Hej.
Här kommer lite info om Angeles city,där finns det tusentals snygga,sköna damer att tillgå samt casinon.
A good friend of mine in California, still working had a bad day. He was complaining about the usual things: huge new house payments in Huntington Beach, house utilities, car & property insurance (more than double what I pay for rent) trying to pay for his kid's college. Driving 60 miles round trip to work. I thought I'd cheer him up so I sent him this!
Philippine prices:
1. 23 cents a bottle, San Miguel light 12oz (excellent beer)
2. 35 cents a bottle, Red Horse knock your socks off local beer 32oz (ok but STRONG!)
3. $2 a bottle, London or Gilbey's Gin 32oz (good, after 3rd drink, who cares!)
4. 60 cents a bottle, ESQ Rum 24oz (good, after 3rd drink, who cares!)
5. $75, Month rent for 2-bedroom house.
6. American food in stores, about the same as the states.
7. Philippine food on market day, vegetables, pork & beef, Dirt-cheap.
8. Fish, Dorado & Lapu-Lapu, both excellent, $4 a Kilo, 2.2 lbs. Local funny looking fish, $2 for 2.2 lbs.
9. Rice, 90% of there diet, 35 cents 2.2 lbs.
10. Food cooked in the little open-air diners, 60 cents for more than you can eat. Never got sick, that's more than I can say for American restaurants. (Good food), (after 3rd drink, who cares!)
11. American cigs, 40 cents a pack.
12. Jeepney, like a big Jeep, holds 12, 8 cents for up to about 5 miles. (Ok but watch out for pick-pockets & frisky girls)
13. Flan, same as Mexico & Mex restaurants in California. $3.60 for a huge pie, (excellent.)
14. Apples, best I've ever had, 10 cents each. Come from Australia I think.
15. Clothes cheap, walking shorts $1 up. Pocket t-shirts $1 up. Button shirts $2 up
16. $1500 a month income & live like a King.
Come on over!!!!!!
will share with you my actual costs for relocating to AC, for those considering it for the future. I committed myself to keep a low profile when living here, while maintaining a fair comfort level for myself. Remember, I live alone. (thank God)
Rent: 10,000 per month
3 bedroom + maids room. Fully detached house. Two full bathrooms with double-size showers. Large eat-in kitchen with rear (8x10) foyer! Living/dining room is about the size of Champagne Bar. Walk-in pantry. Large front, side and rear yards. The house was in perfect, move-in condition. I just repainted the interior and exterior to suit my color preferences, but it really didn't need it.
Visa extension:
Express service from Swagman Travel on Fields: 2770 peso
Electric: I have not received my first bill yet, but as I have two a/c units (3/4 HP, 1.5 HP) and two fans, I expect to pay no more than 5000 peso/month. The smaller unit runs continuously, but the larger one gets shut off at night.
Two hot water heaters 3500 peso
(the kind that hook up to the shower head) including installation by electrician
Condura Fridge (mid-size) 8000 peso
Sharp Ÿ HP a/c unit 13000 peso
Samsung 1.5 HP a/c unit 17500 peso
A/C installation with two bracket/cages 1500 peso
Pensonic large floor fan (stainless) 950 peso
Dish-draining cabinet 675 peso
29" Samwon TV 12,350 peso
Computer chair 2400 peso
Computer table 2665 peso
Three piece velour sofa set 10,000 peso
(really gorgeous set) Three-seater plus two club chairs & coffee table
King size bed (master bedroom) 5500 peso

King size bed (guest bedroom) 4000 peso

Suteki Rice cooker/steamer 549 peso
Promac single burner gas stove 379 peso
Gas tank plus fill, hose, and regulator 1500 peso
Assorted kitchen shit 2000 peso
Computer 8000 peso
I bought the oldest and ugliest piece of shit I could find and then modernized its brain and guts. I only need it for email and internet telephone use. Good thinking on my part. When the bastards broke into my place they must have taken one look at the yellowed monitor, hard drive case and keyboard, and left it for worthless-just as was my intention. Who's laughing now?
Internet:
Cable modem 12625 peso (try to buy a used one if you can)
1 month deposit 2750 peso
installation 2000 peso
LAN card 500 peso
lightning prot. 395 peso
patchcord 295 peso
connector 155.5 peso
total: 18720.5 peso
Cable TV (needed for cable internet)
Deposit 1350 peso
Monthly 495 peso
Water:
I have not receive a bill yet, but shower gets heavy use: myself, the girls, before and after........you know.
Garbage removal: 100 peso/month
Gardener: 200 peso per visit (once or twice a month is all that is needed. They will try to come every week)
So, to put it safely, I spent about 115,000 to 120,000 peso to set myself up here in AC. (not including the 5000 peso I spend with private car and driver to drive me around for five days looking for a house. So lets say 125,000 peso, plus a cell phone (5000) plus 1 years rent in advance, makes it total 250,000 peso, about $4900 USD. That kind of money will barely get you an apartment deposit, some furniture and one months rent in Toronto. Here you are practically set up for the whole year.
Personally, I plan to put a lot more stuff in my house, after the locals have gotten tired of breaking in to my place. A remodeled kitchen in my head at this time, maybe a pool table, but I'm in no rush.
My monthly living expenses are:
Rent 10000
Cable (tv+internet) 4100
Electric 5000
Misc. utilities: water,
Garden, garbage 5000
Total: 24100 peso = $470 USD
I cook and eat mostly at home (just another excuse for the girls to come over on their own time) and I don't drink alcohol, so my grocery/laundry bill comes to maybe 4000 to 5000 peso/month at most.
So I can live here for about $600 USD/ month very comfortably. Without nightlife spending, of course
If you eliminate the internet cable and the a/c usage and rent a more modest place, you can get away with maybe $200 USD per month.
My entertainment/nightlife spending is my own business, thank you very much. But you can easily spend a basic 2000 peso a day in the bars between drinks and 1 bar fine per day.
That's 60,000 peso per month which is another $1160 USD bringing the grand total for life in paradise to: $1760 USD per month for really living it up. If you have a steady girlfriend (which might only reduce your nightlife spending a little bit) you might get away with $1000 USD per month total.
i would recommend you buy a copy of buy and sell, there are plenty of advertised for rent or sale houses all over the philippines and i am very sure you could find one in angeles at a reasonable price. You can buy Buy and Sell FREE ADS PAPER at 7-11 convenience store or at mercury drugstores nationwide or you may visit their website at
buyandsellph.com but I recommend buying the paper coz you will see more clearly in there. hope this helps.
ANGELES CITY where Clark Air Force Base was until Mt. Pinatubo blew up in 1991, is still full of night life, in the Bali ago section, with more bar girls and dancers per capita than any place in the Philippines.
These are commercial sex workers, licensed by the government so they can be subjected to health inspections for everything from TB to AIDS. But at the same time, prostitutes and prostitution are many places, as in every nation in the world, is illegal.
The prostitutes and bar girls, synonymous, are sometimes arrested and prosecuted as are owners who have nude and topless shows also illegal in this country.
Prostitution will continue to flourish in the Philippines and other developing countries as long as there is abject poverty. But because of the strong moral and Catholic culture, I believe only a small income will keep many from engaging in this practice they, their families and their religions find repulsive, immoral, degrading and not the least, dangerous to the individual's and the nations health.
