The Philippines is one of the biggest stakeholders on the issue of migration as the fourth biggest migrant-sending country globally. With a diverse range of skilled human power, we a source country for engineers, doctors, nurses, technicians, pilots, IT specialists as well as construction workers and domestic helpers in 130 countries. Migrants’ remittances which reached almost $ 18 million in 2009 provides a critical source of foreign exchange for the Philippines and many other countries, especially during economic crises. Despite this tremendous gain, migration has both gains and pains that impact on individuals, communities and families.
