1. Doctor / Surgeon
Average salary: 166,000 PHP
Salary range: from 76,300 PHP - 264,000 PHP
Job description: Doctors and Surgeons provide general and specific health care to people from all walks of life. They
know how to diagnose, treat and cure the infirm, making their jobs some of the most sought-after.
Simply put, people in the medical profession are paid the highest because their specialized fields require the most
training and the most practice.
The higher you climb in medicine, the more risks, so you must be great.

2. Judge
Average salary: 139,000 PHP
Salary range: from 64, 100 PHP - 222,000 PHP
Job description: Judges make some of the most important decisions that affect individuals and society as a whole.
Their rulings, which they make based on extensive reading, researching, and experience, are incredibly important
and they bear the weight of all their actions. Also, you can't just leave law school and decide to become a judge --you
have to put in the work articling and clerking before you can rise to such a prestigious role. The compensation is
justifiably higher.

3. Lawyer
Average salary: 113,000 PHP
Salary range: from 51,900 PHP - 179,000 PHP
Job description: Whatever your feelings are about lawyers, they provide a necessary service to people in need. And
they are typically compensated based on how valuable they are to their clients -- the more serious the trouble people
find themselves in, the higher they'll pay to have a more experienced and knowledgeable attorney to represent them
in court. Even lawyers who specialize in reading wills, buying/selling a property, or putting together contracts are well-
paid because of the importance of the work involved.

4. Bank Manager
Average salary: 106,000 PHP
Salary range: from 48,800 PHP - 169,000 PHP
Job description: Any position that involves the handling of money is well-paid. Bank Managers are some of the most
in-demand and highly compensated in The Philippines for that very reason. These roles require a qualified and
dedicated candidate with a strong knowledge of investments and funds -- one who can also oversee the efficiency of
their entire organization while being in charge of millions, sometimes, billions of other people's hard-earned income.

5. Chief Executive Officer


Average salary: 99,500 PHP
Salary range: from 45,800 PHP - 158,000 PHP
Job description: These positions are as high as you can get in most companies. And they carry the most
responsibilities.
Because the job of the CEO is so important to the overall function of an organization, and because they absorb so
much of the risk, the compensation is typically the highest of anyone else on the payroll.
