Palawan usually isn't affected much by typhoons. That doesn't mean they never come. Palawan also gets a lot more rain than other places, so that's something else to consider. If you live on the western side of the Philippines, you're generally sheltered from typhoons. I'm not saying you won't get them, just that they're not nearly as bad as on the east coast.

Go somewhere else in Southeast Asia with better infrastructure, food and healthcare. And no typhoons either.

I live in a city with covered walkways (Eastwood, Quezon City). After a typhoon, an area not far from me in our barangay floods. The evening after a typhoon, I buy every bread roll at Pan de Manila (about 25 dollars) and have kids from the evacuation center at the local gym in a nearby neighborhood carry them over, because on the first night all they eat is porridge. Then I take some teenagers to McDonald's, buy a couple hundred burgers, and send the teens back to the evacuation center with them. I work nights. So for me, a typhoon just means buying food for the evacuation center on the first night. The next day, the local Catholic and Protestant churches take over the feeding. Enjoy wherever you end up.

I worry more about banks than typhoons 🤔 You'll survive most typhoons, but if the banks close your accounts, you won't survive 🤔

Excellent. But be ready for a huge culture shock. It took me about 3 years to settle in, but now I absolutely love it... Patience and flexibility are the key...
