There is no
Veterans Affairs (
VA) Hospital in the Philippines, but, there is a VA regional office and
Clinic in
Manila:

I'm here with my buddy
Gary.
Gary played a combat role with the
US military and got a medical discharge and now he's in the Philippines.
The beauty of the situation for guys like Gary is that the US military takes real good care of you once you get here.
I'll let Gary explain a bit more.
"
Yeah, the VA here in the Philippines is pretty good... Full access to all the facilities in the
States for the most part. Prescriptions. Get your education. All those facilities are available to you here."
"They're located in Manila on Roxas Boulevard.
It's real easy to find."
Now, you're living in
Cebu so how's that work with the VA being in Manila?
"With the VA in manila, they'll pay for my flight to send me from Cebu to Manila, put me up in the hotel room overnight.
I go to the appointment, take care of business and they'll fly me back to Cebu. "
So basically, they're giving you money to live in the Philippines and they send you the checks, put the money in the bank
..?
"Yeah, that's exactly right. I have all my payments sent to my local
Filipino bank.
"So they're giving you money to live, they're giving you free meds, they're flying you in and out of Manila to get taken care of..."
"Conversely, the
IRS has just set up a branch office in Manila."

Many expats and
American veterans choose to retire in the Philippines.
Living in the Philippines is inexpensive and you can therefore retire here on a small nest egg.
Before you make the decision to live in the Philippines, however, take a trip to Manila and the surrounding islands to make sure the island lifestyle is a good fit for you.
Some expats decide that opening a business here is the lifestyle they'd like to lead. Some people can succeed building businesses in the Philippines, but it's not easy.
The government can get in your way and sometimes will take control of your property without warning.
If you do decide to start a business in the Philippines you will need to do your background research to make sure you don't get ripped off. When I opened my dive shop and resort in the Philippines I had more than one person try to steal it from me with a legal loophole.
