I just saw this video that came up in my feed. My wife and I moved to the Philippines a little over 5 years ago after I retired. We had traveled around the Philippines so we had an idea of where we wanted to live. Our daughter and her Husband lived in Alfonso, a small city west of Taygaytay. We found a house being built out in the country/jungle and we fell in love with it. The climate here was perfect for me and we have a lot of fruit trees, coffee trees and Cacao trees. I also just did a video of my yard. My wife opened a Liquor Store in Alfonso, so that keeps her busy and I make videos around the area. This is a great place to live and we love it.
Absolutely agree. The weather is amazing. I just dont want to travel more than 10 mins for a beach on the ocean. Once we are done traveling around we will probably settle somewhere on Palawan.
@@lostslowtraveler Palawan was on our short list, but since I am an. old fart we decided I needed to near really good medical care and the VA clinic in Manila. Of course my wife wanted to be closer to family. We got that here. We don't live in a gated community so we have 5 dogs now. They are friendly dogs but they let us know when some critters are on our property. When we want to travel, familly stays at our house and takes care of the dogs. We enjoy our life here and the people that live near us.
@@lostslowtraveler I do have a sevice connected disablity but some sevices I can't get there. I do get the vaccines and 6th month physicals there. For other services, I just go to the Taygaytay Medical Center. It's not that expensive. My medicines I just go to Mercury Drugs.

In case you don't already know, the VA only takes care of service connected issues here.

Building a house now in Tagaytay. Be there in April. Ready now!!
Exciting times
How much did it cost to build the house ? How many squares meters?
Nice video; I’m about 2 years from retirement and I am considering Tagaytay for our home 😊
Thank you for watching. The only thing it's missing is the ocean nearby.
What's the mode of commuting within the city for tourists?
There are very few taxis and we couldn't find any motorbike rentals so mostly tricycles
It is expensive for rent there. Crap…
