I don't know anything about Filipino demographics but a LOT of Indians that come to the US who aren't highly educated, end up starting small businesses in retail, etc, because that doesn't require a high degree, just raw hard work and perseverance. And those translate to really good incomes. Might be the same thing with Filipinos?
