[quote="Nephi"]Eto naman sa akin, Ako yung taong kumikita ng 100K a month sa pinas, Taga- Mandaluyong, may bahay, kotse at masarap na gimik gabi gabi!
Kinabahan sa pag migrate sa NZ baka kasi magkamali ako.
Pero sulit ang lahat! Eto ang buhay na hinahanap ko...
Masasabi ko na kahit may 20Million ako sa pinas, bibilhin ko ang buhay dito, kung pwede lang! Pero kailangan ng tyaga at sikap...
Sa akin malinis na libreng tubig sa NZ sapat na para iwanan ang pinas para sa akin... Araw araw na tampisaw sa Beach ng NZ sulit na sulit na, para bng araw araw kang naliligo sa boracay na wala kng binabayaran, (Pero hindi pwede ikumpara kasi para sa akin mas maganda pa ang beach dito kesa boracay).
Tubig pa lang ayus na, nde ko na sasabihin ang Hangin, klima, libreng education sa bata na hindi Ka level ng Taga Ateneo or La Salle! Dahil nde naman kilala yan ng mga first world na bansa at etc, marami pa...... Dun pa lang tapos na ang Comparison...
Yun eh sa akin lang![/quote]

Cost of Living VS Expenses.
Philippines Vs NZ
(Ratio)
Philippines P500 a day.
NZ(Minimum)12.50/HR x 8 = $100 a day.
Gasoline Unleaded, 50 liters
Phil 50 x 49.75 = 2487.5
NZ 50 x 1.99 = 99.5
So Phil(office boy/girl) almost 5 days nyang trinabahu yung pang gas nya.
NZ(Crew sa Mcdo/KFC) almost 1 day nyang trinabahu.
Food Example Beef Steak!
Phil P250/Kilo = half day nyang trinabaho
NZ $12/Kilo = Isang oras trinabaho
Education
La Salle/Ateneo????(3rd world) 100K per sem. plus baon, service at etc.
NZ schools = Free (recognized worldwide)
Para kang nagpa aral sa British school sa the Fort or sa Brent sa pasig or any international school sa Phils. pero uubos ka ng 500K a year, samantalang dito libre...(Kung Resident ka)
Housing (Wag na sobrang mahal dito hehehehehe)
Isipin mo na lang na yung binabayad mo sa bahay, Tution ng anak mo sa International school.
Medical
Bypass sa puso, surgery etc.
NZ = Free
Phil.= Ubos ang retirement benefits, lubog pa sa utang, patay pa!
For me compare sa lifestyle ko sa Manila, mas mura dito... Pero Damit, electronics, Bisyo kung meron ka.
Da best ang Pinas...
Ganyan ko sya tignan, so kung medyo skilled ang work mo dito mas maganda kita mo...
Meron pa, Kotse??? Grabe mura dito, parang celphone na kahit every 6 months pwede ka magpalit.
RX7,RX8, SKYLINE, 350Z, etc. kayang kaya mo mabili, kung nasa pinas ka, kailangan anak ka lang ni Lucio Tan o mga pulitikong Corrupt...
Yun eh sa akin lang naman...

| While undoubtedly there are so many benefits migrating to New Zealand, the would be migrants (i.e. particularly WTR visa holders), however, will have to face several risks in going here. Not all WTR visa holders are successful and I think the success ratio is around 50% (please correct me if I am wrong). Factors such as the so called NZ work experience, professional registration, day to day expenses while looking for work, new culture etc...will make or break new migrants. To minimise these risks, check and ensure that your skills are employable(i.e. high demand), allocate enough budget while job searching, adapt to Kiwi culture as soon as you can and touch base with Filipino organisations in NZ. If you intend to migrate with your family, it would be better that the principal applicant moves first in NZ to minimise costs and ensure that residency is obtained before bringing the entire family. There are so many sad stories that some families are going back to our country without success. It really hurts. This is not to discourage migrants but going here needs a lot of planning, hard work and prayers. |

Yes, jss63 is correct. All those wonderful benefits people have been telling you comes at a steep price - residency. No residency, no NZ benefits.
Baka naman kasi nasisilaw ka sa mga pinagsasabi namin dito sa iyo. Yes, you get all of this and more too - if you can get residency. Filipinos get residency through the skilled migrant category, and the success rate, as jss63 would say, is against us Filipinos. Unless your skills are so technical and desirable, the chances of getting residency is slim to none.
Usually those who was the best chance of success are those is the engineering, agriculture or science industry. As I mentioned previously, a dairy farmer or farm vet in the Philippines have a relatively better chance of making it in NZ as against a high powered corporate executive in those swanky buildings in Makati. |

| Why don't you try to tailor your resume Kiwi style and apply for work? It won't hurt to try and maybe you might get a job offer. If you don't get a job offer then you can ask for inputs as to how to increase your chances. Good luck. |

Nice: No need to pay for check-ups and no hospital fees if your wife/partner (PR status) gives birth.
Not nice: No helper, No yaya. You can ask your parents to come and help you though.
Good for single moms (PR status) who are under gov't benefits. If I'm not mistaken, I think a single mom can receive around NZD$700+/week. |

@Levi : I made a roundtrip booking na and preparing some answers in case ma-interrogate why I made roundtrip instead of one-way. Hopefully, it will fly. Targetting 4-6mos stay in pinas when we come back then will move permanently to NZ. Hopefully, this will work as I have not heard anyone with similar situation. Yes, I'm grateful indeed to get nz residency. Di din biro ang mga tiniis at sinugal namin to get that. I'm glad I'm not alone coz there are other people who have given up much more than what we have to give up...and they succeeded! truly an inspiration to someone like me who is at a crossroad.
thanks for all your sharing! |
