<blockquote rel="manofsteel">ang naiisip ko lang na gustong bumalik sa pinas after migrating eh yun matatanda na, yun tipong mas gusto nila magretire sa pinas at kakanta ng.. "ang mamatay ng dahil syo!"
pero i doubt if meron talagang less than 5 yrs eh balik pinas na, kase bukod sa visang pinaghirapan applyan eh malayong mas maganda ang life ng nagmmigrate kahit pa odd jobs ang work. sa pinas, khit ano work mo tatagain ka sa taxes. mga govt officials lang yumayaman.
sa mga Singaporean's naman na bumabalik, tama sinabi nila above, pampered kse sila sa Sg at para sa knila, I believe, living in Au is just to have a feel of lving in a different environment and not to pursue a better life like most of us pinoys are aiming to have.
Kung PR ka man sa SG, you don't get to enjoy the same priveleges as their citizens, unlike in Au. Nakakamiss lang sa Sg is transpo convenience and safe environment, but definitely not suitable for family to live there for good. Sa Au pang pamilya talaga, at pang sports pa (kase reachable ang dream sports car! haha) 🙂</blockquote>
Correct. For them, its not going to SG to find a better life but more of to experience something different lang. Mas ok ang buhay nila dito. Lalo na sa mga "trublu" para sa kanila talaga ang Singapore. First class citizen sila sa bansa nila. Their red passport is also powerful. Nandito na din nman lahat ng gusto nila and Singapore is keep improving and improving in terms of infrastructure, walang tigil =). Its been a while since nakagala ulit ako dito. Gardens by the bay is very nice, may performing live bands na sa may esplanade area, makansutra was improved unlike years ago, laupasat, the big shopping malls in orchard, new shopping malls in jurong east area (westgate, gem, etc.), improvements in MRT system. I love the feel of Melbourne when we got there, but in terms of real city and modern feel, hands down its SG. If theres a word to describe Singapore i think its "convenience". Good for them, but this place is not for me =)
