Is the cost of living in El Nido high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in El Nido, they wrote...

"The cost of living in El Nido is relatively low compared to Western countries. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is affordable, while outside the city center, it is even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water is also quite low. Groceries are inexpensive, with local markets offering fresh produce at very reasonable prices. Eating out at a restaurant is also quite affordable, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant costing very little. A three-course meal for two people at a mid-range restaurant is also reasonably priced. Transportation costs are also low in El Nido. A one-way ticket on local transport is cheap, and so is the starting tariff for a taxi. Gasoline prices are also lower than in many Western countries. Healthcare in El Nido is also affordable. A short visit to a private doctor costs very little, and over-the-counter medicine is also inexpensive. However, it's important to note that while the cost of living in El Nido is low, salaries are also generally lower than in Western countries. Therefore, the cost of living may seem higher for locals than for expatriates or tourists," wrote a member who made the move to El Nido, Philippines.
