I am not alone. It's "More fun in the Philippines"! Plus, the exchange rate (47.6PhP:1USD today) makes life comfortable for us. I pay 5000 PhPesos per month for a two bedroom house two blocks from Davao Gulf beachfront. That's about $110 at current rates.
In 2012, the U.S. State Department estimated that there were over 300,000 to 600,000 U.S. citizens living in the Philippines.
Yer killing me!
Wow—$110/mo for a home near the beach.
Glad you found your paradise.
YIKES...how are the rest of the prices, for stuff, down there?
