Philippines NOT a retirement heaven?

I came across an article on Forbes which lists 10 retirement heaven.

I was not entirely surprised that Philippines didn't make the list, but I was somewhat surprised that Malaysia and Thailand made the list.

Here's what Forbes has to say about it:
Thailand

Warmly welcoming of retirees and ideal for seniors on modest budgets, Thailand has everything from bungalows on Phuket's blue lagoons to urban living in bustling Bangkok. Considered Asia's best buy for quality health care at reasonable costs. But the good private hospitals are in Bangkok, so make sure your retreat on the water is within three hours of the capital.

Downside: unpredictable politics.

Malaysia

Extreme cheek piercings at religious festival

Forget about Footy, Tennis or The Qube..

What we really need is a festival in Doha....

How about something like this extreme cheek piercing vegetarian festival in Phuket, Thailand

The festival runs for ten days and involves nine street processions featuring devotees who pierce their bodies with an assortment of weapons and implements

The festival has Chinese origins and is held during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar and is believed to cleanse the body
