Sorry but that is incorrect if you wish to work in the Philippines. Same way that the NCLEX-RN exam for the US will not give you a license to practice in the Philippines, it will count as you having a license in terms of working in another country, but will not permit you to work locally.

To work in the Philippines, it is required that you take the NLE exam.
