No. As retiree you have your own set of privileges however you can apply for a work permit at the Bureau of Immigration. You will have to prove with the assistance of your employer that your skill is unique and cannot or has not been filled by a Filipino. It would be best if you get an experienced lawyer familiar with the bureau so as to navigate the very cumbersome system with a lot of red tape.
