"Life for expats and digital nomads in Bacolod City is generally comfortable and affordable. The city offers a relaxed lifestyle with a low cost of living, making it an attractive destination for those who work remotely. The local community is friendly and welcoming, with English widely spoken, making it easier for foreigners to communicate and integrate. Bacolod City is known for its vibrant food scene, with a wide variety of local and international cuisines available. The city also has a rich cultural heritage, with numerous festivals and events throughout the year that expats can enjoy. For digital nomads, the city offers reliable internet connectivity, with numerous co-working spaces and cafes providing suitable work environments. The city is also relatively safe, with a low crime rate compared to other cities in the Philippines. Despite its urban amenities, Bacolod City is also close to nature, with beautiful beaches and mountains nearby for weekend getaways. The city's healthcare facilities are decent, with a number of hospitals and clinics available for medical needs. However, expats may face challenges such as the hot and humid climate, and occasional power outages. Traffic can also be a problem, especially during peak hours. Despite these challenges, many expats and digital nomads find living in Bacolod City a rewarding and enjoyable experience," wrote a member who made the move to Bacolod City, Philippines.
