Maganda naman magtrabaho sa Singapore. Its one of the safest country in the world; madami na rin Pinoy dito. Its a modern city with nothing much to do (if you already work here) except work, work and work!!!

SGD 1800 is good enough for starters, sana provided na ang accomodation. If not you have to spare around SGD 400 - 500 for a room and sharing with other pinoys or even with the locals. Some companies provide daily transport to work, may pick up point sila near MRT's. Food is around sgd 4 - 5 per meal, kung hindi ka mapili. Anyways, its a good steping stone to come here and look for something better...that's what we all do when we arrive here.

Singaporeans are good people, you might just find them arrogant sometimes, even their government ask them to be more polite and to smile more!

Technically not OFW hehe, but yes, I'm in SG

Former Singapore OFW here. Almost 7 yrs din ako ryan. Batang Ang Mo Kio. Then, nilipat ako ng opis namin sa Saudi.

peeps kumusta naman ang trabaho sa singapore? may balak kasing barkada ko na magtrabaho diyan as pharmacy assistant, 1,800 SGD ang offer sa kanya ok na ba yun o masyadong mababa?

Yung salary na SGD 1,800, pwede na, kung sagot ng employer yung accomodation (o kaya bigyan siya ng housing allo.). Pero pag hindi, medyo hirap. Maki-share na lang siya sa mga Pinoys. Sa amin noon, ang rent namin sa condo, SGD 1,200 na (fully furnished). Pero ang taas na raw ng rent diyan ngayon. Yung mga dati kong officemates na nasa condo, nasa HDB na lang, para makatipid.

Hehe, layo na po yung panahon na yan, 1200 won't even get you a 2br HDB nowadays... 2br condo starts at 2k for the most part... Rooms averages 400-600/mo without util.

Yung rent na yun (SGD 1,200 for a 2BR Condo in AMK), that was 2005 pa. Tumaas na pala ng husto ang rent diyan.

Grabe!

Masyado na yatang mahal and bahay sa Singapore ngayon gusto pa naman sana namin magpalipat dyan .

Just started working here again in SG since Jan '08. 2BR HDB easily 1.6K SGD, 1.8K if nearer to MRT. It was only around 900SGD 10 years ago. and 700SGD 15 yrs ago. Lahat nagtaasan na even foods. It's almost same living standard now as HK... but it's still a liveable country though.
