    Same sentiment for Taiwan. Uber safe, low tax rates, good health care. But I really can't understand the language :) hahaha. Actually, if AU did not pan out, I would have applied for Taiwan citizenship this year. Fortunately, AU did grant me a visa this year.
    Canada for me is too far and too cold. Plus, most immigrants have a hard time finding work there, unless they have prior experience or they studied there. Whereas in Au, it is nearer PH, good weather conditions, and easier to get a job.

    Pero ngayon, parang wala na kong naririnig na masyadong maganda from anyone i know who is working and living there.
    Mate Singapore is a very nice place... WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better than the Philippines!

    Food is great, very covenient, very safe (lumalabas ako at maglakad ng 1km to a McDonald's at 2 in the morning kasi nagugutom) - what more can you ask for?

    Oh yeah, did I mention a very low tax regime and a salary that is at the least double sa kinikita sa Pinas? :)
    I agree, Sg is a nice place.. in terms standard of living..

    In the country where I am right now has a similar case, knock on wood, but I can say that I feel safer here than I do kapag nasa sariling bansa ako

    I can walk with my backpack on my "back" and not in front of me.

    I can stroll in the city center while using my phone or a camera dangling around my neck.

    i can shop a very busy marketplace not worrying if someone's eying my wallet.

    ang hindi lang talaga matapatan ng ibang bansa, at least on my own perspective.. ay yung saya ng mg Pilipino at saya sa Pilipinas.. lalo na ngayong magpapasko.

    i was in New York City, on Christmas Day last year, pam-pelikula ang setting, may konting snow, naka-winter clothes ang mga tao... makulay, masaya, kumukutikutitap!

    but I'd rather be in Pinas that time having a simple, happy time with family and friends.

    So wala talaga sa lugar yan.. kung san ka masaya.

    i like Oz better, although mas geographically isolated sya
    geographically isolated from? may eroplano naman nobody is isolated anymore.
    kung ang vantage point mo e PH, di hamak na mas malapit ang OZ kesa sa Pinas.
    may mga klasmeyt ako na nagmigrate sa US at Canada at simula nung nagpunta sila dun e hindi pa sila nakakabalik sa Pinas for more than a decade.
    Reason: sobrang mahal ng pamasahe pabalik ng Pinas.
    Samantalang sa OZ, pwede ka umuwi sa Pinas every year, at lalo na ngayon na may Cebu Pac na mas mura pamasahe.

    Probably he meant geographically isolated from other famous destinations like europe, america, south/latin america, Caribbean, etc., as compared maybe sa Canada. Though mas mas malapit Australia sa Asian countries. Ako natitirang Asian countries na interested ako mapuntahan is Japan hehe. Pero kung may extra pera nga no problems talaga kahit saan. Mahirap na kasi maguwi uwi kung madami na binabayaran like amortisation sa bahay, car, etc.

    That's exactly what I meant.. like if you're in the US-- Canada, Central America, and the Caribbean is right at your doorstep.. then with all travel promos like Groupon, you can go to Europe cheaper and faster, I supposed, than if you're coming from Oz.

    The airfare from US to Phils is not that expensive anymore, baka noong 1980s pa yun. A lot of pinoys choose not to have a vacation in the Philippines, not because of airfare alone... pero usually yung mga kaakibat na gastos kapag umuwi ang isang OFW.. lalo na kapag magpapasko

    On the otherhand, one of the prime reasons I chose Oz is its proximity sa Pinas.. I could go on a quick vacation without having to sit on a plane for 16 hours or more.

    I bought a 2 way ticket SG-MNL from CebuPac for the xmas holiday since namimiss na daw ng mga lolo at lola mga apo nila. We're family of 4 (2 kids) and it only cost me S$1300.00 with 40kg luggage.

    Hmmm I wonder how much it would cost kung nasa AU na kami.

    Any advise sa mga nasa AU na? Para maisama sa budget.. hehe :)

    3yrs ako sa Singapore before I moved here in Perth. Sa 3yrs na yun palagi ako umuuwi ng December kasi mag-isa lang ako. Usually ang budget ko pauwi from Singapore to Manila is $500 roundtrip from mid ng December til after New Year. Ngayong uwi ko ng December na Perth to Manila (via Singapore) yung $500 ko one way pa lang! hehehehe

    hello sa lahat...makisali lang ako sa forum na to....

    From OZ to Pinas, airfare would depend kung saang state ka mag depart
    and would depend kung anong airline at kung anong season

    Cheaper airline like jetstar that travels to Manila from OZ and may Cebu Pac

    SG to Pinas would still be cheaper kahit peak season kasi malapit sa Pinas

    At sa main topic naman: Singapore VS Australia VS Canada VS Pinas:
    Singapore = positive would be malaki sweldo, standard of living is good
    negative would be mahal daw yong bahay and car
    Australia = positive for some would be the weather/climate;
    for some people, it will give them more opportunities
    to work and excel in their field of work at sa iba yong
    tax system is good - "salary packaging"
    = negative? depends on the individual's experiences
    Canada = positive: maganda na country
    negative: minsan nagpapala ka pa ng snow; long flight to Pinas
    Pinas = positive: more fun in the Philippines; mura ang fee pagnagpapamper ka
    ng sarili mo like manicure, pedicure, massage...masaya ang pasko!!!
    = negative: d mo nakikita kung saan napupunta tax mo

    Sa ibang countries, malaki tax nila pero nakikita naman na ginagamit talaga ng government
    like good public roads and good health system...free checkup, free hospitalization and subsidize meds, free school at iba pa...

    Mura sila pag pasko , ang logical explanation walang gustong umalis pag pasko ....

    2 years ago nakakuha kami ng same price going to manila ....

    ??? Diba mas marami nagtatravel ng pasko.
    Considering na may force shutdown pa usually mga company sa OZ pag pasko hangang New Year.
    Mas marami nag-uuwian kaya nga nagmamahalan airfare pag pasko e.
    I don't get your logic.

    ahh salamat papi

    another question: ito bigla nalang tumama saken e

    naging concern ko to simula nung makita ko mga pamangkin ko naglalakihan na yung isa nasa college na bigla ko napaisip ako sa future nang kid ko

    sa AU ba ang mga bata eh parang dito sa SG na sobrang exposed sa gadgets e.g. ipads, iphone computers at kung ano ano pang related sa digital age?

    kasi pansin ko sa Pinas ang mga bata saka adolescents sunod sa uso kahit hindi kaya nang magulang ipipilit minsan gagawa pa nang kung ano anong kalokohan, nasaksihan ko to sa mga ibang pamilya sa mga tropa ko. yung bang exaggerated na consumerism na gusto ko jordan shoes gusto ko branded gusto ko ito gusto ko iyan at kung ano ano pang trending na gamit.

    saka lately mga kumakalat na mga kabobohan sa FB mga kabataan nagvivideo nang kung ano anong kagagahan sa social media, you name it you guessed it.

    medyo naalarma ako although may parents participation sa pagpapalaki syempre darating pa rin yung downtime na hindi natin sila lagi nasusubaybayan.


    napaisip ako kung rampant din ba to sa AU? maraming salamat sana may makasagot

    @thegreatiam15,

    Purchasing power of AUD is too strong na mismong pagbili ng adidas na sapatos eh parang bumili ka lang ng suka sa tindahan.

    Kung nagugulat ang pinoy sa ganyang standard ng mga 1st world countries like OZ, that's because mahirap kasi ang bansa natin.

    Ngaun kung oks lang sau na lumaking addict anak mo, then live in australia. D2 normal lang ang drug addiction s mga kabataan.

    drug addiction normal? can you cite some stats mate?

    though there are more juvenile delinquents here than where we lived before (Singapore) but I really find it disturbing that you label seeing an "adik" kid normal in Australia...

    overall i would still find it safer to raise my kids here in Australia than in the Philippines...
