I lived in the Phiippines for a year. It's definitely doable for $2000 a month. In fact you can have a very nice lifestyle there on $2,000 month. It just wasn't for me. I wanted to be closer to my family.
BTW, everyone in the Philippines speaks English. Some not so well, but you can get by pretty much every where except when the police stop you for some phony violation trying to extort 300 pesos from you. They'll keep saying, "no English, No English" until they want you to know something then they'll tell you in English but when you reply, they'll go back to "No English, no English."

If little things like that don't bother you, you'll love it there.
