Many Filipinos are becoming aware of the internet as an additional source of income, especially for service providers such as writers, virtual assistants, and designers. I hope the trend continues because it's much cheaper and more practical than being an OFW.

That makes perfect sense, especially if you take into account any incurred savings from the company's medical plans. On the same vein, if there are many benefits that you don't take advantage of or that aren't really worth it, then you're really getting almost nothing. But three are also non-tangible benefits such as time (from paid leaves), which you can use to create tangible benefits for yourself. I have friend who started her internet business during a paid leave, and when she was earning enough for that she left her regular job. Benefits like that can be more practical or useful than they seem if we're creative enough. >Am I making sense?

They always say that because of their employment package, it is okay for new hires to take a pay-cut, which I believe is crazy. Personally, I would quantify everything by listing down the amount of cash that I can really take home. Benefits are okay as long as they are tangible benefits. Am I making sense?
