I just came back from a Europe trip (Netherlands, Frankfurt and Germany) last week. I fell in love with Amsterdam and I have thought of moving there. I am from Philippines but currently working in Dubai, United Arab Emirates for 6 years now.
I am writing this as I wanted to gather information regarding the easiest way to live there. Should I first get a job? How will I apply? Will the companies be processing my working visa? I need help! Bedankt! 😊
Is it possible to get a job in NL while I am still in abroad?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.
The easiest way is via a Highly Skilled Migrant visa, that way, your new employer applies for your visa and you don't have to learn Dutch. This link takes you to the relevant section of the IND website that has the details.
Hope this helps.
