yung mga pinsan ko... after living in the USA for so many years babalik dito sa Pinas. pagod na raw sila sa lifestyle dun.
Hell yeah, as soon as I get a job and visa, I'm out.
Yeah... but not immediately. wait and see.
No! I will die here!!!!
No, only because I hold a good job/ good business in 'Pinas, sayang naman.

Kung normal employee lang, I guess it would be better to go to developed countries and employ yourself, mas maigi kung maisasama ang family, and then doon mag-ipon. Once na naka-ipon come back in Phil and relax. Sometimes we have to think the future of our kids. Baka someday tanungin tayo ng mga anak natin, "Tay bakit dito tayo sa Pilipinas nakatira at hindi sa ibang bansa?"

masipag ka lang naman dito cgurado gaganda buhay mo, kung tamadis ka at sobra dami reklamo sa katawan wala ka asenso dito.
yup...Originally Posted by CLAVEL3699
kaya kami may mga sideline pa kami. kayod hanggang after office hours, sabado at linggo.
kesa maubos ang oras ko sa kaka reklamo...
most of us pinoys have plans of going back.save the dollars,invest in real estate in pinas and when its time to collect for pension /social security dyan na tayo sa pinas.the disadvantage here when you get old,walang magaalaga sayo coz everyone in your household are working kaya saan ka babagsak?sa home for the aged or convalescent homes. where in pinas you can afford a private nurse, a maid and a driver,dba?

Puwede na ba ang 5 years sa US? 5 years lang plano ko eh. As in ipon, basic necessities, walang luxury, (except maybe getting the Beetle fixed up hehe).
tama si speedy...'home is where your heart is' mapa-pinas, US, UK, NZ, HK, ako masaya ako basta kasama ko ang pamilya ko.....
I just want to get my children an option when they grow up, having an option to work in other country where they can without much hassle....unlike kung mag-stay kami dyan sa pinas they will dont have much option, habang tumatagal eh humihirap kumuha ng visa dyan papunta sa ibang bansa because of our country's status....we are not rich as Henry SY or Lucio Tan or the Ayalas...we have to work to make a living... and making sacrifice by being away with my relatives for my child's sake I think are one good gift that I give to them when I'm gone.
Besides, I can always come back to the Philippines and go to other countries as well....If we just stay in PI its quite hard to go out to another place to work or play...
and one more thing, the way our country is doing things, I dont see our economy will be like HK or Singapore or even Malysia in the next 20 or so yrs....
just my opinion....
Ako kahit nasang sulok ako ng mundo na masaya at kapiling ang pamilya kontento na ako. Syempre pag tanda ko gusto ko bumalik sa Pilipinas, gaya ng sabi nila walang mag-aalaga sa 'yo dahil lahat may trabaho. Masarap din naman ang buhay sa ibang bansa, depende nga lang kung paano mo gugugulin ito. Marami sa mga Pil sa ibang bansa puro reklamo na kesyo puro trabaho at wala na raw time para sa sarili at pamilya. Ang dahilan, walang kakontentohan. Kahit kumikita na ng sapat o sobra na ay pinipilit pa ring magtrabaho kahit day off nila, para lang mas lalong lumaki ang kita. Kaya 'yon wala ng time para sa pamilya, nakikita lang ng mga anak pag matutulog na. Pag minamalas pa ay umiikli ang buhay sa sobrang kapagudan. Ang katwiran para raw sa mga anak nila ang kanilang ginagawa. Yong pinsan ko halos 7 days nagtatrabaho, ubod ng tipid kaya maraming ipong pera pero sa tingin ko di sila nag-eenjoy ng buhay nila. Laging daing, gustong umuwi ng Phil, sawa na raw sa trabaho.
kung si yebo magiging presidente ng Pinas, hindi na ako mag aambition magmigrate sa ibang bansa.![]()

dun sa mga me balak pumunta ng us, kung tourist ang visa mo at balak mong mag over-stay, mahihirapan kang makahanap ng decent job. don't get me wrong, i don't want to discouraged you guys. i just want to tell you what you will be facing once you're here. para paghandaan mo na kagad ang mangyayari.
first of all, it's hard to get a social security#/driver's license. you go to a DMV office, hahanapan ka ng social security number. in order to get a social sec.#, you have to show proof that you are an immigrant or you have those type of visas that you are permitted to stay and work here legally. employers will require you to have these when you apply for a job.
tapos, hindi lang yun. san ka titira. usually sa relatives, right? now, handa ba silang tumulong sayo. maybe sa una, pero pag tumagal ka sa kanila magsasawa din sayo yun mga yun. di lang yun, dito sa cali kelangan mo ng car. it's hard to find a job without a car. sa new york, pwede kahit wala kang tsikot. ok ang public transportation nila dun. tapos eto yung pinaka mahirap. kung sanay ka sa happenings dyan satin at marami kang barkada, dito patay ka...what i mean is mamamatay ka sa lungkot (look at macky's thread). hehe dami ko na palang nasabi.
well, good luck na lang sa inyo and wish you all the success. if you happen to be in my neighborhood, paramdam na lang kayo dito sa tsikot. sama ko kayo sa lakad ko.
OT. sir, siguro bc kayo dyan last summer of 04(or bihira kayo mag tsikotOriginally Posted by silverbx986
) kasi PM ko kayo kaso wala reply(maybe di nyo din natangap, eheheheh). medyo bagot na bagot din kasi ako(more than 2mos) dyan sa CA. sa Long Beach pala kayo at medyo malayo rin pala sa amin(west hollywood, LA). anyway, will try to contact you again(hopefully this xmas when i visit my mom) para makaupo naman sa boxster mo, hehehhe. Back sa topic, lahat ng sinabi nyo ay correct. kaya nga parang ayaw(but not closing the door) ko dyan although maganda talaga dyan lalo na kung mahilig ka sa tsikot.
hmmmm...siguro hindi na kasi ayaw ng Mr.Future ko magmigrate...hehehe...nung nakarating ako sa hawaii gusto ko na sana magsettle kasi parang pinas din dun eh...okay naman ako dito...palagay ko magiging masaya ang Future family namin dito..magvacation nalang kami abroad if ever...
given the situation here in our country, parang gusto ko din mang ibang bansa kaya lang parang malungkot kasi malayo sa family
To migrate is to settle in a foreign place till death. No way! Just get some money and come back. Spend in the Phil. ng makatulong ka pa sa Pinas...
1) If ur not doing well financially, married or not, get out and work hard abroad! kayod kalabaw ka for a year, comeback w/ P1/2M or continue para mabuo P1M. then start a small busness w/ ur family then u'll b better. konting sacrifice para sa luv ones.
2)Actually depende sa pangarap mo. small business,hse&lot,cars,etc so 1,2..5..10 yrs. and EVEN IF U'VE GOT THE RESIDENT I.D WHEREVER COUNTRY U R N, U WOULD ALWAYS BE A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN. hirap pa sa ibang lugar dyan grabe ang dating ng culture shock.
3)been away for 18yrs (mga tol, may buhok pa ko ha at pwede pa!) and I'm coming back soon. kasi masarap sa Pinas pag may pera ka! kahit nga nakasinelas ka sa mall may respeto pa rin ang mga pinoy sa customer.
4)Crime is everywhere... nasa diskarte mo ang precautions. if ur a showoff then ur an easy target. So be discrete and be humble... at least try, mahirap gawin yan pag marame ka ng pera...
5)bakit ba maraming foreigner ngayon dyan? coz' they can get a lot of fun from the currency they bring in than in any other place. sila pa nga itong nag-ma-migrate dyan sa atin!
Use ur head not ur heart when u r abroad working...
(work hard pa-api ng konti ganyan talaga bida nagpapabugbog muna)
Use ur heart not ur head when u got enough money...
(balik ka sa motherland, there's no place like HOME)![]()
hmmm...dun sa 4.) kasi, me kilala auntie ko, ubod ng yaman, pero they lived a very humble life -- as in parang middle income famiily lang, small house in a class C-D municipality, one very old car...ni katulong wala! one day someone called them up demanding millions or me masamang mangyayari sa kanila.Ralph:4)Crime is everywhere... nasa diskarte mo ang precautions. if ur a showoff then ur an easy target.

how did they find out? probably an insider who has access to the bank account info.
sa point 5.), yes, totoo yan, pero tingin ko it's more because of the 53:1 peso-dollar exchange rate. biro mo, you could be middle income in the states, pagdating mo dito e virtual hari ka na B)
...pero i do agree with you, it would be nice to retire here -- just not in manila B) cebu or negros perhaps B)
right! or simply old time friends, neighbors, or relatives (no offense). and that is exactly what i mean... imagine low profile na, nadale pa! what more kung show off mas magnetized ang bad elements around.Originally Posted by badkuk

But u know what... LIFE IS SHORT AND U SHOULD ALWAYS LIVE IT IN IT'S FULLEST. Di ko yata kaya style ng auntie mo. if i've got the money, i wont deprive myself of any luxury i want that i can afford.
Now about the place to stay? beautiful places in the P.I. are endless kahit sa Boracay, Dream on...that's how reality starts.![]()
I have been thinking of living in another country for quite some time now. If given the chance i will move out to another country but I must bring my family with me. Sila naman kasi ang number one reason why i would want to migrate. I can say that i am doing good in my business but I am afraid of what the future will hold for my daughter. Ngayon pa lang parang dami nanag problem ng bansa natin and I do not see any change happening 5-10 years from now. They say hirap sa ibang bansa kasi kayod kalabaw ka... Mubuti nang maghirap sa trabaho kesa hirap sa trabahong lalo ka naghihirap. But i do not have plan of getting old sa ibang bansa, uuwi din ako pag nakaipon at settled na ang anak ko. I will do it for my family's sake and not for my personal gain.
I still would like to give this country a chance but I don't blame people who would want to migrate. Talaga namang nakakawalang gana dito lalo na pagnakikita ko yung presidente na walang ka-amor amor, asawang ang dungis dungis, at anak na nagmana sa tatay saksakan ng corrupt. Sigurado ako na if we get hold of the riches of all politician in our country, sobra pang pambayad sa utang ng bansa. Itinaas pa ang corporate income tax from 32-35% para ma increase ang makukurakot by additional 1.5%. Kalahati kasi ng collection napupunta sa kurakot.
Pilipinas pa din...ipon lang sa abroad..then uwi...iba yung satisfaction na
nararamdaman mo sa pinas....sa abroad kahit naka X5 ka or Rex...wala din..kasi pangkaraniwan na lang..kung baga hindi mo feel![]()
e sa pinas kahit bulok ang kotse mo iba ang dating mo..![]()
seriously....i have a chance to have a residency here in AU..but ewan ko ayaw ko eh..heheehe uuwi talga ako ng pinas..and kung masasabi mong financially stable ka sa pinas....dyan ka na lang...masaya pa...
5yrs straight na trabaho sa abroad is enough for me
dalhin mo yung dolyar sa pinas mas malaki ang buying power mo..
5 yrs in abroad(let say dun mo gagastusin yung dolyar)
1. car mo utang
2. house and lot utang din
5 yrs sa abroad (sa pinas mo dinala yung dolyar)
1. fully paid na yung kotse mo
2. may house and lot ka na
3. may ipon ka pa.. hehehe
at higit sa lahat...masaya ka..
