I have worked with a few Philippinos, some in the states back in 2001 and more recently in Scotland back in 2009 & most of them are really good guys & good linemen but then you also get some who are only there coz they are some1s brother or cousin and the rest of them try to cover his ass,the worse case was in Mississippi where the company brought over 49 "linemen" and after 3weeks they found out that just less than half where actual linemen,the rest just wanted a green card.

We worked with 50 of them in Wales ... Good workers. ( very strong ) .. They were ok on HV. BUT KNEW NOTHING OF LV. most of them had only worked on towers...
We ended up putting a few of them in each gang to help out each crew... Couldn't really let them work un supervised.. Not their fault. Just not experienced on the UK system..
