Globe Sim Card in the UAE

Hello, bumili ako recently ng Globe sim card sa Dubai for GCash/government purposes. Ang hirap kasi mag log in sa mga Ph government websites na need yung Ph number (PAGIBIG/SSS). Tanong ko lang if nage-expire ba ‘to if hindi ko nagagamit (SMS/Call), need ko pa i-register for roaming? Baka kasi pag nalipat ko na sa number na to, biglang mag expire ta’s need ulet bumili/balik sa OWWA. 💀

Looking for a Job Opportunity (Dubai Based)

Uae work

Hello po sa mga nakapagtrabaho na sa Dubai/UAE! May tanong lang po sana ako at baka may makapagbigay ng advice.

Plano ko pong magtrabaho sa Dubai, specifically sa HR, administrative, o iba pang corporate jobs. May chronic hepatitis B po ako at kasalukuyan akong umiinom ng maintenance medication.

Base po sa mga nabasa at na-research ko, hindi naman daw required ang hepB test para sa UAE work visa kung corporate o office job ang papasukan. Pero may concern lang po ako tungkol sa mangyayari kapag nasa Dubai na ako.

Halimbawa po, nakakuha na ako ng work visa, nakapagtrabaho na, at may health insurance na. Gusto ko sanang ipagpatuloy ang pag-inom ng gamot at regular check-ups ko. Kung pupunta po ako sa clinic o ospital at sasabihin ko na may chronic hepatitis B ako, okay lang po ba iyon?

May posibilidad po bang i-report ng clinic o doktor ang kondisyon ko sa mga awtoridad, at makaapekto ito sa visa ko o maging dahilan ng deportation?

Isa pa pong tanong, okay lang po ba kung i-disclose ko na agad sa employer ang kondisyon ko during the interview, o mas mabuting huwag na lang kung hindi naman ito required?

Gusto ko lang pong maging tapat sa healthcare providers at sa magiging employer ko kung kinakailangan, para maipagpatuloy ko nang maayos ang treatment ko. Pero nag-aalala lang po ako kung may legal, employment, o immigration consequences ang pag-disclose ng kondisyon ko.

Kung may nakakaalam po tungkol sa healthcare system o employment rules sa UAE, o may personal experience na katulad nito, lalo na po sa mga nasa UAE o nakaranas ng ganitong sitwasyon, malaking tulong po ang anumang maibabahagi ninyo. Maraming salamat po!

HR PEOPLE: Labour Contract Query

Hi. Need advise. I resigned to my company last week and started serving my 90-day notice period as per my labour contract. Then today po may pinapasign silang mutual agreement na ngayon na nga yung last day ko at yung amount ng settlement ko(until today lang din ang calculation) which i did NOT SIGN yet. Kasi biglaan naman sila. And I was actually willing to serve my notice period na 90 days. Ano po yung pwede ko gawin? What if hindi ako pumayag sa agreement na yun? Can they terminate me anytime?

To My Fellow Kabayans Looking for Work

Hi! HR ako, and lagi kong pinaprioritize ang mga kabayan kapag may open positions. Pero hindi ko rin maiwasang mapansin na minsan, kulang din tayo sa professionalism. I would really fight for you sa management, tapos pag dumating na ang offer, bigla na lang manggo-ghost. Hindi naman kami nambabarat.

Anyway, hiring kami for a male Java Developer with Kafka experience. If you're interested, send me your email address kahit dummy first if you’re afraid to share personal email yet and I'll send you the job description. :)

In need of someone who has DEEP connections to the banks

Hello guys. First time posting here. I would like to apply for a loan or if not a cc. My salary is 17.5k AED, Going 9 months now in the company and we are under freezone DMCC.

The reason I am asking for someone who has deep connections to the bank is that I have tried applying a lot of times and always get denied because of a 'write off'-- something that banks never explained to me before.

To understand my situation better, I will write a short timeline of what happened.

2022 - I got a loan and CC, I was still paying and employed that time.
2023 of May - I lost my job and it has been rough but i still tried paying til I couldn't and had to focus on my survival first.
2024 of September - I finally got a job, bank contacted me again and offered me discounted payments for the settlement etc. I asked them if they could wait so that i can pay them one time, they said yes.
2025 of July end or Early August - I was able to pay them one time discounted payment but before this happened I asked them multiple times if it's gonna show 'CLEARED' on my credit report and they said YES and that I will also be able to receive and clearance letter-- which I did.
2026 last month - First time somebody completely explained to me about this write off on my credit report and the sole reason why I am prevented to get any CC and loans.

I know what happened was inevitable but one thing I never did was to run away. I could have gone to my country but I never did coz I want to properly fix what happened.

If anybody can help please reach out. Thank you!

MOFA Attestation

Hello! This is my first time to get a MOFA attestation, I have been in Dubai for 4 years but I was only required to do it now. I have an Apostilled document (Diploma, CAV, TOR) way back in 2019. Can I use this to get it stamped at the Philippines embassy here? then once it is stamped, can I send it for MOFA attestation?

Who has the same situation before or has an idea? Please comment, I badly need an advice.

Thank you! (Im a nurse)

EDITED: update-DFA stamped apostille is accepted for attestation in Ph consulate (in UAE) then MOFA.
Meaning no need for the apostille to be attested back sa uae consulate (in philippines)
