Hi Tom, I am another soon-to-be-retiree interested in Philippine. From what I read on internet, Cebu (2nd largest city) seems like a good choice. What other advantage will it be to live in Davao (3rd largest city, or its nearby area), other than lower cost of living, less crowded area? Does it suffer any inferior interstructure (or, rather inconvenience) than those at Cebu? How is the utilities services (phone, internet, water, etc.) situation? Are they satisfactory? What are the deciding factors that made you choose Davao, instead of other areas? Thanks Gordon C.

What is the current security situation for American expats in Davao? My soon to be bride wants to marry in Davao as her family lives in Tagum, and Cotobato, neither of which are particularly safe for westerners. I am even considering buying a house in Davao if I can find one at the right price. I would sure appreciate any well informed opinions on this.
