Another thing to keep in mind, the current Filipino government loves to make "long weekends"--ie., a holiday falls on a thursday... so friday is declared a 'special holiday.' So this might piss off a lot of clients. Webmasterlabor.com absorb all these costs and don't pass them to the client and we only give people days off for key international holidays not local ones. Although we are then legally obligated to pay 100% or 30% more as a bonus for those days (% depends on whether its a formal holiday or special holiday), we don't pass these costs on to the client.
Also, people who work from home (webmasterlabor.com is based in a centralized office location--we don't do remote employees) can rightfully claim that their connection goes down because the infrastructure here (specially in the provinces or outlying areas of Manila) is very bad. Sometimes, all it takes is some hard rainfall and internet connection dies for hours. So, don't let these experiences give you the idea that ALL Filipinos are lazy. They're just like any other ethnic group in the world...with the same % distribution re work attitudes.
If anyone is concerned about productivity issues, definitely try my friend hahaha's company, iwebmasters.com (I'm assuming this is for adult projects) or other services that give you a CENTRALIZED management structure where the employee is at the work site. If anyone needs MAINSTREAM work on a monthly basis, we do it for a starting rate of $450 a month per person (160 hours and quota system).
