Dan, thanks for this nice coverage. I think it is great info, especially for those already beginning to settle down there. Many of us (or most?) are still living in our countries waiting for the opportunity come come there and are mostly concerned about the minimum required insurance and getting by the covid and quarantine requirements. Actually my main concern is just being able to come as soon as possible. Dumaguete is now high on my list because of you and Paul. I may go somewhere else first if they don’t open soon.Funny cause I know you kids are ready to go somewhere else, right? If you could make a video about counties that are presently opening up which of those you would choose first while waiting for the Philippines I would appreciate that. Am considering Cambodia and Vietnam.
Any way keep posting and all your efforts are appreciated for us here waiting to finally come.

Thanks for the info Dan. Anyone know if having Philhealth allows you to forgo having upfront money in an emergency or gives you more options to pay – or other advantages – in an emergency?

just for reference. i was in Makati 1.5 years ago. came down with a cough/cold. went to Medical City clinic waited 20 min to see a doctor. paid $8 for visit and $4 for 2weeks of meds.

Understandably, Health insurance can be a maze at best! You provide invaluable insightful questions to ask while searching for a policy! Thank You Kindly

Excellent job. You cover many situations others neglect, in particular the subject of repatriation. The real bottom line for cost is the price of a ticket out of the Philippines to at least Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or ideally back to your home country. Even with money, you have a low probability of quality care in the PI. Some exceptions, of course, but not enough to risk your health if you have a choice.

This is great information, I’m not sure how you get 2 “not likes” trolls everywhere I guess

You didn’t mention if you have any insurence or any for Qiang… or did I miss that?

One of reasons PI is attractive to me is that I am retired Military and the PI is the only place with a VA. But I also get overseas coverage other places. I still need to get evac coverage.

Of all the countries you guys visited which one is your favorite to settle down at
