Alabang Ladies International Group

New to Alabang?

Welcome! Settling into your new home in the Philippines will take some time, but like most things it is infinitely easier when you can pick the brains of people who have "been there, done that."

ALIG is one of the best sources of information you can access when moving to Alabang. 

If you are wondering how to order bottled water, get your internet installed, find household help, buy a car, choose a school or if you just need to see some friendly faces, then you need to come to one of our newcomers coffee mornings.

The morning is held in a member's home in Ayala Alabang village.  It is very informal and it is the best  place to bring your list of questions, no matter how trivial and get some settling in tips.

The coffee mornings are free, General Meetings cost P200.  If you join ALIG at the meeting that General Meeting is free of charge.

ARRIVAL SURVIVAL:  sponsored by the Union Church of Manila

What’s what and where can you find it in Manila? ARRIVAL SURVIVAL has the answers to these and many other questions. This indispensable guide is not only for those newly arrived in Manila, it’s also for those who have lived here for a while and who may have missed something! Packed with useful information, humorous anecdotes, helpful hints, detailed lists, and recommended websites, this handbook is sure to help all expatriates cope with every-day life here.

ARRIVAL SURVIVAL has been updated for the Manila of today from its former title, the Hospitality International Guidebook, published frequently by the Union Church of Manila over the past 20 years.

Laugh and learn with us as you discover how “Yes” can mean so much more than “Yes”, how size matters (you may suddenly become an extra large alien) or how your helper may not always do things the way you would do them (DVDs arranged by color).

Read about time-saving tips, clues on climate, coping with critters and how to achieve domestic bliss (not the marital kind!), written by a team of people with a wealth of experience accumulated during their years in the Philippines.

Find the ARRIVAL SURVIVAL newcomer’s handbook on sale at any ALIG Newcomer's Coffee Morning in Alabang or contact us to find out how you can get your hands on a copy.

Only P500.
