Because 30k pesos a month is cheaper than having AI take 160 hours of calls. AI is going to replace North American and European workers earning $30k–$80k a year way before it replaces Filipinos earning 400k pesos a year ($6,500). The reason is obvious.
Pollution is one reason. In some areas the traffic fumes are insane. Sometimes your nostrils get black gunk in no time. Also, there are so many people that illness spreads faster.
Only Filipino citizens pay the departure tax.
There's also an Elks club here, and it's very active.
Messenger and WhatsApp are free.
Religion itself is a franchise.
Bro, the Philippines is not a friendly country for people with ADHD... it has everything you hate. People walking super slowly, long lines, frustrating stuff everywhere. My advice... come and look around first.
Hi Casper! Welcome 😊 I'm a local from Coron, and here's what I'd recommend: Quiet beach life with young expat families: 🌴 Port Barton / San Vicente, Palawan - very quiet and lots of young families. Not crowded like El Nido 🌴 Dauin, Negros Oriental - lots of expat families, and it's near Dumaguete so there are international schools 🌴 Siquijor - super quiet, and the community of young expat families raising kids is growing 🌴 San Juan, La Union / Liwliwa, Zambales - not a city, it's a surf town, but it has a family vibe in the off-season Places to avoid if you want somewhere quiet: Boracay, El Nido town, Panglao, Siargao General Luna (they have a party/tourist vibe now) Coron is beautiful but very tourism-focused, so it's not a base for families living here long-term. Good luck with your decision! The Philippines is a great place for kids! 🙏
That's a good boy.
Forget the gender war... can we talk about the stupidity of some of those guys who kept their arms straight up and in the air even though the hoop was resting on their shoulders? 😂
Cool climate here in Antipolo Rizal ,but make sure you choose a quiet place or private subdivision , tricycles and motorcycles are number one noise pulluters here 2nd are videoke loving neighbors 3rd is teenagers roaming past curfew hours
Nakakatuwa yung accent nila. Sobrang neutral sounding saking. Prang yng mga Filipino films na halos puro tagalog lang. Di aggressive pakinggan di kagaya sa ngayon.
\- Constant brown outs outside major cities makes it impossible for digital nomads to work. No one wants to be stuck in Manila. \- Food is terrible. In the US people always say lets get some italian, chinese, thai, etc. I've NEVER heard anyone say lets get some filipino food. \- PH is not safe. Foreigners constantly get robbed and scammed and harassed. Scams happen elsewhere too but there are enough positives to make up for it. \- The poverty is depressing. How can anyone concentrate and work when there are starving naked kids running around begging for money? \- The only reason to come to the PH is for the women, but now Filipinas are getting fat like american women and guys are looking elsewhere.
