Philippines: visiting phils for 1st time:

You need to trust her to watch out for you. Especially in Manila. She should do an outstanding job because it is her country and she is very familiar with the ropes. Trust her to be the eyes and ears to make you stay safe.

Philippines: Tax business in Philippines:

I would think setting up a home business to help US Citizens living in the Philippines prepare their taxes is a great job. It would be seasonal and not full time, but a good source of earning some extra cash. Maybe $15,000 a year or so.

Philippines: USA VISA CO-SPONSOR:

Something is not right. An income of $6,000 a month should qualify. The tress hold is around $1,500 a month minimum.

Philippines: Waffle Box construction:

I looked at this construction and it is based on unit sizes. The molds can be used over again, but to make a custom mold will add cost. A custom house probably can not be constructed with several sizes only. There is no insulation. Utilities are not in the wall. The foundation below the house is questionable.

Philippines: SRRV:

Your equity in your house should qualify you.

Philippines: Why are the Philippines so poor?:

The problem is once you get pass 6 or so items to change it become mind boggling. Therefore it comes to a stall and nothing gets accomplish.

Philippines: Held Hostage:

Good advice. If you have a lot of money, don't worry, but it you worked hard and have limited funds - then be tight with what you earned. Remember that you are not a bank - loaning out money and you are not a trust helping the poor.

Philippines: Foreign spouse as a beneficiary for estate planning:

My wife is the beneficiary of my estate and she is not a U.S. citizen. Yet. She doesn't even have a SS#, but a ITIN#.

Philippines: U.S.A.:

It was decided in the past that a death sentence is far better off than requiring someone to give up their United States Citizenship. This was an decision handed down to two spies. Just something to chew over.

Philippines: Driving in the Philippines:

No, not really. If you had an international license you could - but wait, you do not have an international license! What you have is a document that translate your current license into English or any language you choose. It not a license. It's a translation of your current valid license. You can get this, basically free from AARP in the U.S. There might be a $5 or $10 charge. Some insurance will do it free. But it is only good as your current license and good if you use your current license in a country that is not English speaking. It would have some value if your current license was from, say Germany and you translated into English. But if your current license is in English you are thinking by making a document to translate your license into English makes a difference? It doesn't.
