  1. That’s probably for private military contractors like Halliburton. Check wikipedia or look for articles on that company… such a mess.

  2. Is that true I am willing to work in Iraq for $9, 000 gosh yes I will risk my life

  3. hmmmm, not included in that adsense ad is… you should be meztizo and no facial hair. danger!

  4. @migs – i signed you up. good luck, buddy :P

  5. goodluck to those who will be interested. Can’t take that job. Too risky over there.

  6. Si Migs naka ligtas sa Israel. Baka kaya sa Iraq. :)

  7. I think I’ll pass. $9000 isn’t worth risking your life for.

  8. Thanks but no thanks. A million wouldn’t be enough. I’d have to sacrifice my principles as to how wrong this war is in the first place.

  9. @Nicholas: Yes, that too.

  10. Kates,
    Actually, I am back in Israel!

    kidlat,
    I read the article. Yes, that KBR used to be connected with Halliburton. Both associated with American corruption. (yeah Pinoys don’t have a monopoly on kurakot!)

    Just found this: Halliburton Watch.

  11. The salary is very tempting but the risk is just too great. Thanks but no thanks! :D

  12. Did you guys actually open the link? It’s a SPLOG network!

    Anyway in my personal opinion… I won’t mind dying there. What’s scary as hell is getting incapacitated in the war zone.

  13. ummmm no thanks… kahit kalahati lang ng ganun ung sweldo ko, masaya na ako sa trabaho ko…

    are we selling out or what?

  14. If these private contractors in Iraq can throw fat salaries, it’s because a lot of filthy oily money is being made there. I read that a Halliburton truck driver makes between $8,000-10,000 a month.

    US soldiers in Iraq make between $2,000-3,000 a month not because their fighting for freedom but because the US needs to protect the oil business they took over. And these soldiers die by the hundreds every month.

    I hope no pinoy would participate in that kind of insanity, not even for $9,000.

  15. kahit barya lng ang sweldo ko ngayon. i wont mind.

    k lng at least i know im still safe in the philippines. at sa bawat gising ko sa umaga, nakakasama ako ang aking kapatid,

    :)

  16. Amen eric! Amen!

  17. Down with the military-industrial complex!

    (wait a minute, there’s also something like that in the country I’m in. hehe)

  18. If you’re in the Philippines right now, what military? :P

  19. Figures. Filipino soldiers face low pay and corrupt bosses here; they may as well become Haliburton mercs.

  20. eeek kakaloka…. i also saw a haliburton ad dati pa… diba company yun ni dick cheney? pero whatevs they have a disclaimer naman….

  21. @Ria, yes. Dick’s, George Dubya’s, and other Texan oily boys. Hehe. They’re under the Carlyle Group where Saudis have a large stake.

  22. HOW CAN I APPLY

  23. pls. advice me how to apply for this job

  24. Im working in saudi arabia but the salary is not enough If I get this oppurtunity my way of life will be change its iether will be good or bad, but If you can see our country only politics will survive with their power, how about the poor family They will go to the politician and get some money to survive for a couple of weeks as you watching noontime show wawawie(karamihan sa mga tao ay talagang gagawin lahat upang mag karoon ng prices) thats the thing government can’t see (dapat mahiy naman ang gob. natin imbes na sila ang mag bigay sa mamamayan sila pa ang kumukarakot ng kaban ng bayan) That the way of life in Phil. see some young girl who become a prostitute in malate, avenida, and also anywhere in the province(talamak talaga dahil sa kahirapan) Thats why im pursuing how to apply in this kind of job. Appreciate if anybody will help me.

    Thanks,

    SEAMASTER

  25. I’m not sure about it but according to my friends in KSA, mahirap daw yang work na yan.. frontliner ka sa pakikipaglaban.. dilikado.
