DAVAO'S COST OF LIVING | Roger&Ismi Vlogs 

📌🙂

Are this stats still valid in 2023?

Have fun Smoky . Davao is fun i stayed at the Seda hotel practically connected to Abreeza mall . Its very clean by comparison with other large cities. Davao by square footage is quite large actually. My 3 hour drive there from General Santos was some of the most beautiful scenery Philippines has to offer . Theres a small city just outside about an hour drive through beautiful country called Digos that I really liked . Mindanao cost of living is cheaper overall . I prefer Gen Santos with less traffic and an abundance of markets . Of course its the tuna capital and the drive down to Glan is breathtaking with highpoint areas to stop safely and take it all in . Gazillion Muslim mosques everywhere there obviously the religion of choice. Stay safe

@@robbyrose6904 Thanks. I'm looking for a new adventure in my life and want to make the most of it. Hospitals were a major factor in my decision for living in Davao. I'm in good health, but just in case. If you make it back to the Philippines I would like to do a meet and greet. Have a great weekend.

@@smokymountainmodeler3054 Yes I’m in Cebu Dec 1- Feb1 and again in June generally until I’m fully retired which is 3-4 years from now . I agree its very smart to choose your location with access to adequate medical facilities . Meetups are great and welcomed . So much to do enjoy yourself and if you have any questions i can help with please don’t hesitate to reach out as I’m very well traveled throughout the Philippines .

@@robbyrose6904 Thanks.

I'm curious where this is. I'm interested in rental houses more than apartments

I don't know the cost of their gyms but I think you can find cheaper ones but the thing is not machines

Villa price and huge two story house. But still it depends on expats if he or she wants to pay that high amount.

@@RogerIsmiVlogs Yup, I totally understand. But don’t forget, most foreign guys come with a different mindset. First of all, they believe their dollar goes such a long way that they suddenly believe they have become millionaires and, of course, spend accordingly. And second, because they feel suddenly quite rich, they wanna bring their western style of living to the Philippines. And as you know, a western lifestyle cost money no matter where you live.

$400 that's a lot

Exactly right! We will be staying in our home in a couple of weeks.

@@LoveBeyondTheSea Good for you my friend, it's the only way to live rent free.

Hello, welcome aboard. not so expensive compare to major cities in the Philippines

There are Hollywood movies being played in cinemas in Davao, basically following the national schedules in Manila. I recommend cinemas in SM Lanang or NCCC Mall Buhangin as the seats are comfortable and clean, plus better sounding.

I’ve dated more than my fair share of beautiful filipina women and although they’re from everywhere Cebu gets top honors .

Night life is virtually laidback and nuanced compared to Manila and Cebu and, even other major cities in Mindanao like Cagayan de Oro or General Santos. It's much more of cafés and music lounges as nightlife such as you find in Damosa, Torres Street and Matina Town Square. There are bars and disco clubs here but are found in hole-in-the-wall places, not much out there. Not much excitement either since there are a handful of restrictions, like liquors not allowed to be served after 12am, or smoking and vaping banned inside establishments (with a designated smoking/vaping area outside), and loud noises not allowed in public areas after 10pm. I mean there are tons of civilian police roaming around. So the kind nightlife you want wont be around for you if you live in Davao City.

I totally agree! We stayed in Davao for one week and overall are nice

we love to

Best place to retire brother

Salamat Tito. That would really help us.

Or the Philippines as a whole . Especially travel destinations . Everyone knows about Boracay or Palawan but theres another level such as Pangulassan islands or Amanpulo my favorite as examples . Living expenses are budgeted accordingly like the rest of the World.

@@robbyrose6904 I makes me cringe when I hear talk about $170 rents. I’m looking at $2000 in BGC. (Yes, I know I can spend less.)

@@MakatiMazz Yes after the typhoon destroyed our rental I’m back to 90k p monthly luxury condo110 sqm in the heart of Cebu . Will let the place rebuild and move back out into the suburbs . You can lease out a 160 sqm home very nice for about 50k p .

Thanks for your feedback my friend

Thank you so much Brother

@metalion1111 THT, I've seen expats who say $500 to over $1,000 per month for gated subdivision home rents. It depends on home size, location and quality of construction. I saw a huge beach house that was incredible BUT was $1,700 a month! Ouch!

Thank you so much for watching and welcome aboard. God bless and keep safe

Thank you brother

San Carlos City Negros Occidental
