Looking for a nice rural province

11 years ago
Hello,
My fiance and I are looking for a nice rural province to call home there in Philippines. She is from Davao City in Mindanao. We went there together to see her family in November 2012, and for me, there are waay to many people there for my likes. I am from a town of 9,000 population in rural Kentucky, USA. I've asked my fiance about this and she really is not sure of locations there in Philippines.

I am looking for a similar land to that of Kentucky's. I am looking for a house, with land enough to farm vegetables and fruits, in a nice rural province that is safe. I heard many of the rural provinces in Mindanao are not safe... She said that she has family who lives in a town called Mabini there Mindanao. She said there is a population of less than 1,000 there. Shes been there before as a child and really knows nothing more about it.

I am looking for a rural province, about 30 minutes to 1 hour away from a city... nice and safe for my fiance and I... where i can farm vegetables and fruits in peace. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe close to Cebu? Any information would be greatly appreciated.


Mike B.
