Japanese attitude towards Filipinos?

I have just recently read an article about the attitude of Japanese people towards

Westerners, and I am partially confused about it.

As a part of a school project, I am just curious about this being Filipino myself.

Update:

I mean, for immigrants, what is the social acceptance in the country?

Update 2:

    Filipinos are seen as cheap sources of labor.

    Women are brought in to work as semi-skilled nurses or more often as bar workers.

    Men are employed in factories and some manual labor positions.

    Until robot technology becomes more advanced Filipinos will continue to be seen in Japan.

    Japanese people see Filipinos as creatures of a lower order.

    Or more commonly they don't think of them at all.

    "attitude" is a very broad term. I think you need to be more specific.

    Addition:

    Japanese are getting more and more strict on Filipino immigrants because many of them have tried to stay in Japan illegally in the past.

    Filipino is one of the most difficult nationalities if you want to stay or immigrate to Japan.

    But if you got a proper visa, you can live here.
