Salary is the question everyone wants answered and nobody posts honestly. Here are rough monthly ranges in the Philippines. Treat them as starting points: company, location, and skills move these a lot.
Entry level
Fresh-grad IT support and helpdesk roles typically start around PHP 18,000 to 25,000 a month. It is the most common first job and the fastest way in.
A few years in
Network and systems administration usually lands around PHP 25,000 to 45,000 once you have real experience and a certification or two.
Specialized paths
Security, cloud, and data roles are where pay climbs fastest, often PHP 40,000 to 80,000 and higher. Remote work for foreign companies can pay well above local rates for the same skills.
The pattern is simple: the closer your work is to a specific, in-demand skill, the more you are paid. Certifications and a visible portfolio move you up faster than years alone.
