Foreigner Struggles to Find Employees in the Philippines
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- If the poverty level in Bohol is above 20%, is it really that hard to find someone to work with me? Is my mission too much to handle? Would I have to do this all alone? These were just some of the questions I had when I was looking for my first employee in a brand new country. In this episode I take you through the ups and the downs, of at least what my experience was, as a foreigner goes. There are times when the easiest solutions are right in front of us and all we need is for someone to point us in the right direction.
Thanks for all your support and catch you guys on the next Pursuit 🤙

Your videos are speaking to me. I’m moving my family to the Philippines soon and doubt creeps in at times. Your videos have been strengthening my faith. Thank you Jesus. Maybe our paths cross in the future and I maybe able to help in some ways. God Bless.
Your vision is very interesting and it really caught my curiosity and attention. How come this foreigner came up with this kind of courage and determination to pursue this things? I salute you Polin and admire you for that! How I wish I can do something in my own little way to help you reach and achieve your goal. Your the kind of person who should be supported by all means.
Naintindihan ko ang naramdaman mo..nakahiyaan ng mga locals na makipag communicate sayo dapat matoto kayo sa kanilang salita.. wag kayong mawalan ng pag asa. Good luck❤
They are very shy! But now we get along with many of the locals
@@pursuitofcoconuts specially in far flung areas Filipinos are very shy,..it takes time, dont lose hope, God is with you always🙏🙏
You have a good heart brother. One thing I learn. Take care of your people, and your people with take care of you. God Bless!
Amen to that! Blessings to you as well🙏
Good for you. You are blessed with a qualified and honest one, and local Filipino employees. Love your employees, respect them, and show concern to each and every one of them and their families. In return, we Filipinos give back the highest form of respect to our employer and value relationships rather than money. Thank you for embracing the Filipino culture. God Bless You, your family and your business. Watching from Kent, England.
Thanks Kent! Amen to that🙏 We all better than any one of us!
Hello friend. I'm one of ur follower. I'm sure I'll find pursuit of happiness. About hi ring, advertise, have their resume. If u want him or her, it's time to hire. Observe for two or three mos. Observe their attitude. Put them on probationary period. If u 'r satisfied of their work then that's it. W/o hesitation, u'll have a written contract about length of stay on their job. Ante
Great storytelling Polin and very inspiring 🙌
Aww… thank you for the kind word. It’s the amazing team in the background that has made it possible🫶🙏
thanks for the beautiful back story
Thanks for listening and watching. Trying to document each step of the way and be transparent about it 🤙
Been in business the last 25 yrs. the side of hiring/keeping/developing people is the hardest part of the business. All the best as you pursue your dreams.
You are definitely right but they can also be the biggest reward. Teamwork makes the dream work. What kind of business do you run?
@@pursuitofcoconuts I don’t hurt animals. 10 years vegan. I’m bigger and stronger and fitter on the plant based diet, and I don’t go to the gym. I’m not a killer. I don’t hurt the weak. I’m better than that. Proud ✅egan !! ✅❤️💪😬👱🏼♂️👩🏽🦍👍.
Wow, I really admire your storytelling! You're such a talented storyteller. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Appreciate the kind words. My team is amazing, they deserve the credit🫶
That first step is always hard. You are doing great.
Thank you! God’s blessed every step
Keep up the good work! Bonjour from France !🇫🇷
Bonjour and Mabuhay 🤙 Thanks for joining in on our pursuit from that side of the world🙏
I really loved your vlogs you are a blessing for others. Keep pursuing God bro!
I appreciate that! Definitely on the pursuit to God and His calling in my life🙏
Kabayan Godbless ❤
Thank you! God bless you as well🙏
you should extend your search to metro manila, a lot of people who are born and raised in Bohol migrated to Metro Manila for a job opportunity, also there are a lot of people from Metro Manila who are willing to move to Bohol because why not, good luck! congrats on your first employee!
Thanks so much. That is great advice. Bonyek has been a God sent and we are now over 12 people 💪
Open yourself and cautiously relate to locals. Explain your ideas visions.
Make a constant research resources marketing your produce so you can help the locals too.
Visayas Bohol. Asa ka dapit sa bohol? Tagbilaran? Agriculture business? What's the business plan?
You should start with a small veggie garden and a small sari sari store, and learn the culture while you build up.
That is a great start up plan! Our aquaponics is doing great now and we hope to bring products with support to the farmers🙏
You shouldn't lose hope, you will find the right person if you keep seeking.
We found the best person for the job!
@@pursuitofcoconuts that's good news man
Thanks so much, it’s definitely a game changer for me and I couldn’t do it with Bonyek.
very inspiring
Thank you! Blessing to you
Salute!
🤙🫡

Gabayan ka nang Dios sa mga mabuting hangarin mo sa iyong kapwa at ikaw ay magtatagumpay😊
Love your neighbor 🙏
Count me in. Lets purse our dreams!
The pursuit is strong 💪🤙
I'm interested in the vision, and I want to be a part of it! I can do online tasks; we have a stable internet connection here! My father owns a big coconut plantation in our area, and I want to immerse myself in the possibilities of this wonderful product.
Hello sir .. what's the job occupation..?? in time God always finds ways .. whats your fb account sir..
What is your father doing with his coconuts. I think you emailed me, we’ll be in touch 🤙
Thanks for the interest, we don’t have a current job opening but plan to continue to expand🙏
goodluck for finding good worker 🥶
Thanks! We’re doing great now🤙
*padayon lang*
Thanks! The pursuit continues👊🥥
Did found a employee in your farm that can help you in your business here in the Philippines sir.?
how I wish you were close to me in Agusan del Sur.. We do need jobs.. I believe we can arrange for English speaking employees 😊
wow..
Be careful who you chose to hire. Don’t trust too much and I know we want to be kind, but a foriegner investor is an easy target for them to take advantage of .
Thank you for looking out for me. I’ve been with Bonyek for months now and I have to say, he is trustworthy and a stand up dude! I’m very thankful
Alanse lng
@@pursuitofcoconuts I can see how they all are genuine and very real with you. Man , you got this ! Been binge watching your videos. Hope to see your gang out there when we go back to bohol. I want to partake on you guys vibe .
Can i apply too as your employee? What is the job description?
Thanks for the interest, our team is now strong and no current opening. Let’s pray we can continue to grow! Thanks for the support
Gooodluck and god bless

Not at the moment. Bonyek helped to bond with people here a lot which made it easier to find more people to work🤙

Cut your hair, dress well, have a good impression. So you can get an employer
Appreciate that, I hope people don’t judge on looks but action 😉
He is the EMPLOYER, he is the one looking for employees
Reverse Physchology 😂😂😂😂
THEY ARE NOT FOREIGNERS THE SAME FILIPINO, ONLY JUST BECOME CITIZENS IN UNITED STATE AND COME BACK AGAIN. FILIPINO CITIZENS IN STATE ARE JUST SECOND CITIZENS IN UNITED STATE.
