Yeah, you're right, the labor force is cheap in the PH. Although there are some economic zone areas in the Philippines where some companies are allowed to do some business. I just have no idea how much is the salary of the normal employees right now. But based on the experience of my ex-bf, he was working in a Japanese company and his salary was not enough. He got hired through an agency (not directly hired by the company) that would take some percentage of his salary. It was awful.

I believe you and that's the thing. People think if you're working for a foreign company, you get a higher wage, but these companies don't go there to pay workers the same wage as in their countries. This is why so many big brands are building factories in China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other countries. It's politics and economics :)
That's the reason why many Filipinos also prefer to work abroad like nurses and teachers. I also remember that many Filipinos also work as factory workers in Taiwan but with better pay than working as factory workers in the PH.
