AI-enabled jobs in the Philippines: an in-depth report

15% to 20% of the global digital workforce is experiencing meaningful job-related anxiety due to fears of being replaced by AI, and 65% to 71% have broad concerns. We believe this anxiety is a symptom of a noisy and constantly shifting landscape, rather than a fundamentally existential one (unless you're a junior or have zero AI-related experience, in which case: read on). So we decided to ask the following questions:

Which AI-related jobs are currently in demand in the Philippines (part 1)

What does retraining for those jobs look like (part 2)

Methodology

We scanned major Filipino job sites for AI-related roles, 3,489 listings in all, and analysed them to pick the signal from the noise. See the full methodology in the annexes.

Part 1: the demand - picking the signal from the noise

rule of thumb: ignore job titles when searching for an AI-enabled role, and look at the listed skills instead

Out of 1,107 job listings we found 983 unique job titles. Diving deeper we found that every listing has a fingerprint: canonical skill set, role category, centrality, industry.

We were able to use those fingerprints to unearth 24 job title archetypes. Go ahead and slide the demand and pay sliders to highlight the weighting of your choice. e.g. demand = 1 and pay = 1 means you're looking for a job in high demand that pays well. Ignore the skill slider for now, we'll return to it later.
