• Answer:

  ICA will not allow for you to entry if you don't "SHOW ' them return air-ticket. and air-line may not issue any boarding pass for you to fly, because air-line take 100 % responsible to check every think before issue boarding pass , if not, any things happened , there have to send you back by next fly " free ". In business , there may sales to you, one way ticket , but for airport check in ,is handle by other, there got the right , no to issue any boarding pass, even you hold Ticket ! Time is very bad for jobs market , local citizen can even get jobs after Jan, 16000 or more people loss there jobs last 3 month. and Issue for any type Work-Pass from our Government is very conservative now. are you SURE you are able to get jobs in 30 day ? even you hold return ticket and allow for 30 day social visit .From what i knows , except Professional jobs ( S-Pass / EP ), very few jobs is allow for Philippines passport holder to work under Work Permit , there it, but very few ! is not the right time ! may be search jobs from local Employment agency is better for you at this " bad time" is Singapore.
