Yes so I heard. Which is why I decided not to train in the PH if ever I decide to fix my Japan residency and well I just really want to try and apply abroad in the far future.
Where do you plan to work? Is there enough of a demand for low hour people in the Philippines? I am in europe where the market is booming and it's still a massive risk to train on your own without an airline.
Have you considered Qatar Airways via STAA ?
