Good Day to you all! My name is Dustin. I am a 30-yr-old male from the U.S. Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to start a Pen-Pal relationship with a wonderful and gorgeous Pinay. We fell very much in love. So much so, that I saved enough money to go visit her as a tourist. I love her so much... I flew to Manila for a Certificate to Marry and we have been Husband and Wife ever since. She lives in the Western Visayas region; Aklan to be specific. She has finished her OJT (On-The-Job-Training) and will be soon signing a 6-month employment contract on the breathtakingly beautiful island of Boracay. I have been scouring and searching the internet for available, furnished, studio apartments. In three weeks of searching (using a myriad of different search engines, posting/forum sites and word specific search parameter changes) the only available places I have been able to find are FULL CONDO COMPLEX BUILDINGS FOR SALE! The cheapest was a Four-Unit Condominium Complex for 5 Million PHP. (After a few stable fiscal years, we are planning to invest in purchasing one of these complexes.) Until then:
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!! All we need is a fair-priced Studio/Efficiency or 1 Bedroom Apartment for long term lease (6 months). And yes, I am in complete awareness that Boracay is a Resort area, therefore "fair pricing" is expected to be much more than in a close town like Banga or Kalibo. If anyone has any leads, resources, advice or knowledge to share on this topic, my wife and I would so greatly appreciate it. I am a published novelist (professional writer by trade). If anyone reading this can offer me something helping my move by May 1, 2015, I will even be happy to reward them with a free, SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR copy of my 1st published novel. (Keep in mind, there are ONLY 9 copies worldwide that contain a signature!!!) This would not be so difficult, or even a problem, if I could "Apartment-Shop" while in Boracay or even task my wife with this endeavor. However, I am currently stuck in the U.S. with a medical problem and my better half is much too far away to simply travel to Boracay to look herself. However, like I said, online I can find NO POSTINGS for availability other than Hotels/Condo Complexes/Travel Rentals. PLEASE HELP!!! Have a wonderful and passionate day full of amazement! Just FYI, I have inquired with SEVERAL realtor agencies and independent agents to no avail. After weeks, I still have yet to find one reply within my E-Mail inbox. :-(
