The Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) stated that there are many job opportunities for Filipino (Pinoy) OFWs in Asian countries like Brunei, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea. Although the application process for these countries are not the same, these countries need more professionals and skilled workers. The job opportunities for Pinoy abroad are indeed a partial answer to Philippine unemployment.
According to an official statement from the POEA through the OFWGuide website,
More overseas jobs are waiting for professional and skilled OFWs as they are in-demand in Asia. Former POEA Administrator Baldoz said, “This was despite competition posed by other labor-sending countries and restriction on labor and nationalization policies of some host countries.”
Baldoz informed that Taiwan and South Korea remains a top destination for Filipino factory workers. With the new hiring program for OFWs in Taiwan, there are also emerging markets for IT professionals and healthcare workers.
South Korea on the other hand is in need of skilled OFWs for their construction and shipbuilding industry. Job prospects are also bright for OFWs in Asian countries such as Brunei, Singapore and Malaysia.
The hospitality industry of Singapore is in need of competent staff. There are job vacancies for hotel managers, supervisors, croupiers, dealers, chambermaids, and waiters/waitresses. The construction industry of Singapore also need to hire architects, engineers and draftsmen.
On the other hand, demand for Information Technology (IT) professionals are increasing in the cities of Penang, Johore, and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Skilled foreign workers are also needed to work in the construction, shipbuilding and ship repair companies in Johore. There are also job openings for casino workers and entertainers are need in Genting Highlands Hotels and Resorts located in Johore.
If you are a Filipino who wants to got abroad and work, may I suggest that you try going to Asian countries mentioned here because the job opportunities are many and there is a high likelihood that you’ll land good jobs. The demand is high for Pinoy OFWs this year and we hope to see more of this trend in the coming years. Goodluck to all my fellow Pinoys looking for jobs abroad.

Fren,
My wife and I are planning to go to Canada in two years or less. There are many job opportunities in Canada (especially for nurses). If we cannot produce the needed money, then we might as well plan to work in Asian countries like Brunei or UAE first then move to the US after a few more years.
