My girlfriend lives in Caloocan City in the MNR but cannot get decent broadband or TV services. The former may be due to her area and the latter due to expense. I need good broadband and good TV reception. Does this mean by satellite for TV?
I have been reading that moving to outside Manila is far cheaper. My girlfriend would like to be close to her family in Caloocan City. Any suggestions where to live on a pension income of around $1,100 that is reasonably close to Manila would be helpful. I would need 3 bedroom accommodation.
Thanks for any assistance.
