Subdivision, condotel, living in the Philippines?

Instead of building a house in the Philippines; why not buying a home in a subdivision? Or a condotel for investment?
But what are the best Philippine subdivisions for Expats? Are condotels a good option?
And WHERE is the best place for living in the Philippines anyway???
