Hello, I’m your host here, commonly known as Philly.  My real name is Dave Starr.  I’m a US born man who has always been in love with Asia.

I’ve traveled extensively for business and pleasure and lived full-time in Thailand, Japan and extended periods in China. Seven years ago I met the love of my life, Mita in the Philippines and from then on the Philippines has been top of my list for a place to live.

I’m retired now and Mita and I are living in the Philippines permanently, in Marilao, Bulacan. I’ve seen a lot of information online about living in the Philippines and I decided to make a place to display and write about what I know and what others need to know. Enjoy.

You can contact me about anything Philippines … questions, comments, corrections at: davestarr(at)gmail(dot)com or call me/text me at: 1-719-966-4295 or text to 0919-231-5625
