Pinapapayagan ba sa Qatar ang mag live--in ang hindi mag asawang Pilipino.

May kakilala kasi ako na tinulungan ko at d2 tumira sa akin. Ang sabi nya, cya daw ang gumsatos ng Visa nya para makapunta d2. Pero wala pang isang buwan nagkaroon ng problema. May ipinakilala cya sa amin na asawa raw ng kaibigan nya sa pinas. May ibingay kasi cyang padala daw at dito nga sa bahay kinuha. May duda ako na hindi asawa yun ng kaibigan nya. Lumabas nga ang totoo na BF pala nyun. Ang kaibigan kong babae na ito ay may asawa sa pinas. Bigla na lang cyang umalis d2 sa bahay ng walang paalam. Nagalala ako kasi bago lng cya dito. Ang hinala ko dun na cya nagpunta sa lalake.

Pinapayagn ba dito sa Qatar yung mga ganyang bagay na na nagsasama pero hindi magasawa. May paraan ba na malaman kasi naaawa ako sa pamilyang naiwan nya sa pinas. Yun lang po at maraming salamat.

Some of the Tagalog posters might haven't found the Filipino Expat's Group in this site when the topic was created weeks ago. It just so happens that since they know that a lot of the "kabayans" would answer the post...

Please do look in the Groups tab and you would find other groups who posts using their mother tongue/language...

When one chooses to be happy for a little while and neglects the reason why they left home and work in a foreign land.

I just cant imagine if this issue also concerns innocent children. This is really part of an expat's life.

On the other hand, others don't need to go far to give in to their

Good thing that the last posts were in English already. I really apologize for the Tagalog posting on the earlier part because Filipinos tend to answer in Tagalog to express their opinions freely in sensitive issues like this. We just hope that in the next postings, English will be much better so that others may tend to give their advices and opinions on the the topic itself. As we all know that issues like this may not only happen to Filipinos but to other nationalities as well. We just don't how discreet they are to keep their secrets.

I hope everything will be fine for the ladies and gents here in Qatar who are married in their countries and ended up living here together in one roof. Just make it safe and think of your families who are waiting for you and love you so much. I really hope that you love them the same way as they love you.

Mystica/Baedaebok sorry to interrupt but you may know someone (preferrably filipina/indonesian who can speak good english) to work for us for only 1-2 months since we are going to replace our present helper with someone we know from the philippines...most of the agencies i have inquired from said it takes 20 days to a month or maybe even more for processing the documents of the new helper. Within this range of time, we are going to need of someone who has good references...the candidate should live-in with us, will take care of my 1 year and 4 months old baby girl, and do some household chores...no need to do any cooking except for herself; i have posted the same in the classified ads section of QL...thanks!

Hey! baedaebok, We've just been to Immigration this morning and we only pay 1,220 for the processing of new visa. meaning there's no fine as we were told there is to expect 4,500! after 3 days we will collect the visa! yippee!!!

and yes! 50 is old for that job but who knows if she's still strong why not? but you just have to put up with your wife feeling sorry for her when she looks exhausted. lol! mine is only 37. have you started processing her visa yet? if not Apple knows someone, but she's still on holiday. she'll be back by November.

Mystica,

I think she'd have to pay fines. I've never sponsored somebody who's being transferred from a previous sponsor. Right now, my wife has found this 50-year-old Sri Lankan lady (who's living in sRI lANKA right now) who she wants to hire. I'd say 50 is too old, wouldn't you? Max 30.

By anonymous• 5 Oct 2007 12:04

We are in process of our sponsorship too to our new helper on Saturday. We have an approval form, NOC and the original ID of the previous sponsor etc. What else do we need? also if her visa is been canceled last 29th of September would she have fines as we heard? any information would help. Thanks in advance!

Now I know know who can write tagalog and who can't. I didn't that some people on this board could write tagalog. It looks like an interesting language.

Sorry about bringing up the housemaid topic (teasing?). I had promised in a previous response to Jauntie that I wouldn't mention it. It just came to mind because I met with her cousin yesterday and returned all her belongings that she left in our home. She should be deported in a few weeks. This is the final chapter of this sad saga. I promise not to write another post about this housemaid or the topic of runaway housemaids in general. But I will offer help to those newcomers to Qatar who are looking for housemaids. Because I sponsored one, I know my way around the issue so I want to help others.

Regardless, of what your religion, your status in life, your income, your gender or background, thing like this is a matter of personal decision. I will translate in English my recent post...

You have been like that even before, you just did NOT know it because there was no opportunity for you to know that part of yourself. That is called "old-nature." Life's situations magnify us. Like money...they say that money changes people. But no. It just simply magnifies who you really are. Some people, become more generous and self-less whan they become rich, while some live life as if that day was his last...each day.

To get into a relationship other than your spouse is an old nature that has not been overcome yet. So it is a personal decision of a person to get into it or simply avoid it. You can only do that if you are aware of your old nature to know your own strengths and weaknesses.

If you dont know them, then you dont know how you will do when you face that opportunity that will be presented to you. And, in this life, time will come for that testing, for that opportunity to come. So brace yourself.

tell your husband try to get a family status, if he insist they may allow him to bring his family over like what happen to one of our kababayan. It's true that it's quite expensive for Filipinos to maintain their family to live with them here, but if he has family status the sponsor may help him with some benefits like school fees etc. depends on their agreement. There's lots of sharing accommodation going on here with Filipinos but you just have to find the right people to share with, otherwise it can be very difficult to put up with other people especially those who has attitude.

Kagulat ba? Oo, ganyan ka na dati pa, wala ka lang opportunity mag-ganyan. Kahit sa pera, sabi nila binabago daw ng pera ang tao, pero hindi totoo yun. Parang magnifying-lense ang mga situation ng buhay.

Deep ba? (eto pa).

Dati ka nang ganyan, ngayon ka lang nagkaron ng opportunity to know the real you. Mina-magnify lang tayo ng situations. Bottomline, ang tawag po jan is "old-nature". Problem is, kundi ka aware sa old-nature mo, ayun, hindi mo mao-overcome, kasi nga unaware ka. Pero, kung kilala mo sarili mo, strentghs pati weaknesses mo, for sure, alam mo umiwas sa weaknesses mo, na ikakabagsak ng life mo.

Baedaebok...I don't understand what you meant by "offending others"...was it about the guillotine?...as we all know that guillotines are not used these days, i was just having a humurous conversation regarding the "icons" that Mystica attached in one of her posts...sorry if you misunderstood the humour behind it since our posts were in tagalog.....

I don't think it has to do with being Catholic...Anywhere else in the world, anyone of any nationality or religious belief, can get into this kind of live-in relationship. It's just that here in the Middle East, living together unmarried can be a reason for people ending up in jail once caught by authorities...

You've got a point there, Mystica. It is an interesting perspective on the issue. But there's more to the issue than just that.

But: Joan, Sweetmom, and Bruce have a different take on living together. I would agree with some things they are saying. But they need to be careful not to offend the sensibilities of others.

BTW, I've no idea what's being said since I can't read tagalog.

But, I have one question: if 80% of people from the Philipines are Catholic, why are some people entertaining this un-Catholic lifestyle? If the people who think living together is OK are anything like my runaway maid (i.e., the 20%), then I understand.

kung hindi family status work ng mr mo esariling gastos mangyayari sa inyo. kelangan i-sponsor ka ng mr mo. pero bago kayo pumunta kelangan ayos na bahay na lilipatan nyo dito, i mean, dapat i-prepare na ni mr lahat. yung mga bata naman pwedeng i-enroll dito sa mga phillipine school. problema lang kung hindi sagot ng company ni mr e napakamahal ng tuition fees. magkakasama nga kayo, magugutom naman. it's your choice.

Common na yan sa mga taong hindi marunong magkontol sa kanilang pangangailangan o kautugan, mahirap talaga para sa mag asawa ang magkalayo kaya ang asawa ko ayaw kaming nagkakalayo kung saan s'ya gusto n'ya nandoon din kami. sa kaso ng ibang tao nakakaawa rin sila at malungkot talaga ang malayo sa pamilya lalo na sa ating mga kababayan na maliit lang ang kinikita at gagawin ang lahat para lang kumita ng pera at matustusan ang kanyang pamilya. ang iba naman ah napakatayog ng pangarap sa kakahangad maka huli ng malaking isda at pangarap makapag asawa ng puti eh kung kani kanino na lang sumasama ng hindi man lang ginagamit ang utak minsan naman wala talagang kasiyahan sa iisang lalaki kaya papalit-palit palipat-lipat. hindi man lang nag aalala na maging ganito ang labas n'ya kapag nahuli s'ya.

At every Friday eh ganito.

Kaya doble ingat mga kababayan kasi sa lahat pag kayo nagkaproblema asahan n'yo kababayan din natin ang magpapahamak sa atin. tulad na lang ng pananalbahe sa akin ng look alike ni Malu.

there's a lot that he said there..but kind of sensitive..
