I am considering going to live in Cebu but first i will take a trip there to see what its like. Can anyone who lives in Cebu or has visited the place recently give me some advice about the place?

Such as visa requirements for retirement; prices generally; best area to live and for rental; supermarkets; medical facilities; beaches; the gay scene; the weather and so on.

I understand that as a retiree living there permenantly any income received from abroad is not subject to any phillipine taxes, is that correct?

Thanks in advance for any input.
