If its just you and the dog for now, then 12-14k would be more than reasonable for just the two, come here first hotel for a few days or airbnb and you will get better options/offers on the ground, (DONT COMMIT TO ANYTHING ONLINE UNTIL YOU COME HERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF)

if you are going south of the border (down mexico way, then you will have to factor in traffic) if travelling an hour in a jeepney to buy in the supermarket or to meet friends everyday the appeal will soon wear off and it will be come a drag in the oppressive heat

and finally THINK PESO AND NOT DOLLAR....................if you plan on shelling out 20k for rent and another extra 25-35k in other little expenses it will soon rack up so plan ahead (a little sickness here and there will eat into the money here too) sickness also includes the ladies family

come here with your eyes open , pocket sewn shut and leave your 1st world mentality at the airport

 

Hello Dave, the last time I was in the Philippines I got rid of my dog I had at that time because I had heard about all the quarantine and so on. This time I am doing like you say I am doing my research and I have found a lot of info on bringing him with me. I keep his shots and flea and tick constantly up to date so it will be easy come time to make the move. Doing the research I have found that yes its a little bit on the hectic side but I know that it will be worth it. My profile pic is my buddy I am talking about. That pic is the infamous Willie Tee!!! LOL
This is Willie the day I adopted him in Aug 2013 he was 7 weeks old.

And this is him now at 3 years and 7 months old. He is a lap dog and he is a bed hog too!!! LOL He is also a very good watch dog. He will let me know if he hears a strange noise outside.

 

Not off topic yet, but if you are thinking of bring you dog, give yourself about 6 month to learn the animal export program, get the things done over there like vet check, Department of Agriculture clearance etc, and the paper work for here too. It takes time but is worth it. Brought my 2 Persian Cats 5 years ago, one of my best decisions I made, against most people's advice.
