What do I need to know before moving to Alabang?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Alabang, they said...
"Alabang is a popular residential area for expats in the Philippines. It is located in the south of Metro Manila and is known for its modern infrastructure, shopping malls, and international schools. Expats should be aware that the cost of living in Alabang is higher than in other parts of the Philippines. Traffic can be a challenge in Alabang, so it is important to plan ahead and allow extra time for travel. Expats should also be aware that the weather in Alabang is hot and humid year-round. Finally, expats should be aware that English is widely spoken in Alabang, making it easier to communicate with locals," wrote a member who made the move to Alabang, Philippines.
