Re: moving to the philippines "2"
I would like my twin nieces who live with us to learn to drive as well, they will be twenty in a couple of months time. 
When my daughter was small she was all for mummy learning to drive, but once she was four, she went off that idea. My wife doesn't want to learn to drive anyway. A few males in the family drive professionally.

The so called "professional drivers" are among the worst drivers here! My wife had a few lessons in Manila in an automatic. Got her licence and international permit which includes manuals as well!! Quite often i have to tell her to open the door to "let the clutch out"!!!

Re: moving to the philippines "2"
Good to hear things are working out for you. Whether you can add further levels will depend a lot on the steel in the columns. Hope you have found a good engineer.
Were you included in the house purchase paperwork?
Dont bother with ac myself as get sea breeze and its actually a little chilly at night.

Nice one BB sounds like you are buying up most of Bulucan lol
What I was asking was your name included on the paperwork to prove you are financing everything?
Good to hear your enjoying yourself and the in-laws are happy. Makes a refreshing change from ex-pats who seem to moan about this country!!
