Seems expensive to me also Charly. Admittedly the rebuilding cost of our house (minus the lot and foundations) would be way lower than yours, we...
Just in case you missed the headline of that entire website page: The rules on that page refer only to "foreign income". So whatever the status...
It is not always easy to speak truth to power, but if there is any government on this planet that should know the core definition of a...
Been there twice on a touristy trip with visitors from Europe. Both times the only boats I saw were the ones they use to ferry tourists from the...
No, what I understand from the article is that pensioners will receive a higher pension without the monthly premiums for people currently paying...
Any state's (even the "welfare" ones) primary task is to keep their citizens safe. Good healthcare doesn't help much if it's raining bombs on the...
As for Filipino expats (most are called OFW's here -Overseas Filipino Workers-) sending money home, yes they do and also for the purpose you...
There's several things in this thread that I'd like to comment on, and it may end up being a rant. First off, I will try to stay away from...
There's still quite a few things "cheap" in the Philippines: 1. and yes, eating out is still one of those (I will elaborate, see below). 2. strong...
I don't quite understand the "solar isn't a good investment" opinions. I heard those views from multiple sides, but at the same time I get advice...

Getting a modern hybrid car with a ~20 kwh battery is also in the back of my head. Especially if it has V2L (vehicle to load) capacity that might...
Just noticed that for some reason that escapes me this thread is in the "off topic forum".
In my experience, if you use Lazada regularly and have the occasional return, then it makes much more sense to ask for a credit to your Lazada...
I struggle with making a decision on investing in solar myself, mostly because of lacking knowledge when it comes to solar/electricity. I reckon...
Shawn, the "jam as many as she can" idea is a sure fire way to disaster. On the other hand, your 50 seems very conservative for the available...
Just check the Starlink website information about the mini. It's meant for low intensity mobile use, 50GB data per month, 3000 Php per month,...
I hope for your son that the Philippines doesn't have a law similar to the Netherlands, which says that any citizen will automatically loose their...
It is a very sad statistic indeed, but it's also not really new. New cases worldwide have been on a downward path for at least the last 25 years,...
It looks well thought out Shawn, but my layman's eye wonders why you're building so high? Also, hope you either got a building permit or made...
