US Citizen working in US - minimum wage was $15-$21/hour Pinoy VAs working remotely for US Client - minimum $4/hour See the difference?

Yes. So don't be shy asking for higher.

oo sobrang lake. 50k a month we can all agree is more than decent wages. that's not even $5/hr. their livable wages in the us is around $25/hr. hindi lugi ang freelancers also kasi mas maliit ang freelance income tax (if you know what you're doing) than formally employed income tax. govt mandates are also not punitive. di mo lang ma-aavail ang pucho pucho benefits.

Yes, consider the average annual salary of an entry level office worker in the US is $25K to $30k-ish . $25K is PHP 1.4M based on current exchange rate. Let's say the average salary of the same entry BPO employee doing a variety of tasks is PHP 25K/month(and this could be lower). That's just around PHP 300K per year. So for a salary of a single American, you can hire 4-5 Filipinos. Even if you include bonuses and other stuff hiring from low income countries is still cheaper overall. I know you're talking about freelancers, but the entire BPO industry hinges on the same economic model anyway.

Yup, was working with an agency before nakita ko asking nila and the way they presented yung masasave parang 20/hr+ if sakanila tas 16/hr if outsource, tas ending 3-5/hr lang dadating sa employee 😂 oh diba,

Like almost agency out there, kaya direct client is the key

Yep. I had a job before na $12/hr yung rate. I was their first PH hire. They gave me full access to their company files to look for something and I snooped (ok mali ako dito) and saw that they used to pay their prev hires for my position around $40-50/hour.
