Hello blackcat, my 1st gf lived in a squatters area in cebu,the hippodromo if you know it?
I found the way of life there was far better than anywhere here in the uk,as everybody helped each other,not like over here where not even your neighbours that have lived next door for 15 years want to speak to you never mind help you!! But as i said her so called "friend" who was jealous of her twisted her mind.So it ended otherwise i was going to live there with her and her family.Now i have met a girl from the province the way of life there is so peaceful apart from the "friggin cockerals"it is what i have really been looking for.So as the saying goes "don't knock it until you try it". The phils is a wonderful place to live if you want it to be.And if you look carefully you will find the right business oppurtunity in any area.
