I know some folk would not call the Philippines paradise et al and there are some that don't like the place one bit, but still they go.
But has it put a block on thinking of going for a holiday or moving for that longer period?
When you read the news and even hear stories on here too.
I know that nowhere is safe these days too.
Not many people the top of the Philippines is it Vigan area, could that be a better choice?
The safest place would be Batanes. 0% crime rate.
Some countries are quite volatile politically speaking, could be worse, we could be chatting about somewhere like DRC or Libya
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Looks a little bit to remote for my liking okay for a holiday, but to live there ? i dont know, but there again La Roxas, bukidnon is somewhat remote, but thats where t,other half lives so Im biasedOriginally Posted by Ako Si Jamie

As they say, 'it's more fun in the Philippines'...
Anyone seen Terpe????????
I was wondering that too. Maybe just taking a break from the forums ?
Yes, you're probably right, Graham. Given that he had already stopped taking/responding to Private Messages, I decided to query his [somewhat uncustomary ongoing] absence with theI was wondering that too. Maybe just taking a break from the forums ?

But ...... that's the last I've heard!
He was going on holiday with friends for a week or so, and maybe thought a break for longer was needed.
There's a lot to see and do in the Ilocos Region and it's a place on my bucket list. Not sure where I'll be going on my next visit although Guimaras, Concepcion and Isla de Gigantes (below) are distinct possibilities. Perhaps Coron. Maybe Masbate. Even Catanduanes & Caramoan.
I did have a flying visit to Guimaras for a few hours with Jans cousins family earlier this year, to be honest not really fair to comment as it was only for about 4 hours to a resort, i can only say its worth another look, and the Mangos are certainly edible
Mangos in Guimaras are said to be the best in the world although Zambales might put in a claim. As for Batanes, I agree it's a remote place to reside but if one wants to live the quiet life on Scottish-esque islands in subtropical temperatures it might be an option.I did have a flying visit to Guimaras for a few hours with Jans cousins family earlier this year, to be honest not really fair to comment as it was only for about 4 hours to a resort, i can only say its worth another look, and the Mangos are certainly edible
Guimaras is ok, nothing super special however.The mangoes there are the same....just Ok

He's fine, by the way
Talking of 'privileged few' SimonObviously only the privileged few can access that page, not us lowly plebs
He's fine, by the way... how come you happen to be the only person (I'm aware of) who's privileged to know Peter's still OK? Are the pair of you in regular contact?
As far as I'm aware,Guimaras is ok, nothing super special however.
Phil and family are still resident there... though I haven't corresponded with him for a very long time now.
I dont know anything, so does that make me lower than a pleb?Obviously only the privileged few can access that page, not us lowly plebs

The longer you are away from the forum the easier it is to keep away, but you may just have a sneak look in now and again.
