  I left mine at 120 contributions just to get the pension instead of the lump sum.
  
  You'll earn so much more in Australia that the SSS pension will look tiny by comparison, and if you ever go back to PH you can bring your super with you.

  @fruitys thank you for the input.. currently, we havent met the 120 contributions.. can we pay in bulk before going to Aus or continue monthly?

  @milktea13 Any will do. When I left, I gave money to a relative and they paid my contributions every quarter. I don't recall if there were issues back then with paying for a whole year but a full quarter is fine.
