About Migrante B.C.

Migrante BC is a community-based organization committed to the protection and promotion of the rights and welfare of Filipino immigrants and migrant workers in British Columbia, Canada.

We believe in organizing fellow migrant Filipinos in a group of our own.

We do not lose sight of the necessity of working towards one of the most basic rights which Filipinos share with those who have remained in the Philippines: the right to have decent work at home. We assert that Filipino migrants deserve the greatest promotion and protection of their rights wherever they are.

Migrante BC takes the position that the migration of Filipinos abroad is a product of the extreme poverty and joblessness in the Philippines and that the commodification of Filipino labour is encouraged by the Philippine government’s labour export policy program.
