PahibaloCommunity

A room for Filipinos in Australia and New Zealand.

Ask about work and visas. Warn each other about the scams going around. Find someone who arrived a year before you and remembers what it was like.

It is free, it is run by Pahibalo News, and it is moderated by people who live here too.

The rooms

General
Anything and everything. Introduce yourself, ask a question, or just say hello.
Work & Visas
Jobs, visas, licensing and pay. Ask before you sign anything.
Scam Watch
Post the text, the call, or the offer that looked too good. Warning each other early is the whole point.
New Arrivals
Just landed, or arriving soon? Ask the questions everyone is too shy to ask.
New Zealand
For kababayan in Aotearoa. Different visas, different rules, its own room.

House rules, in short

  • No recruiters, and no agents selling visa help. This is not a marketplace.
  • Never send money to someone you met here. Nobody legitimate will ask.
  • Be kind. People arrive here worried, and often at the worst moment of their week.
  • If something looks wrong, tell a moderator rather than arguing in the room.
