Quote:
There are more than 11 million overseas Filipinos worldwide, about 11% of the total population of the Philippines.[1]
Each year, the Philippines sends out more than a million of its nationals to work abroad through its overseas employment program. Others leave to become permanent residents of their country of destination. Overseas Filipinos are typically known to be as doctors, nurses, accountants, IT professionals, engineers & architects,[13] entertainers, technicians, teachers, military servicemen, students,domestic helpers and household maids.
According to estimates by the Central Bank of the Philippines, overseas Filipinos are expected to send back $14.7 billion in remittances to their ancestral homeland in 2007, up from the $13 billion in 2006
