Abstract

This chapter provides an elaboration of how and why Filipino transnational families in Japan often adopt temporal physical mobility as a strategy for social advancement. Particularly, the chapter explores the practical realities of families whose children, due to various societal issues, are not able to access suitable education in Japan, and are therefore forced to travel to the Philippines to pursue their education. The evidence presented shows that these families do not only aim for their children to acquire institutional education, but are also invested in cultural socialization and the acquisition of various forms of cultural capital that are perceived as valuable for future transnational careers and the maintenance of kinship ties.
