I have been in the Philippines with my wife and our daughter for almost a decade.
I am retired (semi).
My wife and daughter are both dual citizens of the United States and the Philippines.
We bought land on Panay and built a house there.
We plan to return to the U.S. in a few years for our daughter to attend college. My wife and I will be returning to the workforce at that time.
In the meantime we are "loving living" in the Philippines.
