Hi Jim,
I'm looking to move there too (possibly not to Dumaguete though). From everything I've read, and what people in PI have told me, it's much cheaper to sell your things and buy what you need there. Also, the things they have there are better-suited for the climate and getting service (appliances) could be an issue, etc. I'm planning on moving with a few day's clothes, my MacBook, a wireless access point, and a couple of cameras. That's it.
But maybe I'm a bit extreme.
