Kinakabahan ako at parang nakaka stress isipin kung anong food ipabaon.

May nakita kasi ako sa fb na nagbibigay ng 3k pero own visa. Sobrang baba rin nung una kong job dati nakaown visa ako, for the sake lang makakuha ng experience.

Juskodzaiii, hirap makahanap kahit sa Rigga/Deira ng 1,000 below na bedspace or kurtisyon pag solo 😭

Meron akong naview pero kahit di ako maselan, hindi talaga sustainable lalo pag customer-facing yung work :((

Baka meron jan na duo/trio naghahanap ng +1 (lalake po ako na 26yrs old, Le is Git).

Please, near clock tower work ko, pero kahit sa Burjuman banda G lang ako. Plsplspls, will move early September 😭

Nasa Dubai po ako rn bedspace set up kami ng mga kabayan, nirereklamo nila ako kasi malakas daw ako humilik. At takot po akong machismis sa buong flat. Any advice po para matigil yung hilik? Kasi tinatakpan ko po ng unan yung mukha ko bago matulog para incase e hindi sobrang malakas. Ayaw ko pong matrigger ang depression ko kaya nag ask po ako ng help. Wala din po akong friends sa flat namen kasi kakadating ko lang po dito. Salamat po.

hello po, kinakabahan po ako sa octorber po ako lilipad sa uae. fresh grad po ako and no experience madali lang po ba makakakuha ng trabaho? baka po may mga hiring kayo dyan. thank you!

Sa mga nakapag try na makapag cross country sa Thailand from Philippines, strikto po ba ang IO dun sa Thailand?

Ano usual questions po and need na documents

Hi po, I’m a chef po in fine dining restaurant here and just wondering if may mga Filipino po kaya who would like to get UBe basque cheesecake or sour dough pandesal, or pande coco, monggo and UBe but with Japanese milk bread.

It’s because I realize maybe there’s a way naman to showcase Filipino food in elevated way. It’s gonna be more pricey than normal kasi mas mahal ingredients pero di naman exaggerated.

Just asking lang po.

Thank you for feedback.

Yes, you heard it right. 1 week na bukas nung nascam ako 90k dirhams na binuno ko ipunin in 4.5 yrs of consistent saving. Siguro nga karma na din to sa pagiging greedy kasi may nakuha ako nung umpisa hanggang di ko namalayan nabuhos ko na pala buong funds ko. Di ko lubusan maisip na nahulog ako sa ganito knowing na napaka-conservative ko pagdating sa paglalabas ng pera. sobrang kapal lang netong mga ganitong scammer indenial na gusto pa maglabas ako ng additional funds para lang makuha ko yung pera ko.

Ganito pa na employed pero unpaid since June dhil padin sa current situation sa gulf. Working po ako in hospitality that’s why.

Learned my lesson talaga malala. Zero balance sa bank at umaasa sa credit card na alam kong lulubugin ako soon kung di ko maaagapan.

What kind of scam: NFT improving
Website: mooardigital.com
Action: Naraise ko na sa kinauukulan gaya ng Dubai Police at nabigay lahat ng solid evidence at mga tao na kasama sa palakad na to

Any words of wisdom mga kabayan? Naisip ko na yung pinakaworst na pwede kong gawin sa sarili ko pero nilalabanan ko lang. 😭

May mga kabayan na po na nagchat sakin ngayon ngayon lang na ongoing yung transaction nila sa same website and recruiters… please wag na kayo tumuloy. Magkakasabwat yan pati mga bagong agents na inaadd nila sa GC nyo.

Edit: 16 August 2026
Makikita nyo jan sa may comment section yung scammer na napareply na sa post ko hahahaha. Actually, pinipilit nila kong iturn down tong reddit post ko. Siguro wala sila mascam kasi nasesearch na sila sa google 🤣

anyone here who also consumes BL media? i’m a 22 y/o filipina who just arrived 2 weeks ago. i’ve already connected with a few fellow filipinos i found on reddit, but i’ve noticed that it’s hard for me to connect with people who don’t share similar hobbies. i’m naturally an introverted person, bUT i enjoy exploring new places. i love cooking, music, and sometimes just doing absolutely nothing. i’m also currently looking for a job. i’m a very low-maintenance friend, so if we’re similar, just dm me. females only plsss

I am a Filipina with an ex-husband na Filipino. I got divorced here in the UAE. I also petitioned for my marriage annulment in the Philippines na nagrant na last Sep 2025, awaiting PSA annotation of my marriage certificate na lang. I can answer questions for those who have questions or concerns, as much as I can based on my experience. I will not entertain DM for the questions para lahat ng katanungan ay malinawan. 🙂 G?

Disclaimer: hindi po ito legal guidance, and I can’t advice on actual procedures but I will answer in my capacity.

Hi everyone, just want to ask about a situation. I was married in Ph to a Filipino last 2021. But we are separated already due to cheating for almost 4yrs now. I dont plan on getting back with him and I am wanting to divorce him so I can remarry. Is there a legal way that I can do it here in UAE? I am a resident here but he is not. What are the documents that I need to prepare and how is the process if I can file it here in Dubai since there’s no divorce yet in Ph. Thank you for your help!

Nakakaloka ung maraming pinoy na magulang dto sa uae, proud na proud na di marunong ng kahit anong wikang Pilipino mga anak nila. Anong magaling sa isang tao na monolingual o isang wika lang ang alam? Mahihinang nilalang.

Anyone tried to do a cross country going to UAE?

Plano ko po kasi kunin ang cousin ko papunta UAE at natatakot ako ma offload siya kaya plano ko sana from Manila to Singapore to Dubai siya. Okay po ba ung path na ganon? Mas recommended ba?

Thank you in Advance sa makakasagot.

I need to send some documents from Manila to Dubai. What’s a reliable courier service that is affordable?

Hello guys especially those kabayan sa UAE. Baka may marecommend po kayong perfumes na mura lang below 100 aed ganon na long lasting and hindi ganon katapang na masakit sa ilong. Please include po san pwede mabili. Thank you so muchhhhh!!

We’re bringing Perfecto “Perf” De Castro to the UAE this October for a Workshop + Workshow in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Still finalizing the full event details, but I thought I’d share this here since there might be Perf fans, guitarists, or musicians in the sub.

If you’re interested, we opened a First In Line list for updates and early ticket announcements: 1BigHouse.com → Be First In Line

Would also be interesting to know how many Perf fans are actually here in the UAE.

Hello everyone. May question lang po. Direct hire po ako sa dubai and may work visa, JO and insurance na din po, initially yung plan is mag legal route in which dadaan po sa DMW and other process, kaso yung visa ko is ma eexpire na in a month and if dadaan po kami sa legal process, baka ma expire nalang yung visa then di pa natatapos yung pag process ko ng OEC dito sa pinas. Kaso, nakapagresign na po ako sa work(1 and 10 months work experience) and no travel experience po. pag po ba pumunta ako sa visa free country, di po ba matatrack ng taga IO yung working visa ko sa dubai? then if ever mag cocross country ako, solo lang po. ano po ibang need na requirements? thank you.

Hi kabayan! 🇵🇭🇦🇪

May mga Filipinos ba dito sa Dubai na nakabili na ng property, apartment, townhouse, or villa?
Curious lang ako sa actual experience niyo, especially sa finances. 😊

Magkano yung combined monthly income niyo nung bumili kayo? Salary lang ba, business, or both?

Magkano yung property price?

Off-plan, ready property, or resale yung binili niyo?
Which developer did you buy from? Any trusted/recommended developers?

For context, sa tingin niyo ba AED 20K+ combined salary per month is enough to buy a AED 1M property in Dubai?

We’re currently considering buying, so we’d really love to hear from kabayans who have actually gone through the process. Gusto ko sana malaman kung realistic ba siya and how much cash we should ideally have before taking the plunge.

Any tips, advice, developer recommendations, or things you wish you knew before buying would be super helpful. 🙏

Salamat, kabayan! ❤️

Hello! I am just taking my chances to meet new people in Dubai and build new friendship circle.

Someone here who's in Dubai as well might want to tag along? Coffee tayo? Dinner? Tara Kabayan kwentuhan tayo. DM lang kayo.

Gumamit ako ng ai para maging formal photo ko. Medyo nakakahalata na ako na para bang na ang dahilan ng hindi ako nakakakuha ng kahit anong interview dahil ai generated yung photo ko.
