    Possibly the most aesthetically stunning landscape of any country on earth. Plus they are quickly developing and becoming the back office of the world so Manila is revamping and modernizing at a rapid rate. There are satellite corporate neighborhoods cropping up all the time and all of the major US, Japanese, Korean and European corporations are moving in for the cheap labor. Filipinos are getting richer and richer each year.

    You can live in or just outside any Philippine city with the mountains, the beach, or the waterfalls that are just a few hours drive away. Always ask the locals what the best places or destinations nearby are. If you have a local to help translate or negotiate prices with you, you can probably avoid the so-called "foreigner tax" (add-on higher prices).

    Expenses in the country will largely depend on one's lifestyle, what you do, where you stay and eat. Makati is more expensive than other cities. You could spend $10 or more for a meal or $1. Locals usually go to carinderias where food is generally cheaper.

    Everything in the Philippines are growing so fast, 5-10 years from now it cannot be recognize. They are building numerous public and private infrastructures which is visible everywhere. Tourism Industry is also growing so fast , foreign companies buildings are popping up in every corner of major cities. Some are still poor & living in poverty , but trust me if the country will continue growing at the same level as today, poverty will gone easily.

      Yes, Metro Manila has MRT and LRT.
      But the first Metro Manila subway is under construction right now. The 54 km full underground metro will have stations in BGC, Makati, Ortigas Central Business Districts and many strategic places all the way to airport. In few years, the landscape of Metro Manila will improve.
      The Metro Manila Skyway (elevated toll way) is a 36 kilometer road from airport with many exit points (now operational). TrAveling within the capital has greatly improved in the last few years. Imagine, it used to be 2 hour by car from airport to Quezon City but now, it is a quick 30 minutes. If you want to go to huge casino resorts at Entertainment City, just get a Grab car from Makati and in 15 minutes, you will arrive there. Without the elevated skyway, it takes 45 minutes. Toll fee is cheap.

    I was supposed to stay at the Beacon Makati but they wanted cash payment and wouldn’t accept payment via Agoda so I cancelled and stayed Airbnb at BGC instead. Makati and BGC are kind of expat islands in Manila. Once you move out of these areas things are a little more chaotic especially trying to get around. I used taxis most of the time and they were always good. The food is good (at near western prices). Never tried any street food as it looks a bit risky. Whole fruit is OK at street vendors.

    We do not have much to offer like where you came from. Do not expect high tech transport and automatic gadgets. Just enjoy the things we can afford to give you. Have a wonderful stay.
