It's 10,000 US dollars, not pesos
I chose San Vicente, Palawan for its location, good roads and relatively reliable power. It's close enough to Puerto Princesa (PPC) to drive there and back in a day, and only 45 minutes from Port Barton, Roxas and Taytay. Long Beach isn't crowded, and there's so much to do nearby that costs little or nothing. Rent here is about 15K a month for a 2-bedroom house, less for a small place, and there are lots of options. We do have a hospital, but I'm not sure what level to compare it to. Good luck wherever you end up.
None of these are high-end, they're Lazada/Shopee buys.. You can get a brand-new one for the same price or less.

(a) With the economy getting worse all around, people become more desperate and so more likely to scam or rob foreigners, knowing they (usually) have far more money than Filipinos. (b) In bad times, people look for scapegoats. Because of 'Filipino pride', locals would much rather blame foreigners for all their problems than admit their own mistakes. A good example is the myth that expats and their extra money are behind the rising cost of living, even though we're such a tiny fraction of the population that our effect on the economy is negligible.
British humor. Love it.
We do a pack walk every Sunday at Ayala's car-free Sundays
Palawan…
You mean dip? Try looking for smokeless.
Palawan is much better — Coron, El Nido, Puerto Princesa..
Being Filipino, you'll know about balikbayan boxes. Why not ask a balikbayan box company in Sydney? Most of them handle shipping containers as well as balikbayan boxes.

McAfee is a virus pretending to be an antivirus
My wife and I moved to the US in 2010 to specialize in internal medicine. We came back to the Philippines every year on vacation, except during the COVID years. Our twin boys were 2 when we emigrated. Their love for the Philippines grew, and they taught themselves Tagalog from books and YouTube. Long story short, my kids were happier in the Philippines than in the US. My wife and kids moved back two years ago, and I followed two months ago. We've also started an assisted-living facility here, plus a concierge telemedicine practice for expats. So we're moving for business as well as quality of life for us and the kids. I spent a third of my life in the US. You can learn to 'drive aggressively' here; I had to relearn it these past two months. The key to not blowing your top while driving is to think of drivers as making do with the limited road space the Philippines has. I just try a little empathy: 'let's understand each other, we've got very little road, so yes, you go ahead and I'll wait my turn.' It helps keep your blood pressure down. You can also make use of those pesky motorcycles. When you need to turn left at a busy intersection with no traffic light, they're suicidal and go first, so just follow their lead and they clear the way for your left turn. Lol! Also, you're a dual citizen like me. You have the best of both worlds: the Philippines, where your businesses are established, and Canada, where you spent half your life. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, think about what you learned in Canada that could make life better for Filipinos or expats here. Maybe you can build a business out of it. I'm still learning the ropes after two months here, but I think you'll be just fine.
That's not Filipino time, that's 'I don't respect you or care about you that much' time
So instead of buying a proper trash can or closing your car door, you beat a sick animal. If I'd seen that, I'd have beaten you within an inch of your life. Screw you.
I recently flew EVA Air from Dallas to Manila for my Philippines trip, and I was really impressed. The food was great, the seats had plenty of room, and the flight attendants were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I've flown a lot of airlines in my life, and honestly this was one of the best flying experiences I've had. I'd definitely fly EVA Air again.
