Hi gorio my husband, son and I lived in Bohol 1 year and 8 months already. My husband is an Australian. Hope you will be enjoying living in Philippines... cheers!
I lived in PI for 10 years way back, 1986 thru 1996. Go back regularly, just finished new house after earthquake fractured original family homestead. Will probably be back fulltime Dec '14, hopefully.
Pros it had a nice feel when I was there. Cons your a bit remote, although Cebu is only a couple of hours away if you need a bit of civilisation once in a while.
Pros lot of nice people and lot of nice places to go if you like swimming and other nature related stuffs if you like that. Cons yes it is remote but 2 and a half hour driving is really nothing for us if we want to go to tagbilaran city and just drive back in the afternoon. There is 1 hour fast ferry to go to Cebu City and 3 and a half hours RORO ferry if you want to bring your car to cebu city.
Gorio, we (my wife and I and one on the way!) just love Bohol. I have lived in Phil 7.5 years, but Bohol is the last stop. We live in Tagbilaran City and ride tricyles. I am convinced it is cheaper than owning a car. Good restaurants, pleasant climate and friendly people are here.
