You need to take care of yourself there. Your health is the most important thing..If you don't mind me saying you're looking a little run down.. It's easy to let yourself go.. Remember, cheap living is not always the best for your health.. especially out in the middle of nowhere.. I'm sure you dont have any good hospitals for really serious health problems. As we age, that becomes a top priority..

Boiling water may kill the bacteria that could make you sick right away, but it does not remove the heavy metals and arsenic and other bad things in the water that could take decades to accumulate and cause you serious problems later in life. Please consider bottled water for cooking. Take care buddy, wishing you all the best there in the province.

Thats about what we pay in electric and we have about the same but we do have a washing machine. we have a water dispenser we use with the jugs. The water is pumped in from a well in the school yard. The good thing its a private source and not part of the public water pumps. when the public source had problems they came to us as ours was unaffected. It depends on lifestyle and preparation before you move.

In Pavia, Iloilo the average cost of refilling our water bottles is P20. As for the electricity, electric fan, security camera's, electric fence, large refrigerator & electric induction cook top, microwave, all lights are LED, P1800. And of course I have to have foods that I like to eat. Rent is P0. Yearly property tax is about P10,500. Wifes or sister in-laws cooking is free. Gasoline for my 8 passenger Tuk-tuk is about P1800 p/m. Chicken & duck feed, P2880. Unreliable fibre internet with PLDT, P1880. Groceries are about the same as your spending. And of course I am converting Canadian money to peso's which seems to have not varied more than 2 cents up or down in the last 4 years from an average of P42.6 to our dollar. Your doing good Brian, keep it up. Just sayin

The Filipino loan. I've known about this for 30+ years. THEY like to say it's a loan but WE know there is never an expectation of paying back. Which is perfectly fine if you understand Filipino culture. Try explaining that to a white who has never been to the Philippines or been with Filipino family. A lot of guys on here don't get certain things, but if they gonna be with a Filipina YOU BETTER LEARN.😊

It seems rice are way cheaper there than here. Me and my wife we use around 8 kg of rice a month and this costs us around 1500 pesos depend on the brand we buy. The amount of people eatimg rice three times a day here I think one third of your budget will be just for buying rice here
