Well, in short, the money is good. There are great tax breaks - who would turn down 15% tax and the companies provide houseing allowances. This is an opporutinty for some to save.
Its also an adventure. its vibrant in Manila, there seems to be a hubbub of activity. on the whole the people are friendly.
Makati itself and some of the surrounding areas are great for shopping. The malls here are bigger and better that the malls in the UK by FAR and there are 30 - 40 of them in the area alone. Try finding more thana a few OLD malls in the UK....
There are so many retaurants and the food is cheap. So combined with good salaries and cheaper food its a paradise - almost seems like a holiday.
You have to have a driver to get around - this kind of turns into a perk right? also Housekeepers are really cheap - the average sleep in maid salary being about £180 for a month. They dont even want Sundays off? Of course you should not take advantage as essentially they will do anything for a safe comfortable place to stay.
