"Expats in Puerto Princesa City may find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as the majority of the population speaks Tagalog or Cuyonon. The slower pace of life, which is typical in many island communities, can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. The high level of humidity and heat can be difficult for those not used to tropical climates. Additionally, the local cuisine, which heavily features seafood and rice, may be a challenge for those with different dietary preferences or restrictions. Lastly, navigating the local bureaucracy can be challenging due to different procedures and sometimes slower processing times," remarked another expat in Puerto Princesa City, Philippines.
