Philippines: Hello and...:
Hello. My name is Ted.
This is my first post at these forums. Thank you for providing this opportunity to learn from you.
I will be traveling back to The Philippines next month, this time to begin the process of finding a place to settle permanently.
I am in my late 60s, I am single, and have lived all of my life to this point in the southeast United States.
Two previous and quite brief visits to The Philippines have created more questions than answers and so I ask for some advice regarding where to live, among other things.
I am not that interested in living on the coast of any island.
I am wanting a medium size inland city (150,000 to 500,000 population) with meaningful infrastructure and good medical facilities. My budget will be about $1000.00 per month and I can qualify for the SRRV. There is only myself and I have no dominant medical needs- only medicinal maintenance to prevent a recurrence of blood clots. I believe I am ok with public transportation, so the expense of a car or even a scooter is not planned.
Mostly, I am placing safety and security as well as good medical care as the most important items.
I have visited (briefly) iloilo, Dumaguete, Baguio, and San Fernando (Pampanga) and have found something good about each. I have no interest in Cebu or anything on Mindinao nor anything near Manila or Boracay. I am not going to seek a girlfriend or possible future wife. Should that happen sometime in the future- great !!! but it's not anything even close to a priority at this time.
Any ideas regarding somewhere else on Leyte or The Visayas ?
-Also-
I'm thinking $1000.00 will be sufficient for a decent lifestyle.
Any opinions ?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Philippines: Applying for 13a visa, need police clearance:
Hello Baldeagle88.
First, congratulations on the engagement and pending wedding.
I believe the document they are wanting goes by the generic title of criminal record check. Typically, a CRC is run only for the state where you reside. Occasionally a local police department can provide a regional CRC. For a national criminal check, It's really not technically possible as several states do not participate in such. Maybe your local FBI office can perform something resembling a national check. Here is a link which may help.

Good luck.
