It seems like your best bet is to move to Cebu or Metro Manila and get a job in BPO. You can start around 40,000 PHP a month pretty easily (30,000 very easily) from what I see on Jobstreet and when I go to hire. Competition for devs is fierce in the city between the different ROHQ's and BPO companies. Actually we're (ROHQ) trying to hire a junior .NET dev in Makati city, here's the link if you want to apply: http://jobs.jobstreet.com/ph/jobs/5088558?fr=21&src=12 http://jobs.jobstreet.com/ph/jobs/5088558?fr=21&src=12 If you'd rather contract and work remote, best of luck to you! I have no idea what that market is like. If you're not in the city, it seems like your internet's not going to be stable enough for reliable work, and if you are, maybe it's easier to brave the traffic as you get your feet under you career-wise.
