My Friend was never given a chance in the Philippines, in his case it was ATO who doesnt want to issue him a license because he was wearing a lense. So he went to the states for it, everything didnt happened overnight. After his schooling he went back to the Philippines and converted his FAA to Phil license, this time ATO can't say No. He then started flying for some Fixed base operators around Manila(He's quite talented...), and if my memory serves me right He worked for at least two companies before he joined Cebu Pacific. I would say, it took him around 5 to 6 years til the airline doors opened up for him.
PALAV is a quick way to an Airline Career, with the massive need for pilots Im sure theres plenty of space for you. Try to consider Kontras suggestion(Laser eye treatment).
