Wishing to find sites that have the real facts about cost of Living and the going-ons in the Philippines?

I looked at the sites of Philippine Living Island Paradise, Living in the Philippines3, #1, #2, Retire in Philippines, Philippine dream & #1, cebuxxx.. and Street wise xxx.. and found by reading the postings that listed owners and/or mediators and/or including members are the same in these sites that talk like the Philippines is the next best thing to come a long in the last 300 years since the discovery of the Americas. I am wishing to find the real facts about today's cost to live and the going on's-in-the-Philippines. Not just Marketing people trying to lure people in and who maybe paid for. Please help if you can.
