        A very common problem and one that seems to be increasing in frequency, as more try to split content up. The simple way around it though it to have all of the content shown on the page.

        This post might be of interest too.

          Hi Bruno,

          It looks like duplicate content is the issue, not the tabs: Google picked up the text from this particular tab five days ago, but from http://www.imoney.ph/credit-card, not from the .sg domain you mention here:

          http://i.imgur.com/mdmrPy2.png

          Google will try to filter out duplications of content so as to keep its index as tidy as possible. You have a canonical tag on the page on the .ph domain, referencing itself. You also have a canonical tag on the .sg domain's page on credit cards, referencing itself, but Google has filtered out the .sg content because it is a duplicate.

          Look at geo-targeting these domains using the rel=alternative tag (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en), which should help Google understand that one version of the content is meant for Singapore searchers and the other is meant for the Philippines.

          A Moz guide on this tag is available here: http://moz.com/blog/using-the-correct-hreflang-tag-a-new-generator-tool

          Thanks,

          Jane
