If you do own a car--yes, overpriced--and don't have a driver, you'll likely want to kill someone within a day or two. Rules of the road? What is that?
You can add polluted (in greater Manila), abject poverty, poor education, political corruption etc. it has them all. But many areas such as Makati and Ortigas are totally modern with clubs, malls, restaurants and such that you'll experience in every major US city. The people in general are extremely friendly and willing to help.
Your money will stretch farther overall but certain things are just as expensive or even more in some cases.
Of course if you're here to chase young girls, it's easy to take advantage if that's your thing. But right away you realize these young women have no overblown sense of entitlement like many females on the other side of the Pacific. Many of them are just trying to survive in a society that has little use for poor young females.
It's not a place for everyone but most people will be surprised how their opinion might change if they visited.
