What should I pack when moving to Iloilo City?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Iloilo City to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Iloilo City, it's essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as well as a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings or air-conditioned places. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes and flip-flops for the beach. Pack a good quality sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Bring your prescription medications and a basic first aid kit. It's also recommended to pack toiletries, as some specific brands might not be available locally. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or condiments that may not be available in the Philippines. Pack your important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. Also, bring copies of these documents and keep them separate from the originals for safety. Don't forget your electronics like your phone, laptop, and their chargers. An international power adapter might also be necessary. Lastly, pack some items that remind you of home. This could be photos, a favorite book, or comfort food. These items can help you feel more comfortable and settled in your new home," remarked another expat who made the move to Iloilo City, Philippines.
