Depends on what kind of a person are you. If you're a city-girl and would like to live fast, then I would suggest the Metro Manila Area. But if you're a laid-back one, you would probably want to stay on the country side. Cebu is a good place where you can have a bit of the city and the country. |

Jagna, Bohol, it is paradise! But it is near a big city, Jagna, has heaps of beaches, fetes!
Jagna is a bustling port town in the eastern coast of Bohol. This municipality was first settled by immigrants from Loboc who transformed the wide valley into rice paddies. It became a rather prosperous community. In 1879, it had a population of 11,829.
Today, Jagna is the place from where you can embark in the direction of Mindanao. While you pass here, don't hesitate to have a taste of the local delicacy, calamay, a mixture of sticky rice, coconut milk, and sugar, packed in a coconut shell.
Jagna at a glance
Population: 30643
Number of households: 5957
Land area: 12063 ha
Number of barangays: 33
Distance from Tagbilaran: 63 km
But anywhere is Bohol or Cebu is the BEST!!!!!!!!!! |

Manilla has a lot of jobs. It also has a lot of the GOOD jobs.
If you are into touristy areas, then go to Boracay or Cebu. |

I have lived in Iloilo city for the past 4 years. I don't know if I would go as far as to rate it the best place to live, but it has many advantages. It's a small but growing city with 5 major modern shopping malls, many nice resturants and 3 modern up to date private hospitals. Literally dozens of private schools to international standards and colleges. Many nice subdivisions to choose an apartment or a house to rent. Cost of living here is about 30% less than the big cities like Manila or Cebu. There are many nice resorts here and 2 golf courses. Boracay island is only 2.5 hours away by airconditioed bus.
Bacolod on the island of ****** is a nice place to live as well. Just a little bit more spread out than Iloilo with the same advantages. |

The province is a long narrow island at the center of the Visayan Islands, 365 miles south of Manila. Cebu City is centrally located in the widest portion of the island at the east coast harbor.
Cebu, Philippines was under Spanish rule for three centuries. After discovery of the Philippines by Magellan in 1521, the first Spanish settlement was built in Cebu in 1565 by Mexico's Spanish government to colonize the country. Cebu also has the oldest school in the country, the San Carlos University, and the oldest street, Colon Street, built by the Spaniards. After centuries as a Spanish colony, a revolution led in part by Emilio Aguinaldo broke out in 1896 in the Philippine Islands and the revolutionary government in June 12, 1898 declared independence, which United States authorities refused to recognize the new government. Right after the Spanish- American War, on December 10, 1898, representatitves of Spain and the United States signed the Treaty of Peace in Paris wherein Spain sold the Philippine Islands, receiving in exchange $20,000,000. After fighting a savage guerilla war (The Philippine-American War) for two and a half years, the Filipinos suddenly found themselves in a seemingly advantageous position as allies of the United States. The Japanese then occupied the Philippines during World War II. Shortly after the landing of the Japanese Army in Cebu City on April 10, 1942, the entire province became the principal Japanese base due to its strategic location and substantial population. Cebu finally saw the light of freedom in March 1945 when American liberation forces landed in Talisay town. Not until after World War II, the government of the United States of America gave the Philippine Islands its independence on July 4, 1946.
Today, the Philippines celebrates its Independence Day on June 12, although its independence was only recognized on July 4, 1946 by the United States. From 1946 to 1961, Independence Day was observed on July 4, but in the name of nationalism, President Diosdado Macapagal, upon the advice of historians, reverted to the June 12 date, which up to that time had been observed as Flag Day. Philippine historians point out that independence in 1946 came with numerous strings attached. The U.S. retained military bases, and that independence was linked to legislation passed by the U.S. Congress, which was designed to ensure that the Philippines would remain an economic ward of the U.S.
Cebu is the gateway to two thirds of the Philippine archipelago. It is the primary destination of approximately 35% of the Philippines' foreign visitors. The harbor of Cebu City is an international port with ocean-going vessels and domestic ships and five inter-island shipping companies. Cebu serves as the base for 80 percent of the country’s inter-island shipping capacity in all of its 44 domestic ports. The Cebu-Mactan International Airport is ideally and strategically located that travel time is only 3 to 4 hours to fourteen (14) cities in the Asia Pacific. Mactan-Cebu International Airport is a major trade center in the south for both domestic and international traffic. Its traffic is continually increasing and is now serving 520 commercial flights weekly transporting 7,613 passengers daily.
Cebu has an abundance of beauty. From the central mountains to the coral sands, the island is a natural wonder. Most of the archipelago's 8,120 species of flowering plants can be found in Cebu. 5,832 are unique to the country. Birds migrating from Russia enroute to Australia stop at the Olango Bird Sanctuary. Mountains streams cascade from misty heights to the sea. Colorful butterflies contrast with flocks of noisy birds. Some of the wold's best scuba diving is located around Cebu's shore with magnificent coral formations, spectacular marine life and drop-offs plunging to blue nothingness. There are regular sightings of dolphins and whales in the surrounding seas. The cool highlands are within 30 minutes drive from Metro Cebu. Roadside clumps of giant hibiscus, fragrant plumeria (frangipanni) and delicate orchids brighten the way. Being an important city next to Manila, Cebu today is fast-growing as a vital business as well as a leisure destination. |
