Filipino construction pros earn less than average

Salaries for Filipinos
Good Companies(Big or small)if they have International Standard then they should have equal oppurtunity for any Races.In my company we Filipinos(Professional Architects/Engineers with Registered Licensed)are the one doing the work excellent compared to other race but we are also the one below the average salary.

Why Salaries are Low
Although color maybe a factor in the salaries given to Filipinos (or any other colored Asian), there are some other factors that contribute to the lower salary for Asian than the 'white' counterpart. Hard to say this but: 1) Law of Supply and Demand - If one Filipino/Asian will not get the job (by insisting on a higher salary, another Filipino/asian will get the job). 2)Asia can not compare cost of living in Asia to that of the West; for example, it is sufficient to spend US$2000 for one year tuition fee for one year in college, but this is not enough in UK). 3) Asians 'allow' themselves to be 'manipulated'. If we ALL do not accept low salary package, then there will be no complaints. 4) Wrong mentality among companies that white people deserve higher pay as compared to Asians.

Not only on skin color and country deemed third world, but we're just not fond of chit-chats with white counterparts when there are works to be done. that exploits us a lot.

Salaries of Filipinos in GCC
This is very true and it has been happening. It's a matter of skin colour and not a matter of competence in doing the job. A lot of Filipinos are coming here backed up with experience and yet if compared with young Brits who are "fresh from the box" who are only backed up with UK certificates and do not know what to do of the tasks laid on his desk are paid more.

I think Racial discrimination is still going on anywhere in GCC. Let's say a Filipino engineer and an Arab or Caucasian engineer, with same competence, technical skills and work ethics. I always see an Arab engineer gets a higher pay. But why? Is it only because of brown-colored skin?!

I agree also that our salaries is really below the average. It is unfair that we, Filipinos, are taking for granted while others are being treated like a king / queen. WE should have a union then. let's do "alay lakad para sa mga filipinos" so they may hear our side

I know if you dont like it go home and see what you earn there. The simple fact is that for every indian or filipino who knocks a job back there is 100 more who will accept it at the lower wage. Make complaints to your own government, because lets face it you wouldn't be in the GCC if there was work in your own country.

is it because our skin is brown, black or yellow. in keo qatar esp here in qatar foundation, we got a lot of skilled managers (welders, carpenters, etc) who are earning thrice as much as filipino and indian engineers. just because the color of their skin is diff. but we all know that in terms of ability, capacity and qualification we could go head to head with them. such a pity we live in this unfair world and nobody is doing anything to aliviate our conditions.

I earn way below that standard, working for a large company, handling projects design, management and execution. Where is the justice in that?

Filipino salaries
Since it's known that they are getting way below average, why don't they increase it then and be fair as they are doing the same work as the other nationalities who have the same designation.
