Moving to the Philippines Because of the Economy

I just learned today that an older couple who had moved to the US years ago and whose children grew up there are moving back to the Philippines. Why? Because they lost their jobs and house in California and can’t afford to live there anymore. Luckily this couple planned ahead and have a very nice house in the Philippines and can come to the US to visit whenever they please. It is happening all over and many people who after visiting this blog and reading my posts ask me about the advantages of moving to the Philippines. Of course, I always tell, them my first rule, that you don’t move to someplace you have never been. Rule 2 is when you go there you need to live on the economy and see if it’s for you. I would also recommend anyone who previously didn’t have plans to move there to wait a little while and see if the economy improves.
On another note I have new site to recommend to you. It’s called Kat’s World 3 and first of all it is written by an English teacher. But there is so much more to the site such as things about Filipino life from a nice young woman. Add the beautiful pictures and you have a great site please check it out.

oohh..This is really sad…I hope they have saved enough money to start a new life in the Philippines.
I know quite a number of people who have lost their jobs because of this financial crisis. I really pray that this crisis is resolved as soon as possible.
Hello, thank you for posting the link to my blog here. You don’t know how happy reading this made me. Hope you’re having a good time in this country I love so much.

Interesting post about those migrating back to the Philippines. My husband is Thai and if things get bad enough, we may have to move back to Bangkok (we’re in California right now).
I found your blog from the Blog Promotion group in Blog Catalog.
Another expat in the Philippines blog I know of is Jil in the Jungle:

This guy’s an American who used to live in Thailand, then he gave up Thai women and married a Filipina. You might find his blog interesting.
Hi Amy
Thanks for the link to the site. I plan on visiting his site very soon.
Good post. I enjoyed reading your blog.
Hi Alan
Thanks for stopping and if you have a blog please let me know. I’d like to visit it.
That is a real shame, they must have worked really hard to make a in the USA and now having to move back must really hurt.
This blog is very informative too. I love blogging when it is for or about something I believe in. I also read news blogs often and find that it makes me feel more intelligent every time I read them. I will definitely put your site on my speed dial.
