How Working From Home Changed Ken’s Life as a Filipino Virtual Assistant

October 1, 2025

Ken Ayag, a Filipino Virtual Assistant with 3+ years of experience, shares how remote work through Sphere Rocket Jobs changed his life. In just a month of working with a U.S.-based business owner (Engagement Partner), he gained freedom, more family time, and the flexibility to enjoy his hobbies. What stood out most to Ken was Sphere Rocket Jobs’ system: no unnecessary reports, no micromanaging, and continuous support that makes working with U.S. Engagement Partners smooth and empowering. This blog highlights how Filipino VAs can achieve balance, growth, and freedom with Sphere Rocket Jobs’ free job-matching platform.

The Big Question Many Filipinos Ask

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you could work from home? No long commutes, no office stress, and more time for the things that really matter. 

For many Filipinos, this feels like a dream. But Ken Ayag’s story proves that this dream can be real. After more than three years of working as a Virtual Assistant, Ken found a new level of balance, freedom, and support through Sphere Rocket Jobs.

Ken’s Testimonial

“I'm with my client for almost a month now. I have worked as a VA for more than 3 years now and working at home changed my life. I have more time for more important things like my family, enjoy some hobbies I liked which I can't do when I was still working in office. I like how Sphere's system gives me, the VA, and the client freedom. This is the only VA agency I worked for that feels like working with a direct client. No necessary reports and micromanaging that adds more work on top of the work you are doing for your client.” — Ken Ayag

More Time for Family and Hobbies

For Ken, the biggest gift of Work From Home is time.

  • Time for family
  • Time for hobbies
  • Time for rest and self-care

Instead of wasting hours in traffic or staying late at the office, Ken now uses those hours for the things that make life meaningful.

Question for you: If you didn’t have to spend 2–3 hours in traffic every day, how would you spend that time?

Freedom in the Work Setup

Ken noticed something special about the Sphere Rocket system: it gave both him and his U.S.-based business owner (Engagement Partner) freedom.

  • No extra reports
  • No micromanaging
  • Focus only on the actual work 

This made Ken feel like he was working directly with his Engagement Partner. The connection was smooth, simple, and supportive.

Why Work From Home Attracts Filipinos

Thousands of Filipinos are turning to remote work because of the benefits:

  • No traffic → save hours every day 
  • Earn in USD → better income 
  • Flexibility → balance family, work, and hobbies
  • Skill growth → learn tools and systems

Sphere Rocket Jobs helps create this bridge by connecting Filipino Virtual Assistants with U.S.-based business owners (Engagement Partners).

What Sphere Rocket Jobs Really Does

It’s important to be clear: Sphere Rocket Jobs is not a recruiter or employer.

Instead, it is a free job-matching platform that:

  • Connects Filipino VAs with U.S.-based business owners (Engagement Partners).
  • Provides free training, resources, and community support.
  • Does not charge applicants any fees.
  • Let's Engagement Partners decide who they want to work with.

This is why so many Filipinos trust Sphere Rocket Jobs—it’s safe, transparent, and supportive.

Why Engagement Partners Value Filipino VAs

Ken’s success story shows what U.S.-based business owners (Engagement Partners) are really looking for. It’s not diplomas. It’s not perfect English.

What they want is:

  • Reliability: Can you deliver on time?
  • Communication: Can you update them clearly?
  • Consistency: Will you show up every day?
  • Willingness to learn: Are you open to growth?

These are qualities many Filipinos already have. That’s why so many succeed in Work From Home roles.

What Jobs Can Filipino VAs Do?

Ken worked with a startup, but VAs can be matched to many roles, such as:

  • Executive Assistant—email, scheduling, admin
  • Social Media Manager—content posting and engagement
  • Marketing Support—research, reports, campaign help
  • Video Editor—YouTube, TikTok, social media content
  • Real Estate VA—transaction coordination, lead generation
  • Customer Support—chat, calls, email

This variety gives Filipinos the chance to use their strengths in the right role.

Training and Support That Continue

Another thing Ken valued was the Sphere Rocket Connection Process and how it supported him.

Sphere Rocket Jobs gives VAs:

  • Monthly training sessions
  • Group calls with updates
  • A VA community for peer advice
  • Continuous learning for future opportunities

This means VAs like Ken never feel abandoned. They stay connected, guided, and ready to grow.

  • You don’t need a diploma to start.
