Personal remittances to the Philippines sent by Filipinos abroad are rapidly growing. According to the World Bank, the Philippines is expected to be among the top recipients of remittances this year, with money sent from overseas seen to reach $38 billion. These remittances came from 11 million Filipinos worldwide, working or residing outside the country.
The Filipino diaspora is one of the largest and most spread out in the world. Indeed, it is estimated to comprise over 10% of the country’s population. Countries with the highest Filipino population are the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Japan.
