http://www.LivingInthePhilippines.com is the ORIGINAL, first Philippines Expat site on the Net, since 1989. This is not one of many knock-offs, copycats, imitations. Some have permutations of the names, misspellings and "in" and "the" or "ing." left off to deceive you. This is the original, by: Don A. Herrington

COST OF LIVING IN OLONGAPO, SUBIC CITY, PHILIPPINES
Olongapo, Subic City, Free Port Area
This, below, came from an excellent site for those considering moving here and for other information.The last update of this cost of living was 2001. As of April 2003 the peso has further devalued. And though prices on imported goods are generally the same or more expensive in dollar terms, more inexpensive products from China are available at very low prices. Also, I feel rent has declined in dollar terms. Information below is from the Retired Affairs Office, Olongapo. Do visit their website, especially if you are military and even if not.
Data assembled 4/95; some items updated January 2001 for peso devaluation.
