I first came to the Philippines in 1989, just roaming around. Ended up meeting a young lady from Leyte, brought her to the States and got married in 1990. Somehow we still seem to be together. After about 30 visits to the Philippines we spent a couple of weeks in Dumaguete last month. In our opinion it seems like the best retirement location in the Philippines. We will probably start migrating over the next few years.
Welcome to our Forum Last Call. I am also from the San Diego area and retired here. I know there are at least a couple American guys here married to filipinas from Leyte. Congratulations on your long-term marriage, rather unusual in this day and age.
