Probably a good idea to not set up shop with the family, you will find Cebu even hotter and more humid.聽 Best of luck in your relocation.

So your suggestion is to not move to cebu because it's hot?

I have never been to Cebu, so I am not sure if language will be a problem for your wife speaking Tagalog.聽 Perhaps others already there could help on that topic.

I would like to help you bro but tell me your preferences and your ideal environment so i could give you a good recommendation

Cebu has the advantage of being (much) cheaper than NCR. (it has cool mountains also actually). The temp in the City is 3c degrees cooler than Metro Manila, but still 10-15c higher than in the surrounding subs (subs are towns outside of the Metro Cebu area, and I mean 20 km outside or mountainside)
Thats why I moved to the other side, about 1 hr drive.
My suggestion, come over for聽 period, but travel first and light to check around. In the end your wife will most likely wanted to stay near her family and there is nothing you can do about.
Indiscreet Questions
Have you ever been here ? (In the Philippines or Cebu?)

yes Cebu or other areas better than Manila you will not聽 like聽 the聽 VA there, you can get medications but anything聽 else not so good, long wait for appointments, and聽 if you need major medical you will have聽 to go to Guam, go look first don't commit

i have聽 been to the聽 VA in Manila, and聽 friends聽 of聽 mine聽 go there now, see what聽 kind of care you will get there, the聽 VA in Guam is聽 a聽 nice clinic a friend聽 of聽 mine聽 had hip replacement there a few months聽 ago, if聽 you think the聽 VA in Manila聽 is聽 better than Guam Son you need to check it out, by the聽 way i have聽 been coming聽 to the聽 Philippines聽 first in 1964 and聽 have聽 lived聽 here for聽 12聽 years

As far as to my knowledge from 2 (US) Vet's living nearby, there are a number of (VA) accredited Hospitals in Cebu City, among them the two Top Hospitals, which are really good enough.(Cebu Doctors and Chong Hua, which are actually both "department" Hospitals, where on can choose his specialist from outside and the Hospital just provides the OP, Rooms, etc.. mening, the Doc's just rents the OP and facilities.
The offices of those specialists, which are at the same time shareholders of the respectice hospital are often located outside nearby.
So much for the "System", make your own mind up about it.
(The most important factor is, that the Doc's are shareholders and not employees.)
But one thing is probably important to bear in mind, treat your Doc always nice, as you can't complain anywhere and change them as you may think. So keep your eventual grumpyness and big mouth in check and be nice. (sounds like a weird advice , but some expats think, they own the country and behave like that. Logically they will not be treated well.)
Of course one can always compare those to Top Hospitals in "wherevertheworld", but in reality, if one looks behind the nice lobby scenery, one gets exactly what one pays for.(or his Insurance/Provider)
Veterans are ( and that is very sad ! ) rather on the bottom of the "Pay List", so one should evaluate carefully how much care he (will) need(s).

If it is a lot, maybe the developing world is not such a good choice to live.

Last but not least - Check with the VA BEFORE you move, which and what is licensed.

All outside聽 medical treatment聽 must聽 be聽 approved by the聽 VA and聽 it聽 must be聽 service connected, anything聽 else you are聽 responsible and usually before聽 treatment , if聽 you have serious聽 medical issues you do not聽 need to be聽 in the聽 Philippines, it聽 is聽 not聽 a聽 nice聽 place聽 to die, not聽 much pain medication, and聽 your family must聽 take聽 care聽 of聽 you, and聽 the聽 cost could聽 be聽 expensive and has聽 to be聽 paid聽 before聽 your聽 body is聽 released, the聽 VA or聽 US Government聽 will not聽 help you with the聽 cost, i have聽 heard聽 of Funeral homes聽 charging up to $8,000 to deliver聽 the聽 body to the聽 USA
