"When moving to Moalboal, it's essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, shorts, and light dresses. Don't forget to pack a swimsuit or two, as Moalboal is known for its beautiful beaches and diving spots. A hat, sunglasses, and a high SPF sunscreen are also must-haves to protect yourself from the sun. Pack a sturdy pair of sandals suitable for walking on the beach and a pair of comfortable shoes for exploring the town. A light rain jacket or umbrella is also recommended, as the Philippines experiences frequent rain showers. Bring along your necessary toiletries, but remember that most items can be purchased locally. However, if you have specific brands or products you prefer, it's better to bring them with you. Don't forget to pack your necessary documents, such as your passport, visa, and other identification. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. If you plan on diving, bring your certification card and logbook. You may also want to pack your own snorkeling or diving gear, although these can be rented locally. Pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and any necessary prescription medications. It's also recommended to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, and a reusable shopping bag, as the Philippines is trying to reduce plastic usage. Lastly, bring a good quality camera or smartphone to capture the beautiful scenery and memories of your time in Moalboal," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Moalboal, Philippines.
