There are some positives na man of working sa Pinas....
Hindi inaasahan na matatangal ako sa SG (Pass renewal rejected), at ngayon na naka settle na ako ulet sa pinas, etoh lang masasabi ko. For all the obvious reasons why we choose to work in SG (money, safety, efficiency, government, public transport, etc) when I think about life holistically, and purpose of life, and your purpose of being in this world, meron din na man pang bato ang Pinas... these are some of the things i realised
1. Sa PH, di mo ma f-feel second class citizen ka. Sa work life, home life, social life....
2. You will uncover new depths of depression in SG that you never thought was possible. Sa pinas truly happy ka and you know it.
3. Sa SG.. you're always thinking money. money money money. savings. kase pag gumastos ka, parang isip mo palagi should i have saved that. coz if your'e not saving in SG ano purpose na pinunta mo dun.
4. Hard to envisage 'forever' in the long term sense sa SG. Unless you are PR or Citizen (which is practically so out of reach now), time is always short sighted for you never know when you'll eventually have to leave. Quality of life as a result isn't as 'abundant' as it should be.
5. You will feel yourself worth more sa Pinas. Daming jobs, you get multiple job offers. Sa SG para kang ewan ko parang you're never good enough. See #1.
6. Mas mabango at malinis ang mga kilikili ng mga lalaki ng mga pinoy. Mas masarap amuyin at himurin. So smorgasboard galore kung na sa pinas ka. Lalo na pag sumakay sa jeep dami gwapo na ka sando lang kita buhok ng kilikili nila.
7. Mas marami kang family/friends network support sa pinas. Palagi ka masaya,
8. You feel like you're living your true life sa pinas. I feel repressed sa SG, kahit na matagal ako dyan, parang di ko feel na sarili ko. Like it's some short fake temporary life I was living.
I'm still greatful though for my SG experience, and just wanted to write lang that there are also positives din when coming back to Pinas (coz it's the one thing i feared the most the entire time I was there, and now that it's happened.. well.. it's not so bad afterall din pala :-) )
Obviously na ka ipon ako which is why siguro happy ako sa life sa pinas (choose to live close to work,investments etc) so sa mga bagets dyan encourage ko pa rin kayo mag SG, pero make sure you save your hard earned money lang and be prepared for the emotional side and life adjustment...

Stop and smell the flowers ikaw nga nila, in your case you stopped and smelled the armpits.
All the best to you!
Sana ako makatuloy din and makaipon ako. Aminin natin, mahirap din kasi magipon din dito sa pinas. Unless yung sweldo mo sa sg is kaya mo makuha here.
May mga MNCs, startups kasi nag ng oopen ng offices sa Pinas at nag ooffer ng same package, so posible na kitain sa Pinas yung salary dito for select industries nga lang, then the issue of withholding tax comes in, but still posible naman.
I still have a lot of friends and batchmates na nag succeed naman ang careers sa Pinas at happy naman sa mga kinikita nila and also managed to start their own families as well with that income, siguro nga a matter of perspective din as well outlook and desires in life, but FINANCIAL LITERACY helps a lot though. Actually I've doing some math recently na kung i-factor in yung cost of living expenses dito, pretty much I get the same net salary na with the current industry rate in my line of work sa Pinas minus the tax. Pwede na din siguro umuwi pero I am avoiding the hassle of traffic, pag natapos na mga infra projects uwi na din siguro.
Case to case basis din, each of us has our own battles ika nga. Most cases siguro OFWs may mga extended or bigger family na kailangan i-support otherwise some OFWs not just about salary they just prefer to be a citizen of the world than stay in PH.
Is it difficult to live in the PH with the current industry salary rates for every industry? Yes it is, but not impossible.
I've been to both. Minsan, contentment plays a big factor why people stay where they are. After working for more than a decade here, I was able to save up din naman (kahit di ganon kalakihan), bought a house for the family and car. Pero grabeng tipid ang kinailangan kong gawin to achieve those. It took me years. Unlike siguro sa iba, a year of working abroad lang...more than those pa na-achieve nila.
Mas okay pa rin dito syempre because you're with your family and mas masaya if well funded ka.
at yung local vs MNC... ganyan din dito... api api ang mga local companies compares to the global MNCs in terms of benefits and pay...
One thing is for sure.. as long as you're working for someone, you'll never get rich... no matter what country you're in! Amen.

Naisip kita biga @Suddenly_Susan . sana maganda kalagayan mo ngayon, and update us sa mga kilikili adventurings mo.
Another thing that's good about pinas.. Dito sa pinas feel na feel mo ang pasko. Sobrang saya, and hindi malungkot katulad sa SG hehe.
Feel mo na rin ba ang traffic and ang very long weekend dahil sa asean?
yan din ang maganda sa pinas.. daming public holidays hehe. bilang sa dalawang kamay ang public holiday sa sg hehehehe.
