they live in las pinyas city,not been there yet,cash flow is drying up. Las Pinyas is a fair way from the centre of Manilla if my memory serves me right. I lived in a squatters area of Angles City about 10 years ago only stayed for a month because I wanted to experience what it was like. The big problem for me was the rats running over my bed during the night  , other than that it wasnt to bad. |

I know an American guy in Cambodia his pension is about $450. a month rents a small room next to a brothel, eats a lot of rice & noodles but he survives and always has some money for his drugs, I think he is over 70 now.
It can be done if one has to.

I certainly went through some money rather quickly in certain parts of the Philippines....
