Best Posts in Thread: Hello to all from Pompolino

Hi, Paul. That was a very good introduction -

 

Hi Pompolino welcome ,great intro , from one aussie to another if my partener or myself can help your partener in anyway when she arrives in april pls dont hesitate to pm me cheers

 

Hi,

This is my first post and I wanted to introduce myself. My real name is Paul and I am currently living in Sydney, Australia. I am 55 years old and my first trip to the Philippines was in 1977 when I fell in love with the people.

I have been a single Dad for the past 14 years but the last of my kids will finish her studies and move out at the end of this year - so I have been planning for a very long time to retire and come and live in Dumaguete with my partner of seven years (from Antipolo, Manila) and her 2 school aged kids. My partner will come to Dumaguete in April in preparation for the new school year and we have just about decided to live in Valencia.

She will be looking for a small rental until I arrive late in the year when we will be looking for a larger house to rent which can hold the visitors that I expect from Australia. We do have plans of building but that would be after a year at least after we are certain of exactly where in Dumaguete we wish to live.

I would like to be part of your community receiving and eventually giving help and also to the wider community in Dumaguete.

If there is a Valencia member who can recommend good private elementary schools nearby and a general area where my partner may start looking for a rental for herself I would appreciate the help.

Looking forward to my time here on the board.

Pompolino.
