Cebu, Philippines - Cost of Living
#Cebu #Philippines #CostofLiving
Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines with Metro Cebu being the second-largest metropolitan area in the Philippines.
It really is possible to live in Cebu for $1,000 a month.
So how much does it cost to live in Cebu?
Coming up I’ll show you what these budgets look like in IT Park and Cebu Business Park, two of Cebu’s most popular destinations for expats, retirees, and location-independent entrepreneurs.
Best Neighborhoods
There are several developments in Cebu that are considered “trendy” or “cool” and these are usually located near commercial centers and have easy access to everything.
Cebu IT Park - has first-world standards like sidewalks, proper-sized roads, coffee shops, restaurants, condos, and a new mall.
Many employees in the IT Park area work at business processing companies and call centers servicing the United States and Europe. Workers are coming on and off of shifts around the clock so many restaurants are open 24hours a day. With this, there is a well-educated, group of English-speaking professionals in the area making it an easy place to make Filipino friends.
Cebu Business Park (CBP) is home to several multinational businesses, residential condos, hotels, and the Ayala Center shopping mall, which draws 85,000 visitors on an average day.
CBP is the single largest urban development project in the Philippines outside of Manila.
Calyx Residences are located in the residential enclave of the Cebu Business Park, two blocks away from Ayala Center Mall it is home of Cebu’s first high-rise rooftop infinity swimming pool on the 28th floor offering a panoramic view of the channel, the city harbor and the mountains surrounding Cebu.
Here’s a breakdown of what you might find in Cebu:
Simple Apartment: $300 - $500. USD
Starting around $300 USD you can find a good quality studio apartment in a good location. At this price, you can often find air conditioning, decent furniture, 24/7 security and maybe even some other amenities like cable, wifi, and a swimming pool.
Nice Apartment: $600 - $1,000 USD
Between $600 and $1,000 you can find quality one- and two-bedroom apartments that may have a gym, swimming pool, 24/7 security, included cable and wifi and other amenities.
And for about $6 a day you can hire a cleaner to clean your place.
Monthly Overheads
When it comes to utilities, electricity can be expensive if you run your AC a lot.
Basic Utilities (Electricity, Heating, Cooling, Water, Garbage) $120.
Internet $30 - $50.
Smartphone service will be another $15.
Fitness Club, Monthly Fee for 1 Adult $40. - $50.
However, a personal trainer may be as little as $3 per hour.
Food Costs in Cebu
Local food can be tasty and very affordable and a meal at a local restaurant will often cost less than $3. and a meal at a western-style restaurant will often cost between $5 and $10.
Western-style supermarkets with imported goods from around the world are available although prices can be high. If you shop at the local markets and stick to Filipino food brands and local fruits and vegetables you can spend less than $200 per month for all your meals. Buying at the open-air markets is the most economical way to shop.
Getting Around Cebu
Jeepneys are the cheapest mode of transportation and most major roads and destinations are covered Buses are also available on main routes. These rides may cost you as little as twenty cents. Metered taxis and Grab are the most comfortable options while motorbike taxis are a cheap, fast option during heavy traffic.
A taxi ride from Cebu IT Park to Cebu Airport (CEB) will cost about ₱210 - ₱260 or about $5 USD. A taxi between Cebu Business Park and IT Park cost about ₱90 or $2USD.
Travel from Cebu
Cebu is a great place to base out of for traveling around and exploring the Philippines. Ferry transportation is convenient and the airport is easy to get in and out of, and has flights to many locations.
Healthcare costs in Cebu
Healthcare in Cebu is so affordable that many expats don’t take out health insurance, and instead pay for treatment on a case by case basis. The cost of a visit to the doctor is about $12 USD. If you prefer health insurance, PhilHealth is a government-subsidized option that is available for foreign immigrants and citizens. It will cost about 17,000.00₱, less than $350 USD per year. There are also private options from companies like Bupa and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Cebu has been a favorite of mine even during my stopovers in the AirForce back in the day. You kept it simple and clear, good onya mate!

I rented a nice one bedroom house in lapu lapu for $120 per month. Airbnb would cost you more because they know foreigners book them. I got mine from word of mouth and from someone who knows the owner. That's the best and cheapest way to book. So much better in person. I've been doing it for years.

This was an exhaustive --not to be equated with exhausting-- intro to life as an expat in Cebu. I am sorely tempted to change my plans for my move because the city as viewed in the video is so accomodating and inviting. Hard choices ahead but one thing is for sure, Cebu is high on the list. Thanks for the hard work that went into providing both an informative and well-shot video!

We have a great airport, good transportation system and many great hospitals. Many many options for renting and plenty of night life. We have the mountains above Cebu City and many nice beaches. Also, Cebu doesn't get the major typhoons that plague Samar, leyte and Luzon provinces. We love it here on Cebu Island. Again, nice video

I’ve heard that Cebu would make a great base camp due to the airport and also many boats that can take you to all the different islands cheap. Plus the rent there is very reasonable over near the IT park plenty of condos to rent with a pool and also a gym inside the building plus they are safe and secure so when you leave for a week or more you come back home and all your stuff is still we’re you left it at. Dumagetti is also nice for xpats with plenty to do but you will need a scooter when you live there due to everything is distanced. Where as Cebu is a big city with plenty of public transportation it all depends on your lifestyle and if you plan on retiring in the Philippines

Yu Kay those statements are overreach dear. Are you from the Philippines? Coz clearly, you have no idea about what you're saying. -"kids are begging" That's pretty normal in more than 200 countries and territories. No country is an exception to poverty. Every country has underprivileged people. -"women are selling themselves to white old men" Well I agree that there might be isolated cases about that but that will never reflect the entirety of the population. Again, prostitution is common across 200 countries and territories. -"there is a guard with a shot gun at a store" Well, were you educated about the concept of security/ security guards? -"with one of the highest crime rates in the world" I beg your pardon? But maybe you are referring to some latin countries. Philippines' 2020 crime rate rank is 71st in the world. Far lower and more peaceful than Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Read your facts boo before you read somebody or anything.
If you're staying temporarily, Robinson Summit Galleria is a perfect place to stay because the hotel connects directly to the mall, which has dozens of food options available and a grocery store. Between that and Grab food delivery you barely ever need to leave the hotel/mall complex.
Love the way you broke down the prices and location. Easy to follow with good content and pics.

Thank you for your video blog. Indeed Cebu is the Queen City of the south. We have a lot of things to offer like nice people, complete access to business and travels. Although we are still in a pandemic. Hope that this will be over soon..

Joe R, Thanks !!!
cebu is the heart of visayas so in and out of tourist spots are easy
Been living in IT Park Cebu for a year and it cost us almost 1,500$ a month. And now transferring to south part of cebu and be able to buy own house which cost us more less than what we've spend while living in City. What misses me in the city is a nice restaurant with nice foods like denny's. But i really much prefer living in province, it's really quiet in here and relaxing, away from crowded places.

U r phony avatar person like few others here right!
I love your reviews and its cost. Thank you.. habe a good day
Most places, streets and shops looked very clean. Well maintained.
You can live comfortable in the Provinces on the outskirts on 600 a month. The average Filipino lives off 200 to 300 a month in the province. Some less than that.

Great video! I have always wanted to go to Cebu City. Maybe we'll try to visit next time we are back in the Philippines. I understand it's easy to go to a lot of beaches there.

Hmmmmm. Beaches in Cebu. Let's see: On Mactan the best are at the resorts. Plantation Bay. Shangri La. Move pick and Crimson. Plan on $200/night and learn Korean. There are at least 30 more places. If you want really nice beaches then you'll need to head Southeast. Moal Boal (Moe ahl bow ahl) or Badian. Don't go to Bantayan Island! I'm saving that for myself. 😜 Camotes Island is another place.
Very well-done, thank you for creating this. I very much enjoyed my visit to Cebu, but am quick to recall that the heat and humidity I experienced - even while it rained pretty hard - was absolutely stifling. Stepping into it felt like walking into an angry wall of aggressive turkey-roasting-oven air.. APART FROM THAT CEBU was wonderful. I followed Anthony Bourdain's advice and visited his suggested spot for lichen (it was amazing!), and met some really nice locals.
This channel deserves more subs!

I suggest you go southern part sir, some of the best beaches in the world are there with complete amenities. Moalboal, Oslob, Badian, Argao and Santander.
Great research. Thanks for the healthcare info !

Great job - yes Cebu City is a great option 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing, I'm trying to get to Philippines early 2021. Im hoping to check out cebu area
Welcome to my home. 😍 Very well presented indeed! 👌🏼
Thanks for featuring our City ❤️ Our Sinulog Festival every Januay is one of the most highlights in our country 😊 I work in IT Park for 7 years witnessed all of the developments that you have featured 😊 Thank you for visiting our beloved City ❤️
- 90 pesos from Cebu Business Park to IT Park is something i'd be paying if i hail a cab on non-peak hours. It would also help to know all the shortcuts out of IT Park to save money and have better access to shorter/cheaper trips to Cebu Business Park because there are jeepneys (with codes 04L, 13C, 13B, 62B, 62C) that ply that route although they do not directly enter IT Park themselves. There are jeepneys that do enter IT Park (often coded with 17B or 17C or 17D) but do not go to Cebu Business Park but they can serve as layover trips. - Best advice i can give for folks who wish to live in Cebu (as someone who has lived in Cebu myself) is to be prepared for flooding in the rainy season and water shortages during the dry season. Traffic is also bad but not as bad as Manila's and things often stabilize after 8:30 pm. - Know the shortcuts. Not just around IT Park and CBP but all across the city. Know which parts to avoid for safety or hygienic reasons or both. If you're going to the public market in Carbon or in the fish markets in Tabo-an, be extra vigilant. Know every alternative route you need to take in the event flooding renders you stuck. - Living in Cebu is cheaper than Manila but still relatively expensive compared to other cities in the Philippines i have lived in or went to, and with a lot of trade-offs. - Whenever i travel to Cebu for leisure, i don't take the cab all the way to IT Park from the airport. I take the MyBus to SM City from the airport and go straight to IT Park from SM City via cab. It saves me at least PhP 80 that way, depending on the time of the day.
Thank you for sharing this nice video
Wow! The view from calyx is really nice
