Posts: 391Short Term Apartments
I am finding it useful to search for the word "apartel" for a place that's best for over 1 week, less than a year. I've found several in Davao. Drifters Apartel is one. About $30 / day.

Posts: 463Vise Extensions
Thanks for the reports on extension procedures and costs. I been looking into long stay options in a few different countries and ran across this. Not sure how accurate it is but he really simplifies it.

If you are wanting the name and e-mail address send me a PM.

You know I tried to help you, tried to post some info that will enlighten you. Seems you're typical of alot of the newbs who come on ISG asking for help but are unwilling or unable to goggle and do some research to dig a few things up by themselves. If you had done that you would know that short term rentals (60 days or less) are very hard to find in Cebu. Manila has a much more competitive condo rental market and as such is better suited to find a place that might be willing to rent for 60days or less. Like I stated below, short term means 4 or 6 months. Most guys who stay in the Philippines for under 60 days usually stay in hotels so they have flexibility and can change cities or hotels as they see fit. Keep in mind that most places still want a two month security deposit in case you might turn out to be a baboy and tear up the place or a troublesome guest. FYI most pinoy landlords keep the security deposit and refuse to return it when your stay is over and consider it 13th month rent.
It just so happens I know a guy in Cebu that was called back to Perth for most of 2013. He has a fully furnished 2 bedroom. 2 bathroom overlooking condo that might be for rent. Too bad your sassy remarks now make forwarding his contact info impossible.
Just a personal note. If you can afford the 2000USD airfare then you should be able to afford to stay in a hotel or at the very least a pension. You want champaigne on a budweiser budget and seem unwilling to compromise. If you can't afford a hotel, delay your trip until you have saved more cash.

If you will be in the Philippines for less than 60 days stay in a hotel. If you find that expensive sleep in a park.

Once inside walk up to the white guy behind the desk to your far left. Yes I said that right, he looks and is white but he was raised and lives in Cebu. He speaks Cebuano-Bisaya exactly like a local because he is a local. He will look at your passport to check when your previous visa expires. If everything checks out he will hand you the visa extention form and you fill it out and bring it back to him and he will check it over to make sure it's compete. He will instruct you to go to window number 1 and submit the form with your passport. You sit down and wait until your name is called, this could take awhile if BI is busy. When your name is called you go back to window number 1 and they will hand you a receipt and you go stand in the payment line. You pay and sit down and wait for your name to be called to get back your passport and you are done.
Cost 3030php, but I heard some rumblings the visa extention cost might increase when BI starts to issue the longer 30day tourist visas.

The ISG software broke the link to "metromanala. Olx. Com" and to "sulit. Com. Ph". You can just go to their respective websites or Google them.

Posts: 87Condo / apartment rentals
I too am looking for shorter term apartment rentals and coming up short. Looking to stay a couple months, on a 59 day visa, and looking for a more affordable option than staying in hotel. Be sure to post if you find any options. Surprised by how little there seems to be.

Posts: 3233Visas: Staying Legally in the Philippines.
I just received a copy of Expatch. A newsletter for expats in the Philippines.
A very neat summary is provided here for all people who might be confused about the different types of visas available.

If you are an expat then you should add your name to the mailing list.
