This article I saw on The Wall Street Journal really intrigued me as I often wondered how foreigners who retired here were doing.
Besides seeing a glimpse on how they're living "the good life" here, I also saw how us, as Filipinos disregard our own country in favor of others, like the USA, UK or other first world countries.
Our country really is a great place to retire in. No extreme winters, with goods and services that are comparatively cheap. Peace and order are also good in most areas, plus the people are mostly good-natured.

Best Places to Retire Abroad: The Philippines
Beautiful beaches and fresh seafood delivered to the door are among the

If you are considering retiring in another country, I am no doubt biased,
but I believe it’s hard to beat the Philippines.
I first visited this island nation (about 7,000 islands in all) 24 years
ago when I was 52 years old. At that time I was a college professor doing
research, and friends introduced me to a lovely young lady who over time became
my wife. I am now 76 and retired, and my wife and I plan on spending much of
the rest of our lives in the Philippines.
