Iranians in the Philippines
There is a community of thousands of Iranians in the Philippines, including many international students drawn by the country's low-cost English education. According to the figures of the 2000 Philippines census, they were the 11th-largest group of foreigners.〔〔Behind 115,558 Britons, 111,647 Bahrainis, 87,446 Americans, 61,700 Chinese, 43,871 Indonesians, 34,955 Indians, 18,172 Australians, 13,907 Angolans, 11,835 Japanese, and 10,708 Brazilians. However, the census figures did not specify any nationality at all for roughly two-thirds (2,608,896) of the recorded 3,912,119 aliens.〕
==Migration history==
Drawn by low tuition fees and the use of English as the medium of instruction, Iranian students began studying in the Philippines as early as the 1960s. By the late 1970s there were between 2,500 and 3,500 Iranian students in the Philippines, largely in Manila. Though they were given scholarships by the government of the Shah, many of them were supporters of Imam Khomeini. After the success of the Iranian Revolution in February 1979, seven hundred Iranian students broke into the Iranian embassy and hung a picture of Khomeini there. Iranian students also took an interest in political issues involving Islam in the Philippines. They mixed with local Muslims and held joint protests with them, and arranged for the shipment and distribution of religious literature from Iran. This naturally aroused the suspicion of Ferdinand Marcos' government, which ordered the Department of Education to carefully examine all the files of the Iranian students. No Iranian students were admitted for study in 1980, and 30 were deported.
However unrest continued in the following years. Iranian students continued to arrange various political demonstrations. Pro-Khomeini and anti-Khomeini students engaged in violent clashes. The Khomeini supporters were known to be in contact with the Moro National Liberation Front, sending them funds and arms; they also assassinated some anti-Khomeini students.〔 In 1981, Philippine government charged another 200 Iranian students with committing acts "inimical to national interests" and violating their conditions of stay in the Philippines, and had them deported. However violent clashes continued to be reported as late as 1987.
As of 2010, Iran continued to send thousands of students to the Philippines. Iranians were the third-largest group of 9(F) student visa holders that year, amounting to 2,980 persons, behind Chinese and Koreans. Among these are a number of Iranian medical students in Cebu, who in 2010 fell victim to the a tragic and widely reported bus accident which led to an inquiry by the Iranian embassy.
