In today’s globalized world, hiring remote employees from the Philippines seems like a no-brainer: lower labor costs, highly skilled professionals, and a strong work ethic.

But before you send out that offer letter to a promising Filipino virtual assistant (VA) or remote employee, there’s something critical you need to know: hiring Filipino workers directly is illegal unless you establish a legal entity in the Philippines.

Relying on unvetted platforms for hiring remote Philippine-based employees exposes businesses to cybersecurity, compliance, and performance risks.
