Hi Everyone
Im hoping by posting this it will help me make a better decision on my quest to Move to the Philippines. I have read some similar topics to this one on this Forum before but it seems people start changing the subject and the answers become diluted with off subject conversations. So here is my attempt and let's see how this one goes. I am a retired NYPD Detective so I pretty much receive a nice pension every month. Im single with no kids and have no interest in making a family. I enjoy my freedom and enjoy spending the money I receive on traveling and enjoying life. Most of all I enjoy my freedom. I have been to the Philippines a few times already and absolutely fell in love with the places that I have been to, the people I have met, and the food is amazing. Being born and raised in NYC with a Puerto Rican heritage I grew up speaking spanish at home so I was able to pick up on some Tagalog words here and there. So there is a little of my background. Now I know I would not like to live in Manila because of the crowds, pollution, crime, etc ... I have been to Cebu back in 2001 and did like it a bit. Also got a chance to do a quick visit to Bohol. I visited Bagio and to me seemed to be overcrowded and the cold weather Im not to keen about . I've been told despite what some are saying on this feed, that Davao City is a safe place to live and has been rated one of the safest places to live in the Philippines. I've never been to Davao but I am planning my first trip there in February 2017. Im hoping to stay there for a few months so I can see and get a feel for myself. Now I have noticed on YouTube of a few people vlogging from Dumaguete so now I'm a bit confused. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks and please try and stay on the Topic. LOL.
