@@ThatPhilippinesLifeHi Mike! Am just curious, may I know the brand of shades you wore on this particular video please? ☺️ It's nice I love it, looks good on you😀
@@jenniferinocencio8945 I got them at the optometrist in the 2nd floor of festive walk mall in Iloilo they have their own glasses brand, very high quality with case and only P500. Sorry I don't remember their name but they are near the Toni and Guy Salon. So if you are in Iloilo City grab a pair
You are right Mike. President Roxas was born in Roxas City. I think he served for 2 years as President and died in 1948. Seems Pilar is a fishing village. Good video to see some small towns and their livelihood.
Wow ! Islands Hotel was amazing ! It was very kind of them to upgrade your room, what a comfortable place to unwind. I think the rates you posted are reasonable, a classy place available at different tiers. The old mansion was very interesting, very ornate! It was sad to see such a stately building in disrepair. How cool would it be for someone to hire a team to clean and rebuild it. Such an old building, if it has no structural issues with the foundation and walls, probably won't develop any in the foreseeable future.
Thanks for the video Mike, looking forward to more. Like the way you check out the interesting places on your journey. Hope the toe is getting better...Cheers!....Jim
I think you seem to be enjoying and having more fun doing these videos without your wife, doing freely what ever you desire. Keep up all your hard work, it’s showing positive results. 😊
Island hotel looks great. Roxa city is looking to be a great travel destination and maybe a place to call home. Looking forward to seeing the next video. ❤
Very cool to see you exploring a little observed area of Philippines. Last time I saw a video from there was 2004 and the early vlogger's name was, "Cowboy", something.
You're doing it right, Michael. You have to be social and more aggressive than the locals. If you just wander in quietly, they see you as weak and will mess with you. Its 7th grade all over again. Haha. Good job.
It's always nice to watch your vlogs sir Michael, thanks for sharing our lovely Panay Island. :) I am also a native of Panay Island specificaly from Pontevedra, Capiz. I hope you get the chance to visit Gigantes islands as well since you are there in Carles, Iloilo already
Hi Michael I so enjoyed your time in Roxas City The town and the beach area are so beautiful. Tomorrow Wednesday I and doing a road trip to Roxas City. Should be in Roxas City on Friday the 9th. You enjoy your next journey and looking forward to your next video. Thanks
@@ThatPhilippinesLife Three good resort in Sicogon are Huni, Balay Cogon, Solina Beach and Nature. From there you can explore other islands like the quite popular Gigantes island too. Stay safe and enjoy. Watching from Saudi Arabia.
It is originally part of Pilar Capiz which you are gonna pass by afer President Roxas. It was separated from Pilar and formed into seperate town by virtue of republict act
In the olden times, the name of the capital town or city becomes the name of the province. Of course, some continue to this day. Examples are Cebu City, Cebu, Batangas City, Batangas. President Manuel Roxas was born in Capiz (town), Capiz which was renamed to Roxas City. President Roxas (town) was formerly known as Lutod-lutod and together with other barrios from Pilar (town), Capiz was separated to form a new town with that name.
Other examples were Morong, Morong which was later re-named to Rizal province after the national hero. Also Tayabas, Tayabas which was later re-named to Quezon province after the former president.
Roxas City was renamed from the municipality of Capiz in honor of the 4th President Manuel Acuna Roxas. The local history is passed down through oral tradition, and the national history is taught in school so some of them may not know except for the history buffs. Also, the people in provincial areas are not confident with their English speaking even though it is taught in school. If I ever make it back to the area, I can show you Aklan, an area that used to be part of Capiz. I’m still okay in speaking Aklanon and Tagalog, though it’s more like a secondary language to me now since I grew up in the US. I’m not sure if that is something you’re interested in since you like living in a more developed area.
Lesson learned. From now on im always checking in with a camera rolling just in case it gets me a free upgrade. 😂 The room was pretty sweet even without a desk.
@@ThatPhilippinesLife every job should have fringe benefits. This was a nice one. I know it must have been stressful to think about restarting your channel, but I honestly feel like it's better than before. Not trying to knock bianca, she seems very sweet, but just that the channel now feels more like your own personal journey and it's a nice vibe. You're crushing it.
Random = As you begin to venture around town by yourself, Mike, you may want to add a few Tagalog words in your repertoire. Nice way to break the ice with the locals, ey?
One of the falsehoods reported by many TH-camrs is the the Philippines is an English speaking country., I have been in PH for 1.5 years now and realize that is certainly not the case. Many people know some level of English as they teach it in school but mostly people that can speak good to fluent English are only in the most populated areas
It doesn't change, we were both still on tourist visa, I'm currently starting a corporation with a Filipino as well working with a big charity soon that will get me a annual volunteer visa
@@ThatPhilippinesLife Nice! Looking forward to hearing all about the charity and your new corporation. Hopefully you’ll still share your fabulous photos with the rest of us! 👏👏👏
Saad they don’t know their history and former president , mike you try to learn speak ilongo , there’s a lot of vblogers really trying to speak bisaya , I never heard you speak any word of ilongo . If you plant to live there roxas try to learn few ilongo words . You like high ends stuff , is it freebies for you or you paying for it , just asking

So chilling bideo! Yo' monk÷y😂, just joking man😂.
Oh man, that room... Once you're ready, single life Mike is gonna be a ladykiller haha JK! Cheers
Welcome to my hometown Michael ❤

Come back in President Roxas and try the different water falls. you can ask assistance in the Municipality tourism department.

Hi I hope you find a place to settle good luck !!
Isn't it interesting what hard work an adventure can be?
That's true, finding it can be difficult
Lots of fishes in the sea
Indeed there are

Oh nice hope I see you
Naming of Pres Roxas City = a City Hall visit may have gotten you the information you needed, Mike.
wow. you passby our town in Panitan.
Shout out from Brampton ontario Canada 🎉
Pilar is the last town of Capiz, boundary of iloilo and Capiz
It is a 4th municipal income class town. But it has improve a lot since my last visit there in year 2000 I guess😂
Going from City life to farm country. Difficult to adjust.
Estancia is where you can find a fish port, where merchant take and sell to nearby towns and barangay.
I'm here at the fish port watching the fish traders make the deals as I read this comment

@@ThatPhilippinesLife Huni Sicogon I think is the most upscale resort there where most local celebrities stay and some foreigners also.
Sicogon Island 👍🏻
Nice! That was my family I told you about that would be seeing you. They said they felt a little shy so they didn’t say much. 😂😂
That happens tell them no need to be shy
Primary mode of transport there is tricycle

One day I would like to be that - drinking San mig light by the seaside 😂😂😂❤
That's the life
The price of rice displayed is not per kilo but per ganta or gantang. It's equivalent to 2.41 kg. That's why it looks expensive
Oooh thank you! I thought that seemed strange since I have seen P40 before listed
@@ThatPhilippinesLife actually ganta is not a measurment of weight but its the Volume of the rice. It dates back during the spanish period.
Hi Michael what restaurant are you broadcasting in?
Bitoys right across from San Antonio Resort
You pass by my original home barangay called Hipona
Lesson learned. From now on im always checking in with a camera rolling just in case it gets me a free upgrade. 😂 The room was pretty sweet even without a desk.
Indeed, makes sense if I had a business and the room was empty. Cost nothing extra for the promotion

Sicogon island
biker stop in at roxas i bet they were not the hells angles. lol
No they are mostly doctors and fire fighters I think lol
👍👍👍
Hotel is better than In Dumaguete
Roxas City Market is not renovating. You haven't been in there where they're sailing big crabs and prawns
When I was there December it was almost finished the huge meat section?
Provinces rarely find pinoys fluent in English unless they studied abroad, balikbayans or foreign parent
Hello 👋
Park = why was no one there? Where were the kids? Eerily weird ...
Probably in school I'm guessing

It depends on the generation, mandatory that classes are taught in English now
Yes I live with a 14 year old who has had 8 years of English in school and is also non-conversational@@ThatPhilippinesLife
jUST CURIOUS: How do they keep the flies ,rodents, dogs, etc from going after all that fish sitting out drying?
Same here! As one person pointed out, why don't the birds eat it all
Dried fish everywhere? Where are the hungry seagulls?
Wow you are right, seriously free buffet
Michael, how will your immigration status change as a result of the divorce? Do you plan to return to Toronto?

Thanks
If only your wife was with you its beautiful man I hope things work out for your guys eventually
being a handsome man that you are sir is it possible that you would get involved with a beautiful pinay if she was interested in you?
You never know what the future holds
