About Paul

My name is Paul and I am an Englishman who migrated to Australia in 1985. I subsequently fell in love with a Filipina and decided to make Cebu my permanent home in 2007. I keep close links with the Cebu expatriate community and have many wonderful friends, but I enjoy living amongst the local Filipino community as it helps me understand the culture much better. I love my life in Cebu, mostly because of my wonderful wife Elsa.

Although trained as a lawyer, I never practiced and spent most of my working career as a Sales Manager, which is where most people who can't sell end up!

I am not fluent in Cebuano/Bisayan, the local language, but have a good, basic understanding of it and can most times make myself understood. I make it a point to learn new words and phrases every day. My wife assists me with the business and is a great asset.

I am honest and believe that my integrity is worth more to me than any short term financial gain. I list among my good friends many Filipinos and Westerners from various walks of life, who I am sure will vouch for me..
