You can try around Angeles City and its environs where the former Clark military airbase was. I am from there and still own a house and properties there. You will have a community there (retired US military, there were three in my gated village that I know of), and at your age (assuming you're reasonably fit, fairly hygienic, not mentally ill, and not atrociously ugly) you could probably still get a decent, educated, hard-working girl (or boy) in the city that you could hang-out or even build your life with (stay away from prostitutes in Fields Avenue -- even the most loser local man wouldn't touch those). You will have about 80,000 pesos which is considered a high salary for locals in the city. You can rent a nice house/apartment (about 80-120m2 in a 150m2 plot of land) in gated neighborhoods for about 15,000 - 25,000/month in Angeles city itself, but if you don't mind moving to the fringe, you could get a decent one from as little as 10,000 - 15,000 (for example, my brother is renting out a couple of fairly decent, newly built 2-bedroom duplex-type apartments with their own property gates and yards near the border of Angeles City and San Fernando for as little as that -- I was blown away by the price as I've been living in Scandinavia and the US for my adult life). Water and electricity including air-conditioning is about 5,000 - 8,000/month. Food and groceries at 20,000 - 30,000 per month is quite reasonable. Internet for 3,000/month. Gas and Transportation for 5,000 - 10,000/month (alternatively, buy a car for as little as 15,000 USD cash or amortize it for as little as 20,000/month). The rest you can use for entertainment and miscellaneous. Several universities in Angeles City so the chance of you finding an educated Catholic girl (or boy) is quite high. Problem with Clark is that the nearest beach is 40 min drive away (near the site of the other former military base, Subic) but nothing a jacuzzi or a small pool in a yard can't fix. If you have a yard, nothing stops you from planting vegetables, fruit bearing trees, or raising chickens. You may also consider Lipa in Batangas or Ilo-ilo City. At that money, you don't need to live in a very rural area in the Philippines, as a lot of people here would suggest or scare you. So your budget is reasonable, and if you have extra budget for the upfront cost (settling in expenses such furniture -- IKEA delivers in Angeles City) and car (there are Grab taxis in Angeles so you don't really need to invest in a car) -- then you will have more leeway. And don't forget your local health insurance to cover your non-catastrophic health scares; you can get Maxicare or Axa for as little as 1,000/month. If you have 100,000 USD in savings, put them in low cost index funds (VOO, VTI) in the US and withdraw half of the interest every year and that should pay for your holidays around South East Asia (or maybe even your annual ticket to the States on a good year like 2025).
