Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to request data on the number of foreigners currently living and working in the Philippines, including those issued with work and immigrant visas or with any standard statistical disaggregation. I want this information to be broken down by country of origin. The dataset should be a time series, i.e., from 1975 to 2022. 

I would appreciate it if you could provide this information as soon as possible. The data will be used only for academic research purposes. 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,
