You don't need to do anything in the Philippines as your marriage was done in Canada. Just file for a divorce in Canada. Just back read about the part of traditional marriage in Manila. Was it a church or civil wedding? Not that it mattered as ... Read More
What is your Electric Bill like ? by frankanderson
Just wondering, I am starting to suspect Condo's pay a lot more for electricity than a house. My missus inform me that its possible that condo tenants pay commercial prices, similar to stores and businesses. If that's right, that's ...
@freebie, P1,800 for just a ref seems excessive. Either you left at the middle of your billing cycle or perhaps you should average out the 2 month's bill when you were away. If your ref is consuming that much, you can adjust your ref's ... Read More

We bought the same LG dual-inverter series AC. It's really a great power-saving AC. At night, we sometimes put it on 60% power saving mode, especially during the colder months of the year. Read More

Capricornrising, don't mind them too much. I know it is annoying but don't let it get to you. I mean, if you are perfectly happy with the cool weather, way of life, surroundings, and overall people, just smile and walk away. Don't let a ... Read More

Inverter rice cookers, that's a great idea. I wonder if inverter used in a cooker is technically feasible. Read More

Don't think that residential condos use commercial rates. Your bill sounds about right, we were doing around 12-13k with just 1 old 2.5hp split type AC running at 15-18 hours a day. We use just this 1 AC in the living room to cool down our ... Read More

Anybody knows about fishing business in a small scale> i am wondering if I buy a second hand fishing boat in Iloilo , around 250.000 p , and rent it out to fishermen, can I make my living from it ? thank you
The key to doing business in the Phils for an expat is to build relationship first before doing any business. Know your surroundings and people around you. Do not be too trusting. If you're not hands-on, better not do the business. It is ... Read More

I may be wrong about this but technically, annulment does not allow one to remarry in the eyes of the law (Phils). Annulment basically - - disassociates responsibility between the couple, - changes their status to single, - reinstates respective ... Read More

I think the Phil Congress is trying to come out with a concise divorce law, something that legally acknowledges dissolution of marriage thus allowing re-marriage. At least on the legal side of things. This would be a good start even if the issue ... Read More

Regardless of your feelings about the breakup of a marriage, many Filipinos are stuck in a failed or abusive marriage simply because of church and or civil law with regard to annulment of the union. Then there is the sometimes exorbitant cost ...
Marriage annulment in the Phils has 2 parts to it. While the Catholic church may now be open to the idea of allowing annulments, this only applies to the spiritual side. The legal aspect is a totally different animal altogether. The Catholic ... Read More
