My wife puts money aside
We eat beef and steak most days
It’s a good life but accomadstion is a problem we pay 15000 but no aircon or shower facilities
We wish to move but you need to be quick
Lots of homes in Valencia or further afield but not in dumerguete
Beware of skin tax
Beware of beggars look at shoes they will be wearing Versace it a criminal gang only give to disabled
We have a very good life on 100000 php per month my advice is ignore the bloggers Filipinos are really nice people helpful but there nobody’s fold so treat them with respec good luck and stay happy t
