Olongapo is now a duty free zone with a theme park, casino and duty free stores. Lots of retirees live around Barrio Berratta and Subic City. I was in Makati a week ago, retire there a condo is about $40k US but you can live within walking distance of a IHop, Starbucks and awesome restaurants and clubs. I have been told Angeles City has a lot of Foreigners living there. There is also a VA clinic in Quezon City. As for medical care, they have some great new hospitals. My wife is a dialysis nurse, we saw a clinic advertise treatment for pesos 1,800 about $40.

You mean there is no Cherry Club or Fiesta 66 club anymore.
Looks like inflation has really taken a toll on the peso. When I was there in 72 the rate was 8 to 9 pesos per dollar.
I know. My brother was there 3 weeks ago at Subic. I’ll be heading there in December after canada for business. I already got my initial docs for Rockwell residences but I was gunning for the penthouse lol. On hospitals, it’s Makati Med.
I am settling in Davao City. I have been all over the Philippines, and I never saw more x pats anywhere else, than I saw in Davao City. They are everywhere. It has a law and order, kick a$$ mayor, who does not tolerate any foolishness. I actually met more Brits, Aussies, Europeans, than Americans, but there is a ton of them. All the ones I met, had Filipina wives.
