ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explore the practice of transnationalism embedded in the life of Filipino married immigrant women. The participants of the study were three Filipino married immigrant women, and the case study was used to explore cases through in-depth interviews and group interviews. As a result, in the lives of Filipino married immigrant women, all the practices of transnationalism in the socio-cultural, economic, and political dimensions were revealed. The socio-cultural practice was found to be in contact with the Filipino family by phone and frequent access to the Filipino media. In the economic practice, it was found that a small amount of money needed for family members or acquaintances or hospital expenses were remitted. In the political practice, it was found that Filipino married immigrant women were interested in the Philippine elections and participated in community network. These results have implications in not only supporting the practice of transnationalism in the lives of Filipino married immigrant women, but also helping to balance the bilateral transnationalism between the Philippines and Korea.
