Filipino workers carves a good reputation worldwide for being hard-working, dedicated, loyal, and trustworthy employees. They are known for their passion and exemplary attitude toward job responsibilities.
Moreover, Filipino workers are also collectively known for the following positive characteristics:

Meanwhile, latest count from the Philippines’ major statistical agency, the National Statistics Office reports an estimated 92.34 million Filipinos worldwide (NSO, 2010). This figure, however, has been assessed to have increased for the past years. In fact, the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency projected the Philippines’ total population to have reached 103,775,002 in July 2012. During this year (2012), the number of employed Filipino individuals was estimated at 37.7 million, according to the October 2012 Labor Force Survey results. Of this figure, more than 2.2 million were Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), the official term given to refer to Filipinos who are legally working abroad.
This blog, the Philippine Workers Blog, is launched to provide informative sets of data for employed Filipinos wherever in the world they may be working. My name is Jefferson Maquiling and I purposefully share this site with a goal to provide significant information that can improve and advance the careers and professional lives of my co-Filipino laborer.
