To me learning the local language is everything, in this case Tagalog, the national language. You can be anywhere in the world and you can't really feel you belong if you don't speak the language of the country you decided to adopt. IT iS EVERYTHING. Language is the culture itself. Filipinos may understand English but they're shy speaking it. You're left with a communication gap trying hard to understand why. So instead of learning about the differences in culture, you might as well focus on learning the language. Hate to repeat it again and again and again.

It seems to me that many couples usually live close to where their Filipino family is from. At least that was our case. We initially purchased property in Lipa, Batangas, before we arrived in the Philippines, but recently decided to put it up for sale. Although Lipa is a very nice city, has everything you need, and only 1.5 hrs drive away from Manila, we've felt more at home living far north in Northern Luzon in the Ilocos Region for the past 2 years. Most foreigners overlook this area, but we have everything here and we love that it hasn't been overrun by too many foreigners like other places we've travled to in the Philippines. Ilocos is home and we feel most comfortable here. We've been able to make friends, land was so much cheaper than Lipa, and we have also started building our house here. So my suggestion is to move around first and meet like minded people before you decide on where you want to reside long term.
