    1. Im sure all those years may ipon na. Imagine mo ayaw na nya sa pinas

      Delete
    2. Sabi nga sa caption susunod na sa pamilya. So malamang matagl na family nya dun. Baka dini delay lang nya ang pagsunod sa family. But he is not getting any younger, good decision. Spend ur
      Senior years with your family if senior na sya. Best of luck sir!

      Delete
    3. Baka gusto na doon magretire. For sure may insurance na yan at private pension.

      Delete
    4. Given his age, i doubt he’s moving for work. Malamang settled na yan. Gusto na magretire. Sana all may option like that, like Bea A or Anne C

    5. Ateng kahit san ka man pumunta mahirap buhay. Basta magtrabaho ka lang at wag tamad

    6. @8:50 Mahirap buhay pero kaya pa naman.IS po ako dito with my husband.Mas ok naman kami dito kesa sa pinas.If i compare nyo nga ung bilihin almost same sa pinas. Dito may couponing pa,plus inaantay namin sale talaga.Malaking ginhawa din ung healthcare.Siguro depende na lang paano lifestyle nyo.Though mahirap na din maghanap ng work.

    12. madali ang buhay depende sa tao. kung tatamad tamad mahirap talaga at kung lustay.

    13. Ayoko na rin sa Pinas huhu

    14. 1048 kung Citizen or PR sya oo pero kung tourist sympre di pabor mas mahal dun. Baka naman retirement n yan tapos dun na lang sya magspend most of the time tapos pauwe uwe na lang.

      Delete
    15. tingin mo kay henry walang retirement plan. handa na yan sa buhay mag reretire ba yan kung wala siyang naipon or what. make it make sense. lol

      Delete
    16. Paano naman kasi yung ibang Pinoy, kakadating pa lang sa Canada mag-loan agad ng brand new car, shopping sa outlet saka travel travel agad

      Delete
    17. 12:25 nasa Canada ka ba to make that generalized statement. Nagpapadala mostly mga ofws sa mga kamag anak.

      Delete
    18. 12:44 oh dear, if you only knew :)

      Delete
    19. His entire family is already in Canada

      Delete
    20. 12:25 true ka dyan. Daming ganyan sa Canada

      Delete
    21. baka nanduon na ang kanyang mga pamilya

      Delete
    22. Lilipat ba silang Canada kung maghihirap naman? May mga pera yang mga yan. Wag mo itulad sa iba.

      Delete
    23. 12:25 di ka basta basta pwede magloan dito pag kakadating mo pa lang or bago ka dito, you need to build your credit score first before you will be approved for a loan in anything like purchasing a car or buying a home, so not sure where your notion came from, and buying a car here is not a luxury but a necessity, although kaming mag anak hindi bumibili since ok pa naman transportation system, mahirap ang buhay kahit saan, ke sa ibang bansa or sa Pinas, pero by God's grace ok naman basta mag work and magsipag mabubuhay tayong lahat kahit nasaan ka pa

      Delete
    24. 4:43 may program yun mga bank dati na pwedeng magloan kahit temporary visa ka lang sa Canada pero tinigil na nila dahil nga madaming nde makabayad, at yung iba umaalis na lang bansa naiiwan yun loan. I agree na necessity ang kotse pero you don’t need a brand new car agad agad. Ipon muna bago magyabang lol

      Delete
    25. 12:25 alam mo ba backgrounds nila? Yung ibang nagmigrate, may mga pera lalo kung ang enrtry nila hindi work like nurse or skilled workers. Ang mahal ng process for PR at fees sa immigration consultanrs. May mga kilala ako mayaman na talaga sa Pinas as in. Moved to Canada just because, not really para umahon sa hirap.

      Delete
    26. Sabihin mo yan kung naexperience mo ng tumira sa ibang bansa specially sa first world countries. Yes, sinasabi nila mahirap ang buhay sa Canada pero sa tingin ko mahirap para sa mga tamad na tao. And yung sabi nila magwork ka ng 3 jobs, it's only true sa mga tao walang skills. Mga semi skilled na ang kaya lang makuha ng trabaho is minimum wage and sometimes hindi naman sila nakakakuha ng fulltime kaya kumukuha sila ng madami jobs para makakuha ng fulltime hours. But I rather works 3 jobs than go back in the Philippines na baha, bagyo at lindo ang palagi nag hihintay sayo bukod pa sa bulok na gobyerno.

      Delete
    27. @4:43 wrong! kung madami ka savings na mapapakita you can loan! you can offer an magdown ng malaki kung ipapasok mo ang car mo sa financing! hindi po lahat ng pumupunta sa Canada ay mga dukha na nagbabakasakali makaipon. Yung iba ayaw na nila ang environment sa bansa nila kaya umaalis sila. Actually yan ang maling thinking ng nagmamigrate. Kaya na didisappoint sila. In fact one of the requirements kung PR or permanent residence ang apply mo dapat mag proof of funds ka na kaya mo buhayin sarili mo hanggang wala ka makita work at least 5 to 6 months na pondo (house, food etc). Dami dito nag internation students pero ang siste iisa lang ang pang araw araw nila sa kung ano part time job na makukuha nila and that is a wrong mentality and also a wrong plan kaya sinasabi nila mahirap. Dahil kung student ka ang intention mo is mag aral and pinili mo yung ganon pathways ibig sabihin may pera ka dala na kaya mo mabuhay sa foreign country with or without part time job.

    3. One can spend their retirement on hobbies, sports or take care of family members like grandchildren, hatid sundo or babysit. Join a club or org depende sa interests mo. Andaming pwedeng gawin. Basta wag lang lagi nakatingin sa negative or sa kung ano ang wala sa Canada na meron sa Pinas.

      Delete
    4. paanong mabobored kung Kasama mo family mo?

      Delete
    5. 9:18 Siguro kung ikaw talaga ma bobored wala kang ka maritesan dito sa abroad pero kung productive ka at active marami pang pwedeng gawin pwede mong kainin ang gusto mo magandang health care at makakapunta ka sa magagandang lugar.

  10. Baka early retirement ito. Tingin ko based on Karen's message for him on "accepting everything with grace", baka forced early retirement.

    2. may mass deportation sa Canada ngayon

      Delete
    3. 11:17 - daming tourist visa nag nag wo-work sa Canada under the table. Dapat nga matigil na ang ganyan ksi hindi nagbabayad ng tax. Yung pera na kinikita nila hindi naman ginagastos inside Canada kundi pinapadala sa Pinas.

      Delete
    4. 5:59 usa, europe also need to mass deport.

      Delete
    5. Super agree 5:59! palayasin na mga walang papel

      Delete
    6. Grabe matapobre mindser 4:54. Kumapit din sila sa patalim nakipagsapalaran para sa pamilya. I know kasi anak ako ng formerly undocumented. Every phonecall umiiyak nanay ko. Easier visa processing and amnesty nlng sana. Workung naman sila eh. At nagbavayad ng social security.

      Delete
    7. 2:34 agree! Matapobre mga commenters dito. I came here with proper papers too and finally got my citizenship pero alam ko struggles ng mga undocumented.

      Delete
    8. 2:34 pano sya naging matapobre? Dapat lang talaga palayasin mga ganyan. Makipagsapalaran sila ng tama.

      Delete
    9. 8:58 they are working sh*t jobs and probably struggle harder on the daily compared to your 9-5. Give them some grace. 2:34 that does not make sense dahil kahit disagree ako sa mga naglolook down sa mga illegal immigrants dito, yung visa processing ay direct consequence ng mga pinoy na nagviviolate ng visa nila, at least in the US. Dahil maraming nagooverstay na pinoy or nagtatrabaho on a tourist visa, lalong humihigpit ang immigration sa mga pinoy compared sa mga counterparts natin na ibang lahi. Lalo ding naooverwhelm yung system dahil sa mga illegals na nagkakaamnesty so lalong bumabagal ang process for the ones who apply through working visas.

      Delete
    10. Dapat lang dahil madami dito gumastos ng malaki at kung ano ano pang academic exam ang pinag daanan para lang makapasok at makapagwork ng legal sa Canada or US and etc. Tapos sila paawa effect. Gusto ng amnesty. Alam ba nila kung paano nag ipon ang bawat tao na pumasok dito ng legal para lang may pang ayos ng pera.

  13. Una kong narinig ang pangalan ni Henry Omaga-Diaz sa radyo, sa programa nina Ruth Abao-Espinosa at Edinell Calvario sa ABS-CBN. Meron silang segment with the chikadorang Tsugi Tsugi at news segment ni Henry. Binibiro nila dati si Tsugi Tsugi na may crush kay Henry. Kung naabutan ninyo ito, matanda na rin kayo haha!

  16. Canada is having issues with visas. Mukhang maghihigpit na sila. And As long as hindi Liblib na lugar sa Canada ay ok lang like Montreal or Vancouver ay ok lanh. Pero of Alberta, naku wag na, ma home sick ka lang.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I prefer Alberta over Montreal and Vancouver. Lalo na kung Calgary and Edmonton na ang daming Filipino. Ang dami din naman pede puntahan.

      And let's be real, who has the time pa para magliwaliw sa hirap ng buhay? Bawat labas gastos.

      Delete
    2. Depende naman kung saang part ng Alberta,11:39. Andami kayang malalaking City ng Alberta like Calgary and Edmonton na madaming Pinoy and everything at madami kang magagawa at pagkakaabalahan

      Delete
    3. Henry's family is in Edmonton, Alberta. Nakikita namin sya pag andito sya, namimili sa Costco.
      medyo nakaka home sick nga dito pero ok naman sya na province. mas tahimink compared sa Van or Toronto.

      Delete
    4. Alberta is a killr during winter πŸ₯Ά not for retirement. Dami bumabalik ng pinas or nastay sa province and you can tell mas happy sila pinas. work mo aabutin ng isang oras via train or bus para pumasok. The. Walang options for work puros service crew/janitorial etc.

      Delete
    5. Have you ever been to Calgary? It seems like you only know about Alberta as a whole, particularly when it comes to the weather, especially winter. The cost of living in Vancouver is very high and they do have beaches, Calgary is surrounded by clean parks, lakes, mountains, and has more disciplined drivers. Vancouver’s roads are also much smaller than Calgary’s.

      Delete
    6. Alberta is for old age so if you’re still loving a city vibe or exploring, stay in Toronto or Vancouver. Kumbaga laid back ang Alberta kasi Bundok sya.

      Delete
    7. @1:20am you obviously haven’t seen Vancouver. We have a lot of beaches from YVR to the beaches of Kitsilano, UBC, etc - only to name a few. Don’t forget that Vancouver is in the BEAUTIFUL province of British Columbia where, from Yukon, down to Tsawwasen has loads of lush green mountains, lakes, beaches, etc. Part of the Rockies & Yoho National Park where the famous Emerald Lake is, is also in BC!

      Delete
    8. 1:05 hindi naman. ang saya kaya sa Edmonton. pag winter, pwede ka mag snowboard. dami din oil n gas na jobs, malaki nga sweldo eh. dami ibat-ibang work, hindi lng puro service crew/ janitorial. Ang saya may hockey, dami events if you just keep yourself updated with the City's happenings. dami mapuntahan during summer. Albera has the highest inter-province migration. madami lumilipat dito from vancouver and toronto.

      Delete
    9. @6:03am generally maganda ang Canada, preference nlng ng lifestyle kun saan mo gusto. if one prefers the city vibe with nature - BC for me is the best. the more laid back naman is Alberta with the cost of living na medyo mababa, nakaka help sa work-life balance.
      In anyway, maganda ang Canada. :-)

      Delete
    10. I will take BC anytime over Alberta although I live in Toronto. Won't be able to handle the winter in Alberta.

      Delete
    11. @6:03 I’ve been to Vancouver, the places you mentioned and other parts of BC - Victoria Island, Whistler, etc. Hence, I commented. I also pointed out that you have beaches. But what I was trying to convey, Alberta is not boring. We have the best of both worlds as well. City life and mountains and lakes. We have beautiful parks too and much cleaner even in the downtown (Calgary). Nothing against Vancouver.

      Delete
    12. My family lives in Toronto, but we also love Van. Haven't been to Alberta yet. But I guess kung saan ka na nasanay, mas prefer mo yun. Si Henry, happy sya kung saan ang family nya.

      Delete
    13. We’re in Saskatchewan and most filipino people that we know agad sinasabi na boring jan wala magawa jan brutal ang snow jan and so on and so forth but we love it here! Low cost of living kumpara sa other provinces and andito mga basic needs. Simpleng pamumuhay. Kaya talagang kanya kanya. I hate it whenever someone says na pangit jan etc etc boring jan etc etc let the people decide on their own, wag maging toxic. Wag pangunahan.

      Delete
    14. Please wag na kayo sa Toronto ang dami na namin dito πŸ˜₯ Yes many are moving to Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. You can have a big brand new house in Alberta for the price a tinu one bedroom condo in Toronto. Everything very expensive.

      Delete
    15. Vancouver is beautiful. There is no question about that, Pero tanong mo kung gaano kamahal ang bahay don compare in other province. Montreal is also pretty pero kailangan mo maging bilingual. Alberta has mountain and mali ang tingin ng tao na harsh ang winter dito. Para sa akin mas harsh ang winter sa BC dahil wet don. Palagi umuulan. Laging gloomy. Kung hindi ka nagdrive grabe lagi ka may dala payong sa bag.

      Delete
    16. @6:45Pm hayaan mo sila magdecide. Kung magada ang skill sets nyo mga kababayan kahit saan lugar kayo pumunta sa Canada may magiging lugar kayo. Yung mga naghihirap lang at sinasabi madami na sila don e yung nag aagawan sa work sa mga Tim Hortons and Mcdonalds. Mga food counter attendant. Pero kung skilled ka kahit saan ka. Mga semi skilled mahirap talaga dahil kalaban din nila mga studyante not International Students bat yung mga youth dito.

    3. If you’re young go to the big cities. Sa TO pa lang daming concerts, broadway shows, Festivals, art exhibitions, meetups, hiking, hundreds of restaus, film fests etc. Enjoy kaya ako dito haha. And yes, obv mas mataas cost of living pero dami rin opportunities plus the diversity!! Do not only seek filipinos when u move abroad. Expand your network. Dami mo pa matutunan sa ibang lahi.

    4. While young live in the City and explore sayang opportunities.
