    Very common here. A shop in Robinsons tried selling me some Adidas shoes for 8k. Found them on the Adidas website for 3k with free shipping. These local shops are out of their mind charging these prices and are going to put themselves out of business. They could pull this crap 5 years ago when they had the local market all to themselves. I won't even bother going into local shops these days. I won't bother myself with their clueless employees, out of stock nonsense and over priced products any longer. I go online for almost everything now.

    Actually using the car insurance here is one thing that is not so complicated. The times we had to use it, it was quite simple. Get a copy of the police report, let the insurance company see the damage and give them a copy of the report, go to the repair facility or dealership, tell them to deal with your insurance company. Go pay your deductible when the work is done and drive away.

    Not just that, the risk of getting infected at such a government facility seems a large multiple of what you'd be up against in a hotel.

    People's attitudes change over time, get more relaxed, no corona 19 here, or we don't see or know anyone who is infected. Cancel fiesta in Bacong haha, try to tell people don't make kids anymore, would be the same. I see the kagawad go to the beach and try to enforce the rules, the reaction is people laugh or get angry at him, then yesterday the police show up, no one laugh or get angry. I use my common sense and take it seriously when I'm at public places, but I also get more relaxed, I don't know if we can go swimming or fishing, but I think so because no one stops me and I feel very safe when I'm alone at the sea or together with friends I meet as we did before corona 19 but again, I use mask always bring alcohol when I'm around, sometimes even more than one kind of it

    Masks are not meant to protect the wearer....they are to protect others from our sneeze or cough droplets. We wear them out of respect for others. The only masks that will provide the wearer any protection is an N95/respirator masks, which are very hard to come by.

    I don’t think think that most people make it a first condition that the woman they marry be a Filipina. You just find the woman and learn where she comes from, at least for me, 35 years ago. I had never been here and couldn’t differentiate Asian nationalities very well. Also, I met her in the USA, kept working there for 33 more years after getting married, had 2 kids, put them through college in the US, retired and moved here as I had promised early on in the marriage. I was not an old fat guy marrying a young Filipina at the time; I weighed 145 lbs and we are both close in age. Now I am an old fat guy married to a not as young Filipina. So as you may have guessed, many don’t go searching for Asian women or particularly desire to live here when they start out, it’s just the way it turns out. And yes, I was young and divorced at the time and didn’t necessarily want to get married again, however, her visitor visa was expiring so we got married and she got a green card. She became a US citizen. Best decision I ever made.

    Hello Sir, Sorry for the delay in answering but we have been out gathering food today and making a few deliveries. I think if you click on the "Photos" button on the FB page it will allow you to see the pictures of food that we have and you got the price list, I see. I don't know why but I am unable to see the friend request you sent. My wife does the FB stuff, I don't do FB. About us. I had an 80 chair "breakfast and plate lunch" type restaurant in the South in the US for a while, and enjoy cooking. We started making lemon meringue and chocolate meringue pie here as a hobby just because we heard so many expats complaining about the lack of food they really liked and some things that they couldn't get. We have been selling pies at the Valencia market on Sunday since last October, and sell desserts to a few restaurants in Dumaguete and Valencia. We started expanding based upon requests and what I know how to cook and have added many things. We decided to bag and freeze individual servings and usually sell that way but sometimes do sell whole trays or pans. Our quality is as good as one can buy here, which if you know where to buy supplies, is on par with the US mostly. The things that are not so good here or not available, we make ourselves. Like ricotta cheese and Italian sausage for the lasagna and country sausage We make our own spaghetti sauce and many other things. We try to keep the prices down and our main goal is to supply good food at a good value. Usually we take orders and deliver in one or two days as often times we have to make some of the food to fill your order. We understand a small order if you want to try the food before you buy much, but once you see if you like it we like to get orders of at least 4 or 500 to justify a delivery, however, if you are on the way to our next stop we will work with you if necessary. We don't want you to be hungry. If you have any questions just ask.
