Highest Paying Jobs in the Philippines

You don’t need a high school diploma to earn millions. The thought sends chills down my spine. What a nation would we be if all our young people get the message.

But that may well be what our beloved lawmaker, the enigmatic Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago has arrived at after poignantly and at the same time elaborately cross-examining the PDAF Queen. In her interpellation of the surprisingly calm-voiced Janet Lim Napoles, with fire and brimstone. Good thing Napoles has a selective memory. And even with all the ‘heat’ flowing out of the feisty senator’s mouth, she still managed to duck and come out alive. Albeit, hospitalized days after.

With malice to none, it’s with great pride and honor that I bring the Top 10 highest-paying jobs in the country today. Prepare to be floored.

There you have it folks. Hope that run gave you some useful bits and pieces. Though I personally I find this list a little generic. Well, it’s near impossible to print names of companies, you know. Still, I hope you drop your 2 cents in the comments section below. Please do.

And if you feel like it, join us in our little dissemination campaign. Funny how people equate Filipinos as deeply-religious but not as spiritual. As Martin Luther used to say, “Even if I knew tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”
