EARLY WARNING: You know there is a two day ban on alcohol sale this May (9th and 10th I think from memory) due to elections - so start stocking up now.
I am little late on this post and I do not have anything to report on the storm in the Philippines but I can report that the temps here in Utah are 9F and about -12C so I am REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to living in the Philippines.
Welcome aboard and certainly understand why one would look forward to living here. The Wife and I left the West just over 3 years ago and it's the best decision we have ever made.
