A foreigner is not allowed to work in the Philippines. Even a fast food place requires you to have a 2 year college degree. The min wage here is P 466 ($11 US) per DAY.
So I say it is impossible for you to find a job here.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
