Roles of support NGOs for migration between the Philippines and Japan: Focusing on the experiences of migrant women and Japanese – Filipino Children
Over the last 3 decades, the emergence of Japanese–Filipino children, born from the presence of female entertainers holding the “entertainer” residency status, has profoundly shaped the dynamic movement of individuals between Japan and the Philippines. These distinctive migration patterns have been regarded as noteworthy “social issues” within both Japanese and Philippine contexts. This study aims to illuminate the multifaceted roles assumed by s…
Intergenerational Exploitation of Filipino Women and Their Japanese Filipino Children: Born out of place' Babies as New Cheap Labor in Japan
This paper focuses on the Japanese Filipino children as 'born out of place' babies of migrant Filipino mothers and recent young migrant workers in Japan's labor market. I present the unique position of Japanese Filipino children and their Filipino mothers as an example of intergenerational exploitation of migrants in Japanese society. The existence of Japanese Filipino children mirrors intersectional discrimination in Japanese society; they were …
The Rights Movement for Domestic Workers in the Philippines: Its Local and Transnational Path to Decent Work
Until recently, two types of domestic worker –migrant domestic workers and local domestic workers– had seldom been considered as workers in the same sector in the Philippines. However, during the ratification campaign for ILO 189 Convention for Decent Work for Domestic Workers, or C189 and the creation and enactment of the Batas Kasambahay, a local law under C189, the two types of domestic worker have started to connect and even work together for…
Exclusionism targeting international marriage couples and their children
Currently, one out of 50 newly born babies in Japan is a mixed or “hāfu/half” child. This fact might debunk the myth that “Japan is an ethnically homogenous society (tan’itsu minzoku)” and reveal a more realistic picture of Japanese society. Since the 2000s, the term “multicultural symbiosis (tabunka kyōsei)” has been popularized as both a buzzword as well as a depoliticized discourse. However, discourse of “multicultural symbiosis,” which is now…
Filipino Domestic Workers and the Creation of New Subjectivities
This article analyzes the social activities of migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong and Singapore in the context of the feminization of migration. It classifies these activities into those that move towards (1) upholding the rights of migrant domestic workers, and (2) upgrading their social status to promote social mobility. These two activities and the changes they effect may be achieved individually and collectively, and clearly show the capab…
Social Discourses on Filipino Women Migrants
Since the introduction of the overseas employment policy by the Philippine government in 1974, the practice of ‘mag-abroad’ or ‘working abroad’ has become socially diffused. In this essay, I explore some ways in which Philippine society has positioned Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) as ‘heroes’ who bring money into the Philippines while simultaneously casting migration as a ‘social problem’. The latter discourse has become particularly significa…
