Re Thomas; Trying to survive in Manila on US $669.00 a month would be
next to impossible. Compound that with the age, 80, the health conditions,
and he is looking for nothing but a serious struggle. At one time almost
anything was possible here, but not now. I believe he would even have a
serious problem living in one of the out lying provinces on that amount.
