HEY JOE!

What is it like for an American to be retired and living in the Philippines? Hey Joe.

If you have not been to the Philippines but always wanted to go, it is a wonderful place to go. I love the Philippines and I love being retired here because it is so laid back and slow pace.

The people are wonderful and always are courteous and kind even when they are so poor. I love the Filipino people. There are the bad elements too, but overall it is a great place to come and live and invest your money.

Everything is in English, and all English speaking people will get along fine here as most everyone can speak English in some degree. Since I live here I have started learning the language and speak a small amount. Filipino's love to hear a foreigner speak their language.

One thing you will hear a lot of as you walk along the streets is the phrase "Hey Joe" where you going Joe. If you are a single man walking in the streets you may hear "Marry me Joe". I just smile and move on.

There are some adventures you need to avoid. If you come here, do not attempt to rent a car and drive yourself. You will be in for a shock if you do. Always have a driver drive you around. Taxi's are very reasonable in price but always insist that your ride be on the meter. Taxi cab drivers tend to take advantage of foreigners.

Take in the sites, and have your trip planned out so everything can be arranged ahead of time.

If you plan to invest in the Philippines seek out reputable people who have your best interest in mind. I have learned a great deal in this area and it is very important to deal with people who know what they are doing.

If you plan to buy property in the Philippines you need to look at all the parameters dealing with Real Estate. A Foreigner cannot own property but a Foreigner can own a condominium or a townhouse.

If you need property and want to control that property then you need to create a corporation. This is an area that is seldom used because few understand the laws on this. It is one the greatest tools to allow a foreigner to own property in the Philippines using a corporation.
The main thing about the Philippines they have beautiful people and they are mostly courteous and nice to you. Just try going through a McDonald's and see what kind of treatment you will get. You feel better at McDonalds than a first class restaurant in the states.

I met a lady a few months from Boston at Alona Beach Panglao, Bohol who was visiting her son. She had been here for three months and had rented a beach house. I was asking how she was enjoying herself living in that beach house by her self (she was 80 years old). She looked at me and told me she loves it. She has two maids who do all her clothes. She gets a massage every night before she goes to bed and she is having the time of her life. I told her that is the real life. I too enjoy these same things and I would not trade it for anything.

Well, that is it for this article. Life is good in the Philippines........Hey Joe
