I have met many people who belonged to the Philippines. However, I have met them in Saudi Arabia. Majority of them come to Saudi Arabia and other middle eastern countries for job purposes. However, I have always wondered why there are so many Filipinos in Saudi Arabia and other middle eastern countries? Is there any particular reason for that?
Why are there so many Filipinos in the middle eastern countries?

My brother works in Saudi Arabia but sad for almost 4 years now they were not paid. They suffer hunger. My family sends money to my brother monthly. His girlfriend will help him get an exit visa for Dubai. I have many relatives who work abroad.
There are also a lot of Filipinos in Hong Kong. I think there are over 200,000 Filipinos who work as domestic workers here. It is a large community.
I can't really tell the reason for that but I guess they just tell each other about where they are, how it is and that attracts more people to go there. I have seen that happen even in my country. Many people started going to Australia because they kept referring each other there.
Saudi Arabia is a highly developed country compared to Philippines and the Filipinos come there for better opportunities.
