    Unfortunately, only foreigners find it cheap to live in the Philippines bc wages in the Philippines are quite low :(( that's why a lot of Filipino families have family members working abroad to live better lives bc you can never have that in the Philippines for a minimum wage. This is the reality for Filipinos.

    Pro Tip: treat the local nicely. If you are in the good mood, smile to them, do the reverse head nod thingy (I dont know what its called in english 😂) to the Male residents as a form of what's up.
    You'll be surprise with the occasional meals brought to your door (especially in close small community). Consider returning the favor as much as you can, maybe prepare a meal unique from your home town to keep it consistent.
    Not only you get a taste of fresh home cooked meals, it'll create a familial bond with your new neighbors which is always a good thing.

    Its dirt cheap if you're using basic foreign money to live in the Phils. Im also an expat and even an american earning $50k annually will live a comfortable life in the Phils. As a half filipino its nice as a vacation spot but if you really want the TRUE Philippine life then try to visit the poverty parts of the Philippines which is most of the country. Or try driving around quezon city, metro manila traffic. The bad part about these types of posts is they only show the tourist lifestyle(beach, vacation, trips, drinking, party) and not what REAL life is in this country.

    I'm glad you posted this clip. I am glad you all are having a great time and enjoying life. Much luv. Anyway let me inform people before they decide to live there without planning. Because they look at videos and clips like this. Yes, the Philippines is very affordable. A lot of expats move there. But you need to plan well prior to moving there. There are too many expats out there broke and homeless. They don't even have enough money to leave the country. All because they assumed it was very cheap. So they went out there with a certain amount of money thinking it was sufficient. Nope. Another thing he forgot to mention. You can't own a house unless you are married to a Filipino citizen. You can own a condo. However, it needs to be occupied by certain percentage of Filipinos. I know this because I'm married to a Filipina and I have two kids there. I'm glad they are promoting the Philippines. Majority of the places are beautiful. Most of the people are very kind. Most of the stuff out there are cheap. But not everything. In comparison to the US and other countries. Yes! If you decide to move there. Have a plan and enough money. You will definitely be fine with a pension. Enjoy the beautiful country.
    One last thing. Pretty much everything is in English. Most of the people speak English. It is taught in schools. It's one of the national languages. Although there are at least 180+ dialects spoken there.

Iloilo has got everything you would ever need to continue living the convenient western way of life that you have been comfortable with in your country.

    Just a reminder why things are cheap compared to the US is because of the unequal exchange rate. If you're earning a western income, even at minimum wage, you're pretty much set for life here. The same cannot be said for ordinary Filipino workers. We wish to have the same western income as you guys, but that would upset this delicate economy and cause prices to rise up quickly (as the last price hike wasn't bad enough)

Most of them now have star link. A few bought home house generators for those brown outs. They don't drink or smoke, so they stay out of the bars and the bs that goes on inside. They have happy content lives. Flying out next March. Also, depending on where you live ( if from USA) airfare will run between $1400-$3500 round trip.
