In retrospect, would you move again to the Philippines?

To me the Lack of foresight/planning/yearing for knowledge & turning to god/prayer/traditional healers to ward of evil spirits, when things go wrong, which more often than not always does, WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. ...Its  the way of life & its working just fine for me! (**No wrong or right Judgements intended).
Yes its more fun in the philippines everywhere you turn new experiences to be had.

The question here is presented to each of us to answer if we choose to. So, really no one can say the decision of another was wrong. It’s our choice.

Making chooses seems to end better when you have knowledge about what you are deciding on.

Before I decided to live here I did my due diligence to find out all I could about living in Philippines. I read books, spoke expats living here, vacation here, was station here in Subic bay as a Marine.

All that paid off. I learn from mistakes others and came here prepared as much as I could be. It really takes living here to know the place better. Vacationing, reading, talking others etc... is fine. But it’s nothing like living here to know the place.

I have found out that the Philippines want change to suit you. You have to adapt, adjust , and overcome. That adapting might be, buying set good earphones for noise, building wall screen things out, buying good vehicle to aid you in comfort, surrounding yourself thins that bring you comfort.

I have done and do these things therefore I have a sanctuary here. It’s my home in province. I have hectare land. So I control what happens inside of it.😇. I love plants so I surround myself with them. All this has help me. So, yes I would move here again.

I look at positives more than negatives. The cost living, the weather, the various islands I can visit. Go to makati if I like to.

I understand why most would do it all over again! I wouldn't! I can't stand Filipina's!!!
All the same! Screaming Mimi's and JEALOUS to a fault! My hat is off to you guys that love them! But I can't! But since I'm here I will just enjoy the Chinese ladies!
