Two compatible people, cloudy skies, not many tourists, an extremely affordable beach village, a broken google maps (which sometimes can be a blessing), wonderful Filipinos, and great food...well, I'd think you both are WINNING! Dan, thanks to you and Qiang both for describing Puerta Galera. Looks like a hidden gem. Edit: Listen to Qiang! Pizza is for the hands!

Im a curious Filipino retiree teaching US history before.30 years working in company what i got a 15k a month in peso about just a fourth of what you received.pension here comes from SSS or social security system.GSIS or government security... when working in national government. In the states am surprised just in the mid 50s transfer to Asia and received that big amount of pension? I may say it is a privilege to be a citizen of the fourth of July republic. Having a pension of 1500 to 2000 dollar here in the Philippines is really big.i can even support the college studies ofmy grandson 😂 hahaha.

Hello Dan, I have been to Puerto Galera. I enjoy your videos. I just don't understand why you don't include medical in your reports. For example, costs of a dental visit, doctor's visit, average prescription costs. Places like Puerto Galera may not even have certain facilities(ex. MRI,,) so travel to Luzon may be necessary. You always list "alcohol". Whoopee! I rarely drink. Retirement and medical go hand in hand, don't they?
