    itss\ dipend in company especially sa multi-national company usually 8 hours or more at yung iba may half day pa kapag saturday. kasi nga ang Multi-company they paid their employee big salary compare sa minimum salary. pag sinabi Multinational-company means its a big company that has office branch in overseas. dito sa Australia kapag may local work experience kana mas tataas ang sahod lalo pa kapag nagaral ka related sa work. basta ako magaaral pa ako ng advance diploma. tiyaga muna mga kabayan hehehe... cheers \:D/

    @jayjee09 Yeah ang taas ng currency nila ngayon. Unlike years back i.e. ang US around $1 = Php 40 and AUD1 = 28php. Ngayon mas mataas na AUD. Galing.

    dito sa canberra makikita mo na agad ang tax na binabayad mo dahil world class ang roads and infrastructure at kapag may konting damage nirerepair agad. About sa health may health card medicare. ang mahal dito ay yung mag rent at bumili ng house usually pag bibili ka 25 to 30years to pay mortgage dipdende sa ilang room at location. basta kapag may trabaho ang mag asawa okay na mahirap kung isa lang ang nagwowork. cheers

    bakit australia? kasi mas mabilis ang immigration procedure nila, maganda ang healthcare..maganda para sa pamilya at safe para sa mga bata.

    ang US, bukod sa napaka-hirap ng systema para sa mga migrants, puro trabaho na lang..nakakahiya magbakasyon kasi baka bukas may kapalit ka na! pangit pa ng healthcare system..at malayo sa pinas!

    mabilis ba immigration nila? parang ang hirap nga po ng standards nila hehe strict ika nga, mas madali pang makapasok sa singapore or hong kong..

    but I agree about the healthcare system nila dun...dito sa pinas hihingan ka ng kung ano anong dokumento bago ka nila pansinin :(

    @LokiJr pero as of last year balita ko pahirapan na rin ang pr sa sg. Wala pako naririnig na nakapasang pinoy. Maybe the quota is true... kung maganda lang ang health care dito sa sg at madali makakuha ng bahay.. hindi nako magbabalak pang umalis.

    @LokiJr - oo, mabilis pa yan..hehe. i mean medyo strict nga standards at kelangan pa ng assessments, etc..pero straight forward. may defined list. tsaka ang timeline nila mga 2 yrs lng...dito sa US, yung iba mahigit 5 yrs na wala pa ding PR. ubos na pera mo sa processing pa lang.

    iba naman ang hongkong at singapore compare sa Australia. Iba sistema ng Immigration nila dun pati kultura, trabaho lang ang doon bihira o pahirapan ang magapply ng citizen doon. Ang Australia English country at kapag PR kana puede kana mag apply ng citizenship after 4 years. Ang Australia kahanay yan ng Great Britain, US, Canada. Maganda ang health program ng Australia compare sa US. Mahirap makapasok kung di mo nakuha ang minimum points. cheers

    mahirap icompare ang hk/sg against sa australia. wala namn free healthcare sa SG, ikakaltas sa Medicare(na ikaw rin nagbayad) mo ang medical expenses mo. siguro mas similar ang canada at australia.
    just my opinion=D

    Mas madugo po ang taxation sa Pilipinas. Lahat na ata nasa 32%. As far as I know, since 1998 pa yan at hindi pa inuupdate...

    Sa Australia, taon taon nila inaayos yung tax table kaya yung tax free bracket lumalaki kaya in effect, very lenient ang taxation nila para sa mga middle income earners...

    At may tax offset at deduction talaga sila....nakakainggit nga sistema nila e :)

    Wow mukhang established na kayo sa Singapore....Nasa Skills Occupation List ang mga trabaho po ninyo kaya para hindi po sayang pinagpaguran ninyo sa SG...Apply na lang po kayo ng General Skilled Migration Visa...pinoproseso po yan kahit nasa Singapore pa kayo at nagttrabaho...

    Kung positive at granted ang visa...saka pa lang kayo aalis ng SG...At least wala kayong talo :)

    you might want to do some research first... there are a lot of scammers scattered around the world today... i might be wrong though... God bless!

    Thank you so much @ylai, i've read the link above and found out that its a scam. It was very suspicious when they ask me to visit their website and do the payment first, then asked me about credit card/debit card info, but luckily i don't have cc, but i told her i couldn't give her any information about my debit card. After that she emailed me,asking me to complete the payment, etc.. Thanks so much for the reply. I'll be more careful now.
