Expats San Pablo Laguna

[PeterC]

We've been meeting for a couple of years now there are about 15 of us. Mainly UK and US men plus a couple of Australians with their Filipino wives.   We began with a meetup at McDonalds on the first Sunday of the month at 10 am, we just chatter and have burgers for a couple of hours.

Some of the group enjoy a beer and meetup on Friday nights at a bar in town.

Members open their homes up for special events and they are always well attended. Looking forward to meeting up at Mike and Jennas house in Nachahlen for the next Pacqio fight, Mike has payperview which is good. the wives bring trays of food to help out with the buffet.

Yep all over the Philippines Macca's at breakfast time extended through the morning seems to be popular.

There's a group in Laoag around 10 Americans and Brits. Here in Vigan there's a small group but we text each other because it's not daily. There's one in SF La Union. Laoag is daily. Not sure on the others.

Maccas as we call it in Australia offers a decent cup of coffee with refill. Another attraction.

We mustn't forget the "Senior Citizens " discount card and the free newspaper for that big breakfast, quite a bargain really. The macdos in SM that opens at 10am do not serve breakfast which is a shame because pancakes and coffee are very palatable.

Cannot decide whether the coffee in 'dunkin doughnuts" is better than Mcdos. I do enjoy their coleslaw rolls with coffee.

In S&R the other day and saw dunkin doughnuts ground coffee for sale, will buy some next time we are there.

Is this the same group that is on Facebook?  If so I liked your facebook page some time ago.

Welcome to the forum.  Me and my wife have been looking at retiring to either Tagaytay (closer to her family but more expensive) or to San Pablo (farther from her family ) but cheaper and still within a few hours drive from her family in Nasugbu Batangas.  We did really like San Pablo and we've been there quite a few times.  We've looked into a couple of gated communities in that area.

 

Again, welcome

Tagaytay seems nice to live at first glance but it is a spreading metropolis without a centre. Lots of restaurants and pension houses and entertainment places that get crowded at weekends....jammed solid!

We enjoyed shopping during the week there. During the winter time the weather is chilly and cars don't have heaters but you need a/c to keep the windows clear early in the morning.

 

Would be happy to meet up here if you are like sometime.
