Over the past few years, as the diplomatic relationship between the Philippines and America continues to strengthen, Filipinos have become a prominent work force in the United States.

At first glance seafaring may seem like an exciting profession—a job that pays well while offering a chance to see the world. But while that is true, it is more important for us to see beyond the general perception of this career.

Whether it be on the job, competing in sports, or participating in other competitions, Filipinos strive to give their best.
This year, to foster a spirit of friendly competition between migrant workers, the Bureau of Labor Affairs in Taiwan has organized a paintball competition.
