Been watching your vids for couple months now nd js Cannot stop watching!! love when we tag along on your grocery nd outside market shopping, window shopping @ tha Malls, daily Barrio Barretto walks as well as road trips!! ADDICTION @ IT'S BEST WHN WATCHING MARCOS (household chores put on hold) 😂😂😂 A FABULOUS DAY TO YOU ❤
This is Incredible. I been binge watching all your videos the past two days. I'm 29yr w a fiance and 12yr old daughter. I can't wait till she's 18 and I can travel. Philippines is definitely the place to be. Thanks to you. I think my family and yours would get along like family. Much blessing my friend.
Don't wait. My husband and I took our 12 year old on a 13 months around the world trip a few years ago. We home schooled 6th grade. We backpacked and travelled cheaply. Spent about the same money as any other year but had no income of course. We are now poorer (in money) but so much richer in everything else.
Wow, I sure am glad TH-cam recommended this one and backed up to it because I sure enjoyed it and it was so beautiful it is just Breathless thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.
Wooow it’s awsome i loved it, i missed pancit canton, i will be in Subic firstweek of August...can’t wait to see it.. so happy to sit and eat my favorite food..
It is soo cool just to set back at my desk, grab a beer and watch your videos it is so interesting seeing all the things you do and places you go. It gives us a chance if nothing else just to get out of our own environment and escape for a while! I teach at a college and am technically retired but just helping out in the transition of them filling my position at the college, i so want to come their and live and travel, was unsure where i wanted to move but your making it less of a hard decision the more i watch your videos. I originally grew up in the country and then later Orange County LA and even was a pro fighter after ii got out of the service for a while, now just live in small town in Iowa and teach. I am very use to diverse places with high crime rate living in orange country it has been a real treat even living in Chicago for a 4 year period while going to college and living in south Chicago which is the worse part. From what i have read and seen in videos for the most part it is pretty safe their of course being aware and picking and choosing your places to visit is wise of course lol! So i will continue to watch your videos until i am done here then vacation and then hopefully move their, like i said in another post the wife is scared to fly so it will be a drunkin flight for her lol!!
Can you describe the option of transportation from manila airport ?! You are really open minded man .. i love your videos i love the way you think about traveling..keep going 👏🏾 regards
Would be Wonderful to capture Life deep down in tha Boonies where Fatimah grew up ...her home town. I think it'll be nice to see you cookn up for tha in-laws in tha "Lodge 3.2 Quart Cast Iron Combo Cooker" ...right? ......rhiiiighttt!!
@@Traceyi1000 I've done that and you'd be surprised how quickly you get bored of it and heaven soon turns into hell. I know, it's hard to imagine but that's what happens. Unless you find something productive to preoccupy yourself with.
Haha I love the videos I've watched a lot of them and you really have a knack for videos! I think you should keep the camera on you more because you're hilarious!
How do you find these cool places to stay? I was in and out of Subic for around 8 years while in the Navy, but not many of us traveled the country. The little journey you are on is really cool... Do you have this entire trip planned out or are you just moving around sort of, when you get there, you get there... Very Cool...
I do very little planning. If I plan too much, it takes the adventure out of it. Plus, I noticed that if I have a well-scripted plan, I'm in a hurry. It's as if I'm suddenly on a timeline or a mission back at a regular job. When you get in a hurry traveling, that's when you get ripped off, scammed, hustled, etc. When you're on a slow roll, you're in charge. If someone tries to charge me too much for a tricycle ride, I walk away and go drink a beer. At some point, the price will come down to something reasonable. Many of the places I've been started as a conversation with someone in a bar. The next day I'm on a bus or a plane to go see the place for myself. I pretty much go with the wind. I'm a bargain hunter, so I usually never stay at the expensive resorts. They bore me, anyway. I get on agoda.com and within 10 minutes I've got a room. Or, I just roll to the destination, find the nearest bar stool, and ask the waitress where's a cool place to stay. The real key to my adventure travel that I travel LIGHT. When I'm in adventure mode, I've got an Arc'teryx Brize 32 Backpack and my Indiana Gear Bag satchel. With that setup, I'm totally mobile and able to change plans at a moment's notice. That's near impossible to do if you're rolling with two big suitcases. The system owns you if you have to have assistance with luggage. In Southeast Asia, as long as you can get on a motorbike with all of your gear on your person, you're golden. Most of the guys who travel here do the same thing. They go to Manila, Angeles City, Subic Bay, or Boracay and then leave. Most only have a couple of weeks vacation so I understand why they do it. I have the luxury of time and can get off the beaten path. Thanks for the comments, my friend.
Yeah, I've been fishing several times down in Cebu. My friend has a small fishing boat that usually just he and his younger brother go out on. There's room for one more in the middle so that's where I sit. If you go out with them, you will understand the hardships of most of the fishermen here. After buying fuel, prepping the nets, fishing, and recovery, we had about 5 hours invested in the trip. Our net profit for the day was less than 50 pesos ($1 U.S. dollar). Once we got back, the younger brother had to get to school. The kid does that routine every day. Fish from 2:00 a.m. to around 7:00 a.m. and then rush off to class. I only wish I could take them to Miami and fish for Mahi Mahi / Dolphin. I'd love to see the look on their faces when we hit a school and all the lines start zinging.
Girlie Palmer: I’m in the same boat as you. My wife and I are planning to retire in the Philippines in a few years. We have four children (2nd generation Filipino’s), there brown on the outside, but white in the inside. Like you, they’ll probably send us to the nursing home as well.
Great country to hang out in but you'll have to get used to these noises like at 32:21 there always is some form of construction nearby your room, probably start hammering around 8 a.m. so get used to these things real fast.
I've had the ATM eat my card at the bank drive through here in Arizona. I went inside the bank and told them and the teller told me to call the 800 number on my card. Can you believe that? I told her the ATM ate my card how am I supposed to call the 800 number. She said, oh, that's right. There's idiots everywhere my friend. The resolution to this cluster foxtrot is a 100K word essay.
I had a very different experience of Bamboo House when I stayed there a few years ago. Too far from Sabang, most of the advertised amenities were closed or unavailable, food was crap and Dennis was a Smartass Little Jerk. Definitely could NOT recommend from my experience there. Booked & Paid 4 days, left after 1.
It seemed that you were the only customer at the Bamboo House for most of your stay. The place is very nice but the route going there is kind of scary...looks like it's too far from civilization.
The route there (up the hill) is kind of scary at night until you get used to it. So, I'll have to agree with you on that point. It is a bit far from Sabang Beach, but it's close to White Beach. Personally, I intentionally search for places off the beaten path and far from civilization. That's where the adventure lies. Sure, it's not exactly convenient having to hike or ride up that hill at night, but that's what makes the place unique. Once you get to the Bamboo House, the journey was definitely worth it. Nicest folks you'll every meet and a beautiful property. Locations off the beaten path are not for everyone, and I'm certainly glad for that. Gives me more room to stretch out and relax and I don't have to wait in line for a hammock. Ha!
You have to think of the larger audience you want. You will peak at 10,000 with King Marcos or you can be like the guy from 20 Seconds in Thailand channel and have 45,000. Which will make more money? My Self Reliance has over 500,000 subscribers, check out his style. Do you want to feed your ego or your bank?
I’m not motivated by money, my friend. Sure, I have to eat and pay rent like anyone else. But the money, the million dollars per month is a game to me. If I wanted to make money I would have never left the USA and the big paychecks from the defense industry. I’m doing my own thing. I don’t give a shit about anyone else’s channel and I don’t have the time to watch their content anyway. I wish them luck but don’t care about their style or anyone else’s. Peak at 10K? Ha. I think not. I’m just getting started, my friend. I’m going Platinum and I’ll do it my way....As long as I got cold beer, two bitches, and a pot to piss in, that’s rich enough for me.

This was a good one. Rewatched after three years.
Great video ! I’m watching all your videos and learning a hell of a lot in preparation for my trip to the Philippines 🇵🇭 ! Thank you 🙏
Nice one mate, i did a video there in April in room 3 i think it was. Great place and Dennis and his wife were great people.
You said it, my friend. Dennis and his family are truly wonderful folks.
A top spot. Have to get there sooner rather than later. Thanks for your no nonsense vids.
Reminds me of a place in Jamiaca I stayed..Chirella Inn as i recall. Maybe another one in town, Drumbay Cove...?
Wooow it’s awsome i loved it, i missed pancit canton, i will be in Subic firstweek of August...can’t wait to see it.. so happy to sit and eat my favorite food..

Awesome Marco. You are a frickin natural buddy. Keep up the great videos.
Great looking resort. Hidden gem. Thanks for sharing this. 😁
Wow counting down the days before I get there have you visited the volcanoes if you could make a video of it
Nice. I'm feelin' it. You do good stuff when you ain't drunk.
So nice they gave you the best ocean view room..
It looks so peaceful and relaxing.
Thank you for showing us around
Mate love the blogs spent 3 month 35 years ago in puerto it has changed
I would love to have seen the place back then.
I was there 32 years ago it was pretty nice. Nipa huts on the sand too, even though there's been some change their I still love the place
Super awesome 👍
heading down there sunday from Makati. Any tips would be appreciated. love the channel.
Thanks Paul
That place looks awesome!
Looks like a good place for 10 bucks a night 😎is this close to domugette I might take a boat ride over there
Thanks again for the awesome video.
Beautiful!

$10 that is super affordable. I can stay there for a week👍
I want to stay 3 months or forever

What province are you from by the way?
LMAO when you said you had a bottle of wine instead of water I laughed hard!
Not even sure where that bottle of wine came from. Ha! But it was delicious.
Haha I love the videos I've watched a lot of them and you really have a knack for videos! I think you should keep the camera on you more because you're hilarious!
Thanks, man.
Anytime man!
Much better than Hawaii where the natives lost coastline property. Seems a large amount of Phillipino land is owned by native people.
Do you have a website link to this place?
I can see you love the Peens as i do, you seem to be a good boy since leaving Pundiquit!!
Yeah, but that's only because I took 30 days off from drinking. Just stand by. Ha!
This was uploaded on my birthday
Happy Birthday my friend. !!!!!!

what is the pesos price per night? Just put your Gem on my bucket list!
you just said the price! I gotta slow down
How much does a tricycle fare cost from Balatero Pier to the Bamboo House?
Have you ever asked any of the local fishermen if they would take you out for a day?
Yeah, I've been fishing several times down in Cebu. My friend has a small fishing boat that usually just he and his younger brother go out on.

See now these are enjoyable videos, these kind will help you make more money. Not the alter ego King Marcos type.
