Casaban-Rose is one of many nurses and professional carers from the Philippines who have settled in Wales
Katherine Cabasan-Rose arrived in Wales from the Philippines thinking it would be a good stepping-stone to the US. A decade on she has a Welsh husband, a daughter and, for now at least, no plans to head on to America or return to her homeland.
Casaban-Rose is one of many nurses and professional carers from the Philippines who have settled in Wales. Though nobody is certain how many of her countrymen and women are working in hospitals and care homes, their arrival has swollen the number of people born in the Philippines and living in Wales to 6,000 according to the ONS figures.
Polish-born people top the Welsh table, followed by those born in India, Germany, the Republic of Ireland and then the Philippines. Casaban-Rose was one of many hundreds of Filipinos recruited at the turn of the century to help make up a shortfall of local health workers. "I wasn't planning to stay forever but when I got here I found I liked the place and liked the Welsh people," she says. She did go on a trip to New York but found the people not as welcoming as those she met in Cardiff and Swansea and so stayed put. The only thing she still cannot get used to is the rain.
There are vibrant Filipino communities across Wales. The North Wales Filipino Association is based in Denbighshire and organises the "North Wales Filipino basketball league" and a dance group. The association has also participated in the International Eisteddfod, the annual Welsh celebration of music and dance.
Some of the nurses have brought their partners over and started families in Wales while others like Casaban-Rose have married local men or women. Filipinos are now to be found in all sorts of jobs, including restaurants, bars, banks and offices.
The figures throw up other points of interest. There are an estimated 290,000 German-born people in the UK – fifth in the table behind India, Poland, Pakistan and the Republic of Ireland. In the north-east of England the German-born population is the second biggest, behind only India. The German embassy is not taken aback. "The UK is an attractive place to do business and to study," said spokesman Thomas Schieb. But he was at a loss to understand Germany's lofty position in the north-east table. One explanation is that the numbers could be swollen by the children of British service personnel who were based in Germany.
The number of Chinese-born people in the north east – 7,000, making the group the fourth biggest – may be down to a combination of a well-established community, with a Chinatown in Newcastle, and the attempts of business leaders to attract Chinese investment.
There are explanations for other statistics that may seem surprising at first. The number of US air bases in the east of England helps account for the large number of American-born people found there. Sizeable communities of Lithuanian and Slovakian-born people are based in Northern Ireland, as many have moved there for work over the last few years, and in the case of the Lithuanians, there is a long-established population in Northern Ireland.
There is also a large Canadian-born population in Northern Ireland, the result of age-old links between the two countries. Canadian Orangemen march in the main parade in Belfast on July 12.
Cabasan-Rose is not surprised that so many people settle in the UK. "We Filipinos have a good community, we look after each other. But we are happy to live in such a multicultural community that accepts everyone." Steven Morris
