What do I need to know before moving to Cebu?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Cebu, they said...

"Before moving to Cebu, expats should be aware of the tropical climate and the rainy season. It is important to research the cost of living in Cebu, as well as the availability of housing and transportation. Expats should also be aware of the local culture and customs, and be prepared to learn the local language, Cebuano. Additionally, expats should research the healthcare system and the availability of medical services in Cebu. Finally, expats should be aware of the safety and security situation in Cebu, and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety," remarked another expat who made the move to Cebu, Philippines.

"I lived in Cebu, Quoit Pardo for a few years off and on. Great people but just too much traffic, I have moved up north to Danao. Everything you need here, or a cheap air conditioned bus ride to Cebu City if you need any of the Government Departments. A good immigration office and plenty of banking facilities available, if you get a private car. Make sure you have somewhere to park, because that can be a problem. For accommodation DO NOT BUY, just rent. There are plenty of condos, houses or rooms at a good price," explained one expat living in Cebu, Philippines.
