Migration is defined as the movement of people from one place to another. Some Filipino that is moving into one place to another has either have an intention to settle down permanently or settle temporarily in that place.

One of her reasons was that the level of crimes in the Philippine is much higher than in New Zealand.

Filipino like her who migrates in another country like New Zealand and settling in a country permanently must be a hard decision. Most Filipinos that are staying permanently abroad are probably migrating with their family and as she made her family followed her in New Zealand. Since New Zealand has much better education for children, she thinks that it's better to be together and migrate so no one would leave alone in the Philippines and live in slums. Even though the Philippines has a good education, she still thinks that there are so much better in New Zealand.

Filipino demand to have a better life for their family and in order to do that they have to lift themself from agony. Since poverty is one of the issues in the Philippines, she wants to have a better life and as Filipino says "It is not our fault if we are born poor but it's on us if we died poor and living in slums". Most Filipinos have chosen to be away from their family and work abroad. Filipinos believe that there are much better opportunity abroad.
