    Hi, my opinion as to why Cebu is vibrant and full of young and educated workforce .. Mostly because of its location. Its in the central hub of almost 80 percent of all islands...
    1.The big Universities are there. Every year, Cebu will receive hundreds of thousands of young 16 -18 freshmen aiming just for studies. The city really is full of educated people.
    2. The big hospitals are in Cebu- it caters the entire Visayas and Mindanao. So newly grad nurses/doctors are trained there.
    3. Old money people lived there for the convinience of living and easy.access to health care, while just an hour or 4- boat -away from their haciendas. They are the ones who have access to spas and beauty care
    4. Cebu offers a varied amount of enjoyment, from big malls.to.mountains, from springs to waterfalls to seas and oceans...they got it all.for you
    5.Faith tourism. Everyone loves the Sto. Niño...Every visitor of Cebu, even if you were just there for short study period or health issues, whenever prayers are granted you will always be back to Sto. Niño to thank him or to ask.another favor
    6. innate. When one is pure in heart and grateful, it radiates. Natural beaty shines within.
    7. Mostly not all are locals from cebu, but mostly the ones who are now residing in cebu are resilient, independent, accountable and responsible people just for the fact that they leave their provinces or islands to look for a brighter future.
    lastly, you probably havent met or seen those beautiful people in the provinces because they are all in cebu studying, intern,nanagkot😂
    just wait for all souls day and Holy week- you will see 80 percent of people will leave cebu city out to their provinces

      In May, 1981, I had my wedding ceremonies at the same Sacred Heart Church, with an American priest officiating. Got 3 kids, too, now 42, 39 and 38. The eldest is a Computer Engineer, working as Chief Software Engineer for a US-based Japanese software firm located at IT Park.
      Blessed are we.

    I was in Cebu City last week, and the city is busier than ever. I lived in Cebu and Bantayan for 10 years until 2015, but I would never move back. The traffic has become very bad, and the roads are as bad or worse than before. SM Seaside is great, but Ayala and SM were disappointing; time seems to have stood still there, like in many other places in the Philippines. The women in the Philippines are as beautiful and attractive as ever, but unfortunately, many LDR fall apart because what you see on a screen isn’t necessarily a good match. If you want to find love in the Philippines, go there and take your time. I am Norwegian and currently live near Malaga in Spain, which is like heaven compared to the Philippines, and it’s cheaper too. Maybe I sound a bit negative, but that’s how I experience it. However, if you like life to go in slow motion, then the Philippines is the right place for you.

People from many countries. Friendly people here. Better quality of life. I'm going to Bohol for July 4th since the Jetboat only takes 1.5 hours for $35 each. Many more good things to say during my next 17 days here with my Pinay

      Still, I am warming to the idea of going to visit. I do have an LDR but so far have told her I can't yet afford to go nor could I afford to support her daughter and her as a family. I actually might be able to, but wanted to ensure there was no concept of me as an ATM. I'm 76 and she's 44, so there's that aspect, too.

    I'm currently considering the Philippines in a few years and have enjoyed your videos. I'm sure you're right about Cebu regarding the pretty, educated ladies, but I'm not very convinced that this is the place for retirees to come. From what I've seen from various videos (and human nature), these more educated Filipinas are likely to be more selective than elsewhere because they have more options. I simply don't believe that age doesn't matter at ALL. You can go on any dating site and see that the Filipinas that are looking don't really DESIRE older men. Sure, some may, especially if you're not a "broke down" retiree and are in good shape. There may be some 25 year olds in Cebu that are willing to be with a 60-65 year old, but I don't think that number is particularly high, especially considering the increased competition. Thoughts?

    Hi. I'm a new Sub. I spent last year in Thailand and Cambodia. Now I'm researching Phils with a view towards a long-term visit starting around August.
    My priorities: Good hospital, mall, good restaurants/access to healthy food, food delivery, *some* nightlife, opportunity for some social interaction. Cebu City sounds like it fits the bill. Agree?

    I have lived in IT Park for 3 months and one word comes to mind BORING! I'm a single gentlemen and am not impressed with Cebu. Cebu as ZERO nightlife and during the day there's not much to do. Yes, there are many Philippine girls working here in Cebu but have little time to do anything else. My advice to your viewers is to lower your expectations and realize that there is not "The Prefect Place" for anything! "You've got to find yourself

      I tend to agree with you, I've watched so many expats living in Cebu City, saying how great it is and the abundance of pretty women, I'm getting to think they are used car salesmen. Just trying to get the views. I've been studying Cebu for over 2 years now, and as an old texan of 74, I've decided on starting my venture in Iloilo City. better infrastructure, cleaner, less traffic, and safe bicycle lanes, along with the walking esplanades. Since I'm not looking for a companion, I think I'll be just fine there. and eventually venture to other places to visit.

      Anywhere in the Philippines that are not in Metro Manila (Makati City, City of Manila, etc. ) is called "provincia/probinsya" by those metro- city people. So Cebu City, Davao City, etc. are generically "provincia/probinsya". Sadly, the mentality is "Manila-centric".
      Regarding "real" probinsyanas... Village women or barrio women... mujeres del barrio... They are those who live in villages/barrios/barangays/towns/poblaciones. But there are villages/barrios/barangays/towns/poblaciones which have State Universities, so you can find a lot of educated women in those non-urban places with college degrees like BS in Education, BS in Hotel-Restaurant Management, BS Computer Science, etc. Those in the education field usually have Masters, some have Doctorates.
      As an example: The resort island of Bohol (area: 4.8K sq km, pop: 1.4M) is 30 km from Cebu City. It's shortest distance to Cebu island is 10km. It is the province with the most towns in the Philippines, totaling 47 towns.
      It has State Us in 6 locations. These locations are non-urban, which may be barrio or poblacion and may be coastal or inland.

    But the Filippinas there are used to foreigners, maybe already tired of getting hit too often by them!
    So you don;t have a foreigner exotic bonus and many of the girls want a filipino partner
    or one not more older than 5 to 8 years their age ...

    Wish they had some nice properties in the city even if it's pricer. I couldn't stay in a place like this for more than a week, it's suffocating. You only spend so much time outside, when working or cooking (I eat healthy and would cook mostly), it just feels like a prison. In UK houses already got shoe box sized rooms, so this being even smaller, I would probably want to off myself first week I am staying there. I don't want rent a house in suburbs deal with roaches and all that or commute. Just want a nice looking, spacious duplex / penthouse apt in the city, for a price that make sense for local area, not for the price that's higher than in London. These tiny apts look affordable, until you do the math, it's just too much of a prison cell. Which is fine for backpackers, or go eat and drink and stay out 20h outside per day, but not for digital nomad for example. And doesn't seem like there are many options.

    My opinion, forget about meeting women. Set yourself up in the area that has everything you like and concentrate on making your life the best and happiest you can. Be it nature, golf, beaches, food, whatever your into. Then if you meet a lady that makes good life even better great, if not your happy and you'll meet one eventually. Me personally spending half the year in Asia and not really having a scarcity mindset I think setting yourself up for the most mentally healthy and happy life you can is best. Sharing that with a lady is optional and just a bonus.

      Truer words are rarely spoken… Guys, quit worrying about what to say, where to go, and all this other “expat relationship” advice… Be yourself, and go have fun, meaning enjoy the moment and lead the interaction in a positive way. Available women are literally everywhere you’ll go here in the Phil’s. Just saying hi is a start !
      Westernized spots like IT Park ? The women there I have found to be a little more westernized and “business” oriented meaning these are the ones many expats like to refer to as scammers. They’ll play on your emotions to extract money from you if you allow it and my advice is don’t allow it ! Just say NO… Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of extremely attractive women in IT Park, Ayala Mall area, etc., but I would never seriously consider those areas as being the best place to meet “quality” Filipinas but ymmv.
      Take your time getting to know this culture first ! That’s the #1 thing to know, and then never forget that women share universal characteristics that if YOU don’t understand as a man, she’ll come into your life like a typhoon all wet and wild and then leave having destroyed or taken all of your belongings including your heart and that applies to women EVERYWHERE! I do think the Philippines has the sweetest and highest quality women on the planet and most Filipinas do not seem to be confused as to whether they’re a man or a woman
      Clarification regarding my comment “go have fun.”, is not meant to abuse the beautiful women here. Don’t lead them on me and treat them well. Be a gentleman.
      In a very broad sense, you’re going to find the majority of Filipinas to have wonderful feminine characteristics that are extremely attractive and sadly now missing from many American women and that’s what us Americans and other men from westernized “feminized” countries notice first and it’s extremely alluring

You have to really do hunting,and be very lucky to find an inexpensive flight so many flights going to the same place but have all different prices. I don't know if I would ever be able to pay for anything outside of the U.S. I'm 63 never been on a plane and it's very confusing a plane can go so far then you have to take more than one plane to get to just one direct place 😠 such things are just about impossible for a 63 year old guy on social security disability. And I found out S.S can automatically cancel my S.S. if I'm out of the states for more than 30 days. I only get about 65,000 pesos a month.
