- Thank you for watching this video! Family back home seeing more of our trip, the work and effort a vacation can take is not simple to explain. We are just halfway through this fact finding mission and part vacation. More Jay giving his thoughts and updates next videos. #NewDadAdventure #PhilippinesTravel #TravelVlog #Philippines #BeachEscape #FamilyVlog
When your broke and exhausted you just need to tell them honestly and they'll definitely understand and help you about it. That's how Filipino Family Works. You don't need to be shy or be ashamed of the situation.
Yes, they looked after us and always so sweet and kind. I've gotten a great family. Thank-you friend. Jay
@@jaysphilippines keep it going. More power and God Bless u and your family.
PRACTICLY HIS TAKEN CARE EVERY ONE .HE SHOULD IT LET THAT YOUNG GIRLONLY THE 3 OF US BUT ALLOWED HER WHOLE FAMILY TO BE PART OF HIM THATS ABUSIVE AND HARDLY NO ONE SEE HIS CHANNEL CAUSE IS ALL ABOUT THEM ANS IT GETS BORING
Great experience Jay...but you have to check first the nearest and cheapest hotel to stay on. It doesn't matter if it's not a luxurious hotel the important is you can manage ur expenses by having quality time for your family. I mean there's a lot of places in the Philippines where you can save more money. By the way, I didn't see any ads on your video. Man...put some ads and I will support you.. no skipping ads bro. We will support your channel. ❤❤❤
Out first videos wasn't monetized yet. Our newest ones are. Thank you. Jay
maganda pala dyan..naway thanks Jay for this video..watching from Zambales
That's awesome, love hearing where people are watching from. Be safe my friend
Had a lot of fun watching your adventure w/ fam !! ❤❤
Thank you dear! 😊
Wow beautiful waterfalls
Waterfalls are gorgeous around here.
thx Jay ,,great video !
Thank you very much Mr.Gary. appreciate that!
that's so nice that you stayed in the philippines for your baby daughter
It's a easy choice, I love the Phil's, looking forward to spending next 30-40years there. Thank you 😊 jay
HELLo kiere youre so beautiful like your mom😉 my husband is watching your vlog @jay's philippines
😀, thank you dear!!! 😊
You stayed in a high end place. That is not how you spend your vacation anywhere. Should have gone to palawan or somewhere where the cost of vacation doesn't reach sky high. Bad planning. Urban areas cost a lot!
I didn't know all that. I probably shouldn't have bought land here then. 😕
You shoudnt your wife didnt tell u tht?@@jaysphilippines
@@jaysphilippines
There's nothing wrong for buying a land as long as it is accessible, you can build a poultry farm for a passive income, free range chicken is much better and then you can build a restaurant and chicken grillers after the poultry successfully flowing well. another option to build is a fish farm, milkfish and catfish and tilapia then you can establish a fish grill or restaurant.🤔
One of the key to be successful in life is buy what you need not what you want 😕
Hi...please support Jay's videos. Hopefully ads will soon appear on his channel. Don't skip ads please... ❤❤❤ Thanks
What a beautiful country side, the ocean and the mountains.
Great vids
Thank you
Biliran is full of fishing grounds. Should've tried it to learn to earn a living in that part of the country. Plan well next time. Open scuba diving school in that town. It will help you augment expenses.
Appreciated!
nice!
Thank you Ernesto 😊. Jay
Nice to see you with the family
Sinulog is going on now. My wife has already gone to church 3-4 times. So much Jesus. Have fun.
Lol. I recall being excited about that years ago. Somehow managed to avoid it all. It's a lot to take in. :) enjoy it all. 😀
Looks like everyone was having a great time
Yes, we really did even though it was really tiresome
Nice falls❤
They are gorgeous

Great video and awesome adventure brother. Ormoc ? My parents is actually from Leyte also but, I’ve never been there. Someday 😁 take care guys .

Come to Angeles City, there is grill called Con Con in the friendship area. They stay open from 6 pm- 3am 7 days a week. They have some of the best food in the Philippines, and the cost is not high. Great owner and staff. I'm sure you would have a great time and just love the awesome food😊😊
Yes, probably 2025. 2024 is kinda busy already. But 2025 lookin good. Like to stay in the area for a month. Thanks man. 👍
Please visit with your family here in Iloilo City and Iloilo Province and you will also enjoy..

I know, met many people who not heard of it or been there. Lol thank you. 😊 jay
Fun day is winding down for all. Tomorow a new day.
Yes it is. Glad your with us! Thanks. Jay
Hey Jay! Subscriber from Texas here. First, I would like to say that you have a beautiful family. I'm hoping to have one like yours so you are an inspiration to many of us. I was in Dumaguete in March and went to Valencia and Siquijor. I'm planning to be back in the Philippines in mid-February. Hoping to be in Cebu, Iloilo, and Dumaguete, maybe Davao. Plans change. I will land in Cebu and was actually looking at the Golden Prince Hotel yesterday online. I also looked at Hotel Elizabeth across the street and Hopp Inn on the other side of Ayala Mall. My question is, how was the Golden Prince Hotel? I am not picky at all. All a hotel needs to be is clean, have hot water, a comfortable bed and good wi-fi. The gym was nice too. I am a short guy, but fit like you. Did they have a free breakfast or did you have to go out for breakfast? Any information you can give me will be very helpful. Keep doing what you're doing! The vlogs are great!
Hey buddy, appreciate the response and questions. Thank you. The Golden prince was ok, it had pros and cons. What you said you needed it had. Wifi seemed fine, clean bed, nothing fancy at all. Shower was OK, make sure they fill with shampoo and body wash, both times was empty, but they immediately sent someone to fill. Gym was plenty good enough. My big complaint if I was complaining was air, it worked but was weak. If your solo, might be fine. We stayed 3 xs and each air was the same, weak, but worked. It was close to ayala, if it wasn't for ayala and free breakfast I'd pass. But for right at 40, the pros barely beat the cons. Breakfast is plentiful but I've had better, if you like eggs, ask them to make them for you fresh, ask If they have bacon or hashbrowns. They didn't have them out on the buffett but made them for me after not knowing I could have asked. 😞 I used agoda, they have choices for rooms without breakfast that was cheaper. I guess it's worth the 5 or so for the free breakfast just for the convenience of it all. So, gym, small grocery in hotel, water and snacks, 7-11 across steet 15 seconds away for more snacks. Ayala close, it wins barely. But for same price next time close to ayala and breakfast, we would def try another one. But couldn't find gym, price, breakfast next to ayala. So golden prince won. Hope you find the the girl,don't mess it up. Lol pick the good girl, not the bathing suit queen. 🤣 she has had plenty of men already. I found a 33 yr old virgin, no boyfriends or kids, they exist all over. Patience, and you'll have those kids for sure. STAY IN TOUCH. be safe!
@@jaysphilippines Hey Jay! Thanks for the info. It is very helpful. I want to stay close to Ayala Mall where everything is in walking distance. I can afford to pay more and don't mind paying more, but I am not there for fancy hotels, I'm there for the experience. So long as the air is working, I am fine. I don't like it that cold anyway. I will try the Golden Prince this time. If I don't like it, I will try a different one the next time. Keep up the great work with the vlogs. It won't be long before you get to 5k and even less time to get to 10k.
When I was there recently I stayed in 5 different hotels and none had a decent gym. The two I tried at the hotels were unkempt with their machines out of order. So I tried the "Anytime Fitness" they had and it was a disappointment. But that gym you showed us looked alot better. Which city is the Golden Prince hotel?
I hate anytime fitness philippines. Never walk in one for free. If I can find dumbells I consider it a victory. But the gym multi fit in dumaguete. 30 bucks a month no contract and the equipment and girls. Can't complain one bit. I'm always biggest in gym, always. I know there are other big guys around. But rarely bump into another. They usually stay out of your way. Always have great workout there totally recommend it. Golden prince was cebu city near ayala malls. I recommend it, but just barely. Without being near ayala, nope. Breakfast is decent, gym will work, air con was barely adequate.
Jay, will you be doing a total cost of your 3 or 4 month stay in Phils?
💯 absolutely. We head back to ky, might visit brother for a week in Florida around Feb 13th. I am curious myself. Probably have one around mid Feb. Be back in ky around late Feb. I'll put it together in florida at brothers house. Has a nice deck on a intercoastal water way. Be good to do it there. Thanks
Your daughter has the talent. She can sing.
Thank you William! 😊 I am hoping so. 🙏 jay
Deymn! invite your inlaw to the gym. High blood pressure, stroke and heart attack is prone in the Philippines.
Yeah, sadly it's to late for that.
Whats up Jay, from Texas. Curious about Biliran island, what did you think about that area of the Philly Willie?
After my biliran Experience, with the family there and extended family nearby islands, I'd be a fool not to embrace the area. Biliran will likely be future home of some kind. Very beautiful, much to explore, could take rest of my life just in that area alone. Lol
@@jaysphilippines nice, I just worrie about getting bored on the smaller islands any update on business ideas? I only ask because I'm about the same age as you and not ready to retire so to speak. Thanks for the content bud.
Beautiful child
Thanks 👍 😊
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Donna! 😊 jay
And in your old age the younger generation will be there for you, caring
So far homes for the aged are still not that popular here, the children themselves will want to have you around where they can see to your needs
Thank you dulcet! 😊 jay
Are you trying to learn the language? Bisaya or Tagalog.? Nice content.
I'll be fluent in the next 2-3 years. That's the goal. Thank you for comment. Jay
Watching her in Cebu City lahug
We ❤️ cebu city also. Daughter was born there.
Hi Jay, nice to have some quiet, fun, relaxing time with the in-laws over there. Looks like you guys had fun. That ‘health food’ store looked expensive! $4 for a cookie?! Where exactly were you hanging out with the family at the beach, waterfall, etc.? Near Cebu? I lost track, was this a family visit on your way back to the US? Amping, David in southern, Japan.
The video, a few back, "this is what I'm here for" that's the holiday video with the family, she used some more of the video again because her family is watching the videos. Her family is big. It was Biliran Island, lovely place. Could be the future spot for sure. All of that was her hometown beach and waterfall, Cabucgayan city in Biliran. Her family farm up the mountain in the jungle, was kinda awesome, if war breaks out I got a pretty good get away if we are here. That part was in the morning walk/ mountain hike video. The health food store was in ayala mall, I'm just grateful they have a few stores to get thos high calorie protein snacks. Other wise be eating more and more chicken and eggs.
Philipines needs more 24 hour cafes and restos. Comfortable ones with stock 😢
I got tired of things closes at 9 or 10pm, and nothing open until 10am. Especially considering the heat.
I can't tell you how many times this week. Sorry sir, we don't have hamburger. But this is a hamburger business. Just chicken sir. Waffle place. No waffle sir. Just chicken and rice. Lol I stopped lett8ng it bother me. Just makes my diet easier.
hey mike, pls. dont compare our country to yours, and we dont intend to change things just because you can do what u want. our culture is definitely different than yours. pls respect each other cultures. we filipinos like to sleep early so the stores needs to be close at 10pm.
@@EdingDurani know right. i cant understand these foreigners. They make drastic decisions to live in developing countries, for lower cost of living -- but refuses to let go of privileges, comfort and conveniences. THE PHILIPPINES IS NOT THE SAME AS YOUR COUNTRY. If you cannot take that, by all means leave. Take your complaints and grievances to other places where negativity is a norm... better yet, STAY HOME!
Dude, I think he's just recommending, but if he implied it to degrade our Country, then there is something wrong with him! 🤔🤔🤔
@@rainierdy2808 recommending to whom? who is he addressing it to? if it is not directed to the actual person who can take an action or implement the change, then its nothing but a complaint.
you are in my neighborhood now. It looks like your in-laws are in the town of Billiaran? I am moving to Oromo by August of this year. I have land on both sides of the national Hwy in Leyte, Leyte Bray Back where I will build a house net year. Move to Billiaran and we can hang with the other expats at Chamorita between Naval and Billiarn in Bray Catmon. I enjoy your videos, your daughter is Darling, I have a son that will be 5 in March. Half white children are considered very special.next time your in town stop by my farm across from Baco elementary and I will let you guys ride my caribou. My wife went to Naval state.
Thank you so much!! She is my world for sure. Yes, that Cabucgayan biliran, that's her family all around there. I could see def living there and building houses. I'd love to have another son for sure. 5 years old is a good age. Hope to learn more about leyte and biliran this year as our goal is to build houses all over.
Love to visit sometime, especially seeing your farm. Stay in touch for sure. Papalolo, I'll remember the name. :)
Wow ! Everything was beautiful, what great fun …. Including karaoke! You have a beautiful family …. wife and daughter ! God Bless You !! 💖💖
IT DOESNT HAPPEN TO ANYONE IT NOT BCOZ IT HAPPEN TO YOU THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ALL
Yeah, it happens. :)
Amen
AMEN
Did you find the hidden village of Biliran? Hehe 😅
Hmmm, the hidden village, do tell. We did find some off the road hidden "village" or group of 🏘 . Lol
@@jaysphilippines haha. That's a Philippine folklore that there's a mystery village in Biliran. Surprised that no one from the family tell you that. 😅
When you are extremly rich the life is fun in philippines🎉
But don't expect that if you have a small salary as every filipino have...
Thankfully I don't. Could you imagine having a filipino salary and spending 10k on a random philippine vacation for the heck of it. 😀
Wow Happy Viewing your Vlog guys, this is my First time met your YTChannel , Thanksomuch 👍 🎉
just Subscribed Done now January 21/24 watching you from San Pablo City LAGUNA PHILIPPINES
Glad to have you here Gina!! :) 😀 love to see and hear where everyone is from. Glad you found us. Be safe and hope to see more comments. 🙏
Done sub.. am from Leyte too❤
Glad to have you!! 😀
Jay, ive been in the car with a bunch of filipinas before. I don't even try to understand them.
Lol, only been with the one here. 🤣
You have nice teeth haha 😁
Blushing! Lol 😆
Vlogger sana pag mag drive ka ng motor mag suot ka ng helmet...just follow kung ano ang rules kung mag drive ka...it is for your own safety
I live like the locals.
I was surprised that don't go into TGIFridays and go pay that $20 a plate?
TJI Friday, I don't really recommend them, 😆 but the burger is good. They are high, service is hit and miss. We go because we went there when she was a baby.
@@jaysphilippines Went there once ~ saw all the expats Had one beer for $4 ~said to myself, If I wanted a $4 SM draft beer, I would stayed in Florida ~ went right next door on the left (50 feet)~ got the same beer for $1.08 on the exchange rate of 52. Friday's Menu was $20 a plate, Went next door 100 ft and it was $5 a plate. O I love expats ~ see ya in March 5th
Of course you're broke
Its as expensive as hawaii
Food gasoline gas etc
Except housing But you can't own land so thats moot
Broke & tired? That's what you'll become marrying a Fil from the province, you're marrying the whole barangay of relatives & their unending wants & needs... All bcuz the dream to catch a foreigner is like a story of Cinderella & their troubles are now yours to keep 😂😂😂
Oooofff. 😀
Your wife is a pinay she must HELP you how to save money and budget.
She does, she is hard worker. 😊 🙏
PH is not the ideal country for foreigners to settle foreigners in PH can't even own small portions of lands & have very limited rights foreigners can obtain PH citizenship if born & raised in PH like the prominent Spanish Ayala family which is not the case of foreign expat newcomers
When you have a baby in the Philippines, my blood is now Asian. Those comments while I'm sure your have no ill intention and I don't mean any harm back. But they mean nothing now, to a foreigner without children, sure. But to me, my blood is now Asian and I'm forever tied to this country regardless of the "law" . Thanks for the warm welcome 🙏🤗
@@jaysphilippines Filipinos in general are not racist but the PH government is
@@josepanicucci8591 well, I am not going into that subject, lol. But. 😀 I have been and have felt welcomed for the most part, I'm sure some expats wish I wasn't.
You married a Filipina from a remote place.
Thankfully yes. :)
Click bait title. Thanks, Jay.
Lol 😆
You come across as a junior high Netflix influencer..... ha, what a joke.....
Haha, anonymous no pic 🤣
