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!

Illegal Schools in Davao City

The committee on education, science and technology, culture and arts of the city council has set a hearing on November 14 on allegations that some private schools in the city are operating without a permit.

Committee chair Councilor Leah Librado-Yap scheduled the hearing after receiving several complaints against such schools.

Yap said she is encouraging other parents whose children are enrolled in illegal schools to immediately report to her office or write to the Department of education Region XI. By the way, the region has a total of 215 registered private schools for the  school year 2011/2012.

There are also operating several (private) language schools without permit but claiming "to be accredited by CHED and/or DepEd".

Mabel Acosta - Outstanding Councilor of the Philippines?



Yes, it's campaigning time in the Philippines. Don't get me wrong, I am not campaigning for anybody. I am sure, everybody understand that I am still entitled to have my own opinion as an expat living in the Philippines, although I am not being able to vote.

Maria Belen "Mabel" Sunga-Acosta, Davao City's councilor and good friend of mine, voiced it out in an interview several days ago: "Yes, I like to serve my people as a politician - now also in and from Manila!"

A national organization recently named Mabel Acosta as the Davao's region's contender for the "Ten Outstanding Councilors of the Philippines" (TOCP) Awards for 2009.

This prestigious annual award is organized by the Junior Chamber Chamber International Philippines. an affiliate of the Worldwide Federation of Young Leaders and Entrepreneurs, and is involved with the Philippine Councilors, JCI Philippines and Office of senator Edgardo Angara.

Good luck Mabel!
