A friend of mine, told me before that he loves living in the PI. "If" you have money. I dunno if you are a Caucasian etc but think twice before moving in PI. Reasons:
1. When you're a Caucasian or any other foreign race, your taxi fare always get doubled LoL, funny but true... most of the time taxi will not use their meters when you ride the cab and just give you expensive price.
2. Going out of town - will double or triple your cost coz the "most" (im not saying all) natives see you as walking $$$$$
3. Security: foreigners are "more likely" to be mugged and robbed in public areas especially bars and discos. Dont night party alone... it's prudent to always have a Filipino guide or chaperone. (true, i once saw a 60 yr old white man dying in a hospital due to multiple stab wounds)
And here's the nice part
1. Most chicks are hot!
2. Almost everybody speaks English
3. All street signs, or everything you see on the streets are written in english
4. Nice Beaches and bitches are usually in the same location ;)
5. Everything is cheap as long as you know how to bargain
