So to get back to the topic...dual is cool. May option ka kung saan magreretire, at mabibigyan mo rin ng option ang mga anak mo. hehe So how about some australian nagreretire sa pinas, they get their pension in Aus, buy a house in boracay, become …

@psychoboy Opinion lang: I think it's more of the oath or plege of loyalty. Once you make that pledge to an appointed official of the government, you are committing yourself to the laws and practices of Australia. This pledge automatically renounce…

I think hindi ata nagpapadala yung telstra ng notice, yung dati kong provider 3play networks hindi din. Ang downside lang may data cap, bayad ko 4 yrs ago sa 3play $100/month for 100gig data plan pero every year dinadagdagan nila yung cap ko ng addi…

wag na wag kang magsubscribe sa vodafone... Did you know that nung nagka cyclone sa Rockhampton, down lahat ng telstra (internet, landline, cellphone) communications at vodafone lang ang gumagana.

@stolich18 Mag-download ka ng free tax software ng ATO, naka-lagay dun lahat ng pwde mung i-deduct. Tapos some filipinos here classify their money remittances to their family as 'donation' and use that as claimable deduction. Mautak, pag na-audit, …

@akino Sir, hindi po advisable na every fortnight kau mag grocery kasi mabilis mapanis ang food dito lalo na summer ngayon. Yung mga tinapay usually 5 day expiry, pero sa init ngaun 3-4days pa lang may molds na. Ok yan kung nasa Canada kayo. Ako ar…

@TotoyOZresident I see, October ka pala nag-apply. Kami nung June kami nag-apply tapos July kami nag-exam, then October namin natanggap yung approval. Hassle lang at maghihintay ulit kami para i-resched yung oath taking ng wife ko sa next availabl…

Salamat sa summary lock_code2004. While magandang mag-retire sa pinas kasi mura, ang problema yung medical facilities, wala akong tiwala. At least you can re-acquire dual citizenship anytime, walang time limit. Ang problema lang siguro pag dual eh…

@lock_code2004 Kaya ka ba mag-aapply sa embassy dahil automatic renounce na yung fil citizenship mu? 90AUD, lahat na lang pagkakakitaan. Thanks, I will think about it.

mj4, pack and send seems to be a reliable company mahal nga lang rates nila. Is it worth the effort ba? kasi yung sony store dito sa brisbane cbd naka sale yung bravia 40" nila ng $550 na lang, yung 55" smart LED nila is less than $1100.
