If there is one place I might consider retiring to in the PH, it's the northernmost islands..... I like the isolation.

No internet there.

I want the isolation......

No phone calls. No Internet. Go fishing everyday. Cook them fish over an open flame.

No relatives, no bills, no pesky salesmen and religious solicitors and no nosy neighbors[emoji106]

I love having relatives around! I consider my Dad and Mom's siblings as family and not just relatives since we are very close. I don't havet siblings and wish we had a big nuclear family

BTT I don't plan for retirement. I don't think I will live long enough to reach retirement age.

This place people are starting to crowd.

But this place is still immaculate. I'm buying a piece of land here maybe with a beach front.

Beautiful place!!!!!!!!

On the second photo the population is estimated to be in the 50k range. Now thats a baby population. People are still honest and polite. We saw stores unmanned for hours and their wares never touched. Food especially seafood are super cheap and fresh specially their livestock. Peace and order is remarkable and it's proximity to Manila is just like going to Baguio or Nasugbu. That's why I arranged for a land purchase as I have fallen over heels over her majestic sea scape and her people. i'm going back there again next week to seal the deal.

Dipaculao, Aurora province. About 45 mins from Baler but there is a shorter route from Maria Aurora so we reached the place about 5 hours from Manila. All roads are paved in concrete with occasional asphalt overlay but it was a very relaxing drive with all the sceneries and the low volume of traffic. In fact, there were more people than vehicles were we passed and the we got so distracted with the view that we lost tract of time. Oh, and on our 2nd day we were asking what day it was already and by the third we lost it completely and never wanted to go home.:springsmile:
