Facebook groups of Filipinos in Korea

A decade ago, it was through Yahoogroups that Filipinos in Korea meet online. In fact, I met some of my friends through these groups ~ but now Filipinos in Korea meet through Facebook groups. Here are some of the more popular ones (description of each group is their own):

Pinoy EPS in Korea

Description: Reuniting all EPS/non-EPS workers in South Korea & to other countries as well. Sharing ADVICES, OPINIONS & HELPING one another especially on work related issues.
Membership: 20,539 as of July 22, 2015
One would assume that majority of the members are EPS workers and this where they share information about their working life in Korea. If you have a question or if there is anything you want to know about the EPS system, then this is the best group to join. The best part about this group is that ADS are not allowed and the members are generally nice and friendly when answering inquiries 😀
