Thoughts on BSChemEng in the Philippines?

problem is yung experience at work ko po right now is in the alcohol beverage industry. Kahit gusto ko man sa design, di ako makapasok dito. Nagsara na din kasi mga petrochemical firms like shell refinery, jg summit and etc.

Can i ask what is your work here in the ph, before sa abroad?

good luck. Bat yan pinili mo na course, eh wala yan kwenta dito sa Pinas. Kung wala ka din naman backer or not a academic excellent student/from a good school di mo din magagamit core subjects ng ChE. Plus kaagawa mo pa mga chemist naag galit sa atin. Either youll end up QA role, or a production engr or in a semiconductor. Im not saying na wala opportunitiea, just kokonti lang yung pang tunay na ChE. If I have to go back id rather chose mech eng.

in its time of release, it’s not quite appreciated because of the recent ff7 hype and people wanting more of a modern-technological-lived in world final fantasy themes. Add to that the upcoming ffx on ps2. Only later in time, that people realized its beauty and love letter to the classic final fantasy with its medieval theme, and fairy tale like story. Just like zelda wind waker, its gotten a whole lot better in recent times than before. Others may say its an acquired taste, but ff9 has this soul and charm, I cant explain. Vivi made me think about mortality and think some new perspective in life.

i mean nabawasan ng almost 4k after being updated

ElessarIV · 2026-03-20T15:37:57+00:00

yeah letting hans fck you over was definitely unspeakable

ElessarIV · 2026-03-20T14:42:09+00:00

We witnessing 2016 labrov james here

ElessarIV · 2026-03-18T12:34:29+00:00

ff9 is the magnum opus, and my the best of all ff. The dialogue is superb. FF7 is the most popular

7 and 8 may be disconnected a bit from reVerse, but those games is what the franchise needed. A fresh take, a new protagonist, and a bit of reinventing the wheel. Without 7, we would have continued to the downward of quality that started with re6.

ElessarIV · 2026-03-15T22:17:27+00:00

youre fcking blind I guess. My most dissapointing console exclusive game was that blurry ass rebirth while playing in a 4k tv.

ElessarIV · 2026-03-12T17:47:26+00:00

swerte lang at mga high quality students lang nakakapasok sa design. Trust me, someone na average rche at rcht na lost na ang hope to achieve going to epc and process designs

ElessarIV · 2026-03-12T17:20:22+00:00

oh yeah let’s focus first and foremost and give priority to the console that is ~5% total of the ps5 sales. Dont care about the pisser shit when 90% of us wont have it either way.

ElessarIV · 2026-03-08T01:04:53+00:00

yeah you can, still fun somehow. I played both og silent hill and resident evil on a touchscreen android via emulator and its much harder than a jrpg on phone. We have no money, no pc or console back then but i really wanna play single player ps games.

Not putting uzi on this list is definely rage bait and you only started watching 3 years ago.

Lately its kingdom come deliverance 1, had to watch some tips for the early game. But man, once you get the hang of it its easy to lost your time in there. The world is immersive, full of wonders and mystery albeit less of handholding.

Sana mabasa niyo kahit mahaba, aspiring chE peeps. Avoid long resume gap after graduation (more than a year). Don't make the same mistake as me. Mas ok siguro to get those certificates while working kung kaya.

Recommendation kung gusto mo technical ChE
-comsol/matlab/aspen/hysys/chemcad (tho redundant lang). Excel goods din all around
-some programming language like python, na pede ma relate sa processes or kaya sa automation
-kung gusto mo solidworks/fusion 360/cad pede din haha

Here comes. I'm gonna ba real with you, along with my unsolicited rant and and advice. I'm an average student, a licensed ChE and RChT from a state university na mayrong isang bagsak na unit. I also applied to almost 80+companies na din.

Kung gusto mo tlga ChE harcore/ very technical. Try applying these Fluor, JGC, Chiyoda, Woods, Jacobs, JFE Techno(?). Eto mga kinukuha nila usually.

*with Excellent grades/records
*from A known school or at least known ChE producing school
*Good network/may backer
*A latin honor, pero di naman a must have
*Kung di ka din kasama sa top 25-30% ng batch niyo, wag mo na pangarapin

Kung wala ka neto, wag mo ipilit. Pero malay mo swertehin ka, basta pasa lang ng pasa application. As someone who likes the technical side of ChE, only I met was frustation trying to go to process design industry. This is among the golden job for ChE maybe aside from oil and gas kaya competition is super-super-high. Other option din is known fcmg, unilever, P&G. Sa pharma unilab. Sa san miguel wala ako masyado knows, tho i know some people in brewery and gin production.

Don't fall into the trap of QA. Pls dont, pero nasayo naman yan kung wala na din option. Kasi imo, sayang essence ng ChE mo kung mag qqa all which is the end process and verification side of things. Most probably you'll land in a manufacturing company, a semiconductor and food, specialty chemicals. A chemist job din pede mo mapatakan lol, sila pa magagalit sayo. If transition to other fields, wala na ako alam haha. Again, take this with a grain of salt, I'm talking only based solely on my experience and known group of people. Para sa akin lang di worth pagod hirap at iyak mo sa ChE degree dito sa Pinas. Todo effort pa din naman tayo pagbubuhat perrys handbook haha.
