    More energy won't hurt anything. I think the big problem is not the companies generating power but more with the family/company that distributes the power.

    If you have decided to stay here permanently in the ph I would say yes to getting the 13 a visa. Benefits are not going to the bi every two months and paying and also wasting hours of you day falling inline! You only need to go to the bi once a year when you have it to do your annual report in the first 60 days and pay p310.
    This visa can be got at bi in Cebu or Manila. Annual reports can be done in any bi office but keep the receipts as they will ask.
    Only the card needs to be renewed every five years at $50

    Minefield Area My friend, The Law stipulate much as you will find on the Dole Webpage
    Official Website of National Wages and Productivity Commission
    For us, we Pay our live in with One day off per week 3.000 per Month all found
    The Gardner/Handy Man 5 days Mon to Fri we pay 300 per day Fed and Watered.
    It is a swings and Roundabout issue that is a never ending Cycle of letdowns. They are not Easy to Find and sometimes harder to keep.

    Family is Not always a good Idea but then quite a few here have Success we Don't but a lot of this is down to my Mrs she tends to make them a friend and it don't always work. I gave up trying to control the issue as I was labelled Strict.
    Best of Luck my Friend as it can sometimes be Hard to get them to understand, Please, Just do what I pay you for.

    That's me and ours but I am sure I may have more to say as you get a few answers. :wink:

    Most people buy 5 gallon containers from the local supplier, buy drinking water when outside.

    Everywhere I have been in the Philippines has had bad traffic, no matter the size or number of people on the road. Driving is just something Asians suck at.

    I would suggest trying another LTO office like Bais where the small town atmosphere is more friendly to foreigner$

    Happy Armistace day Jack and all peoples from Commonwealth countries. To Americans today is called Veterans Day. Happy Veterans day to all Americans!

    Background:
    In Flanders Fields
    [​IMG]
    by John McCrae, May 1915

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.

    Inspiration for “In Flanders Fields”
    Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, 1st Brigade Canadian Field Artillery. (1)
    [​IMG]
    During the early days of the Second Battle of Ypres a young Canadian artillery officer, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, was killed on 2nd May, 1915 in the gun positions near Ypres. An exploding German artillery shell landed near him. He was serving in the same Canadian artillery unit as a friend of his, the Canadian military doctor and artillery commander Major John McCrae.

    As the brigade doctor, John McCrae was asked to conduct the burial service for Alexis because the chaplain had been called away somewhere else on duty that evening. It is believed that later that evening, after the burial, John began the draft for his now famous poem “In Flanders Fields”.

    For the story behind the inspiration for “In Flanders Fields”, see our page at:

    You are allowed $10.000 in cash, or another denomination to that equivalent. anything over has to be certified by bank Certificate, if you are caught with excess it will be confiscated. Period!
    My Friend for me I would not take the Chance, there is no need for Large amounts of cash to be carried, banks and ATM's on every Corner. Said with tongue in cheek here but if it's hooky money, that's what they are looking for. Carrying very Large amounts to me is just too silly.

    Just saying.

    I have a pedicab I had made for our family. The bike was purchased separately then had a pedicab made and attached to the bike. The bike is a Honda TMX 125. The pedicab shop is on south Highway across the Dumaguete border in Bacong. They make custom sidecars as well.
