I know a few local friends whose salary is around 14000 pesos, equivalent to 2000 RMB, so your salary here is super high.
There are many people who want to go to the Philippines during this time, but there are also many people who are worried about security. After all, they don't want to make money and have no chance to spend it. The first time I heard the reaction from the Philippines, it was chaotic and unsafe. To sum up, the southern Philippines is a bit chaotic. Islamic radicals appear when they have nothing to do. Just like the Tibet Corner in China, if the religious belief is different from that of the majority, there will be conflicts.
Let me talk about the common personal safety problems here. Most of the company office buildings here have security guards, which are more professional and stricter than those in China. You must have a private work permit to enter and leave the building, otherwise you are not allowed to enter, and there will be security equipment scanning. Your place of work is safe. There are special business cars to pick up and drop off work, and most of the dormitories are hotel-style apartments, which are safe enough. Generally speaking, the more prosperous the public security here, the better, and the poorer the place, the worse. Just don't go to a deserted place alone at night to avoid being robbed. It is safe to go to work at ordinary times, and occasionally go out to play with friends during holidays, but don't go to that kind of backcountry.
Some people may wonder, will the salary be paid? Will the company find some reasons to deduct the salary, and finally the salary you mentioned will not be sent to me. Not in line with reality. There is really no need to worry about this. This industry itself is a profiteering industry, and it depends on employees to make money. Will not lose big prospects because of a little profit. Now is the Internet age. If you don't pay on time or less, the whole world will know. Who else goes to work? No one can make money, and the boss has long-term plans and will not lose a lot for small interests.
About the passport,
1. The company paid your visa ticket, and you stayed at the company for one night without pressing your passport. Who will bear the cost of this visa ticket?
2. Later, the company will handle other related matters for you without pressing your passport. Every time we deal with one thing, everyone in the company runs it once, which is time-consuming and laborious and inefficient.
The company has a deposit and withdrawal position, which involves tens of thousands of funds every day. Who will the company go to if it is secretly transferred casually?
As for withholding money, new employees come to the company to sign a one-year contract. If you leave your job within one year, the visa and air ticket fees will definitely be deducted, because you originally signed a one-year contract, and leaving your job early is a breach of contract.
About what is caught, it should be cleaned up once a year. If there is no permit issued by the government, employees who have not applied for a work visa will be repatriated. Therefore, when looking for a job, we should pay attention to the fact that the company should be formal and safe.
Some people think that pressing your passport is restricting your freedom of life as soon as they hear about it. No, because your visa to the Philippines is guaranteed by the company, and you will be given a temporary work visa when you arrive at the company. These are all expenses. Without a manager, the company will not become a big head.
Someone asked me what to do if I left my passport at the company. In fact, in the Philippines, ID is equivalent to your certificate. Just fly, stay in a hotel and use your ID card.
Having summed up so much, you can trust me privately if you have any questions.
