Do I have to pay for income tax in Philippines. How about traffic is there congestion?
I especially appreciate the information and advice you guys provide.

Yes, you need to pay tax to the Philippines for any income that you earn in-country. The tax rate is anywhere from 5% to 32% depending upon how much you earn. See Philippines income tax

As for traffic congestion, Manila is well known for its terrible traffic!

Base on your opinion I should stay in Kuala Lumpur instead of move to Manila?

it is not up to me to tell you what you should do, you are adult work it out your self, as we all did, take a chance try your luck who knows you maybe the lucky one.

Your English needs a lot of work, and I think most people in Manila will be speaking Tagalog; English is their second language.  Might be different in a business, though.  I consider Manila a hellhole, and wouldn't want to live there unless I had a lot of money.
