PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to review the international migration-and-development story of the Philippines, amongst the leading migrant-origin countries.Design/methodology/approachMigration and socio-economic development data are used to depict the migration-and-development conditions of the Philippines.FindingsThe Philippines has mastered the management of overseas migration based on its bureaucracy and policies for the migrant sector. Migration also rose for decades given structural economic constraints. However, the past 10 years of macro-economic growth may have seen migration and remittances helping lift the Philippines' medium-to-long term acceleration. The new Philippine future beside the overseas exodus hinges on two trends: accelerating the economic empowerment of overseas Filipinos and their families to make them better equipped to handle the social costs of migration; and strategizing how to capture a “diasporic dividend” by pushing for more investments from overseas migrants' savings.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper may not cover the entirety of the Philippines' migration-and-development phenomenon.Practical implicationsImproving the financial capabilities of overseas Filipinos and their families will lead to their economic empowerment and to hopefully a more resilient handling of the (negative) social consequences of migration.Social implicationsIf overseas Filipinos and their families handle their economic resources better, they may be able to conquer the social costs of migration.Originality/valueThis paper employed a population-and-development (PopDev) framework to analyse the migration-and-development conditions of the Philippines.

外流“旁边”的“新”菲律宾未来

目的本文的目的是回顾菲律宾在主要移民来源国中的国际移民和发展故事。设计/方法/方法移民和社会经济发展数据用于描述移民和发展条件调查结果菲律宾已经掌握了基于其官僚机构和移民部门政策的海外移民管理。鉴于结构性经济限制，数十年来移民人数也有所增加。然而，在过去 10 年的宏观经济增长中，移民和汇款可能有助于提升菲律宾的中长期加速增长。除海外外流外，菲律宾的新未来取决于两个趋势：加快赋予海外菲律宾人及其家人的经济权力，使他们能够更好地应对移民的社会成本；并制定策略如何通过推动海外移民储蓄的更多投资来获取“侨民红利”。研究局限/影响本文可能无法涵盖菲律宾移民和发展现象的全部。实际意义提高海外菲律宾人的金融能力和他们的家人将导致他们的经济赋权，并希望能够更有弹性地处理移民的（负面）社会后果。社会影响如果海外菲律宾人及其家人更好地处理他们的经济资源，他们也许能够克服移民的社会成本.
