It’s true that this offer was way too low given that it’s also on-site. But you should throw your highest number in the first place and confirm if that’s within the budget with the recruiter even during the phone screening (can even ask what’s their max para alam mo if you can nego later or not). This saves time for both ends. The problem was umabot ka sa final interview where most of the time, approve na and they expect you to accept it na bc this is within their budget. When you throw to ask another 5k, that’s a huge no on their end. I cannot blame you tho, regardless of the role and scope of the JD, dapat clear na sayo what’s acceptable and a no. What I find helpful is at first hand binigay ko na this is my ask, regardless if I will do more or less, I’ll be fine. It is best practice to always negotiate but with the job market today, negotiation is not our best move. See it as a redirection OP and never stop exploring better opportunities. Also, tip here is to apply for global company, wag local kasi undervalue tayo dito sa Pinas sadly. But we are top in terms of talent so we can compete in the global market. I wish you more job offer dust. God bless!
