- IT Park Philippines, also known as Cebu IT Park, is a master-planned development located in Lahug, Cebu City, Philippines. It is a 24-hectare mixed-use business park that serves as a hub for information technology and business process outsourcing (BPO) companies.
IT Park Philippines was developed by Cebu Property Ventures and Development Corporation (CPVDC) in 2000, and has since become one of the premier IT hubs in the country. The park offers a variety of amenities, including office buildings, residential condominiums, retail spaces, and recreational facilities. It is also home to a number of multinational and local companies in the BPO and IT sectors.
Aside from its business-focused offerings, IT Park Philippines also boasts of a landscaped central park that serves as a green space for its tenants and visitors. It features jogging paths, biking lanes, and outdoor exercise equipment, as well as a variety of dining options, convenience stores, and other services.
Overall, IT Park Philippines plays a significant role in the country's economic growth and development, providing a conducive environment for businesses to thrive, and contributing to the creation of employment opportunities for Filipinos.
The noodles is called japchae. I specifically spent a month in IT park to eat there every day. Not crowded before 11am and 2-4pm. My favorite combo is bulgogi, egg, fresh kimchi and bean sprouts and seaweed soup. I skip the rice so sometimes they let me have a 3rd veggie. Really great value…they can tone down the salt imo.
Yeah. The soup was salty but tasty:)
@@CarefreeChris I like the tray too! Like a military cafeteria!
Chillin eh😅😮
Great vid
Thank you:)
interesting food...Fresh??? Modern plce
Yeah. I ate there again last night. Really inexpensive and the food is good
Thanks Chris, for showing us around CEBU and within the surrounding areas outside CEBU. Want to join you and some new guys and form a U.S. expat support group within CEBU in the future. Not sure if there is one already but it would be great for new comers visiting Philippines.
I’m planning on that exact thing. As i meet more and more expats. Would love to setup a weekly meetup with folks. I think it’s so key especially when you first get here to have a resource of folks to talk about what’s going on and ask any questions. I’m exploring options now and looking at possibly a facebook group
I was thinking the same thing. Meeting for golf, bowling or shooting some pool would take some of the anxiety of moving to a new country away.
Yummmm! The metal trays give strong prison vibes, though. 🤣🤣🤣
lol right
Nice vlogs😊
Thank you. I’m still learning but getting there
Thanks Chris! I use to live in Korea and love Doc tori tong, seaweed soup is la-mi!
So good!
Good video…you will definitely be a LIFE…eer in the Philippines. You’re not afraid to try different foods. You are gaining so much experience in different parts of the Philippines, that most people envy you.
Stay safe and enjoy the LIFE!
That's the plan!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it
I noticed the food was so cheap for 149 pesos.. amazing and looks delicious. 👍
Yeah. Cheap, tasty, friendly environment... Love it. I'm a fan. No wonder it's so busy. I'll be going there more often for sure.
That makes me hungry!
It's so good there. Love that place.
Awesome feature of this place.
With all the fast food chains around IT Park, Barangay Seoul has been giving employees within the area another meal option without spending a lot. 👌
It’s really tasty
Nice vid, what a nice lunch as well!, and the meal works out to around 4$ australian dollars, cant get much here in Australia for that!
I know right. Cheap and tasty. Good stuff. Thanks for watching.
Stainless is hygienic n safe. Easy to clean n disinfect.
Yeah. It’s really a great place there
Nice vedio Mr Chris..it makes me hungry and envy I'm always watching your vlog.i missed phil
Food and other thing though
I bet. Hope you get to come home soon
@@CarefreeChris i wish too..thanks
I’m your new subscriber and I kinda like your vlogs because of the way you shoot your videos which is unique and I have never seen like it with other vloggers! Keep ‘em coming coz I’ll be watching all of them. Lol
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it
That was a good deal for a lunch.🍲🥘🍳
Yes. Absolutely. Was tasty too and fast
I terribly miss that place, will visit there in December. thanks for the nice video Sir Chris
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Hello Chris good p.m.hope the day is good
Thank you:)
Chris , that meal looks so good.
That is one thing I miss about Pinas, the food.
I remember tasting my first wagyu beef in Makati. And all the different types of dishes are right there in the city centers. There's little districts of different ethnicities.
My husband didn't believe me that the Philippines is more mix culturally than CA until I took him there before we got married.
I miss Philippines so much. Things are getting really bad here with so many bank failures. Crime is rising. Not where we are here in Texas.
Have a good day.
Take care there and hope you get home soon. If you can unplug from the drama, I would. It’s so toxic and something I didn’t realize until just recently how much i was impacted by the media. For me as someone who’s highly sensitive it was just to much. I’m so much better off here as I’m fully disconnected. Amping there and hope you get to come home soon
Sadly I'm in California!!
I’m in California too, San Francisco is destroyed, the places here in the Bay Area are full of homeless encampments, drugs, robberies etc horrible!!! Not to mention the high prices and taxes. Feels like California is now a third world country. All my retired Filipino coworkers are leaving California and going home to the Philippines.
Barangay Seoul is always packed , good sign that food is really good
Yes. Exactly. People out the door and indeed is lami:)
Chris, I really appreciate you using that lav mic! So many TH-camrs don’t do this. And it makes a huge difference, so thank you for making good audio.
Thank you. I actually had to buy a new one that day i shot that vid as the other one was starting to pop. I’m learning a ton but feel the audio portion is coming along. Was also interesting to hear Dan’s mic in the interview. Really like the tone of the mic when it’s mounted chest high verses at the collar. Fun to geek out on technology.
@@CarefreeChris oh yeah man, seems like you and I share that love of tech. I worked over 20 years in broadcast , editing and shooting and some audio, and I am always learning.
@@CarefreeChris yes, good to get the mic a little distance from the throat and mouth in general but not too much, but every situation is different, as you know, but like this noisy restaurant probably the closer the better to your mouth.
Yeah. It was really loud in there and I’m really impressed with this DJI wireless mic setup with a Rode lav. Good stuff. Thanks for watching. Really appreciate it
@@CarefreeChris oh nice it’s the Rode lav. No wonder so good! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing Chris!
Thank you for watching:)
Food looks good. Hope I can visit Cebu and try out that one!😊
Yeah for sure. Come check it out
Best value for your buck, you can't beat that. I'll be flying to Cebu in 3 weeks from LA. Definitely be going for the local food. Last time I was in Cebu was 2007. I'm sure a lot have changed. I've been following your channel for the month. My AirBnb is near SM Seaside. Just can't wait.
Dude. Shoot me an email for sure. Let’s grab a coffee if you’re down
@@CarefreeChris I'll try. I will only there for 3 days before I fly to Siargao. Thanks for the reply.
No worries. Siargao looks amazing. On my list for sure. Just waiting on my motorcycle
@@CarefreeChris I'll shoot you an email in a week. I just missed your Live broadcast. Hopefully I'll catch it next time.
Hi, bro…from San Miguel de Allende…nice little tour,man 10:07
Thanks for watching!
Next time try meals in the carenderia-- native food & fresh & cheaper-- not in the mall but nearby...
I agree. Some great local eateries
Thanks for sharing Chris.
Will be arriving Cebu early in June.
Nice. Email me if you like. Love to meet folks for coffee. Happy to help if i can
well done !!!
Thank you
Oh, Cebu is on its own island...
Yeah. I'm in Cebu City which is part of the island Cebu
Keep safe chris! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you:)
Nice tour of Barangay Seoul. I remember passing by a Korean place last October and it was always crowded so I never even entered. I'll be staying at the Seda there next month and will try this place at non peak hours. Great deal at 149₱.
Yes. Great place
Nice turo-turo place. All of that for $2.70 is dirt cheap. IT Park is another option for me when I get there. As much as I like soup...and coffee, I avoid getting them at any establishment as they usually use tap water. Heck, I don't even drink so-called commercial spring or purified water. I have consumed only distilled water for decades and have been making my own distilled water at home since about twelve or so years ago when I realized and decided to also avoid liquids stored in plastic...but that's another story. I see part of the selfie stick showing up at the nadir of this video; I have the same issue with my 360 cam when fully extending the stick due to flex.
Yeah. I need to recalibrate maybe. It’s not the perfect camera and hope further versions of this will perfect some of those issues. Otherwise i really love this camera and the views it offers
Good morning ,thank you chris for answering ,there one thing Good about cebu, i am reading is cebu your close to everything and has beaches close ,one thing i am worried about is health insurance, have you got any health insurance prices between the ages of 55 - 75 yrs old your subscribers would probably like that,thank you very much hope to meet you,stay safe and healthy
I have saftywing. From my understanding it’s doesn’t cover preventative care but covers the big stuff like a heart attack, cancer or emergency care.
Lami kieyo.😂 ug barato..Cute!☺️
I’m trying:)
@@CarefreeChris your good!😊
Now, I'm hungry! LOL
Yea. It was lami:)
The other dish is chapchae...korean rice noddles...try to dine there on a sunday Chris...not so crowded then...😊
Will do. Thanks for the tip:)
Hi Chris, I'm enjoying your videos. I've got an insta360 as well, how are you mounting the selfie stick on your back? Keep up the good work.
So early on in my videos i would cram it in a backpack. I didn’t like the footage though so now i just carry it. I’ll either hold it out in front or I’ll rest it on my should. I think for longer videos it’s better to give folks different perspectives throughout the video. I’m still learning but it’s been fun
@@CarefreeChris That's cool. I thought maybe you had an ingenious clamping system on your backpack for the selfie stick or something.
Saw you again Chris in IT Park while you were passing Seda Hotel towards Metrobank around 12:45pm. This is the 2nd time I didn't interrupt you, lol
Ok so next time it’ll be the third time and you know what they say about the third time being the charm. Say “Hello” :)
Even if I’m filming it’s ok. I can edit out in post or leave it in:)
That Business Place is also the BEST PLACE WHEN YOU WANT TO MEET PROFESSIONAL,WELL-EDUCATED FILIPINAS!❤❤❤ FILIPINAS who are proficient in English and most likely belong to Middle Class and Up families!! So,..feeding the rest of the family is Not an Issue.
Upper class families frown the idea of them being branded as FreeLoaders as most are Landed,have business if their own.
One of the reasons why I’m now eating there on a regular basis:)
Mann I’ve been living near IT Park since November and pass this place all the time wanting to try it, but I get too shy with the seating since it’s always crowded haha
Nice. I don’t get in IT park much but really liked this place. Really inexpensive and the food was pretty good. If you go on the off hours it’s not that crowded.
Really appreciate you watching and commenting. Noticed your channel. You have any plans to vlog again? Reach out if you like
Can you show your camera equipment and how you film while you walk around?
Yes. I did a video on just that… How do you film that? Is that a drone flying behind you? Quick vid on my equipment…
th-cam.com/video/6PRs2_QOG7w/w-d-xo.html
IT Park looks really nice, the price you pay for all this is a real joke, the people are soooo nice its amazing i love it, at that price you can eat 3 times per day in restaurants.... insane sea weed is so healthy.
It’s a great place to start your journey in the Philippines. That little restaurant is so good too. You have to time it though as the line goes out the door. It’s a regular place now. Really inexpensive and really tasty
Chris are you filming yourself from the front and back and if so what device are you using that allows you to do that? I notice from the front when you were walking you see your entire body in the video as you would if somebody was working the camera for you. But it seems somehow you are doing it on your own which is awesome if this is the case I would like to know what device allows this. Thanks and keep providing great content.
I get this question a ton. So much I made a video on my equipment. Check it out… How do you film that? Is that a drone flying behind you? Quick vid on my equipment…

You should try to visit La Union 🙌😊
Up in Luzon?
@@CarefreeChris Yes, 4 hours drives from Manila, I’m not sure 😊 It’s beautiful there.
Thanks!
Wow. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. So cool.
That’s cheap meal , decent one , here in Riyadh you’ll pay more than 200 pesos for a rice and a chicken only …. sooo cheap ☺️enjoy ur day always !!
Thank you and take care there
Hello Chris, hey I was wondering what kind of media stick are you using when shooting your videos?
Yea. I get that question a ton. So much I made a video about my equipment. Here’s a link How do you film that? Is that a drone flying behind you? Quick vid on my equipment…
th-cam.com/video/6PRs2_QOG7w/w-d-xo.html
Who is holding your camera ?
I get that question all the time. So much i did a video on it:)… How do you film that? Is that a drone flying behind you? Quick vid on my equipment…

Did the IT name have an influence in you residing in that area since your background was in IT? 😂 Lol just kidding. I like the cafeteria style but with better grub and the price isn't bad either. Was that girl hooking you up with her sister? Just kidding 😂. Looks delish and place is jam packed! Peace and enjoy!
The food was great and yeah... I too was sensing something there with the sisters. To funny. They're so adorable here. Place is packed. Said busiest times are 11:30 am - 1:30 pm, 5 - 6 PM & 1-3 AM. One thing about this area is it's a 24 hours a day due to the call centers.
On a totally unrelated topic .. what's the golf options around there? Ya know?
I don’t play but am hearing about places to golf around. I do believe there’s a course nearby
Hey Chris, Food looks good, I notice that you are alone all the time, Are you living in Cebu? Have you met a woman yet, Thanks for the vids,
I’m taking things slow. In this self discovery called TH-cam I’m learning I’m pretty conservative and cautions in the area of relationships lol
@@CarefreeChris Thanks Chris for the reply, I do understand taking it slow, The reason I asked about your IT experience is I have create a new Social App, and have a few finishing touches to do that I am bring with me to the Philippines to finish up, So looking for a Programmer there, Please stay in touch and keep the good experiences coming
Hey man
What's up:)
149.00 Pesos is cheap lunch. The noodles is called Japchai almost similar to Filipino Tanghon.
Yes. So cheap and tasty:)
My bro. is a nurse and may are Philipinos....Good hospitals there as well???
I'm still figuring out the healthcare system but I believe it's decent
Hello Chris,
The US military is gradually coming back to the Philippines. Given the influx of Americans residing there, do you think the Philippines and its women will become more Westernized? Can you observe any changes? Also, will prices increase with more Americans (Military and Non-Military or Westerners) relocating to the Philippines? Or, due to the vastness of the Philippines, will Filipina women remain predominantly traditional despite the influx of Americans? This could be an exciting topic to discuss with your TH-cam followers.
I agree. Great topic. I don’t see it happening but possibly over the next 20 years maybe. I think the culture here is strong and rooted. I see it similar to china town in San Francisco. It’s there and possibly impacts the area but doesn’t have much impact on the American culture if that makes sense
Ya seem like a nice guy ..wet behind the eyes lol. But with the principles ..good luck to ya fella. Ps I’m not advocating to be in a relationship but a good Filipina will open your eyes ..the good and the extreme bs. I’m lucky ..I have a quality middle class Filipina..don’t devalue yourself ..me think ya know your worth. Although I’m not a lover of the cargo pants …😅..quality Filipina are fashion conscious. That’s a heads up for ya.
You see me. It’s nice to be seen. Thanks for watching and the tips:) Appreciate it. Amping:)
May I ask how are you holding the selfie stick, when you are taking out your wallet and using both hands to pay the cashier?
With my third arm:). I think I used my right hand to pay and held the camera with my left. I could have also wedged it between my arm and shoulder while using hand
Hi Chris, i hope all are well ,what is the difference between business park area which I think you live and it park,whats better, and 1 bedroom in a luxury building what the cost , i will be coming to cebu in September, do you think i can leave on my pension and have a great life there my pension is 2000 usd a month, also have you checked out the bgc area ,maybe when i come to cebu we can meet and have lunch together, if your around
Yes Charles. Look me up. Would love to meet up. As far as neighborhoods, you’re good with either really. Both are really incredible and great for us to start our journey here. 2000 USD a month is good. You’ll still watch to keep an eye on your spending, but feel if you’re budget minded and a planner you’ll be just fine on 2k. I have not been to BGC yet and my understanding is it’s a little more expensive there. Plus Manila is ginormous. If you’re coming from LA / NYC it’s a good fit.
I assume September is your scouting trip. For sure let’s get together. I’m not sure what my schedule is then yet but would absolutely love to meet up.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it
Wow thats dirt cheap thats easily $15 here in the states lol
Yeah. Was cheap and good. On my list now of frequent places to go to now
You are bruce willis look a like
Lol yes. I hear Bruce all the time. As well as Hank, Vin…:)

I agree. Great price
150 Pesos?!
WOW That's really cheap
Yes. Cheap and tasty
Wow that's so cheap lucky!
Yeah and tasty too:)
that's a lot of serving for P150 pesos
I love that place. Food is really tasty too. I go there probably once a week. You do have to time it though otherwise there’s a line out the door
P149 only? That’s pretty cheap!
Yes. Really inexpensive
U know how to speak bisaya now😅
I’m learning :)
❇️ Barangay Seoul express is my go to Korean for just 149 Pesos ✅ there is a great Korean BBQ unlimited in Business Park for 499 Pesos ❇️
Nice. I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for the heads up
