Hi great video, can you please tell me what a 1 bedroom cost in a luxury building in the best area please, thank you very much
YES, you have to be careful and smart. We live in Antipolo City in a beautiful 2br 2ba apartment for only $326. Per month. We shop at Maylor's wet market to save on the food budget. If you start shopping in the supermarket and malls, you are in trouble. Good luck to all who make the Philippines your new home.
It is coming from a guy whose family lives out in BGC
Informative as always, and you GET TO THE POINT, without annoying fluff or needless intros. That is the ingredient for EXCELLENCE in content-making.
The best reason to live in the phillipines is the people they have the friendliest people in the world not to mention the most beautiful women in the world besides being a beautiful country👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I like your vlogs. There is substance to your topics and not exaggerating. Your perspective as a Filipino born or raised in US will be helpful to our decision whether to retire or not to retire in the Philippines. Keep up the good work young man! Kudos
I just wanna live comfortably with a chick with the ability to travel around once and awile.
About safety, there is much of the "13%"ers in the Philippines.
Easy for you to say that you feel 100% safe there when yo look like everyone else and you don’t stick out like white people there
Some of those wealthy families are the reason why most of the Filipino families are dirt poor!
Hola!
I've gotta say, I realllly enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Sometimes you say some stuff that just shows your age and lack of life experience
Definitely enjoy watching these. My job is offering to relocate me to our offices in the Philippines. I would be living in BGC since that’s where the job is. I currently live in California in the U.S and it’s just getting to expensive.
Nice
Philippines is safe 👍 poverty is a shock …English is spoken , easy to get a visa …Rubbish in the street
Rent & a Taxi is cheap , European restaurants same price as Europe , ..European food in the supermarket is Expensive….3x the price of back home..
Born and raised in Mindanao, where the media set all the scary story about the Philippines. The occassions where I was grabbed and groped happened in the subways of New York. When I moved to Vancouver, I rented an apartment that turned out to be a scam. Several years later, my apartement in downtown Richmond, where it was more common to see Benzes and Bimmers than Toyotas, was broken into. Electronics and jewelries taken. So when people say the Philippines is dangerous, I ask them what grimmy side street they were intending to stay at.
I am with you 100%. Cheap is not. Unless you live in the boonies with no air con, running water ect….. Manila is not cheap, but will never move to the boonies, nothing to do there. rather stay in the USA
When I was there in 2016, I was shocked to find people buying items for Canadian full price. At least here, shops have sales.
I want to go home to live simpler and eat healthier.
As everything continues to open up post-covid I'd be more concerned as to the potential or rate of the rising cost of living in general for a current or near-future retiree. As a growing destination in terms of popularity, it would seem this could possibly become a concern for the future or a motivator for areas outside the cities or in some of the provinces to compete keeping some of the pricing points at bay mainly rents.
Lot of rich people. I cant even afford a 4runner and there are everywhere in the philippines
They must learn the pressure when it comes to education here in the Philippines coz I have experienced it myself and the ironic thing about it when it comes to foreigner we are the ones who are adjusting for them like we are Filipinos we're speaking Tagalog and dialects but why we have to speak English so that foreigners would able to understand us? The funny thing, and out of American civilization there's a misconception when it comes to the standard of beauty. In school, we were convinced to speak and learn American English coz that was one of our subject and we used that as our medium of instruction such as in Science, Mathematics, MAPEH, if there is a Filipino subject there must also an English subject and Filipino is quiet harder than of English tbh, Filipino is quiet difficult coz it's deep and very complex. Even in the Philippine government, in the senate/congress, they speak English there, whenever there are events, English is simply everywhere as long as the people are civilized but with the remote areas ofcourse you have a less expectation there that they are fluent or knows how to speak/understands English.
I’ve got a condo in Davao City. I feel so much safer there than I do in the UK. The people are nicer, the weather is better, the culture is nicer and the country is beautiful. The reason I’m retiring to the Philippines one day is because of the most important factor of all – the people. I’ve never met nicer people anywhere in the world.
Lots of Christian Protestants also.
I went to Cebu Philippines Jan 2020, amazing and cheap! Food transport, beer , and almost anything, was very cheap.
2:57 where is that in the philippines? its so beautiful.
