Hi baldrick,

Thanks for liking Philippines to stay...and spend some part of your life there...

On my personal views, much better to settle in Boracay island... I and my filipina wife have a property (small), it such a townhouse only in Katiklan (very near to Bora island), we bought it about 3 years ago..and the price that time is quite good and not so much expensive. but this time it just increased a little bit i think.

If you could found property there that cost around 8 million to 14 million pesos for 120 sq. m. to 160 sq. m...that is reasonable and that is already cheap... and when you converted this price to riyal, it's only around 800 thousand or 1.2 million riyals only... you could afford it...

you can also check those links that other respondents posted on their replies... for more options and choices.

good luck and happy staying in Philippines..see you there one time..hehehehe
