Work From Home Success: Laithylle’s Story as a Filipino Virtual Assistant

October 3, 2025

Laithylle Shaira Mangubat’s journey shows how Work From Home success is possible for Filipino Virtual Assistants. After almost a year as a VA, she found more family time, better balance, and ongoing support from Sphere Rocket Jobs. Her favorite part? The Sphere Rocket Connection Process — training, answered questions, and guidance that made her VA journey smoother. This blog highlights how aspiring Filipino Virtual Assistants can succeed with Sphere Rocket Jobs’ free job-matching platform, training, and community support.

Why So Many Filipinos Dream of Work From Home

Do you ever wish you could work from home, earn in USD, and still spend time with your family? 

For many Filipinos, this feels like a dream that’s too far away. Long hours in traffic, low pay from office jobs, and less time for family keep people stuck in the same cycle.

But stories like Laithylle’s prove that this dream is real. She found a way to enjoy work-life balance, more freedom, and guidance from a supportive platform through Sphere Rocket Jobs.

Laithylle’s Testimonial

“I’ve been working for almost a year now, and my favorite part of the WFH setup is simply being able to work from home. It allows me to accomplish so much more, manage my time better, and, most importantly, spend quality time with my family.

One thing I truly appreciate about the Sphere Rocket Connection Process is how supportive they are in helping VAs stay connected and guided. They continually educate us, answer our questions, and provide the assistance we need, making everything as a VA feel so much easier.” — Laithylle Shaira Mangubat

Family First: The Best Part of Remote Work

For Laithylle, the best part of being a Virtual Assistant is not just the work itself. It’s the freedom to be close to her family.

Work from home gave her:

  • More time with loved ones 
  • Less stress from traffic 
  • The ability to do hobbies she enjoys
  • A better way to balance work and personal life

Question for you: If you worked from home, what would you do with the extra hours you save every day?

Why Support Matters for Virtual Assistants

One thing that stood out for Laithylle was the Sphere Rocket Connection Process.

She didn’t feel lost. She didn’t feel alone. Instead, she felt supported at every step.

Sphere Rocket Jobs makes sure VAs get:

  • Training sessions to build skills
  • Guidance from people who understand VA life
  • A community of other VAs to share stories and wins
  • Clear answers when questions come up

This is why Laithylle felt confident, even when she was new.

Work From Home in the Philippines: Why So Many Want It

Filipinos want Work From Home jobs for many reasons:

  • No more traffic — imagine not wasting hours on the road.
  • Higher pay — many VAs earn in USD.
  • Flexibility — you can balance work with family or school.
  • Growth — you learn new tools and skills that can grow your career.

Sphere Rocket Jobs helps make this possible by creating a bridge between Filipino Virtual Assistants and U.S.-based business owners (Engagement Partners).

What Sphere Rocket Jobs Really Is

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, coaching, and community support.
  • Does not charge fees to applicants.
  • Lets the Engagement Partner (the U.S. business owner) make the hiring decision.

This makes the process fair, transparent, and safe for Filipinos.

Skills That Matter More Than Degrees

Laithylle’s story shows that you don’t need a diploma or perfect English to start as a Virtual Assistant.

Engagement Partners value:

  • Reliability — do you show up on time?
  • Communication — can you explain clearly?
  • Consistency — can you deliver results every day?
  • Willingness to learn — are you open to new tools?

These qualities are things many Filipinos already have.

What Jobs Can Filipino Virtual Assistants Do?

Sphere Rocket Jobs helps connect VAs to many types of roles, such as:

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

This variety means Filipinos with different skills can find their fit.

Training for Long-Term Success

Laithylle appreciated the ongoing training and guidance.

Sphere Rocket Jobs doesn’t just connect you once. It keeps helping you:

  • Learn new skills in webinars. 
  • Stay updated through monthly group meetings 
  • Get advice from other VAs in the community. 
  • Build confidence for future opportunities

This is how VAs like Laithylle grow their careers, not just their income.

Why Stories Like Laithylle’s Inspire

Many Filipinos think working from Home is too hard or too risky. But real stories like Laithylle’s prove that:

  • You don’t need a diploma.
  • You don’t need BPO experience.
  • You don’t have to do it alone.

With the right system, training, and support, ordinary skills can turn into extraordinary opportunities.
