MalcolmEdward

My name is Malcolm from London originally. I will be coming to Manila shortly to marry Azel who is from Samar.  I am interested in meeting ex-pats and locals as well as any work and business opportunities. I have extensive management and business experience. I have also taught and tutored English.

Hello MalcolmEdward!

I would suggest you to post an advert in the jobs section of Cebu classifieds.
It might help ;)

Hi Malcom!

I'm moving to the Phils in January and not sure where I'll base myself out of... but likely Makati... I do plan on visiting Cebu and will know when I do... Hope to meet other expats there too.

so Malcolm, where will you particularly live in the Philippines?  The three big metropolis are Manila, Cebu, and Davao.

Hi Benjamin
I am planning to meet my fiancee in Samar and stay with her family. Probably marrying in Manila early December. For the right work opportunity, we will live anywhere although my personal preferences would be Cebu then Manila, not sure about Davao, would need to research that more thoroughly before we made a decision.

hi malcolm i live on mactan island just outside cebu been here nearly a year its ok but one thing you must have is good medical cover as its not like u.k where everythings free .you have to pay up front for everything then claim from your insurance so you need lots of money set aside in case you need it.thats the main reason i,m returning .weather is good all year round people are friendly food is cheap but electric is 5th most expensive in the world and as you need air con all the time coz its so sticky you gotta pay high bucks .apart from that enjoy lol
