I have retired and moved to Pototan from Boston. Pototan is a town in Iloilo Province, just about 45 minutes outside of Iloilo City. I posted here a few months ago, so I thought i would post an update to whoever in interested.
I had high expectations moving here and the first full, contentious year has exceeded those expectations. I have received my 13a visa, my driver's license and my ID card. I spent my 3rd Christmas here.
All I can say is that I love the Philippines.
