Why, you say?
Because everything we need for our retirement is over there!
• the cost of living is amazingly affordable
• the climate is mild (not too hot/not too cold)
• living is “safe and secure” (like anywhere in the world)
• the people speak English, no need to learn a new language
• people are friendly, hospitable, warm and somewhat “Westernized”
• majority of the people are Christian, so there are no dietary laws to observe
• the country is lovely and the night life in the city is alive
• so many more other reasons!This little country seems to be the best place for retirement!

Aguila Beach Resort is in Anilao, Mabini, Batangas in Philippines. It is about 3 hours drive from Manila. If you are commuting via public transportation—take a bus heading to Batangas. This is about 90 minutes. You then need to take a jeep ride for another 90 minutes. Those wanting to go and visit Anilao as destination, would find this place heavenly. The short drive from Metro Manila is convenient for a day tour or few days stay. Staying few days, you might want to take some time seeing the world from beneath. This paradise has great underwater views—diving would be what I assume people would go for. If not, a weekend getaway would be great too? Almost like a getaway from Sydney and you are staying in Newcastle. – asimplecreation.com

Built like a house by the sea, Balai Beach Resort is perched atop a rocky slope in San Teodoro Mabini, Batangas. Architecturally designed with vast open spaces, it offers sweeping views of the sea. Scattered around are groves of trees, left to grow in their natural habitat, that frame the view from each of the decks of the nipa and bamboo cottages.
Relaxing comes so easily that one almost forgets that Balai is just minutes away from some of Batangas’ most colorful dive spots. Open everyday and all year round, Balai offers SCUBA diving and other sports equipment to guests who are out to discover the wonders of another world under the sea. – myphilippines.info
