With 2000 hours of flying experience, I am curious to know why you are not flying commercially in France or in some other country?   What aircraft types are you certified to fly?    You obviously have Class 1 instrument rating, multi engine, or even an airline transport rating on your licence ?   2000 hours is a good entry point  for many airlines in different countries...

I have a cpl multi instrument airplane with class 2 medical . I fly only single and multi , no heavy rating. I worked for aerial activities ( jumping , surveillance and flight instruction). I am looking for more  a job in single or multi propellers pilot....

Good luck in your job hunting.  If you are not hired by a foreign employer, you might need to have some flying skills on aircraft types that cannot be found here in the Philippines.  Otherwise, I believe there are ample single engine Filipino pilots here from what I know with my conversations with employees of Philippine  Airlines.   By the way, I  have my commercial flying licence in my scrapbook now as I cannot be bothered with the re-certification and ongoing medical check-ups.  At one time in my life, i was pursuing an exciting career  in the airline business.    :)

Quick but off topic(ish) - Philippines only or Asia in general?

There was a serious shortage of pilots for twin engine short haul stuff in Indonesia; companies such as Susi air hire a lot of foreign pilots.

Australia has a pilot shortage too.
