Embassy plays a major part in helping their citizens find employment abroad

I saw a HABITUAL / CAREER ORIENTED BEGGAR to walk with support stick / handicapped, walking on ONE LEG, during the day and at about 2 am night rode his MOTORBIKE with BOTH his legs comfortably.

Begging should be made ILLEGAL except in certain physical disabilities and such people FORCED TO WORK HARD / FIND EMPLOYMENT by reporting to an UNEMPLOYMENT BUREAU, GoP.

One of my neighbor who happened to have nanny for his kids in Middle East, his wife died and that nanny later on become Muslim, travel to Pakistan to take care of his kids, and after a couple of year he married his kids nanny, and she was a very nice women.

There are around 2,000 Pilipino workers in Pakistan (estimate).
Apparently they are treated better than in GCC.
Some are working as nurses as well since Pakistan is in desperate needs of Nurses and Personal Support Workers as well.

What's the cause of death for his wife? Maybe I'm too much of a conspiracy theorist in this case......

Doesn't have to be conspiracy. My wife's father passed away at the ago of 45 one heart attack and that was it few years back. It's good they both married as long kids accepted her.

Make sure the Filipinos are Muslims.
That's the only drawback. Your kids will learn English and stuff they shouldn't learn

Most pakistani nanny and maids goal is to steal and steal.

This is true sadly. But they are also paid very little in comparison to the Filipinos.

A Pakistani maid will be paid not even 20000 rupees so compare that to $400 can you blame them for stealing?

Plus Pakistani use the Filipinos as a symbol of pride and success. I know many such maids in Islamabad and trust me even gay men are being imported and working in Pakistan.
