For years, thousands of Filipino health workers, mostly nurses, have been working in hospitals and other health care institutions in the Middle East, and in the United States. And just like other professionals working in a foreign land for economic and social gains, the increasing migration of health workers also posts issues on the protection of rights and welfare of these workers (Lorenzo, 2005)
