35,000 Filipinos Working In Macau

(http://www.intergame.ltd.uk) - There are already about 35,000 Filipinos working in Macau - doing various things from the usual hotel services to running golf courses or acting as security personnel.

Because of the business boom in Macau and a fast growing middle and a lot of expats, there is also a demand for household help and it may soon follow the experience in Hong Kong.

"With all the feverish construction of new hotels and casinos, it is easy to see why there would be thousands of new jobs available for our work force in this booming Special Administrative Region of China," said writer Boo Chanco.

There are more than 10 million overseas Filipinos worldwide, about 11% of the total population of the Philippines.

Each year, the Philippines sends out more than a million of its nationals to work abroad through its overseas employment program.
