Bound by abiding trust and respect, Filipinos and Singaporeans have been steadfast regional neighbors. In May last year, the two countries marked the 55th year of bilateral relations. These relations have grown in many key areas including trade and investment, security and defense cooperation, cultural exchanges and people-to-people relations.
An estimated 200,000 Filipinos live and work in Singapore and actively contribute to the economic development of both the Philippines and Singapore. Approximately 60 percent of Filipinos in Singapore are professionals and skilled workers, while the rest are employed as household service workers. Prime Minister Wong singled out the Filipinos’ valuable contribution to the containment of the coronavirus pandemic in the island-republic.
