Hope that guy gets what he deserves. Made me quite angry reading about these scrotes on this thread. I'm not sure I could have resisted punching out the paedo from HK if I had spoken to him in a bar and he revealed his purpose for trips to the Philippines, however I have a low threshold for dealing with scum, which has caused me problems in the past!

My wife is from Pampanga, I'd certainly live there, maybe not Angeles - I havent been to Angeles but my wife says its reputation is deserved from what she knows of the place. The town my wife comes from is pretty nice, its like everyone knows everyone else and there are no big problems, I'd say that the majority of the Philippines would make a good home for an expat, probably just not Angeles. I'm actually looking for expact jobs in sout east asia at the moment as the economy here in the UK is so bad and it seems like there's a lot of good job opportunities for expats S/E Asia, unfortunatley not so much the philippines..but if we are a couple hours plane trip from the Wifes' family thats ok.

Someone mentioned looking for a place to live in Bohol - thats my dream too, although my wife wont have it because its far from Pampanga, weekly trips out to Bacalisag island and the corral reef would be the most awesomest.
