are you able to find a job in the philippines? i believe you can find a good paid job. there are companies needed some french speakers like JP MORGAN and i think there many companies needs some polyglots, i advise you to choose Cebu this is not that im from cebu. une heure pour partout comme la plage et les montagnes. je desire aider les étrangers, je ne veux pas voir des gens perdus. Je suis prêt à aider. je parle un peu fracaise. take care.

The Philippines is far behind in developing countries. You would be better looking for a Euro company doing business in Phils.  Or maybe EDBRD, World Bank Group, AfDB, etc. As far as working at translations/call centers, dont waste your degree on menial jobs.  You will have more opportunities in Singapore or Hong Kong.

Philippines has lots of highly educated people who are desparate to work. How can you compete other tnan language abilities?

Lastly, what nationality are you? If your a ADB member country, can apply for a economist/finance position as a young professional. But its very competitive.

Good luck,
Don

For local, p40k per month is good. Remember min wage in Manila is less than p500/day.  But your comparing US wages to RP. ANd I get that he is tarheting Americans (which I dont think they would qualify for a work permit).

Also, there are plenty of English speaking Philippinos so why would they need to recruit an American?  I just think Americans or Europeans think that just because they are western educated, they will easily find a job in the RP. Philippines has good unis, just no jobs at lving wages.

People are going abroad for jobs, so that should give a clue that wages are low. Only foreigners who can get a work permit are those who can start own business or has a skill that a local does not have so as to not take away a job. Philippinos are a smart and hard working lot, so good luck to those seeking the easy life.
