Interested in what it’s like to be a freelancer? We talked to four seasoned freelancers from the Philippines to share their story.
Chino Chow: Freelance Graphic Artist, 1 year.
As a radio DJ, freelance graphic artist, and audio transcriptionist, Chino is a multitasking millennials who, like most of us, spends a lot of his time online. The digital age enabled freelancers like Chino to harness the opportunities to earn online from clients all over the world. However, this posed a common problem among Filipinos: how to use earnings via freelancing, usually paid through PayPal credits, to pay bills, to shop in physical stores, or to be withdrawn as cash?
