I am not alone. It's "More fun in the Philippines"! Plus, the exchange rate (47.6PhP:1USD today) makes life comfortable for us. I pay 5000 PhPesos per month for a two bedroom house two blocks from Davao Gulf beachfront. That's about $110 at current rates.
In 2012, the U.S. State Department estimated that there were over 300,000 to 600,000 U.S. citizens living in the Philippines.
