But if you get offended by what someone says then get over it.  Its one persons opinion.  It doesnt affect your life in any way..

Well. There is a huge difference between different opinions and BS

NOT related to what I wrote about bullies. Bigpearl and I had a heated disagreement a while, but we have made peace and we even put Likes at each other's posts now

Don't come here and expect to change the Philippines - but do come here open to the Philippines changing you!

I love that. Having visited the Philippines often, I feel confidant in knowing what to expect. It will be the logistics of the move, banking, visas and pandemic restrictions that will be my main questions. It is good to know someone actually comes to this forum for the right reason, which is to be helpful for the next guy in line. Thanks.

i'll just say that visiting and LIVING here are 2 different things, i visited the same village/brngy for 5 years -once or twice a year and was met with smiles all around every time, many good friends ,...after building a house there and retiring in it- ha ha ha- no more smiles and the friends i made over the past 5 years are now back stabbers and rumor mills, thieves and vandals...

I will offer two unsolicited bits of advice:

Leave logic or expectation behind. This ain't Kansas Dorothy.

This part I will whole-heartedly agree!  logic will get you no where here, and you will only drive yourself insane talking to yourself since you will be the only person that understands your logic.

I talked with my Filipino business partner about that two days ago after the insainity at business registration three days ago.. (See own topic.) It was so crazy so we laught about it    
BUT I will not be happy if the registration handlers aren't done soon, because we need a business approved soon e g to the buy of the real estate with business so the Deed of sale will be in correct name...

Good Day!

I am just here in Quezon City but where I live is a hotspot for Covid! So traveling to another island will be a challenge;

Yes it is nice in Cebu; I travelled through motorbike around the island; love the market day;

Last I looked Metro Manila and Metro Cebu were the only with the HARDEST restrictions.
Around half of the rest of Phils had middle
and the rest had lowest  (as for instance Palawan and South Leyte.)
Although since I looked there have become some more differences between municipalies in same "covid section".   E g Palawan is "free" as long as follow cover rules and don't show illnes symptoms. (Except perhaps they have started demands of quarantine when coming FROM Puerto Princesa to SOME municipalies. They had decided that but postponed so people could get home to the election about if split Palawan or not.)
