On yesterday’s episode, the AWLA team met with Charlie, a man from the Philippines who, despite having graduated in Management, came to Malta to work as a cleaner.

Charlie explains the process of having moved to Malta and how he views the opportunity as a stepping stone in his career.

He also revealed that he earns around €700 to €800 a month (excluding over-time), saying that back home he paid around €4,000 to make the necessary arrangements.

Saying that he was treated very well at his job, Charlie made the move from cleaner to carer and noted an obvious raise in pay.

He makes it a priority to send some of his money back home to his parents to help them eat and live better as he does in Malta. He says that despite the timezone difference he tries to contact them everyday via social media.
