Theoretically yes. Sometimes certifications such as TEFL are asked for.

You didn't mention your nationality but from your profile, I assume Philippines. The thing you need to be aware of is that to teach English and English Lit, the preference here is for NATIVE English speakers - read as "western passport holders". That is the big stumbling block I see to your plans.
