My name is Frank and I’ll be retiring to the Philippines (Baguio) soon, having lived in Baguio in my 30’s and falling in love with the city, and of course Filipinos. Filipinos are what make the Philippines the Philippines. My background is rooted in Information Technology, but over the years I’ve expanded into areas such as GIS, subsurface modeling, remote sensing, database integration, LIDAR applications, BIM, coding, and consulting. I’ve applied this multidisciplinary experience across diverse industries, including Environmental, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, Non-Destructive Testing, Power Generation, Oil & Gas, and Construction. My most recent and relevant experience has been working as IT consulting mainly for SMB business of all things. It’s a lot of twists and turns if I look back, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’ve been blessed to receive an abundance of opportunities to learn new things over the years.
I was planning on retiring at 50, but things have changed recently with the modification of the SRRV to include those in their 40’s, so here we go!
Along the way I’ve done a lot of preparation and research and wanted to document it and share it as best as I could. I plan on building this site out quite a bit more to include other ASEAN countries, so stay tuned. Right now we’re just going over the basic questions that most people (including myself) had, but the information will continue to get better and better.
I thought about making a YouTube, but I’m an introvert and still prefer the written form, so that’s why I started this website. Hopefully you find it informational and of some value. Cheers!
