I hope people are not considering this...it defeats the very purpose of marrying someone. Ganun na ba kadesperado para lang maka-Australia? hehe...Where's the bragging rights in getting a visa kung gamitan lang kayo diba? hehe.
I always believe that God has a purpose for each of us...kung sarado lahat ng options sa Australia, maybe that's a sign already hehe

- its a hit or miss..may mga success stories at meron din naman failures..
- kung meron kang pambayad na 20k, bakit di na lang student visa tapos hanap ng work
- i guess eto nga ang gusto ng iba para ma fast-track, or kung wala na talgang ibang way
marami akong kakilalang gumawa nito. pero hindi naman na random na kung sino-sino lang pinakasalan.. mostly mga pinoy to pinoy din.. mga friends or relative na ni-reto ng iba.. tinanong ko sila.. nag date din naman.. kumbaga eh parang match making muna.. kung ayaw ng isa.. hindi rin naman matutuloy..
yun nga, mostly naman, eh maayos ang buhay nila, may mga anak na at hindi naman nag hiwalay..
im not advocating this.. gusto ko lang sumagot at magbigay ng patas na opinion..

In terms of practicality, yes, any means of getting to Australia is a valid one
Pero usapang moralidad etc (too many to mention), kaya ba ng konsensya mo yun? hehe
