Abstract

The number of migrants from the Southern Philippines in Bitung City is significant because they have reached the thousand mark. This research examines the causative factors that make Bitung City the destination area for migrants from the Southern Philippines. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method and uses migrants from the Southern Philippines as informants. The research results show that the consideration for migrating to Indonesian territory is due to the attachment to the ancestral land (Sanger-Talaud region) and the relatively small income in the area of origin. Bitung City was the destination area because the city has a fishing industry and a port town in North Sulawesi. This characteristic of Bitung City guarantees them to get work, especially offers to work on fishing vessels.
