@engineer20 korek ka dyan, yung ibang S-pass pinoy nga samin, kahit gusto i-renew ng company di naman ni-renew ng M.0.M. kahit wala namang bad record. Medyo regret din kasi di ko sinama mga kids ko during pr application namin ni mrs nun, may boy kasi ako, at halos di pa ganung kataas school fee nun intl student, ngayon parang every yr tumataas, waaaaa.

myself and wife are 6yrs PR with property in SG. both kids were born and grew up there and are on long term visit pass and of course rejected few times sa SG PR application. worse, my eldest did not get into a local primary school last January even though there are 3 schools within 1km from our place. good thing i applied for AU PR in 2014. thankfully i got job offer last Aug 2015 and moved here first, while my family will follow this month and my eldest will start schooling here.
madali pumasok sa local schools dito sa AU. work environment is good, people are generally nice and friendly and they value your personal time
so goodluck to all! pinoyau had been a great help to me, so i'd like to give back to by trying to help in any way through the forum. cheers mates!
