Brain Gain: One of the solution to Global Warming

One of the main solution to global warming is spreading people from Metropolis to the provinces. I heard this from the program @ur serbis on NBN-4 while interviewing one of the advocates on Global Warming.

Another problem being faced by the Philippines is what we called the "brain drain".
Brain drain as far as my understanding is this:
We drain the Phillippines, our country, from knowledge when Filipinos are migrating into other countries.

In a small scale, this is also true with our own provinces. We drain our provinces from knowledge when we migrate into the metropolis. Actually, this is my experience since I've been almost 15 years here in Metro Manila.

But what can I do or what can we do? I think we can use the knowledge, expertise and
entrepreneurial spirit that we gained from leaving and bring it back into our provices. To create jobs, to inpire people and to help the Metropolis from being clogged.

I heard this word 2-3 years ago from Jessica Soho's show Hot Seat, the word is "brain gain". Brain gain as far as my interpretation are the expertise that we gain from leaving our place. Bringing it back to our own provinces might be the solution.

More power to all Novo Ecijanos!!! Let's continue to contribute to our hometown!!!

Nueva Ecija in Philippine flag


Each part of the Philippine flag has a specific meaning as follows:

The blue field stands for common unity and the noble desires of the Filipino people.
The white triangle with equal sides of the flag is symbolic of equality among men.
The white field stands for purity.
The sun stands for the gigantic strides that have been made by the Sons of the land on the road to progress and civilization.
The eight rays of the sun in the triangle represent the first eight united provinces that revolted for independence - Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Tarlac.
The three stars in the triangle stand for the three major geographical divisions of the country which are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The red field symbolizes the eagerness of the Filipino people to shed blood in defense for their country.

Nueva Ecija Day, September 2

"Unang Sigaw" was the revolt staged by some 3,000 revolutionaries from Cabiao and Gapan led by General Mariano Llanera and General Pantaleon Valmonte, centered on the Spanish garrison in San Isidro town on September 2, 1896.

Philippine President from Nueva Ecija?

There are seven (7) provinces in Region III where Nueva Ecija belong namely Aurora, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales. From four(4) out of these seven(7) provinces came present and past Philippine Presidents namely Manuel L. Quezon (Aurora), Diosdado Macapagal and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (Pampanga), Corazon Aquino (Tarlac) and Ramon Magsaysay (Zambales).

Aren't you wishing that someday there will come a time in Philippine history wherein the president will be from Nueva Ecija? If this time will come, who will he / she be?

Please post your answer. :)
