Philippines ranks number one in sending migrant female workers in the various countries of Asia (predominantly the China Territories). Speculatively speaking, there will be more women who will continue to work abroad to sustain their family in the Philippines ([See 1]). These women face many hardships such as abuse and discrimination in their search for work abroad ([See 2]). Migration often occurs because of poverty and thus they are treated as such in the country where they work ([See 3]). As Shu-Ju Adeng theorized, there is a category created for the Filipina maids or others in countries such as Taiwan and Hong Kong [(see 4)]. Cameron Wesson also discusses this global phenomenon of migrant working women and the difficulties they face of taking care of two families – their employer’s and their own [(See 4)].

Many of the authors such as Shu-Tu Cheng and other authors have discussed the nature of the treatment of these women. None have really contested varying views with each other [(see 5)]. Rather, they do not necessarily branch out. Rather they focus on the overall experience and there is not one specific topic that has not been covered. There are some view that should be covered such as the further marginalization of the migrant workers and the mentality of the employers when choosing a maid [(See 6)]. This goes along with exploring the reason that these women do what they do. In general, the whole field could be given further exploration of personal experience because not many have given personal accounts of people they have interviewed ([see 7)].

I would like to further the research in the overall experience of theses women especially the mothers who must rear their employers child and their own at the same time. There is also the interesting dynamic of a husband and wife relationship and how a female breadwinner undermines the status of a husband in the Philippines ([See 8)]. I want to make a contribution that will show the plight of the workers from their life in the Philippines to their life abroad. I want to make a comparison of before, during, and after their time in a various countries working for different people ([See 9)].
