I know what your saying jackmac, personally in Cebu we've been into a few places and a met a few ex-pats we'd rather not meet again. For me, I prefer living in Manila and we were there before, I met a lot more ex-pats closer to my age who were working in Manila.
In Cebu, if you do look around, you'll find the genuine guys, but definately these places attract the wrong sorts.
I've been to so many 3rd World Countries that the shock starts to wear off, but I pretty much knew what I was walking in to.
