hi all

i am very new here in Manila, working in Ortigas and currently living here as well but looking for a permanent place soon either here or Makati area

would like to meet other expats since i am new here and do not have much friends so far especially with this holiday season. As I have just moved here from France and I really do not want to forget my french, i would really want to meet with some francophone to practice my french. But i am open to meet any other expats as well.

if you are around here / makati, we could meet for drink or can meet up during the holiday or weekend.

contact me

thanks

Hello redwine2, you may also propose a language exchange and post it in Manila classifieds.;)

Hope it helps,
Harmonie.

Hey redwine2, I'm also very  new here and I'm gonna be staying in Makati for 3 months. I'd love to meet up with you, if you're free! And I'd love to make new friends as well. I'm originally from New York, but I am interning here for 3 months.

Hi all I am moving to Makati on Friday from the UK.  Yikes!  Would love to meet new people when we get settled, I have young children too so be great to meet some other families.
Thanks

For foreigners here who want to meet up with people from their homelands, I suggest you contact your respective embassies. Maybe they can direct you to activities or organizations that involve  your compatriots.

Mabuhay as we would welcome foreign nationals. I trust you like the Philippines and adjusting well. Should you need assistance please do not hesitate to ask. Kind regards!
