I've heard good things about Dumaguete too.
I'd move to Phils tomorrow if I didn't have my parental responsibilities here.
I wouldn't mind living in Subic. The beach isn't up to much, not a beach person anyway, but having the sea to to look out across is nice, and there are plenty of expats and accompanying facilities, plus easy access to Manila on the new highway.
I did live in Angeles City for 3 years, and ran a business there (NOT a girlie bar),
and also I lived far out in the province for months on end, but had the ex's family around then.
Also had an apartment in Pasay, Manila before I was married, but just too much pollution in the capital.
Anywhere will do me !
