Maybe your home directory is already in the command path variable (environment variable), this means that the executables and links in home can be executed from any location.
printenv
If not you can add it or any other directory as a command path so that you don’t write in the file system but to add it should demand root privileges again.
So everything you throw into /home/phablet/.local/bin will be executable from every location, throw in there the busybox symbolic links for your commands and any other executable.
