I started everything two months AFTER i got here at the PRA (Philippine Retirement Authority) office in Cebu, while i had a tourist visa. Manila is working on getting a PRA office in dumaguete, but it will be years, many years..
Check out the many SRRV threads under the Expat forums. Note your DD214 is THE record to drop your deposit to $1500 instead of $10,000.. I didn't even know about it until Jackie at PRA cebu told me about it...
