Hi Jason, welcome to the forum.
You will find plenty of new friends here.
I wish you very good luck in your quest.
Did you mean you are seeking employment in Philippines?
Securing permission to work in Phils is tough and actually finding a job even tougher.
But the toughest of all might well be surviving on a local salary. By no means impossible but a tough challenge.
Feel free to ask as many questions as you need to inform your strategy.
