    I would like to ask everyone here to stop telling everyone what a great place this is.
    If everyone finds out, we will be flooded with foreigners (like me) and then it won't be our secret paradise anymore.
    (ok, so maybe I'm being a little selfish)..
    Is The Philippines a great place?....the best place on our planet.
    (but don't tell anyone please).

    I am no longer in Texas.
    As of January 7th I am a resident of The Philippines.
    I live in a small town called Aplaya which is North of Cagayan De Ori on the island of Mindanao.
    I get married on February 22nd.
    At the moment I have an extension on my visa, but I am attempting to make it forever.
    I came here from Houston, Texas.

    Hi Ron,

    I just came from Houston, Texas myself, I move to Bacoor, Cavite (30 minutes from Metro Manila), though I grew up in Dumaguete City I left the Philippoines in 1986 and just decided to come back last December 2009.

    Be safe out there.

    God bless Texas and Houston, but, the Philippines is better in every way.
    I lived in League City by exit 12 Of the Gulf Freeway and drove to my work at 290 and Beltway 8 every morning and evening, 65 miles each way. Even traffic in the Philippines is not as bad as Houston traffic. At least here we have no "road-rage shootings".
    There will always be a spot in my heart for Texas, but I will live in The Philippines forever.
    Welcome back to paradise.

    I must disagree...

    There have been cases of "road-rage shootings in the Philippines.

    But, "KTV-rage shootings" are much more common~

    I don't know about that Dong....
    But except for the Southside of Detroit and Watts in LA, the 4th Ward in Houston has to be the most violent place in the US.
    There is a joke there...... They call the 4th Ward a "gun check neighborhood" if you are going in there, they "check to see if you have a gun, if you don't, they GIVE you one".
    Maybe where I am living is the exception, but it sure is peaceful here in Aplaya.
