I have a friend I graduated from high school with in Arizona in 1966 who is an expatriate living on south Cebu Island near Bato in the Philippines. He just emailed me and said they got a lot of rain and the power was out for a while, but things are pretty much back to normal where he’s at. They just had a typhoon last week too and an earthquake before that. He must be blessed because there was no damage to his home and no injuries to anyone he knows.
A tropical paradise there, for sure (punctuated by sporadic natural disasters).
A retirement income goes a long way there.
