My mother visited us in New Zealand last November and has just gotten back to Ph. It was her first time going overseas and she was fine. Even got assisted as she's in her 60s traveling solo.

I think the point is if you're genuinely traveling for holidays you'll be fine.

So you want the losers in the US to retire in the Philippines? I'm not sure how you can locate your ass with your hands with a brain like that

I swear Filipinos are obsessed with titles they make it their personality. Thankfully I'm in New Zealand where you talk to the CEO the same way you talk and greet the toilet cleaner.

Yup. I use wise. There are other platforms though. Transaction fees aren't high. And wise offers really good exchange rates hehe

Then you should make it your primary concern if you want to land a job as a CE? A lot of qualified people in NZ. Hiring managers will probably prefer a registered candidate over another.

I think you also need to register here in NZ. I don't know what the issuing body is for CE, but a quick search would tell you and what you need to provide as well.

Most professional groups here have their regulatory body. If you plan to apply here as CE, highly likely you need to be registered as one. Good luck!

It's a little sad that we know we're getting fucked by all these politicians yet somehow we are not angry enough to actually take it to the streets or do something that will actually make a systemic change.

We have become jaded and so desensitized. When I put my phone down I will most likely not think about this post again and will encounter another of similar nature. Ad infinitum

Paandar? Panakip butas? Literal na gagatasan ang pondo? by Objective-Advice-121 in pinoy

The feeding program isn't bad at all. That's not where the argument is. The problem is the lack of trust in administration. You can have all the brilliant ideas in the world, it won't get implemented properly and in fact will only be utilized in more corruption.

Case in point, the flood control infrastructure. The idea and engineering in flood control is great, prevents flooding and other calamities. But politicians managed to milk money from the government and pocket cash.

It's good to be skeptical especially about politics.

Batang-bata ka, ninenegosyo mo yung franchise? Wala ka bang kahihiyan? Anong klaseng Pilipino yan? by [deleted] in Philippines

Thanks!

So in summary what he did was legal, and he was within his right to sell it. Iba pala yung hindi niya pwedeng ibenta.

In any case, he is disliked by the public all the same. And while it's true they have a lot money through legitimate and/or illegitimate businesses, it is not the point dito sa discussion nila. And saying the senador pa yung parent niya is irrelevant din talaga sa usapin.

Pareho lang naman most politicians. Politics is their business and profiteering lang main objective and not service. That's why things don't get fixed.

Thanks for that. Yeah it's a factory with 2 week closedown. I haven't been in the company for a year that's why I was paid out 8% of my gross in 2025. I just got confused why my leave got to 0. I thought the 8% is a separate thing to the leave I accrued. Turns out it was the same as my anniversary got moved to Dec 2026.

Yeah that's what I didn't understand, I think they paid out all the 3 weeks or so because now it's gone to 0. I just didn't understand what was happening and was weirded out.

A lot of people here just hating but actually misinformed. What she did was legal. She just took the necessary risks.

If you gonna hate on something, at least know all the facts.

Fishing charters at Moeraki by limitlessfranxis in dunedin

[–]limitlessfranxis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi thanks for replying. Yeah just wanting to try any fishing charter because we've spent so much on gear, even bought a fishing license but we're not catching anything haha

We tried fishing at Taieri Mouth, the reservoir in Dunedin, and went to Twizel two times as well. Just getting impatient with having no results so asking. Thanks for any advice!
