The cost of medical treatment here is very expensive, though we have national health insurance(philhealth) it only cover 20% of the hospital bill excluding doctor's fee and medication. As of buying house, a decent house could cost as much as 30k pounds depends on your choice. So imagine if you only have 30k pounds saving, it will only go in buying a house. And if you happen to decide to sell the house in the future, because of the economic crisis that the philippines is experiencing, it will take time before a potential buyer can be found.
its best to have a long vacation to see what life is here in the philippines, then from that experience, you can decide.
Good luck.
