Shows the rest of the world that Filipino workers are capable/well educated

Bringing profit to the Philippines

Glorified for being brave enough to leave the country in order to profit the Philippines a subheading “Maximizes country’s competitive advantage in the global market”

Outside Perspectives “Essentially, it is legal human trafficking”

Philippines

Equates Filipino workers to a commodity for the government to profit off of Product of buying into “benevolent assimilation”

Deceitful for the government to encourage and celebrate migrant workers for their own benefit Viewed more as “cheap” workers rather than “good” workers

Government enacts laws and policies that favor migrant workers and their families
