“Don’t you have any contingency plans in case the next super typhoon hits your area? :)”

Hahahaha, that would be the least of my worries.
Typhoons are not tornadoes, as I had back in Tennessee.
I had one of those hit my plastics factory one night, with no warning.
Typhoons are the south Pacific version of hurricanes. Unlike tornadoes, We have many days of tracking and warning.
In the five years here, we have taken only one precautionary move to a hotel that is only a few blocks from my beach house. We did that only because of our three year old boy. That was quite recently. As it was, there was no damage to our house. Electricity was out only for a few hours.
If we do want to evacuate to very high ground, 3000 foot elevation is in our same municipality.
Well, I’m glad you have everything planned out.
I was in the Philippines over 20 years ago, but never went to the Visayas. I stayed there for 3 years working with an American semiconductor company to keep it up and running ( even learned to speak some Tagalog on the way ).
But I had to file taxes on my earnings IN MANILA to the US government.
So, living in the Philippines for 10 years, do you have income there? If so, you are required to file US income taxes on your income BY LAW or else.... well, let’s just say the IRS deems you a tax criminal.
I know the whole thing is ridiculous, but then, it’s been like that since we abandoned the original intent of our constitution.
One other solution is probably to apply for Philippine citizenship ( I think they recognize DUAL citizenships ).
I’d give anything to see this stupid, unconstitutional, tyrannical law abolished.
