Why So Many Filipina Women in Cambodia?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Filipinos have been living here for centuries. King Norodom employed a whole Filipino band for palace parties. I've known and worked with quite a few. I've never had a problem with any, though they seem to straddle a strange area between being Western and Asian.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Depends on the mileage, check under the hood to see of the odo has ever been disconnected, number of previous owners, Khmer mechanic. Comes in 3 colors like a T-Model.
Alternatively one can check for how many social networking apps have been installed, random access memory is important and how often it'll just shut down without warning or go to black screen.

1) The Philippines is not far from Cambodia
2) They do not need a visa (ASEAN) although they do if the have a work permit
3) The speak excellent English
4) After living in Manila, they can handle PP with no problem.
5) There are more OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) than the total population of Cambodia.
6) They have much better education than most Cambodians, therefore an advantage for good jobs.
6b) Not lazy, therefore an advantage for good jobs.
6c) Soft spoken and generally polite, therefore an advantage for good jobs.
7) Sing very well
8) Play cards very well

They need a visa like anyone else unless it's just a short trip. I'm not sure what you mean about a work permit, you certainly won't get a work permit before you get a visa.
