Congratulations Mergin!You got the perfect condo.Very beautiful!Put some plants to make it more beautiful coz Green color represents life. Enjoy and stay safe.
Lived in One Uptown Residences two years ago and paid for the same unit 27k/month (incl. association dues). Pretty confident I‘d get the same rate again or even lower. Don‘t forget it‘s a renters market in BGC. So there is always room for negotiation. The condo itself is great; the only problem I had was with the 2 standard air conditioner that come with every unit: 1. They have no inverter, so the electric bill would be twice as high 2. The engine/s are installed under the floor, so it gets pretty loud.
@@michaelcorleone8795 yep I think this guy is getting ripped off hard just because he is a foreigner and has no idea what the actual rents are in philippines. Again I could get a 1 bedroom condo for 14K in SMDC Mezza 2 towers that has swimming pool, sky lounge etc.
prior pandemic, the 1BR units like yours in One Uptown rents for 30K(simple but fully furnished) to 40K (nicely interior designed). after pandemic, lessors offer 25K but still not a lot of takers because most locals work from home already and the expat employees are still not that many like in 2019.
SILENT subscriber here Mergim... I've always waiting for your vlog since you transfer to BGC and meeting with Juicy Vlogs George and Lucy.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤞👍👆✌️🇵🇭💯👊
Glad to know that your TH-cam channel is already self sustaining. I remember when you were just starting your vlog in the Philippines, it was difficult.
Good morning Mergim 🇵🇭❤️thanks so much for showing the beautiful BGC ❤️ and answering the long awaited questions 🤣 I hope that you can meet the Wistl Family from the UK. Family of 5 with 3 young children...lovely family.
You really are getting good with the clips you're presenting. The way you make mini montage like shots shows how you keep on getting better and better. Keep it up Pinoy Mergim! And as always, take care!
Love your promotion of the Philippines, Mergim! Over the years, I've always wondered why it is so underrated and undiscovered by foreign travellers! Until You tube came about and thru vloggers such as yourself, the world saw us through your eyes ❤. I'm Filipino from the Bay area here in Calif and grateful to you and others for what you do to showcase the Philippines! Thanks much🙏🏼🥰.
..coz it depends on the person visiting the Philippines. Some don’t like to see malls and fake Venice canal,they could go to Italy to see the real thing. Some also like to see and know old culture like temples or pagodas (Thailand,Siemp Reap,Indonesia etc). I’ve been to those place and the accomodation is so much cheaper (with all the amenities) than in our own country,unfortunately.
@@solotraveller888 that person visiting will usually go to islands like Boracay, El nido etc. not just to visit malls. The fake venice canal provides variety otherwise philippines ia big
Because Philippines probably has the worst food in Asia. The crime, the crappy infrastructure, etc Oh and because the culture is basically American..boring. If not for the beaches and sex tourism, no one would come here
🤣🤣they were literally quoting him a foreigner price for a 1Bedroom. hahah If you really want to look for places in PH esp BGC, visiting the condos is one option, 2 is looking at carousel for property listings or lamaudi / facebook marketplace is also a good bet as there are specific groups even for foreigners to get reasonable rates and not be given a special rate.
Could you explain how those scooters you seemingly just walk up and use in some of your videos work? are you renting them,?if so how does that arrangement work? what is the average price for a 1 bedroom and does the price vary from floor to floor? for instance is it more expensive the higher you go? Is one uptown the name of your tower or the name of the area you live in? I am a retired American air force veteran considering a move to the Philippines. I once used to fly C-141 military transports into Clark Air Base for the USAF. before Mount Pinatubo blew its top and covered the place in ash. Can a condo be purchased in the neighborhood of 100,000 pesos or are they all a 1,000,000 pesos or more to buy? Could you also share an email address with me?
It started and my nerves is feeling it...the Philippines now showing what the "Garden of Eve" was. All races will come and notice that this is it. For sure most of you will read and get back to this post/comment when time comes. Color of our skin (like the soil) and the location. For sure Adam and Eve could live here all year round naked before they were banned. So be prepare kababayan. Accept those who will return to the "Garden". Crime will surely goes from many to few to possibly rare to none in some places. I said be prepared as that time will come.
I don't see how anyone working in the Philippines pays these prices. For my current job, at 80k in the US averages 20k in the Philippines. That's like $650/month. these condo's are the smaller than my living room and only about 30% less cost than my house.
how noisy is it from your room? I am interested in moving to BGC but I heard the phiippines is very noisy. Do you hear a lot of noise from traffic down below? Do your neighbors make a ton of noise?
As an American expat living in Metro Manila and having the misfortune of renting in one of these high rise condo buildings let me tell you how it really is. Ok 40 sq mtrs is about 400 sq ft. I don’t believe we have 1 bedroom apartments in the USA that are anywhere near that small, most are 900-1,000 sq ft. I lived in one for 8 months and grew to hate it very quickly. With the Covid lockdown it was like living in a Jail Cell. It’s terribly claustrophobic. I moved out and rented a 94 sq mtr house, much larger than I needed but at 40% less than the Condo. Ok, rent a Condo for a month while you find a nicer larger place, any longer and the temptation to jump starts to seem like a reasonable solution. Of course I’m joking but not by much.
I came acroos your channel while getting back to watch "The juicy vlog" Goerge and Lucy together with their baby Koda, they are also from UK. They used to live in BGC and bought a Condo in Mackenly area.. Thanks for show casing The Land of my birth, Philipppines. My family now live in Calgary 🇨🇦
my history teacher told me that Christmas is racist. and that Christmas trees are racist, he told me they're only for white people . but I know in my heart Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and that I celebrate his birth was Christmas and I always will no matter what my teacher tells me. love wins over hate
Here in Aklan.... $128 USD/ mo. Olympic sized pool. 2 bedrooms... 2nd story. Cant beat it. It doesn't have to be top dollar when you venture out of the Manilla region.
I live in Taguig and still lucky to be paying less than 100usd for my rented apartment per month and I can easily go to BGC anytime with just my e-scooter or ride hailing services. BGC is super pricey, and only caters to expats and those who don’t earn local currency. I guess it’s better for him to buy the unit instead of just renting. 50K php per month is crazy. I can use that for my house equity and downpayment lol.
Boy, I’m paying about P85K per month through Airbnb in an AVIDA building right near you. I’m feeling silly, though everything is paid for, including electricity, internet, Netflix, toilet paper, weekly cleaning.
If you are earning 2K US dol monthly from your vlog without thinking saving and it is just only for fun and vlogging. Im not sure if that 2K will be sufficient to live in BGC area. The food in any restaurants in BGC is comparatively the same as western countries.
I used to rent a shared condo space in Avida 9th with interior designed furnishings for P10,000/month back in 2018. The bed was a nice wooden double deck. I think the area was around 35sqm.
Hi Meegim!!! gosh i missed Philippines. Hope I can come home and visit family next year. I just came across your channel coz im missing Manila. Hope your channel will grow bigger! I’m going to binge watch your videos! hehehe And i’m gonna subscribe my 4 yt accounts hahaha Keep it and Congratulations! enjoy the Philippines!
In the Philippines, Mergim we start countdown for Christmas at the first day of the "Ber Months" which is September to December. We have the longest Christmas celebration in the world which I missed big time living here in the UK, there's a different vibe and mood hearing Christmas songs and seeing these beautiful decors, Christmas, it's more fun in the Philippines. 😉
Congratulation again, Uptown Residence, is a great place, I know because I have clients that are unit owners, and since then, their investments more than doubled.
I lived in Makati 2020. 1 year lease on an upscale condo. My monthly bills were rent, globe wifi, electric and water. I noticed all the Filipino locals didn’t live in Makati, only worked and left usually around 8pm nightly when the malls and businesses closed. They live in shared boarding houses and apartments in nearby cheaper cities and commute in jeepneys and MRT/LRT. The only time I spent in Makati was asleep in my condo, grocery shopping and eating in restaurants. Most of my day I “hung out” in the neighboring cities where the Filipinos lived. My advice is rent month to month until you get involved in a relationship then most likely that girl will want to transfer to her province unless she is in the city working . That’s why you see many foreigners living in provinces on various islands…. Reason for this is many Filipino girls(not all but most) are stubborn and will only want to live in the province with her family….that’s the mindset. So if her family lives in Bohol, Leyte, Samar, Panay, Mindanao…..guess what!!!!! That’s where you will have to live or you will have to end the relationship. Hahahaha. Don’t invest to much in Metro Manila….long term condo contracts etc…….
If you survey Makati residents, there are more locals than foreigners. Just coz you don't know any local in Makati does not mean all of Makati is inhabited by foreigners.
Guys just let him give hos opinion amd what he observed. The middle amd low class working class in makati are mostly from other provinces and it’s true that they are renting in a boarding house. How can they rent or buy a condo with their salary. That’s a fact. He’s referring to the majority of workers in the malls, offices, groceries etc. Those Filipino locals also commute in buses, LRT, jeepneys. In general Filipino locals way of life is like that.
@@robocop581 By there is no he meant that most employees in Makati doesn't really live in Makati. Don't take everything literally unless you are a toddler.
It was meant for you. It will be worth it to make it homey. You’ll love staying in too. Good thinking about switching loving room and bedroom. It makes sense. With Christmas coming the lights at night are going to be beautiful you can do a vlog in the dark with just lights showing
I admire he's vlogger and i always watching everyday and i don't skip adds it can help him too,because of him i saw my county in different place 4 yrs i never go home ,watching from hongkong😊
Thanks for sharing sir. We are offering for rent a similar unit in the same building with similar basic furnishing on a lower floor and facing the amenities at 32k per month plus the typical dues for long term. :)
there are about 60+ units listed online. most are offering 35K, a few at 40K, several 30K and a few 27K and 28K. those above 30K will be the ones that will stay vacant for longer and those 40K will probably wait til next year when all units are taken and they are the only option.
I’m liking these daily vlogs 👍🏻 definitely go to ikea for your rug, some pillows and maybe your corner desk. You can also try out the meatballs and salmon in ikea it’s sooo good ❤ I would go back there just for the food!
welcome to bgc Mergim your condo has great amenities unlike mine , the basketball court you have there was awesome and i saw you at true value a few days ago ,Enjoy your stay at Bgc.
Geez Mergim, you're really enticing me to think about an early retirement and get on a jet plane and be on a hunt for a condo in Uptown and have coffee with you every so often. I'm digging, no, actually envious, of you're lifestyle 😎!
Hi Mergim. Love your vlogs. As subscribers, we watch your vlogs every day. As a suggestion, you might want to get a good sofa bed. This would reap benefits.
I am in Avida Twr, 1Bdr. 36 sq meters, unfurnished, I moved in right after the country opened-20K including dues, furniture would bring it up to mid 30’s
Hey mergim its masskara festival in bacolod city.. one of the famous fstval in philpnes the hightlights is on oct 21,22&23 would be great if you can do vlogs during those dates..thnks
I love to watch your channel. I am missing the Philippines since moving here in Chicago as a nurse. Your everyday vlogs are truthfully for someone trying to make a day to day living in the Philippines. Let us help him expand his channel. He is promoting the underrepresented Philippines. All your vlogs are vey informative and truthful. God bless and "Mabuhay".
Hi! A nurse here too, from San Francisco. There’s another vlogger In BGC. They are a brand new, an up-and-coming TH-camr based in BGC. Their channel is called BGC dreams. Let’s support these people who are promoting the country. 🫰
Loving the daily vlog. Comparing your old video's where more quality then now. You tend to talk more then showcasing the area. I hope you do more Christmas vlog since Nelly from making it happen vlog no longer on the scene.
Mergim showing us how to mop the floor is my highlight on todays video. ☺️☺️ I'm not going to comment how good is your vlog because everyone already telling you that, and I share same opinion.
Simplicity is nice..minimalism is trendy so maybe don't add too much so d space would not be compromised..if u wish to add artwork on your wall, I'm willing to send u my acrylic paintings.. I do landscape/ seascape canvasses 😊 if u gonna reply & see my comment..lol
You've mentioned the corporate rentals. You can have more if you searched for real owners who will rent you their unit. You'll will get more for your money like parking included. You should also asked about the rent to own option where you would add a little bit more then you will own the unit eventually.
@@setyourhandle88 They usually have ads in the newspaper(not all newspapers) ask around what is the best newspaper to buy to find rental properties. You could also ask around and talk to people who live in the condos usually they know something. if you try to search you will usually find a lead.
Congratulations Mergin!You got the perfect condo.Very beautiful!Put some plants to make it more beautiful coz Green color represents life.

Hi Mergim. Love your vlogs. As subscribers, we watch your vlogs every day. As a suggestion, you might want to get a good sofa bed. This would reap benefits.
I am in Avida Twr, 1Bdr. 36 sq meters, unfurnished, I moved in right after the country opened-20K including dues, furniture would bring it up to mid 30’s
This literally inspired me to be productive. more of these!
Hey mergim its masskara festival in bacolod city.. one of the famous fstval in philpnes the hightlights is on oct 21,22&23 would be great if you can do vlogs during those dates..thnks
up
good suggestion.. kaso d sya nagbabasa ng comments. ^__^
I love to watch your channel. I am missing the Philippines since moving here in Chicago as a nurse. Your everyday vlogs are truthfully for someone trying to make a day to day living in the Philippines. Let us help him expand his channel. He is promoting the underrepresented Philippines. All your vlogs are vey informative and truthful. God bless and "Mabuhay".
Hi! A nurse here too, from San Francisco. There’s another vlogger In BGC. They are a brand new, an up-and-coming TH-camr based in BGC. Their channel is called BGC dreams. Let’s support these people who are promoting the country. 🫰
I choose philippines over chicago lol

NICE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRICES OF A CONDO IN BGC. NICE VLOG MERGIM.👍👍👍
Second to comment...Yeeha...Congratulations Mergim...
Loving the daily vlog. Comparing your old video's where more quality then now. You tend to talk more then showcasing the area. I hope you do more Christmas vlog since Nelly from making it happen vlog no longer on the scene.
Mergim showing us how to mop the floor is my highlight on todays video. ☺️☺️
I'm not going to comment how good is your vlog because everyone already telling you that, and I share same opinion.
Wow nice condo ,my niece has a Condo in BGC but it cost 70 thousand a month and its in the 34rth floor so the view is really nice
Thank you for this video Merghim…very Informative for people outside of Philippines or for people who plan to stay longer in Manila ✌🏻🇫🇷
Simplicity is nice..minimalism is trendy so maybe don't add too much so d space would not be compromised..if u wish to add artwork on your wall, I'm willing to send u my acrylic paintings.. I do landscape/ seascape canvasses 😊 if u gonna reply & see my comment..lol
visit and chill at either of the Grand Hyatt Lounge, Peak , Cellar or Florentine. It's there in BGC, near your condo.
You've mentioned the corporate rentals. You can have more if you searched for real owners who will rent you their unit. You'll will get more for your money like parking included. You should also asked about the rent to own option where you would add a little bit more then you will own the unit eventually.
In our condo I was able to tap into the secret channel to the CCTV cameras where I can see who;s coming and going from the main entrance.
They did gave you the unit with spectacular view and that's a real treat.
How’d you do that?
@@setyourhandle88 They usually have ads in the newspaper(not all newspapers) ask around what is the best newspaper to buy to find rental properties. You could also ask around and talk to people who live in the condos usually they know something. if you try to search you will usually find a lead.
Be honest and sincere and you will be rewarded. About the rent to own, just talk to an agent they are usually found in the malls
hi mergim I love ur vids keep up the good work 😊
Lovely area ur living 👍😁, no skipping 6 ads
Good choice now ur a happy man living in bgc ! Am sure foreigners. who are watching u may follow soon
A wallpaper will do as well. In market market, there is a store there that sells carpet and good quality wallpaper.
The big lake is called Laguna de Baie or Laguna de Bay. FYI. You get the sunrise and you are facing the Antipolo mountains East.
12:54 Hi mergin, perhaps a night time view from your unit of the city lights/skyline could be part of your next video thanks
Wish i had seen this before I pressed submit for my rental just outside of BGC next week
Fabulous! Congrats on your new "home-sweet-home"
I thought he bought the place. Is he renting?
