Filipinos in the Middle East



Top destination for Filipino working abroad? That's the Middle East! But why? Is it because of the salary? Or the environment? Or the luxury?

Filipino loves working, we know that already. But to choose the Middles East intrigues me. Why?

Firstly, the Middle East (UAE, qatar, and Egypt) - the world's fastest growing construction market! Because of this, they need skilled workers and laborers at low cost plus able to communicate with them easily. As we all know, most Filipinos speak English and that's a catch. It's cheap for the employers but a fortune for Filipinos. A good example for that is the Engineering department. Filipino Engineers can earn a starting salary of Php 15,000 a month in a private company, suprisingly in the Middle East a Filipino Engineer can earn Php 60,000 to 100,000 per month! This kind of salary in the Philippines is for Top executives or the highest pay for a Proffesor in college.

Domestic work, healthcare, construction labor, skilled construction, and engineering are the top 5 jobs for Filipinos working in the Middle East.
