This paper attempts to analyze the reproduction experience of Filipino marriage migration women and how to interpret their `mothering experience`. The method of the paper is the depth interview with the Filipino women who live in Jangsu and Anyang. Their life experiences, such as the decision of migration, childbirth and so on, are not just seen in terms of micro aspect and not regarded as personal choices. Because those are affected by the structural aspect, like the migration policies of sending and receiving countries, childbirth policy and economical status. However, this paper adapts the stance on that those women and their internalized caring work cannot be represented as just `victims` and subordinated people in the global hierarchy. Therefore, this paper tries to interpret how their life experiences and choices in Korea, such as childbirth, rearing and caring work, influence on their future prospect focused on the aspect of cultural politics of identity.
