I am not sure whats going on with that guy. He really had a bad day. I hope that he really learned his lessons. He could end up in jail if he doesn't change his attitude. Thank you very much for stopping by! Hi Paul – Same here in Davao a lot of the workers are helpful. I am not sure whats going on with that guy. He really had a bad day.

Everyone has been most pleasant and helpful. All I can say is that if you dont understand the rules, then ask someone to explain them to you. There is always someone willing to do that.

I'm glad that you like our web magazine. That's one thing we want to give you guys some good tips on life to expect here when time for you guys to retire here. Right now lots of houses for sale, You just have to choose if you like in a gated subdivision or just somewhere a bit country? Just curious what part of the country are you from? Right now I reside in Davao. I gave you some sample base of what I saw here in Davao. I also understand of what you mean of not spending too much. Thanks for dropping by!

Just think about this... How would you like someone to come to your home and disrespect your own household? Im sure it would not be acceptable, either. Hi Feyma- this is my first entry. I'm so excited to come across your blog. I was going through the real estate websites looking for an affordable house to lease with option to buy after, maybe, a year. You have no idea how much I needed these information on your blog. My husband and I are reaching the age of retirement and we're hoping to find a decent and serene place without spending an arm and a leg. Maraming salamat!!

Agricultural Quarantines exist for a darn good reason. Amateur smugglers like you can do untold billions of damages to the local agriculture. Agriculture is my livelihood. If I know that you did it, I will swear out a complaint for your arrest. I'm not joking. <>

You'll never know you might be going to the immigration office. :wink: We do have sweet corn here in the Davao. It's not the same as in the States but its close enough. We have some farmers that grow that kind of stuff here. Good luck to you on planting the corn seeds. I hope it works out good. Ha ha ha I'm not going to disagree with you on that. I guess that guy just didn't care anything about the women here he was just mad. Hi John – I’m glad that you are bringing extra pants with you.

I am coming to the philippines at the end of the week I will remember to throw in some long pants with the 5 lbs of corn seed that I'm bringing over for my tatay!!It is some real sweet stuff. The corn that tatay had grown on the mountain and shared with me tasted more like cattle corn here in the USA. Thanks again Feyma. PS- The guy ought to be glad he's around all you pretty Filipina's rather than getting mad about some darned dress codes! Thanks for this post Feyma!
