Ever wonder why so many business owners hire in the Philippines—even when they’ve never been there? 🤔 Most people think “third world country” and picture instability, low skills, and chaos. But that’s not what I’ve seen over the last 18+ years of working with Filipinos. The truth is, the Philippines is nothing like what most outsiders assume.

It’s an emerging economy with millions of educated, talented workers who want stable, long-term jobs. The government is backing outsourcing, the middle class is growing fast, and for entrepreneurs like you, it’s one of the easiest ways to build a real team without breaking the bank.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

📊 Why “third world” doesn’t describe the Philippines anymore — and what the country actually looks like today.

🎓 How their school system builds serious talent (most workers you’ll meet have degrees).

💵 The real numbers behind Filipino wages — and why those rates work for everyone.

🌴 How outsourcing supports entire families who’d otherwise have to leave home just to find work.

📈 Why all of this makes hiring here one of the easiest ways to grow your business fast.

The Philippines isn’t just “cheap help.” It’s a country where you can find loyal, educated, long-term team members who make your business (and your life) way easier. If you’ve been holding back because of old stereotypes, you might be holding your business back, too.

VAs in the Philippines love tools. And there are tons of tools out there—but which ones actually work?

I’ve been working with Filipino VAs for almost 20 years. Over that time, I’ve tested just about every tool available—some stuck, most didn’t. The ones that stuck? They’ve made my VAs way more productive and made my life easier. And today, I’m breaking down exactly what we use—and why.

If you’re wondering where to start—and which tools will actually make your VAs more productive without overwhelming them—here’s what I cover:

👥 Communication & training tools that make daily conversations simple. The right tools let your VAs message, meet, and stay connected in ways they’re already super familiar with.

📋 Project management tools that make it easy to assign work, track tasks, give feedback, and make sure everything’s getting done on time, on budget, and on spec.

🤝 File sharing & collaboration tools that make it easy for your team to work on the same files, check each other’s work, and always know they’ve got the latest version.

🎥 Screen recording & feedback tools that simplify training. Trying to type out instructions is hard. Showing your screen eliminates confusion and helps everything stick.

🛠 Bonus tools that help your VAs check their work, improve their writing, get past writer’s block, and create better content for your business.

And if you’re overwhelmed by how many options there are? Don’t worry—I’ll tell you exactly where to start. By the time we’re done, you’ll know exactly how to set your Filipino VA up for success.

You can Google “why hire from the Philippines” and get a bunch of random opinions. That’s not what this is.

I’ve been outsourcing since 2005—back when there was nothing out there about outsourcing. No guides, no YouTube experts, no frameworks. Just trial and error.

I’ve hired from India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico… you name it. And it’s not about cheap. It’s about what actually works—better than anything else I’ve tried.

This isn’t a recycled “Top 9” list. This is 20 years of hiring wins, mistakes, breakthroughs—plus thousands of other business owners who figured it out too: Filipino VAs are just different.

So why do I keep going back to the Philippines—again and again?

🗣️ They speak fluent American English—so communication’s never an issue

🌍 Cultural compatibility makes the working relationship feel natural

💸 It’s affordable without sacrificing talent—$4 to $12/hr for top-tier work

🧠 You get a deep, diverse talent pool—from data entry to design to devs

🤝 Filipinos are loyal and honest—they stick with you, and they tell the truth

💪 They’re hardworking and resilient—they show up and bounce back

🛡️ They’re not trying to steal your business—they just want stable jobs

⏰ Time zone difference? Actually a productivity advantage

🚀 It’s ridiculously easy to hire—no agencies, no red tape, just results

By the end of this episode, you’ll stop thinking, “Can I really hire from the Philippines?” and start asking, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
