An '''overseas Filipino''' ({{langx|fil|Pilipino sa ibayong-dagat}}) is a person of full or partial [[Filipinos|Filipino]] origin who trace their ancestry back to the [[Philippines]] but are living and working outside of the country. This term generally applies to both people of Filipino ancestry and citizens abroad. As of 2019, there were over 15 million Filipinos overseas.<ref name="auto2"/>

==Population==
In 2013, the [[Commission on Filipinos Overseas]] (CFO) estimated that approximately 10.2 million people of Filipino descent lived or worked abroad.<ref name="CFO2013" /> This number constitutes about 11 percent of the total [[Demographics of the Philippines|population of the Philippines]].<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Unlucky Country: The Republic of the Philippines in the 21St Century|last=McKenzie|first=Duncan Alexander|publisher=Balboa Press|year=2012|isbn=9781452503363|location=Bloomington, IN|pages=138}}</ref> It is one of the largest [[diaspora]] populations, spanning over 100 countries.<ref>{{cite book|author1=David K.

The [[Overseas Filipino Worker]]s (OFWs) tend to be young and gender-balanced. Based on a survey conducted in 2011, the demographics indicate how the 24-29 age group constitutes 24 percent of the total and is followed by the 30-34 age group (23 percent) working abroad.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Philippines: Selected Issues|last=IMF|publisher=International Monetary Fund Publication Services|year=2013|isbn=9781484374061|location=Washington, D.C.|pages=17}}</ref> Male OFWs account for 52 percent of the total OFW population. The slightly smaller percentage of the female overseas workers tend to be younger than their male counterparts.<ref name=":0" /> Production workers and service workers account for more than 80 percent of the labor outflows by 2010 and this number is steadily increasing, along with the trend for professional workers, who are mainly [[Nursing|nurses]] and [[engineer]]s.<ref name=":0" /> [[Filipino seamen]], overseas Filipino workers in the maritime industry, make an oversize impact on the global economy, making up a fifth to a quarter of the [[merchant marine]] crews, who are responsible for the movement of the majority of goods in the global economy.<ref name=Dec2018NGM>{{cite magazine |last1=Almendral |first1=Aurora |last2=Reyes Morales |first2=Hannah |date=December 2018 |title=Why 10 million Filipinos endure hardship abroad as overseas workers |url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/12/filipino-workers-return-from-overseas-philippines-celebrates/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181211091254/https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/12/filipino-workers-return-from-overseas-philippines-celebrates/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 11, 2018 |magazine=National Geographic |location=United States |access-date=March 2, 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Unsung Filipino seafarers power the global economy |url=https://www.economist.com/asia/2019/02/16/unsung-filipino-seafarers-power-the-global-economy |newspaper=The Economist |date=February 16, 2019 |access-date=March 2, 2019 }}<br />{{cite book|author=Kale Bantigue Fajardo|title=Filipino Crosscurrents: Oceanographies of Seafaring, Masculinities, and Globalization|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AFfpH6rJYEIC|publisher=University of Minnesota Press|isbn=978-1-4529-3283-5}}<br />{{cite book|author=Leon Fink|title=Sweatshops at Sea: Merchant Seamen in the World's First Globalized Industry, from 1812 to the Present|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QDsd812PbqcC&pg=PA186|year=2011|publisher=Univ of North Carolina Press|isbn=978-0-8078-3450-3|page=186}}</ref>

The OFW population is consistently increasing through the years and this is partly attributed to the government's encouragement of the outflow of contractual workers as evidenced in policy pronouncements, media campaigns, and other initiatives.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Globalization and International Political Economy: The Politics of Alternative Futures|last1=Rupert|first1=Mark|last2=Solomon|first2=Scott|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|year=2006|isbn=978-0742529434|location=Lanham|pages=[https://archive.org/details/globalizationint00rupe/page/88 88]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/globalizationint00rupe/page/88}}</ref> For instance, it describes the OFWs as the heroes of the nation, encouraging citizens to take pride in these workers.

==Economic impact==

In 2012, the [[Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas]] (BSP), the [[central bank]] of the Philippines, expected official [[remittance]]s coursed through banks and agents to grow 5% over 2011 to US$21 billion, but official remittances constitute only a fraction of all remittances.<ref name=InqIllegal>{{cite news|last=Remo|first=Michelle V.|title=Stop illegal remittance agents, BSP urged: Informal forex channels a problem in the region|url=http://business.inquirer.net/93066/stop-illegal-remittance-agents-bsp-urged|newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=November 14, 2012}}</ref>

Remittances by unofficial, including illegal, channels are estimated by the Asian Bankers Association to be 30 to 40% higher than the official BSP figure.<ref name="InqIllegal" />

In 2011, remittances were US$20.118 billion.<ref name="Star2012growth">{{cite news|last=Magtulis|first=Prinz|title=Remittance growth poised to meet full-year forecast - BSP|url=http://www.philstar.com/business/2012/11/15/867048/remittance-growth-poised-meet-full-year-forecast-bsp|newspaper=The Philippine Star|date=November 15, 2012}}</ref>

In 2012, approximately 80% of the remittances came from only seven countries—United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Japan.<ref name="Star2012growth" />

In 2018, remittance had increased to $31 billion, which was nearly 10% of the GDP of the Philippines.<ref name="Dec2018NGM" />

In 2019, Overseas Filipinos sent back $32.2 billion to the Philippines.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://business.inquirer.net/265151/2018-remittances-hit-all-time-high|title=2018 remittances hit all-time high|first=Daxim L.|last=Lucas|website=business.inquirer.net|date=February 16, 2019}}</ref>

===Philippine Independence Day Parade===
The [[Philippine Independence Day Parade]], or '''Philippine Day Parade''' in [[New York City]], the world's largest outside the [[Philippines]], takes place annually in the [[United States]] along [[Madison Avenue]] in [[Midtown Manhattan]]. The parade is held on the first Sunday in June.
Its main purpose is to create awareness of [[Culture of the Philippines|Philippine culture]] and to raise funds for charity projects in the Philippines and the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/18688617/philippine-independence-day-celebration-in-nyc|title = FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul|date = September 10, 2021}}</ref> The Philippine Independence Day Parade is increasingly being attended by both American politicians and Filipino celebrities as well as diplomatic officials who are keenly aware of the significant and increasing political and economic power exerted by the [[Filipinos in the New York metropolitan area|Filipino diaspora in the New York metropolitan area]].<ref name=FilipinoCelebritiesNewYorkDiaspora1>{{cite web|url=https://pidci.org|title=Philippine Independence Anniversary Commemoration, New York City|publisher=Philippine Independence Day Council, Inc. in conjunction with the Philippine Consulate General in New York|access-date=July 8, 2023}}</ref><ref name=FilipinoCelebritiesNewYorkDiaspora2>{{cite web|url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/amp/overseas/06/07/23/ny-parade-held-for-ph-independence-day|title=Crowds turn out for PH Independence Day parade in New York|publisher=Don Tagala, TFC News New York|date=June 7, 2023|access-date=June 8, 2023}}</ref>

==Issues==

===Employment conditions===

According to a statement made in 2009 by John Leonard Monterona, the Middle East coordinator of Migrante, a [[Manila]]-based OFW organization, every year, an unknown number of [[Filipinos in Saudi Arabia]] were then "victims of [[sexual abuse]]s, [[maltreatment]], unpaid salaries, and other labor malpractices".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://qa.filipinoexpats.com/node/940 |title=OFW rights violation worsens under the Arroyo administration |last=Leonard |first=John |date=July 3, 2008 |publisher=Filipino OFWs Qatar |access-date=January 25, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107061353/http://qa.filipinoexpats.com/node/940 |archive-date=January 7, 2009 }}</ref>{{update inline|date=April 2017}}

====Government policy====
[[Philippine Labor Migration Policy]] has historically focused on removing barriers for [[migrant worker]]s to increase [[accessibility]] for employment abroad. Working conditions among Filipinos employed abroad varies depending on whether the host country acknowledges and enforces [[International labor standards]]. The standards are set by the [[ILO]], which is an [[UN]] agency that 185 of the 193 [[UN]] members are part of. Labor standards vary greatly depending on host country regulations and enforcement. One of the main reasons for the large differences in labor standards is due to the fact that [[ILO]] only can register complaints and not impose sanctions on governments. Returning overseas Filipinos are known as "Balikbayans".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://philcongencalgary.org/visa/balikbayan-visa-free-privilege|title= Balikbayan Visa-Free Privilege|website=Philippine Consulate General, Calgary}}</ref>

Emigration policies tend to differ within countries depending on if the occupation is mainly dominated by men or women. Occupations dominated by men tend to be driven by economic incentives whereas emigration policies aimed at women traditionally tend to be value driven, adhering to traditional family roles that favors men's wage work. As women are regularly seen as symbols of national pride and dignity, governments tend to have more protective policies in sectors dominated by women. These policies risk to increase [[gender inequality]] in the Philippines and thereby this [[public policy]] work against women joining the [[workforce]].<ref name="Oishi2002">{{cite web|last=Oishi |first= N. |date=March 2002 |title=Gender and migration: an integrated approach |url=https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0s04g29f#page-17 |publisher=Escolarship.org}}</ref> Female OFWs most often occupy domestic positions.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Tanyag|first=Maria|date=January 2, 2017|title=Invisible labor, invisible bodies: how the global political economy affects reproductive freedom in the Philippines|journal=International Feminist Journal of Politics|volume=19|issue=1|pages=39–54|doi=10.1080/14616742.2017.1289034|s2cid=157252223|issn=1461-6742}}</ref>  However, some researchers<ref name=":3" /> argue that the cultural trends of female migrancy have the potential to destabilize the gender inequality of the Filipino culture.

The Philippine government has recently{{when|date=February 2024}} opened up their public policy to promote women working abroad since the world's demand for [[domestic worker]]s and healthcare workers has increased.<ref name=":2" /> This has led to the government reporting a recent increase in women emigrating from the Philippines. A healthcare problem arises as migrating women from the Philippines and other developing countries often create a [[nursing shortage]] in the home country. The nurse to patient ratio is down to one nurse to between 40 and 60 patients, in the 1990s, the ratio was one nurse to between 15 and 20 patients. It seems inevitable that the healthcare sector loses experienced nurses as the emigration is increasing.
The [[Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement]] is seen as a failure by most since only 7% of applicants or 200 nurses a year has been accepted on average – mainly due to resistance by domestic stakeholders and failed program implementation. The result is a "lose-lose" outcome where Philippine workers fail to leverage their skills and a worldwide shortage persists. Despite the fact that Japan has an aging population and many Filipinos want to work in Japan, a solution has not yet been found. The [[Japanese Nursing Association]] supports "equal or better" working conditions and salaries for Filipino nurses. In contrast, Yagi propose more flexible wages to make Filipinos more attractive on the Japanese job market.<ref name=autogenerated3>{{cite journal|last1=Beneria |first1=L.

Results from a focus group in the Philippines shows that the positive impacts from migration of nurses is attributed to the individual migrant and his/her family, while the negative impacts are attributed to the [[Healthcare in the Philippines|Filipino healthcare system]] and society in general. In order to fill the nursing shortage in the Philippines, suggestions have been made by several [[NGO]]s that nursing-specializing Filipino workers overseas, locally known as "Overseas Filipino Workers" (OFWs), return to the country to train local nurses, for which program training would be required in order for the Philippines to make up for all its nurses migrating abroad.<ref name="Philippine country case study" />

====Host country policies====

Wealthier households derive a larger share of their income from abroad. This might suggest that government policies in host countries favor capital-intensive activities. Even though work migration is mainly a low and middle class activity, the high-income households are able to derive a larger share of their income from abroad due to favorable investment policies. These favorable investment policies causes an increase in income inequalities and do not promote domestic investments that can lead to increased [[standard of living]].
This inequality threatens to halt the economic development as investments are needed in the Philippines and not abroad in order to increase growth and well-being. A correlation between successful contribution to the home country's economy and amounted total savings upon the migrants return has been found, therefore it is important to decrease income inequalities while attracting capital from abroad to the Philippines.<ref name=autogenerated3 /><ref name=autogenerated2>{{cite web|title=Migration and Foreign Remittances in the Philippines |work=IMF working paper: Asia and Pacific department |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Hh2d4maqpWYC&q=philippines+foreign+worker&pg=PA3 |page=3|last1=Haksar |first1=Mr. V. |year=2005 }}</ref>

Many host governments of OFWs have protective policies and barriers making it difficult to enter the job market. Japan has been known for rigorous testing of Filipinos in a way that make them look reluctant to hold up their part of the [[Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement]] and solely enjoy the benefit of affordable manufacturing in the Philippines, not accepting and educating OFWs.<ref name="dx.doi.org"/>

===Return migration===

Returning [[migrant worker]]s are often argued to have a positive effect on the home economy since they are assumed to gain skills and return with a new perspective.
[[Deskilling]] has caused many Filipino workers to return less skilled after being assigned simple tasks abroad, this behavior creates discouragement for foreign workers to climb the occupational ladder. [[Deskilling]] of labor is especially prevalent among women who often have few and low skill employment options, such as domestic work and child or elder care. Other occupations that recently has seen an increase in deskilling are doctors, teachers and assembly line workers.<ref name=autogenerated3 />

To underline what a common problem this deskilling is: Returning migrant workers are calling for returnee integration programs, which suggests that they do not feel prepared to be re-integrated in the domestic workforce.<ref name="Oishi2002" />

As the Philippines among other countries who train and export labor repeatedly has faced failures in protecting [[labor rights]], the deskilling of labor has increased on a global scale. A strong worldwide demand for healthcare workers incentivizes Filipinos to emigrate. The result is a [[no-win situation]] for the sending and receiving country. The receiving countries lose as skilled workers are not fully utilizing their skills while the home country simultaneously experience a shortage of workers in emigrating prone sectors.<ref name="dx.doi.org"/>
