It also mentioned the arrangement of leisure activities for migrant labors in Taipei was cumbersome for employers because migrant labors had different culture background and came from different countries. Thus the researcher wanted to realize what types of leisure activities the migrant labors in Taiwan liked to do and the what kinds of leisure constraints they met in Taiwan. The researcher chose Filipino labors in Taipei to conduct the questionnaire survey. The sample of the survey was chose purposively in front of St. Christopher church and inside the Jen-Ai hospital in Taipei. There were 360 questionnaires being delivered out, and 276 of them were returned and valid. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t test, and one-way ANOVA.

Learning activities, following social intercourse, were the second leisure activity type which they loved to join; moreover, except amusement activities, there were significant differences between the real participation level and expected (interested) participation level in five left activity types, this might unveil that migrant Filipino labors in Taipei needed more holidays to do leisure activities. This survey also found that the factors which most influenced migrant Filipino labors in Taipei were the leisure activity was not linked with their religion belief, lacking of the information of the leisure activity, money, and time as well as the facilities for leisure were not convenient enough.
