Living in the Philippines

A melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities, and full of natural wonders, the Philippines is a very exciting expat destination. Whether you are looking for new professional opportunities, want to live in a big city, or enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, the Philippines could be a perfect destination. The Philippines also has a developed economy and offers relatively good living standards.

Located in Southeast Asia in the Pacific Ocean, the Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world. Its tropical climate and location make it prone to earthquakes, but have also made the country rich in natural resources. The Philippines comprises over 7000 islands and can be divided into three main parts, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Not only can the country boast a rich culture, but it has the world’s 12th largest population, with about 94 million inhabitants. While the Philippines has had its share of political instabilities in the 20th century, and only became independent from the USA after World War II, it has a strong, industrialised economy with relatively low unemployment rates.

If you are looking for outdoor adventures, the Philippines can boast a range of natural wonders, from coral-fringed islands, to stunning hills, and sandy beaches, where you can go hiking, diving, snorkelling or swimming with sharks. Manila, the capital of the Philippines is the commercial, and cultural centre, with some major landmarks, and offers a cosmopolitan and multicultural lifestyle. If you decide to move to the Philippines, you’ll surely enjoy its great cuisine, its cultural diversity that combines Eastern and Western influences, and the range of opportunities the country offers.
