Yes you can...You can either stay as a tourist and leave every 16 months to Hong Kong or other country for a day or 2, this involves renewing your visa every 59 days. You can get balikbayan visa good for one year which would involve going to Hong Kong or other country outside Philippines for a day or 2 (with your wife) and then returning together. You can also have your wife file a 13a spousal Visa for you which would make you a permanent resident. and you would only need to renew every 5 years... If you are thinking about working here, you can only do that with the 13a visa, if you can find a job (doubtful) If you have an income of less than 1,000 U.S. Dollars per month, as a foreigner think real hard before deciding to do the 13a visa...life is not so easy as many would have you believe I have lived here 7 years and I survive better than in the U.S. but I do not party hearty or travel (I survive)
2 :
Yes as long as you have a decent steady income from the states. Jobs here are scarce and low paying. There are very few jobs for foreigners. So if you still need to work, the Philippines is not a place to move to.
3 :
You can live in the Philippines whether you are married or not. The main thing as others have pointed out is to have your ducks in a row financially. Working here is generally not an option.
4 :
Yep provided you meet all the requirements so that there will be no problem.
5 :
yes. btw, it is 'filipina' when talking about women from the philippines; 'filipino' when talking about men. enjoy the romance.
6 :
Yes! I am doing it along with over 100,000 fellow Americans. Click on "bureau of immigration.gov.ph" for details. You might also want to check out "living in cebu forum.com" for other people that are doing it.
7 :
Yes you can do so, Foreigners who start a company or hires at least 5?? filipinos gets a PR status easily, but of course since you're married, to be able to get a PR, you will need to go to the Philippines Embassy in your own country as you may need documents, to submit a PR application, the most important declaration you will need is from the Police stating that your status with the law. As for me, i'm just travelling in and out, or extending / paying overstay fees at the airport, lol. I have been doing that for like 15 years now. Invest a bit in the Philippines early as prices will be skyrocketing when the bubble in the US dollar falls flat and i mean flat. Great place to live when the riots start. Good Luck.
8 :
Yes you can live with her here in the Philippines when you marry her.

I really don't know if you guys carry Iams, Nutro Natural, Wysong - what's a 45 php? Any American dog foods there?? I am sure there are plenty of natural dog food internationally. If his crap is that big -what are you going to do the shrink it down?
2 :
Suggest you just buy "sawdust" from any butcher/grocery - its fresh and cheap....you however have to cook it, and throw in some veggies. It however lacks some nutrients so you might have to give him vitamins as well. Since its real meat, your dog shouldn't have any withdrawal symptoms....just alternate your regular dog food with it every now and then. As for the big crap...well, it comes with the territory of having a growing or big dog.

I just changed my dogs diet, they went from royal cannin to a organic/natural diet. I have a rotweiller and a bichon. The breeder where i got my rotweiller from gave me this recipe. It's mcuh cheaper, it just takes a couple of hours to make but it lasts for a long time. Here is a list of what i feed and why. I make up about 40kg at a time. I go down to the local fruit and vegetable shop and they give me all of their bruised and really ripe fruit and vege that they can no longer sell. It is dirt cheap (i pay about $15 for 20kg). I then juice it all ( i use a comercial juicer), mix it with meat and freeze it. No cooking involved as it takes away all the nutrients. I don't peel anything, i put all of the leaves, roots, skin etc in. Pretty much i use the whole of the vege. The only things i don't put in the mix is obviously onions and anything too strarchy(potatoes etc). This receipe makes 40kg. 1.5kg of yoghurt - calcium, protein, B & A vitamins, carbohydrates, protein and fat.The bacteria in yoghurt normalises the bowel. If dogs get diarrhoea, yoghurt usually fixes it up. 30 free range eggs - protein and essential fatty acids, crush the shell and put it in ( if u want otherwise just put in the inside of the egg) for a good source of calcium. 4 raw livers - Vitamin A, Iron ... heaps of most other vitamins 20 cloves garlic - boosts immunity, keeps infecitons at bay, my dogs never have fleas (or any that i see anyway) 8 desert spoons of kelp powder - contains sodium, potassium and calcium, as well as iodine (this helps the thyroid to function and therefore keeps the metabolism going) 8 desert spoons brewers yeast - high in protein and carbohydrates, high in B vitamins, iron, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium, selenium (important as it slows down the aging process ie cancers etc and is important in treating arthritis) 4 desert spoons ascorbic acid - Vitamin C promotes immume system I then mix in the meat and put it in plastic containers and dump it in the freezer. When i feed it i add a drop of Vitamin E (antioxidant), and a teaspoon of cod liver oil (vitamin D, essential for strong bones) and flax seed oil as evidentally they loose viability if frozen. These are approximate, i never make it a hard and fast rule to add anything, if i am out of one of the supplements, i just leave it out and add it next time. I feed my dogs almost anything once a week, I save up all of our table scraps and 1 day a week they have this for a meal. This diet is great because you never have any food waste in your house. If it is not good for us to eat anymore, it goes in the dog container. I also feed them sardines, mackeral or any other fish. I just get tins from the supermarket. And of course heaps of raw meaty bones. I hate big marrow bones lying around, so I get brisket bones because they usually sit down and eat it all. I generally feed them chicken carcasses. The best thing is it is really cheap (40kg last me about 3 weeks with 3 dogs). I will get you about 20kg of meat and the same of veg. One day u can give ur dog the food u prepared and at the next day u can give him a chicken carcase ( big one) Just watch his weight, if he drops some weight give him more carcarsses and add more of the food u prepared to his bowl. Chicken carcasses and bones are good for them as they clean their teeth. Remember never to give dogs coocked bones as they r dangerous, just raw bones. Another thing i forgot to mention is that the meat is horse meat but u can use other type... it all depends on what u can get. And with the crap problem, this food will reduce the amount of it :) Well i hope this helped Good luck!

I Suggest That You Should Take A Job If You Want To Live Here For Quite Awhile.Through Its Much Cheaper Here That In The States I Would Recommend You To Have A Job. The Cheapest Places Here Are The Provinces,Enjoy The Fresh Barely Polluted Air,The Breath-Taking Sceneries,The Beach's Cool Waves.But If You Want To See Our Urban Areas You Can Try Our Capital,Manila Its Also Cheap There.You Can Settle There For Awhile Then You Can Go To Our Much Urbanized Cities Like Our Buisiness Distict,Makati City And One Of The Largest Cities,Quezon City.You Can Also Look Through Quezon City Rooms That Are Cheap. I Believe There Are Reantals That Cost About 100-150 Dollers A Month.If Your Just By Yourself, I Think You Will Need An Est. Amount Of 100-150 Dollers.Transportation Prices Are very Low We Offer Cabs That Start Their Meter To .75 cents(If The Conversion Is Right- Php 30),If You Are Going Somewhere Near You Can Ride A Tricycle That Usually Costs Just .60 Cents.(These Are Just Available In Some Areas They Only Travel Small Distances).You May Also Ride Our Trains That Takes You To Places In Metro Manila About .50 Cents,(Metro Rail Transit And The Light Rail Transit).You May Also Ride Our Famous Jeepney That Cost May 2-5 Pennies I Think.May A Car Rental Will I Think Cost About 20 Dollers Really Expensive Just Try Our Transportation Its Safe Anyways. But If You Still Want The Provinces Slash 10-15% In Housing And Food Prices

it depends on hw much you got,chose davao city its the no.20th most livable place asia..and the no. one in the philippines and for the cost there a lot of place to chose where you want to stay,the 10th asian city in the future...if you want to leave like the locals you can rent an apartment for as low as 5K per month,in the heart of the city,the food it wont cost you that much you can have it fresh from the source,and the night life,is evrywhere,well sounds like you just want to have a staying place without working, i would recommend davao is best for you...peaceful and clean..nice people and it wont cost you that much..i dont say its cheap cost but i bet the price are just fine.. for you..

Try BF Homes in Paranaque City in Manila ;) I live there and did u know it's the biggest subdivision in Asia? There's a foreigner living alone in our village. There are lots of decent homes and lots there.
6 :
One of those islands in Batanes. You don't have to own a car. Just walk. No roads there pal.
7 :
Go and live with the Aetas around Central Luzon. And you'll find out you dont need money to live...
8 :
Tiny cities or towns. I know 3 foreigners all american & army veterans living comfortably on their pensions compared to the typical filipinos. Iloilo/ Dumaguete / Northern Mindanao. Food prices varies from city's/places your living. Metro cities like Manila or Cebu even Davao the food are quite expensive even their tiny stalls. My meals will go like P100-150 (that's a decent meal on tight budget/ not your jollibee/mc do meals).From where I am now I can have meal for about P50.00 below & I can buy a lot more w/ my P100.00 Housing/Cars? You need atleast a pension or other source of income to at least apply for a housing or car loans.
