me, i've been there last 2001. ang bond fee pa namo ato kay 37k pa and then free board and lodging and also free pa jud among lunch or dinner. my agency that time was JS Contractor.

nice kaayo to time na naa ko didto kay maka tigom jud ko eventhough ang akong sweldo kay 22k ra anyway daghan man sad mi OT ato. dako kaayo na tabang nako ang taiwan ato na time but unfortunately nowadays morag gi negosyo na karon sa mga employer and agency ang taiwan grabeh na kaayo ang pangwarta nila and then inig abot nimo didto kay gamay ra ka ug sweldo. i was shock when 1 of my friend told me that ang ilang contract offer nimo didto kay same lang gihapon sa among gi pirmahan last 2001. damn!! they really don't change. ang naka apan pa jud didto if didto ka mag work kay grabeh kaayo ang racial descrimination sa mga taiwanese at work.

If you are planning to go to Taiwan nowadays. I would suggest that you should think about it several times and try to ask people that been there.

This thread really helps to those people that are planning to go there...

worked for acer before (1998-2001). nindot pa to kay cebu city government (DMDP) ang nag-sponsor so direct ang employment. no placement fee. u just have to process for the requirements like passport, physical exam, etc and pay the required fees. gamay ra jud akong gasto ato mga more or less 20k.

during that time kay ang base pay was NT$17k++ with additional NT$2k every renewal of contract. if hataw kay moabot mi usahay ug NT$30k. naa pa mi mga extra incentives ato like birthday gift, chinese new year bonus, performance bonus, golden week, dragon boat, moon cake festival, etc.

i've heard bati na ron i-adto kay u have to pay na daw ur board & lodging which was FREE during our time. our dorm room kay sus nagtagsa jud mi ug PC then naa pa jud mi appliances like TV & ref but now kay dili na daw pwede.

nindot mo-work sa taiwan or any other place basta u know how to save & use ur money. i never had any regrets kay nakatigom jud ko ug nakapundar for my small business. i've gained lots of taiwanese friends whom i still have contact with until now.

one thing sad ako na experience in Taiwan ang mga dorm coordinators nga kusog sad mangwarta... d man siguro tanan pero naa jud mo take advantage. Pag daun nakog uli, hapit mi nag away sa amo cooridnator 'cause nakoy bayrunon nga 11K, discrepancy daw sa mga payables to think nga accurate kaug mga deductions ang brooker, like wa joy palta, kada sweldo (every 5th) deduct jud. So lalis mi, then suko sya saying "ba't ang iba nag babayad kaagad, wala ng tanong2x." After that, I tore the paper and commotion started. I was advised to let it go, otherwise, mas tuohan daw sa mga police ang mga coordinators, especially that they are fluent in mandarin. Basin sad daw d ko mka daun uli, so I left with a heavy heart and hoping to see him here.... papilion lang to nko, headlock, rear naked choke, arm bar...hehe... bitaw mka lagot tawhana.... Yes I paid, some of the fees were justifiable man sad, naa lay mka duda....
