It's no secret that the world is changing. Life has become too fast paced, too expensive, more restrictive, less safe, less clean and worst of all over taxed. Many people have started searching for that one place where lower taxes and a traditional way of life exists as it did half a century ago. Fortunately there is still a place where you can Escape the Everyday - it's called Subic Bay Freeport Zone in the beautiful Philippine Islands.
A former American colony, the Philippines has the third largest English speaking population in the world and continues to enjoy a Western inspired standard of living just 12 hours flight from North America. Subic Bay is on the largest island named Luzon and was designed and built largely by the US Navy who called it home for nearly a century until their massive base closed in 1991.
What that means is superb infrastructure, well maintained roads, old-style houses with big yards, a reliable electricity plant, first-class telephone and high-speed internet services and even the country's only drinkable tap water. Still things keep getting better with a new superhighway linking Subic to the National Capitol, a multitude of Duty Free shops and entertainment venues, a new cargo ship terminal and even our own international airport.
Yet the environment has not suffered as in other places with lush primary jungle remaining throughout the Freeport, home to wild animal species surrounding a picturesque Bay full of marine life. Streets and public areas are among the cleanest in the nation with recycle bins and trash cans on every downtown street corner. The bay itself in much cleaner than people expect with clear waters that are a haven for scuba divers who flock here for some of the best shipwreck diving the world has to offer.
Security is rarely an issue thanks to our own Police Force, many of whom once served under the US Navy. Couple that with a well-equipped Fire Department, modern Western-style Paramedic Ambulance fleet and easily accessible Health Care Services you can relax knowing your personal safety and well being are in good hands.
Education in Subic is second to none with schools catering from pre-school up to Medical Universities and for those looking to continue observing traditional religious services, Subic has numerous churches openly serving your faith denomination.
Most importantly, the Philippines lower cost of living means you not only get more value for your initial investments but with day to day expenses far cheaper in our Tax-Free Zone your savings will buy more and last longer. Plus if you are aged 35 or above your residential property purchase or long-term lease allows you to take advantage of a Philippines Special Retirement Visa, granting legal immigration status without the need for expensive lawyers or yearly fees.
All this under an average temperature of 35C in the summer and 27C in the winter to keep you feeling warm and comfortable.
So if you're looking for a better place to live, a place to escape high taxes, raise a family, invest in a more profitable business or enjoy your retirement years it's clear that few places compare to Subic Bay.
