Cristina and I want to know more about Morocco and plan a future trip to spend a month exploring. We are looking forward to travelling on the fast train out of Tangier. We don't have fast trains in our home country of Canada - so looking forward to experiencing fast train travel in Morocco.

Ha ha - We are not Cano po - we are Canuk.

Thank you for letting me know the name of the market! We always like to visit the local market where-ever we go to pick up fruit. We don't have these kind of markets in Canada and enjoy visiting them in Philippines very much. I will put in a link to reviews of Palao Market. Cristina and I loved our stay in Iligan City!

Thanks for the correction and information! The video description has now been edited accordingly.

Ha ha - every school should have one! Probably just make us all better swimmers, boat builders and bridge designers.

Cristina is Canadian. She emigrated to Canada from Muntinlupa, Metro Manila to Metro Vancouver in the early 80s. I don't know what is entailed to travel to Portugal on a Philippine passport.

Both cities are friendly and interesting. Philippines has so many beautiful places and it's possible to get around on many forms of transportation, some that we don't see in North America. Wishing you a great trip!

Glad you like the video. We really liked Liloan and plan to come back to Southern Leyte to explore the area a bit more.

Thanks! I will tell my Mom.

Glad you liked it!

We had fun in Iligan meeting friendly people and walking around. It is a beautiful place for sure!

Thanks Gabby!

Cristina and I spent time on Siquijor Island in 2018. We loved it! We should go back again. You are lucky to have such a beautiful home land! th-cam.com/video/LnqNzSWIkyE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nGhHbu1mZ5_hxizc

Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed the video!

Hi - To go from Tacloban to Allen by aircon bus it cost us about 600 pesos each. We got the bus at the station across from Robinsons. The actual price is around 500 pesos each - but we also paid an additional 100 pesos to the porter that took us to the correct bus and helped us get accepted. We were very happy to pay 600 pesos each. The bus we got on goes straight through to Manila - but we got off in Allen and took a tricycle to our hotel. You can also take a van to Allen from Tacloban - but we did not want to wait. Hope that helps. Happy travels!

@@joefoyvideos it helps a lot thank you🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for pointing the location of the Beaver out! We enjoy watching That Philippines Life channel very much - and will be visiting the Beaver next time we are in Roxas for sure!

Thank you very much for pointing out my mistake in misnaming the Quince Martyrs Plaza as Rizal Plaza. I have now taken time to read a little about the 15 Martyrs and have posted a link to the story. I appreciate you bringing them to my attention and will seek to learn more. In answer to your question - No, Cristina was not born in Naga. Cristina was born in 1960 in Pasay, Metro Manila. Cristina's mother was born in Naga in 1922. Thanks again for setting me straight!

Hi Gab - great to hear from you! looking forward to when we see each other again!

Good advice! We have never thought of where to sit in the bus other than for the view. Now we know - thanks!

No - we are not in CDO now - we are back in Metro Vancouver, Canada. We'll be back in Philippines next year for a couple months or so.

Puerto Galera has a lot going for it. We think this will be a good choice for our future trips as well. Lots to see and do and a great place just to relax. We are really happy that you enjoyed the videos. Happy travels!

You are welcome. We enjoyed Iligan very much!

Driving a motorbike looks like a ton of fun - and also great for going places that buses, taxi, Grab, vans, jeepneys, or tricycles don't go - with stopping along the way or side trips any time you like. But a bike is not for Cristina and I in Philippines. I have never driven a motorbike in my life. When we we travel outside of North America we always take the local buses, trains, vans etc. In North America for road trips we generally drive and camp. Car camping for paved roads and 4X4 for back roads. In our home city of Metro Vancouver I commute to work on an electric bicycle - and Cristina takes the Skytrain. For day to day stuff we will take the car or Skytrain and bus. One thing about taking public transit in the Philippines is that you sure do meet a lot of people along the way - way more that you would meet in Canada.

Thank you!

Hello there! We always enjoy our time in Naga city.

You are welcome po. Cristina and I enjoyed our time in Iligan and look forward to our next visit when we can explore more.

Both of those places were highlights of our Philippines travels this year. People in both of those locations were super friendly and helpful.

To go from Tacloban to Allen by aircon bus it cost us about 600 pesos each. We got the bus at the station across from Robinsons. The actual price is around 500 pesos each - but we also paid an additional 100 pesos to the porter that took us to the correct bus and helped us get accepted.

You can also take a van to Allen - but we did not want to wait. Hope that helps. Happy travels!

Busted. That is awesome. Cristina and I are both Canadian. I am Canadian born and grew up deking around stuff - but did not know that deke is a tell, like toque. But now we know -- thanks!

You are probably right. Cristina and I have a few eatery strategies when on the road going from town to town. We generally eat where the locals eat. And we generally don't eat in an empty place. I figure those two strategies were a big part of keeping us both healthy over several months of in travel the Philippines - without fail.

Scratches in plastic dinnerware are not the easiest to sanitize in lukewarm water using a substandard dish washing liquid and done by someone trying to hurry.

But the US trained department of health people would shut down every single eating establishment in the Philippines.. What ya gonna do?. Just trust and have some faith maybe.

Very happy to hear that you found the reviews useful! Thank you for the encouragement and good luck and the best of times on your next trip to the Philippines.

Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed the videos. We will be back in Philippines starting January or February 2025. Between now and then we will post a few videos of adventures in Canada and some throw-back videos of past trips in Philippines. Wishing you the best of times on your Philippine travels!

Yes - preparing to go home is a busy time. When we arrive in Philippines we bring along a 50lb balikbayan box each full of pasalubong gifts for friends and family. When we head back to Canada we fill up those empty boxes with pasalubong for friends and family in Canada. The filling of the boxes is a fun and super busy time for sure.

Ha ha we enjoyed that ride too! Thank you so much for all the positive comments - it keeps our energy high to make more videos. As always - glad you liked the video!

Hi Gab! Say hi to the Bayanan Barkada for me and tita Cristy. Miss you all.

Baybay Beach and Roxas are super interesting. Baybay is a great beach. Not crowded. Lots of eateries. Good value and abundant accommodations. Fun city to walk around. And of course - friendly people.

We have been together for 35 years.

@joefoyvideos Beautiful 😍 my friend. Yah look like yah have that old couple vibe thats y i asked that question lol. Reminds me of my great grandma n my great grandpa. Keep those great vids coming

@@theghettotraveler347 Ha ha - yup. Cristina and I almost don't need to speak much. One look and we know what the other is thinking. We love to hear the other laugh though. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement - will keep vids coming for sure.

We really love that place.
