Very hard to get a job without being here. Also what type of job? It's not like you can work without a permit or a correct visa.

Maybe try Lazada, Their CEO is Spanish and they seem to have a lot of young European guys in mid-high level positions, not sure why.

Welcome to the forum.

<snip> Foreigners who plan to work in the Philippines are required to obtain a work permit. There are three main work permits and are obtained from two agencies – the Department of Labor and Employment and the Bureau of Immigration.<end snip>

For details go to https://car.dole.gov.ph/news/alien-employment-permit-vs-special-working-permit/

And if you do find one the pay will be far less, perhaps by an order of magnitude, than what you can earn in Spain.

Welcome Arthur and good luck with your search. Real jobs here are well sought after and like the proverbial hen's teeth.

Online working has also taken a hammering since covid, it appears everyman and his dog is trying it, many unsuccessfully but they are still taking the odd job from those in dire straights. My friend being a prime example.

Screwed over by an ex who cleared his bank out and made false accusations against him leading to a few court cases and debt. He was confident with his skills and contacts he would get work easily. He is now many months down the line with zero jobs, he had a few offers which all turned out to be scams. 

Good luck but always have a plan B.
