I am moving to Ramallah with my Filipina wife and son. We would like to know if there is a Filipino community in the city?

Lol, old post but I’d say that’s a hard no. In general I’ve seen very few Asians in the West Bank and I’d be incredibly leery of racism against your wife all over the Middle East. There are Filipino communities in the Gulf where she’d likely find friends to feel more at home, but she would still face a lot of racism from the Arab population. The Middle East as a whole is incredibly prone to stereotyping people based on their nationality and ethnicity, and Palestine would be a particularly brutal place to move as a Filipino.
