Based on the information I gathered from WIKIPEDIA, a total of 175,000 Filipinos are residing in Singapore in their 2013 survey.
In 2007, about 80,000 Filipinos work as domestic helpers and around 12,000 Filipinos are into the information technology industry.
Between 2010 - 2012, around 50,000 Filipinos were newly hired, Majority are domestic helpers. Some work as nurses, engineers, bank tellers, sales personnel in department stores and entertainers.
Out of 175,000 Filipinos in Singapore, around 30,000 can participate in the Philippine National Election this coming May 9, 2016.
It is interesting to know that our relationship with Singapore started way back in 1966, after it was founded as a nation in 1965. Our relationship with Singapore is mutual in all areas according to Ambassador Antonio Morales, Philippine Ambassador to Singapore.
