    My girlfriend rented a condo in Davao it was nice but they charged 4 pesos more per kw for the electric and the water was outrageous like 2500 pesos a month so anyone looking at the condos check the price of the utilities before you rent it

    One of the best kept secrets in the Philippines. We visited there a couple years ago and loved Davao city. The taxi drivers are honest and the jeepneys are small, but clean. It's also much safer than Manila and Cebu. We'll visit there again when we come back to the Philippines next month.

    I am curious about the nightlife in Davao. I don't expect to see anything like a walking street, where it is wall to wall bars and clubs, but dancing is my passion and my favorite hobby, and I would need to find a USA style of discotheque.
    is there anything like that there, or do they roll up the sidewalks at 9:00 at night?

    • @KennethPorio
      @KennethPorio 2 роки тому +2

      Night life is virtually laidback and nuanced compared to Manila and Cebu and, even other major cities in Mindanao like Cagayan de Oro or General Santos. It's much more of cafés and music lounges as nightlife such as you find in Damosa, Torres Street and Matina Town Square. There are bars and disco clubs here but are found in hole-in-the-wall places, not much out there. Not much excitement either since there are a handful of restrictions, like liquors not allowed to be served after 12am, or smoking and vaping banned inside establishments (with a designated smoking/vaping area outside), and loud noises not allowed in public areas after 10pm. I mean there are tons of civilian police roaming around. So the kind nightlife you want wont be around for you if you live in Davao City.

It's right across from Bobby's house. Fun, fun, fun. I have my tickets booked for June 6th. Looking forward to exploring Samar Island.

      Have fun Smoky . Davao is fun i stayed at the Seda hotel practically connected to Abreeza mall . Its very clean by comparison with other large cities. Davao by square footage is quite large actually. My 3 hour drive there from General Santos was some of the most beautiful scenery Philippines has to offer . Theres a small city just outside about an hour drive through beautiful country called Digos that I really liked .
      Mindanao cost of living is cheaper overall . I prefer Gen Santos with less traffic and an abundance of markets . Of course its the tuna capital and the drive down to Glan is breathtaking with highpoint areas to stop safely and take it all in . Gazillion Muslim mosques everywhere there obviously the religion of choice.
      Stay safe

    it's interesting that you describe the utilities in Davao as being ridiculously expensive, as they are everywhere in the Philippines.
    running your air conditioner for 8 hours a day in an 85 square meter house, along with your television and charging and other things, could run as high as $150 per month.
    I currently live in panama, and doing the exact same thing here can easily run $400 per month in electricity.

    You guys have to be careful, giving out “cost of living” advice for foreigners. Most foreigners/expats won’t be able to live immediately the same life as a local would, as they don’t have the experience needed to come even close to the low cost of living. I would therefore don’t try to lowball the costs. Where you guys think an apartment for $300 is expensive, the expat would probably spend in between 400 - 700 dollars a month. My point is, before you end up getting hate mail, because of what you had promised, I would rather estimate the cost of living much higher, only for the expats to be pleasantly surprised later if they do find a lower cost of living.

First of all, they believe their dollar goes such a long way that they suddenly believe they have become millionaires and, of course, spend accordingly. And second, because they feel suddenly quite rich, they wanna bring their western style of living to the Philippines. And as you know, a western lifestyle cost money no matter where you live.
