I don’t live there, but I was stationed in the Philippines for a few months while I was in the military, and I can answer this...
In my opinion the food there is terrible. Japanese food is way better..I’m more of a white meat chicken guy, but it seemed like most the meals there that have chicken in it is dark meat.
Also our chicken in America is filled with so many steroids, that the chicken there taste a little funny to me. I imagine that the chicken in the Philippines is how it’s supposed to taste without all the artificial shyt we put in ours.
I mainly ate Jollibees and other fast food places while I was there. The only local food I could stand over there was Lumpia..basically a Philippine egg roll
everything
@Tommy Knocks is saying is correct though. While I was there, I was in Angeles City (I think it’s a suburb of Manila) and they were nice folks. They had us in a rural part called Crow Valley as well where people are dirt poor..no running water, no electricity and they live in tin shacks, but those were the nicest people I’ve ever came across in my life.
The night life is fantastic, but I’m sure it’ll get old quick if I actually lived there. I wouldn’t mind spending the rest of my days there like them old Vietnam war vets
my only complaint about the Philippines is the weather. I thought Georgia was hot and humid as hell in the summer, but that shyt is on a whole other level over there. I’d never be outside in the middle of the day in the Philippines.
sorry for jacking your thread mane
@Tommy Knocks i just wanted to share some of my experiences there.
