Living in the Philippines
Sometimes known as the “Pearl of the Orient,” this tropical country is a vast archipelago of over 7,000 islands. It is no surprise, then, that the country is especially renowned for its stellar beaches and diving. However, for many foreign residents, the most enjoyable aspect of living in the Philippines is the people themselves – Filipinos are renowned for their culture of cheerful optimism.
The Philippines’ two major urban centers are Manila (the capital) and the southern city of Cebu, located on the island of the same name. Though residents of Manila deal with crowds and traffic, they are rewarded with the diversity of options in food, nightlife, and daily activities. The cost of living in the Philippines is much lower than that of Western countries.
