I just want to say congratulations, sir, on still traveling at your age 🙏🏻
If it's coming from the US, I'd use Johnny Air. The taxes are included in the amount you pay when it arrives here, and the price is reasonable.
Looks like the guy with the "no regrets" tattoo from We're the Millers... "know what I'm sayin" 😂

I'm 188cm and 125kg, an Air Force veteran, and I'd tell you to bring extra shorts and t-shirts. Online you can find 3X and 4X sizes no problem, but not the tall-man (LT) cuts, so the lengths don't work. We live up in Valencia, just outside Dumaguete. Dumaguete has a lot of expats and US veterans. Game On by the beach and the Hillside up in Valencia are both good places to meet other foreigners. Don't rush into a long-term lease. Spend a few weeks or a month in an Airbnb and check out different areas. If you like the city and nightlife, Dumaguete is good. If you want it quieter and a bit cooler, the hills in Valencia are great, and Dumaguete is close. If you can ride, I strongly recommend getting a scooter. It's way easier to get around and park than a big car. If you live in central Dumaguete there are lots of tricycles so you may not need one, but if you're up in the hills or outside Dumaguete you'll need some way to get around. Just relax and enjoy yourself, meet people, get a feel for where you want to live for the next year, find a place, and then spend that year exploring the area and decide whether to stay where you are or move somewhere else.
I bought a condo in Mactan 5 years ago... I have zero regrets... 1.2 million pesos... 1 bedroom... 38 square meters... I bought it because I'd been staying here as a tourist for a long time, and I'll be staying longer and longer from now on... But! I'm not buying it as an investment... There are already too many empty condos, condo rent is cheap... If I want to earn Australian dollars, it's better to invest in Australia. There are too many hurdles to go through here.
Everyone is sitting nicely on the couch and posing so well. And here's the one we're not supposed to talk about.
Why compare a single country to an entire continent? Africa is huge.
Yes, you can inherit land. However, this is only possible under a very specific legal condition that determines how the property is transferred. Even if your name appears on the Deed of Absolute Sale or Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) (usually written as "Maria Cruz, married to [your name]" to indicate marital status), Philippine law considers the land to belong solely to the Filipino wife. This is because Section 7, Article XII of the 1987 Philippine Constitution strictly prohibits foreigners from acquiring or owning private land. However, the Constitution provides one narrow exception: inheritance (legal succession). The legal requirements and limitations on how this applies to your situation are as follows: 1. It must be intestate succession You can legally inherit land only if your wife dies without a will (intestate). In Philippine case law, "succession" is strictly interpreted as intestate succession, which takes place by law as a compulsory heir. • Will restriction: Even if your wife names you as a beneficiary of the land in her will, that provision is legally void. The state prohibits this to prevent spouses from using wills to circumvent the foreign land ownership ban. 2. The inherited property may need to be shared The surviving spouse is a compulsory heir but may not be the only heir. Your share depends entirely on which of your wife's family members are alive when she dies: • If there are children: The property is shared with the children. • If there are no children but parents are alive: You usually receive 50% and her parents receive the other 50%. • If there are no children or parents but siblings are alive: You receive 50% and her siblings share the other 50%. • If there are no living children, parents, or siblings: You receive 100% of the property. 3. Conflicting legal views on ownership security Even if you inherit the land through intestate succession, what you can do with it remains complicated. Opinions in the r/LawPH Reddit community also differ on how secure that ownership is in the long run. Some legal practitioners say inheritance grants rights under the law, but many local real estate lawyers and government agencies believe foreigners cannot hold land indefinitely. In practice, a reasonable period is often given to sell or dispose of the land to a qualified Filipino citizen, and you can keep 100% of the sale proceeds. To help outline your options, could you tell me: • Do you have children from this marriage or from your wife's previous relationship? • Are your wife's parents or siblings currently alive? • Is the property a house and lot, or is it bare land? Knowing these details will help clarify how the property would be divided.

You can't do it before arriving, since you have to arrive first. You can only do it after you've arrived.
Don't do that! There's no need to. Just send it to yourself through Wise or WorldRemit.
This reminds me of a proverb.
If most of the Filipino homes you've been to were like that, it says more about you than about those people.. And if all you have to say is negative things, just leave the country.

I'll add my expenses to the list too. If more people join, we can compare everything and get a true average. Living in Makati, no kids, I give my girlfriend an allowance. 1. GrabFood ₱10k/month 2. Grab rides ₱5k/month 3. Groceries ₱7k–10k/month 4. Electricity ₱8k/month 5. Internet ₱700 (Dito, 1-year contract, so ₱8k/year) 6. Water ₱250 7. Rent ₱42k/month (56㎡ 1-bedroom fully furnished condo in Makati) 8. Girlfriend allowance ₱15k/month Based on my usual spending, it's about ₱93k a month. But honestly, if you count impulse buys, especially clothes and random junk, I probably spend close to ₱150k a month. There are other things people should consider too. 9) Emergency fund £25k (kept in a UK account) 10) Settling-in fund: I set aside about £10k to get settled in Makati. It covers flights, Airbnb for the first month while I look for a permanent place, and everything needed to make the condo feel like home. Buying essentials like a desk, bedroom furniture, an electric wok, plants, balcony furniture, rugs, bath mats, a fan, and a dehumidifier added up faster than I expected. Do I live like a king? No, but life in Makati is 10 times better than in the UK.
If you're seriously considering this, you really need help.
