A New Life in the Philippines

When Terence arrived in Asia for the first time as a single man, in February, 2010, and met an intoxicating stream of attractive girls he explicitly told each of them two things: that he had no plans to get married and certainly did not intend to have any children.

Divorced many years before and well on his way to 70, he was adamant that he did not want to deal with either of these encumbrances in the future. He was in Thailand first and then in the Philippines merely to let his hair down. To have fun, nothing serious.

Five years later, after travelling around much of the two countries, he was happily married to one of the dazzling Filipinas he had accidentally met and father to an equally dazzling baby boy.
A Child @70 describes Terence's radical transition from exhausted Western divorcee to excited Filipinophile enjoying himself with a fresh appreciation for marriage, fatherhood and life in general in the heart of a chaotic, emerging nation.

The book also gives a great deal of useful information on tourist opportunities in the Philippines and guide details to the dozens of islands that Terence visited.
