In the Philippines, Shangri-La has established resorts and city hotels, including properties in Manila and popular island destinations. The company places strong emphasis on genuine hospitality, guest satisfaction, teamwork and professional development. An Events Manager can expect to work closely with sales, banquets, culinary, rooms and operational teams to deliver corporate functions, weddings and social celebrations.

The Philippines offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, events, diving and customer service, particularly in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan and Davao. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented and strongly influenced by local traditions, Spanish history and international connections; English is widely used in business and hospitality. Island living can provide beaches, outdoor activities and a relaxed social lifestyle, although transport, internet access and seasonal weather vary considerably. Foreign applicants normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, with the employer assisting through the Department of Labor and Employment and immigration processes. A pre-arranged employment contract, valid passport, medical documents and authenticated qualifications may be required. Candidates should confirm accommodation, transport, taxes, insurance, service charge and relocation benefits before accepting an offer. Typhoons and rainy seasons should also be considered when choosing a destination.
