oo nga.

kung parehas lang salaries & perks, uwi na 'ko, la nang tanong-tanong pa.
bibihira sa ofw ang mabigyan ng offer na ganyan.

iba ang feeling pag nasa pinas ka, bro.

isa yan sa mga sinabi sa akin when they were telling me about the offer. di ko talaga alam kung ano yang "tax shield" na yan?

now, my former bosses from my previous casinos/hotels have transferred to manila. some of them have asked me to join them. salary? whatever i am getting now and whatever benefits i want (i have a free hand to do my package).

naguguluhan ako. baka pwedi nyo ako tanungin para alam ko kung ok nga ba or hindi.

iniisip ko, dyan sa atin, i can do better kasi di limited ang kaya kong gawin. dito kasi chinese ang medium of communications (i am still a beginner in the chinese language). mas mababa pa ang cost of living. here, i am paying more than 50k apartment though sagot may housing allowance naman na binibigay. kung dyan, wala akong babayaran monthly.

pero may traffic, may crimes, etc.

please help.

the fact that you're asking means ayaw mo dito

well, that's what i'm getting from your post

once you're exposed to a bigger, faster-paced, more dynamic, more professional, more prosperous world coming back to the Phils. is like moving back to a small town that hasnt improved in decades

kaya it's understandable baket parang hesitant ka umuwi kahit pareho lang kikitain mo + lower cost of living pa dito

sometimes, it's no longer about money

right?

chua....my tax here is .03% (not even 1%).

uls....siguro natatakot lang and not so sure what will manila has to offer me. i think ganun din naman when i got some offers from our competitors here in macau. kahit na same location, mag iisip ka pa rin.

ayoko lang na after i start working in manila again, babatukan ko sarili ko at itatanong kung bakit ko tinanggap.

**chua_riwap** · March 17th, 2012 03:04 PM

maliit lang pala tax mo dyan.
tanong mo kung ano'ng salary pattern ang io-offer sa yo?
kung patterned ba sa macau o yung sa pinas na.

**robot.sonic** · March 17th, 2012 03:32 PM

Uwi na.

It's more fun in the Philippines.

If you can go home every month and i assume good for few days yon. Parang nasa pinas na ka rin pag ganon. Di lahat ng OFW pde ganyan kadalas maguwian. KUng better ang pamumuhay mo abroad, just go home for some R&R tapos balik trabaho ulit.

Single ka naman, kung married ka at maiwan pamilya mo dito, ibang usapan yon. Just remember, minsan lang maging bata ang anak mo, dont miss na oppurtunity. Lalo na kung di naman kayo naghihikahos sa buhay.

**rockiee_s** · March 17th, 2012 04:27 PM

nakakauwi nga ako...pero 1 or 2 days lang. bitin na bitin to do whatever i like.

di ko tuloy ma enjoy yung mga dapat i-enjoy.....

bumili ng bahay, di naman natitirhan.
bumili ng condo, di rin natitirhan.
bumili ng kotse, di naman nadridrive.
