Filipino nurses in the United States and Europe as well as entertainers in Japan send more dollars to their families compared with other overseas workers, a money transfer firm executive said yesterday.


A skilled laborer abroad would send back home an average of $300 a month while the amount is double for nurses and entertainers, said Patricia Riingen, vice president of Western Union Philippines, one of the biggest money transfer companies in the world.
