To help them get the most out of their money, rather than have it sent back to their homes, they withdraw all of their money off the ship.

This means they get it in USD. They then send the USD back, and because of the exchange rate get even more money. Which is good for them.

But, a lot of the Fillopenos work for agencies, as in, the agency gets them their job, and I'm sure IIRC that they take a lot of their wages too.
