Hello everyone, As we usually do each year, we invite you to share your experiences and tell us more about the average prices of products and services in your town/city/area, so that we have updated information regarding cost of living and ...
Ridiculous price. Here on Panglao island the price has tripled in the last five years, but is still no more than PHP2500 per m2. I certainly wouldn't consider Davao or what is to become its semi-autonomous region! Read More

Well, if you've been here for 10 years it's possible to apply for citizenship. But that might bring other consequences. I'm seriously thinking about doing so, to avoid the enormity of governmental chaos in the UK! Read More

Rubbish. Peso is Queen. Foreign income, which you have neither to report or pay income tax is King. Perhaps that's not so in places such as Vietnam or elsewhere in the Far East. Yes, that they screw ACR-I card holders at airports for PHP2800+ ... Read More
