Working in Philippines

The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands, with major employment centers in Metro Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other resort destinations. Hospitality, tourism, sales, food and beverage, events, and business services provide many opportunities, especially for candidates with hotel or international experience. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented, and English is widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living in Manila to a more relaxed beach-oriented pace in resort areas. Costs are generally lower than in many Western countries, although Manila and popular tourist islands can be expensive. Foreign applicants normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, while Filipino citizens should confirm local employment and relocation requirements. Housing, transport, healthcare, and weather should be considered before moving; the country has a tropical climate and seasonal typhoons.
