About Manila
Manila is a bayside metropolis of historic districts, business centres, ports and varied neighbourhoods spread across the National Capital Region. English is widely used in professional life, alongside Filipino and other Philippine languages.
Traffic, flooding and tropical weather make commuting and office location especially important. A “Manila” role may be based in Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Quezon City or the City of Manila, with different daily routines and housing options.
The UN Resident Coordinator system and agencies work across Metro Manila, while ADB headquarters is in Mandaluyong. Together they create a mix of country-programme, regional, development-finance and operational roles tied to resilience, inclusion, growth and public-sector partnership.

Working in Manila
Manila combines UN country-team work and Asian Development Bank headquarters roles. UN Philippines reports 28 entities operating in the country, with offices across Metro Manila and programmes nationwide. ADB in Mandaluyong is a separate regional employer serving Asia and the Pacific. The duty-station label does not describe one office, mandate or employment system.
Use the legal employer in the vacancy. UN agencies, the Resident Coordinator system and ADB use separate portals, grades and appointment rules. A role may be internationally or locally recruited, consultancy, internship or project-based; eligibility, benefits and relocation depend on the notice and employer. Strong applications address Philippine priorities: resilience, climate action, inclusion, decent work, governance or peace, and show credible experience with government, communities, civil society and regional partners.
Why Manila
Regional development finance hub
Join ADB headquarters teams financing infrastructure, climate action and inclusive growth across Asia.
Disaster resilience in context
Translate climate, disaster-risk and humanitarian expertise into policy partnerships and programme delivery.
Inter-agency country collaboration in practice
Work with government, civil society and communities through a broad UN presence.
Manila UN Hardship Classification
Manila is classified A under the UN mobility and hardship framework, the least difficult field classification. No hardship allowance is payable for internationally recruited staff.
View UN hardship guideHow to apply for jobs in Manila
Manila covers a metropolitan, multi-employer market rather than one UN office. Identify the legal employer, exact metro location and appointment category, then follow its portal, documents, language and assessment requirements.
1Map the Manila-area employer
Use Manila jobs on IGO Jobs to compare the employer, function, contract and deadline. Establish whether the office is in Manila, Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig or elsewhere in Metro Manila, and whether it serves a country, regional or headquarters mandate.
2Open the official recruitment system
Select Apply now on IGO Jobs to reach the corresponding official notice. UN agencies use their own careers systems, while ADB receives vacancy applications through its ADB Career and Employment System (ACES). Create an account only with the employer named in the posting.
3Confirm the appointment route
Read whether the role is international, national or locally recruited, consultancy, internship, project-based or another arrangement. Follow stated eligibility and work-status requirements literally. Do not assume that a Manila posting includes relocation, entry support or benefits available under another employer’s appointment.
4Evidence the Philippines and Asia mandate
Tailor results to the office’s actual work: development finance, disaster resilience, climate action, health, food systems, migration, decent work, governance, peace or operations. Show credible collaboration with public institutions, communities, civil society, private-sector or regional partners.
5Submit and prepare for assessment
Complete all employer-specific fields before the stated deadline and retain the confirmation. Prepare for the announced written, technical or competency-based stage. If selected, confirm the exact reporting location, appointment, benefits, work-status process and relocation terms before making commitments.

Manila Career FAQs
Which organizations recruit in Manila?
UN Philippines reports 28 entities operating in the country, including agencies, funds and programmes with Manila-area offices. ADB headquarters is in Mandaluyong. The live hiring-organizations list shows active employers, but each notice identifies the legal employer, office and application route.
Is Manila one international-organization office district?
No. “Manila” can cover offices in Manila, Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig and other Metro Manila locations. Confirm the reporting location, expected attendance and travel requirements in the notice before judging the commute, housing options or whether the position matches your availability.
Do I need Filipino for a job in Manila?
English is widely used in development work, while Filipino is valuable for locally connected roles and partnerships. A post may also require another language or a specified level of English or Filipino. State proficiency accurately and treat the vacancy’s language fields as authoritative.
Are all Manila vacancies internationally recruited?
No. UN agencies, ADB and other employers use international, national or locally recruited, consultancy, internship and project arrangements. Eligibility, pay, benefits and relocation are set by the employer and appointment type, not by the Manila duty-station label.
Is there one application portal for Manila organizations?
No. UN Secretariat vacancies normally use UN Careers, while agencies maintain their own systems. ADB receives vacancy applications through its ADB Career and Employment System (ACES). Open the official link for each notice; an account with one employer does not transfer to another.
Does a Manila job automatically include relocation or work-status support?
Do not assume it does. International appointments may include entry, relocation or benefits support; nationally recruited, consultancy and other roles can have different requirements. Confirm stated work-status and relocation terms with the employer before travel or housing commitments.
