What Are You Thinking About?

The benefit of FB is having a constant link with relatives living half a world away.

That's what my FB is. It's just a glorified email service among relatives.

[ninjababez]

I agree here. I joined the FB bandwagon relatively late and benefits of communication and keeping in touch with relatives and friends outweighs the irritants (i agree, yung mga nagyayabang ng kung ano-ano, yung post ng post na sa kanila na ang lahat ng blessings sa mundo, and those with overachieving children kuno ). You just have to be careful with the info shared and privacy settings.

may nagpost ng stuff online at sinasabing blessed daw siya. may utang sa sakin 5k, total value nung pinost around 40k IIRC (laptop and ipod). tinanong ko kung pwede na nyang bayaran tutal mag 3 years na yun utang kahit wala ng tubo. nakikiusap na wag daw muna kasi wala syang pera.

btw pinakita lang sakin ng officemate ko yung post, kasi wala nako FB nun.

Is it really cheaper to shop in Middle East than the US? I thought US goods are supposed to be cheapest in the US, apparently not. Even European goods are cheaper in ME than in Europe How did that happen?

They have no taxes on goods in the middle east.

Just sales tax or no tax at all? Example if items costs $109 in US ($100 + $9 sales tax), that same item will cost $100 in ME or less?

even sa AV equipments cathy. May pinoy nga nag sideline ng ht equipment, shipped pa yun dito sa atin pero mababa parin ang presyo.

afaik, sa middle east, tax-free talaga lahat ng mga goods na manggagaling sa US.

nakakapagtaka lang, yung mga Hanes or FOTL undershirts with $25 sticker price, SR25 mo lang mabibili
(1USD = SR 3.77)... Red Wing or Dexter Shoes * $100 sa US, sa ME SR200 na lang.

sa electronics (Bose and/or Apple products) kung $109 ($100 + $9 sales tax) sa US, baka makuha mo ng
$120 (SR 452), pero bibigyan ka naman nila ng "free gifts" (i. e. cellfones, digtal alarm clocks, headphones, internet cards, etc.) worth $20. eh di lumalabas pa rin na mas mura pa rin sa ME kesa sa US.

The sad reality is, especially for countries with high income inequality like the Philippines, the existing systems make it really hard for those in the lower income classes of society to have the same opportunities as those from the middle class, much less the upper elite.

TVs and Stereos pa rin ang kadalasang binibili ng mga pinoy doon.
talaga namang mas mura pa doon kesa bumili ka sa pinas, kadalasan, sea cargo lang nila
ipinapadala. wala kasing tax na babayaran, por kilo lang.
SR 3- SR 4 lang naman per kilo, 30 days lang nasa pinas na.
ayos na ayos 'yun kung makakatipid ka naman ng almost 50% di ba?

BI orders expulsion of 155 foreigners working illegally in PH

July 22, 2015 03:20pm

THE Bureau of Immigration (BI) has already ordered the deportation of 155 foreign nationals caught working as call center agents-cum-online gambling operators in an office in Pasay City.

Immigration spokesperson Elaine Tan said the foreign workers, mostly Chinese nationals, were rounded up in Pasay City last Monday.

Tan said the Immigration bureau received a tip from a concerned individual about a gambling operation in Pasay, prompting agents to conduct continuous monitoring and surveillance of the area to verify the report.

At around 2 p.m. last Monday, BI operatives moved in to make the arrest and caught the foreigners in the act. When questioned, the foreign workers failed to present immigration papers and work permits.

"Thereafter, they were arrested and brought to the BI main office for inquest proceedings," Tan said adding that the foreign nationals were charged for deportation under Section 37(a)(7) of the Philippine Immigration Act for being improperly documented.
