Is moving to the Philippines a good idea?
With over 7500 islands, a warm marine climate, friendly locals, and some of the top-ranked beaches in the world; It's no secret why 8 million tourists visit the Philippines each year. The jaw-dropping natural beauty combined with low prices also makes the Philippines a top expat destination.
Crime rates in the Philippines are high, with violent crime a particular concern. Gangs are active in large cities like Manila, and armed robberies have occurred on public transport. Expats should be cautious and vigilant in crowded public places to avoid petty crimes such as pickpocketing and mugging.
