The best Ex-pat Blog in Northern Mindanao

I would say Jil used to have “the best ex-pat blog in CdO”, but Jil recently and permanently moved to Jasaan and only makes it into CdO once a week or so, so he’s really not perfectly qualified to be called the best ex-pat blogger in CdO.  Perhaps that title still belongs to me despite the fact that my Alexa ranking went from 175,000 or so to 1.3 M since I haven’t posted much of anything original since last year.

I know Jil because while he’s from New York, he’s been living in Asia for the past six years or so with the first five of those years in Thailand.  He heard that Filipinas were much more caring and ended up making contact with a beautiful lass from Jasaan.  In trying to research the Philippines, Jasaan, and Cagayan de Oro (the closest city with anything like a movie theater or McDonalds) he happened upon my own blog and we began corresponding.

My blog has taken a nose-dive, mostly because I have failed to keep it updated on a regular basis, and because of that I would like to turn my readers attention to the best authored ex-pat blog in Northern Mindanao, Jil Wrinkle’s Blog itelf.  I find I spend more time reading his blog then even contemplating new posts for my own.

Jil tells it like it is, and I’m proud to see someone, a foreigner, speak out as he does, even if I don’t agree with everything he says.  However, his English is outstanding and his blog is a delight to read even if I don’t care to hear about birds knocking themselves out on the windows of his jungle perch.

Keep it up, Jil! Welcome to the Philippines and don’t let anyone scare you.  I got your back.
