这篇文章考虑了菲律宾妇女与日本互动的两个案例。第一部分解释了外国直接投资使菲律宾年轻妇女在出口加工区工作以赚取工资。尽管工作时间很长，但他们的工资却被压低到最低工资水平，无法实现经济独立。因此，他们积极参加非法工会活动，以改善他们的工作条件。日本民间社会作为一个国际团结运动也支持他们的抵抗。这是日本不愿在菲律宾投资的原因之一，但也导致菲律宾妇女移民的增加。第二节讨论日本接受菲律宾妇女不是作为正式工人，而是作为艺人或“农村新娘”，以弥补农村男子缺乏妻子。日本试图利用菲律宾妇女为自己的方便。在国外工作有很多风险。即使正式结婚，由于与日本丈夫的价值观差异和语言障碍，离婚和家庭暴力也并不罕见。这些菲律宾妇女通过在日本建立菲律宾网络来应对各种困难，这些网络与日本的非政府组织和人民合作。
This article considers two cases of the interaction of Filipina women with Japan. The first section explains foreign direct investment has brought young Filipina women to work for wages in export processing zones. Despite the long working hours, their wages were suppressed to the minimum wage level, which did not allow them to be economically independent. So, they actively participated in illegal union activities to improve their working conditions. Japanese civil society as an international solidarity movement also supported their resistance. This was one of the triggers that made Japan reluctant to invest in the Philippines, but it also led to an increase in Filipina women’s migrants. The second section discusses Japan’s acceptance of Filipina women not as formal workers but as entertainers or “rural brides” to make up for the lack of wives among rural men. Japan tried to use Filipina women for its own convenience. Working abroad has various risks. Even if married officially, divorce and DV are not uncommon due to differences in values and language barriers with Japanese husbands. These Filipina women responded to various difficulties by forming Philippine networks in Japan, which collaborate with Japanese NGOs and people.
