Скачать или смотреть Moving to the Philippines? The Hidden Costs Nobody Talks About!

Thinking of moving to the Philippines? 🇵🇭
It’s true—you can find cheap rent, warm weather, and incredible people.
But if you’re not careful, the hidden costs can sneak up fast. 💸

In this video, I break down the unexpected expenses that come with relocating to the Philippines—from your plane ticket to your first grocery haul… and everything in between.

We’ve lived in three different places in Butuan City, and now we're in Cebu City—so this is based on real experiences, not guesswork.
I’m not a relocation expert—just someone who’s been there, done that, and wants to help you avoid a few surprises.

Topics I cover:
✈️ Travel and short-term stays
🏠 Deposits, rentals, and settling in
🧻 Household basics and setup costs
📶 SIM cards, transportation, and more

💡 DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is key!
Before our move, we followed channels like:

Amazing Philippines

Monkey Explores

PH Dot Net
...and watched videos from the exact areas we were considering.
