Possible pa rin ba while tourist sa SG. you can also try job hunting.

Yes sir... but first you have to pass through our local immigration interviews... and if pass ka dito sa pinas, its not assurance din pag dating sa sg na you’ll be accepted... may chance din na mag airport to airport ka... goodluck!!!

Also, employers or job angecies their knows pag naka tourist ka and you are applying for a job and some of them give chance while others preferred those who already have work pass... goodluck again!

[emoji16] the best talaga mode of transportation nila... public bus + my trasport app+ mrt = convenience and hassle free... need mo lang ng internet which also very fast...

of course! many do it. some are successful, others are not.
job-hunting is not illegal. working without the proper permits, is.

Ten years ago, madali gawin ito. (Speaking from experience) ngayon hindi na. They would choose locals first before considering foreigners. One sure fire way to land a job is to get a referral from someone who is already working in the company. I know because this is how i got in.

one might notice that some companies seem to have more pinoys working in them than others.
while the so-called multitasking masipag na pilipino worker stands out elsewhere... here, every other asian worker seems to be so.
so yes. competition is tough. we need whatever leverage we can get, even endorsements from fellowmen.
good luck, TS.

Our edge to other races is we are hospitable and patient. Thats why in SG filipinos mostly work in the frontline where they need to face customers. That is something the locals are lacking. Ang susungit.

i work in a european bank in sg. the filipino community here is outnumbering
indians. the past 2-3 yrs (excl 2018) me mass recruitment na ginawa sa pinas.
kaya mga bago sa amin puro junior devs....mostly fresh grads with 2.5yr bond.
me mga nag-stay naman. pero maraming magagaling umalis after ipadala sa
HQ.

this year medyo nagslowdown hiring ng foreigners dahil sa mga bagong criteria ng min of manpower.

it's a generic statement, po.
my colleagues in the profession, make me kuwento about them.

I asked because companies in general cannot hire just one race to run their company there has to be a mixture of other races. They even do this at HDB’s. They cannot put filipinos all in one floor of an HDB Block.

My experience in working with SG, masarap sa una but as the years go by the Govt makes it more difficult for us foreigners. New requirements, Policies, etc. Even if you want to be a P.R it has also become close to impossible to get it.

My consolation na lang when i arrive after coming from pinas is, ay salamat mabilis na uli ang internet at walang traffic! Lol

oh...!
i did not mean, an entire floor manned by pilipinos.
what i meant was, "the pilipino seems to meet more pilipinos in the building, than other foreigner-workers."
i want to believe, that the pilipino was chosen over other-race-applicants, because the-pilipino-in-general is a proven good worker.

Sometimes you see a lot of Filipinos in an area because they are here for a week assignment/training.

Our office alone usually sends IT and Purchasing guys here for meeting etc... (naiinis kasi mga bossing sa Manila traffic kaya they find it better to send 5-10 guys here for meetings)

Officially (without the temp staff) 5 lang kaming Pinoy dito sa office... sa ibang floors, 2-3 lang (based on quick conversations sa lift)

10 years ago, madami kang makikitang Pinoy sa F&B and retail, ngayon halos wala na din.

Pinoys vs other Nationalities... Honestly, mas masipag tayo... but bosses cannot see that... Pag dating sa reports, presentations and meetings, makikita mo na iba confidence ng Indians and Chinese... Siguro we're just not wired enough to BS our way out of a situation.

Back to the topic... F1 is less than a month away... anyone here watching?

Point taken, dr d...

Read in a forum somewhere that some locals do not like pinoys because we take jobs that are supposedly theirs. Reason behind their revised policies that really makes it difficult for foreigners.

My sister had to go home two years ago (when she was pregnant) because of this new dependent pass requirement wherein one of the parent must have an income of at least 5k sgd a month. Hindi pwede i combine ang salary ng both parents, at least one of the parent must be earning this much.

Plus there is this scenario wherein a family with two kids. Father, mother & 1st kid are all PR’s. But the youngest kid is under long term visit pass or dependent pass. The family must have applied this kid as a PR at least 8 times but to no avail. What did they do? Ayun nasa Australia na sila ngayon. I personally know 3 filipino families who experienced this, gave up and migrated to Australia.

Bottom line, paliit na ng paliit ang mundo ng pinoy sa SG.

IMO, every country's goal is to get a professional/expat who can train the locals...

E.g. Nung bago yung mga Casino (MBS and RWS) ang dami nilang kinuha na Casino dealers from PH... Ngayon, either locals from China na.

So yes, naghihigpit sila, but if you have a good resume/background wala naman magiging issue.

Have you seen our Immigration requirements to hire a foreigner?

Kaso di ba ASEAN is supposed to be opening up their job markets? All ASEAN member countries will allow companies (with some exceptions) to hire any quslified person from an ASEAN member country. I remember yan ang isa sa mga rason bakit tayo nag-K to 12, to make our educational system equivalent to other member states.

Pinas...

It's very hard to assign a foreigner sa Pinas... Not unless your office is a "Regional HQ"

6k na ngayon to get a dependent pass... and you are right paliit na ng paliit mundo ng pinoy sa SG. sometimes even meron mag hire sayo na company pero pag inaaply nila for work pass ni rereject ng MOM ang balita mataas daw quota and requirement pag pinoy ang applicant ng work pass compare sa ibang lahi. dami na din pinoy sa SG na either nag migrate na sa AU, NZ or Mid east or balik nalang sa Pinas. kahit sa f&b kumokonti nalang din mga pinoy.

and also our PR application and approval was a bit lax during our time.
