Philippines jobs are available for Filipinos and expats/foreigners if you want to spend more time in the perfect tropical Asian location.
I've been living, earning, and working for several years now in the Philippines and Cebu. In general, salaries in the Philippines are lower than in other countries. For Filipinos the highest paying jobs are in the BPO industry, or call centers. If you are interested in this type of work you may need to study and improve your English and/or go through one of the training courses available. For expats, call centers are also a good source of reasonably well-paying jobs, as are the multi-national corporations with operations in the country.
There are 3 ways that you can find Cebu jobs and work, earn and live in the Philippines:
Philippines Jobs - Philippines Call Center
Create an Online Small Business - Build a Life
Instead of traditional Philippines jobs, why not try a job online? In today's world of high speed DSL internet access a lot of jobs are being created using the instant communication features of the internet. If you were able to choose what you really want to do, what would it be? On the top of my list involved the freedom to travel and to choose when and where I wanted to work. It also had to involve one of my hobbies and something I was passionate about.
There are legitimate real business people who have taken a logical, intelligent and sincere approach to working and conducting business on the internet. Creating a job and building an income online can be done. It requires effort, some time, and a learning curve, but what job doesn't?
Follow your passion and interests and build yourself a long term income at the same time. Join others just like me who longed for freedom and a chance to do what you truly enjoy. Experience the sense of freedom, self-reliance, joy of living, passion... all the things that REALLY matter.
Teach English
The international ESL jobs at schools in the Philippines for Korean and Japanese students are good jobs. The schools are heavily advertised in Korea and Japan, but not widely known to advertise their open positions for native English speaking ESL teachers. These schools have become popular with Koreans and Japanese because of the small class size. As a native speaking English teacher your class size will usually be a maximum of 6 to 8 students. The ESL jobs industry in the Philippines has been growing rapidly recently and I don't think it will slow down any time soon. There is currently a demand for American teachers seeking Philippines jobs who are qualified and competent professionals.

The Call Center industry (Business Processing Outsourcing, BPO) is also booming. Philippines jobs in the call center industry have exploded in the past few years. They sometimes have positions open for expats. Jobs in this industry have become more common recently.
A call center is an organization that handles inbound/outbound communications with customers. It is a centralized office that answers incoming telephone calls from customers or that makes outgoing telephone calls to customers (telemarketing). They may also respond to letters, faxes, e-mails and similar written correspondence. Your job might be as a trainer or English monitor to ensure the quality of English used by the Filipino staff.
These Philippines jobs may involve shift work, for example, you might have to work the graveyard shift. There are also other positions available with call centers, such as in management, that require you to have prior call center experience.
