Hindi po. Sabi ko andito ako sa pilipinas.. at na papunta ko sa Australia at sa friend ko ako titira pag punta ko. Basta maging honest po sa situation. And don't be discouraged po sa mga rejection letters. I had my fair share. At madaming prayers po.

Kailangan mag load tapos naka ON yun roaming ko. sa myoptus na app, punta ka sa recharge-add ons-travel credit. Niloload ko 10aud. Bale 1 aud per minute yun rate bawat tawag sa akin. Tapos yun interview, via Zoom.

Hi @cutiepie25 . On Optus SIM, all texts pumapasok naman, no experience yet on incoming calls. If matagal walang load, nawawalan ng signal. Signal comes back after reloading. I've been using this since initial entry last year. Still here in PH, SIM is on roaming 24/7.

Hi. I hope everyone is safe. Curious lng po pra sa 491 visa holders. Pano po kaya kung halimbawang after a 1year kpa nkapasok dhil s travel restriction? Eh ung 5years visa mo, 4yrs nlng maiwan. Nabasa ko kasi na hndi pwede iextend yung visa validity. Tama po ba?
As much as possible po kasi eh sana mautilize ung entire 5yrs pra may panahon ma-comply ung 3yrs living and working na requirements for 191-PR.
Thanks in advance.

No po hindi automatic cancel ang ibang EOIs. ang common etiquette is once we get invited, we withdraw the other EOIs manually to give chance to others

Kami po BM plan sa June, but remains to be seen po if may normal flights na po sa June.. I assume sweeper flight po kau kasi april pa lang ? Lahat international arrival 14 days quar na po, ini expect din po namin come June.
