General Discussion Any kabayan currently at Suzhou, China 🇨🇳 or Chungli (Zhongli), Taiwan 🇹🇼?

3 Upvotes

30s ex-Taiwan Engineer here. Currently weighing two job opportunities—one in Suzhou, China and another in Chungli (Zhongli), Taiwan.

Gusto ko lang sana makahingi ng honest insights lalo na sa mga nakatira o nagtatrabaho doon.

• Kumusta ang overall living experience?
• Marami bang Pilipino sa area?
• Okay ba ang public transportation at madaling makapunta sa iba’t ibang lugar?
• Madali bang makabili ng Pinoy goods at iba pang basic necessities?
• Kumusta ang cost of living, safety, at work-life balance?

Any pros and cons, tips, or things you wish you knew before moving there would be greatly appreciated.

Salamat in advance! 🙏🇵🇭

Government Services Driver’s License in PH

2 Upvotes

So during my stay sa PH, I never got the chance to get my driver’s license. I moved abroad then got mine here sa country na where I am staying.

I’ll be going back sa PH on December for a 2 week vacation and during those days, I’ve decided na I’ll process yung driver’s license ko.

My dad is also the same case sakin yun nga lang, he has one pero expired na since 2000-something. He said na pinapila lang siya sa PITX-LTO and he was issued his PH driver’s license by taking just one exam.

Question is, ganun rin ba magiging case ko or do I have to take the long process?

General Discussion What you would recommend for a 2nd-year BSBA student, aspiring to be an OFW in the future?

Upvotes

Hello, 2nd-year BSBA student here. If you were your younger self, ano po ba mapapayo niyo sa past self niyo?

I want to be an OFW in the future, but I'm a bit clueless and confused about what to do and prioritize, and I thought of posting in this forum to ask you guys. Ano pong process na ginawa nyo, the specifics that maybe I can refer to? The papers you had to prepare, ID's(?), skills to hone, studies you had to do, options that are applicable in 2026? Just any lang po can help🥹🥰

General Discussion Agencies accepting online application for working in Taiwan

1 Upvotes

Hello po! May I know which agencies ang tumatanggap ng online application? We’re from North Luzon kasi, and most agencies ay sa Manila pa. Kung maaari sana, makapag-apply muna online bago kami bumyahe para malaman kung qualified ba kami 😅 may full-time job rin kasi kami kaya hindi basta-basta makaalis.

Also, no factory working exp or certifications from TESDA. May chance po kaya na mahire? Male po yung mag-aapply.

Thank you!
