*[[Italy]]. There are more than 500,000 "listed" Filipinos in [[Italy]]. Ironically, [[Italy]] gained more momentum in regard to receiving Filipino immigrants than Canada despite the longer and more historical migration of [[Filipino-Canadian|Filipinos]] to the [[North American]] nation.
 
*[[Hong Kong]]. There are 140,000 Filipinos in [[Hong Kong]], of whom most are domestic helpers (30,000 of them being members of the Filipino Migrant Workers Union). Filipino maids are known by the locals as amahs, or more often feiyungs (less politely bun mui or bun bun). A Hong Kong work visa requires some amount of higher education; and in some cases Filipino women with college degrees and perfect command of [[English language|English]] are willing to work as maids and nannies for a salary higher than they could make at home.
