Why Do Pinoys And Pinays Go To Dubai


Recommended Posts

mga bro. swertihan lang talaga ang pagiging ofw esp sa middle east pero imho tho di pa ako nakapunta sa dubai may mga kilala ako dito seems much better coz more "open" than saudi. pwede alak but not in public, may simbahan.

 

sabi nga nung baguhan ako, dapat medyo halang ang bituka mo pag mag-ofw ka. lakasan lang ng loob. pag minalas, naka-crate ka pag-uwi sa naia

 

main problem - HOMESICK. yan ang binabayaran. HOMESICK vs. $

 

GO!

 

* patubo na kayo ng bigote at balbas... type ng mga arabo ang pilipini...makinis sarap beso-beso

hala lagoooot

 

makipag-holding hands ka pero wag ka magpapa-akbay. wag ka sasama mag-isa, baka sa disyerto ka dalhin. pag may naghitch sa iyo SADIK WER IS GO? ingat, esp pag baguhan, pero most probably "taxi" service lang habol nun...private cars na ginagawang prang-taxi, fix rate. huwag mapapraning dami namang mga kabayan doon na mababait at pwede din namang kababayan mo magpahamak sa iyo...

 

trust in yourself and in God.

madaming pinoy sa dubai na walang work, nag transit ako dun ng 3 days, lumabas ako sa terminal, kasi kasama sa ticket ko pwede mag stay 3 days. During day time nag-malling ako, shopping, napagod ako umupo muna ako sa bench dun sa gitna ng mall, may nakausap ako grupo ng pinoy, mga wala silang job at 1 or 2x lang sila nakakakain, kala nila kasi taga Dubai ako, nag ask sila sa akin kung may alam akong place na pwede sila mag work, kasi wala na silang pambayad ng renta, sabi ko nag transit lang ako ng 3 days, naawa ako, nilibre ko sila sa Mcdo dun, nakalungkot tinamad nako mamasyal for that day, buti nalang may nakilala akong russian prostitute sa bar ng hotel ko nung gabi, nakalimutan ko lungkot ko

common wage of the common man: 1500-3000dhs

 

EXPENSES:

 

accomodation:

bedspace: DXB - 400-700 per head / SHJ - 300-500 per head

job expectancy: don't waste a single day looking for a job, except if it's a friday or a holiday because of the competition as earlier mentioned on the previous posts. in my company alone(Aramex), since I'm the once tasked of checking the incoming faxes, we get a minimum of 100cv's everyday and our HR dept only calls 3% of the applicants 1-2x/month...

current exchange rate: 13.47PHP - 1DH

 

 

 

 

***SHJ = Sharjah, the emirate next to DXB wherein most Filipinos also settle because of the lower accomodation fees...

 

 

 

 

note for the people who would like to go here: you can't sleep under the Maktoum bridge as what the movie "Dubai" narrates...

For people reading this thread, most infos are accurate

 

I've been here for the past 2 years. Every year competition is getting tougher and tougher and sadly wages are getting lower and lower.

 

Aside from work experience, lots a luck and determination ang kailangan if you want to survive as a visit visa here in dubai, lalu na ngayon na may ruling na that 2 exits nalang add to that kabayans who are below twenty five are no longer allowed to work.

 

Anyway, share ko din sa inyo.....I sponsored my sister and my cousin to come here in dubai. They arrive here march 16, 2007. I guess both of them were quite lucky cause after a couple of weeks both of them landed jobs. My sister now works for RAKBank and my cousin works for al ansari exchange.(yun nga lang resign kagad, lumipat sa al quoz para maging DCS).

 

Swertihan din talaga cause nun panahon ko, nag exit muna ko sa kish before I landed a job.

Sa mga pu2nta ng dubai at magvi2sit visa mas maganda pumunta ng Dec-March para malamig ngaun xe july mainit dto sa dubai sobra, summer xe dto july at august. Mahirap maghanap ng trabaho pag summwer umuuwi xe ang mga foreigner na may ari ng mala2king compny sa dubai at nagva2cation naman ang maya2mang arabo sa europe o kya sa america.

 

Nag visit visa rin ako swerte naman nkahanap agad ako ng trabaho.

 

Madali maghanap pag may experience n.

 

Kya advice ko lang mag-experience muna sa pinas bago pumunta ng dubai xe hanap tlaga dto ung may skills na.

 

Pero pag Engineer k pede kna In-demand tlaga engineeer dto.

 

Ako nga 2 weeks p lng ako dto nkahanap n agad ako ang bilis.

 

Ingat n lng sa immigration mahigpit cla ngaun lalo ng sa mga girl.

 

Un lang ang ipa2yo ko sa mga gustong mag visit visa

just wondering lang ang mura pala ng chinese san mo sila nakilala at makukuha? deira or satwa? the last time gusto ko gumimik e napunta ako ng deira at dami dun motel ng offer pero lintek na mga pana yan na pimp, kailangan mo muna magbigay ng entrance fee sa motel bago mo makita yung mga babae so since first time lang nagbigay ako ng 20 aed. nakita ko mga babae, mga 5-6 ang itsura pero di ako pumatol at nag suvey ako!! putsa sabi ko ibang lugar naman kaya lang ganun din s amotelk kailangan ng entrance fee kaya yun bulilyaso.. :thumbsdownsmiley:

i have nothing againts my kababayans going here in dubai...kse nga naman swertehan lang naman ang kpalaran nga tao...sabi nga nila whatever happen to pedro might not happen to juan.Just a small reminder na sana be ready anuman ang inaasahan nyong marranasan d2.Life here is difficult...kung ano man ang sarap or ayos ng buhay mo dyan sa pinas,here it will be entiely different.

Mahirap ang buhay dyan sa atin kya nga marami na nakikipagsapalaran but sana isipin ninyo maigi..kse mas nakakahiya ang bumalik dyansa atin after spending a lots of money in the process,di ba.

Nasabi na nila ang mga negative aspects of living and looking for a job here...tindi ng competition.If ur ready to accept stiff competition from other nationalities na tumatanggap ng cheap salary..then go ahead.Kaso nga lang napkakababa tlga..

ang pinaka safe na praan and cgurado is to apply sa mga POEA accredited na Agencies.

D2 kse ur on ur own..unless my kamaganak ka na susuporta sa yo sa panganagailangan mo while looking for a job...

 

Good luck na lang....

if u have any questions just pm me.
