    @layao2002 importante siya sa akin. single kasi ako, at may mga close to the heart hobbies ako na kelangan ko ng PR para gawin mga yun. tsaka, work-wise, may sobrang attractive offers, pero hindi ako kino-consider once nalaman ng headhunters na EP lang hawak ko. so yeah, big thing siya for me :)

    though sabi ng iba, pag may pamilya ka na, ibang usapan na... medyo hindi na gaano ka advantageous pag PR lang hawak mo, wala na masyado advantages compared to pass holders. pati nga anak mo, hindi assured na approved as PR.

    @thegreatiam15 tama, if di ako nag work dito SG, malamang di malakas loob ko pumunta ng OZ, unang una, kung mag iipon ka sa pinas, aabutin ka ng siyam siyam, unlike dito sg, mga 2 years savings lang, pwedi na pang start na budget sa AU.

    Ang gusto ko lang dito SG, eh convenient lahat. food, gym, order online groceries, transpo, malls, and parks.

    my thoughts exactly previously noong wala pa ako idea gusto ko to kasi naiisip ko magtatagal ako dito hindi ko publema kung mawalan ako work then nung narealise ko yung kasama kong PR na hirap magearn kasi nga lake nang kaltas sa sahod pati bonus kasama

    sabi ko buti nalang hindi ako PR ok naman ang pass ko nagkaroon na ako nang idea mag migrate sa canada or australia after nang 3rd year ko e

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    simple computation lang po para sa mga di nakaranas ng pr, lets say sahod mo $3K, employer's cpf 16%=$480/mo.=$5.7K/year, plus interest, ito po ang dagdag sa ipon mo, maliit pa po ba iyan?

    sa may family gaya ko, last time ngre-rent kami, share namin almost $1.2k/mo., ito po ay "tapon" per mo.; dahil PR nakabili ng hdb, ang mo. mortgage, lower pa sa rent share namin, at ito po ay dagdag sa ipon once na ibenta mo ang bahay, imagine $1.2k/mo. in 5yrs? hmmm..

    mapa single ka or may family, laking bagay ang ang naging PR po

    gusto ko din sana maging PR sa SG kasi nga extra savings ang CPF at pwede pa sana makabili ng HDB kaso di pinalad sa pagaapply within the past 8 yrs. mas maraming baon papuntang Au ang mga galing SG na nagrenounce ng PR nila.

    @pinoycoder @se29m maraming salamat mga brod sa advice.. nakakainip talaga mag hintay ng invite. Sana talaga ma-invite na at maka move na next year.

    For me kung work at pagiipon lang lang ang paguusapan, SG is the best together with very efficient transpo, facilities, malls, convenience stores, etc. Pero ang pinaka ayaw ko lang dito is karamihang ng employers eh fixed term contract lang ang binibigay. Sobrang hirap mag plan for the future dahil d mo alam kung hanggang kelan ka lang, especially for the SP/EP holders.

    actually maganda to kung hindi ka marunung maghandle nang finances mo lalo sa mga individuals na kasama nila mga anak at asawa nila dito medyo mahirap talaga makaipon nang husto pero kung kagaya namin na work pass holder at nasa Pinas ang family medyo madali makagetby kung walang kaltas atleast ganito yung nafefeel ko everytime na nagcocomplain saken yung kaopisina ko although lagi ko nalang sinasabi na yaan mo pre pag time na magrerenounce kana malake na pera mo which is actually a good thing din.

    hopefully sa OZ makaipon pa ako nang husto para sa retirement ko hehe i guess d na masama magisip nang long term habang bata pa

    @dreamoz Hehe PR po ako. Ofcourse malaking bagay ang CPF but like i said maeenjoy mo lang ang CPF once magrenounce ka na later on.

    May family din ako pero yung asawa & anak ko hindi PR. So hindi din kami makabili ng sariling hdb flat. Sa ganitong setup, ang perks lang ng pagiging PR ko is to use that CPF money to settle sa pinas or migrate to other countries like Australia (syempre!)

    Siguro case to case basis pero wag lang sana manghinayang na hindi kayo naging pr sa singapore. CPF lang ang difference and work opportunities ;) OZ pa rin bagsak natin

    @rich88 kapit lang. as long as naka-minimum points ka, darating din yan. may mga iba naman na companies permanent ung offer ng employment. EP ako for 5 years, maswerte at perm naman. ung nakakapanghinayang lang ay pag may headhunter na tumawag kahit hindi ka nag-apply, tapos sasabihan ka na pang local/PR lang. eh di sana hindi nalang sila tumawag diba? LOL

    actually, today. as in april 26, nag apply narin ako ng PR for SG kahit approved na ako sa australia. matagal ko na kasi to ni-book sa eAppointment 3Q2015, kaya pinatulan ko narin. pero pag nag big move na ako at wala pang results, ka-cancel ko rin siya sabi kasi 4 to 6 months ang result. who knows, baka mag big move ako after 2 months :)

    after 5 years, naglakas loob narin ako. forever thankful parin talaga sa SG, kahit i-reject nila to :)

    So far d pa ako sinuswerte na makuha sa isang company as in house. Mejo madalang talaga. Mga anaps rin kasi yung mga senior management so malamang unang choice nila anaps rin.

    @pedrosg lol sa hugot. from the past 5 years kasi, buong buhay ko sa SG, nakaka-frustrate kasi na hindi talaga flavor of the month mga pinoy sa PR dito, lalo pag hindi ka ka-lahi ng 70% majority (alam mo nato LOL). di ko siya na-experience personally, pero ung mga kaibigan kong noypi medyo nakaranas at pag ni-share nila, medyo affected din kahit papano. at least sa OZ, walang pabor na lahi. pag pasok sa points system, PR agad :)
    Exactly!!! officemates ko (pinoy & indo) bsta my ka-lahi ng 70% majority, PR approved.
    9 years na ako dito SG with 5 to 7x PR applications.. rejected! lahat na ata ng way nagawa ko na.. hindi na lang sinabi, umalis ka na d2! hehe #Hugot LOL
