The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed migrant vulnerabilities particularly in receiving countries. In Japan, for instance, while social protection has been extended to all residents, reports claim that such measures are limited and inadequate to ensure the well-being of its migrant population. This qualitative research examines the experiences of Filipino immigrant women in Tokyo dealing with the COVID-19 crisis and accessing social protection during the pandemic. It illustrates the dualistic, transnational tendency of their social citizenship: “denizen here, full citizen there”. As denizens, Filipinas benefit from and contribute to Japan’s social protection through sustaining familial support, engaging with residential communities, and relying on one’s livelihood to limit reliance on state support. At the same time, fulfilling social obligations during crisis has kept them bound to homeland Philippines. The chapter underscores that Japan’s social protection in the recent pandemic should frame migrant women beyond being passive dependents. While the global crisis has deepened prevailing inequalities among migrant women, it has also created opportunities for some of them to become active social citizens. This study imparts insights into the significance of transnational social protection in negotiating the limits of host and home states’ welfare systems and ensuring Filipinas’ wellbeing beyond the pandemic times.
