Live like a king in the Phillipines

DJ, lets buy a whole town over there. Would be fun.

lol, and don't forget the designer knockoffs LV's for like $10!

the only thing that sucks is that foreigners can't really own property there

they say that about thailand too, but youd be hard pressed to try to live a decent life on $400 a month... mega hard... i know a guy who does and he's not lovin life..

Anyone want to go in with me? : ) lol

any proof to that? ived seen a number of foreigners who started their own business in a famous tourist islang named Boracay. believe me, they'ved grown old to learn the local language. i maybe wrong but i would like to know more about this

we need some pics from there

and seriously, you can live like a king there, but won't you be considered a loser by your friends because you had to go there to find a wife like that guy did and couldnt aford a decent live in your own country?

if you care what other people think about you, you're already a loser.

you don't live for your friends. you live for yourself.

i could do with a break from urbanisation

Most guys really don't care what others think while they fuck a different 18 year old cutie every night. ;-)

Yeah the Phillippines sounds like a wonderful place to go

Travel Warning

PHILIPPINES
March 23, 2005

This Travel Warning is being issued to recommend that Americans consider carefully the risks of travel to the Philippines. Terrorist groups, including Jemaah Islamiyah and the Abu Sayyaf Group, and radical elements of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front are planning multiple attacks throughout the Philippines. This information has been also released by Philippine government officials and is in the Philippine media.

The Department urges Americans who choose to travel to the Philippines to observe vigilant personal security precautions; to remain aware of the continued potential for terrorist attacks against Americans, U.S. or other Western interests in the Philippines, and to register with the U.S. Embassy. The Department warns against all but essential travel throughout the country in light of a heightened threat to Westerners. There has recently been an increase in bombings by the terrorist groups in Manila, the region of Mindanao, and other areas where terrorist groups are active. Bombs have exploded in shopping malls, on public transportation, at airports and port facilities, in places of worship, and in other public areas resulting in numerous casualties, including several deaths. Bombs have also been found at places of worship. Travelers should be aware that since security has increased at official U.S. facilities, terrorists could seek softer targets. Such targets could include but are not limited to places where Americans and other Westerners live, congregate, shop or visit, including hotels, clubs, restaurants, shopping centers, identifiably Western businesses, housing compounds, transportation systems, places of worship, schools, or public recreation events.

Americans who remain in the Philippines are strongly encouraged to register with the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Manila through the State Department's travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov. The U.S. Embassy is located at: 1201 Roxas Boulevard, Manila, Philippines, tel. 632-528-6300. The Consular American Citizen Services (ACS) section's fax number is 632-522-3242 and the ACS web page is at http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/rp1/wwwhmain.html.

Americans can obtain information on travel and security in the Philippines from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States; or 202-501-4444 from overseas.

US citizens should also consult the recent Public Announcement for the Philippines, the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for the Philippines and the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, located at http://travel.state.gov/ to obtain updated information on travel and security within the Philippines.

The day I have to pay for a fuck.... $10 or a thousand is the day I put a gun to my head

Well said!

Blah Blah Blah Terrorists.....the United States wants to keep U.S. $ in the U.S.

DarkJedi, Manowar, Sly....i say we all go in on a mansion. Probably $500 each a month?

So long as you don't mind all the whores i'll be bringing over on a regular basis. And the hookah...& the pound of thai sticks.

meta, you seem like the kinda guy who watches CNN and believes every
word he sees.

let them raise the "terror" level to orange again and watch you shit yourself.

Talk to Paul or Indy. They've been living over there for quite a while now and love it.

If it weren't for that pesky 13 hour time difference and my need to be here for you all, I'd be there too. ;-)

so if you were willing to spend 2000 or so a month youd be loving it

nothing to worry about that bro.. read below:

Safe in the Philippines? : Update Wed., Feb 23, 2005.
Statement from United States Ambassador to Manila Francis Ricciardone, The man who knows with the responsibility of the safety of every US Citizen here in the Philippines

Recent Safety Information, posted by Livinginthephilippines3 Member

Although those with many years of experience often assure first- timers that travel to and in the Philippines is not dangerous, the US State Department continually re-issues years-old advisories that make the Philippines seem only slightly less dangerous than Iraq. Interesting new report here as to what the US Ambassador to the Philippines, Francis Ricciardone said in the Manila Bulletin yesterday:

"(Ricciardone) brushed aside the perceived terrorist threats in the Philippines after the simultaneous terrorist bombings in three cities in the Philippines last week.

Instead, Ricciardone has urged his father, Francis Sr., to take a tour of the Philippines, and even invited the Filipino public for a tour of the US Embassy along Roxas Boulevard in Manila.

"We don't worry about (the security of American forces or of the Americans visiting this country). We advise Americans it's a fine place to visit, we take (Philippine National Police chief) Director General Edgar Aglipay's words to Filipinos as applying to us ? know
what you're doing, know where you go, pay attention ? and it's a fine place to be if you do that" (full story here)

It was interesting to learn a month or so ago that more than 75% of the US citizen embassy staff has applied to extend their overseas tours in Manila .. guess they aren't so concerned about the danger either.

what a jerk - you are such a stud man - we should use your sperm to clone a new race of superhumans

what utter crap

You really need a website for this?

whats it like over there? is it like mexico where its dangerous to go to certain parts?

I was soliciting opinions from known heterosexuals, not faggots. Thanks

I agree with you. You can do everything you want, it's YOUR life!

like everywhere - ghettos n stuff.

Sounds great.

[quote]Gambling, nightlife, booze, wine, women and song all okay, but forget illegal drugs. One leaf of marijuana or one grain of crack will cost you 12 years in a Philippine prison not country clubs like some in the US but places to make you remember not to come back.[\quote]




Paalam.

Sounds like paradise... damn that's cheap.

So living with all poor ppl around you, and that you can be 'lazy' makes you happy?

I prefer friends around me, family etc.

Besides that I don't like the girls there And yes I know they are skinny, friendly whatever, just not my thing

Don't worry about the terrorist threat. Just grow a beard like Cat Stevens and change your name while you are over there to Yusef Islam.

It worked for him!

there are wery wealthy communities over there.

I have a question. Here in Las Vegas, the population is approximately 99.9736% Filipino. If living in the Phillipines kicks so much ass, why are they all moving to the United States? Is it that they have to come here in order to make enough money to go back and live like kings or what? I tell you, that website makes it sound like paradise. I'm tempted to grab a few K and head out there, working just enough to pay the bills. If it sounds too good to be true, though...

SpaceAce

Also, am I the only person here who has read The Walls of Jolo?

SpaceAce

From reading the site.. seems like girls there are very religious.. tons of virgins and they dont sleep around... Mmmmh ... from a tourist point of view.. very disapointing..

One of the advantages of being a faggot is u generaly dont have to pay $10 slappers when you want a fuck. Visit any public convenience dressed as a policeman and hunky pop stars will be throwing themselves at you. However if you are as big an asshole in real life as you are on here, you could be one of the execptions.

BTW.... If you dont want the opinion of a faggot you should..... Oh wait a minute, you cant do anything - tough shit!

Sounds good. good read.

Amazing site, thanks for sharing the link, I wouldnt want to live there but some long vacations from the home-country sure do sound appealing (like 3 months or so)

I can't bring my wife.

get kidnapped my Muslim terrorist . . . priceless

those are a just a thing of the past, there is no such thing as peaceful neighborhood nowadays.
the dens of these terrorists are isolated to the public and are hiding in the deepest jungle of the south, don't believe everything that media feeds you. time for you to enjoy life and get that well deserve vacation on some hot spots like Boracay or Palawan.

More of Palawan Islands

Why would they need to raise the threat level? The election is over.

GREENHILS Mall RULEZ!!!

Many Pinoys (Filipinos) head overseas because of the continuously eroding local economy here. Plus in the 70's the country was ruled by a dictatorship and many families left due to Martial Law repression. Many (like myself) come back after a long time abroad to start businesses here.

Yes they can. There's DTI exemptions as well as maximum corp participation rules. Non-Filipinos/Non-balikbayans can also own homes/lots up to a certain sq meter space.

WELCOME to the philippines...mabuhay
hope to see yah here soon peeps

When you grow up you'll finally realize that you always fucking pay for it. So blow out your bains now pal.

This is like the second time in like three months that I've agreed with this man. What in the FUCK is going on?

Is his name Seth W ?
