How is working in Manila? Why do many people say that working in the Philippines is not good?

I have been working in the Philippines for two or three years. Let me share my views:

First, let’s talk about the good aspects of working in the Philippines

1. All expenses for coming to the Philippines are borne by the company, and you don’t need to pay for it. It’s equivalent to working abroad for free

2. The basic salary in general companies starts at 6,000, which also includes food and accommodation, and commissions. People who do well can earn tens of thousands a month, and those who do well can earn over 100,000. Yes, there are many people around me who earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month. Sitting in front of the computer every day and talking to clients is something you can get.

3. The living and accommodation conditions are good. There are six or seven dishes a day, a combination of meat and vegetables, which taste pretty good. Breakfast, midnight snacks, etc. are all available. Accommodation is all in apartments, with air conditioning, sofas, swimming pools, gyms, Filipino maids for laundry and cleaning, etc. It's really great.

4. There are dinner parties every month, various seafood feasts, etc., you can eat whatever you want

5. During your vacation, go to the beach or the island, the scenery is really It's beautiful. I especially like going to the beach. It’s really super cool

6. Occasionally repair the car. The girls in the Philippines are beautiful and the price is cheap, only 400 yuan. They are all young girls. You can choose whatever you like.

7. The offices and accommodation buildings are all tall and elegant, and they are considered the best buildings in the Philippines.

8. I feel superior to others when I go out, because Filipinos are poor and you are rich. It's very easy to hook up with local Filipino girls, just like Chinese girls like black people. As long as you can speak some English, you will definitely be able to read countless girls.

9. The recruitment requirements are really simple. As long as you can type on a computer and are under 35 years old, you can apply. However, it is up to oneself to be led by the master to practice. The rest depends on your efforts.

Anyway, there are all kinds of good things. Once you experience them, you will know how cool they are. People who are used to staying here will not be willing to go back if asked. My friend has stayed in the Philippines for five years, and I have been here for almost three years. Neither of them planned to go back. Why go back? The salary is low, there is no skills, three to four thousand a month, food and accommodation are not included, when will those days end?

Okay, after talking about so many good things, let me talk about the bad ones. Otherwise, why would many companies be recruiting people?

1. Public security is not as good as in China, and you can’t go anywhere. They say the Philippines is poor, so many lawless elements in the Philippines must be looking at foreigners. Once you seize the opportunity, then you The only way to avoid disaster is to lose money. Therefore, not every place in the Philippines can be visited, so try to go to some safe places. Making money safely is the most important thing. But the place where I work and live is very safe. The downstairs is guarded by security guards 24 hours a day, and outsiders are not allowed in

2. Not every employee can adapt to this kind of work. Many people cannot get used to the company's management system. Some companies really rely on Yes, but most company management is very humane, but when it comes to promotion, pressure is always there. A supervisor who cannot put pressure on employees is not a good supervisor. Some people can't accept this kind of sales method. As you know, it feels like you're trying to steal customers' money. But all sales are like this. Those who sell insurance, sell clothing, and even do TikTok ads in China are all different. A routine? Some people simply cannot endure hardship, but for various reasons, most people are eliminated before they even get started. In fact, those who are eliminated are basically chosen by themselves. Then the result is that they leave after paying the compensation and not making much money. Some even lost money instead of making any money. Complaints abound on the Internet.

3. Legality, because most of the working people actually have temporary work visas. If you have a 9G work permit, you will have nothing to fear. When I had to check with the Immigration Bureau before, I didn’t have a 9G work permit, it was just a temporary work permit. Every time I went out, I had to check if there were people or cars from the Immigration Bureau. If you are caught, you have to spend money to get people. Although it is legal, you must have a legal visa to do it. In fact, it is okay if you don't have one. The immigration bureau usually dispatches targeted ones. One floor of rcbc was inspected before. Why not inspect other buildings? Because their company embezzled the agent's money.

4. Beware of the Chinese. People in the Philippines are looking at the money in your wallet. After all, it is not much. But if the Chinese here are really cheating, then it is not the people in the wallet. Don't offend others, you can make money by working out, just work down-to-earth and you'll be fine.

5. There are many scam companies. If you are not careful, you will fall into them, especially newcomers, but most of them are fine. Currently, there are at least several thousand companies in the Philippines. Because these scam companies look similar to good companies. Experienced drivers in the Philippines know which companies are good and which companies are bad. Then they can ask some questions to know whether the company is a scam or not. But novices don’t understand. Even if you understand a little bit, do you think there will be a shortage of people for good positions? I have some people here in the Philippines who recommended their lovers to come to our company. After reading my information, he said that the treatment was not as good as that of their company. I asked why don’t you let your lover join your company? He said that they The company is not hiring. Of course, there is a shortage of people for good positions, so when they recruit people, they will naturally select people based on age, gender, education, overall quality, etc. So when looking for a job, you should first look at your own situation. Then choose a suitable job based on your own situation.

6. The Philippines is very poor, so many infrastructures are not good. Sometimes I want to find a trash can, but I really can’t find it. Sometimes I want to go to the toilet, but there is none. I can only go to KFC to use the toilet.

When we are looking for a job, we should also pay attention to the following points

First: Choose a formal company. First of all, a formal company is legal to operate in the local area, and secondly, it will handle the procedures for its employees. Work visas ensure that employees work safely and legally in the Philippines. Try to choose a company located in a prosperous area so that you can have fun after get off work.

Second: When negotiating with the recruiter, try to ask more details about salary, benefits and other information, and make sure it is suitable before proceeding. Go to

Third: Remember, you don’t come to the Philippines to make money, you come to work. You must have a hard-working mentality when working, and your work attitude must be correct, so that you can develop in the long term

Misunderstandings or worries about new jobs

1. Legality, This is what everyone worries about when they come here, but this issue is the last thing they should worry about. After working for so long, I once met a job seeker who went to a company in Villa. The companies recruiting here are all legal, regardless of Is it a good company or a scam company? They all work in office buildings. Illegal companies are usually companies that are secretly established in villas. They will not recruit people easily. They usually only find relatives, friends and other close associates. They are also afraid of being reported. If you are really unlucky enough to get in, Then when you come out, go directly to the boss and ask for your passport. Tell them that if you don't give it, you will report it. Or go to the embassy to reissue it.

2. Worry about not paying wages. Some people say that as long as the company pays wages on time, that will be fine. All I can say is that your requirements for the company are too low. Working in a company is different from working on a construction site. When a company works, wages are paid monthly. When working on a construction site, you may be paid after the work is done. If you work in a company and don't pay your wages when it's time to pay them, what do you think other people are doing?

3. Security, as mentioned above, I will add it here. Chinese people in the Philippines are rich. They hang out in bars, nightclubs, etc., drinking and getting into any car. The Philippines is indeed not as safe as China. If you don't pay attention and say it is unsafe when something happens, I can understand it. But for peaceful people. Basically, I didn’t encounter too many things. At most, I encountered thieves stealing things. People who keep to themselves are safe wherever they are. So if Xiaobai comes here, be careful. This is not the main concern.

Fourth, I am worried that I am not going to BC company. What I want to say is that there is no other industry that is more profitable than this industry. And this industry is legal locally

5. What you should be most concerned about is, do you have the determination to persevere? Do you shrink back when you encounter difficulties? Can you endure hardship? Can you handle the pressure? And what about the company you chose? If you encounter any problems at work when you come here, remember it, grit your teeth and persevere.

6. A company that packages air tickets or provides full package air tickets must be a good company if it provides good service. Companies that need to buy air tickets themselves are not very good. In fact, the opposite is true. The better the company, the more likely it is that you will be asked to handle the procedures yourself. Unless you are talented.

7. Regarding compensation, when you work in the Philippines now, they will usually tell you how long the contract period is. If you are not full, what kind of compensation will be paid? It is usually nothing more than the cost of visa, air ticket, customs clearance, and work permit. Now Most companies pay out thousands of dollars. For those who work, the cost is very small, and most companies do not need to pay compensation after working for half a year.

If you are not doing BC work, such as in Japan or Singapore, the agency fee is 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. In Japan, the contract is three years. If you do not complete the contract, if you leave, the company will sue you and compensate you 100,000 yuan. Agent, if you don't believe it, you can check online and the court documents. In fact, I don’t think it’s difficult to work in the Philippines. Personally, I don’t think it’s difficult. Basically 99% of people can do it well. The reason why many people leave their jobs is simply because they are afraid of hardship, pressure, and unwillingness to persevere. The most important thing is that they don’t want to do it, don’t want to do it, or don’t want to do it. Say important things three times. Some people say that the company they met is a scam. Then what I want to ask is, the company will not pay you wages, and the company will beat you. It's just that you didn't think there was much pressure before you came, and then after you came you found that working hours was very stressful. People who really want to do well will find ways to learn and work hard to do well.

So to sum it up, is it really that good here? Yes, but there are also a lot of downsides. No matter it is good or bad, you have to know the purpose of coming out. Every industry has its good side, some people can make money, and some people run away. I hope you are the one who rises to the challenge. . When you have value in the company, you will become more valuable. Only when you can solve difficulties that others cannot solve can you keep climbing up.

Those who have been eliminated just prove your perseverance

Many people on the Internet have written about the legality, safety, etc. of the Philippine industry. In fact, when you arrive in the Philippines In the future, you will find that these are not important. What is important is how the company is, how your development in the company is, and how much money you can make in the company.

Thank you readers and friends, and wish you happiness!
