Before moving to Phils. think first.
There are some expats here keeps holding a bottle of San Miguel or hang out either at Drifters in Country Mall or Badgers. I have a british neighbor who is only 33 and drinks beer at sari-sari store next door because he doesn't have anything else to occupy himself. According to him he has been doing it for 2 years now.
Seriously, let your fiancee do the business. Keep your properties in the UK. Some make it here if they are tough and knows the ways of dealing with political people and locals. Try out first on what its like.. maybe 3-5 years and see how it goes for you.
