    I've been hoping to hear your take on Iloilo City - great report per usual - it looks like a nice option for a long term visit or even retirement. Very clean and orderly, reasonable costs too (not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either). Been to Manila for a week, there's just "too much happening" for my taste, much prefer Cebu instead as I've spent nearly a month there. Next visit I hope to see Iloilo for at least a week if not longer. Limited vaca time from work holds me back from extended stays :-(

Great beach’s great diving and snorkeling it’s worth the visit few tourists. Binicot beach, Looc fish sanctuary, Turtle cove, the Blue Hole, BonBon Beach. I could go on and on but trust me lots to do great restaurants affordable prices for food and lodging and 40 min or less pump boat ride to Boracay. Same sand cleaner water and few tourists. If you have time stop and visit. 8 hours from IloIlo by bus and ferry.

      if you're into nature and mountain and hiking, then Baguio is the place for you. its a diverse city, educ town since majority of population here are college students but most of all; it's the weather that keeps people coming back here. aberage temp all year round is 19-21 degrees celcius. at night, it would fall to 14 degrees celcius and Baguio is a walkable city. you cam their Baguio series as well. But id youre into Beach, then Dumaguete is the rifht place for you.

    Maybe it is just me but from photos of apartments and pricing the Philippines is actually very high priced relative to other se Asian countries. I look at the beds, furniture bathrooms and kitchens and everything is super cheap and very uncomfortable looking unless you are a backpacker. I just wish there were better options. The few decent places I found had rents around 1500-2000 dollars. I have lived all over in se Asia and this is a real shortcoming in my mind. I hope that I am wrong. In other se Asian countries comfortable modern units are around 700-1200 dollars. I find the Philippines as a trap. Easy to get a retirement visa but not really a great place to live and not really at a great price.

    How much tax or VAT on alcohol? Any tax on groceries?

      @franklynbasa2122 10 місяців тому

      Grocery prices is inclusive of tax already, so no extra charges upon checkout. As for restaurants, some do charge vat/sales tax(12%) but it won't cost an arm and a leg. Lastly, tipping in the PHILIPPINES is optional unlike in the US, if only looks could kill😂😂😂 literally HAHAHA..

    I'd like to see most of the expats go '''there''' - or continue in Cebu or Dumaguete and forget all about Tagaytay so it will keep the costs down where I would rather be. -?- The weather is much more comfortable to me with all the humidity in the Philippines. > Expats drive up the prices wherever they migrate to. --- I'm frugal and prefer cheap ! --- They have done a very good job improving and developing the infrastructure in Ilo Ilo and it will attract many.

    No health or travel insurance?

    • @VagabondAwake
      @VagabondAwake  5 місяців тому

      Great question @Will67267, Not at the time. I have since bought some. I have one report where I explain what I do about health care and another where I show you how I search for health insurance, and a third report sharing which one I decided to finally buy.
      What I do about health care: vagabondbuddha.com/two-biggest-risks-of-retiring-early-overseas/
      Report where I search for health insurance: vagabondbuddha.com/best-health-insurance-for-ex-pats-in-philippines/
      Here is the Health Insurance I bought (and scams to avoid): ua-cam.com/video/0leF_BCLVKw/v-deo.html
      By the way, once you search for health care you will start seeing more offers for health insurance and travelers insurance when you are online. Health insurance is one of the most dynamic or changing industries in the travel world because so many people around the world are deciding to live or retire outside their home country. So do a search every year before you renew to make sure you have the best available for your personal circumstances because new ones come out every few months. Thanks for asking so I could answer this for many people! Dan

      Baguio is the safest and cleanest city in the Philippines. Been to Iloilo and yes it's also clean but its only clean in some business areas and not the whole illilo city whereas when i stayed in Baguio, its very clean esp in residential areas. its like some villages in Korea or in Japan. Thats the very firet thing i noticed in Baguio; its their clranliness its not very common in some cities in the philippines.
