In the Philippines, more than 60,000 immigrants from China have become the largest foreign ethnic group.

Most immigrants from China and South Korea are students, businessmen and missionaries. They prefer to live in a residential area, because there are towering buildings and cheap residential units. Many tourists also said that they prefer to learn English here because it is cheaper.

In addition to China and Koreans, other foreigners who decided to stay in their own countries were Americans (24,909), Indians (233 17), Japanese (893 1 person), British (487 1 person) and Iranians (3,260).

According to the data of the Immigration Bureau, the number of foreign immigrants in China has increased by 50% in the past three years, from 60,554 in 2007 to 904 13 in 20 13.

Yael described that the active promotion policy of the Ministry of Tourism and the innovative visa method of the Immigration Bureau have also attracted more foreigners to his country, adding that the number of tourists from China, South Korea, the United States, Japan and Taiwan Province Province of China has also increased, because Filipinos speak English well and can communicate effectively with foreigners.

On the other hand, Boracay, Penghu, Cebu and balao Bay are still the most popular places for China tourists.

According to Al, except for short-term tourists who usually stay in their country for less than a week, many of them choose to stay in their country permanently because they think the Philippines provides good business and trade opportunities.
