You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!


Visitors of germanexpatinthephilippines/Besucher dieser Webseite.Ich liebe meine Flaggensammlung!

YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND

My column in Mindanao Daily News and BusinessWeek Mindanao 


OPINION
By KLAUS DÖRING
 September 29, 2021

When I was still a young boy, I was taught that there might be fairy creatures offering us three free wishes. We should be always so wise enough to think it over very well and select the best wishes for our very own. Sure, there will be always classic stupidities regarding fairy-wishes. We are all human beings and don't belong to the fairy category.

Your wish is my command! And, there is someone who wishes at first a strong health, and - sure, he or she receives it, because good fairies never hesitate. And now and then? Here he is, for example, the healthy man is like a boulder in the surf, but surrounded by a world of war, flames and so-called military conflicts. But this man is still alive and as fit as a fiddler. Why should he wish for a strong health...?

Well, maybe we have to formulate our wishes for something moreimproved. But what? Discretion is the better part of valor. Let's try it like a fairy-tale and ask for wealth, riches and abundance. These are the one and only things on earth, right?

With money we can travel around the globe, find friends, even in far away distances, and we can do charities. Well, and if we might become sick, maybe seriously sick, we must not worry. We can afford and finance the most affordable doctors and most updated hospitals to give us back to good health. And if not?

In many fairy tales we can also find the one with unassuming manners, inconspicuous, poorly dressed-up, a little bit silly, mostly disregarded and easily to be overlooked. This guy has only one wish, such as eternal salvation and bliss with a little stool in heaven besides God. And guys, be sure, that he will get it, and, he is happy and very Thank you. So far so good, it seems the simpleton has been the brightest.

It's all right: three wishes and no one more. A different thing, isn't it?
If all human beings on this entire globe could be all around happy, which means to say: nobody must go hungry any more, nobody must be despairing, nobody must be worried about wars and cat astrophes, and everybody should be able to enjoy health and happiness without bearing trials ... yes, if ... Then we wouldn't need fairy-wishes... .

Real life looks different. Real life is not a fairy tale. We need prayers and should be more respectful and friendly to each other. Especially nowadays. All around the globe. Each one of us has his or her own three wishes. Me too.

One of them:  peace on earth!

Your wish is my command

My column in Mindanao Daily, Mindanao Daily Mirror and Businessweek Mindanao

When I was still a young boy, I have been taught that there might be
fairy creatures offering us three free wishes. We should be always so
wise enough to think it over very well and select the best wishes for
our very own. Sure, there will be always classic stupidities regarding
fairy-wishes. We are all human beings and don't belong to the fairy
category.

Your wish is my command! And, there is someone who wishes at first a
strong health, and - sure, he or she receives it, because good fairies
never hesitate. And now and then? Here he is, for example, the healthy
man is like a boulder in the surf, but surrounded by a world of war,
flames and so-called military conflicts. But this man is still alive
and as fit as a fiddler. Why should he wishes for a strong health...?

Well, maybe we have to formulate our wishes for something more
improved. But what? Discretion is the better part of valor. Let's try
it like a fairy-tale and ask for wealth, riches and abundance. These

If all human beings on this entire globe could be all around happy,
which means to say: nobody must go hungry any more, nobody must be
despairing, nobody must be worried about wars and catastrophes, and
everybody could be able to enjoy health and happiness without bearing
trials ... yes, if ... Then we wouldn't need fairy-wishes... .

Real life looks different. Real life is not a fairy tale. We need
