I am a filipino born in the US. I visited the Philippines a year ago and loved it. So I want to live and work there. Not sure if it will be permanent. Another reason why I want to work there is because of the beautiful filipina ladies.

I am pretty positive that you can apply for dual citizenship (with Philippine passport) or a balikbayan status which allows you to stay in the country for a year hassle-free because of your Filipino parentage. My brother in law has that (he's white) for the simple association of being married to a Filipina. Meanwhile if you want to work you could either:\n\na. look for an Expatriate job there which would assign you here\n\nb. push for recognition as a dual citizen\n\nor \nc. just go here and look for possible employment as an Alien\n\nGood luck man, its really a blast living here, i dont blame you. :)\n\n***\nto Well, \n\ni didnt say it was automatic, i said i was pretty positive that he could apply for it because of his parentage.

One thing you could focus on is the large numbers of Filipinas (women) who come here as domestic helpers - how do they fit in with our culture, language, social activities, etc.?

Miss, I am terribly sorry about what the USA did to your country. I was there. What we did was inexcusable. Saying I was ordered to do it is pretty lame. Your country, what I saw of it, was beautiful. The people I met and meet now are resourceful and have been pretty smart. I know the US trades with you now. Take care of your people. Be careful in dealing with the Western world. Do not let the multinationals strip your resources away.

you know what.. I am a Filipino and I have a lot of online friends... even foreigners..\n\nit is so sad to see this kind of stories involving my countrywoman.. i won't blame you guys if you condemn her but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not try to make us ALL Filipinos look like SOCIAL CLIMBERS nor GOLD DIGGERS... Remember, this is not a unique issue! And we are not sure if this is the first time for it to happen... I bet, it also happened to your country... it may not be an INTERACIAL CONFLICT....\n\nTo the one who made this question.. I hope you'll move on as soon as possible.. you take care :)

a tropical country with many beautiful beaches, diving spots, historical landmarks, and other natural beauties..defenitely a good place to visit (except of course in the war torn areas in the southmost part of mindanao.)\nit has talented people (who speaks wonderfull english) with cheap labor cost that would be an attraction to a lot of foreign investors...however it has been tainted by the world as a country with poor political stability because of whats been going on (edsa 1,2,and the curren crisis of GMA), but what the international media doesnt see is that these crisis are only in metro manila (who by the way didnt like her from the start)...if you go to other places for investment like CEBU, CLARK, SUBIC and other major non-metro manila cities, all is peacefull and quite...so i hope the bad perception will be changed...

I disagree that the country is reaching its dead end. Phillipines is a developing country. The people (I mean fillipino) are very good people and they are dedicated to the work. I know one friend who is a teacher in a school. She is very dedicated to the job. She is satisfied with the economic as well as political circumstances. You should know that no country can become rich overnights. You have to wait  and see the result of investment made in the country by the Govt as well as by private sector. Please be patient and have faith in the natural outcome of your country.

I think you had two thoughts ram into each other.  As a Filipina, growing up a better life meant getting a good job, going to school, and eventually having a family.  How is that bad?  We believe that you get what you give.  We help others because we are told that it will ultimately get rewarded by someone doing the same for us.  How is that bad?  Here's an identity for you.  Before you talk about Filipinos and pretend to know Filipinos, live like one.  Grow up as we have.  Until then, don't talk because you think you know, but you really don't.

your first problem will be finding the filopeans...hard to come by...try the Phillipines....and, when it comes to your children, an arm and a leg is heads and tails over someone who just needs a job...you need someone qualified and experienced...good luck taking chances with the safety of your children.

NO! definitely not!\nthe philippines culture is inside us! wherever we go..what ever we do...with whom we are...it's leaving in our soul...mind...body.\nThe real filipino is who likes to be what he likes...in filipino way!

My brother in law is British and loves it here.  He doesn't want to go back except visit his family once a year.  He hasn't really faced too many problems.  Just some jobs he couldn't get until he became a citizen.

I am an Asian too, Proud Indian actually, and have many Filipino friends and acquaintances, and I find them to be very kind and friendly people who have no qualms about taking chances, in every sense of the word. They are very outgoing and open-minded. Their food habits are an acquired taste, I must say, but it grows on you!

I live in Egypt while my husband lives in America. I moved here with my kids so they could have family. But unfortunately there is no job here for the hubby so he must remain in America to work till he can start a business. Then God willing he will move here and we will live happily ever after.

She's trying to enter America LEGALLY.  She can always reschedule.  It's not the Philipinos that are the problem, though.  The do speak our language as well as Tagalog and other Dialects, and are highly intelligent.  If she's a Nurse, she can get a Visa with no problem.  As you know we are low on Medical Personnel.

I was always told that they joined the Navy because they can work for 20 years and then go back to the Philippines and live like kings on their retirement income. \nNot a bad deal for them really. \nWhen I left the Navy in August 2005, there was not a shortage of Filipinos, so I don't think the recruiting ever really stopped.
