📍Cost of Living in the Philippines After ONE Year in The Philippines! #angelescity | Expat Budget 2025
Welcome back to The Ugly Tourist — where the beaches are hot, the beer is cold, and the relationships raise eyebrows! 🍻 After one full year of living in Angeles City, Philippines, I’m finally breaking down the real numbers. No fluff, no fairy dust — just our honest monthly and yearly budget living as an expat with my Filipina girlfriend, Dr. Ding Scamalot.

In this video, we're sharing:

💸 Our monthly expenses for rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, internet, healthcare, and entertainment

🍗 What we spend on food (including street food, restaurants, and yes — Jollibee!)

🏥 Health insurance and medical costs in the Philippines

🚖 How much we spend on Grab, trikes, and local transport

🌴 Travel and vacation costs to places like Bohol, Iloilo, and Palawan

🧾 Our total cost of living for 12 months in Angeles City

We're sitting poolside at our apartment in Angeles City, Pampanga — a hotspot for expats and digital nomads in the Philippines. This isn't a generic estimate. These are our actual costs as an age-gap couple living in the Philippines, including a cameo from none other than Foxy Oxy herself!
