Why do people move to Philippines?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Philippines, they responded...
"Foreigners mainly DO NOT move to Manila. It's crowded, dirty, crime is high, and more expensive than any other area to live in. Negros, and Cebu is the main areas now. They are building up, more and better services, great hospitals, great doctors, and lower prices on everything. Don't fall for Manila or country thing unless you are from the country," explained one expat living in Philippines.
