The Filipino Diaspora refers to the movement and settlement of Filipinos outside the Philippines. This phenomenon has been driven by various factors, including economic opportunities, education, and family reunification. Many Filipinos migrate to countries like the United States, Canada, and those in the Middle East for work, contributing significantly to the global labor market.
As a result of this migration, a vibrant Filipino community has emerged worldwide, maintaining cultural ties through festivals, food, and traditions. The diaspora has also led to the establishment of organizations that support Filipinos abroad, fostering a sense of belonging and connection to their homeland.
