Hotels requiring native English speaking management is a good idea from [greenetravel]. They would have the influence needed to arrange your work permit/visa.

It may prove difficult, as the Hotel & Catering trade has many colleges/institutions here as it is a conduit for Filipinos to gain a trade/skill that facilitates them getting a better paid job abroad. Hotels/Catering is notoriously poorly paid (unless you are a star chef etc.) but it might be possible to get a junior/middle management position with the relevant experience you have?

Of course, being stuck working in a hotel day & night is not much fun no matter where in the world you are - but I guess you can get to enjoy a bit of the Philippines on any days off you have. Research larger hotel chains that have several properties in the Philippines, so you have the [potential] opportunity to live/work in a couple of regions.

Maybe someone like Shangri-La Group as they are: Manila - Cebu - Boracay?

You need to have a Philippine employer so that you can apply for a 9g visa (work visa).
