A resort is nice for a week. IT Park or Ayala if you're single or want nightlife and shopping, Mango if you want go-go bars, dive bars and nightclubs. Other areas if you just want a quiet long-term life with family
Thanks for sharing some positivity. I went to McDonald's yesterday for a McFlurry, paid the friendly cashier, and then another friendly employee brought the ice cream to my table. It was a really pleasant experience!



Only been once. Of course I got kicked out for indecent exposure before I even got to compete...
Good morning, I'm the founder and managing director of OPKO Finance, based in Cebu. We're an international accounting, tax and corporate services firm with around 20 professionals working in Cebu, Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai. Our Philippine office is in Cebu, but we help clients all over the Philippines, including Manila and the Visayas, so being in Bacolod is no problem. We have a lot of experience helping international clients with cross-border taxation and structures involving several countries. With multiple citizenships, we'd first need to understand the full picture: your citizenships, tax residence, residency status in the Philippines, the countries involved, your sources of income, and any business or investment structures you have. Citizenship alone doesn't determine how you're taxed. Tax residence, source of income and how the different countries interact may all need to be considered. Feel free to send me a private message with some basic information about your situation and the countries involved, and we'll figure out how our team can help.

Welcome to the Philippines. Don't expect common sense or understanding for the ordinary situations life throws at you. Out of stock.
Wow, you might be the most delusional one yet.
Most coffee is garbage unless it says arabica or robusta, whether a blend or 100% of either.
We got our quota visa and looked into citizenship. It's a ridiculous process, and you have to give up your nationality. Hard pass.
Why the Philippines? Why not stay in the US? Private school in the Philippines is expensive and on par with ordinary public school in the US. No reason to pick the Philippines on $5k a month.
6k is the fixer price. 1,200-1,300 is normal.
Sorry, I can only answer about scholarships plus some extra info on schools here that you can go over with the mom. For grants, I know there are some government ones, but I'm not sure what the eligibility requirements are. Schools here do have scholarship programs, but not as extensive as in the US. At any school she wants to apply to, she can ask about available scholarships and even grants. Some are based on her high school performance, some on her performance in college, and some have other criteria. But depending on the school, some scholarships exist in name only, with requirements deliberately set to be unreasonable, borderline or completely unattainable, so the school can claim to offer scholarships while barely handing any out. If she can get into UP, especially UP Diliman, she'd get the best education in the Philippines at practically no cost to you. At most just dorm costs and maybe minor miscellaneous fees (less than K-12 private school tuition). Depending on her field, PUP could be another decent state school option in Manila. As for private schools... honestly, almost all of them aren't very good. Definitely avoid DLSU. I only bring up DLSU because she seems to be aiming high, and in Metro Manila DLSU is considered one of the "top" schools. But... the quality has dropped a lot (even though it's still counted among the "big 4"). Locally it's still revered, but that isn't based in reality. And the tuition is ridiculously high. All that tuition really buys is connections to help students get ahead domestically later on. I've had teachers from DLSU, and every single one had a massive ego with no real knowledge to back it up. Even their master's graduates would struggle with the exams I took for my bachelor's at my alma mater in North America; they might not even pass my senior-year exams. Of the big 4, UP and UST are probably the best options, UST being private. If she wants to go into health care, UST can be a great alternative if UP doesn't work out. Just a note: their nursing program can get pretty stressful for students because of its 100% passing-rate record. I hope you get the information you need for your decision.
Foreign remote jobs. If you're a Westerner looking for an actual local job in the Philippines? Tough luck. Unless you have some very rare skill they don't have.




I really enjoyed your post. Hopefully the commenters behave so we don't have to shut the post down later.
This is what happens when politicians pay people to vote for them
This is one of those cases where it went viral so they had to respond, but if nobody had seen it, nothing would have happened. And nothing will really come of the investigation either. No progress here.




I use a Globe eSIM in my iPhone, but I use so little data that I don't have a plan. I just load a few hundred pesos when I need it. I also have Tello (10GB plan) for the same price as you. The problem with Tello is it's really slow and unreliable unless I'm out in the open. I also have T-Mobile, which is way better than Tello but pricier, so I only use it when I really need to.
Wise.
They'll just reroute to Thailand or Cambodia.
Just open your wallet. As long as you pay for everything, they'll love you! My advice: buy the parents a small nice gift, and don't have the whole family meet you at the airport, because they'll bring everyone and expect you to foot the bill! Don't stay at her parents' house, stay at a hotel. Don't listen to their money problems, they'll sneak them in. Don't get a savior complex. Have a nice trip.
