Filipino IT workers or IT workers in the Philippines?

Filipino IT workers are lowest-paid in Asia Pacific–survey is an example of a badly constructed headline in my opinion. It should’ve said something like IT workers in the Philippines or Philippine-based IT workers, but not Filipino IT workers, since there are a lot of Filipino IT workers in Asia Pacific specially in Singapore. And I don’t think they’re paid low at all. And the headline can be taken to mean the wrong way that Filipino IT workers are paid less because they’re Filipino not because of the state of the local IT industry. But, it’s just me thinking.
