What is the average wage of a public doctor in the Philippines?

Alright, let's break this down in a way that even a rubber duck floating in your bathtub would understand. In the Philippines, a public doctor's wage can vary quite a bit depending on their level of experience, specialization, and the region where they work. But on average, they earn somewhere around 20,000 to 35,000 Philippine Pesos (PHP) per month for entry-level positions. That's like earning enough to buy approximately 400 to 700 cups of street-vendor coffee every month! Not too shabby.
Now, for more experienced doctors or specialists working in public hospitals, their earnings can go up to around PHP 50,000 to PHP 75,000 per month. That's like being able to afford about 1000 to 1500 cups of that street-vendor coffee we talked about earlier! Now we're talking!
But hold your horses - or rather hold your stethoscopes - because these are just averages. Some doctors might earn more or less depending on various factors. And remember: while the money is important (especially when you crave for that coffee), most doctors also value the opportunity to help people and make a difference in their communities.
