Zainab: There are some factors here that are more important than your qualification and experience that count when getting selected for a job. Your nationality, even the region from where you come from in your country counts. For example, if your are from Kerala or Tamilnadu or Andhra in India and the employers are from the same place, you can be almost sure of landing a job. It is the same thing with the Filipinos. Religion to which you belong also plays a role. I am stating these from first-hand experiences as I have gone through all this.
Having said that, don't lose hope and keep on trying. There are some employers in the field who do stand on a higher moral ground and they may consider all your merits and appoint you. The competition is no doubt tough.
