"If you are looking for a place to live in Manila, there are a variety of options available. You can search online for rental listings, or contact a local real estate agent to help you find a suitable place. You can also look for classified ads in local newspapers or online. Additionally, you can ask friends and family for recommendations. Once you have narrowed down your search, you can visit the properties in person to get a better feel for the area and decide if it is the right fit for you," commented one expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.

A car would be helpful if you decide to live more than walking distance from the LRT/MRT," remarked another expat in Manila, Philippines.
