  • I decided to stop today and shoot some video of these cabanas and how they make them. The artisan uses a hand saw, chisel, and hammer to create these beautiful Philippine cabanas. For the slats, they split small bamboo. Sanded and lacquered, these portable bamboo nipa huts are so beautiful and functional. Energy efficient and no electric bills. Leganes Iloilo, Philippines. 30,000php or about $680usd.
    Phone is: 0908.821.1342 My later video that had the phone number was deleted. I used Google maps to find this phone number. Not sure if this is the same one, but there are several right in the same area. Here is Google Map's link: www.google.com...

    Great talent & skill the builders did with bamboo huts, cabanas,
    gazebos, even bamboo furniture. Great video Mike. Within the
    next few years, I'm planning on moving back to the Philippines
    for good & live out my life there.

    Very nice. I’m wondering about the bigger size geckos though. They seem to love bamboo. Nice work.

      My Philippine Journey I don’t mind the smaller ones but it’s the 6 inch variety that gives me creeps. I’m presently in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental not far from you. I’m a big fan.

      @@myphilippinejourneytravelinfo Thank you for the reply... anyway, I have seen how Japanese heat treat bamboo to make it last. Varnished bamboos turn brittle so bad inside if exposed to weather conditions. Varnished bamboos are only good for indoor furniture.

    $600 dollars for such Craft , Wow
    These master bamboo crafts people should move to other nations and build these structures
    Absolutely wonderful .
    250,000 pesos is only slightly over €4000 euro's , Shocking really .
    Probably build us a massive bamboo home for €10.000 €£$
    Very interesting indeed .

    Great little house at an incredible price. But I wonder what is the anti-termite used on the bamboo. Those chemical are often cancinogenic.
    Happy New Year. May you enjoy your stay in the Philippines and find the right woman for you.

    • @mikhailbulgakov1472
      @mikhailbulgakov1472 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Cypermethrin is the active ingredient. The World Healh Organisation has classified it as moderately hazardous and the latest study indicates that it may be cancinogenic. See the following link for more info www.pan-uk.org/pestnews/Actives/cypermet.htm I would not live in a house treated with anti-termite chemical.

    Hello, thanks for your videos.
    I'm a Filipino American living in the U.S. for 25 years now. My husband and I are planning to spend 6 months in the Philippines and 6 months in the U.S. when we retires in 2 years.
    My question is, is he U.S. health insurance acceptable in the Philippines? We have a United Heath Care insurance thru my husbands Union.
    Can we get a local health insurance there? I am 58 and he is 63 years old. Perfect health and athletic but we want to have peace of mind just in case of emergency.
    Thanks and hoping you can answer my questions.

    Hi Mike, How long have you been living here, i don't want to sound condescending but you are well uniformed, huts are for garden and beach locations and are heavily infested with worms which are highly nutritious, you need to treat this hut frequently as it will need tlc, A place for Karoke and a hangover.

    Now even U.S. retirees can afford a beach home. And talk about an aspiring entrepreneurship, if the builder could build and sell one a week he might do several times the average monthly income Philippines, and likely have more disposable then a lot "Advanced Age" workers have right here in the U.S.
