I do not know. I am moving to the Philippines later this year. I am going to Davao City. I was there a few months ago. I have been all over the Philippines, and I never saw as many ex pats (Brits, German, Dutch, Americans, Canadians, Australians, Japanese, Chinese,Koreans) anywhere else, as I saw in Davao City. I felt much more freedom. They do not give you a big hassle like they do here. Color me gone.
