PAG-IBIG: Provident Benefits Claim for migrants leaving PH
lock_code2004Perth Posts: 5,037Member, De-activated Joined: Feb 23, 2012
@lock_code2004 i also tried calling their hotline last night and aired my grievance pero same din sila ng sinasabi. i think wala sa label-free visa ang issue nila. it's more on their understanding that the skilled migrant visa is OFW and not a PR visa.
but for the benefit of the doubt sir, gagawa din ako ng complaint. sana maayos tong problemang to kasi di lang naman ako ang magbe-benefit dito pati na ung mga gaya natin na magfa-file pa lang din.
tama.. sge kaya mo yan.. suportahan ta ka..

@rbolante mag-hihintay kami ng balita sayo, maraming salamat sa pag-initiate nung discussion. Uwi ako sa Pinas ng January, para asikasuhin CFO tsaka yung mga ganitong papeles.
sa ngayon ang pinagiisipan ko is kung kanino ako magi-email. kung sa AUS embassy nga ba or sa DIAC specifically dun sa case officer ko. nakalagay kasi dun sa visa grant notice na pag may inquiries ako i can just email [email protected]. hmmmm... ano kaya mas ok na option?

guys/gals.. is it still possible na magkaroon ng visa stamp?.. i remember kasi noong nag renew ako ng working visa sa Australia dati (around dec 2009).. sabi ng officer doon Canberra na di na raw kailangan ng stamp.. pero sabi ko na mas gusto ko meron.. ang reason ko kasi ay baka magkaroon ako ng problem sa immigration sa pinas..just in case na magbakasyon ako sa pinas..
im not sure na baka pwede magpa stamp sa Aus embassy sa pinas just to avoid itong mga issue like sa Pag ibig...

@rbolante:I processed my pag-ibig last May at wala din akong visa label that time.Tell the pag-ibig boss you have spoked with na nagawa na nila yan dati I just showed all the papers na galing sa case officer ko and a little argument with her.Na process naman,just do a constant follow-up

I don't know about you guys but I would keep my Pag-Ibig, SSS and GSIS untouched even if I migrate. They are pre-tax money and works *pretty much* the same way superannuation works in Australia. Meaning pang-retirement money sana yan...if you leave the funds alone, it will grow interest over time...so unless sobrang gipit kayo sa pera, huwag niyo na lang galawin
skylineSydney Posts: 221Member Joined: Oct 07, 2011
Hi Loki,I am planning to keep my SSS too.But a friend told me na merong Au citizen dito who is receiving SSS and super at the same time then na trace ng gov't sinita about dun sa SS kasi citizen na daw sya here.Though I don't have the full details.Kaya nagdadalawang isip ako kung ituloy ang SSS.
"If you have a dream, protect it. Love it. Chase it. And one day you will live it"
I tried contacting my agent first kasi baka may alam sila dito. they just told me to print the page in DIAC website that states the provisions of the 176 visa.
And it clearly states that: "This visa allows you and any secondary applicants included in your visa application to live as permanent residents in Australia."
@LokiJr as far as i know mga bro, ung Pag-Ibig lang ang pwede i-withdraw. so definitely the SSS and/or GSIS will stay untouched. we can still continue our contributions with them though. and the one that ma'am @skyline shared with us is something new to me. it's kinda logical coz we can't be enjoying both our SSS benefits here in PH and AUS unless we're dual citizens.

@skyline yep that's my plan...why take out pre-tax money when you can let it grow on its own...pag tanda mo doble pa pension mo...if you don't want the Philippine pension you can always redirect the funds back to your loved ones in the Philippines
@LittleBoyBlue, puwede ka naman maghulog uli anytime...yung disadvantage lang talaga ng pagkuha ng pera kaagad e mawawala yung tax effectiveness ng naipon mo sa Pag-ibig..ika nga don't kill the goose that lays the eggs hehe
@rbolante yeah makes perfect sense naman yung punto mo hehe...ako kasi balak ko gamitin yung pag-ibig benefits para bumili ng lupa sa Pinas (in the future) Kung mapapansin mo sa Australia, a lot of them Aussies are into property investing at para satin sa Pinas, Pag-ibig na yung pinaka convenient na paraan hehe

@skyline ma'am ano po bang branch ang pinuntahan nyo? sa makati buendia branch po ako ung isang buong bldg sila. thanks.
Diyan din ako sir pumunta:D Pagpilitan mo na kahit walang visa label ok lang naka state naman yun sa paper from our case officer.Same din tayo na 176
@Lokijr:Siguro ituloy ko na lang din SSS ko.I was thinking magpa dual citizenship na lang para may benefits pa din akong makuha sa pinas
"If you have a dream, protect it. Love it. Chase it. And one day you will live it"
@LokiJr ah i didn't get your point until you mentioned your plan about investing in real estate here in PH in the years to come. makes perfect sense to me.
@skyline talaga ngang nagsisinungaling ung kausap ko na bossing nila. kasi sinabi ko parang imposibleng ako pa lang ang unang nag-file ng claim na wala nang visa label. tsk tsk.. gobyerno talaga. they are one of the reasons why people migrate to other countries. nawawalan na tyo ng pag-asa dito.

pano ba yung tax effectiveness na yun? hindi ako familiar dun eh. Ang line of thought ko lang ngayon eh I can make that money grow sa investment sa PH through index funds or blue chips na stocks, unlike yung pera ko nasa kanila na gobyerno nakikinabang. Ni-statement kung magkano na pera natin dun wala eh dba? Di katulad ng sa SSS, at least nakikita mo magkano na-contribution mo.

@Alona, pwede rin ba nating malaman kung gusto natin ituloy yung Pagibig contribution natin kahit andito na tayo sa Aus? If so, ano ang procedure at paano magre-remit sa kanila? Mas maganda sana kung meron silang remittance centre dito sa Aus. Another question, gusto ko ring ma access yung membership ko through online, ang problema kung anu-ano ang mga hinihingi information/registration at kung anik anik pa. Paano ba natin maaaccess ang pag ibig online?

@donking
I tried contacting my agent first kasi baka may alam sila dito. they just told me to print the page in DIAC website that states the provisions of the 176 visa.
And it clearly states that:
"This visa allows you and any secondary applicants included in your visa application to live as permanent residents in Australia."
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/176/
I think i'll just print this first and go back to Pag-Ibig. If they still won't agree with me that would be another story.

@LittleBoyBlue, puwede ka naman maghulog uli anytime...yung disadvantage lang talaga ng pagkuha ng pera kaagad e mawawala yung tax effectiveness ng naipon mo sa Pag-ibig..ika nga don't kill the goose that lays the eggs hehe
@rbolante yeah makes perfect sense naman yung punto mo hehe...ako kasi balak ko gamitin yung pag-ibig benefits para bumili ng lupa sa Pinas (in the future) Kung mapapansin mo sa Australia, a lot of them Aussies are into property investing at para satin sa Pinas, Pag-ibig na yung pinaka convenient na paraan hehe

@skyline talaga ngang nagsisinungaling ung kausap ko na bossing nila. kasi sinabi ko parang imposibleng ako pa lang ang unang nag-file ng claim na wala nang visa label. tsk tsk.. gobyerno talaga. they are one of the reasons why people migrate to other countries. nawawalan na tyo ng pag-asa dito.
