Cebu Pacific Guarantee
You are right jester_icarus, I also heard from others that I should be careful on the employment guarantee that they offer. If ever I take their scholarship package, I should just make sure that they give a contract or something like that.
I also need to research for information on other possible places where I can get my pilot training.

CIA Sponsorships
Thanks again eight ball! I currently do not hold any pilot license, so it will still be a long way for me. I am looking at other possible source of funding since I am not sure if I can borrow from relatives.
The Cebu Pacific employees are so lucky! They get their training for free!

Calvin...
Heres an easy way to determine if the scholarship will take you to the right seat of the AirBus.
If Cebu Pac sponsors you 100%..then you have a 99.7564899% of sitting right seat in an AirBus..
If they only give you 50% scholarship and you put in the other 50%..then your chances are .....well 50% (if no guarantee contract is given)
Either way..the company is investing in you to fly for them.....
If you have the money GO FOR IT!!!!

Pilot training
Calvin..
if you are loking for a traditional pilot training school..heres my suggestion.
Find a school and find the cheapest C152 or C150 and get you PPL with this aircraft.
Then once you get your PPL..find a C172 thats IFR certified and get your IR with this a/c.
Next find a multi to train on to get your commercial multi...
Then..if you have left-overs from you millions of pesos..go get a Type Rating like 8ball said. Now comes the hard part. Finding a job!!.
Good Luck...

calvin - there are a lot of fast track programs in the U.S.
There was even one that offers frozen ATPL status within 12 months if you do decide to go through the normal licensing progression. But it means $$$
From my experience overseas, they wouldn't normally employ you with just a type rating. They need at least 100 hrs on type ( Airbus or Boeing).
however, in the last few months, the likes of India have been employing pilots WITH JUST A TYPE RATING and people have been going to Florida and getting their TR for just 12-13,000 USD. Some people will laugh at it saying that it has low standard but people have been going through it and have gotten jobs in the A320 and B737-800s.
Check Indigo airlines' website in India.
good luck. go for the normal CPL/ME/IR and ATPl subjects.
Australia has been doing the course of "Direct CPL/ME/IR" and cut-out the PPL stuff. This is also a fast track as it can be done in 12 months.
Just ask 8ball as he was a multi-engine instructor in Sydney with this type of program.
Have a good think but if you can get a scholarship with Cebu Pac then go for it but if the door closes on you then as they say " If you can't get in the front door, use the kitchen window".

Flight Training
Thanks jester_icarus and DeltaSix! 
Eight Ball, what is the name of the flight school in Sydney where you are a flight instructor? It was mentioned that they also offer a fast track program to get a CPL, etc. Maybe this can be an interesting option as well.

well Cal, I can tell you but then I will have to kill you.
There are a lot of schools there. As Fingus says, one of them is Sydney Flight Training ( look for a guy named Malcolm Poulton - he is one of the best and is kind and helpful). There are others like, Whitworth
, Basair, Proflite, etc.
Most of them do the direct CPL course and are good trainers.
Then there is also a correspondence or classroom lessons for your ATPL subjects in Bankstown. Look for a company called Secombe Aviation.
I also did a specialized course in Basic Gas Turbine ( Jets ), Glass cockpit technology, RVSM, and Long Range navigation with a company called Aero Training Systems. I thought I knew all about jets and airline flying till I did this course.
PM me and I'll give you the name of the school who can help you with a student visa if you're really interested.
goodluck

Hi C1052
Thanks my friend. That's the plan so far and God willing Feb should be the month. Moment of truth, and I leave it all in God's hands as I have done before. Got out of charter flying unscathed despite horrendous weather and lightning bolts around the aircraft 
. Will surely miss twin flying.
Just doing more advance studies now to prepare. Any CD ROM materials you can throw my way ?
See you when you get here. Let me know okay ? Need extra tips on the Airbus from you.
To the Clark Aviation cadets - goodluck and don't take notice of what's going on at the school. Just focus on what you are there to achieve and get through it. Maybe not quickly but surely.

Yeah... Curious:
What are FIs salaries?
What is the number of Cadets per batch?
What is the number of FIs?
Why no yet any answer on this usually so reactive thread?
Is this just a thread to talk about "Clark Aviation" and MPL?
Please answer....
Thank you....
