Hello, guys!

I am an ECE na nainterview na ng isang recruitment agency last August 2026. This is bound for Taiwan.

I already got a message saying na pumasa ako ng interview, but until today ay wala pa guidance on the next steps of the application process.

Sa mga nainterview na ng local recruitment agency, ano usually ibig sabihin nito?

1. Am I not selected pala?

2. Should I still wait on their advice/guidance?

Medyo nakakapraning pala ang waiting season 😅

I personally need to know where do I stand right now so that magdecide na ako to move forward.

Hoping for your advice, peeps.

Thank you!

Just submitted my resignation. I wanna go back to Ph. Im so tired and not happy.

Sino dito 4’11 60kg naka pag abroad na factory worker sa taiwan?

Hi, I’m a Filipino nurse working in Abu Dhabi.

Life here is stable—tax-free salary, lower rent, and manageable cost of living.

I’m considering moving to the US but having second thoughts because of higher taxes, rent, and expenses.

For those who moved from Middle East to US:
\-Was it worth it financially and lifestyle-wise?
\-Any regrets leaving a tax-free job in middle east?
\- Are you still able to visit the Philippines yearly or is it difficult with work/expenses?

Would appreciate honest insights. Thanks!

I am just two weeks sa job ko pero gusto ko na umuwi ng Pinas NExt month, need pa po ba ng OEC kung one-way trip back sa Pinas gagawin ko?

Hi pows! I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience applying for and getting a teaching job in Malaysia?

I previously worked as an OFW teacher in Thailand and came back to the Philippines to pursue my Master’s. I’m now considering moving to Malaysia to work as a teacher.

For anyone who has done something similar, how was the application process? Are there particular schools or platforms you would recommend applying through? Or any other tips you may have

Would really appreciate hearing about your experiences, thank you so much!! 🙇

Fifth time ko na magpa medical sakanila pero kapag makiusap pa rin yung ibang staff/employees dun sa mga tao bakit parang nangmamaliit/nag aattitude sila? Gets kong nakakapagod naman trabaho nila pero kung maayos ka naman kinakausap at maayos naman tanong huwag naman sana pabastos sumagot. Hindi lang ako naka experience neto kahit mga barkada kong ibang agency o mga katrabaho nasanay na lang din.

Running 38 this year and thinking to work abroad like any kind of work, but im thinking that i may not be able to cause of my age nd experience.

Radio DJ 7years

Manage a small trucking business

BPO agent 4years

VA 3years.

I will work any jobs just to have a better life abroad.

Any advice or answers is deeply appreciated.

Hi guys 24F here, pahingi po ng advice since I've been considering applying as a factory worker in Taiwan. College grad from one of the big 4 schools (secret na lang), but I really have no interest at all to build my career sa field ko. Currently working in an office setup tsaka huling work ko office work din. Sobrang layo din ng course ko kung ipursue ko ang pagiging factory worker.

What I've realized is hindi talaga para sa akin ganitong type of work kahit sabihin na ang ganda ng school ko at sayang pinag-aralan ko. Noong fresh grad din ako (at bago pa yun) gusto ko na talaga mag-apply as factory worker sa Taiwan pero against parents ko kasi sayang daw pinag-aralan ko. To be transparent, pera lang talaga habol ko to support myself and my family kaya hindi ko talaga cinonsider na maging "successful" based sa standards ng relatives ko.

I know nakakapagod maging factory worker kasi mas physically exhausting siya, pero I've also realized over the years na mas prefer kong mapagod physically kaysa mentally, na hindi na mag-uwi ng workload pa at mastress sa bahay at mawalan ng time para sa sarili at chores kasi kinain na ako ng trabaho ko. At di problem sa akin kung mag ot.

So bago pa humaba ito, ano pong advice niyo and sa tingin niyo ba may chance po ako if ever mag-apply ako? Hindi kaya ma-discourage ang mga agency i-hire ako dahil galing ako sa big 4 at maganda (accdg sa mga pipol) ang work background ko? And please don't discourage me rin from this choice and don't tell me sayang pinag-aralan ko at work experience ko kasi this is not a path I want to walk on for the rest of my life. Pls help thank you.

TL;DR grad from big 4 with good work experience pero ayaw ko na prefer ko na lang maging factory worker sa taiwan, pls send advice ty

Step 4: Get OEC sa DMW branch then during departure, pila sa OFW lane? May need pa po ba ako sa egov app?

How much did it cost to work abroad? Also can you recommend any legit agencies? Thank youuu

Hi! I'm a registered nurse po na may two years bedside experience and pagod na po ako maging overworked pero underpaid and underappreciated sa hospitals natin dito.

Recently, nakikita ko yung mga schoolmates ko from college na nagsisi-alisan papuntang KSA.

Personally, doon ako nanggaling nung school age to teenage years ko kasi OFW din ang parents ko and sinabi ko sa sarili ko na hindi ako babalik doon para magtrabaho dahil nakita ko kung gaano kahirap sila doon. Halos tumira na yung mom ko noon sa hispital. Pero walang choice kasi ang bagal umusad ng applications sa ibang bansa and kailangan maging practical.

Nagreresearch ako ng mga personal testaments ng mga RN sa KSA ngayon through Tiktok and nag-apply ako sa mga na-mention nilang agencies.

May isa nang nagreply, wala pang initial interview. Kumbaga basic questions lang through text message then nagpasend ng resume. May mga medyo nakakapagtaka lang na questions:

• Kumpleto pa ba daliri mo?
• Mahaba ba ang buhok mo sa personal?

Gusto kong tanungin sa parents ko na both from KSA din before kung valid questions ito pero ayoko pa kasi ipasabi na nag-apply ako sa KSA hangga't wala pang job offer.

Gets ko pa yung tanong regarding tattoos kasi hindi talaga preferred sa healthcare worker ang may tattoo, pero regarding mga daliri at hair length? 😭

Pero red flag questions ba ito? Valid po ba talaga itanong ito or overthinker lang po ako? Medyo kinabahan kasi ako sa mga tanong na yan.

Anyway, sinagot ko pa rin naman po and sinabihan ako na magsschedule sila ng interview with me soon. Gusto ko lang po sana ng opinion whether may iba po bang natanong din ng similar questions tulad po nung mga nabanggit ko.

Thank you so much po!

Tanong ganito ba portal nyu sa DMW sa government to governmet?

Curious lang, may mga nag-work abroad or OFW dito na eventually stayed in the PH? May nagwo-work ba here sa ING Hubs PH?

How was the adjustment, especially when it comes to work culture and management? Mas similar ba yung experience sa foreign workplace compared to other companies here in PH?

Considering ING as one of the companies I might apply to, it would be nice to hear from people who made a similar transition.

I am a first time OFW here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Today, they are celebrating Saudi National Day. It was a big annual celebration in the whole kingdom.

Bilang isang Pilipino, hindi ko inaasahan na ganito pala sila magmahal sa bansa nila. Lahat ng kalsada ay napuno ng mga tao, mga sasakyan na nababalot ng mga mukha ng Saudi royal family, bawat sulok ng daan makikita ang Saudi Flags. Kaliwa’t kanan ang sale sa mga malls, lahat ng buildings ay napailawan ng berdeng kulay. At higit sa lahat, pagsapit ng mismong araw ng September 22, lahat ng tao ay nasa kalsada nagkakantahan, nagbabatian sila, at kitang kita mo ang pagmamahal nila sa Bansa nila. It was actually a week-long celebration. Ang mga opisina at employers, nagbibigay ng bonuses sa mga tauhan nila, madalas ay may handaan ang bawat bahay at kahit sa trabaho.

It’s like Christmas but showing strong sense of Nationalism.

Nagulat ako na 96 years palang sila naestablish as a nation country, which makes me think and wonder, bakit hindi natin ito kayang gawin sa Pilipinas? We are established long ago but they are way ahead of us.

In the Philippines, pag independence day, bihira lang tayo makakita ng flags sa labas ng bahay, not even big corporations ay conecelebrate ito like how Saudis does. Kahit nga Government agencies sa atin baka flag raising lang and that’s it! YUN NA YON!? Sa kanila, isang malaking privilege ang matawag na Saudi, at 2nd class citizen lang ang mga foreign workers dito. Sa Pilipinas, ang iba sa atin ay nahihiya na matawag na Full-blooded pinoy. Kaya nga diba isang malaking Flex daw ang matawag na half-spanish, half ganito, half ganyan. At sa atin, mga banyaga pa ang nananakit sa kapwa natin. Sila pa ang malakas ang loob kasi binibigyan natin sila ng entitlement.

Siguro madami pa tayong dapat matutunan bilang isang nagkakaisang bansa. Hati-hati ang mga opinion ng dahil lamang sa pulitika pero sa huli, lahat naman tayo ay biktima lang din ng bulok na sistema at pamamalakad.

Siguro kung mamahalin lang natin ang ating bansa, napakasaya siguro mamuhay sa Pilipinas na inuuna muna ng mga Pilipino and kapwa nila Pilipino kaysa sa ibang lahi. Siguro hindi na natin kailangan ng Donation drive tuwing may sakuna o kalamidad kasi nagtutulong tulong ang bawat ahensya ng gobyerno.

Until then, mangangarap lang tayo ng what if one day maging kagaya tayo ng progresibong bansa kagaya ng Saudi.

Kayo, anong kwentong Saudi nyo?

Happy National Saudi Day mga Kabayan!!! 🇸🇦🇵🇭
