Salary or money may not be the only thing one looks for in a job, but it surely is one of the most important factors considered before accepting a job. So which position and work industries in the Philippines pay the highest?
Online recruitment site Jobstreet.com shared last year their list of the Top 10 Highest Paying Jobs In The Philippines. The list was determined by identifying the “average salary of all specializations per position level, based on salaries posted by employers” on the website during the first quarter of 2013.
Take note that the figures below are mere medians or averages, which means actual salaries in a particular industry may surely be higher or lower than the ones mentioned.
The list also considers only job vacancies posted by employers on the Jobstreet site, so it may not necessarily be exhaustive or 100% accurate. Nevertheless, it could give us an insight as to what the potentially lucrative jobs and functions are in the Philippines.
Here is Jobstreet.com’s list of the Top 10 Highest Paying Jobs in the Philippines based on number of years of work experience and/or managerial position. Take note that the salaries mentioned merely consider “basic salary” and do not include other forms of compensation such as leave credits, medical benefits, insurance, and incentives.
Do you agree with the list below?

good information on Jobs with Highest Salaries in the Philippines
Mas magandang mag join ka nalang dito sa popular communty, Kung nagbigay ka dito ang pwede mo naman hingiin sa community is 30% na binigay mo kasama rin ung binigay mo, so meaning 30% monthly ang pwede mo hingiin 🙂 Kesa naman sa bank Deposit na napakaliit!
Sa Community na ito ang goal dito ay sirain ang financial system na nakasanayan na tulad sa bangko na napakaliit ng binibigay sa mga depositors!
Let me give a example kung paano pinapatakbo/kumikita ang bank using thin Air. Sabihin na natin na si Mr. Janson ang Bangko. at si Mike at Angelica ang Depsoitors. Ngayon Si Mike ay may nagustuhan na bike worth 2000 Pesos at ang bike shop na iyon ay kay Angelica. Ngayon si Mike ay may 200 pesos lang sa kanyang bulsa at sinabi nya kay angelica na pauna nya muna ung 200 pesos wag nya lang ibenta sa iba at nag OO naman si Angelica. At Si Angelica ay pupunta sya sa Bank para mag deposit ng 200 pesos para sa savings nya. Ngayon naman si Mike ay nag-iisip kung saan sya kukuha ng 1,800 pesos para mabili at makuha na nya ung bike na gustong gusto nya at ang naiisip nya ay pupunta sya kay Mr. Janson “the bank” at hihiram sya ng pera na 1,800 pesos pero sabi ni Mr. Janson ay 200 pesos lang muna ang pwede nya ipahiram then after 3 days balik ka dito. Ok so nakahiram si Mike ng 200 pesos at agad naman nya na ibinayad kay Angelica. at si Angelica deniposit ulit nya sa banko nya ung 200 pesos then after 3 days ulit pumunta ulit si Mike sa bangko at binigyan nanaman sya ni Mr. Janson ng 200 pesos. Hanggang mabuo nya ang 1,800 pesos. The same Scenario lang ang mangyayari. So ngayon nabili na ni Mike ang pinaka-gugusto nyang bike na worth 2000 pesos pero naka utang sya kay Mr. Janson “the Bank” at si Angelica naman ay kumita na ng 2000 Pesos na halaga ng bike. So sino ang tuwang tuwa ngayon syempre lahat sila kasi nabili ni Mike ung gusto nya, si Angelica naman nabenta nya ung tinda nyang bike at si Mr Janson “the Bank”. Pero sa katunayan si Mr. Janson ang pinaka natuwa kasi kumita sya ng pera using Thin Air! So meaning kumita sya ng walang nilabas na pera! Dahil nagkautang si Mike ng 1,800 pesos plus interest pa sa kanya kung kailan nya babayaran. So makikita nyu na ang bangko ang lalong yumayaman hindi ang depositors dahil ginagamit ang pera nyu para sa ikakayaman pa nila lalo!
Kaya sa mga gustong masubukan ang “Power Of Giving” Kung tumulong ka, ikaw ay tutulungan rin. Dito sa Financial Community ikaw makaka-hingi ng 30% monthly sa binigay mong pera malayong malayo sa Time Deposit.
Ok I will give an Example. Let say you provide help an amount 100,000 pesos in 1 month you can get help an amount of 130,000 pesos. Full principal back. Mahirap man paniwalaan pero kung d mo susubukan hindi mo malalaman. BUT THIS IS NOT A HYIP!
This is a community of ordinary people, selflessly helping each other, a kind of the Global Fund of mutual aid. This is the first sprout of something new in the modern soulless and ruthless world of greed and hard cash. The goal here is not the money. The goal is to destroy the world’s unjust financial system.
Minimum Provide Help: 200 pesos
Maximum Provide Help: 400,000 pesos

Hi there, I read through a few of your articles here.
I did have a question though that I hope you could answer.
I was wondering, What happens when a police officer shoots someone in the line of duty?
I’m pursuing a career in law enforcement and it’s something I’ve always worried about.
I would really appreciate any help you could give me!
