@gandangpuki Well, there is medical insurance that they pay for. It’s sorta like Medicare. I know this because I have seen it myself. They had an office in Mega-mall and also in Makati. My brother in law told me about it and that a lot of ex-pats use it. It covers everything. Inflation rates? I was there two years ago. I compared prices and know that as long as you don’t buy luxury cars and other things, it’s still cheaper in the Phils. I know this, I go back often beccause I have family there.
@gandangpuki My family still has property in the Philippines and it’s worth a lot of money. Obviously, location is key to price. Our property is not in the Visayan islands but in Quezon City (Commercial property) and a large lot in Baguio proper (mountain resort area with a lot of pine trees and mountain views). There are payment terms there with bank financing and other possibilities. Americans who do retire there have sold their homes in the U.S. and bought there so they have money.
@gandangpuki Well there you go again. It depends on where you live in Costa Rica, Mexico and the Philippines. There are still a lot of ex-pats there. Inflations rates? If you are a local, you do not shop in the area for the very wealthy of course. In the Philippines, I won’t go to Greenbelt to buy shoes or clothes, I’ll go to Greenhills for knock offs as an example. I buy when there are sidewalk sales like they have in Glorietta sometimes. Food is cheap in food courts and cheaper in wet markets
@gandangpuki I do not know what Im talking about? Location is the key obviously. That’s everywhere not just in California or the Philippines. And you don’t need to tell scare me that I’ll find out. Like I said in my other post, my family has property in the Philippines and it’s in the main Island of Luzon not in the Visayas. I know of a British National who married a Filipina who retired in the Phils. They sold their house in England and bought a house in the Philippines and a small business.
@gandangpuki Yes, there is no 911 system and the problem of getting to the hospital is an issue. There are communities where a medical centre or hospital is located close by. These communities are usually the areas where most ex-pats live. One example is Brentville International in Binan Laguna. Asian Hospital and Medical Center is 15 mins away located in Alabang via expressway and Makati Medical Centre is on Ayala Ave., St Lukes Hospital is at the Fort. A lot ex-pats live in Taguig.
@gandangpuki I just also researched the subject about medicare, there is medical insurance that can cover almost everything (including dental and vision care) although there is P2000 pesos deductible for dental it cover’s 80% of every type of work. The medical insurance would cost $2000 dollars american per year but it includes private room, etc. There are other types of medical insurance companies but the one mostly used by ex-pats is Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
@gandangpuki I’ll give you an example of some price comparison, you go to Makati to watch a movie if you are a senior citizen it’s free but if you are not a senior citizen, it’s P100 pesos. In North America, it’s $12 dollars. That’s almost a 10 dollar difference. You go to have a meal at the food court, a rice topping type of meal can cost anywhere from P60 pesos to $200 pesos depending on what you want to eat but it’s not expensive. In America, a combo meal at McDonald’s is $9 dollars already.
@gandangpuki Pop / soft drinks is like 25 cents to 50 cents. In America it’s $1.20 including tax. A haircut cost me about 3-4 dollars at Bruno’s in Makati but in America it’s like $15 dollars just for a haircut and you are expected to tip too. Some places it’s $20 dollars for a man’s haircut. You want manicure/pedicure? it’s like 150 pesos to 300 pesos for both. In America, it’s 50 dollars. A full hour massage in Boracay cost $6 dollars, in America it’s 40 dollars for half hour massage.
@MrHardrod2 i can’t argue with you on this one…you’re right. services over there are cheap…food is cheap if you had the means of eating out…i agree…you’re making dollars and spending it in pesos. but what struct me is the home prices!…reasonble?…maybe not!…it’s hard to compare, financing over there does not go 30 years, ten years is the most with an average APR of about 18*%.
@MrHardrod2 so when are you going to move there?…soon perhaps?…if it’s so great there i would’nt had left. but anyway i do agree that there are places to live better than the good old U.S.A. or Toronto for that matter…a lot of filipinos in PI thinks america is paradise….not really!…PHILIPPINES is paradise but some don’t know that yet!…good luck on whatever you plan of doing….retiring there is really a good alternative…been thinking about that myself. lol
@MrHardrod2 good for you…you’re pretty well off then, so what are you doing in north america?
@MrHardrod2 do you like where you are now? or do you long to move somewhere else where the going is easy? lol
@gandangpuki I am doing fine now while Im still not of retirement age. I am currently working full time and still have at least 10 to 12 yrs to go before retirement but Im already looking for my options and know that the cost of living here has gone up dramatically since 30 yrs ago when I first moved here. So I do know what Im talking about and know what kind of money is need for a comfortable retirement. Your idea of retirement might be totally different than mine so I’ll leave it at that.
@gandangpuki You do not know the whole story. This not an OFW you are talking to. I migrated to Canada because my mother was here. I was born in the Phils but my father is an American citizen who also preferred to live in the Phils because the cost of living is higher in America. Im planning to move to the Phils when I reach the retirement age which is not too far (10-12 yrs). Cost is what matters in order to afford a better lifestyle. Which why I prefer to retire in the Phils.
@gandangpuki I would say for the kind of housing, yes reasonable or comparable to like States like Atlanta or Tennessee or North Dakota but I would not retire in any of those areas. Too dull for my liking. I like beach type or tropical type retirement comparable like Florida, Hawaii, California, Virgin Islands, etc but those places are expensive. If I sell my property here or have a business over in the Phils. I will be able to swing it. I already told you my family has property there.
@gandangpuki I forgot to reply to your comment on “a lot of filipinos in the Phils. think America and Canada is Paradise” My comment to that is America and Canada is great if you are rich and wealthy. Obviously there is discretion there in terms of spending power. If you are rich and well-off in America & Canada, it’s great. I would not want to retire in the Phils if I was wealthy and very well-off. I would be able to afford anything including the occassional holidays in the caribbean or hawaii
@MrHardrod2 the key word is “WEALTHY”. well, you still got plenty of time to save up for retirement. but how much exactly do you need to be able to afford the kind of lifestyle you want to live on your twilight years? or at least choose a place of your liking suitable enough for your money to outlast you. decide and plan…if not you may want to postpone retirement for a much later years. perhaps 65 or maybe 68. but if you can afford it…then go ahead, retire and enjoy the rest of your life.
@MrHardrod2 my idea of retirement in RP is…to grab me a cold one and smoke a joint every so often, go to a strip joint every so often, get a good massage every now and then, take a nap whenever i want to, read, play chess, open up a small rock and roll club in RP just to give me something to do, volunteer my time to charity, travel to see places and meet people, look at porn more often, eat well, exercise, hang out at the mall…pure and simple just to live a happy retirement life!
@MrHardrod2 you know we both are thinking along the same line. no don’t sell your property in canada, scale back. now is the time. if your property is paid for, rent it out and that would be a good suplemental income on your retirement. yes you can swing it my friend. i reckon you’re financially smart. if you buy in RP now while you’re still employed you can easily pay it off by the time you decide to retire then start a small business once you’re in RP. avoid starting one if you’re not there.
@MrHardrod2 if you’re thinking is in line with $ to Php conversion rate, sure it’s cheap!…but for an average filipino that makes about 350 pesos on average…150 pesos is half a days salary. if you take it on a $1=Php1 ratio 150 pesos is expensive. you can’t compare a $15 haircut to a Php150 haircut. a $15 cut in RP standard at 1=1 ratio is cheap. would equal to php15. however if xchange rate comes into play a $15 haircut in RP is expensive, but a $15 cut in u.s. is cheap!
sayang naman ang ganda ng house na ito, kasosyo ba ng meralco ang owner ? nagkabohol bohol ang mga kable sa harapan ng bahay, sirang sira ang porma ng bahay sa dami ng ibat ibang klase ng kable.
Siyempre naman there’s a lot of filipinos fhat can afford to buy this kind of properties. Hello !! Dami pa kayang mga ” kuuuuRap na pinoy. Mga politiko , military man , ang iba nga sa america pa bumibili ng house and lot
Diiiiibaaaaa hay kawawang juan
Ganito ba ang high end or first class subdivision cebu, cant even afford na ilagay ang electric cables underground para hindi “”EYESORE”"”" sa madlang people. Hehehe
Great so beautiful. I like so much.
love the house design but it would be better if it has a bigger front lawn and backyard….
