it's difficult for you to find a job in manila. Just like india, non-employment is also high and thus the govt does not easily give job to foreigners if it can be filled by locals.

If you are a vegetarian, resto food will be a challenge. Filipinos eat a lot of non-vege foods from bfast to dinner including snacks.

If you cook, then it's a different story.

Vege is generally more expensive in PH as compared to India.

Onion is around INR150 in PH while around INR30 in Delhi. potato is the same.

so... think it well.
