Lots...
all kinds of jobs... some are maids... some clerk in shops... secretaries... electricians... computer techs... even as teachers at all levels, even university. Pretty much any job that the training and educational systems of the Phillipines provides...

Lots in schools, particularly nursery/kindergarten/primary.
Lots in nursing and allied health professions. |

Why not contact the Phillipino Embassy/Consulate in Abu-Dhabi/Dubai, they have all the information about the registred Phillipinos in UAE, their number, occupation, their activities, etc. |

There are lots at the end of the creek in Dubai and very pretty they are too, beautiful plumage, all pink and white.
I don't think you�re allowed near them though, so take your binoculars and a flask of tea, and some nice sandwiches. Endless family fun!

I prefer to gaze at Chinese women and Irish lasses. Both are much more interesting in every way  |

Is it that easy for just about anyone from anywhere to work in the UAE? Are work visas that easy? |

No. They use agencies who use and abuse their employees from all around the world... make them pay big fees... house them in hovels... and work them long hours for very low pay... often 7 days a week.
It's modern slavery in action...
