Talisay is a bustling city. Waking up early to go to work is the number one rule, since traffic builds up fast as early as six in the morning. Public utility jeepneys are the main modes of transportation in the busy city, so always prepare coins for the fare.

Talisay City, though somewhat a peaceful place, has many villages (barangays in Filipino) that are associated with drugs and prostitution. The best thing to do before moving would be to research as extensively as possible and to ask locals the locations that should be avoided. Still, this city is beautiful, and the air is cleaner than living in the main city of Cebu. It has more space and less people, and traffic is never a problem. The locals, true to their Filipino culture and characteristic, will always welcome new tenants with hospitality (and lots of food!).
