"When moving to Makati City, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a mix of casual and formal wear, as Makati is a business hub with a vibrant nightlife. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes, as exploring the city on foot is common. Rain gear, such as a lightweight raincoat or umbrella, is essential due to the frequent rain showers. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are also necessary to protect yourself from the intense tropical sun. Pack your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be easily purchased in local stores. If you have specific brands or products you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring them along. Bring your necessary electronics, such as your smartphone, laptop, and chargers. An international power adapter might also be needed. Don't forget to pack important documents like your passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. Lastly, pack some comfort items like your favorite snacks, books, or photos to help make your new place feel like home," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Makati City, Philippines.
