Our original idea was to experience condo life in downtown Davao.
We looked at a lot, but didn't find anything to suit us at all.
Most of the ones we looked at were like ovens inside until ALL the A/C units got going.
Not for us.

Here in our little village we are surrounded by green areas and trees.
Mostly a nice breeze.
From around 3:30 pm the temperature cools down enough for a bike ride or a stroll.
At night it drops to around 23 - 25
With the windows open we normally enjoy a nice movement of air. Usually a small fan helps.

It's summer here now and it can get very hot during the day. If there's no breeze and it gets very humid we'll turn on a small A/C on to cool down the house.
We can sit outside and enjoy the warm evenings and a family meal.

Yes, it's true the heat in the Philippines is a very significant issue that needs considerable thought.
Especially when relocation is in mind.

I've met a few folks who find it too much.
They almost never leave their house and cold beer to go anywhere. Well except a meeting at their regular watering hole. They must be happy or they'd leave I guess ? I can't help wondering if they must get bored.
When you ask them where they have visited in the Philippines it's mostly nowhere.

Strange bunch IMO
Friendly enough though, and if I'm passing by will always greet me and invite me for a cold one.
I've done so a few times but it generally ends up with the regular hardliners almost getting to blows over the usual politics and religion.
