What is the Cost of Living in the Philippines
Things to Consider
Your cost of living in this country is determined by the lifestyle you desire and
the type of job you hold.
The Philippines is a Southeast Asian nation with more than 7,000 islands.
It has a gorgeous coastline and beautiful people. It is Asia's largest Catholic country due to Spanish colonization.
Restaurants
In every country, eating out is more expensive than cooking at home. However, the Philippines offer some great cooking, and it is not as expensive as you would have expected. Indeed, there are many high-end fancy restaurants and they are not cheap.
Nonetheless, you can also eat at an inexpensive restaurant for less than 150 pesos ($3) and have dinner for two at a middle-range restaurant for only
about 12 to 14 dollars.
