Hi, Yogesh!

In case you still needed advice:

I would suggest that you find a place in the Bonifacio Global City area rather than Alabang, it's not that far off. The good thing about is that the area is one big community with everything you need in it. Best of all, the British School Manila and International School Manila are both located in this area.

As for the vehicle, I would suggest a second hand vehicle. Buying and selling pre-owned vehicles here can sometimes be as simple as making a contract on a random piece of paper.

In general, I would say that the Philippines is a good place to stay right now and it's only going to get better.

Hi Yogesh,

Have you already relocated to Manila and got all settled there? If yes, I have the same questions as yours. Could you please help me here, Please send me PM with all details?
