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.

Just rent. You can move at anytime. You can get fully furnished apartments for more or get a place and buy the furniture. They’re around 100 per month and nice.
Recently I was watching the Campbell blog and now they have separated. Mr Campbell donated a house to his wife’s family. Great investment!
Watch out for the Jesebel evil spirit , that is exactly what happened to my husband when he retired there. She scammed him for child support and bought her and the child a house in her name. I told him to go to the US embassy to claim the child , but the embassy wanted a DNA done for all three of them. She was refusing to have it done but my husband insisted. After paying child support fir 5 years, the embasdy sent the tests in Ohio, USA . Guess what, he is not the father. So watch out for these scammers. My husband is a retiree, and dual citizen. God bless.
I know of soneone did the same thing . Never met her before just chatting online . Built a house and now his money is gone . I told him not to do that but did it anyway
I agree with you on that. Never buy houses for them at all. Even after marriage. I would say save money and wait after three years and then decide to buy a house. However, that wasn’t the case for me and my partner we have been together for three years and will be married in March of next year. I did buy her a house after one year of dating etc… But it was under a Pasalo contract (Assumed Mortage). I can walk from this deal anytime I want because I make payments every month and its all in her Name. Plus I also have a lease agreement for the house and lot. Etc….
