Work Flexibility and independence, these are the words we often hear from freelancers. This non-standard work arrangement has stolen the hearts of many laborers all around the world. With that, many Filipinos enter the industry, however, the Philippine government seems to lack support for this particular work force. That is why this study aims to analyze and study the stability and efficiency of the freelance industry in the Philippines to be able to know if Filipino freelancers can pursue their freelancing career without being in danger.
