Short answer: no regrets
Long answer: some little things you will notice in AU once you're inside that's different from PH and helped solidify the choice:
An AU PR visa is also technically an NZ PR visa and you can work/live in NZ as much as you want.
Universal healthcare (Medicare) and welfare (Centrelink). Marami sa US and other countries magpapakamatay para makakuha ng ganito, and a tiny levy on your payslip pays for it. That little green/yellow card on your wallet for those with a PR is an absolutely huge benefit that the AU government gives you. There's a reciprocal program where you can travel to places like the UK with your Medicare card and get basic coverage from the NHS.
Medicare's PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme) = free or hugely subsidised ng govt ang maintenance/prescription meds mo. Yes that includes extremely expensive heart and cancer medicines.
Schooling is mandatory. University and vocational (TAFE) is handled through student loans (HELP/HECS). La masyado gastos ang magulang sa education ng anak nila. Your kids get free dental from Medicare.
Public transport is decent. It's not SG/Japan/Korea levels, but Sydney's double-decker trains and Melbourne's trams are still a big jump compared to LRT.
Cashless society. Tap and swipe your debit card everywhere. There's Android/Samsung/Apple Pay if you don't want to carry the plastic. Lang holdap kung walang cash. Also AU invented the plastic/polymer money that's now used by Canada and other countries.
Banking is fully digital. Only went to a branch ONCE to validate my first bank account. Once.
Citibank has like one branch in Brisbane, two in Sydney and that's plenty.
Opening additional bank accounts to your main one takes 5 seconds and a few clicks online.
Some banks like ING don't have branches at all and offer perks like refunding fees from any ATM you use, domestic and international.
You can transfer your phone number between providers (Telstra/Optus/Vodafone). Most plans are unlimited call/text/MMS and some have unlimited international minutes/SMS.
You can transfer licence plates between cars.
You can ask your company where you want your salary gets deposited. Mine has a website where we can edit our bank details anytime.
Interbank transfers are free, and there's a new system being implemented by banks (Osko/Fast Payments) where you can transfer money even over $10,000 and it arrives within 1 minute and works 24/7.
Lots of govt services are fully online.
Accountant fees are tax deductible, so they're technically free when you do your taxes.
You can tax deduct a lot of things if they're used for work (home internet, mobile phone, laundry costs, car maintenance)
You can actually breathe the clean air and walk along sidewalks unlike EDSA.
Specials on food. Yes nagsasale ang food dito. And when they do sales they mean it.
Meat and milk are dirt cheap compared to income it's laughable. The standard $6-7 beef mince (giniling) is lean na sa PH. Di maputi.
Idiot proof mag luto dito. Frozen veggies, canned tomatoes, recipe bases, lahat may pre-cut and pre-mixed. If you can brown meat you're already 90% there.
Very very strong labour laws, with Australia having the highest minimum wage in the world. You'll generally get paid better than someone in the US.
Yes, everything is expensive if you compare it to PH, but you still get paid really well compared to the expenses.
Someone with a 70k job will rake in around 1k a week net. You can fly business class to Asia with a few weeks of saving.
