Well, you still need to be careful with your budget, especially if you have a child who needs education.
Davao would be a good location. It has a few very good schools and hospitals, which are important on a tight budget as long as you remain within easy transportation.
The SRRV can be applied for in Phils and also can be applied online.
I'm still a little surprised of your choice, but hey diverstiy is the spice of life eh?
I have no idea of your age, but hopefully you either have a private pension coming along soon or are not too far from state pension age.
If you can find a good income from your own business within Pinas, well done.
Better than most hopefuls
Good luck Whoosh.....................
BTW, be careful about hiring help unless you know exactly what you're doing.
Just be sure to keep a low profile
