    Thanks for the video, you kind of hit on all the reasons we decided to retire to Iloilo city. Actually the condo you are in was our second choice when we were looking for a place.
    Thanks again

    Gino, I am disappointed to hear of your current unfortunate, situation, but am impress with the mental strength you are showing in dealing with it. Catching up with your videos, I see in Dazel's demeanor that she is trying to be strong for you. Your positive attitude is no doubt helping her to deal with the situation.
    I am surprised you would consider moving from the tranquility of Aklan Province, but whatever will help both of you with keeping a positive mindset will be the best decision. I wish you a fast recovery and only the best for you both in the future.

    • @dazeltv1351
      @dazeltv1351  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you my friend. I considered even before I got sick to move near Iloilo City because of the medical care. I'll be 57 this year and just thought that as I got older, I will need to be close to a good hospital. I've been able to take good care of myself; no medical issues since I retired here 12 years ago. No maintenance medicine of any kind. Ran 5k every other day. Ate lots of fruits and vegetables. Just unfortunate that I got cancer. It is what it is. If Aklan had a good hospital; I would not even consider moving anywhere. An example is I will need radiation therapy; not available in Aklan province.

    I'm looking at your video of the balcony across the Iloilo River and the Esplanades, with bikers riding, the early morning joggers, the Zumba dancers, boat paddlers, cars darting here and there, the palmtrees, the greenery and in the distance the high-rises, the malls and hotels.

    Iloilo City in Western Visayas region boasts a unique blend of ancient history, old-world charm and comforts of a modern city, definitely "the past is always present". Behold the beauty of the Parisian and Italian inspired edifices and enjoy the everyday festive vibe at Iloilo Business Park, awarded as "The best township development in Asia". The city is just a few hours away from the unspoiled beach and instagrammable Isla de Gigantes in Carles, dubbed as one of the best beaches in the world by Forbes magazine. Not too far is Guimaras island and its mangoes, the sweetest in the world. Also known for its fresh seafood coming from near by towns and provinces that can be more enjoyed in some must visit and highly recommended restaurants around, no wonder why it is now known also as "The food haven of the Philippines". Iloilo City is more than just a tasty La paz Batchoy or the colorful and famous Dinagyang Festival.

    Ginno, I want to wish you the best of luck with your health. A couple of questions. First you said there weren't as many motorcycles there. Just curious, why do you think there are less there then other places? Secondly, why did you go to Iloilo Medical Center instead of Clark Medical Center? Tks

    • @dazeltv1351
      @dazeltv1351  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it is because public transportation is cheap and available in Iloilo City. Also, so many bicycle riders in the city. It is more expensive to live in the city; so local Filipinos that work in the area might not be able to afford a motorcycle. Dazel and I decided to get my treatment in Medical City Iloilo instead of Medical City Clark because we are closer to our house in Camella Aklan; 3 1/2 hour drive. I am looking at months of treatments; so it’s nice to have a break like this week and be in our house. Take our dogs for rides on Bumblebee and have our normal life in Aklan; even for just 9 days. I’ve seen nothing but hospitals the past 6 weeks; so nice to just walk in our subdivision and breath fresh air. I know I will be ready for the next rounds of chemo after this break.

      Rent is possible for $300 a month; but not in the condominium and apartment complexes by Iloilo river. You would have to live about 30 minutes away from the city proper; like the suburbs. Here’s my email: ginno1966@yahoo.com. I can send you information on what is available in Iloilo City.

    Gina I am a financial I don’t wanna call myself an expert but I am very intelligent what’s happening in the financial markets right now in American banking system is failing you need to get all of your money out of the American banking system and get it transferred into your Philippine bank to banks failed over the last two days in America and probably hundreds will start failing on Monday you don’t have much time I would get as much money out of the American system as possible and get it into your Philippine bank
