The City I Lived in: Cagayan de Oro City
The city where I live is Cagayan de Oro. It is a first class highly urbanized city and the capital of the province of Misamis Oriental in the Philippines. It is a chartered city where governance is independent and separate from the province of Misamis Oriental.

The cost of living here is tolerable if you are a low income professional. Electricity  rates are lower than the central and northern parts of the country. Food prices are okay because of supply from nearby farms in neighboring provinces. The crime rate is low to have it ranked  as [The 8th Safest City In Southeast Asia](http://aboutcagayandeoro.com/cagayan-de-oro-ranked-8th-safest-city-in-southeast-asia/).

In all of my years living here, I have observed that the majority of the inhabitants are friendly but they show a hint of deference mostly to people showing signs of material wealth (car or estates) or in power. 

They would rather spend money on luxuries rather than spend it on good variety of food on the table. That's why the local cuisine is not as delicious as the local cuisine from the northern and central parts of the Philippines.

But if you are a foreign pensioner looking for a great place to retire with his pension getting the most out of it for goods and services, Cagayan de Oro is one of the best cities to live in.
