Firstly,welcome to this site.
Secondly,Wayne i would like to be very honest with you.You say on your profile that you do not have money and you are 66yrs of age working as a rural mail man.So how do you expect to survive in the Philippines?You need to ask yorself that question.
Please best you do some real good homework before you decide to move,so that you do not become another statistic.And end up there with nothing.

Some good advice dkcape.聽 I always recommend anyone moving to the Philippines to come check it out first.聽 Living here is not for everyone and getting a job here as a foreigner is not easy.聽 Age discrimination in the work force is rampant.聽 Most of the jobs are for the younger generation and I'm talking under 30 years old.聽 I hope that some of the expats living in the Manila area, where you say you want to move, see your post and help you with some information.聽 My wife and I live here, in a paid for house, for about $1200 per month.聽 We live decent and I don't have much to complain about.聽 Check out Texan in the Philippines (my website) for information about living here.聽 I know some people that live in different areas of the Philippines and living away from the larger cities is less expensive.

That's a good estimate, and I have heard of people that can live on less.聽 It mostly depends on your lifestyle and location.聽 Basically the more you can live like a native in the sticks, the less expensive it will be.聽 The more you what to maintain your 1st world country living, the more it will cost you.

Raising your own pork is good, but they won't let you do that in the city. I'd like to be able to buy the chicken wholesale though, how do you do that?聽 If you buy the local fruits and vegetables, it's cheap, but if you want something out of the ordinary, it will cost a bit more.聽 My Granny Smith apples are P25 (.62)each and that's about the most expensive fruit or vegetable I buy.聽 We also only have air con in the bedroom, that seems to be how most people do it around here.聽 I don't have lots of trees of any kind, but I'm glad that coconuts and bananas are pretty cheap here, being a tropical climate.聽 You can get them for next to nothing.聽 I think a coconut costs about P8 (.20) each.

Well Wayne Hall you should check out a couple of 大咖福利影院s and ask questions there.聽 A good one from a guy that lives in that area is: philfaqs.com . He has just about anything you want to know about the PI and in that area.聽 I think he is also 66 years old.聽 Another good one liveinthephilippines.com, but he lives in Davao.聽 Of course there is mine: texaninthephilippines.com , but I live in Samar.聽 I know that Dave at PhilFAQs can help you plenty though.

Hey Texan thanks for the input, and nice job on your site!

Hello,

Your place sounds nice with the trees and growing your own pigs. How far out of Davao city proper do you live? Do you drive or use local transportation when going into town? Are the trees around and close to your house, do you have a private well, for water? Are you completely retired or do you do odd and ends type jobs, or travel back and fourth, i.e. work a job in the USA part time or part of the year?

Sincerely.
