Why do people move to Manila?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Manila, they responded...
"Foreigners mainly move to Manila because of the low living costs and the fact that many people in the Philippines speak English. Beside that people generally are friendly," remarked another expat in Manila, Philippines.
"Manila is an attractive destination for expats due to its vibrant culture, diverse cuisine, and friendly people. The city offers a wide range of activities and attractions, from shopping and nightlife to historical sites and natural wonders. The cost of living in Manila is relatively low compared to other major cities, making it an ideal place for expats to settle down. Additionally, the city is well-connected to other parts of the country and the world, making it easy to explore the rest of the Philippines. With its warm climate, beautiful beaches, and welcoming locals, Manila is an ideal destination for expats looking for a new home," said a member in Manila, Philippines.
