Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in the Philippines, would you heartily say "lets do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do ...
Apart from noisy dogs and horrendous driving conditions the thing I hate the most is backyard burning of rubbish. The fumes are disgusting and lead to all sorts of health problems but the barangay doesn't seem to worry at all about it even ... Read More

Married Aussies. by DavidWF
A couple of years ago I asked Centrelink what would happen to my aged pension should I marry, and they told me that if I have a live in partner of any description my Australian pension would drop $100 plus ( not sure if that was per month or per ...
I think we would all do well to read the Family Code of The Philippines: Philippines Family Code It's mostly in simple language, but sets out clearly obligations when married or partnered to a Filipino. Property ownership is particularly ... Read More

It appears to be true. If you read the single pension rate it reduces by about $100 per week if you have a partner. Centrelink probably is assuming that in Oz you either receive a couples pension if the other partner is of pensionable age or if the ... Read More
