Philippine budget carrier pay rates?

Hey all, new guy here.

Anyone in the Philippines know the pay rate for the local budget carriers? Cebu Pacific, Airphil Express, ZestAir and AirAsia-SeaAir?

Rates for Captains and FOs would be great.

I know this is rather straight-forward, but i'm an aspiring airline pilot, having just gotten my private license, and was really wondering if airline pilots really earn that much... or if I should just plot out a career in general aviation.

Also, i've heard that AirPhil is taking on low-timers who are willing to self-fund their own type ratings, but initially as "Limited" First Officers. Is this standard practice, or just an AirPhil thing? And what's the difference between Limited and Regular/Full FO, task and schedule wise? Do they get the same pay rate and all that?

Again, my apologies if my queries offend anyone, chalk it up to simply not knowing better, i'm new here.
