Reason No. 8 - Generally we Filipinos don't compete with our employers once we decide to do business on our own so employers need not worry about giving trade secrets during the course of employment. It's a Filipino value called "debt of gratitude" that's generally frowned upon if not observed. That goes with the loyalty-to-employer trait. Plus, we are not as entrepreneurial as the Indians.

This is great! I'm a virtual assistant from the Philippines and I was just curious how it is on the flipside. :D I think what foreigners don't know is that Filipinos are very emotional and very appreciative. We thrive with a good environment and when we are complimented for the tasks done. We love flexibility (time) more than the actual rate! This is because we really value family time and if we can provide for our families, and have a steady job, we can go above and beyond our work. Thank you Becca , You summarized our core values well! :D Please feel free to message me if you need outsourcing help or need to get some tasks done :D I'm available!
Filipino virtual assistants: A winning combination of talent, work ethic, and affordability. Learn why they're a top choice for businesses looking to scale!
Actually 5 USD is NOT a lot of money here in the PH. It certainly does not go a "very very long way". Let's keep in mind this is just the gross pay too. Upwards of 6-7USD, probably may be considered sufficient to live on, depending on what part of the country you're in as there are also different regions/cities/provinces here with varying living costs. Also depending on your relationship/family situation. The reason why a lot of filipinos though would still accept this salary is because most of them may not have better job opportunities, some would rather stay at home working and a lot of filipinos are very good in budgeting, and they dont complain a lot. I'm sometimes flabbergasted by job ads where foreigners are looking for Experienced remote workers but then offer only 3-5USD per hour, without any benefits plus they have to work on a night shift! Plus they have to use their own equipment/electricity/wifi to do the work. Usually night-shift jobs should have a premium. Filipinos are talented and relatively "low-cost" but let's not take too much advantage of this.
This is perfect, i just posted a job in the Philippines and am about to hire someone. My husband and baby are Filipino, and I wanted to give back over there as well as it being beneficial to my small business.
Hi!Becca thank you for being kind and friendly I appreciated, I'm from the 🇵🇭 your vids is very informative about my country's Outsourcing business it gives me some glimpse and idea regarding this industry.BTW m your new subs stay safe🙏❤ Fr.Doha,Qatar🇶🇦
I started this VA business back in 2008 and at that time there were very few VAs. The hard part during those years was collection. But now it has mushroomed all over the Philippines... So after working in the call center then comes the VA. Thanks, Becca Martin for sharing this info.
Cos of living is actually high in the capital region in the PH. The main reason they take the low rate is because there are not a lot of options. The WFH is a great factor as well, it’s a great plus when they don’t have to battle the traffic
Ms. Becca thanks for the positve information about the Filipino people as a worker which i ve found its true.......stay safe always....May God Bless us all.....
PINOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! As a virtual assistant, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the recognition bestowed upon us. We are equally grateful to our clients for granting us the opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities in elevating their businesses. "Indeed, the success of our clients is our own success" ~ embodying the true spirit of the Pinoy mindset.
I am a virtual assistant since 2013 for a NY based kitchen and bath company. As an industrial engineer I have never thought I would end up designing kitchens. But I love it and the pay is incredible. ❤️
Hi Vanessa! So glad you've had a good experience! I'm looking to hire a VA and I'd love to know more about your experience with pay. Would you be willing to share what your rates are?
Thank you Ms. Becca. You 've said alot about Filipinos and they are true. We are known for being hospitable. Also, we are hardworking and friendly. 😍😀🤩
Hi,,Becca thanks for promoting Filipino,, the,ability, capability,culture,,God bless..I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤ 😄..you have a heart of being a Filipino..
Kung may magulang lang ako na tutuonan ang aking pag-aaral,magaling din seguro ako sa English language at spelling. Kaso kapos at maaga akong iniwanan.Ngayon akoa ay hirap sa wika nayan,lahat nalang na aaplayan ko dapat English ang gamit para ma hire.
sorry to hear that..ako naman hindi masyadong magaling pero nakakapagsalita naman ako ng english at gusto ko sana matutong maging VA kaso hindi ko alam paano sisimulan...bilang isang high school graduate lang nangangarap sana akong maging isang VA kaso everytime na iisipin kong hogh school graduae lang ako nawawalan ako ng kumpyansa sa sarili eh kahit alam kong matutunan ko rin naman yun kapag pinag aralan...and i am afraid employers would turn me down upon knowing i did not finish college...
Hi Becca! What’s the best way to actually pay your foreign VA? And what kind of documentation do you need from this transaction to write it off your taxes? Thanks!
Bicca its not that we Filipinos are bragging because we can speak better english its because our education and the form of our government is pattern in America our school medium of instruction are all in english language sometime some of us Filipinos could express ourselves better us using english than our local language thanks for positive view about us but we are not perfect there are also bad tomatoes in the basket...
Why Not try Koreans I just watched a lady on a tv program mocking Philippines English Perhaps they have better English & attitude, You should try from them then tell us the experience.
He was being sarcastic. Don’t waste your time looking for Koreans who can speak good English. They would be few and far between and would be educated in an English-speaking country or the Philippines.
In my experience in bach of my schol year ....many student cant speak pointly of english accsent ...even his graduated in high school ...to the point ...more new generation of this time is lock of inglish language...ph is not good for inglish in my opinion

I couldn’t agree more 😢
My plan is to offer regular bonuses of $50-$100 uncapped even for the clerical work. I would appreciate a talented individual so much!

Partially disagree. Indians are more all in one package... Except for calling they are good for almost any kinds of job including management level.
yes, you indians also good in scamming people (scam call center capital of the world)
Haha. That intro 😂
