Looking a wife in the Philippines

What an email!

He asked a lot of questions, that is for sure, but all very good ones at that.

 I will not use his real name so we will call him David. David did not do his taxes for the 4 years he was living in the Philippines and did not file for 5 to 6 years before going to the Philippines.

 I am shocked at the passport people. David did not file his taxes for at least 5 years prior to getting a passport. Passports are only good for 10 years so David would have had to get a new Continue reading →

Why do so many men go to the Philippines to look a life time partner?  I will tell a little about my story.  Why did I go to the Philippines to look a life time partner?  I got a divorced in 2000 from a lady I was married to for 13 year.  I was not taking this will because I add lost just about ever thing I worked for in my life.  I went until 2005 just not liking women much at all.
