You're better off sending the money and let that person find the phone that will work there. First off, you'd need to buy a GSM phone that works in the 900/1800 MHz bands, and a lot of phones in the US operate on 800/1900 MHZ. Don't bother w/ CDMA (VZW, Sprint): that dog won't hunt, just roam forever. Second, you'd need to make sure it's unlocked so that your friend can put a Globe/Smart/Sun SIM in there w/o getting locked out. The phones are not bad over there and are probably less expensive than you shipping a phone out there plus duties, unless you or a friend/relative is going over there anytime soon.

Cebu! The best area with low crime rates also. Nice are for business as well

Personally, I'd suggest Baguio City. The people there are more ethical and a lot of them are educated. Many of them are required to take an English class from second grade to their high school years. They'll only have trouble understanding you because of your accent and you'll have trouble understanding them because of theirs. The biggest thing that will be your concern is traveling around the city. Traffic is horrible (the worse thing about it, imo) and the pollution in the city gets really bad during the rainy season, as it is anywhere else in the country. Unlike being in the provinces, you do not have to be cramped in a tricycle (motorcycle with a side car) for your public transportation. They have jeeps and taxis. Unlike most places, this city is not as humid and the weather doesn't get unbearably hot. The pollution is uncomparably better than most cities in the country. The weather is very much like southern California. Perfect through and through. The thing about it is, it's not easy to get to other places such as Manila or any place further than Manila. Manila alone is 6 hours away. Despite being in a city on top of mountains, the good news is that it's not so bad there compared to anywhere else. It used to be "The Greenest and Cleanest City" from at least about 20 years ago and still is today. Low crime rates is true in Baguio city but "low crime rates" is different. You will have to watch your purse and pockets closely wherever you go in the country. Also, unlike provinces, the city can provide your needs; like a fire truck or an ambulance, an internet cafe or a Louis Vuiton purse. Depending on the neighborhood you pick, like one with a gated security; it will be very peaceful and serene for you and your family. The spectacular views of the mountains are yours for a little more $$$. It's worth it. (Check out the links I provided to see some of the spectacular views) I almost forgot to mention the rich culture of Baguio City. The natives there are very friendly. There are strawberry fields and rice fields in the outskirts of the city. The people you meet there will come from all over the country. Most of the people are there to go to school or on vacation. Baguio City is also known for its golf courses and their colorful flower parades during the summer. The city is also known as "City of Pines" and also known as "The summer capital of the Philippines". Hope that helps.

you go for Tagaytay!!!

davao city

Cebu is about the most civilized and modern area that I've noticed in Philippines. Most of the Visaya area provinces are pretty foreigner-friendly but if you need conveniences and malls, Cebu City is the way to go. Stay away from Manila metro area as they all hate each other there its so crowded and polluted. Foreigner is just another fair game there. That said, I think anywhere in The Philippines is safer than most major metro areas of USA.
6 :
I have lived in four provinces/places in the Philippines to date, and just like Ms. Honesty, I would say Baguio City is a relatively safe place to live. I lived in Baguio City for 6 years, and I cannot recall one untoward incident. People in Baguio City speak and understand English.
7 :
CEBU!!!!
8 :
Manila is safe, (main areas like makati) Majority of the people here can speak english and it is widely understood too. English is also an official language of the Philippines so if you talk to someone and just smile at you don't think he/she did not understand you Filipino people are naturally shy you just have to be patient(the elders). Its humid all over the Philippines since its a tropical country. Someone above me said the weather is like Southern California? Are you serious? California is dry its a dessert and the heat wave in SoCal is HOT HOT HOT and during winter time It gets really Cold much colder than Baguio! if I'm going to compare it to any US state Florida is my best bet its warm and humid and cool during winter time. and it rains too.. California on the other hand Has few rainfalls.

maybe. or because they fish for a living. whichever.
2 :
some people lives in their ships.
3 :
There are boat people in China, but I doubt it is because of a lack of land. China is very large and while a lot of the land is not livable, they aren't forcing people to live in the sea.
4 :
Most people in the Philippines live on the land and there is still plenty of open space especially in the province's away from the city.
5 :
I am not sure about the Philippines, but I am currently from the USA and living in China. I have lived here for 3 1/2 years off and on over the last five years and have visited almost every province in China. I have to say that there is plenty of land in China...nobody is forced to live in the sea because there is a lack of land. A lot of people in China have continued to move to the big cities closest to them. There is a big push for industrialization and if people move to big cities they have better access to health care, money, and a better standard of living. This is the reason that so many Chinese cities have populations in the millions (i.e. Shanghai). This also makes China seem more crowded and leads to the common misconception that there is no room in China. So to answer your question this is a huge country and there is plenty of land in China.

Hi, guess there are people pulling your legs on this. Usually the people who lives on water are those who live off the sea for their living. Having to go out daily and long periods, it just becomes a convenience to make living on water, home. There are those so-called "sea gypsies" who practically lives on their boat. This is more by choice than lack of land. There are sea gypsies in many countries, like in Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines. Even in Hong Kong, there are people who had made living on water their preference, being in the ferry business. They opt to stay on their boat for economy too. Hope this helps.

it is true-no one is pulling your leg-but it is hong kong they re talking about--many do live on boats there--land is a problem as is poverty--it's a fact-and no they aren't all fishermen/women--actually i doubt any are--many are from poorer areas or situations--some also are non residents of anywhere anymore--having taken flight from someplace somewhere --these people(on the boats) are the ones who do the lowest of the low jobs in china(hong kong)-the vast majority of those lw skilled-menial paying -jobs--anyway--so-there's your answer---cheers
