I don't think I've ever mentioned any job that is based in Manila in the 13,022 posts on this blog.
The manager for this position is in Burlington, MA, which is a Boston suburb. Can you imagine how much better it would be if they hired a resident of the USA (for example, me) instead of a Technical Writer in Manila? A USA-based Technical Writer would be less than a drive away whereas actually going to Manila, Phillipines, would be a 33 hour, 20 minute plane ride.
