Join Chrissy and Rob from Fly Me to The Philippines for a 5 episode story of the Philippines. Meet Glenn and Ruby, a couple with a 24 year age gap. Glenn first traveled to the Philippines at the age of 7 to join his father who worked as a Dentist for the U.S. Air Force at Clark Air Force Bas in Angeles City, Luzon Philippines. He lived like a typical Filipino boy for 3 years before returning to the United States for schooling and College at BYU.
A love of the water led him to create a company for high end competitive white water rafting and he brought his technology and award winning boats to the Philippines and developed the Cagayan de Oro White Water rafting industry and reputation for being the leader in white water rafting excursions in the Philippines and on Mindanao.
Traveling to China, Fiji, Australia and other exotic Asian destinations for business Glenn found his way to the Philippines in 2002 and started dating Filipinas. It didn't go so well at first, as he met some dishonest and untrustworthy Filipinas. The Filipino people however were as happy and pleasant as he remembered in his your. On his third attempt to find a Filipina Glenn met Ruby and a 24 year age gap love story ensued.
In this series we will learn about Glenn and Ruby's experiences in the Philippines, in Manila, Cebu City, Siarago, Palawan, Caron, Cagayan de Oro and living on the boat, a Luguna 44. Buying and selling Real Estate, new homes and lots, building homes both with natural materials and in gated subdivisions. Learn their lessons on Real Estate Investing, living in the Philippines, living on a Boat, surviving a Typhoon, and homesteading at 3200 feet of elevation a natural sustainable life. In addition learn about their experience raising children, private school, Filipino Family and recently with the health care system as Glenn share a recent health experience. With 22 years living in the Philippines married to Ruby, Glen and Ruby have more experience than most Expats and they share their lesson learned in sailing, housing, education, healthcare, developing land, and especially love, in an age gap relationship of 24 years, loving each other for the last 18 years - 8 of which they spent 6 months a year in the United States,.
In Episode 5 Glenn and Ruby buy a mountain top and are nearing construction of a dream home, gardens, and a sustainable farm. Let Glenn and Ruby show you how to be rich in the Philippines.
This gentleman has created Heaven on Earth. I truly hope he lives many more years to enjoy this paradise. I love what this couple is doing.
What an incredible interview! Glen is truly inspiring. Managing his healthcare needs while completing his dream home must be quite the balancing act, but he seems to have it figured out. He’s definitely a man full of tenacity!
Thanks for the positive feedback and yes, I agree. Totally Glen is awesome.
That's truly impressive. You've inspired me even more for my move to the Philippines.
Glad you brought Glen back to further discuss his new life and his prior difficulties.
Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you hear to watch it
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines So Chrissy, Rob is making you answer comments now?
:)
What a super star here. Servant of the Lord!
👍
Very impressive construction details and extrodinary planning for Glens project!
We agree!
There is a saying in the Philippines Rob. If you want to make a small fortune you start off with a large one. Undoubtedly there are many successful expat businessmen in the Philippines but there are also many more who have been financially ruined.The main reason for their ruination is the opposite sex. Glens advantage is his indepth knowledge of Filipino culture and wise choices in relationships.
Thank you, I am grateful
@@glennlewman4186 Hi Glen, Great to hear of you Philippine experiance to date. Like you we also chose to set up home in the Bukid. We purchased a lot in the town of Talakag on the main hyway opposite the Central School close to the Plaza back in the early 80's. At that time we both worked in Nigeria with no real plans then to retire in the Philippines. In 2005 we did decide to retire a bit earlier than the UK retiral age and we built a 3 bed bungalow. My wife of now 40 years had the foresight to build a house on one level as she said as we get older we are not always able to climb stairs and carry out maintenance tasks. I'm so glad I took her advice. We moved to Talakag in 2008 bought a new Izusu Crosswind from CebuSouthern Motors in CdeO to be independant and to shop in CdeO 33Kms from our front door 30mins to Uptown SM. In 2013 my wife insisted I had a check up when back in the UK which we returned to each year as we kept an Apartment there (bolthole). I was diagnosed with Angina and had an emergancy Angioplasty proceedure carried out. I was either that or a heart bypass. Fortunstely the stents have so far done the job. My wife always had reservations however and discussed going back to the UK to live ss medical facilites are better and free due to my membership of the UK NHS which I had subscribed to all my working life. So in 2019 April after selling our property, vehicle and everything else we owned apart from the clothes we wanted and some sentimental items we left for the UK. By the way the proceeds of the sale of our assets arrived back in the UK before we did. We were fortunate to leave when we did to avoid Covid and all its problems. Our son and family live in the UK and our daughter who moved to Sidney ater she graduated has since moved to LA with her family. When in the Philippines we travelled extensively around the Philippines and drove all over Mindanao, Bohol and Camiguin. We loved the Philippines but in fairness as grand children arrived we have 4 now 2 in the UK and 2 in the US my wife wanted to spend time with them hence also the reason for returning to the UK. We have returned to Talakag twice since leaving last year September and this year July. Having just over 40 years association with the Philippines like you I garnered a lot of experiance and friendships and seen a lot of people pass on. I always say life is what you make of it and one mans meat is another mans poison. But the most important thing I have learned in life "No condition is permanent", incidentally both times we have recently visited Talakag we have driven past Libona having taken the Indahag road to our friends farm in Manolo Fortich. I still noticed a section of your road has not been finished hahaha!!! Take good care both. Regards Jim & Marilou Cunningham.
Glenn and Ruby's story is truly inspiring, especially for those pursuing dreams later in life, embracing the opportunities granted by God. It also highlights the importance of finding a genuine, committed woman who stands by you until the end of the journey, uncorrupted by the modern world. Many of us touched by their story live as shepherds, not mere consumers, and it is uplifting to know there is a place where wisdom and life experience are valued by women like Ruby, with the 'breadwinner' character Glenn so lovingly described. Thanks for sharing their story and yours as well, it's truly appreciated.
Glen is the man! Channeling his inner Walt Disney-- you had me at aviaries and orchids. Thanks for expanding my view of what the Philippines might mean to me.
Sure thing Bobby
That's a beautiful story, I'm ready to pack my bags.
Is he accepting boarders?
I’m first in line
Rob, this is a wonderful series of interviews with Glen and Ruby. I expect to see you and Chrissy as their neighbors before long. I saw that smile of hers on the property tour.
Look forward to my pending scouting visit. Thank you
I would love it thanks for the feedback
Wow...same here I'm looking a good man having a right mind set ..To share my life ...to the fullest...
Wow this is how life should be celebrated♥️✨💖
Very interesting interview I hope you do a follow up when they get the house complete so we can see how far along he has come
Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion
this couple is very smart. im happy for them.
Yes
Hello👋🏻 Watching from Mindanao . Another beautiful story of Glenn and Ruby . Such an amazing series of interviews . What a lovely couple😊
One of the most informative channels for visitors and expats to the Philippines. Well structured, authentic and personable.
❤️👍🙏
Rob, I was just there in CDO and will be back in January for dental work and to see my Filipina. Met her last trip and things went super great. Cannot wait to finally retire in about 1 year so I can move there at least 6 months out of the year and slow travel the far East. Enjoyed the video! Good Stuff!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for the positive feedback. Best of luck to you.
Nice location, nice view and nice retirement plan ....
It sure is
Wow Glenn and Ruby have an Amazing set up!
It really is
Great info Guys, thank you 👍
We truly appreciate family men with a goals.
Great Series. I really enjoy what you publish. You've got a good niche. Thanx!
I appreciate that!
This is an awesome interview. I agree with that lady that if you want to find a quality good tier women they are not in the internet or dating apps they are busy having good kind of jobs but if you want to meet them they are in the diffent communities. Glen has a very beautiful, self sustainable farm house.
Very enjoyable episode/video. That's going to be quite a place when its all done.
Thanks for the feedback
Great video for me to run across. I live near Dumaguete up in the mountains (at 2400 feet in elevation) between Dauin and Zamboanguita. These two are telling almost my exact story except for location.
One difference is that I do have bars on the windows of our house for two reasons. One we sleep with our screened windows open at night and two because when you leave especially for several days or weeks someone might be tempted to steal your junk. In an area like this people do not have stoves, refrigerators, indoor plumbing or even water. safety is NOT an issue even at the end of the road 11 kilometers from the highway. Its very quiet and sometimes I get a little bored up here, 5 miles away from the closest foreigner. I just go into town for a coffee and pretty soon most of the foreigners remind me why i love the quiet of the mountain.
Once your house and property is paid for you will struggle to spend $1000.00 per month for a wonderful life eating anything you desire. I also don't drink or chase the little girls (the two activities that drive your monthly spending way up). If you rent a nice western style house like ours it will add $600 - $700 a month easily to your budget.
Crazy how close to our set up this couple has.😲
Thanks for sharing Earl
great video!
this is similar to what Marydel and I looked at in Malaybalay. 1 Hectare about 2500' and and amazing view. Although it's in a hill. We are taking to the owners for the last couple weeks. I'll send you a video of the view
that sounds fabulous. I would love to find something similar in Pampanga, Bataan or Benguet provinces.
Now I know what the video you sent me is up thank you
Get that gardening girl several cases of mason jars and a book on how to put up fruits vegetables and even meat.. you would never run out of fresh vegetables and always have them at your fingertips of any kind that you wanted when you wanted them for your meals..😊
❤️👍
Sell at market if want to. Gift items. Good thing to do.
@@kevinternes3188 never thought about that.. excellent idea 💡👍
I’m with you on canning vegetables, however, I don’t know if it would be necessary as there may be a good growing season most of the year, or perhaps all year long being in the tropics.
@@robertclaus1102 good point Bob
Rob, great series and enjoyed. Hope very much that Glenn beats the odds and he is around for a long time to enjoy the place he is building.
Thanks for the positive feedback and I agree with the sentiment totally
Fantastic series. Wow, what a wonderful guy and wonderful couple
Glad you liked it Ovie 😃
Hi from Oregon. Im about the same age, and had Afib heart problem. I think it happened from the heat in Leyte. I think I had heat stroke. Out of rhythm until I went to the er in Oregon. Hard to see a cardiologist for 3 months. Had heart failure at 30 percent. After 6 months of meds now back to normal. Don't have to see the cardiologist again. Use the Kardia mobile to check ekg. Nice property. Good way to go, don't have to depend on government, etc
Excellent mini-series and really nice couple. Great that the two of you got out of CDO and went walkabout 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
Glen you need to put the land into a company llc then put a lien against it from another llc offshore . Asap
God was with him!
Hello watching here from Iloilo City my Paradise ...I am leaving here in Àrevalo, Iloilo City alongside the beach. THEY call it Villa Beach before...For me I was raised in a farm and being as a a farmland girl ...I used to live in having enjoying making a vegetable garden..an flower garden...Yes you have to emerge life in the local people... You will really appreciate a life ...its a Paradise here living in the Iloillo City.
that’s place is going yo be an awesome place.
Great vlog thank you for all information.
Our pleasure!
that look real nice. do they have a plan or a break down of what they did and how they did it?
He is talking about Ejection fraction. Key is getting it back to the 50% range. Until then your essentially still in heart failure... Been there myself 3 years back, had angiogram, no stents required, meds for life.(blood thinners, etc) ..
Thanks for sharing that
Wow, that place is going to be humongous when it is done! Happy for them. ❤️ thnx for great video
So nice of you
A lot of things I'd be looking for if i live in the PH. Its good to know you can find it there.
Thanks for watching Ray
"so much better than living in a City" I agree Chrissy. I love what Glenn and Ruby are creating. The idea of a sustainable house and garden matches my dream. Using worm poop to create fabulous soil. Their house is way bigger than I would like, and I would prefer a bungalow style, but the big ideas are all the same. So, the question is, was Glenn serious about being adopted into the tribe to be able to access forest land? I would love to know more about that process, understanding that you don't own the land outright, at least for a period of time.
Hi Paul, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Yes, both Glenn and Ruby were adopted into the tribe. I have another friend who also purchased land many years ago and by good fortune they built a road right along his land. He was also adopted into the indigenous tribe for that different try, possibly in future video we could talk more about it
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines thanks! I made my formal request to the company this past week to either just go remote, or to go remote and set up the company's first office in Asia. I expect it will take a while before I get an answer. Fingers crossed!
That was very interesting
Wow 😊, very interesting interview and hats off to Glen . He is definitely a creative and optimistic adventurer . I deliberately didnt call him a dreamer even though he has a creative vision that has been driving him to build his paradise on the hill.
I admire his positive vibes but I am a bit worried about how he will cope with the steps and the incline as he gets older, because he stated that in his current state of health ,he isnt able to do much . I am wondering if a property on a flatter ground and a house without steps wouldn't be more suitable for him in the future?
Ruby is a very lucky woman and I couldn't help but thinking that Glen must have a LOT of trust in her because technically foreigners cant legally own land in the Philippines and i have heard of so many horrow stories about foreigners building houses and then getting kicked out of them. But I suppose Ruby is a honest woman of integrity with a good conscience and high moral standards.
What Glen is building is something that I wish i could do too, but on a smaller scale. I dont have half a million bucks to play with or 3K to live on monthly,but this has definitely given me a vision and an insight of what I could have in the future.
I need to do some research, because I also would love to have a place in the Philippines with about 3 acres of land with a river running through the land and a nice house too( but not as big as Glen's)
I retire in 5 years time from the UK and have never been to the Philippines,but I have spoken to a LOT of the wrong type of Filipinas on Cupid Filipina dating app. Unfortunately, I got scammed a few times,but now I have a much better idea of how many of the scams work and the mentality of the wrong type of Filipinas . I am going to start looking at fares and going to take the plunge. I am going to take a trip, rent a car and drive around and see what I find , learn and discover.
I am not sure if there are trains or metros that can take me from Manila Airport to other Cities or towns..so if anyone reading this can tell me how to get around from the Airport, I would appreciate it. I saw in a video where the traffic is crazy like New York and that the taxi drivers can really try to rip you off.
Seen a few videos of people taking boats to get to places , but I like trains and driving cars ( not fond of mopeds ) as ways of getting around.
I am happy for a chat if anyone wants to chat . My WhatsApp is+447947657542 and I am on Facebook as Mark Con Smith, you can send me a message in messenger in there. Please dont send me a friend request without a message because I get a lot of friend request all the time,but I wont accept a friend request from someone that I haven't met in person unless they send me a message,so I knoe who they really are and why they are friend requesting me. Dont let that put you off though, i am a really friendly and chatty guy with a good sense of humour ans and I love meeting people, so I hope to hopefully hear from someone soon and if anyone knows of a honest,cute, intelligent Filipina without children,but wants kids in the future and loves farming and healthy living , I would love to hear about them.
Thanks in advance 😊🙏🏾😊
ANOTHER GOOD VIDEO
Thanks for the feedback
what a fantastically lovely place and what a magnificent house it will be when it is finished. wish I could live there in my last days ❤thanks for this video, one of the first I've seen from your posts. Light and love from here in the now wet cold Denmark 🇩🇰🌹❄️🙏
Imprressive solar system for an equally impressive house..........like how he has the system fully commission b4 house is complete.........as it helps with building process..........he is a thinker for sure.
He really is
Good video!! Did he happen to mention which hospital in CDO he went to? Maybe Capital University or Maybe Polymedic. Looking for a cardiologist.
A Modern ,organic, environmental friendly farm. Every retirees dreams. Hope there is no typhone
Not too much of a concern for this location
I just had a MRI in Missouri. The bill was $6000.
😩
Great interview guys. I love his vision for the place. What type of hollow blocks did they use here ?
Not sure perhaps Glenn will chime in
You can pay extra to the hollow block maker to add more cement otherwise they’re pretty crumbly don’t skimp on the rebar either they like to use number nine which is like a pencil get half inch and three-quarter inch
We used a brick made to fit together like Legos
The brickwork is different than other PH houses, smaller denser bricks it looked like.
Take Hawthorn berries extract. And take 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper daily. That’s what I do for my heart.
❤️👍🙏
Hawthorne works to correct high and low BP also.
Barbara O'Neill recommends cayenne over warfin. I think the dosage is 2 tsp 3x daily.
often the healthy can have a major health issue and not be aware or accepting the clues. Fortunately, he has a good situation. I get a quarterly blood test and EKG to monitor my life lines. It cost less than 100 bucks for the check up. The home looks fabulous, obviously he is his own contractor and he has US construction and agriculture experience.
Thanks for watching and commenting Albert
Wow, looks like he will have a beautiful place to retire too!
I think so too!
I'm 36 and just married a Filipino. I'm planning on retiring in the phillipines but my worry is by then the price of land will be much higher. Have you seen land prices sky rocket over the past ten years in the phillipines? Where would you recommend near the CDO area?
amazing story
Many many thanks
For those of us that don't know, what are you referring to when you say land use rights? Is that private land you are leasing? Is it government owned land? What are the requirements to keep the land?
You buy the use rights from indigenous peoples- individuals- you need to improve the land, farm, and occupy as in guest house etc
In most areas of Luzon the prices mentioned are ridiculous low. 30USD/sqm of farmland in Lipa are considered ok. In developed areas close to Manila we are talking about a lot more
@@telcslightingdesign2215 agreed. So many parts in Central Luzon they are asking 30,000Php /sm. That adds up quick and is not so different than California prices for the land.
$2000 a month to live comfortably... I wish.. I live quite decently on $1320 a month. Sure I could live better on $2000 but what you're putting out is subjective. We don't all need Rib Eyes and 6 hectares of land.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Everyman has his own dream
Hi guys
👋👋
Please tell me what island and what province he is building his beautiful mountain Paradise? Thanks 👍
Mindanao, Bukidnon province
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines thanks again, my friend👍👍 I am an old man with old ears👍👍
We are located in the province of Bukidnon on the island Mindanao
nice on the solar
When i billed our place in Siargao i will have to invite you both over
I have the same plan but in Siquijor.
Already have title.
Hired a lawyer for all due diligence. Everything went smooth.
But I’m still in LOs Angeles.
Where are you?
@@jg1503 awesome! Siquijor is nice! Going through the title process. Washington State
@@dare2bda137 make sure you do your due diligence. You never know if they have relatives that can claim the title later. Cover all your bases.
What annoys me is the notary. What a scam that is.
Notary here is like $30 or something like that. It’s just a stamp.
There they charge what 5 percent of the contract/ sale price. What a rip off.
Awesome we want to go there in July
from the transcipt: 3:06 ,,,highlands whether it's Malay Bai or t you probably could...
so... where is this place?
Halfway between Cdo and Davao
Malaybalay. Use Google maps.
Hi what a great lifestyle can you grow most vegtables in the Philippines why dont people grow there own
Way over the top....hows water pressure internet.....drainage,septic system?
With water tanks higher than the house water pressure wont be a problem. With solar you can easily power pumps to refill the tank. With Starlink, you can have superfast internet access.
Everything is fine, everything is good, perfect! But, from the age of 60, there is one crucial question for the next 30 years: how quickly can I get to the nearest suitable hospital in the event of a stroke or even a heart attack? Plus snakebite or similar accidents. Without that, the most beautiful property is a dead-end prison.
Yes, healthcare is a very important consideration
We are 30 minutes from a major hospital
👋👋👋
A man filled his barn with everything he needed and he said to himself now I'll rest and be happy. God said to him you fool tommorw your soul will be required of you... You can have all the material things in the world but if you don't have Jesus as the head of everything then you really have nothing. +🤔
I agree and glad to say my husband have a strong faith in our Father in Heaven.
Lucky me, I’m wise, I have no barn or anything to but in it.
On average, insurance is a losing bet. Usially it's more about emotional reassurance than getting financial value. If it were a net benefit to the customers, the insurance companies would go out of business.
Exactly where are you? I wish TH-cam people with tell us where you are in the beginning so we would not have to keep guessing.. thanks 👍
We mention specifically throughout- Mindanao- 40 min outside Cagayan De Oro - adjacent to Libona…San Vincente Barangay. - all mentioned-
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines thank you very much👍

But he still does not own it outright
Yet. I believe there is a process after a number of years for his wife to own it outright. Not a 100% deal though. Depends on who is in charge.
None of this information is real. Everything is dependant on so many variables around land and title and citiizenry.
But you cant own. Theres the major red flag
Can't take it with you when you die.
You can own two ways:
Marry a Filipina
Corporation
As I understand that every five years, the provincial government moves the boundaries and some of these types of land can be titled and owned so there’s some expectation that in the next 10 to 20 years they’ll be able to get title for this land
I think his survival would be questionable had his heart attack occurred in the Philippines.
It’s hard to say I was very interested in his description of the medical care he’s received here in the Philippines that’s the type of information. It’s hard to get on these Vlogs.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I don't think he'd have gotten a stent within an hour in the Philippines.
Tell people what saving face mean , marry me you marry the family. , No money no honey. , or extra lover on the side .Be honest .700.00 or 1.000.00 does go that far . You poor her family has atm now .
Nah, my family is having there own life.
it was strange watching him say: this is her room, this is XYZ for her, on and on, meanwhile, he never mentioned anything about him? typical man behaviour!!
He does everything for his wife.
Umm he’s freaking 70. What does he need ? Also that house is huge…
He bought it for her…. When he passes….
My lord some people only think about themselves. Can you imagine how well sexual and physical and emotional she’s taken care of him…..
👍
@@ssing7113I receive more than I give
No offense intended, but those of us who are blessed to be well to do tend to SNOWBIRD here. I have multiple properties in Florida that I would not willingly give up. I own a high end condo in Cebu City and have no intention of marrying a Filipina just to live in a house that as a foreigner, I cannot own. I do not like the Philippines enough to live here permanently.
We have freedom to choose
@@colorfullife8191 thank you, captain obvious. I choose to live a better life than what is described.
Only %1 of Philippina girls will accept a big age gap. Practically impossible to find a younger girl other than online. Even online, you have to go thru %99 scammers to find the diamond in the rough.
Where did you get that data. Most women over here prefer mature men including those from well-to-do families.
1% is still lots of options
@@glennlewman4186 unlike what most bloggers present, age gap is more acceptable in the west than the Phil. But u have to be multi millionaire to know that. Mostly are barely middle class in the west. Can’t blame them for their ignorance.
@AngelOnEarth0614 next time you see an old foreigner walking the sidewalk, pay attention. A few steps back you will see a pretty girl keeping her distance cuz she is embarrassed to be seen with him.
My Flipina daughters in the 🇺🇸 would never marry an old man however their mom did because she was living in Lapu Lapu!
Rob your next ( don’t laugh ) just take some money out of your wallet.
❤️🙏👍
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines well his build is amazing but and a big but he’s to old and not healthy to start a big project like this and in the middle of nowhere. There’s no resale value in that area. Don’t let the low price of land fool you. As you know Rob and it’s even true in the Philippines I’ve owned quite a few pieces of property here it’s location location location nothing else matters. For the time being just rent you have a beautiful place but after you get married think about buying your own place so you’ll have something to leave your wife.
@@billyjohnson9166Yeah I agree 😊
@@billyjohnson9166all true. Would perhaps have been better for him to have started earlier in life. But clearly he’s living his best life doing this now. It’s not like any of us can give him better advice on how to spend his time. However, I do think it does need to be said / asked, for those who might follow in his footsteps, what amount of the original investment is recoverable, should he or she want to sell / back out after completion? Seems this would be a very illiquid investment. That said it’s a very inspiring project. Great video.
Will Ruby be able to manage and afford to stay when Glen passes on?
If you are looking for beyond life frustrations with the infrastructure in this third world country, try and build in the Philippines. You people are crazy.
It does have challenges but also benefits. You do need to have some construction experience and patience
You mean your wife owns it u dont
She will get it when he passes on anyway so why is this perceived as a problem by so many people? If you are married right now and die, who is going to get your stuff?
@@snbi7959 she will get it all when they break up too
Umm I wouldn’t be so quick. Also I’m sure with him sounding like he’s a multi millionaire. He has numerous contracts and contingencies and prenup that were signed by her which is valid in PH. So…
People don’t realize what an amazing Lawyer for $10k will put in to protect your best interests as well
If she signed upon divorce or kicking him out. That she signs she would do a quick sale and take 10% of proceeds. Then that’s what she has to do by law….
A lot of you are so short minded instead of talking to lawyers first…
@@ssing7113 u can write up as much as u want with lawyers in the Philippines. It won't mean anything in a Philippine court, they will always go with the Filipino . Your wasting your money if your getting told this rubbish. And by the way the woman already owns 51% of it not 10%
You can lease the property or your Filipina wife can own it. You can own the house.
as foreigner or a naturalized US (or any country) citizen, be careful about the limit of acreage you can own (deed) to your name. otherwise, the foreigner has to put the title to your local/filipina spouse. also, consider if the acreage is for 'residential or commercial use' because, the limit is also varies....
Huh, it will be interesting to see the final product. And if it can be replicated easily would be my question. Keep the plans for the place, you may be on to something. What's the projected cost for everything but furniture, appliances included though?
Perhaps Glenn can share that eventually. He was very forthcoming already
