To retire early as soon as posible. Maybe age 35 to 40. Thats why we invest ngayon po sa mga investment vehicle po sa Pinas. And be insured po both life and health. Basta po nasa inyo ngayon yung buhay na pangarap namin. And Im so happy po sainyo. You did a good job po very disciplined and well plan. That should be po.

    Hi @AteGi another great blog again. Every time I watch your video It motivate me to really retire early perhaps 62. Just like you I started late in my retirement investment and does not really have any idea on money wise expenses when you are in Philippines. I plan seguro to have a part time job while in Philippines para lang may libangan tsaka mag travel too. Although, I take advantage to travel while I can kc nga I know when you reach a certain age mahirap ng mag travel.

    Thank you po sa vlog mo. Health Insurance talaga ang problema ko if I will retire in the Philippines. In Germany I do not have any problem dealing with health insurance. Everything functions here very well. We do not need to make downpayment or need to pay before treatment. After treatment we will receive invoices with 30 days payment due date. So we will submit them to the health insurance per digital processing and we can tract online the processing status. More often we will get refund before the due date. I also researched about health insurance in the Philippines. I had a breast cancer last 2008 and I stoped summing up the hospital bills, medication etc after I reached 50.000 EUR. This is about 2.8 Mio pesos. This 50.000 Eur was the costs at the very beginning of the treatment - operation, chemotherapy. This is really a horror of me the health insurance topic. Let us see. In 10 years i will retire. God bless us all 🩵🤍

    Hi Ate Gi. I replied to your inquiry about the long term care insurance. I hope you saw it. I forgot to mention that as a senior (60+), every Filipino automatically qualifies for a senior card and Phil Health, free of charge. Even if you still reside in the U.S., you can get a senior card when you're here and you will get 20% in all eating places including McDonald's and Starbucks! If one has a medical disability, one can get a PWD (Persons With Disability) card which also entitles you to a 20% discount. Once you have a senior's card, you can get a Phil.Health card easily even without other documentations (it took me less than 15 mins to get one). If you are hospitalized, Phil Health discount is automatically deducted. I had a deduction when I had my cataracts extracted. For medications and groceries, you need to apply in the Barangay where you're residing to get a booklet to record the medicines and groceries you're buying. I hope this information helps.

Kami rin po, we trust the medical care sa atin cause we are based in Manila. Makati Med, St. Luke's BGC or Asian Hospital are all accessible to us. Whenever I visit, I take care of picking up my mom's meds from Mercury Drug. I know about that booklet ☺. I didn't know about the grocery discounts. That there's a booklet to track that too. I'll tell my mom. Yes, seniors are given priority and respect in the Philippines. It's really wonderful. In 2 years, I'll get the same privilege. Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng inputs nyo.
