"Expats in Coron may find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as the majority of locals speak Tagalog or Cuyonon, and while English is widely taught in schools, not everyone is fluent. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a fast-paced, highly scheduled lifestyle. The concept of "Filipino Time", where events often start later than scheduled, can be frustrating for those who value punctuality. The local cuisine, which heavily features seafood and rice, may also be a challenge for those who are not used to such a diet. Additionally, the tropical climate, with its high humidity and frequent rain, can be difficult to adjust to. Lastly, the lack of certain Western amenities and the occasional power outages can also pose challenges for expats," said another expat in Coron, Philippines.
