I compared 7 Philippines cities head-to-head on a real $1,600/month retirement budget — ranking them on housing cost, healthcare access, climate, safety, expat community, and long-term livability. Not just the cheapest option. The best value.

Cities ranked: Manila/BGC, Cebu City, Subic & Clark, Baguio, Iloilo, Davao, and Dumaguete.

What you'll learn:
→ Which cities will eat your budget before the month ends
→ The 3 traps that turn a cheap city into an expensive mistake
→ Why Iloilo surprised me more than any other city on this list
→ The one city that consistently comes out ahead for retirees on modest budgets
