How do three important factors compare to other parts of The Philippines?
1. Weather
2. Cost of Living and land/Property/Rental Prices
3. Safety and Security.

Thank you.

Something cold and near mountains-Baguio (strawberries)

If you're more on beautiful beaches. Cebu (mangoes, roasted pig, & dried fish!) and Palawan (have lots of cashew nuts) are the best! Cebu is more urban though.

Urban-rural - Davao City (delicious fruits too such as durian and marang)

Rural country side- Bukidnon (pineapples and fresh cow milk)

For sure there are many-many great places to live here. We are about a two hour drive North of Manila and living a very rural area about 10km from Angeles City. Far enough to be out of the traffic and rush but still close enough to go the the malls and restaurants etc. We've been here almost 15 years now and still love the area. Just pays to explore a bit before settling into any given area.

Hello,

Me and my boyfriend are going to move to Palawan. We both work online, so we need internet and of course we want to rent a nice place with facilities. Do you recommend something?

Thanks

Sorry, no idea of places to rent there. Best to get a hotel for a few days and just hit the streets in a cab and ask around.
For working online you will need to get connections with two different providers as internet is not reliable here in any way. A generator is needed for work as power can go out for hours at a time without notice or reason.

Hi, I have lived and traveled all over the Philippines for 7 years.

For safety...Subic Bay Freeport Zone

For best weather...Tagaytay

For girls...Cebu

For beach living...Panglao

For bars and party...Angeles City

If you have a need for the luxuries of home, I would say Davao is the best place to live especially if you drive. Wide roads, places to park, so much better than Manila or Cebu. If you would like to be close to everything and like to walk, Legaspi Village in Makati can't be beaten.

Other than that I would go to a place such as Iloilo City or Bacolod City as the best medium-size cities.

A couple of smaller places that are nice are Subic Bay Freeport Zone, in the Olongapo area and Valencia in the Dumaguete area.

If you want to live a simple, low-cost life and don't need or care about many luxuries, then there are beautiful small towns in the provinces all over the Philippines. Men usually choose this option if they have a Filipina wife and they enjoy living by her family sometimes on the same land next door.

Hi.聽 I am seriously considering moving to Puerto Prinsea to be able to live in Palawan due to being such beautiful island and I am a beach person.聽 Was hoping I could stay in touch with you as I move foward. I am now planning my move next April 1, 2020.聽 My email is *** and right now my biggest need is rental properties on long term lease and need $10-15php per month.聽 Is that possible?聽 Can you buy a condo there for around 50sqm for 3-5 million php.聽 Any guide such if you know a good real estate firm or folks that have rental properties would be a great help.聽 How are hospital there and my main concern is don't want to buy a car want to get by on tricyle or cabs.聽 Any advice and friendly thoughts most welcom.

Google sport, and then google again, though idilic, contains all the furry bits. 7,000 plus Islands one of which you can buy.

Well regardless of this topic/thread "Best cities to live in the Philippines" I would suggest that with due diligence and some boots on the ground we all eventually or no find our stomping ground/way forward. Get out there and get you hands dirty, savour the flavours, and I always say time tells and reveals all. The Phillipines will/can be a revelation or a bane, all will find their way, good/bad, sad but true.

I want to tell members here, something I have been stewing on for months, as I have seen nothing, no recognition nor words for the passing of a contributor to this fine forum , a mediocre man and then some but contributed聽 here and plenty of other sites and most times wise with an opinion but always humble until he raised his stick, our friend Navajo52 departed some months ago, was a well respected moderator on other sites, also who contributed here and would have boldly/wisely contributed.

Lest we forget a forger, though opinionated wise beyond times, those that know him please offer respect for his years of contributions here and other expat sites, to his family if ever they read? Viol and siblings I learn't plenty from Gene as many did, may God rest his humble life and soul. Pointing聽 us in directions of best places to live simply came back to family and friends and then some, a wise and kind man offering his take on this and many topics.

Cheers Steve.

Thanks Steve for bringing up Gene's (Navajo52) passing - he was wise, candid and helpful to many here and your eloquent words say it better than I could. He helped me on more than one occasion and as you say, his family was everything to him. I miss him. Rest in peace, Gene and blessings to Viol and the family.

Welcome to the forum Shaz, do hope you enjoy and contribute, perhaps introduce yourself within聽 the introductory section within this forum or prattle on here as we tend to do.
San Gabriel is next door to us in Bacnotan (west) and yes a great part of the Fills to live/retire to.

Cheers, Steve.
