It sounds to me like the dude you're doing this for is looking for a Manilla type pricetag. (which translates into USA spare change - literally). Just a side note... but it doesn't make sense to hire an editor raised in Manilla to do English editing, either.
Like I said, the job needs an expertise of a NURSE. I AM a US registered nurse. It doesn't matter where the person is RAISED as long as he/she's got the right credentials and qualifications to do the job. I'm sorry but I find your statement offensive. Being raised in Manila does not mean that I can't do English editing. Even if English is not my first language, I can very well use it. Please avoid posting such insensitive statements.
