    They must be joking! If I could afford it, I would live in Tagaytay.

    No joke. One person really needed an article. Another person really needed some money. Match made.

    @Brian Oinks Sorry, the articles from this site are worthless fluff.

    I KNOW WHERE I would rather be (and I am!) But in saying that, I personally have not experienced all that is on offer here, as they say; "opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one". :tongue: But who am I to say, but I threw this out there and I am looking forward to the opinions of others who have actually been to some of these places and the reasons WHY they think it is better or worse than their preference... :wink:

    That list might deserve to be in the "Funny Stuff" section of the forum. :rolleyes:

    My secret spots are still safe. :wink:

    What a crock of sh*t, have the writer spend 3 months in each of his "best" cities on a fixed budget and see what he writes next.. 100% bullshit list..

    One man's heaven is another man's hell. Take, for example, my friends that hunt, they want to live in the middle of nowhere and shoot things. :facepalm:

    That is one of the things I hope to see others discuss, hearing from people who have been there and done that bears a lot more credit than a 'list' so fingers crossed it will open some debate on what areas some prefer to others and why... :wink:

    I have 'my spot' and am happy with that, (for now) but it would be nice if I decide to move somewhere else and had a better idea from people living here, what an area is like and why they think it is better, rather than people promoting an area merely for profit.

    O-
    There are many hidden gems in the Philippines for living there. They have just to be found. There are not something like best 7 cities. Tastes are different. Someone prefers the small municipality on a small island while another one prefers to live in a big city.

    EDIT: Even on myself I have some diametrically opposing looking tastes.
    One small list of some of possible future living places: Valencia, Bayawan, Tanjay, Davao, Lapu-Lapu, Siquijor, Larena, Ormoc and some more.
