Welcome to the forum Goldy and good luck with your quest.

Out of interest why do your parents have a negative outlook towards the Philippines?

They are probably tarring it with the same brush as many use for Thailand

I'm 49yrs I will not be retiring age until maybe now 66-67yrs depending on what the new rules are on retirement age in England Uk.I'm on ESA benefit with not much hope of a better income in the future.One hope I've got is to win the national lottery Saturday draw lotto jackpot which is unlikely.I do this once a week.

Well when I bought a package in 2008 and told my mum I was going I was told by them that parts of the Philippines were to dangerous to travel to .I think one of them had read the travel advice on the Philippines.I said I was not goint to the dangerous parts mentioned in the travel advice at the time but they would not agree the country was safe to visit and tried to persuade me to cancel the package.After telling them I was not going to the dangerous parts that is at the time the parts that were not safe to travel to going by the travel advice pages.I don't know only that maybe she had heard that some people there are very poor.
