Davao City, already ranked as among the Top 10 Most Livable cities in the world because of unequalled peace and security, has been rated No. 7 among the best cities in the world to work in remotely.
Nomad’s List, a website which rates cities all over the world based on how ideal they are as working areas, placed Thailand’s Chiang Mai City on top of the list followed by Prague in the Czech Republic.
Davao City came in No. 7, earning the distinction of being the only city in the Philippines to be included in the Top 10 in contrast to Thailand which has two - Chiang Mai and Bangkok.
Coming in the 10th place is a largely unknown city in Indonesia, Ubud.
The NomadList rated the cities considered as the best to work in remotely by combining Internet data speed, cost of housing and food, and local weather conditions.
The latest distinction earned by Davao, touted as the largest city in the world in land area and biggest city in the southern island of Mindanao, has once again brought to the spotlight its colorful and controversial mayor, Rody Duterte, whose unique style of governance has made the city one of the safest places in the Philippines.
For years now, Davao City has served as the microcosm of what most Filipinos would like the Philippines to be, a country where people religiously observe the laws and ordinances, including the ban on smoking in public places and stringent speed limits.
