Destination Guide

The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao and other resort destinations, with demand for events, food and beverage, front office, housekeeping and tourism professionals. Manila provides the broadest corporate market, while island destinations offer a more relaxed lifestyle but may have seasonal employment and higher transport or imported-goods costs. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented and community-minded, and English is widely used in business and hotels. Living costs vary: Metro Manila is more expensive and busier, while provincial areas generally offer lower rents and a slower pace. Foreign nationals must obtain appropriate work authorization; employment normally requires employer sponsorship, an Alien Employment Permit and a 9(g) pre-arranged employee visa or relevant permit. A tourist entry does not authorize employment. Candidates should confirm requirements with the employer and Philippine immigration authorities before relocating.
