This has been a direct consequence of the increasing number of OFWs and professionals who live and work abroad. While this may be beneficial to the country as remittances are considered thus far to be a stable source of foreign earnings, its flip-side is the brain and skills drain that represent considerable costs to the country. The real net effect of remittances appears inconclusive with some empirical studies purporting the positive contribution of remittances to the economy but also others showing the downside.
