Yep! I actually like Angeles City when I was there for a few months. Urban, but not highly. And it's semi-rural around the city. If you want go farther, it's rural and fresh air.
I was also actually surprised they use a lot of IoT devices in Angeles City. Here in Makati, you barely will see IoT devices even in Ayala area.
I want to go back there, just need to find a work there.
