what are standard rates for freelance writing work in the Philippines?
Should I bill per article? Per page? What if my client is a UN agency? How much can or should I charge?

I saw an ad at bestjobs 3,000 per article. but it really depends on the company
2 :
It depends on the company. They usually charge around P300/article with 500 words.

Well all freelance writers should get paid per article. You can write online for a US company even though you live in the Philippines. Here's some suggestions: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1288190/where_to_find_freelance_writers.html

The usual pay for freelance work varies, depending on how well-established you are as a writer, and on the coffers of the company you're writing for. Some famous Filipino writers do freelance writing on the side as their main source of income--newletters, speeches, website content, annual reports, coffee table books, family history, etc. I've heard that beginner writers are paid peanuts, as low as P100 per 1000-word article. The more established writers can earn as much as P100,000 - P250,000 per project, depending on the complexity of the work and the maturity and track record of the writer.

You shouldn't presume there would be "standard rates". That would vary from company to company. What you should do is research which companies really pay, in full as per the agreed rates, their freelance writers after their submitted articles are approved. Look for those that give premium to quality and well-written content. You should be able to know how much you can charge by measuring your skills in writing. If you're good and you know it, then they'll run after you.

It really depends if your sim is on "roaming".
2 :
BoomBoom is right, its depends if you're in roaming or not...You should get it roamed if your sim is not in roaming..and another thing, it depends if your cellphone is "tri-band" or "quadband".
3 :
You have to call your phone company so they can activate your international roaming service. Activation is free, but it's expensive when you use it. haha
4 :
Your US phone might not work there, even if it does it will be very expensive. You may try to get a local Philippines service even before you leave to avoid roaming from your carrier. Try the provider below:

Check if your operator has a deal with Ph operators, then it will work.

Where can I work in the Philippines teaching English to Koreans

Where can I work in the Philippines teaching English to Koreans?
I have been teaching English to Koreans for the last four years. Korea and the Korean people are very nice but they have winter and I hate winter. I have already checked Dave's ESL Cafe. There is never anything about it.

I don't really think there are many Koreans in the Phillipines. Try another country.

Talk to your carrier and they can switch your location.

more than likely, you don't need to change the SIM card at all. you may have to talk to t-mobile to let them know you are heading down there. there may even be a global setting in the phone you just have to set it to. but, you shouldn't have to change out the SIM card be careful of international roaming rates!
