Living Abroad Vs Living In The Philippines?

Practicality. I'd choose to live in PH but for better opportunites I chose abroad specifically in Shengen countries ☺️

Depends on country you will be living in modernized first world countries such as japan or singapore is safe and peaceful but expensive. Other first world countries such as those in europe and americas are good places to explore especially their culture but again expensive and safety is in question. For me many do still get homesick and many still want to return to the ph after a while

I will be leaving for another Asian country 1/1.   4 years contract.  Tama lang, di gaano matagal.  Ipon lang kahit P1M.  Tapos balik uli Pinas.  Masarap talaga sa Pinas lalo na yung pares, lugaw, saka longanisa.

Basta makaipon lang ng konti balik na agad kasi nakakamiss sarap ng Pinay, este, Pinas.

For small business, a good place to live abroad is Dubai. Especially if you no vices like alcohol and women.

Daym, di ako pwede.  🤩

Retire in PH probably. Iba parin yung pagkaing pinoy, at yung pwede kang lumabas at bumili sa kanto kung nagugutom ka kahit hating gabi na.

Depends really on personal preference and goals

Home sickness kalaban sa abroad. Mas ok pa rin talaga sa pinas, kasama ang tropa. 😎

Work abroad and spend your money in PH 10x the value ☺️

Sobra naman 10x  Hindi na comparable yan.   Kasi kung pagpag kakainin mo sa Pinas, eh mura din or same price lang pagpag sa Japan. 

Dapat comparable.  So a $30 meal in Japan would be like $12 sa Pinas, so 2.5x.

It's realistic. I used to work in SG at max salary of 12K SGD a month compared to what I'm earning in PH which is only 60K-75K. So I can say almost 10x ang value when I went back. 😜🤤

What did you do in SG?  Why go back home for 75k?

Culture Experience. Iba pa rin talaga culture kapag Pinoy. Yung hospitality trait talaga yung mapapansin nyo talaga once nasa abroad na kayo. Walang pake yug mga foreigners

Sorry to hear.

I live abroad.  Just come home every so often to check on things.  I can honestly tell you our culture is fast disappearing.  Iba na ang pilipino ngayon.  If you have the time to go to Indonesia, it is like the Phils 40 years ago where people are not so cynical.  Dito yung pangkaraniwang tao kung magsalita panay Pakita ng attitude!  Now let’s talk about pinoy ofw’s.  Go to Vancouver and observe 2 year contract pinoys who work in the food industry.  I am convinced that these were not isolated.  Kapag pinoy ang crew ng fast food, observe how they are with fellow pinoy customers.  About a third of the time, pinaaandaran ako.  Just because I spoke in tagalog.  Pero pag puti ang kausap, napaka torpe!  Conclusion: depende sa social background ng pinoy.  Kung sa pinas asal squatter, kahit saan mo dalhin lalabas at lalabas ang breeding.  Sa mga Mababa ang pinagaralan, para sa kanila being nice is a sign of weakness.  And there are more like them now, product of bad economics, poor education and poor parenting!
