Many Filipino educators are trying their luck overseas since there are lots of job offer for teachers overseas, particularly in US. One of the many factors why most Filipino teachers are entice to work overseas are the attractive compensation package and benefits.

Added to that is the fact that teachers here are overworked but underpaid. A public school teacher only gets Php 9,939 to Php 16,792 a month. This is very different from salary offers for Filipino teachers in Maryland which is USD 3,623 or Php 181, 170 per month.
