Mistakes 暗网禁区s make in the Philippines by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Did you make any mistakes when you first moved to Philippines? What were they? How did you address your mistakes? Did you learn anything from them? With hindsight, what would you do differently? Are there any tips you ...
I actually moved twice here- and because of the mistakes made during the first time, i started again by preventing them. Number one mistake is probably to hang around too much with other 暗网禁区s. Read More

Actually the airlines themselves are obliged to ask at check In for the onward tickets, if they let the passengers go onboard without one, they pay a hefty fine (not 100% sure, but i think it was 50.000 US$) and the Philippine immigration is rather ... Read More

There is a lot of stuff about this lately, I would advise (IMHO) not to use any of those options as the immigration is already aware of this possibility and does spot checks on those ticketing. "Where did you buy the ticket? How much did you ... Read More
How and where find a IT Job ? by splouvier
Hi guys, If I start my second post on this site is that I would like your opinion. I would like in the near future to stay in Philippines. Ideally near Cebu (but I can easily travel). I am 30 years old, so I dont have budget to start a business ...
I agree with RodBoud - not only that, but 6 workdays a week are expected in higher positions for half the pay in the West. And if one wants the same food and items like where he comes from, he will pay dearly. (same applies to Pinoys which want ... Read More

The school that I'm working for was supposed to have this student from Spain. He flew all the way from his home country only to say Cebu is dirty as it rained last weekend when he arrived. He left Cebu as soon as he got here. Wow! I know Cebu ...
Not even worth the topic as it happens everywhere in the world. Subjective reports about this or that country/city are not worth the 5 cents of time to read it actually. Even very positive reports have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Maybe the ... Read More

Regardless off the fact that 2 months is a short time etc, the technical advise is simple : Your "fiance" needs to secure your visa in his homeplace, European embassies are (common misconception) NOT in charge of issuing immigrant or ... Read More
