I bet you could make 1000x as much by learning computer programming... I have worked for companies that hired Filipino programmers... I had a friend who moved to the Philippines for a few years and made $35/hour (US dollars) building websites while living in Cebu
So he got his education elsewhere and moved to the Philippines, correct? That's quite different from actually being born and raised here.
Sadly not all filipinos who are in this community does know how to do programming or do have the capability to learn programming as it is not for all.
Or don't have their own computers. I'm willing to bet 90% of Filipino posting on this forum is done through cell phones, tablets or internet cafe computers.
