    Do both. Add them together then half it and round it up to the closest whole number.

    For some folks there is huge difference between visiting, as a tourist or living here, as a resident. The usually find that out at a later date.

    Is 1 the lowest or highest?

    I understand that Jake but not everyone on here has lived in the Phils, so it was more of a general question to all. Maybe I should have defined it as visiting only.

    1 is the lowest, 10 is the highest but perhaps that's confused people by number 1 being at the top.

    Perhaps we should scrap this. It's giving out the wrong readings.

    Maybe 10 is the highest in the northern hemisphere and 1 is the highest in the southern hemisphere.

    We lived in Pundaquit (Zambales), a small fishing village with not too much to do other than fish and drink cold beers.....

    It wasn't me ! I think I put 7.

    I like living there. Being a 'tourist' means I have to come back here, just when I'm beginning to enjoy myself.

    Close to the top of the tree for its people ... among the friendliest cultures on Earth, as far as I'm concerned.

    Is that the only resort in Pundaquit? I was looking on the internet for somewhere to stay but couldn't find much so plumped for Subic Bay. Also, is that one of the beaches the surfers surf at. I know San Narciso is one of them.

    I take it Jake your rating of 1 really meant 10/10?

    When we first went there we were one of only 2 resorts, ours and Capones Beach Resort, now there must be 10 x resorts but the standards are not so good. We were there last year and couldn't believe how quickly the place had developed. Yes, you can surf off Pundaquit...

    I think it all depends how you want to live. If you want a retirement style lifestyle and have the pension or income to do it, Palawan is fantastic, just do not get ill lol, great hospitals but expensive and hard to get private healthcare. Education is not great even in the private schools if you have a "new" young family. We will keep our farms there and the beach lot we have purchased but I am taking the family down to New Zealand to educate our children but will almost certainly look to retire back there in 10 to 15 years providing they do not ruin the island with developments
    Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy

    if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!
