Answer: I have never been to the Phillipines, and I am not familiar with the ways that employees in the Phillipines usually resign from work. However, I do know the three things that I always suggest be part of a resignation: (1) respectful tone, (2) words of appreciation for the opportunity to work and learn, and (3) a last date of work.

Resigning can be a tricky “transaction.” Good luck in yours, and in your new job!
