Expats on Leyte

Hey Goingabroad, Hello neighbor. My wife and I live in the Mejia subdivison and would love to meet your family. There are a large number of expats here. Go to the Dunkin Donuts across from Jollibees downtown every morning between 10 and 1 pm and you are bound to meet some.
Don

Welcome to the forum, Sir. I think there are expats in that area as there are members here from there.

Thanks. I was already able to make contact with one person in the area.

Hi Guys,

We live in Puerto Galera, Mindoro but have a house and some animals in Albuera. We should be coming over in the near future, my 1st time there, my wife is from Albuera. Would be nice to touch base with some fellow expats.

Hi and hello.

My name is Don Davis and I live right next to Albuera in Ormoc. There are a bunch of expats around here and I would like to invite you to have coffee with us. We often meet at around 11 am at the Dunkin Donut downtown across from Jollibees. My wife's family is from Talisayon, so we go to Albuera all the time. Things in Albuera are a bit tense following the murder of the ex-mayor and arrest of his son on drug charges. Plus there was a double bombing in Bato a couple of months ago which led to soldiers being stationed all over town.

I hope to see you soon

Don

Thanks,I have seen quite a few  here,but just in passing

Hi Goingabroad,
We (my wife and me) just arrived in Baybay City, I am going to work at Visayas State University. We are from Germany and at the moment we are searching for a house or flat to rent, preferably at the coast or beach
If you know a good real estate broker at the region or if you heard about a house ... to rent, I would be happy if you let me know.
Greetings, Martin

I know this is old, but I have a GF in Ormoc, and spent 8 weeks island hopping and meeting her family.  I plan to return in August or September for an extended stay.  I noticed how smog seems to hang in Ormoc Bay, due to being on the back side of the mountains.  Is the air any better to the south of Ormoc?

I live in Ormoc and I never notice any smog at all. Clouds or blue sky. That's all. Maybe I missed it?

My wife is from Naga City but we were planning to retire in Ormoc. I heard the typhoons were very dangerous there. Is there a certain place in the city that is considered safer from any floods or damage or does it really not matter?  Just wondering because I am from Florida originally and lived in an area that was the safest from hurricanes but wasn't sure about the Ormoc area.  Thanks!

@Frank Lyszkiewicz Hi Frank, I just arrived in Baybay, Leyte May 20th this year. My girls family also lives here and is the main reason I'm living here. What part of Leyte are you possibly moving to?

I work from home on my laptop so I get to live wherever I choose which puts me much more in charge of my life.
