Americans living in the Philippines please please please answer one or more of my questions!?

I have lived in Cebu . Internet there is good as is Mactan Island . You will not need any language other than English . Avoid Mindinao . Visit Bohol and the Chocolate Hills .For $1600 per month you may be ok , keep your money hidden from view , not in wallet in back pocket . Plan on spending about 15 -20,000 PHP for a house , if you want any modern convience . If you want air con , plan on electric bill of P6000 . The houses are not insulated therefore it takes quite a bit to cool them . You may be able to find a house around Bohol for far less than other areas , but check on internet before leasing . Good internet is not widely available outside big cities . Be prepared for many power outages , you may want to purchase a generator

Why choosing the Philippines, there's a lot of countries that's more presentable , suitable and livable unlike the Philippines. 99.9 poor, all beggars, People are uneducated, braggarts, they live like rats, they love holes to hide, because they look like rats, behaves like rats, mentality of rats , the men mainly. Be careful of men down there. They never saw western woman ever, they might kidnap you as they are being rejected by their own women, so they behave like hungry dogs, everything that moves. When they see you they will observe you like they never saw human before, they would be curios, and study your habits. Men might try to court you because they have a very high esteem to themselves, they consider themselves like adonis when in reality they resemble those macac of Africa.

- What language is most common among the locals? TAGALOG - Are there any colleges that offer general education classes taught in English? YES - What are the best restaurants on the island and what are their price ranges? THERE ARE BOUNTY OF DELICIOUS FOOD HERE, I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO PICK - What areas of the Philippines should I avoid?

YES - Are there any areas particularly good for sight seeing? there's A LOT. like mt mayon,mt pinatubo,chocolate hills,plenty of falls,beaches,springs,taal lake , ETC - We want a cleaning lady to come in once a week to clean our house and our laundry, where could we find one that is trustworthy? you can ask a friend if they have relatives and such or you can call an agency and evaluate them yourself

for a place to stay check out "Sulit.ph" or "Ayosdito.com" If you stay out of bars & away from Mindanao no need for the taser. Click on "Philippine crime rate statistics" Tagalog is most spoken but seems like there is always somebody that can speak English. Booze & cigs are very cheap. If you buy either one you will have a lot of friends LOL Every taxi driver has a cell just ask a few drivers for it. Always make sure the meter works as it not working is a scam.
