You can buy a mansion in the Philippines for a £80,000, although you can’t buy land or a house without Filipino citizenship. However, you can indeed live like a king for less than £1,000/Mth.
Your mobile phone bill will be just as much as western countries.
Cars cost just as much as in the West, but no point having a car as it’ll just get wrecked in the crazy traffic.
Beautiful islands, very friendly and hospitable people, so cheap to eat out.
AFAIK, you pay $1,000 for your work permit.
Very common to not be paid on time in the Philippines across a lot of sectors and industries.
I don’t know how they will get 320 rated pilots with 500h on type when there are plenty of western 320 operators crying out for 320 rated pilots!
Not a country I’d recommend you work in without some local connections. They say that the Philippines’ biggest export is its people both educated and uneducated, what does that tell you!
