Filipino workers
Manila's global workforce
Filipino workers refers to laborers from the Philippines, particularly those employed abroad.
The Philippines is one of the world's largest sources of migrant labor, with millions working as nurses, domestic helpers, sailors, and construction workers across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and North America.
The term often appears in discussions of remittances, labor rights, and overseas employment: Filipino workers send billions of dollars home each year.
Also called OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) when working abroad.
