Why The Philippines?

I think it is safe to say that you can take Mexico off your list. The drug trade has ruined the country for now in my opinion. You might also want to add Ecuador as well. The fact that English was understood and spoken by most in the Philippines was the deciding factor for me.

So they put in 13 more countries and it moves the Philippines up 10 places. Not a lot of difference between 139 and 149.

No you're right but it is better than the Bottom EH?

It is not a list I would bother referring to as their logic does not coincide enough with mine.

My Asawa ....and I at least feel somewhat comfortable there after living there 89-92 (Subic) and 20+ visits since then because of her.  Think my other choice would be Thailand or Malaysia.

Among others that some enjoy I would say "English Speaking" has a lot to do with it.

I first came to the Phills in 2010 and as soon as I walked around Cebu city and interacted with some people I though maybe just maybe I have found my place.I have been here 6 years now and have no plans to leave.

English as a language helps,the cost of living is 1 I can afford and my wife was also a deciding factor.Also I get no stress here.

I did think about taking her to the UK once but thought better of it as she would be taken advantage of over there as she is very trusting.
