Not all Koreans after the world war II we're gone into the the Philippines to search for better living but there are some of them. And we're talking about the first immigrants, not at all. It is also mentioned in the TV SHOW "Kapuso mo Jessica Soho in an episode about koreans in the Philippines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.106.8.181 (talk • contribs) 12:08, 16 April 2007

Then you should mention this when you make the edit that removed the {{fact}} tag. I would also prefer a stronger reference than a television show, due to the functional difficulty of verification of the content (back episodes of television shows are not easy to obtain for the average editor even in the country where the television has been shown). cab 04:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you certain it's the late 1980's? That doesn't seem right. I think it's at least the late 1990's and more likely early 2000's.

"However, the Korean community in the Philippines had little influence on Philippine society until the late 1980s, when the Korean wave (the mass influx of Korean tourists and immigrants, as well as the increasing popularity of South Korean television and pop music) started.[2]" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hardyandtiny (talk • contribs) 11:19, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Korean Filipinos"

Anyone got any any verifiable information about Filipinos of Korean descent? Definitely don't form a significant population compared to expatriates and their kids. And this term "Korean Filipinos" doesn't seem to be used in the first place; e.g. don't see it anywhere on Google/Google Books. [1][2] cab 01:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
