This is exactly what I needed. The listing confirmed the 'general' range for Cebu. I know I will need to do the 'boots on the ground' once we get there. We will be staging out of Eastern Samar upon arrival. This provides one of the tools I really needed. Thanks, appreciate the help.

Thinking about your post last night, I have a friend who rents 2 bedroom units in Talisay in your price range, I will send the information to you via private message since I do not wish to break the rules by advertising.

Hey Bud what area of MM you living? I'm in the Northern part near Fairview and can still get a 2bdrm apartment for less than half the amount you mentioned. Just curious.

That was back in 2013 in Muntinlupa when I was in the condo right before you enter Paranaque just off of SLEX on the East Service Road.  We have a house since then located in Brgy BF Homes near the SM City BF.  Deeper in to Paranaque there would have been less expensive places but hey, I am not in to being so crowded.  And noisy.

Have a friend who lives in Las Pinas.  The PhilAm and BF homes mixed areas.  I do like that area.  Really wanted to move in that direction when I came here.  Then I met Tina and everything changed.  If things ever changed and Tina was open to leaving Samar...that's the first place I am looking for a home.

Attempting to finalize our relocation (April/May). I am looking for ideally a long term rental of one year with potential for five in the Leyte, Cebu, southern Samar area. Preference is for an apartment or small house (min of 900 sq ft.) Budget is 12,000PHP per month. Anyone know if this is reasonable or if anyone knows of available properties. Thanks and advice is always welcome!

p12,000 is incredibly high budget for the areas you are mentioning! Ha ha. That is 6 times what we pay in Manila!
