Retirement In Manila

[SaintPeter5858]

If you're still below 70 yrs old, it's better to stay in the provinces

[U.P. AdMU2008]

Good if you have at least 1,000 sq.m. of lot in your house

[SaintPeter5858]

Not practicl for an aging person

[BrightestStar]

Polluted na eh

[SaintPeter5858]

Not very enjoyable coz of pollution

[BrightestStar]

OK lang if malapit sa hospital.

[SaintPeter5858]

I might just die early here.

[boyakiniku]

if you have properties outside manila mas maganda dun

[SaintPeter5858]

Expensive right?

[BrightestStar]

It's not advisable for me because of the level of pollution.

[SaintPeter5858]

Maybe if I have a private nurse

Our tradition of cuddling our old folks up to their old age , has it's drawbacks big time. We do not let our old folks, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, parents and grandparents live in dignity and quality of life suited to their long and ardous and productive lives. They need respect. They need activity, They need their health actively taken cared of. They need to play, to talk stories to be still productive in their senoir years. Their retirement should be meaningful. They are our aged educators, doctors, attorneys, our slum dog millionaires, our alzheimer stricken parents. At our own homes they are sometimes more neglected and ignored. Love sometimes is hard to give to our aged folks. sometimes they say being stubborn is a sign of the beginning of senility. Organized growing old with dignity, pride and productivity is somehow very elusive in the philippines only because we hang on to our age old tradition and custom for caring our old folks. Organized senior livng and home care is not a replacement or and adjunct to that. Rather it is the new way of dignifying old age amongst our citizenry. Health care is provided continuously. food, personal hygiene , exercise, play and other activities are well established. other family members are free to visit anytime day and night and can attend to their needs too by sometimes taking them on trips, vacations and taking them into their homes once in a while. The needs of our retired teachers, policemen, lawyers, engineers, accountants, politicians, doctors , businesspeople and aged people in between are extremely important in the pursuit of happiness and joy. Realizing that active adult living is not for everybody, the common denominator for everything is quality age old living, both supervised and unsupervised depending on the individual. So why not start a trend. sometimes older folks are better off being left on their on to pursue their pleasures in life. Watching TV, learning new skills like computer, planting, bingo, dance or field trips are very exhilerating to them. So maybe you'll see me in this community in time!!!!

obviously hindi ka lumaki sa pinas Pre; alaga namin mga lolo at lola namin hanggang sa huling hantungan

[Fornicator]

Bad choice man! Tagaytay or Baguio for me

You need to keep sharpening your mind and watch your wellness with regularity when you retire.It's not like you chill and enjoy the fruits of your long labor. Otherwise, your 'big' earnings will just go to your upkeep to stay alive and well.

 

Now, the retirement money you can earn here in the country (unless your a consciously fit CEO) wouldn't be enough to sustain these 'musts'

[c=("")=&]

Wanna retire in Tagaytay too!

[JohnLee]

Davao City is the choice for me if I retire today. Very clean, very safe, much cheaper, polite people & much less stressful than living in Manila.

[Hari ng Spakol]

i want to retire in Davao City, a very nice and safe place to live

[rbfmale]

Tagaytay, better

[omega2959]

okay siguro kung malapit sa hospital

[Piaggio]

Farm somewhere South that's accessible via the tollways.

[omega2959]

I think Cebu is the new haven these days before retirement, particularly expats and foreigners.

 

lots of koreans there

[spamlover]

Not manila... I hope.

[MRROUGHSEX]

I've never been to Cebu but heard great things about it. I'll consider it for retirement. Sorry off topic.

i do not think you are off topic. it may be a good discussion on why not to choose manila

[omega2959]

 

Syempre, mema lang ako. Memasabi. But it's true though.

 

so you would prefer cebu for retirement over manila?
