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!

Every generalization is false, including this one. I think, therefor I'm unsure.

I've been a teacher, a writer, editor, researcher, a quiz show contender, a communications consultant, and a call center agent and I still plan to put up a business.

I don't mean its translation but its ‘kahulugan’ or ‘pakahulugan.’

Its stylized translation is: “The hardest bread does not stand a chance when dunked in hot coffee.

It just means that, no matter how strong you are, you are weak or vulnerable against something else that you might not expect. It gives the idea that you may seem tough in ordinary circumstances but when placed out of your natural element, you dissolve easily.

Or, even a toothless old woman can eat the hardest bread when it is soggy and softened by hot coffee — this indicates that there is a smart or clever way to solve the most difficult problem.
