Due to the destitute economy in the Philippines, millions of Pinoys are going to foreign countries to obtain a job and provide for the need of their family. At present, there are roughly three million Pinoys outside the country whose occupations include medical, household and hotel occupation, IT and others.

According to studies, there are plenty of Pinoy jobs in the country. However, the job orders do not fit the job seekers - adding these numbers to roughly millions of jobless Filipinos nowadays. The problem with the Filipinos without jobs is also augmenting as there are also many businesses from various parts of the world that are laying off workers because of worldwide economic problem. Since these nations prioritize their people, the Filipino staff is the first ones to be removed.
