Pensive story of PH overseas workers

Latest issue of NGM has a sobering article about the Philippine overseas workers. PH has devolved from the 2nd richest country in Asia in the 1950s to a "Blanche Dubois" economy nowadays with 10% of its GDP coming from the remittances of overseas workers. Why the tender-hearted filipino people should be the victims of a kleptocratic political system?
