Additionally, you can ask friends and family for recommendations.

"I lived in Pasay/Malate first because it was close to my first Uni course. Found the building (Asiawealth Tower) on the net. Second condo was just outside Valle Verde 1, recommended by someone who I knew. Much quieter and richer area. I didn't enjoy it as much. A car would be helpful if you decide to live more than walking distance from the LRT/MRT," remarked another expat in Manila, Philippines.
