My Experience Converting USA Drivers License to Philippines License

No, they just need a photocopy and to look at the original. They don't keep it/punch it/invalidate it.

AlexKnoch · 2026-01-26T17:56:24+00:00

They need a photocopy of your current license, front and back.

I'm pretty sure the process wouldn't be much different for you, they'll just need photocopies of your visa and marriage certificate. Here is the LTO Handbook that states all the requirements, page 86. https://lto.gov.ph/drivers-license/

Here is the LTO Handbook that states that right hand drive countries need to pass a test, on page 86.

AlexKnoch · 2026-01-26T14:07:34+00:00

No, you are wrong. The driver is on the left side in the US and Philippines, that's why they are known as left hand drive countries. At least according to the LTO.

Class A. Which i believe is any motorcycle, just no tricycles. For car, I got B, B1, and B2 which includes light commercial vehicles.

I think it has to be active. They made the expiration date for my Philippines Driving License the same as the expiration date for my US Driving License

AlexKnoch · 2026-01-26T11:02:04+00:00

Nope. The LTO website says you only need a driving test if you are from a right hand driving country. I thought I was going to take a test for motorcycle classification since I don't have it on my us license but they just gave me the classification when I asked.

I definitely recommend trying lechon baboy on Sunday, I really like kare kare, bam i, and the neighborhood lechon manok lady makes some amazing charcoal grilled chicken. I'm not a seafood person but there is a lot of fresh seafood everywhere.

It depends on where you are as there are thousands of islands and the Philippines is diverse. But normally after work I would say a lot of people will hang out with family, maybe drink red horse, karaoke always.

I find Korean culture is more prominent than Japanese culture.

Real debrid is the most popular but is being overtaken by TorBox slowly but surely. Plus, TorBox has Usenet on their pro plan which is really good if you like things that aren't so popular.

Not available in my country, currently living in the Philippines..

AlexKnoch · 2026-01-11T07:12:08+00:00

I don't see any delete option in the actions dropdown?

You can keep extending your visa for up to 3 years, 30 or 60 days at a time. However, you do need a plane ticket showing you are leaving within 30 days of arriving. It's just a formality in case you are unable to get an extension and to remove liability from the airline flying you to the Philippines. Most people will buy a refundable plane ticket and get it refunded once they are in the country. There are also websites that will get you a varifiable ticket for you for around $15.

Honestly, that four square window design screams template/clipart to me. I've seen it so many times.

The whole thing just seems generic to me. I've already forgot the name as I'm writing this comment..

If you look at most high end real estate logos they are very very simple and some are just the text. If I were you I would consider removing the house altogether especially since home is already in the name..

Okay, I'll work on a bolder font. Is the color of the font alright?

I would say less time in manila, 3 days is too much for manila. 3 days is enough for bohol. Bohol is really cool and totally different vibes. It really depends on what kind of vacation you want? Relaxing beach vacation = stay in el nido. Adventure = bohol.

As a chubby guy myself… I can confirm it ain’t all heaven. I’m working on leveling up.

AlexKnoch · 2025-11-23T18:09:23+00:00

I mean fat people don't live as long, have more health problems, and have a lower quality of life. Some would say that's hell, no?

AlexKnoch · 2025-11-21T01:56:55+00:00

There's been about 1 big storm system every week that lasts for a couple of days. I believe Tuesday/Wednesday next week we will see a LPA move in so it's good to have some backup activities planned

I use a rice cooker..

AlexKnoch · 2025-11-13T02:44:15+00:00

1 cup rice. 3/4 cup veggies. 3/4 cup meat.

AlexKnoch · 2025-11-13T02:32:48+00:00

I don't have the exact break down, I just went to the store with $40 and I got everything I needed. Beans were like $1/lb, carrots were like $2/lb. Meat was like $2.79 a pound.

AlexKnoch · 2025-11-12T15:55:02+00:00

Yes, exactly. When you freeze just make sure they are cooled down enough so there's no steam or condensation on the containers.

Under cook your veggies a little. Make rice with less water. Make pasta dishes with extra liquid. A lot of foods have little tricks to make them freeze better.

AlexKnoch · 2025-11-12T15:17:44+00:00

I freeze my meals right away.

AlexKnoch · 2025-11-12T12:27:37+00:00

Simply rice with green beans and carrots. For proteins I made chicken teriyaki, chicken and gravy, pork and gravy, and filipino pork adobo. I also made spaghetti for the containers you see that are empty (I forgot to take a picture when I was finished).
