No. it is very difficult. The Philippines has a lot of universities that produce very good accountants. There are a lot of back office jobs (Citi and Deutsche KS), but you would not get a work visa. A standard uni grad working for SGV (E&Y affiliate) will only make P15k聽 per month starting.

Thanks for your advice .Is there any possibility of getting a work visa in other jobs like computers or any other office jobs ?Can i try for a tourist visa and then find a job myself out there as i have some known filipinos out there who can help me and later can transfer my tourist visa into a working visa if i gets a job ?Is it possible ?

Highly unlikely to come over as a tourist and transfer. Maybe if you know some Indian companies in Philippines who would hire you while in India.

Have to ask yourself why you think you have better accounting skills than local Philippinos. Drs and Crs are the same and as I mentioned above, there are good schools here. I work with a lot and they are as good as any I have worked with in every other country I have worked in, including India (I worked in Hyderabad for a year).
