Overall, currently Phi, is still a great short term vacation place and very affordable for foreigners.
RATING: 14 Stars
Long-Term Living in the Philippines, has been gotten over the last years overall more difficult...
RATING: 3 Stars
NOTE:
If you need to use local 'Motor-Cab' or 'Habal-Habal' (Motorbike Driver), then ASK 1st locals about the fair prices, as all over the place MOST drivers try to take advantage and charge often double and even 400% more then the normal price would be.
AVOID to Over-TIP
Remember average income from a normal Pinoy worker for 8 Hrs. is +- 350 to 450 Peso, pending on the Area.
YES! Please give a TIP !
BUT keep in mind that 100 Peso is already a very good TIP !
WARNING
IF You plan to drive yourself, regardless if you using a Car, Motorbike...
Driving on Philippines ROADs is very dangerous... as sad to say Pinoys pass on the right and left, turn without signal.
NOTE:
Many accidents are caused by dogs and even chicken crossing the road...
DRIVE SLOW...
and Enjoy the Philippines !
