I am a local, although technically I'm in Quezon City, but I would like to be a Dumaguete local

And, I have been <i>frogramming confuters</i> since way back and I've been doing it for local wages, I probably make 1/5th to 1/8th of what I could be getting abroad! While most of my colleagues have migrated away from the Philippines and into the "white man's world", I've been providing world class support and services to a few local companies and basically kept the Philippine economy from going under! (<i>read that as I was having too much fun enjoying life here that I didn't take the brain-drain-leave-the-philippines-and-make-lots-of-cash-abroad route<i>.) Maybe I should get a medal or a statue even...

Too many foreigners are realizing that the Philippines is actually a great place to spend the rest of their lives in. Hey, I've been here the whole time! It's just that I haven't yet made enough cash to be able to actually go around and enjoy its every nook and cranny.
