Hello Brian and Marceil. I noticed you also didn't mention Council rates or land tax in your monthly costs or don't you have to pay them for some reason. I presume you don't pay house insurance because your house wouldn't be so expensive to repair or rebuild if it was damaged by an earthquake or typhoon, so you must think the cost of the insurance isn't worth it. Also I think it is good to have at least third party property insurance for your vehicle which at least covers the cost of damage caused by your vehicle to someone else's vehicle or property. Oh, and also in Australia they have third party compulsory insurance which covers people injured in an accident caused by your vehicle which I think is an absolute must. I prefer you quoting everything in pesos, then I can just convert everything fr pesos and not have to worry about converting from US dollars to Australian dollars. Thank you both for your videos. I enjoy watching them. Please take care. Regards Jason
Thank you for watching Jason!👍
My monthly expenses are 10 to 12,5k Peso for me and my gf. When i was single in Cebu City it was 7,5k to 10k Peso a month. Always including Visa fees as a Tourist. My monthly rent is 2000Peso a month and together we need 110Peso on average per day for food and water.
An excellent example..
GREAT video. Simple but nice.
You got a nice lady not a good digger. I'm American and found a great lady also. Her family learned not to ask her for money because we're on a budget. Our son comes first she told them. They see me as a Filipino since I speak the language good. They forgot I'm a "foreigner". When we can we give 2k here n there. Lucky they're 2 day's away on bus.
Your in good hands with Dr Marciel she said not to smoke as of next month, you should listen to her!
If your only eating rice 3 x times a week man your doing well, cause my wife and her family eat it 2 x times a day 7 days a week. Rice and fish, rice and chicken, rice and vegetable, rice and pork, etc etc etc.
Yes..etc. ect etc😰
Yeahhh for surw rice is the stable food for us asian
you are a wonderful couple. I thought U R already married. well life so great with a humbled Filipina lady Maricel.
Go Go for Brian
get married.
( my Filipina wife and I been married for a long time.)
Go ahead Brian
don't be Shy
My electric is expensive 8500 pesos, food for me 5000 about the same as you, my phone 400 internet 500, rent 20,000 and maybe 5000 on misc. so whats that ? So round it off to 40,000 pesos. I run my A/C 24/7/365 , big fridge, a few fans 24/7 too, TV 20/7 etc.
Your right brian 3 ,000 to 5000 pesos for renting apartment in manila and u buy everything in manila not.like when u are in province water is free and vegies and u can rst chiken by yourown ia lot free ...
Nice couple,very inspiring tlga..i like you both...silent subscriber here from Berlin.
Hi guys, I'm a new subscriber. I enjoy watching your videos, it brings me back home. By the way Brian, that shrimp crackers is delicious.
Thank you for your interest in our channel Sandy.😀 please share our channel and videos.👍
Very cute couple. I enjoyed the video.
Sorry for all the comments.. I am commenting as your video plays.. Maricel is extremely lovely today.
She looks lovely to me every day💘
ineteresting topic but the audio is terrirble with very strong background noise (electrical)..
in cebu city are many nice apartments for around 10k Peso. 75K Peso would be a luxury house.
Living in the province like bohol is too cheaper unlike other provinces which are 1st class...if you are retired american and find ordinary wife and spend your monthly pension in Philippines you will be rich foreigner with that no lavish lifestyle..1000 us dollars pension spend in phil is pretty good but mr brian try to treat your wife going out for dinner at least once a month so she could experience life which is not ordinary life...
She is a character, I love her laughter , give up the smokes ,they cost you health and money and with no health insurance...?
Mind your own business. People who smoke die, people who don't smoke, die.
@@joeiiiful Go have a smoke dumb ass ! LOL
Try to inquire PhilHealth n SSS how to apply. These will help you both in the future, here in the Phil's. It does not cost a lot.
Will do Dolly, and thanks👍
Plain PhilHealth is not the best insurance, but is certainly better than none! My Uncle got sick with a gut parasite two years ago. 4 days, and 3 nights in a Hospital cost him about 15,000php. If he had Philhealth, the bill would have been about half that amount! He will gladly pay the lousy $326.00 yearly premium if he takes his wife and kid home to Mindanao for a visit! I'm planning to do the same this December, when I fly to Phills.
When I went home in Cebu I inquire n asked I will soon be senior 3years after n the lady said, it depends how I shld pay my health insurance, so I decided to pay it full b4 I reach my senior age. N my decision to such payment are....no more worries n no more due date to pay. I stayed in the hospital for only two days. The total cost is 64k pesos. From my PhilHealth n my SSS acct# 55k pesos was deducted. I only payed 19k from my own savings.. These includes all x-rays, medicines, room accommodation, doctors n nurses services.
Thank you for the information Dolly👍
you can survive with out TV as long as you have computer
Others might have a television bill.
I have no TV iether,£300 tried for a licence for a load of crap
So cute and funny 😊😊😊how I WISH I meet my d one too 😘😘.. GOD BLESS TO THE BOTH OF YOU... MORE POWER 😍😍
Love the banter , you should quit smoking so you can spend a longer time with her. Hum?
😳
Sorry to hear that my friend, what are you involved with?@@whiteonggoy7009
Wow nice guys... living a simple happy life ..that's what almost everybody wanted ....God bless...
Hi Maricel & Brain. Love your videos. Brian bud. I think its time to listen to Maricel.You can really notice the smokers cough. Not trying to tell you what to do. But Maricel seems to be a very nice person.Who I think you would love to have a very long life with.Take Care Russ From Canada
Okay you just said you live on $600 a month! And that's great. But you also said $300 a month for food. 15,000 pesos, that's what you said. Is this correct? Half your expenses food. And it's 15,000 pesos. That seems high.
Brian, I have followed different lives in the philipines. I once heard that the exchange rate was 35 to the dollar. I remember you saying your life style is not based on the exchange rate. I have to ask do you feel it safe to not have life insurance, health insurance and vehicle insurance. If you base your life style on the lower rate you can possibly adjust to cover these things and adjust to inflation. I've heard expats say that because of insurance in a vehicle accident they did not have to bicker about people trying to sue or drain you dry. Your constantly climbing and also getting older, as you know it's your responsibility to ensure Maricel do not have to struggle paying for circumstances so life and health insurance is necessary. Brian lessen the burden on Maricel. I know that you may feel the things you are investing in now will see her through. Always remember there is a time of adjustment when something happens it's a huge burden. Please plan to ensure some form of relief financially is in place to hold Maricel over even if it's just enough to cover the help so she can care for you properly. Find what it takes for you both to live comfortablely, pay the staff and there benefits and plan for the unkown. As you know it is said an accident will happen, it's just how you have prepared yourself to absorb the blow.
If you are funded in a foreign currency your life style is based on the exchange rate. It took 3 seconds to get current FOREX rates using Google....

Russell Johnson really agree. Insurance in Philippines 🇵🇭 is a must. Whatever you have now might be gone. 😦. Get insurance.
Russel when is your next book coming out?
@@eldorado1244 in the near furture. Lol
its 52 pesos a dollar
Love your videos, Maricel is so pretty, Brian is very lucky. They're both lucky to have each other.
Having your own house certainly helps reduce expenses a lot. Need the air con at night for sure. I am the same :) $3K US a month is huge. I guess everyone has a different idea of how they want to live and who is to say you cant live on $600 month? Thanks for giving us some insight to your costs :)
@surveyguyor I am referring to the part where Brian was saying some foreigners go to the Philippines to live and spend 3k US a month. Check at 13.31 in the video. You have to watch all of the video dude :)
@surveyguyor No worries, you have a good day also :)
David James ... that wasn’t nice ... I think their house looks fine . A lot nicer than a lot of people there . It I’d built that way for a reason I expect . Typhoons and lots of rain .. I would rather be there and be safe and dry than in a thatched hut when that comes !
Be civil please...
Once your farm is fully productive , like availability of vegetables , now you have eggs already...chicken meat...and maybe butcher a pig and store in freezer ( in small packages)..like in the west...and I hope the pond will produce tilapia fish...etc... it will help decrease the daily expenses ...as what we do in our farm...nice video Cel and Brian..GOD BLESS...
Looking for a lifetime companionship...I'm single mom 33years old my son is 13years old he's with my parents since 2010 I'm working abroad in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, I go vacation every 2years I'm single for too long coz I don't have time in love life, but now I want to try to find a partner in life I'm getting older and I want to be a mother and a wife and have my own family.... Don't worry I have already a house and lot, a coconut farm in phippines... All I want is a companionship with love. Sorry hndi na oobra s akin ang mga pinoy base on my experience.
Just what im saying simple life is better than a socialife ..you have a man a very kind man and loving sis .keep it up sis i hope oneday i find also a man like him a very loving man ..God bless to both of you stay Happy Family !
Hi marisel my tanong lang ako sa you my baby kanaba kumusta kana.
Hello! You guys are awesome! Love your chemistry, so real and loving. Look forward to watching your videos.
I think the most lovely thing about the Filipina's is their eyes and the little expressions.
Hi
Yes
Hi sir pls SUBSCRIBE my channel ty
Hmmm better than anyone out there lol if you’re having a manipulative wife and greedy wew that’s suck your life would be misery. I like her she’s natural no make ups simple and respectable has her own humor tool lol..filipina wife is really good on budgeting esp the household chores hahahaha
hi guys great channel to watch great to see alls going ok try squeezing where the bee stings you till you see blood then spray with WD40 works great on aussie bees and most marine stingers
great sharing thxs lots, feel the move to samar someday, rent free with air con , in the mighty jungle the mighty jungle heheh , manssion middle of no where huts and few block .. very help full thxs again
I cant help laughing watching brian and maricel exchanging words.
Brother some tastes are acquired by culture, just because you don't like them you don't have to dis your honey like that. I'm talking about the prawn chips or what ever they are.
When I heard Brian commenting on the cost of apartments in Manila or Cebu I about choked! Yeah, you can spend that if that's your lifestyle but 15-25k pesos will get you a nice apartment in either. I lived in Angeles in 1999 and I paid 7k peso for a nice 2 bedroom 2 bath up and down apartment. That was 1999 but now you can get the same in Angeles for 10-15k peso for an unfurnished apartment. I'm moving back to the Philippines in a couple of years when my civil service disability converts to a regular annuity. I'll have CS, military and SSDI pensions coming in. I don't live extravagant but I wouldn't move to the PI on less than 4k a month and a minimum of 50k in savings. That's just me.
Well done guys, I really enjoy your banter style presentation. I have been to the Philippines and I really do understand what you are doing and how you are living. Yes, you really do not really need a lot to have a happy lifestyle and though you beautiful wife misses her Korean sitcoms, I'm sure she will survive and she's not really missing out on much. Well done and I really enjoy listening to you both. I'm planning to go to live in Cebu in the new year and your information is very helpful. Great job.
Pls SUBSCRIBE me ty
My wife and I have a place over in Alabang Muntinlupa Metro Manila that is paid for. But I bought like a two horse aircon for the main living room and a .5 horse for our bedroom. I ran them 24/7 thinking they would be cheap. When the electric bill cam due I almost had a heart attack it was 12,500 pesos! LOL! My electric bill in the USA only runs like a$100.00 US and our small two bedroom home is all electric. After that I paid like 55,000 pesos for a Samsung split inverter air con for our Manila home and it is much more efficient. Live and learn! : )
Well its cheaper to live in the philippines so it makes more sense to live in the philippines if you have money..
Your so like an old married couple 😄👍
I was thinking the same thing 😊
Living in the Philippines as an expats is very cheap here..it depends on how your living is.but as a foreingner living in philippines here is very affordable.specially if you have your oyn house then much better than rents..its a waste of too much money.
15k for groceries a month is too much for just the two of you. I think Maricel should stop those junk food its not good for her kidneys and the sodas too.
yes i think youre right 15k pr month is way too much i think i spent about 5 k pr month on food for 2,5 person pluss dogs 3
He said including their 5 dog's food
I admire and like you both! Maricel is lovely and hardworking, simple and genuine.
u guys don't have home & flood insurance, home alarm system...
your wife knows how to budget...great partnership :))
marc R
Lol Alarm system? Your funny🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys as always! It interesting how brain your western ways come through and Maricel non western ways come through, but you'll make it work in heated but with smiles. I hope you'll get married soon.
Exactly
We live on $650 USA per month, my wife and I, and a girl that works for us. We live downtown bacolod city. Our rent is p2000, electric is p2500, water p200, phone and dsl p1799. That's about $60 USD then p3000 for our girl, that's another $60 the rest we spend on groceries, gas, and miscellaneous stuff we want. We live a pretty good life on that $650, and never run out of money by the end of the month.
I have a good wife who wheels and deals on everything she buys though.
Lol, so does Maricel. I can't tell if it's a love or a hate relationship she has with the local vendors..😀😀
No tv it's okey you tube is more than enough
👍
Yeah I haven't had a TV in more than 15 years. TH-cam is hundreds of percentages better.
The same with me...
How come u don't have cable?..there is a cable for 1-time payment for php1500.00 only there in Philippines..(I 4got how they call it) We have 2pcs of that..we used 1-upstairs and the other one is reserve. The main cable is at the dining/sala downstairs ..Sorry just saying...
Not available where we are
I love your Channel so fun loving and funny.keep up the good work.♥️😊
Nice video the only thing I would like to see in your budget is for Brian to have health insurance. If a health problem were to happen the expense could be significant and could be a matter of life or death.
Hahahah
Maricel is right, Brian you should start quiting cigars😂. It's unhealthy. If I am Maricel I will make sure you'll quit smoking so we can be together a longer period of time.🤣🤣🤣
Love and care 💗💗💗
I think it's good U don't have rent, u makes it that much easier, I'm already planning to do the same, I always teach my girlfriend to buy big sacks of rice ahead of time so we can be ahead, next I will try to see if they will let me pay ahead on power bill so they can only take from my credit, we already have bikes to rent, next I will buy a small jeepney, I'm preparing myself before I retire this year!
Good thinking
great video and you guys are funny as hell your living very well over there you and your wife god bless fr your friend in canada
Thanks, and thanks for watching 😊
Hi maricel and Brian. Yes your right maricel igna si brian is not good sa panglawas nya.my husband always say smoke is bad to our body.your so funny both of you i miss my husband.pag amping mong duha.i always watching all your video's
Thank you. This is what I expected from watching so many budget videos from others that really don't want province living
Our pleasure Mike. At your service 🤠
cigarettes stop now!!!!! my wife of 42 years was from the philippines also and she smoked most of that 42 years , died too young from smoking , 5 heart attacks in her life then diabetes an d then cancer finally got her, and its all from smoking, please stop smoking , and get more exercise you'll be better for it , i'm 69 years and i walk 5 miles every day , non stop a real fast walk , no aches no pains i feel like i'm 49 and its great . like your vlog its informative , you two make a great couple take care of one another, and brian listen to maricel more often !
Hi maam..how your husband can stay philippines in 3 months anu po gagaein dapat?
Visa extensions
Ya that first year of marriage Was our ruffest one and now 35 years later with children all grown. Each year got better and better as we understood each other better. However now our health is on a decline. If you two are married and you plan on staying in the Philippines like I did then become a permanent resident. It is not cheap so check it out early so you will know how much to save. And your first child is probably less then a year away. Oh well my wife just said tama na it is your business not mine. I told her I mean it in a helpful way I hope. Enjoy life as I am back living in the land of ice and snow due to health reasons. Best to you guys.
Thank you Bob
Good budget. Can only be accomplished because you guys work together. Beautiful.
You're truly are a very lucky man to have such a beautiful filipina that obviously is very content with you...your situation gives guys like me hope that I can go to PH and find a simple woman, and have that kind of contentment also,..... man, as soon as my passport arrives, I gotta get my ass over to PH and search for my own angel...
Hi I'm avid fans of Marcel and brain too I'm an how here on Oman waitting for my forever too but I'm separated have 3sons growing up already and they have there on job

Thank you Ken for your kind words and interest in our channel. 😊
Brian stop smoking we just went to a funeral in the Philippines a close friend and my wife's brother I law died because of dam cigarettes the wife was heartbroken do you want to put yours through the pain
Odds are since I am 20 years older than maricel she will have to endure that pain someday whether I continue to smoke or not. Everyone dies.
Monthly income expense, Good for you. I live on $40. A month after bills are paid, & i,m happy too. Keep being happy. She Loves you.... you can see that. Your friend in, Ontario, Canada. Neal Madill.

Hi loida acosta nice to meet u
Hi Brain & Maricel.. Our normal power bill is 5K up 7 k a month but we have my loving fiance`s nephews and inang mother & Apong / Lolo = grandfather living with us we help put the 6 kids nieces & nephews through their schooling to help the pamilya as mch as I can ..but I too am very blessed also we work together, my adorable loving fiance` Merlita is the one who Manages keeps the books & our budget under Awesome control, Especially when I have to have the Aircon on during the part of the afternoon & specially at night , Except the Rainy Season Power bill goes down, cause it is cool air here...haha Not like back in Pacific North west Washington winter time or back East or Mid west /Central part of the Country.. But around harvesting the rice Season time in the fields it get very hard to breath the air for anyone I feel so bad for the young kids & the Elderly having to breath this damaging smoke in their Lungs But nothing I can do and Sadly as my Doctor told me that I have Bronchopneumonia So I have to stay in doors this time of Season as the nasty Burning of the Rice stocks piles get going at times Can get Very bad here for the people with Lung problems Living in the Ilocos Sur. Area,
Thank God you don`t have this in your Area... So your billing is low which it is great .. Thanks for the Awesome videos keep up the great work and as always I wish you all the very best you two ... God bless us all
I’m watching you guys - I like your vegetable garden; I enjoy watching you guys
Thank you Emma
Yes, there is mandatory car insurance in the Philippines. It is required during yearly vehicle registration. One is required to purchase at least a Third Party Liability (TPL) insurance for one year before you can register your car. If you are making installment payments on your vehicle, the Comprehensive Insurance (CI) is already built in, as a mandatory requirement, in your monthly amortization. Thanks for your wonderful informative videos. What makes them interesting is that they are not too long, like others. Concise and not boring.
My in laws tell me 90% of insurance is worthless! I've seen a few vlogs from expats suggesting a few legitimate companies...
Hahaha no more cigarettes on the list next month. You two are funny! Nice vlogs though 😋
Dang dude, you got it made👍. Mine is pretty close: 200 water, 1500-3500 electric depending on aircon, 2500 internet (but it’s special), my wife buys load 10 pesos at a time 😂. I buy 500 at a time. Food? We eat out 1/3 of the time. TV 800, rent 15000-30000 depending on where we are. Oh well, you get the idea. It would be nice to be living in the province farming 😁👍
I can live in Texas for 2000 US a month and that is including my 772.00 mortgage. I believe I could live on 1500.00 US in the Philippines and live a western lifestyle comfortably. 3000.00 a month to live in the Philippines?????
I live in Texas, near Dallas, in an average house and my property taxes are 9k. Texas is very expensive.
@@jackfrost-fu7hz My tax rate is 1.452% I have a 3/2 brick ranch 2000 sq ft. in a quiet neighborhood with very low crime. I have a very roomy nice comfortable home. Appraised between 115-125000$ I'm assuming you live in Dallas Co. where the property tax is 2.173%. That means your home is around 410-420000 according to the Dallas, Co. appraisers office, average home, for 2018? Austin is 1.973%. Houston, TX is 2.259% on your home. You have to also take into consideration, Dallas is a Blue city, like Austin, Houston, San Antonio. Democrat areas always cost more to live in. Bet your gas & energy prices are higher too. I just filled up my pickup and car, 1.86 at Exxon and being I used my Exxon Credit card I will get another.03 discount per gallon. Is gas 1.83 a gallon in Dallas? My sister lives in Pt. Neches, TX on the coast, she told me she paid 1.72 a gallon.
If you live in the big city, you are going to pay a whole lot more. Manila, Makati is expensive. Angeles City can be expensive, Cebu can be expensive. You are living in a home that is appraised at almost a half million dollars. Take that same home and put it in any major city on the west coast or east coast from the Carolinas up to Maine and see what your tax level would. My ex-wife's Aunt lived in Pt. Jervis, NY she was paying 10000$ on a 400000$ home 20-25 years ago. I can't imagine what it is now. She lives in the middle of the state. It depends a lot on where you want to live in our country. I prefer the country. It's cleaner, safer and much cheaper than the big city. If you shop around, you find what you want. The taxes where I live for your home would be 6000$ My taxes are 1742$ a year. That's pretty cheap.
We live off 20,000 peso a month and we're doing good there 5 in my house hold we're in Mindanao.got love the Philippines,you better keep rice for your wife,better get her a tv.lol
Hi Maricel and Brian you both are hilarious! I enjoyed your video! Where you guys live in Bohol? I'm also from Bohol (Dimiao). We'll be in Bohol sometime this year hope to meet you both ! New subscriber here! 💖

Thank you for your explanation
Well done do take insurances instead of smoking
You are blessed with an amazingly beautiful lady
Thank you Stanley and yes, I am truly blessed. 😊
the sari where you buy your load does the loading it for you, just give her your number and the amount of money, i buy unlimited text for 30 days to all networks gounli500 globe there comes some data and calls but its not much. i pay 12.000 which is relative cheap for this 2br house total of 100 square meters in the heart of quezon city. tip for buying a tv buy at Lazada online look for Ace, (brand), a 32 inch 5199 flatscreen thats just over 100 dollar i payed 15000 for a 50 inch the wellknown brands would charge 50000 for that or more
I can see Maricel is strict but in the end she always smiles & laugh...I really like u guys showing your humble life in the farm a typical Filipino lifestyle...🙏
Nice ang Humble couple!
$3000 us a month they said they can't live on that a month.where the heck are they living.i have lived off of way way less a month. For years.thats crazy they said that.
Robert Seefus living off and income are 2 totally different things.

We cancelled our Cable 15 years ago. It is great without
I'm with you 🤠
You have great chemistry together, making your video a joy to watch
Great video!
So she can't have a TV, but you can smoke?
Yes...
I like your channel Brian. You have a nice mix of farming, living and daily life stories. Thanks for your efforts.
It’s about the same as in Europe in a rural area
I enjoyed your comment about no TVs. lol
My girl and I have been together for about two years of the states now and we have never watched the tv, probably because it was replaced by TH-cam. lol
wow
I plan to move to Philippines soon ..my pension is about 50,000 pesos, hope is enough for condo rent tv aircon internet and food expenses. i dont drink or smoke
Depending on where you decide to live..you should be fine.👍
Depending on where you decide to live..you should be fine.👍
Please keep up the good videos. Yes you are right people Can live on 40000 pesos and live good in the Philippines.
Mark messick yah thats right if you know how to manage
How sweet couple
First time I watching ur vlog
💖💖💖💖
Does anyone invest in solar or wind turbines to cut cost on their electrical bill?
We have 550 watts of solar
Phil health used to cover a married couple for that money! But, it'll cost you about $400.00 per year, Brian. I'm not sure if any upgraded coverages are available for expats, but i know the "Z" plan, for cancer and such, is not available to non-citizens. Vehicle insurance in the PI's appears to be 90% worthless, but I have read some vloggers' posts stating western style insurance can be had, but only via a few reliable companies. It's not anywhere near as bad as driving uninsured in Mexico! LOL! I wouldn't drive without it in any good sized city personally... $3,000.00 per month is more like an Angeles city party animal's budget, to be sure! lol! Satellite TV is 3,600php or so, then you load the system via phone 120-150 php per month on Mindanao. YMMV!
My Honda Click bike insurance recently here was less than 700 pesos, equivalent to 13 US Dollars a year!
Y’all are so cute. I love the way you joke and pick at each other and laugh . It makes me want to come live there .. “we don’t watch tv .. we don’t have tv “ ... lol .. so funny .. and don’t forget .. Mericel has icecreme sometimes with Lovely Mae 😻💞I just love you guys ! And I love watching your videos ..
Thank you Linda👍
Marcel needs TV just watch Eat Bulaga it’s funny show.
May God keep u healthy😇🙏😘
Hello and thank you for the videos. I am a new subscriber. I am watching your videos from oldest to newest. I know you said you were in your 50's no pension and no SS and you went back to the US for a while to earn money for the land and piggery. But my questions is are you living on savings or are you able to now live off the income from the pigs, chickens, etc? Thank you and I will continue to follow!
Just now at break even
@@aforeignerfarminginthephil3374 Ok great thank you. For me I am working online. I live in the Philippines but I am still 43 years old so no pension and SS. I am looking for ways for us to make money that does not involve me working online and the graveyard schedule (US times). So that's why your channel is helpful. I hope to learn from your trials and have a business that I can just live out in the country and not worry or stress about if we will have income. My wife has land in her province and we are seriously thinking to do the same type of setup as you. So I really like that you have this channel and thank you again so much for taking the time to make them so we can learn the basics of life and business out in the province. Good luck to you, your wife to be, and your 5 dogs. :) God bless you.
It's our pleasure
Bohol is the rip off island, produce here is more expensive than any other part of the Philippines, wealthy identities monopolise this island for example ICM every franchise is owned by ICM chicken and seafood is controlled also buy them I’m now back in Cebu and loving it
If you can give the smoking away, you will feel better, we lived on $100.00 NZ a week for 8 people and yes I used aircon but only night time
Hi. Why 35 exchange rate? Its been 54 for a month now.
Maybe he's Canadian
youre right,if am not mistaken usd kase nakalagay if canadian dollar dpat CAD nakalagay...ed canadian dollar nga around 39+ eh,kapag nasa province na kase money changer mas mababa bili nila sa dolyar,unlike in Manila.
Hehehehe nice video
See this is the honest videos on cost of living I like cause you are correct. I can come here on my vacation and I don’t even spend 1,500 for my 2 weeks here and that includes motel and eating out plus cabs most places 90% of traveling plus tip for driver. So someone who has to live on 3,000 a month has very high standards and I just want necessarily items 1) home 2) vehicle with air con 3) sleeping in air con.
