Sounds like you are adapting well. Keep your sense of humor and generally all is good. We all have our stories to tell. Just a couple that I still find fun. Am from the US and were visiting the PI during the Pinitubo eruption. Called the ... Read More
Banking and available money subject by toptroll
I'm about finished with most everything to make the final move to Bohol. We already own properties and we plan to build soon. The question which keeps coming up is as follows. "I have no idea what I should do about the availability of money from ...
Sorry for butting in on this. I do not have an answer on banking but will be very interested to hear what others have to say on this matter. My wife and I were recently visiting family in the PI and and looking for a place to retire. We cut a few ... Read More

Gotcha! Curious how you came up with Cebu. My wife is Cebuano and I lived in the PI a few years long ago. I really do not know much of the details of starting a business there so can't help you with that, or immigration issues you might run into ... Read More

What type of venture are you looking to get into or start up. My wife and I will eventually be retiring, probably on the island of Cebu, not definite as to where yet. Will be there in February to start our initial search. I thought it might be a ... Read More

I would be interested in hearing what you have to say also. My wife and I are currently looking at Balamban across the sound and a bit north in Cebu for retirement since it is her home town. I went to Silliman back in the 70's, lived in the Piapi ... Read More

OK..I think I got it... You have a dollar account in a bank in the P.I. You have a US bank checking account. You write yourself a check from the US checking account for deposit into the Philippine bank dollar account. The check takes a few weeks ... Read More

Pinaymentor; My wife is definitely doing the dual-citizenship thing. I know it will definitely make many things easier. We just have to find the time to get to DC or NY. I anticipate getting a resident visa closer to the time we make our move. ... Read More
