Here it is getting people willing to commit for at least 6-12months (most houses require 1year lease but obv you can nego that) and the 2p2 expat community is much smaller, getting a nice house in a cool location that people will agree on long term.
Pros are obviously not needing to do border runs and then you have all the stuff that is basically personal preference like language and culture, Thailand/Philippines is an apple/oranges kind of thing but the mainstream settle in Thailand so it depends what kind of person you are.
Prices will be similar but extremely varying depending on location.
With good advertising you will be able to set one up here though. There might be some houses running in Cebu atm we don't hear a lot from them here, I've heard they have threads at p5. You might be better off contacting them who have first hand experience. Good luck
