You’ve met her. You dream of a life filled with sunset beaches, vibrant culture, and a love that feels like home. But between that dream and your “happily ever after” lies a gap—a complex world of unspoken family rules, financial expectations, and cultural codes that no travel blog will ever prepare you for.
If you’re a foreign man serious about building a real, sustainable life in the Philippines with your Filipino partner, guesswork is your greatest enemy. “Relocating Overseas For An Island Princess” is the definitive, no-nonsense manual that replaces romanticized fantasy with boots-on-the-ground reality.
Why This Guide is Different: Hard-Won Wisdom, Not Theory
Written by Merv Moore, who has been married to a Filipina for over 27 years, this is not a theoretical guide. After marrying his “Island Princess,” Lerma, Merv walked away from a baseball coaching career. He has navigated the journey from a wide-eyed newcomer to an integrated community member, facing every challenge firsthand.
This 15-chapter guide is born from direct experience, offering the compassionate but direct advice he wished he had when he started.
