Overseas Filipinos around the World
Commission on Overseas Filipinos (COF) estimated last 2010 that approximately 9.5 million Filipinos worked or resided abroad. This is about ten percent of the population figure of 94.01 estimated by the National Statistics Office (NSO).

Many of them are women applying as nurses or domestic helpers and personal service workers. Others emigrate and become permanent residents of other countries. The Philippine government estimates that more than 2.3 Million Overseas Filipinos are working in the Middle East (mostly Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates) often as Doctors, Physical Therapists, Nurses, Caregivers, Accountants, IT Professionals, Engineers, Architects, Entertainers, Technicians, Mechanics, Teachers, Military Servicemen, Seafarers, Office Service Professionals, Students, Domestic Helpers, Fast Food Workers, and Skilled Workers taking on unskilled work overseas, resulting in what has been referred to as a Philippine brain drain, particularly in the health and education sectors.
