Honestly, my two biggest issues with the Philippines is the internet is just atrocious. It is completely unreliable and at times your connection speed is totally random. And the brownouts were a big problem for me. It always seemed to catch me right when I forgot to save a project I was working on and I would lose it. Or progress I made on a video game was lost, things of that nature. Just frustrating really... but the worst part about it is that it shut off my AC haha.
