Abstract

This paper focuses on understanding the economic migration of Philippino women to the transnational market of household work. We base our research on the feminist literature on reproductive labor, using a review of scholarship as a tool to understand the structural and statal elements that help to keep this flux in pace. We choose the Philippines from a broader look at southeast Asia both because it is a country considered a regional “model” in migration governance and because of its sheer number of outflow migrants. Our study method consists of a case study, through which we focus on news taken from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration website, to reveal the positioning of the State on the governance of Philippino migrant women and its nuances at that.
