I totally agree...Iloilo City is one of the livable province/city in the 🇵🇭...used to be my former residence besides my hometown.Why stay in Manila where almost everything is in there.Iloilo are very soft spoken even when they are a bit angry/mad😂👍
In my opinion, their language and accent sounds the most sweetest in the Philippines 😁
I am from Cebu and I agree Iloilo is livable city. It is safer too! I was just amazed how Biance gained a lot of friends while exploring the place. It only goes to show that you and Biance are so friendly and approachable! It's so nice of Nonoy the vlogger who gave his coin collection to you as a souvenir. 😍
Wasn't that amazing of him to do! Very generous and kind
im from cebu.. and even-though the most livable city is arguable.. i really really admire iloilo city. so so so beautiful that other cities should admire.. thumbs up iloilo city 🤍🤍
Thanks to Lyancel for showing us around and also The collaboration with @Agimat_TV TH-cam check out his video he made with us here th-cam.com/video/4lVbCgQyeK4/w-d-xo.html
I'm humbled, thank you for the collab meet-up Michael & Bianca, it was fun meeting you both! :) Definitely won't be the last time, most probably when you both come back to stay in Iloilo City in the future :) Cool video too! Watched it till the end, I liked the "to be continued" outro makes me excited to watch for the next one hehehe. Take care guys! As fellow youtuber have said ~ Peace, Love & Happiness lamang! Prost! 🍻 🥂 🍷 🥭 😎
It was my pleasure showing you both around my city. 🥰 See you around! Maybe I'll bump you again on my next backpacking trip. 😁

Tatak Sen Drilon and Mayor Treñas
the refurbishing of the city actually started with Mayor Jed Mabilog and Sen. Drilon
Very well said! ❤️😀 Im just glad that majority of Ilonggos use their heads. 🤣👏
From Perth Western Australia. Awesome city. I have lots of relatives in Iloilo.
Iloilo city is very modern and among one of the places to live in nowadays, especially with numerous establishments rising in the area and not too populated, its worth the bet! ☺ And a Plus is they're very friendly people!
Very cool…!!! Thanks for the tour. I’ll be in the Philippines in a few months. I can’t wait to explore Iloilo City and meet some people there…!!! Enjoy and keep them cameras rollin’…!!!
An advance Welcome to Iloilo!🥰
Iloilo is Not a Touristy City but for sure One of the best City to live in. Modernization but always consider green spaces. Such a Livable place
It has now considered to be touristy especially by other Filipinos outside Iloilo who wished their city was also like this city.. so they visit and appreciate Iloilo city
Over a million tourists pre pandemic is not a touristy?
but one thing is for sure.. iloilo city is the next big thing.. greetings from cebu
What does it mean to be touristy? It means taxicab drivers who are scalpers; it means pickpockets, kitschy souvenir items, messy roadside vendors selling baduy t-shirts, streets littered with budget tourists like they have in those overrated tourist cities in the Philippines, certainly we don't have these, because what you see in ILOILO are quality tourists who live the life. Our tourist attractions are clean and well maintained. Yes, our city is not touristy because it's not baduy. We cater to quality tourists, conventioners, employees on vacation, incentive tours, balikbayans, retirees, and families. Iloilo is the "IT" City of the moment, the city everyone is dreaming of, the city that is on the bucket list of professionals and intelligent visitors.
Thanks!
Glad you guys liked our City's Esplanade projects. This is the continuous project of the LGU in a way to rehabilitate the Iloilo River estuary and at the same time provide public spaces for the locals and tourists alike to enjoy.

Nice walk about Mike and Bianca. Iloilo City is definitely one of the best places in the Philippines, and getting better all the time. If not for having our own place in Central Luzon and loving our location there so much Iloilo City is where I'd want to live.
Welcome to my hometown Philippines "City of Love". I left my heart in Iloilo almost 3 decades ago when I migrated to the US of A. If you consider living in the Philippines for good. Iloilo is the place. Enjoy your stay and take care.
Cool Tour Mike and Bianca looks like a cool place to chill 🆒🆒👍👍
If you ask me, you can live there. Friendly people, easy access, great food, well run City government, lots of nice schools, value heritage, mix of the old and new, City of Love...
Yes, I’ve been to that Alkaff bridge in Singapore, near the river. It’s a colorful and beautiful bridge. Pacita Abad was a great artist.
Thanks for featuring my city, the city of love, Iloilo❤
Impressive Iloilo City… wanna visit again that lovely city.
I love your drone shots! Such a beautiful city. Your fellow TH-camr was so informative! 😀
Greeting from California, USA...Love it how you keep us glued in real time and keep our attention. Unlike other couple's vlogs who upload once a week 😬. As always... looking forward to another of your vlogs before the current one finishes 😁😁😁
Thank you for visiting iloilo … and hope you enjoy… esplanade is the most beautiful garden and the cleanest area to walk.see you all guys in esplanade..ILONGGO ‘S are extremely friendly too.
I'm happy to see you visit our loving city thank you
The government should paint all buildings in the main hi-ways even the shanty houses or business that are built of nipa(vulcanizing shops), etc. to compete with bigger cities.
I sincerely hope that city planners will have the vision to convert this into a garden city that can rival Singapore. The possibilities are there.
Very impressed. Finally a place that looks to bike friendly Netherlands for urban planning ideas instead of car centric USA.
Have a nice fan in iloilo city .Place where I was living , good and nice place, take care always both of you enjoy ?!!!! See you soon Iloilo !!!??
hehe seen Agimat_TV's video earlier these week so I knew this was coming. Something friends have remarked on in Canada when they see my videos (very few) is how many strangers are yelling hi & waving to be in even a simple street recording.
Hi im from iloilo thanks vlogging my beautiful province, probably its really nice and clean
There is a spot in the esplanade where you can do fishing with tilapia.
CITY OF LOVE , I'M PROUD TO BE ILONGGO❤️
Sir agimat spotted 😍
Love how pretty this City Looks! So gorgeous 😍 Much love!❤️🇨🇦🇵🇭🇦🇱🇺🇸💕
I’ll be moving there July 2023. I proposed to my gf in the city of love this past summer. I remember doing Zumba outside on esplanade 1 and attending Catholic church there..very beautiful
Congrats! We wish the best for you both
So nice city to watch and subscribing to local vlogger too. Thanks mate for kind attitude. 👌

im from iloilo😍 and im one of your subscriber's❤
Thank you for joining our little club
Iloilo City is the most beautiful and nicest city in the Visayas and one of the most livable city in the Philippines
The nicest city in the VISAYAS? Are you sure of that. That is why Iloilo City is not among the top ten tourist city in the Philippines. If you watch the video of their downtown then may be you will change your mind. Cebu is the best as a whole for me. Many things to offer and very diverse. The landscape of the mountains of the City of Cebu is better than Baguio and it has resorts within the Metro. LMAO. That is why Cebu is the number one tourist destination in the Philippines.
Cebu has the most number of tourist among the all the cities in the Philippines. Cebu also has the best mountains and beach resorts among all the cities in the Philippines. Thus, Cebu is the best. We should based our conclusion on the number of tourist and the tourist attractions, not with our own biases.
The best city according to your opinion but not the best according to the number of tourist. Which city in the Philippines has the most number of tourist and has the most number of things to offer? Answer: Metro Cebu.
@@constructivecriticism4352 cebu has no beach.. we're talking about city vs city here not metro..beaches are in lapu2 city.. don't take away that credit from lapu2 city
@@lancefortaleza3665 it is already understandable that Cebu is a metropolitan city. If we talk about the city it should include the Metro since the airport of Cebu is in Lapu-Lapu.
The river walk is absolutely lovely 😍 🥰
Wow is a beautifull place idol very nice good bless you🙏♥️👍
New subscriber here.We decided to retire in Tigbauan Iloilo my husband place so peaceful and beautiful nature.

Oh, hey! That gray and white building behind you is where I work! Hahaha!
Iloilo City is the place I grew up. From kinder to high school before relocating to Manila for my senior high and college. It's exactly 17 since the last time I've been to the city. I'm planning to retire in 2030 and 2028 is not that far.
Just as you said and many other said too ILoilo s liveable places peoples are very friendly, and me too I'm looking forward to live again n iloilo f I have Givin a chance just for good, hope this plan of mine will be successful in the near future, stay safe God bless yu booth.

i got 3 words for the city of Iloilo....WOW! WOW! WOW!
Very nice blog
Nice to see u here in Iloilo. Enjoy the food and people. Enjoy beaches here!
Try to visit also in Guimaras Island absolutely beautiful cause I'm from Buenavista Guimaras that is my hometown,I guarantee youv'e enjoy it good luck to your stay in Iloilo.
They've been posted their short trip to Guimaras last 2 days ago, I think. Sadly, it was a very short trip, but they mentioned that they will be back maybe on the next Manggahan Festival
My house is just a few minutes from boardwalk....but I live in korea now....missing my home so much....
nice place
I'm a new subscriber. Love your videos ❤️ since you're in iloilo maybe you can visit the iloilo's summer capital called little Baguio. You'll absolutely love it there ❤️
That little BAGUIO in ILOILO is the municipality of LEON.
Food you would like to try it while your there. Batchoy in sta. barbara, Roberto's Siopao, Pancit molo, Madge Cafe in Lapaz, Ramboys Lempo,Breakthrough, Binakol na Manok, Nang Palang's buko pie, and KBL. you can't find that anywhere in the Phil.Make it worth. I miss iloilo city.Thinking to go home nextyear.Enjoy guys.
We have two videos at La Paz, Batchoy and Madges so far
@@BiancaBeyond Oh Great.! Enjoy you two.Have a great one.
Iloilo has come a long way with cleaning the Iloilo river. Establishments near it used to just dump their waste there. Good thing the government took action. I'm guessing, Vikings will be your next video? 😁
Greta comment and should have a spoiler alert!
@@BiancaBeyond Well, to be fair, I was just guessing, so technically, you're the one who spoiled it. 🤣 But looking forward to your next video man! Great content as always especially now that you're highlighting my city. ❤ Would be nice to have some cold beer with you guys.
Nahidlaw mn ko sg Iloilo city bah 🥰🥰.
please visit marikina city in NCR. they have a River park which is 11 km long it has its own mall. marikina is also the shoe capital of the Philippines.
It's a big city with the feel of a small town.
@@BatAskal true. Hidden gem in metro Manila
Plss. Visit old golf course in philippines, in santa barbara, iloilo
My Heart Beats in Iloilo City ♥️♥️💯
I've told you that Bianca resembles Marian Rivera, the most beautiful and very popular actress of GMA 7. No.1 in facebook.
The Iloilo city government is aiming to be the number 3 city of the Philippines where in reality it is already the number 1. The Iloilo seaside is uncomparable anywhere else in the Philippines.
while Manila bay specially the Roxas Blvd seaside is still rehabilitating , laying dolomite sand for the past three years but always being eroded due to southwest monsoon. It is considered now as the most fake and most expensive beach of the world, the only gated beach, fenced the stretch of the blvd.
The infinite laying of dolomite on the beach destroyed the site the environment in Cebu of which the dolomite came from.
So good vlogging about Iloilo city and good job for the Iloilo city government.
You should go back here in iloilo to see the dinagyang 🙂
I wish to go where you went, and i may need an usherette if i am alone
Dinagyang festival is the best.
i love and missed iloilo city...
Hello Michael and Bianca now Divina
Nice place, Philippines just has many many great places to live at. It is all about staying at a place where your filipina gf/wife's family located at 👍🏽💯
You guys should try kuragsoy adubo if available 🤣🙂
Welcome to my home town Iloilo city 🥰 the city of love 💕
You saying sorry for getting her age wrong is so Canadian. Canadian politeness at its best.
Haha that's true
Looks like IloIlo will overtake Cebu in the development of it's commercial & entertainment district!! But heard big projects are coming in Davao too!
I am from Iloilo City. Frankly, it would be impossible for Iloilo City to overtake Cebu. Cebu has gone a long, long way and it continues to develop still. But we are happy our local government now under the helm of City Mayor Treñas has been very active in development projects for Iloilo. He created a Local Economic Team who is in charge of inviting investors for Iloilo. Looks promising.
gising na mahirap yan malampasan ang cebu dahil nsa knila halos mga investor outside ncr
Maganda si Bianca pwede sya mag artista
i also collect coins. i even got a DOLLAR PESO when ph is still under usa. it got the ph seal with the statue of liberty at the back
Why can’t they do that in manila? Imagine the entire lenght of pasig river
Exactly. Then now, they are planning to do PAREX
They can if the really want to… most of the length of esplanade used to be shanties of informal settlers… sometimes so thick they occupy near up to the middle of the river…
@@arkandrada3305 yes, that's the major problem to other HUCs especially in NCR. Iloilo River has also Informal settlers before, and by the help of the LGU. They get rid of them and get them relocated.
Iloilo is the best city/province in the Philippines. I hope it will maintain its peacefulness which attracts a lot of investors.
Go to Payag by Pepron in coastal road!
If you guys like luxury life, stay in the Visaya or Mindanao. But if you guys want to live a simple life but decent, go to Baguio city and Ilocos Norte or anywherein the north of the country.
Iloilo the Heart of the Philippines.
put a video camera on a bike, ride the lanes, show us the city from a saddle
That true go go iloilocity 😘
I don't know if you notice the trees at the skatepark area, where there's a lot of old and torn skater shoes hanging. It looks aestheticly beautiful in the day.
Wow we hadn't noticed
Hoping to make it to Ati Atihan in Kalibo and Boracay this coming January; after watching this, I'll need to add a visit to Iloilo City to the trip. Your Vlogs show that you really enjoy living in the Philippines.
After Ati-Atihan in Aklan is ILOILO’s DINAGYANG its own version of celebrating,honoring Santo Nino.

So funny in Iloilo City 😂🤣💛❤️💜
Hey wait i live close there!
Iloilo City is the BEST!
Naunahan pa ung new clark global city wow
Iloilo is not competing with other Philippine cities, because walang magpapatalo. Iloilo's City Government has been looking up at cities outside the country because these are cities whose programs are genuine at hindi pakitang tao at hindi patalbugan ng sigaw kung sino ang nauna o kung ganito si Clark at ganoon sila o ganito kami at naiwan sila. Ganyan ang mga ibang Pilipino kaya walang narating ang mga siyudad, payabangan na lang ng kuwentuhan. Sorry. Dito na lang ang kuwentuhan ko sa yo.
You can't really compare them since New Clark Global City is a new city to be built from scratch. Iloilo on the other hand is a very old city.
It is nice to compare because in reality it is a very very competitive world. Tourism is a trillion dollar business and everybody from the lowest to the highest citizen can make money out of tourism. Vietnam is cleaning and beautifying its cities pretty fast. They have unique and beautiful places that I saw from you tubers. I see they are already ahead of the cable car transportation and their beautiful cities have no shanties which you see everywhere in the Philippines. The government should build very nice buildings for commercial renting to the poor sellers to resolve those shanties because it is not a usual sight for westerners who have the money. Westerners will be happy to see these shanties occasionally but if it is a common sight , it becomes a downer.
@@sandan778 Iloilo City likes to benchmark with other cities abroad, that's the reason it is keeps on winning awards. Tourism really is worth millions in revenue. Just this week two national conventions are being held , each with approximately 1,200 delegates coming in to Iloilo. Can you imagine the amount of revenue it will generate? So much for that. Iloilo is gaining a lot from the series of conventions taking place simultaneously.
@@wavemaker2077 That guy needs to research. .
Definitly the Most shyest, introvert softest people that barley give Feedback. I am Happy i left this City. Theres a reason why so little foreigners here .
I work in that building in Boardwalk.
Do both of you guys have a work visa in the Philippines or have an SRRV retirement visa?
Hello, Bianca is in the process of getting her dual citizenship, then when received I can apply for I think it's called 13A (I don't recall) so for now we can just continue our travel Vlog and can't work in the country until it's completed
