I married a Fliipina and it has been Heaven on earth for me. I even love her family. We bought two properties and put a house on one which we may sell. The other is larger and we plan on having a vegetable garden there. I know there is a problem getting onions, I plan on contacting the Dupay Seed company (on facebook) for our seeds. We have relatives who are raising Chickens and Pigs. I guess I should mention we left in 2017 and will be returning there in about 3 mos. While there the prices at the market were quite reasonable. I don't know about now? From what we have been told the Major stores have changed, I used to buy American foods and these may not be readily available there now. So we have that to look forward to when we get back there. I really miss the place. The people. I did not encounter any bad while there but then too I was with my wife. I must say that having a wife, or friend is a godsend. It is also good that we can count on her relatives. Well that is all.
