The coronavirus pandemic has made it difficult to find jobs for many people across the Philippines, and they are increasingly looking for opportunities abroad.
The Philippines imposed one of the world’s longest lockdowns when the pandemic broke out, which led to one of the country’s worst economic recessions in decades.
Unemployment is now at 8.9 percent, its highest so far this year.
Thousands of small and medium businesses have also shut down, and communities dependent on tourism are facing the greatest difficulties.

Al Jazeera’s Jamela Alindogan reports from Manila on how Filipinos are being affected.
