A survey by OCTA Research finds that 57% of adult Filipinos are open to living or working overseas if given the chance. Both reports say the figure comes from the OCTA Research “Tugon ng Masa” survey, conducted from March 19 to 25. The survey uses face-to-face interviews with 1,200 adult respondents. According to the reports, respondents who consider migration most often cite better job opportunities as their primary reason for being open to working or living abroad. The surveys also report a contrasting share of respondents who prefer to stay in the Philippines: 39% said they would rather remain in the country. The sources present the results as indicative of overall willingness to migrate for work or residency, rather than actual plans or migration outcomes. The reports do not provide details on whether willingness varies by region, age, or other demographics. Overall, the findings describe broad receptiveness among adults to the idea of moving abroad primarily for employment prospects.
