Life Under The Palms

Expatriates in the Philippines: ETP will involve every aspect of life and living for those who already live here and those who would like to. It's an informational site for those of us who live here permanently to share our experiences and help make it better.
For those if you who want to retire here, or maybe just meet a Filipina and take her home to your own country, I and the others, who I hope will join in, will endeavor to make it possible to make it possible for you to have a good understanding of what you're getting yourself into, how things work, and to provide information on how to get things done.
Expatriates: If you want to gripe about the bad stuff, talk about the headaches your Filipina girlfriend - and her family! - are causing you; that's fine. I believe it will help to guide each of the ones already living here to smoothe the bumps - and let the "wannabe's" see what they may be getting themselves into.
Herein is the beginning...
