    @mimi03 wala naman masama kung papayag ang friend mo na magpakasal kayo.. it takes two to tango.. hanap ka na rin ng possibleng gusto mo.. dapat installment ang bayad para hindi lugi ang magbabayad.. final payment pag citizen na..

    actually hindi ko po alam kung magkano ang binayad..
    hindi ko na tinanong nahiya ako.. hehe

    okay naman siguro ang ganyang arrangement total may divorce naman e...wag lang pahahalata sa immigration
    Sorry mga girls... :D I don't accept that kind of offer... you know...
    I have fear in GOD and for me marriage is a life time commitment.

    Imbes gumaan ang buhay mas lalong mahihirapan ang nanay at mga kids :D lalo kung divorce papaanu kung hindi sapat ang sahod... naku po... kung alam lang ng mga kabayan natin sa Pinas kung gaanu kahirap magtrabaho dito upang masuportahan at mabayaran ang mga bills sa utang, sa utilities, sa bahay at ibang gastusin sa basic needs. Don't do that my friend...

    Parang John Lloyd Cruz lang sa "In My Life" a...

    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

    @mimi03 in my opinion mahirap pag d mo masyadong kilala ang papakaslan mo dpat kilala mo mabuti at alam mo lahat ng tungkol sa kanya paborito nya etc.. kc iinterviewhin pa kau jan dapat pareho kayo ng sagot kung hndi lagot!!! and make sure na d aamin ang pinakasalan mo na binyaran mo lang sya kasi mas lalo kang d mkkpagstay sa australia.

    Share ko lang...
    May kakilala kasi akong guy pero sa US sya..Nagbayad sya ng girl na papakasalan para mkapgstay sya sa US tpos nung ininterview sila nung girl hndi pareho ang sagot nila nahuli tuloy sila at ang hirap pa umamin ang girl na binyaran sya kya wla tlgang lusot. Kaya ang end up kinasuhan na si guy pinauwi pa ng pinas.

    Apply ka nlang ng VISA atleast kaw pa ang naghirap wla ka pang magiging utang na loob sa iba hehe

    @faye ano pa ba ibang way para maging PR?
    eto po ang mga most common ways:

    - student visa with PR pathways
    - find an employer, who can sponsor your for a temporary visa and then later PR
    - apply on your own as skilled migrant (independent, state sponsorship, relative sponsored)
    - marry an AU citizen/PR

    Magandang paraan ba to for those na gusto ng PR?
    mabalik tayo sa original na question... Maganda bang paraan ito?

    - 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
