Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.
Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.

Great ideas Enrique. Thank you
Ne Neng had 4 government Ids before you ever set foot in the Philippines. We both have PH bank accounts and passports. I know a little about relationships I was married for 40 years and have been with Ne night and day for 3 years. A lot of things that are often said about Filipinas only apply to kids not more mature woman like Ne. She is a 46-year-old business owner with employees.
Good video Reekay !!
It really is shocking how difficult Philippines makes it for people to get a government ID and be able to work.
Especially for the province dwellers.
The banks aren’t reliable. Their schedules and locations are atrocious- it requires long travel periods.
Waiting for the 10th for Philippines to open up again!
Helping a Filipina get government ID and/or a passport is definitely a solid gesture.
I had considered helping mine open up a Bank Account with PNB, but that proved difficult. I figured a joint account would make it easier to send her money without remittance fees.
I think the way it was supposed to work is that if I have a PNB account here in America and she has a PNB account there, we can transfer for free from account to account.
The passport fee is pretty high: one month’s salary for most of them. Her passport will allow her to come vacation with you or work outside the country.
