View Of The Philippines ~ Getting
Hitched In The Philippines - by Graig Beasy - G'day! My name is
Craig Beasy and if you guessed I am Australian, you guessed right. I am
43 yrs young, very happily married to a beautiful lassie from the ‘Land
of Smiles’ and we have two pre-schoolers. My wife’s name is Brenda and
she comes from Cebu, an Island only 200 miles long and 40 miles across
at its widest point. Cebu-City incidentally is the freight hub for the
entire Archipelago. Our gorgeous daughters are Adele Kristina 3 yrs, Isha-Belle
16mths, and yes I am definitely in the minority gender-wise in our household.

Property in the Philippines & Japan - The
Steps To Buying Real Estate ~ By Ahmad Tijani/Asigo Chi - Buying
real estate in Japan or the Philippines might be easier than you thought.
And the prices of properties might also attract you to the region. The
Philippines has countless islands to choose from and Japan has a secure
legal system, good social welfare system and many possibilities for foreign
residents to own land. Jan/03 |

View Of The Philippines Part 2 - Land
Of The Beautiful ~ by Graig Beasy - G'day. Continuing on from last
month, how on earth did I end up stranded in Cebu during my six weeks there;
well let me begin with my departure from Tullamarine International Airport
at Melbourne, Victoria. I was due to fly out at 11:45pm on Tuesday
June 2nd 1998. I had arrived in Victoria’s State Capital a few days before
and was staying with my sister Merryn in the eastern suburbs. A day later
I received a call from Philippines Airlines informing me of a 2-hr departure
delay, which I didn’t find to bothersome. Sept./04 |

From Winter - A Special Place In The Philippines - Living
On The Cheap In The
Philippines - Couples and “singles” can enjoy a comfortable life in
former Navy Officer’s Quarters, for well within $175.00 per month!
(This figure is including; the lease, plus a small monthly “Power” bill
that includes, cable T.V., trash pickup & twice weekly “housekeeping”
and electricity. These buildings are extremely well constructed of
high quality materials, extremely well insulated, with American style
plumbing….(water in abundance is sometimes a problem in other areas outside
of the “5-Star” Hotels in the big city), and individual air-conditioning
in each apt. Nov./02 |

In The Philippines - Two
Years In The Philippines ~ by Larry Tadeyeske - Tired of the rat-race
that America has become? Tired of being run-down by women dominated by
greed and material objects and who jump into bed with your best friend?
Then try something different, there is a place where things move at a slow
pace, where women are feminine and lady-like, and the cost of living is
a lot less. The weather is warm year-round, white sandy beaches are everywhere
with coconut palms gently swaying in the breeze. Crystal clear waters,
you can see the bottom 15 feet deep. June/04 |

Estate In Bangkok, Bali & The Philippines - I then went to
Bangkok, a hot and crowded place, but my favorite city in this part of
the world, probably even ahead of Hong Kong. Poor planning got me there
in the middle of the Thai New Year, which meant everything was shut down
for a week, and I didn't get a chance to see a lot of property. On the
other hand, the whole city goes wild with a water festival; you walk down
any street and after five minutes you're completely soaked from squirt
guns and buckets of water thrown at you, day or night. It's great fun.
Bangkok reminds me of L.A. without the social problems. If you're thinking
of living in the Orient for a while, this is the place. - Doug Casey looks

The
Pearl Of The Orient - by Junfil Olarte - In
my profession in the aviation industry I have had several occasions to
travel to foreign lands. By the year 2003, I was able to have an opportunity
to work and live in Singapore; it is one of the cleanest countries in the
world; and a model of economic stability and public policy. I have written
a number of articles on living in Asia, most have appeared in monthly magazines
or website newsletters. However, none of my previous travels and experiences
come close to my time in the Philippines. Aug./05 |

The Feast of Forest and Crocodiles - The Pista y Ang Kagueban,
or the Feast of the Forest, celebrated on the last Saturday in June, each
year, is a day when much of the population of Puerto Princesa city turns
out to participate in a massive tree planting exercise. Since its inception,
the Pista has resulted in the planting of nearly two million trees, making
Puerto Princesa one of the last areas in the Philippines which is covered
in green. May/07 |
