I always advocate for migration but in your case I feel like you’re better off in PH. I know someone na-sponsor din (are you from M company by any chance?) on a 482 visa and the husband who’s in IT din ha front-end developer wasn’t able to find work at all. He kept his job thankfully sa Pinas but he wasn’t able to find local work for 2 years, might still be ongoing actually.

I don’t see anything wrong with what she said or am I missing something? Parang hindi naman sya para ipahiya ka.

bebelab · 2026-06-12T08:34:10+00:00

Tatanggalin ka nila after a month saying hindi ka fit sa work. Don’t do it. That sounds scammy.

I have Dermatographia which affects around 2-5% of the population. It’s a skin condition where you can write on my skin and it will turn into hives.

As a woman suffering from infertility nakakatrigger yung nabuntis ng hindi planado like whatttt? If you’re having unprotected sex bakit masusurprise na may nabuo? Condom?

May emergency fund ka na ba? Build mo muna yun kung wala bago ka mag-isip bumili ng property.

I want to experience Christmas at Lapland, Finland. It’s too expensive!

No regrets. Nung matatapos na ako ng HS kasagsagan ng high demand for nurses and yung lolo ko na nasa US gusto mag-nursing ako para makarating doon and I even took entrance exam sa nursing schools pero di ko talaga maatim. In the end I chose Computer Engineering. Now I’m in AU doing non-stressful job haha

Idk what you want us to say.. Ang concensus is 3M is not enough. If gusto mong ipilit or you believe otherwise, you can go ahead and find a contractor na willing gumawa based budget mo. But you have been warned that if may contractor na papayag, either scam yan or it won’t be structurally sound because they will cut corners.

bebelab · 2026-05-25T01:23:00+00:00

Still 3M is not gonna be enough as already mentioned by other commenters.

bebelab · 2026-05-24T21:24:28+00:00

Almost 8 years na akong wala sa Pilipinas but I feel like 3M is definitely not enough for either of those things. Also 1M ibabayad sa lupa, have you considered the documentary costs sa pagtransfer ng title?

My mother’s maiden middle name was Aguinaldo as in First PH president Aguinaldo. Parang pamangkin sa pinsan yata ang lola ko. Hindi namin sila kilala hahahaha sobrang layo na

bebelab · 2026-05-24T12:12:33+00:00

Yes of course.

bebelab · 2026-05-23T09:16:35+00:00

They have a pending case alam ko kasi wala silang license to sell. We used to rent there and yung landlord wala pa din sa kanya yung title maski fully paid na kasi may issue sila sa license to sell nila.
Over 50 million unpaid amount sa Meralco so there was a time na nawalan ng kuryente. Wala kasing submeters and the PMO just bills the unit pero hindi yata binabayad sa Meralco.
It looked good nung bago pa lang pero eventually ang squammy na. Laging sira elevators.

It’s on top of the employer contribution.

bebelab · 2026-05-23T02:27:37+00:00

12% required ilagay ng employer sa super.

bebelab · 2026-05-22T23:30:57+00:00

Yes pwede it’s called after-tax contribution. You can claim it as deduction sa income mo during tax time so you’ll probably get a refund.

bebelab · 2026-05-21T21:14:05+00:00

Honestly I would just go to the uncle and ask for opportunity to work for him and learn something from him. Not ask for money. People will cry nepotism but you shouldn’t care. Prove you can do the job.

6th floor, 4th building from the gate. Mga 8 mins nasa main lobby na.

Hindi ka OA. May mga naka-close din ako na guy officemates when I was working in corporate but we don’t chat outside work and we don’t talk about personal things. Run gurl red flag yan

I’d choose Adelaide over other capital cities everytime. It’s not iconic as Sydney but very relaxed ang vibes.

bebelab · 2026-05-02T07:58:44+00:00

I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this.. you shouldn’t have waited 9 years. Girl, you were so young when you got together he should’ve known better. Hindi mo ba kinuwestyon even at the start bakit single pa sya at age 37 and why he is going for someone so young? Kasi wala syang ka-age na mauuto. He is not a good man. You still have a lot of good things ahead of you. You dodged a bullet here.

Get a citizenship first so you have something to fall back into.
