What the architect ads show
The middle half of architect ads in Metro Manila runs from ₱24,000 to ₱37,500, and it leans upward: the top quarter starts ₱10,000 above the median, the bottom quarter only ₱3,500 below it. Remote jobs for overseas clients (nationwide) pay more: their median of ₱78,545 is 2.9 times the Metro Manila local-employer median of ₱27,000. The mix of job boards changed from September, so this month's figure is not compared with the last.
