5 good reasons for living in the Philippines

Filipina, Filipina and more filipina
Cost of Living
English
Friendliness of People
Easy to travel around Country and other parts of Asia

I mostly agree:

1. Girls (both marriageable and other)
2. Low costs, especially for fresh food and schools
3. People friendly to foreigners, especially Americans
4. English widely spoken
5. Tropical climate (though tastes for that differ)

While international connections to Asia and the US are very good, transportation in the countryside leaves a lot to be desired.
