Dear Future Expat Living In The Philippines,
I Love Living In The Philippines!

I
If I had the information in this comprehensive manual, I would have been in the Philippines a year before I actually made it here.
Once I got here, I found a beautiful angelic Filipina half my age that treats me like a king. I just wish I hadn’t wasted so much time before I made the move. Fear of the unknown was a major factor that caused my delays. I can remove that fear by giving you the facts! If I can do it, anyone can do it. Look below, see for yourself!

On The Filipina and Flirting
An Excerpt from Basic Expat Training
“…You see, Filipina might flirt with you but if they do, you need to show respect first.”
“….Now had I pounced on this opportunity, I can assure you they would have become immediately allusive, possibly even offended.”
Flirting is an art in any land. For me it is a hobby. Once I came to the Philippines, I had to refine my art and approach it in a whole new way. It took some time but this eBook will dramatically reduce your learning time and increase your success rate with the wonderful ladies of the Philippines.
