It operates through member firms in more than 150 countries and territories, serving businesses, governments, and institutions across industries.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers growing opportunities in shared services, business-process operations, finance, technology, consulting, cybersecurity, healthcare, tourism, and digital services. Manila and nearby cities such as Taguig, Makati, and Quezon City have the largest concentration of multinational employers, while Cebu and Davao also have expanding business communities. Filipino culture is generally hospitable, family-oriented, community-minded, and comfortable with English in professional settings. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to relaxed coastal and provincial communities, with generally affordable food and services but significant traffic and variable public transport in Manila. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and visa, commonly a 9(g) pre-arranged employee visa; requirements can vary by nationality and role. Relocating employees should confirm immigration, tax, healthcare, housing, and employment details with EY and Philippine authorities before arrival.
