as someone who has been to the Phils 4 times as a soon to be retiree, with a Filipina fiancee, I think you are correct in that idea! it's a nice place. we found a great place to live in Bacolod.
Thanks for showing what's available in Bacolod. Better quality condos and better prices can be found in Thailand. i don't understand why Philippines is so expensive compared to other SEA Countries.
The value for money you receive in Thailand is head and shoulders above. The Thais know how to make a small apartment look attractive, airy, clean and comfortable. 2:47 - look at the state of those pillows, all old and yellow from the sweat and saliva of past residents. Why would you leave them out like that when you know that a potential new resident with a relatively large TH-cam channel is coming to see the place? It's the lack of professionalism and business sense which seems to be fairly common in the country unfortunately.
Really cool video, of condos and Landers... which didn't seem to busy. Go to most Costco's in U.S. and it would have checkout lines of 10 people deep for 15 registers.
great video lately G man, people need to know more about Bacolod for retirement choices!!! that first one you looked at was a great deal I thought (we did not see that one), but One Regis we did see. Elegant entry area, decent pool. We saw two units (8th floor and penthouse floor), offered by two different private owners. They wanted 45-50k PHP!!! crazy! one good thing came of that day, we got our Landers card, ha ha 😄
Never been to PI. Amazing how much some areas are well developed. I think if I ever visit I will make my base in a convenient area like these you are showing and then venture out and back from there. Hope you are doing well.
@@jdtravels5140 Rather than see a condo for the bells and whistles I'd rather see GO do pros and cons on the pricing we know that the condos are way overpriced no matter where you're at in the Philippines I rather see you focus on pricing and amenities and tell us it is worth it or not worth it
Costco sucks in Moreno Valley. The food court no longer carries supreme pizzas, salads, and baked chicken. They don’t even carry frozen yogurt. The miserable parking and long lines makes it all add up to a terrible shopping experience.
The last time i checked megaworld was having financial difficulties the storm damage from odette was not fixed in cebu the markets are in freefall and wont bottem out for many years
I’m not surprised that they have separated, I noticed the company she is keeping in her blog. Sorry I have experienced this in my life and wishing you the very best for your future.
Funny you should say that. I saw one of Maya's videos being reviewed by *another* TH-camr, and I was outright alarmed at what I witnessed, almost to the point of wanting to DM Gio directly, but he's a smart guy, I'm sure he's more than aware. Makes me worry that the Philippines will be ruined by the cancer of the west before I can get there. That was essentially the point of this guy's video...that the infection has already spread to the Philippines, and she seemed to be encouraging it. Broke my heart, honestly.
The girls trip to Siargao ? Gio took a boys trip to Bacolod. Gio is the one talking of leaving Dumaguete where Maya has family, friends, daughter's school.
sounded like she wanted it. she said he didn't trust her going to the US. The truth Gio said many times he would not take a Filipina to the US. Has nothing to do with her and trust. Fly to Guam. Get her to sign the divorce papers, done!
Hi, I have one question, Government from England saying don't investigate on Cryptocurrency,i stiil have some money there, What can I do,sorry because I disturbing you
Thanks for the showings, but I do have a question. How far out in distance would there be a gated subdivision where in I could build a home so I could have a taste of the city and a gated subdivision like a suburban area. Perhaps you could follow up and continue showing us 5 miles out 10 miles out 15 miles outside of the city they may have a subdivision available gated at that.
To all the single guys looking at these condos. What they don't tell you is if you purchase a condo in Bacolod the accociation has strict rules you have to adhere to. For instance, there is a curfew for guests you bring to the condo. They need to leave by a certain time. So me being single they would not even allow a woman to come into my condo who was not in the list. I could not believe how strict they were. Could you imagine buying a condo and they restrict who you could bring in it? I'm sure if you are in a relationship with a woman you would not have any issues bringing her to the condo. I talked to the head manager of this same condo and he said he agreed to what I was saying. They are fighting the associations to uplift this policy but still no luck.
Just join a local gym. Single men can meet women unlike a gym condo. These places are asking foreigner prices. Foreigners are catching on. Philippines is on notice.
Nice modern facilities, Gio. Thought that the rent was reasonable. At least the women in Bacolod have attractive long black hair, not the horrible dyed blond or light brown hair like in Duma, or Manilla. Was amazed at how few customers in the big stores you have showed us: how do they stay in business? Based on your videos that would be the city for me! Big thanks.
They both looked below par to me noisy aircon and the obligatory filipino curtains that doesn’t block the light out They only up their game on apartments in bigger cities like Angeles and Manila Out in those province towns finding a decent apartment is virtually impossible
It is curious, almost a pattern. Every time a condominium pool is shown, it is invariably empty, as if perpetually unused. In contrast, gyms are rarely unoccupied. These ones, however, are an exception.
All condo's are like this, those amenities are just marketing features to sell units. They usually never get used that much in reality. People just think they will use it when they are thinking about moving in, then most never do.
Gio, please take a little more time and show wide shots of the condos. Close ups only of each space ( bedroom, cr, living/ dining room) give you ZERO sense of the layout and feel. Need size too. I appreciate your condo vids and content. Thanks.
Hey mate, that first condo that you showed for 20,000 Philippine pesos do they have two bedrooms in there and how can I get a hold of the person to rent one? 1:181:241:37
I need to stop watching condo reviews in the Philippines. They are very low quality at high prices compared to any other developing country. If the Thai's spoke English, they'd win w/o a doubt, that English ability is the only reason I consider the Philippines and training in Kali which I actually stopped doing in my last trip there in 2017. I don't think English alone is enough now, the apartments definitely aren't helping
Yes the condominiums in Bacolod seems very expensive and there's no open space. You arw literally just looking at your neighbours window. They are just stacked up one on top of the other. Like 7 million for a one bedroom and 2 million more just for a parking space. It's a total joke and a complete waste of money. MEGAWORLD all you get is a night market area with tents and a landers near by. There's no Festival walk or commercial development as in Iloilo
nice kitchen claustrophobic rooms cheesy uncomfortable furniture. please spend more time 10:1610:16 showing the actual apartments. 600 overpriced 350 ok. thank you for showing us what is available
@@GiointhePhilippines Thanks, but is that "normal" there? Mandatory? I mean, in the USA I've never once in my life ever had to "sign them in" at a hotel so am hoping to just do my thing without having to announce to the world what I'm doing in my paid for hotel room. As a grown man it seems odd to have to do this.
This is common in other places like Medellin Colombia but varies property to property. Also keep in mind the Philippines has/had problems with "pee-doughs". You can't blame the building management protecting themselves legally
These are inferior condos at ridiculous prices, they don't even come close to Vietnam or Thailand, the staines on those pillows on the 1st condo was a joke, very greedy, I am surprised if anyone would rent at that price, both were ridiculous.
HI GIO , A nice video , I would rent the CHEAP condo even if its smaller , not intending to spend a lot of time indoors. I was IMPRESSED with LANDERS , dining area WOW , not crowded , even better. I belong to COSTCO and sometimes have to drive thru the parking lot for 30 minutes to find a spot and even have left after no spots. TY GIO , STATI BUONO GOD BLESS CIAO
@@oaktownist if you do not like Bacolod stay where you are dont just say nasty things about Bacolod because I know your from Iloilo and Iloilo people always has bad comments about Bacolod you try to convince people to stay in Iloilo instead of Bacolod because you think its perfect for you. You cant convince all

good job, Gio. that Landers dining area is alot fancier than Costco!
I visit the Philippines every year for 30-60 days and have traveled throughout. This video series has put Bacolod on my list to see in 2025.
Good to hear it.
as someone who has been to the Phils 4 times as a soon to be retiree, with a Filipina fiancee, I think you are correct in that idea! it's a nice place. we found a great place to live in Bacolod.
Thanks for showing what's available in Bacolod. Better quality condos and better prices can be found in Thailand. i don't understand why Philippines is so expensive compared to other SEA Countries.
The value for money you receive in Thailand is head and shoulders above.

That's what I thought, those pillows looked nasty.
👍👍👍..the regis and messavirre both are excellent properties..nice video..
Dingy apartments with cheap or outdated furnishings but the facilities look pretty good.
Really cool video, of condos and Landers... which didn't seem to busy. Go to most Costco's in U.S. and it would have checkout lines of 10 people deep for 15 registers.
Really like that first condo for the price, but they both look good. Thanks for the tour!
I know, the first one is a great deal!
great video lately G man, people need to know more about Bacolod for retirement choices!!! that first one you looked at was a great deal I thought (we did not see that one), but One Regis we did see. Elegant entry area, decent pool. We saw two units (8th floor and penthouse floor), offered by two different private owners. They wanted 45-50k PHP!!! crazy! one good thing came of that day, we got our Landers card, ha ha 😄
Another great video Gio. We just spent 3 weeks in BGC. Heading back to Wisconsin tonight.
Have a safe trip home!
Never been to PI. Amazing how much some areas are well developed. I think if I ever visit I will make my base in a convenient area like these you are showing and then venture out and back from there.
Hope you are doing well.
Nice Gio thanks for the great content
Who designs the layouts in the PI? Nothing makes sense and a wall unit AC on a new unit? Thailand condos are amazing.
@@leatherneckmn The developers go for big profit and many Filipino workers abroad buys it thinking it is a good investment. Small units and pricey.
How would a resident cook a meal, I didn't see a range like we have in the US with cooktop and oven for baking.
Bacolod is definitely worth a look.
@@jdtravels5140 Rather than see a condo for the bells and whistles I'd rather see GO do pros and cons on the pricing we know that the condos are way overpriced no matter where you're at in the Philippines I rather see you focus on pricing and amenities and tell us it is worth it or not worth it
Condos not what I call quality to high price for what they're offering the furnishings are not great
I stayed at the Mesavirra for a week when I was in Bacolod last year. Nice place and not too far from the downtown area.
Gio try some small houses which filapinos rent un furnished. Not in the top places. Bet you get better value. Even in gated communities.
Costco sucks in Moreno Valley. The food court no longer carries supreme pizzas, salads, and baked chicken. They don’t even carry frozen yogurt. The miserable parking and long lines makes it all add up to a terrible shopping experience.

The supermarket is great
Messivere is nice, I lived there for 3 months

Gio, did you and Maya break up?
He’s looking for a place 😅
@@TheRocketrob3 But the Philippines does not have divorce.
If true it's smart to pull the plug sooner than later and wasting valuable time in both your lives.
@@AugieBenDougie-wk9pr you can get divorced from a Filipina in your home country.

Hi Gio. How do you find we’re these Condos are . I’m moving to Davao soon . Also how did you move your Goods

Hi, I have one question, Government from England saying don't investigate on Cryptocurrency,i stiil have some money there, What can I do,sorry because I disturbing you
We still have 2 Condos in Bacolod you havent check Camella and Rockwell coming soon SMDC Smile Residences near SM
Smile residences interest me.

Not bad on second one. I play billiards so would like a pool table instead of two foosball tables
I believe that Landers is the biggest one in the Philippines
I love when people try to pronounce foreign words. Not to make fun , just all the variations of the words. We are all human.
the condos here look very small for the prices in Manila. ten million for a small high rise and located in the crappy infrastructure
Great video
Nice modern facilities, Gio. Thought that the rent was reasonable.

They only up their game on apartments in bigger cities like Angeles and Manila
Out in those province towns finding a decent apartment is virtually impossible
so don't live there.
You didn't show if they have US style bacon.
They did
GIO,did you and your partner brack up?
just watch the vlogs, Gio is tired of talking about it
Very nice condos; thank you for sharing 😊
It is curious, almost a pattern. Every time a condominium pool is shown, it is invariably empty, as if perpetually unused. In contrast, gyms are rarely unoccupied. These ones, however, are an exception.
Filipinos generally don’t swim during daylight hours due to an intense desire to not get darker skin.
All condo's are like this, those amenities are just marketing features to sell units. They usually never get used that much in reality. People just think they will use it when they are thinking about moving in, then most never do.
try to iloilo city also maybe you like .
It’s nicer than the Cebu landers😮
Gio should check out Megaworld Boracay Newcoast and do condo reviews there.
Gio, please take a little more time and show wide shots of the condos. Close ups only of each space ( bedroom, cr, living/ dining room) give you ZERO sense of the layout and feel. Need size too. I appreciate your condo vids and content. Thanks.

Yes, they have 2 bedrooms. Join this group facebook.com/groups/2180207968870868/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
I liked them. I would rent either one
great vlog
An apartment without a balcony ( Veranda) is nothing more than a high rise jail cell.
I agree, I need a balcony or I feel like I'm in a prison cell.
These apartments are too expensive for most Filipinos, but below standards for most western expats. And no balcony either
Me too
Welcome to the Philippines. Where you get the minimum and get charged the maximum
nice video gio
I need to stop watching condo reviews in the Philippines. They are very low quality at high prices compared to any other developing country.

What is Kali
Yes the condominiums in Bacolod seems very expensive and there's no open space. You arw literally just looking at your neighbours window. They are just stacked up one on top of the other.

its also about visa access
so don't live there.
True Thailand has waaaay better infrastructure…but their English level is sooo bad…so what can u do ?
Do not buy any property there. Just rent if you want to stay. It’s all overpriced
Looks like Gio is hunting for a condo 😊😊
Nope, just showing what Bacolod has to offer.
Damn ....makes me want to stay in the States 😂
great idea. you do that
Agree These condos are over priced and low quality Wait a few years for the global reset and new exchange rates.

Were those impressions based on very recent years experiences, Dave, over there in Bacolod city?
