Same 8 hours daily, 5 days a week in the USA, but in the Philippines some companies require 6-day workweeks, some require half day work on Saturdays, but some companies, especially big multinationals have only 5-day workweeks. Vacation leave credits in the USA are more generous. In the Philippines, a worker gets entitled to VL only after finishing probation, and only gets pro-rata credits thereafter. Big companies add leave credits to employees who have chalked up a 5-year tenure, adding an extra day a week for every year at work. Thus, where I used to work, I had 15 days annual vacation leave after working for 8 years. But if we add all the holidays and the special non-working holidays decreed by the government, we might just be even with our US counterparts !
2 :
The main difference is that in the US you work and in the Philippines you dont.
3 :
Depends on who you work for. Anything over 40 hours is overtime but some manage to avoid that. You have to work steady if not hard. Safety is a big factor. Some give vacation some don't . It isn't the law that you do. The pay is the biggest difference. You are by law paid at least minimum wage but people who work for it will make more. Qualified people start out much higher. There are incentives like commissions to get you to work better and earn more. It's the pay system that keeps the Pinoy from advancing.
4 :
Work is the same anywhere in the world. It takes so much force to move a certain weight from point X to point Y. Wages and benefits vary from place to place, from employer to employer. There might be employers who adjust their work clock 20 minutes in the evening*, and then adjust is to be late 30 minutes in the closing hours. One cannot question that that clock is wrong. If you do get it in your head to rectify the clock, it is in violation of company policy to exploit the labour force as much as possible. * evening - this should be "morning", rather. To enable them to deduct something from wages, for being "late".
5 :
Generally the same. Although hiring & selection is not the same & in the Philippines there are lot of holidays (with pay) & there are mid-year, 13th month bonus pay, which obviously you did not work but get paid for (some even have14th month, 15th month, nth month as well as a Christmas bonus)--which I all miss....

Would a laptop from the Philippines work in the U.K
Would a laptop from the Philippines work in the U.K?
My father is going to sent a laptop over with my brother for college work etc, but it MUST be wireless and I MUST be able to play DVDs and CDs etc on it, like will it be 100% suitable for use over here in the U.K? I'm doing college work so I need to be able to access online and emails. I also need to be able to play revision CDs on it, and be able to watch DVDs on it that will be helpful to my course. Its for college so iTunes and MSN Messenger aren't needed. Also, I have only ever had Windows, will a laptop from the Philippines have Windows, or some other operating system? Could it play copies, or can no laptop play copies, I've never had one, just stuck to computers.

Yes, the only differences between the Phillipines laptop and a UK laptop are: 1) Power plug is different shape, but you can buy a plug adaptor (no converter needed, the power supply can adjust to the voltage itself) 2) Might have Philipino-language Windows installed. You can just change this back to English in the language settings.
2 :
Yes. The laptop would work absolutely fine. But you might need a universal power plug to connect your laptop charger to electricity. This you can buy at any electricity shop. The only thing you might need to do (though even without that you would be able to do all your work), is to change Region and Language Setting. But that is very easy to do. :)

Laptop from Philippines are actually working anywhere in the world. :D Laptop from Philippines has a complete Operating system and softwares. It has wireless card for internet. The best way is to ask your father about the specs of a laptop that he is going to send.

Here is what you should know. T-mobile is a GSM network, so it should work internationally, of course if it has the right connection megahertz. Now the good news for you is that Japan and Philippines are both gsm networks. The bad news is that the sidekick 3 is not a international phone. It may work because it supports the 1800mhz, but you may left in the dark if you switch to a 900mhz band because the sidekick doesn't support that range (from the T-mobile website in US).

1 :
on the navy base it would they sell converters send one with it just for safety
2 :
Yes it is. They just need a transformer to step down the voltage to 120 since Philippine have a diff. electrical voltage
3 :
Best thing to do is see if the TV you want to buy has a built in power converter. Some can handle both 110 volts (US power) and 220 volts i think is pretty much all over seas. If it does support both voltage then you will just need to get a Plug Adapter because our wall plugs are different .. If it only supports 110 then you will need to get a power converter that will convert the 220 down to 110. Power converters only cost about 20$ I would go with a converter so in case you ever send her something else electronic she will already have a converter and be good to go :) Good Luck :)
4 :
In the past, electronic products "voltages" differs from countries and standards ( US, Europe, Asia, etc..). The newer products now, are usually "auto volts" . This way manufacturers can send their products anywhere in the world without worrying about the countries voltage. You can check your TV's specs at the back of the unit if it says Voltage 100V to 240 Volts , then your good to go. As to the frequency, most units also have multiple region and use. Just the same the Phils also uses US standard TV broadcasting so not a problem there.

It will work, but too many complications. Better buy one in the Philippines. The electrical requirements are exactly what is needed in the country. And besides, repair will be easier. The guarrantee exists and can be reparied locally, for free within the time limit. If you bring one from the States - it will another story. Buy one in the Philippines! You can avoid the hurdle of transporting and paying additional expenses.

Most definitely yes!
7 :
It will. Some newer models are dual voltage. Otherwise, a converter, or voltage regulator with a 110 socket included, would work.
8 :
of course it will. but you gotta be careful on the Shipment of the TV. and be sure to buy a TV that can be Plugged on either 110V-220V so your wife won't be needing to plug it on a Power Transformer. good luck!
9 :
You need to allow for 100 percent customs duty on the TV. If an item is shipped by Fed Ex or UPS and insured, then the customs price will be the amount of the insurance amount. Customs duty must be paid before item can be picked up. I was going to ship only 5 pounds of stuff from the USA to the Philippines via Fed Ex. The price was $ 240.00. I decided not to ship it. Have you priced the shipping of the TV? Many packages shipped via regular mail from the USA to the Philippines never arrive. They are correct about the voltage converters. Voltage converters are available in every hardware store, here in the Philippines. Philippines is 220 volts 60 cycle, convert to 110 volts. I would recommend sending cash via Moneygram and have her buy a local TV.

everyone is correct the voltage is different and you may need a transformer but it would be better to buy one there no shipping costs ,easier to repair and way cheaper , you can get a real nice set there than you were planning to get overseas wth shipping
Could you help know what it wi take if it will not

on the navy base it would they sell converters send one with it just for safety
2 :
Yes it is. They just need a transformer to step down the voltage to 120 since Philippine have a diff. electrical voltage
3 :
Best thing to do is see if the TV you want to buy has a built in power converter. Some can handle both 110 volts (US power) and 220 volts i think is pretty much all over seas. If it does support both voltage then you will just need to get a Plug Adapter because our wall plugs are different .. If it only supports 110 then you will need to get a power converter that will convert the 220 down to 110. Power converters only cost about 20$ I would go with a converter so in case you ever send her something else electronic she will already have a converter and be good to go :) Good Luck :)
4 :
In the past, electronic products "voltages" differs from countries and standards ( US, Europe, Asia, etc..). The newer products now, are usually "auto volts" . This way manufacturers can send their products anywhere in the world without worrying about the countries voltage. You can check your TV's specs at the back of the unit if it says Voltage 100V to 240 Volts , then your good to go. As to the frequency, most units also have multiple region and use. Just the same the Phils also uses US standard TV broadcasting so not a problem there.

Will US PS3 work in Philippines
Will US PS3 work in Philippines?
I am thinking to buy a PlayStation 3 and bring it back to the Philippines. Based on my readings the problem when I do this is with the blu-ray. I believe there is a thing that you call region locked? Does PS3 region locked as well? I wanted to buy a PS3 here rather than buy in the Philippines - it is much cheaper to buy here in US. Can you tell me more about the pros and cons when buying a PS3 and bringing it back to the Philippines?

Yup. You can set languages and stuff. :) There is no pros or cons, its like buying a ps3 from japan, there is no difference :D.
2 :
The first good news is that ps3 games are region-free. The potentially bad news is that blu-ray video discs are region-coded, except for the really good news that the Philippines and the US are in the same region, region A. I am not so sure about DVD regions. You may be out of luck with those because there are a lot more of them and I'm pretty sure north America has its own exclusive region. The Philippines is NTSC though, I think. Places where the US military has camped out in the past usually are NTSC. Except in Europe. If you get a backward compatible ps3 in the US, it will only work with ntsc U/C (US and Canada) ps2 games and US region dvd's (region 0 if I remember right) but you'll be fine for the ps3 games, and for blu-ray videos, and for using the ps3 on a standard def Filipino TV.

my husband is a foreigner and he would like to work here providing that the income will be the same as he earn abroad, but sadly there is no job opportunity that offers the same amount he is earning.

Philippine Airline sometimes has cheaper airfare compared to their peers as the service is not as good. If you are all leaving from the same city, then maybe the airline will give you a group rate depending the number of people flying. You can try a travel agency as well. Whenever I fly into Asia, I go through an Asian travel agency because they can get a good deal on tickets.

If Verizon has a 'paired' network in the Philippines then it'll work. All you need to do is to ask Verizon to have it on 'roaming' (normally if you are on PAYG or Prepaid, then it wont be on roaming). Then, after getting it on roaming you can go to the Philippines and you'd be paired with Verizon's paired network (Smart Wireless, Globe Telecom, Sun Cellular or Red Mobile). Just make sure you're prepared to pay the price cause roaming is pretty expensive! To know more, contact your Network Service (Verizon, is it?).

Why expose youself to scrutiny. In the Philippines, mental health is taken lightly. If you could pretend and act as normal, never divulge your weaknesses. Just control your mind and action like a normal person. and you will be all right.

i am not sure but..... verizon and vodafone are partners so if it dosen't have varizon than can have vodafone .....dont know really..well but this is something to think about.
2 :
If Verizon has a 'paired' network in the Philippines then it'll work. All you need to do is to ask Verizon to have it on 'roaming' (normally if you are on PAYG or Prepaid, then it wont be on roaming). Then, after getting it on roaming you can go to the Philippines and you'd be paired with Verizon's paired network (Smart Wireless, Globe Telecom, Sun Cellular or Red Mobile). Just make sure you're prepared to pay the price cause roaming is pretty expensive! To know more, contact your Network Service (Verizon, is it?).

sure u can, np, u can drive tricycle, or jeepney, but even that is kind of rough, why do you think so many filipinos are working abroad, they don't make much, but anything they make is much more than they would at home, why do you think all of those girls go to places like singapore, hong kong, the middle east, and all of those other third world dung holes where they work, they work as yaya, domestic helper, bargirls,nurses, entertainers(japan-japayuki) they are all over the world, why you would want to work in the phils is beyond me, unless you are white collar, and they may pay u in US$, otherwise u are on the local pay scale. good luck, better reserve your seat at the nearest sari-sari store and join your barkada as standby there, waiting for the next sucker to give you some pesos to buy a bottle of beer or ESQ, or ginebra san miguel. have fun

For example, if you purchase an Xbox 360 console in North America, you cannot play game discs that are sold in Europe or in Asia on that console. An Xbox 360 console that is sold in Europe can only play game discs that are sold in Europe. And an Xbox 360 console that is sold in Asia can only play game discs that are sold in Asia. You cannot modify an Xbox 360 console from one region to play discs or to play Marketplace content that was produced for a different region. Determine whether the game disc is from the same region as the region where you purchased the Xbox console. To determine the region, view the back of the game package.

"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.

there is so much unemployment in the philippines , much less than in the united states, why go there and work, just visit the country and enjoy the place as a tourist and help the economy and don't take away jobs from those who really needed it.

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.

Hi there, I work for Virgin Mobile and thought I could help out. Virgin Mobile runs off of Sprint's Nationwide network in the US. That means you can make calls internationally from the US with your Virgin Mobile phone, but you cannot use it outside of the US where there are no Sprint towers. Here's some more information about the International Long Distance rates with Virgin Mobile: http://www.virginmobileusa.com/cell-phone-plans/international-phone-plans-rates.html. I hope this helps!

Just because there’s a rumor of a CDMA iPhone, everyone automatically assumes that it’s going to Verizon, as if Verizon has the only CDMA network in the world. Well, news flash- Sprint uses CDMA too, and so do over 40 other countries in the world. Verizon didnt want it when Apple came to them first back in 2006 and they dont want it now. Why would they, when any Android phone crushes the iDont any day of the week, and Android is already selling more phones than Apple anyways?? Plus, ATT knows that without the iPhone, they have nothing, so they will pay Apple as much as they want in order to keep it. Why would you ever want such a horrible phone? 2. A CDMA phone cannot be unlocked, only flashed, so you would have to find a provider in the Philippines that can flash it to their service

You need a visa that allows you to work. This is nearly impossible to get. If you're married to a Filipino you can get a permanent resident card which will allow you to work...assuming you can find a job which millions upon millions of Filipinos can't.

Bring a converter. They use 220 Voltage in P.I.

yup! you may need to bring an adaptor or converter because in the Philippines we use 220 voltage. Better be sure. ^_^ way to go!
3 :
Check your electronics to see if they will work on 220 volts -some do some do not. Wait until you get here as there are many many converters for sale. Welcome to the Philippines.

Depends where you are coming from, you might need a plug adaptor or a voltage converter. But I can describe what they have in the Philippines so you can compare. What they commonly use over there is I believe called type A, commonly used in the US, two prong some with & some without the ground. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Weltkarte_verwendeter_Netzsteckertypen.svg And the voltage is 220, 60 something hertz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Weltkarte_der_Netzspannungen_und_Netzfrequenzen.svg
