Generally speaking, moving to the Philippines is a step in the direction of slavery. Why? Their government is a civil law government. This means that it is formally a government that is a dictator by government.

Mmm no, they actually have elections. They genuinely seem sick of their of their drug problem, they don't have capital punishment, so the president told the police force that he would basically look the other way if they had to kill a drug "pusher" in a shootout. No doubt innocent people are among the 6,000+ killed by police and vigilantes since Duterte took office. There's also the strong probability that police are extorting people by saying they are drug dealers when they really aren't, yet Duterte seems to be anti-police corruption as well. All I know is I'm not a drug dealer and I don't look like one. I'm also not hanging around the slums of Manila.

You should try some drug dealing there. Heard it's THE upcoming market right now!

Lol. Ironically, the president is pro-medical marijuana, so maybe I can open a dispensary. Though probably not.

Like you mention, it costs a lot more in the USA. I have to stay here and live and work. Can you donate to me? I need the money more than you do?

The solution is that you move to a cheaper place within the U.S. so that way you can still donate money to me. Problem solved.

Thanks everybody else for your suggestions. Keep em coming! I genuinely like learning about international life experiences. I really should be more of a world traveler but I am already comfortable with the Philippines.

Who let you in the US? Trump has made clear that immigration policy will be tightened. And it is probably correct. In his place I would have invited everyone and settled in the abandoned city.

Anybody who is fluent in English and understands common law and its usage in the courts, can move to America. He can live and get various jobs all over the place that don't require any Social Security Number. If he is found out, common law will let him beat the system in the courts, and remain in America.

Cool
