Are there jobs in the Philippines for Westerners?

Dear Filipino,

I'm thinking of moving to the Philippines for a change of pace and scenery, but I'm concerned of course how I can survive there if I don't have a job.  I guess I have a little capital for a small business, but are there jobs there for foreigners like me?

Dear Western,

Of course, there are jobs there for people like you!

But first, you have to learn a local language. Then, you can, for instance, start a taxi business in Isabela -- like what Jason and Tory tried to do:



Okay. I guess that didn't pan out very well for them. What about a jeepney business in Quezon City?



Or what about selling taho?



See, they made money!

Bottomline: You'll be fine -- so go and move East, man!

  2. I saw the taxi one before but the other two are a treat! It really does help if you speak Tagalog, too. :)
