I honestly have lots greater pals, and lots greater wealthy and influential pals quite. Me and my spouse nevertheless have kinfolk there. I talk the language and the tricks of the commerce. putting up and working a corporation is far less complicated. and that i will continually pass to the U.

How un-informed ukfoo is! Filipinos are remarkably free of body hair and their noses are cute. They also do NOT speak Spanish, except for the top 1/4 percent of the very rich who control the country and keep the masses in poverty, although, finally, there is a decent middle class emerging.
Life is cheap here, even having someone knocked off can be done for 50 quid.
1000 quid a month is plenty, in fact, unless you like expensive girls, you probably couldn't spend that much, you'd be drunk and fat on 30 quid a day!
I've lived here well for 14 years and fly everywhere and run a yacht and motorbike and I spend around 10 quid a day averaged over the year!
Good beef is a lot more than 1.50 though, but the health care is good and cheap, and apart from Dengue, there are not really any health problems to worry about. Most Filipinos have a remarkable resistance to disease, and seem to be able to live on very basic food all their lives, and still keep good skin and muscle tone.
I love it here, and will not leave!

True, but regarding the drawback of not getting sick... The Philippines has one of the most number of doctors in Asia and perhaps the world. The hospitals (in urban areas) are quite good and up to date. They export nurses and other medical people so the training is not sub par. There are a lot of specialists that are very very good. And, medical care is so much cheaper than in the US. Locals know where the best hospitals are.

£1,000 a month is indeed a lot if you are by yourself. In fact it is a small fortune here.
The hospitals are good and a private room is only £15 - £20 a day, with nurses. The consultant, medicines etc are extra on top.

£1000 is a lot of money in the Philippines.
I wouldn't migrate to the Philippines though, I was born in London, UK (my parents are filipino) and it is 500% better.
I only go there for a holiday and to see me relatives...
I'll probably stay there longer if I want to find a hot filipina wife that is willing to suck penis and fuk like a rabbit.
