Sa uban dira nga kailangan kaayo ang kwarta para pakaon sa ilang pamilya, ayaw mo padala sa mga tsismis. If di mo maningkamot walay grasya mahatag ang Ginoo.

If you talk about being safe...Despite of being a woman myself...I would say that,Staying in the middle east is far safer than living in Cebu or any part in the Philippines, ask me why?
As long as you stay modest.
Don't walk alone in dark streets/roads, stay indoors during wee hours.

While in Cebu or Phils. I can't wear some costly stuff, like I had a rayban which I want to wear kay it's summer then my mom will tell me, don't wear it kc basin maholdap tah.Kaila daw ang isntcher ug mahalon.
-You can't freely use your cp kc naay daghan isnatcher, manunggab.
-Maski gamay nga ariyos basta gold, delikado kay labnihon sa isnatcher, putol ang dunggan.
-Igpaghot sa iro igkagabii kuyawan tah maski naa tah sulod sa ato haus we feel unsafe kay atimana ang tulisan, akyat bahay ug uban pah.
-Mga amahan mounay ug rape sa anak or paryente mounay sa kaliwat nga bata patyon pa igkahuman.
-Political-motivated killings are so rampant.
-drug addict pwerte daghana.
-Street children/rugby boys nagkalat.
-Dili ka kapahospital or doktor if wa kay kwarta.
-Di kah basta makapalit or makadrive or nindot nga sakyanan kay naay carnapper ga-atang.

To top it all, Sad to say, but the abovementioned is present in the Phils. which is not in saudi or in some other middle eastern countries.If naa man gani, very seldom lang kaayo mahitabo and dali ra sad kaayo madakpan ug silotan ang kinsa man gani ang nihimo sa krimen, dili parehas sa Pinas, paghut sa buwan hustisya.


If I we're to say, we must adapt some laws from the gulf region, it will minimize the number of crime rate, especially henious crime.

Working with arabs is far better than working with fellow filipinos na grabe ug crab mentality.
Hilas rah kaayo neh uban diri mosulti about Arab people which I dunno if pila lang nila ang nakadeal jud ug Arab.

Arab people especially the pious & educated ones are very polite, respectful towards women collegues compare to other nationalities.
Wala tah kahibaw sah tinood istoryah aneh bayhana why neh sya na-rape ug na-rape jud kaha?

I wana repost this coz this is exactly how i feel too..u think safe ang phils or cebu and more justifiable ang system??think again...GCC countries are the safest places in the world.. ayaw lang jud mo pa tanga tanga coz this is were everybody in the enire planet, from all walks of life is here...smacked in the middle. different cultures, different backgrounds.

pero kinsa man ang country na nabutang sa guiness na pinaka violent? pilipinas lang gihapon ang daug. so i rest my case. if u are here, be cautious, read about thier law and dont hesitate to ask.

I just think that most of the points stated here is justifiable , some might be leaning against or for our country. It's not the laws that keeps us marginalized , its lack of respect for our own kind and our country, the diaspora is just the result of our ailing economy. Who are we to detest such a country that can feed and provide us with our fat checks.We should should be more open to the idea that there is no such culture that does not have stains of corruption and violence connected to it. What I hate the most are pinoys being displeased with the culture where they came from. They do find the country feeding them and tag it as " far better " .... more " more tolerable " and with that condescending their roots. I pity you pinoys condescending our nation. I know that there are two sides of the coin, more or less we have to settle both sides and weigh it over. BUT to directly point out your fingers to our own, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED....! We are filipino's wherever our feet takes us.. still have the same line of blood from which those people that were victimized and maltreated.

We are not arguing sa culture for being such as "fat cheek filipinos".

Nice to hear somebody saying this... it really change my point of view towards arabs. Well yeah... about pinoys being a crab, almost every company ngare naa gyuy mr. crab. Kulang nalang si spongebob pareson silang mr. crab. Other than crab mentality naa puy uban ngare dili professional sa ilang work. Especially some HR guys. If you harass an applicant during interview, try to look your self in the mirror if you are doing the right thing. Oh, well... wala man pud ko nangigo ngare share lang kos exp.

.. ha ashamed ?? of what of stating the obvious that the philippines sucks. dude, it's you that is blind, look at the state of our nation, tell me, what is it ? Is it good, is our leaders taking good care of it's people The reason why most filipinos venture out and work abroad is the very fact that life in the philippines sucks. Why, is it wrong to say something good about the country that gives you FAT CHECKS ??


.. the problem with you is you're ignorant to the issue at hand. Look at it at a bigger perspective, don't be myopic.





.. anyway, back to the topic in hand .... i've only been in Taif, KSA for roughly two months now, working as an optometrist at Hebah Optics. And on my little observation, life here in KSA, well, Taif to be exact, is boring. I have nothing to do here, work, clinic, work, clinic. But the only consolation is that i'm very spoiled with my employer. But as to leisure, bbbaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, forget about it.
