The job of being a financial advisor in the Philippines is quite different from other advanced countries. In other countries, financial advisors are paid consultancy fees for giving money advise. For example giving advise which among the financial products is best for the client.
In the Philippines however, financial advisors earn through commissions for selling products since most Filipinos will not pay for consultancy fees for financial advise given to them. At least for the coming years we will see this kind of compensation for financial advisors in the Philippines to be commission based and not consultancy fees.
