Brilliant . Nice place and nice to see your trying to keep it that way . You can't buy peace n quiet tranquility and good friendships. Good work guys .
Its nice your inviting newcomers to join your group/think tank. i particularly can not stand drunk talking or bullshit story tellers. your area sounds very appealing.
I've considered Cavite, but have settled on Davao for now. Close to a great hospital and a reliable electric grid and internet. Also a lot of western amenities and local markets. I hope to visit you and the guys one day.
Was wondering where to plant my feet once l arrived to live. Cavite sounds like a great place to get my start in the Philippines while l travel around for first year. Thanx for your insight as always Steve. 🙏🖐
Looking forward to seeing your area when I get back.. I would consider renting one of those places you feature in your videos...thanks for your information...looking forward to having a bbq with you and the family
Thanks man, we need more vloggers like you showing us what the prices are in different areas of the Philippines. Cavite does look very cheap, and the proximity to Manila is interesting. I would think you could find similar prices in suburbs of other major cities of the Philippines too.
We are just a hop away from you in Antipolo/Teresa. We own our own property and charge our tenants PP21,000 pcm for a four bedroom house in a gated community. We are also at quite a high elevation, so there's no need for aircon. I agree with you that being in this area - we are 1-2 hours from Manila depending on traffic - is ideal.
Sounds great definitely will check that area out as my asawa is from Quezon City and wouldn't be to far away from her family and all the western amenities. That we like. Planning to retire there thanks for sharing. Geoff
The closer to Tagaytay the higher the rents and heavy traffic. I am in Silang, between Dasmarinas and Tagaytay. . .less traiffic but 15-20 minutes either way. Hospitals, schools, and other amenities. Love it for 13 years.
Excellent points, don't drink to get drunk it's not healthy for anyone respect the Philippines and the Philippines will respect you ! My co worker Andy from Cavite ,best friend I could hope for. Yes still working on my SRRV ,,someday soon
I just don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere. On the other hand I don't want to live in makati. I see these foreigners living out in the country. That's a hard life. Living in the big city is annoying due to all the traffic and pollution.
Thank you for this information. I really do appreciate it. I am just waiting to leave Thailand and relocate to the Philippines for the rest of my retirement as soon as possible. I must have a nice new unfurnished 2-3 bedroom place for around 15,000-20,000 pesos per month, and it must also be a quiet place (no loud music or karaoke aloud on the premises. Any additional information that you could give to me would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I am single with no intensions of marriage.
Thanks for the info on your place Steve. May I ask if Trece Matires is a city with high elevation? Do you need much aircon there? How is the power supply? Do they often have brownouts there? I've hears some nice places in the PH have patchy power supply. What is the internet like there? Fast or patchy service? Thanks
Sounds really nice . Could you show a little more of the inside of the place? Also, do they rent month to month or do you have to get a 6 to 12 month lease? As always, thanks for the great video
I feel very safe in Thailand 🇹🇭 :I love to see the Philippines 🇵🇭 .but if there a lot of crime it would put me off .plz god some day I get there 🙏 . THANKS .
I hear you but my gf lives in Mandaue and wants to move to Lapu2x if we can afford to buy or build a house. Your usual 2 bedroom 1cr preferably in village with security.
@@MrSteven5975 - The rent prices in Trece Martirez are nice. After you mentioned the average rent for a 1 or 2 bedroom in Trece, it is tempting. Tagatay weather is nicer though. What is the average rent in Tagatay?
My chat mate gf is from cavite when the Philippines opens up, we will meet , thing is bout that area they have an unusual amout of beautiful women, my gf is 50 ish and just strikingly beautiful
Are they still working on new Clark city. My girlfriend is in central Luzon and I heard that the government was going to have alternative offices their and perhaps immigration services. Do you have any updates on this. Thank you.
Steve I am single retire Canadian looking for a place to get away from the severe Canadian winter I am looking at 1972 1973 I will love to meet up with your girl and you I drink socially just started looking at your blogs I will keep in touch I will need a few good friends . Take care and I will keep in touch with your girl and you keep safe.
Hello I know this is a little older video, but aside from low rent how is cost of living in this province? It's relatively close to Manila so are prices for every day items higher than Dumaguete?
Hello, first I would like to that you for a great video! May I ask how the Cavite area would work for someone visiting for vacation? I have a dream to sometime in the future spend half a year in the Philippines after I retire, but that is far time in the future for me. I am 49, and dont expect to be able to retire early because of a divorce. I have never used drugs, smoked or even been really drunk so I really do look for a party scene, but as I would travel alone friendly locals, sweet girls and decent food is high on my list. I also like to sometimes help people who are in need, so I also would like to ask if there are some squatter areas that is not too dangerous for a white guy to walk around in alone. I have made walks to help and feed homeless in Cebu city, but did not manage to go to the areas where the people needed my help the most. I tried once and almost got robbed, and leared that there are places you should not go alone if you are not a local.
New to your channel. May I ask are you Steve Johnson? If so, John Wales recommended me to your channel. My girl is in Quezon City, we are looking to move somewhere later down the line. Cavite or somewhere reasonable. Thx sir
Looks like nice area. However why the big push on getting expats to live near you. Yes it will over time become an expat community and some the expats will complain too many expat live here time to leave. If a hidden gem ,why not keep it a secret ??
Cavite has some pluses. It really depends on what you want. But traffic can be very bad. Cavite area 501 sq miles, population 4.3m. My US home county 700 sq miles, population 34.2k. Maybe it's just my perception?
Steve I am waiting for covid to be over , then I will come Unfortunately I am from WA Perth and we are really strict on travel at the moment The place you are showing looks ideal I am on a pension with a small savings of $22000 Can I survive I no what you are thinking 🤔 is he a big drinker and woman chasers The answer is no
Depends on how small of a pension? Also depends on your life style and how much you want to travel around. 1k a month and you can live in a 1 bedroom or studio with wifi and AC going 24/7 and eat decent. You can't go out every night but you can once a week. You can take some local trips every couple a months. Now if you want a GF your expenses will go up to 1.5k to 2k. It all depends on your life style.

If you throw in a free ROOSTER...
I will be over there tomarrow.
I was born and raised in Cavite .. you should see it back when it was a lot nicer and quieter than now .. proud to be Cavitenan!!!
Steve, this is valuable info!
Thanks
Awsome apt., great views. Cool windows as well. Great tour.
Thanks for the tour. Very nice place. You do great work Steve!
Brilliant . Nice place and nice to see your trying to keep it that way . You can't buy peace n quiet tranquility and good friendships. Good work guys .
Great info Steve, I think I would fit in your group when I'm there , a 60 yr old non drinking history buff .
So is your thumbs-up an invitation to join your group 🙂
Its nice your inviting newcomers to join your group/think tank. i particularly can not stand drunk talking or bullshit story tellers. your area sounds very appealing.
Wow, amazing the rents can be that low there in such a nice area. I'm on Leyte and sure do miss the western amenities you're right about that.
Check out the different areas around Dasma, they can be cooler with breezes making the climate much nicer. Saves a bit on aircon.
Great videos. Thanks
I'm so bloody jealous 😥😥😥😊
Lol
Great video...your very helpful to incoming expats..👍. I hope to be there some day
Great advises and in agree with you .. stay positive is a must
I've considered Cavite, but have settled on Davao for now. Close to a great hospital and a reliable electric grid and internet. Also a lot of western amenities and local markets. I hope to visit you and the guys one day.
I looked at Davao. I saw what happened to them when the pandemic hit. Many places to live got crossed off my list.
I totally agree with you,it’s beautiful there
As usual good info..Steve.
Was wondering where to plant my feet once l arrived to live. Cavite sounds like a great place to get my start in the Philippines while l travel around for first year. Thanx for your insight as always Steve. 🙏🖐

Excellent VIDEO 📹 👏 👍. Be there in September/October hopefully 🙏 🙏 🙏.
The moment they finish the LRT extension that passes through that area rents will surely go up.
One more headed your way in September my friend lives in Carmona so will be looking in that area to start.
Good video pal. U sound like you're from New England. Am I right? I'm from NYC hehe. Im gonna check that place out. Ortegas city is closer tho no??
Great
👍🏻👍🏻‘s up!
Gated communities here are generally safer, more peaceful, and organized than the common barangays.
Excellent points, don't drink to get drunk it's not healthy for anyone respect the Philippines and the Philippines will respect you ! My co worker Andy from Cavite ,best friend I could hope for. Yes still working on my SRRV ,,someday soon

There use to be a US Naval Air Station there. I think it was called Shngelly Point (sp)
Hi Steve I heard Cavite is a flood prone area. ???thanks for sharing.
Not in Trece

That’s easy in General Trias !!!
Cavity is nice in general, I’d pick it over metro Manila depending on how far work is

You mentioned churches. Are there any Protestant churches in that area. They are hard to find in most Asian countries. Place looks really nice.
Yes !!! Very plentiful
$80 per month is a insane steal!
Sounds really nice . Could you show a little more of the inside of the place? Also, do they rent month to month or do you have to get a 6 to 12 month lease? As always, thanks for the great video
I showed this one in a few vlogs. They will do 6 or 12 month leases.
@@MrSteven5975 ooops, ill vote back and check it out. Thanks
Great info,how much to buy an apartment your in ?
Steve are those new glasses that you are wearing? They look really cool. Maybe do a short video about buying eye glasses in the the Philippines......
I have many glasses. They are cheap here
I feel very safe in Thailand 🇹🇭 :I love to see the Philippines 🇵🇭 .but if there a lot of crime it would put me off .plz god some day I get there 🙏 . THANKS .
I hear you but my gf lives in Mandaue and wants to move to Lapu2x if we can afford to buy or build a house. Your usual 2 bedroom 1cr preferably in village with security.
Any recommendations on hotels/short stay accomodation? Airbnb doesnt show much.
Bayleaf is close and nearby
How's the rentals along the ocean
There are rentals in Batangas that are on the ocean cheap.
How would you rate Tagatay?
Excellent but a bit expensive
@@MrSteven5975 - The rent prices in Trece Martirez are nice. After you mentioned the average rent for a 1 or 2 bedroom in Trece, it is tempting. Tagatay weather is nicer though. What is the average rent in Tagatay?
My girl friend works and lives in Dasmariñas. Thats where i want to live.
What is it now for rent in october 2023?
Varies on the place
300 dollars isn't cheap for me lol
What!
$300 is pocket change!
What!
$300 is pocket change!
300 dollars won't even get you a 1 bedroom apartment in the states so what is cheap for you?
Get a second job 🙂

I believe it’s being built still and finished in some areas

Hello I know this is a little older video, but aside from low rent how is cost of living in this province? It's relatively close to Manila so are prices for every day items higher than Dumaguete?
Not much
Wonder if they wanta sell that rooster
I plan to rent a house in March 2022
Steve where is that is Cavite. I'm coming home and I need a place. Thanks.
It’s Cavite Province and not the town. It’s just South of Manila.
Those window grates should be HINGED, with latches easily released from INSIDE! Fire escape, anyone?
Cement is hard to burn.

Cavite Province is very nice in many areas
Are you the one we were talking to last January 3 at the immigration in Robinson Dasma? A German.
Not me
No negative Nancies!
Or Karens or Ken’s !!! Lol

Email me at steven5975@yahoo.com for my phone number
Thank you, I will write you as soon as I can. You and the family have a nice evening
How does Laguna compare?
Still cheap in pockets
@@MrSteven5975 Thanks mate. Was looking at that area ages ago.
Looks like nice area. However why the big push on getting expats to live near you. Yes it will over time become an expat community and some the expats will complain too many expat live here time to leave. If a hidden gem ,why not keep it a secret ??
Trust me, they can be absorbed here.
Is bulacan near there...I be looking for a great apt that cheap, salamat po
I believe Bulacan is north of Manila. Trece Martires is south.
Cavite has some pluses. It really depends on what you want. But traffic can be very bad. Cavite area 501 sq miles, population 4.3m. My US home county 700 sq miles, population 34.2k. Maybe it's just my perception?
Too bad Laguna lake is so polluted now.
Steve I am waiting for covid to be over , then I will come
Unfortunately I am from WA Perth and we are really strict on travel at the moment
The place you are showing looks ideal
I am on a pension with a small savings of $22000
Can I survive
I no what you are thinking 🤔 is he a big drinker and woman chasers
The answer is no
Depends on how small of a pension? Also depends on your life style and how much you want to travel around. 1k a month and you can live in a 1 bedroom or studio with wifi and AC going 24/7 and eat decent. You can't go out every night but you can once a week. You can take some local trips every couple a months. Now if you want a GF your expenses will go up to 1.5k to 2k. It all depends on your life style.
I have many videos on what it takes to live well here. Another one tomorrow
Nick how much your fortnightly pension in Australia?
Us expats need a special budget for the booze and ladies. If you know what I mean.
Have the gov changed the pension rules if your living overseas Nick ..
I hate roosters.
You don't want drunkards there, we gonna be there anyway.
Thank you for popularizing the place.
