It's 100% legally a one-way street, and I have no illusions about that. Every foreigner living in the Philippines is essentially making a Faustian bargain. They get enormous purchasing power, often romance, and a tropical postcard life, while the country gets our capital inflow. We know we can never be legally equal. I think the arrangement works, but I don't see myself living here for the rest of my life.
Contact SSA instead of FB.
Why would you film yourself committing a crime?
I told my brothers-in-law too, but GROs in the provinces are the most dangerous. Nobody gets tested. Don't play around carelessly.
Oh my.. That's why I pay good money for a place to stay and stick around Manila. The beach is just a short flight away.
Even with the November gales coming early, this should help.
I just searched on Google and nothing has changed. Here it is. Most people just didn't read to the end. For a Filipino spouse to receive Social Security survivor benefits, she has to have lived in the US for 5 years. Yes, even though a Filipino wife isn't a US citizen, she can receive US Social Security survivor benefits if she meets the core eligibility requirements of the Social Security Administration (SSA) and follows the rules for living abroad. Core Eligibility Requirements • Age and status: Generally she must be 60 or older (50 or older if disabled). If she is caring for your child under 16 or disabled, she can receive benefits regardless of age. • Length of marriage: Generally you must have been married for at least 9 months before your death (exceptions apply for accidental death or military service). • Citizenship not required: SSA decides survivor benefits based on your work record and your relationship, not on her US citizenship. The 5-Year US Residency Rule When Living Outside the US Where she lives has a major impact on whether she can keep receiving payments long term: • Living in the US: If she lives in the US legally, she can receive survivor benefits without needing several years of US residency. • Living in the Philippines (or abroad): Under SSA's rules for stopping payments to foreigners, a non-citizen generally cannot keep receiving survivor benefits for more than 6 consecutive months outside the US unless she qualifies for a specific exception. • 5-year exception: To receive survivor benefits indefinitely outside the US (such as in the Philippines), a non-citizen spouse must have a record of living in the US for at least 5 cumulative years while married to you. • No totalization agreement: The US has no Social Security totalization agreement with the Philippines, so the standard foreign residency rules and exceptions apply strictly.
Join the Philippine Cigar Afficionado group on Facebook. My husband and I like Waterside at Solaire because it's more open. There's also BRB at Solaire. 1824 has poor ventilation exhaust. The Whisky Library at Resorts World is good too.
No matter how huge it is, a cat is still a cat.
Yeah, I asked the people in my room for a vote.
You'll need to file an ejectment case..
Look at how the frog resembles Kermit when startled lol
We also found this out when we first came here. It's obvious that there's no proper free secondary healthcare in this country. We looked at a bunch of health insurance products and they were ridiculous. Total rip-off. So we put 100 pounds into a bank account every month. The money we'd need if something happens is sitting there, and if we don't use it, we go on a nice holiday in Europe with it 🤷♂️

I had it installed by Sammy T. Pentinio (Facebook name Dong Pentinio), an engineer in Roxas. The price is reasonable and the workmanship is excellent. I live about 30km north of Puerto, and I'm running my house and even my BYD car on it.
There is no divorce in the Philippines. If you want to protect your assets, it's better to sign a prenuptial agreement and get married in the US or Canada.
Everyone's so sharp, I love it.
Listen to me. You don't need a lawyer for Philippine immigration matters, except in these cases. 1) You have a lot of money and like to show it off 2) You've gotten into serious trouble and really need a lawyer The Philippine Bureau of Immigration has accredited agents who know immigration policy more up-to-date than lawyers and have much more experience. They also handle things faster and more simply than lawyers. For example, a 13A visa costs about 15,000 pesos if you do it yourself, about 45,000 pesos through an agent, and over 150,000 pesos with a lawyer (lawyers add zero value here). Also, agents don't charge by the hour like lawyers do. Where are you in the Philippines? If you tell me the area, I can recommend a few people. You can also check whether an agent is accredited on the Immigration website.
There are really a lot of irresponsible dog owners here in the Philippines. In the provinces, it's very common to just keep a dog, feed it only rice, and maybe give it leftover food or fish bones if it's lucky, and then let it roam the neighborhood streets freely looking for food and a mate. Some people also believe dogs shouldn't be tied up. Like most problems here, the root cause is poverty and lack of education.
