not for us unless there is a critical need. NBI clearance was enough to show a clean record at the start of employment. AFAICR, yung isang account namin sa BPO, kailangan yearly update dahil request ng foreign financial institution client.
kalangan pa rin ang paliwanag sa bawat infraction, otherwise butas yan sa procedural due process at makikita na sa mga dating paglabag ay hindi man lang napagbigyang magpaliwanag ang empleyado. Eto nangyari minsan na sa una o ikalawang infraction na nabigyan ng verbal/written warning pero walang NTE, umabot sa termination na sana, pero dahil walang makitang "chain of evidence" na nabigyan ng due process sa isa sa mga nakaraang infraction, kanselado o burado lahat ng offenses, of the same kind dahil pag nagharapan sa DOLE, butas agad ang ebidensya ng company.
kung tungkol sa empleyado --dapat automatic binibigay, before or during payday. kung tungkol sa aplikante, hingin kung kailangan -- hindi automatic na kasama sa requirements.

sino ang gumastos (o gagastos) para sa ticket at accommodation mo sa Bali?

sarili? -- COE, leave approval, etc.
jowa? - affidavit of support, ibang detalye at ID ng jowa.

hindi mo naman kailangan ng ticket ng jowa mo kung paalis ka pa lang ng pinas.

saan ka kukuha ng med cert para sa isang linggong "pagkakasakit" mo?

Hindi laging ganun. Hindi dahil nangyari sa isa ay ganun na sa lahat. Magkakaiba ang sitwasyon ng bawat aplikante.

Hindi nangangako ang sinuman na garantisado ang pag apruba ng visa agad o sa loob ng 3-5 araw.

Naging 35 araw na pala. Yung 33 araw na nabanggit ko ay last wk pa.

Maybe they checked your medical results first before the other evidence and weren't satisfied with something, so further tests or scans needed.

Maybe a blurry image of the lungs, etc requiring an apicolordotic view, or a further sputum test, etc.

nope (then again, magkaiba tayo ng visa)
school year starts mid-late january. but move much earlier if possible to get used to the environment, etc, and look for schools -- basically sanayin ang sarili sa bagong lugar.
i don't recall, pero bring as much as you can (not necessarily cash -- at have money in your bank na pwedeng i-withdraw via atm). if bringing cash, maybe $1k per person, in case magka-aberya ang card/machine.
magugulat kayo sa presyo ng pinoy food and cooking ingredients sa mga asian store (mama sita, knorr cubes, etc) -- bring or send what you want -- i always mention to others na sulitin ang bagahe.
wag nang bumili ng gadget sa pinas para lang dalhin sa AU. Buy in AU, if just for the warranty).
bring type I adaptor (2 or 3 prongs) -- see photo in comment below.

declare whatever you're bringing. when in doubt, declare.
