REPOST! kasi dami nag ppm sakin. baka maka tabang pa sa iba mag tipid!

BARYA FOR SCALE

Share ko lang kung pano ako naka tipid mag pa gawa ng engagement ring with IGI certified diamond para sa mga arog ko dati na namahalan sa prices within Bicol or in general The Philippines and gusto maka tipid but reql diamond and good size(1carat-2carat diamond) ang makuha.

English na after digdi ta mas madali i type para sako hahaha.

I recently bought a loose lab-grown diamond (IGI certified) from an Alibaba seller for an engagement ring. The stone arrived exactly as described. IGI cert number matched, specs were accurate, and it looked great in person. I even had it checked locally just to be safe, and everything lined up.

The price! Compared to buying the same specs here in the Philippines, it was roughly 20% of the local price. Even factoring in shipping and fees. (Edit nag bago na ata kasi last year pa to but I bet 20% pa din ng local price)

As for the setting, I just looked for local jewelers here in bicol and had it crafted to my preference. But you can make it so that the Alibaba shop will make it themselves for an additional fee and more delays of course.

I know Alibaba can be hit or miss, so I was careful:
• only considered cert stones pref IGI
• asked for real photos/videos before shipping
• used Trade Assurance

Not saying every seller there is trustworthy, but this one definitely was. If you’re open to lab-grown and don’t mind doing a bit of homework, it can save you a lot of money.

Happy to answer questions if anyone’s curious about the process or the seller.

I can post the diamond here and maybe the cert later if may curious. Sa luwas pa kaya ako haha

Wildlife ZOO - Legazpi City

Is it true that the Wildlife Zoo in Legazpi City is owned by the Co family?

Zaldy Co and his family's firm, Sunwest, drew heavy criticism for receiving billions in DPWH flood control contracts while he served as House Appropriations Chair, raising conflict-of-interest allegations amid severe regional flooding.

LF: reliable agency in Naga/Legazpi for first-time Japan Visa application

Hi everyone!

Planning my first trip to Japan and looking for agency recommendations to process my tourist visa.

Preferably an agency/sub-agent based in Naga City, but Legazpi works fine too. Since this is my first time applying, I want to make sure I go through a reliable agency that will check my requirements properly before submitting.

For those based in Bicol who applied locally, which agency did you use? Did you apply through a local agency that forwarded your docs to Manila, or is it better/faster to just courier them directly to accredited agencies like Rajah, Reli, or Attic?

Appreciate any leads or tips for a first-timer! Thanks!

WFH in Bicol, how do you cope with brownouts?

Hi, everyone working from home in Bicol! I want to go back in Bicol and WFH due to personal reasons.

What do you do whenever there are (unexpected/expected) brownouts and you have WFH? What do you guys do during typhoons and heavy rainfalls forcing to have no internet and electricity? Do you subscribe with Starlink and have generators?

Thank you!

Kasambahay rates in Bicol (Legazpi Area)

Hello. Ask ko lang how much yung pinapasahod ngayon sa mga kasambahay?

For context, I’m currently pregnant and hoping to get a helper before my due date.

If the work covers nannying, cleaning the house, and also taking care of my cats (4). What’s usually the pay?

For cooking, I don’t expect much pwede na siguro yung atleast marunong sa basics. No need naman yung magaling talaga since marunong naman ako mag luto and I usually do meal prep for me and the hubby.

If you have other suggestions also for a better set up, I’m open to hear it. It will be our first time kasi to hire one.
