An unmoderated but policed group for the sensible discussion and dissemination of information and debate on the topic of living in the Philippines, finding and marrying a Filipina, assessing whether the Philippines is the right retirement destination for you and many other related issues.

Bad language, insults, flames, rudeness etc will NOT be tolerated. To join you must tell us why you wish to join. If you are unidentifiable then I will refuse your application. We do not want people who hide behind obscure email addresses and can't be identified. They tend to be spammers or problems in the making. No Yahoo Profile, no join. No like? Too bad.

You can discuss any related topic, even R rated ones but do it in a PG-MA style, as if you were at the dinner table with your parents and children. If you wish to debate religious topics, make sure you include "Religious Debate" in the subject header or your post will be removed. Political posts that are clearly related to the Philippines or are about Philippine politics are allowed. No other political type posts are allowed period.

No Spam or get rich quick rubbish but all Expats and Kanos are welcome to promote their business activities, products and services within reason. If you have a Filipino inlaw with a business then by all means but no Filipinos because: WE ONLY GET THE SPAM- GET RICH QUICK- ENTREPRENEURS No obscene material, prostitution or similar business ventures can be posted for obvious reasons. If in doubt, email me first for clarification. NO ABUNDANCE CREATORS, LIFE COACHES OR 'ENTREPRENEURS' PLEASE! TRUST ME, WE ARE NOT AS JAZZED UP OVER KYOSAKI AND ROBBINS AS YOU ARE! POST AND YOU WILL BE REMOVED ASAP!No entrepreneurs wanting to make the Philippines a better place or provide employment or people who want to swap links or tell us how to make money.
