You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!

What is it like to live in Davao City?

Living in Davao City is like living in other parts of the country except that you get to enjoy more of:

  • Fresh air. You won't see smokers in sidewalks and other public places. Hefty fines to those who violate. Firecrackers are banned during holidays.
  • Clean water. I don't buy purified bottled water. I drink water straight from faucet.
  • Security. You can walk in the middle of the night while holding your brand new shiny iPhone without getting mobbed. Police visibility in key areas is also comforting to note.
  • Less litters. The city has strict implementation of Solid Waste Management. You can only throw your household trash if properly segregated and you can't throw it anytime. There's scheduled garbage collection (6:00 PM -9:00 PM every Thursday in our village.
  • Disciplined drivers. If you're from Cebu, CDO or Manila, you'll appreciate how disciplined drivers here in Davao, most notably the PUVs. It's rare.
  • Affordable foods. You can get a decent meal for $1 or less.
  • White sand beaches are just an hour away from city, or less.


If nightlife, partying is your thing, then, Davao City is no good place for you. If you want to settle for good like build family, have kids or retire, then, Davao City is a great place to live.
