MANILA, Philippines — China is a more promising labor market for Filipino household workers, a party-list representing Filipino migrant workers said Sunday, adding demand for English-speaking nannies is rising in that country. In a statement, ACTS-OFW said Filipino workers in China will have better working and living conditions than in the Middle East. According to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, 1,058,514 Filipinos were deployed to the Middle East in 2015-2016, the latest figures on its website. "The problem with the Middle East is that they still have the kafala system, which China does not have," Rep. Aniceto Bertiz III said. ACTS-OFW, citing voter registration data, said there were 102,421 migrant Filipino voters in China.
