is it allowed for us citizen to work in philippines?

Question

what requirements are needed for that?

Answer 1

You need to find a US based employer who needs you over there. No Filipino employer would consider hiring you. There's massive unemployment and enormous underemployment. Teachers earn $200 a month and doctors $300 a month. Fast-food places start their employees out at about $3 a day.

Answer 2

"All foreign nationals seeking admission to the Philippines for the purpose of employment, all non-resident foreign nationals already working in the Philippines, and all non-resident foreign nationals admitted to the Philippines on on-working visas, who wish to work in the Philippines, regardless of the source of compensation and duration of employment are required by the Philippine Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to secure an Alien Employment Permit (AEP).

Foreign nationals can apply for an AEP at the nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate. Local employers who wish to hire the services of a foreigner can apply on behalf of the foreign national at the nearest Regional Office of the DOLE. Foreign nationals who are already in the Philippines should apply through their prospective employers with the nearest Regional Office of the DOLE. "
