IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to ongoing issues with a third‑party,
we are currently exploring options to migrate this site
to an alternative hosting service.
Our aim is to ensure this transition is as seamless as possible, with no
interruption to availability.
While we do not anticipate significant downtime, there is a small possibility of a brief outage during the migration process.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we will work to keep any disruption to an absolute minimum.
Our Apologies to our viewers.
RE: AFAM Manyak
As we have received a Defamation Claim from this YouTuber
Which we are strenuously defending.
The information on his page has been placed on hold until we have been contacted directly by Fanur Kitikov as per our agreement with our hosting providers.
Should Fanur Kitikov fail to contact us within a reasonable time, we shall reinstate this page

UPDATE
Today is the 6th February 2026, as of this date, inspite several emails being sent, this person has not contacted us but has gone directly to our hosting provider to have this site shut down.
After consultation with our Attorneys, we are advised that we have no case to answer in this matter and now await the next move by the Hosting provider or the complainant.
We shall keep you advised of any further developments

Expats Forums Website Future and Update
We’re Back and Ready to Rebuild
After more than 12 months on pause, we’re excited to announce that this website is back under its original stewardship.
This hiatus was due to health challenges faced by one of our core team members, the person who kept this site thriving for so long.
We tried handing the whole site over to a third party with high hopes, but unfortunately, those promises that were made by them didn’t materialize.
Following many discussions, ranging from leaving the site as-is, to shutting it down entirely, we’ve decided to take it back and keep it going.
With the support of some very close friends who will be helping us with research, content, and technical updates, we’re rolling up our sleeves and diving in head first.
What’s Next
– Firstly we will be revisiting every topic on the site and will endeavour to update or remove outdated content.
– As you may appreciate, This will take time and effort, so while we undertake all this, we ask for your patience and understanding.
– If you spot errors, outdated info, broken links or have suggestions to improve this site, you can help us as we’d love to hear from you as constructive critique is welcomed.
Looking Ahead
We’re also considering expanding our coverage beyond the Philippines to include the entire Southeast Asia region.
That’s a future goal, but for now, we’re focused on rebuilding what we have.
So, now, it’s all hands-on deck, and we invite you to keep visiting what we hope remains the most comprehensive website of its kind.
Thankyou for your interest and Support
The Expats Team
