the Phillipines are awesome. The food, the people and the culture of the country. This particular building seemed to have issues. Take solace that I am currently in Cebu right in the middle of what nobody would consider tourist central and my place is awesome!. And no ROACHES OR RATS!😀
For Makati that’s good. We could easily drop $2500 or more, which is why we no longer stay there, but it’s the only decent place to stay in Manila for sure.
Oh no doubt, I didn't find our monthly cost to be bad all things considered. Could have dealt without the rats and roaches in the garbage room, but I guess that is the price you pay for saving a few dollars
Salcedo Village and Legazpi Village have much better accommodations, but they're probably a lot more expensive than Spaz. Spaz is cheaper because it's not in Makati CBD, it's on the outskirts
That's fair. They probably were a lot more expensive. It really wouldn't have been a big deal had there not been signs posted everywhere about the fines. In a building that the vast majority of residents I saw were Filipino. They have literally locked them into a corner about the garbage rooms. A company of this size and magnitude that manages a complex of this size should be held accountable for just filthy conditions. Once again, the staff, security, airbnb host were all great. The garbage situation in a place like this is beyond disgusting
You guys should go to Pampanga...the culinary capital of the Philippines and make a research.....this are the filipino dishes you should try bicol Express, chicken curry, beef caldereta, bulalo, bistro, laing, chopsuey
@@PureDetour cool, if you make it to Cebu or Leyte we would be happy to buy you lunch or dinner.. or just have a talk if you're not hungry 😋 We're in Palompon, Leyte now.
@@PureDetour what i am trying to say is that, dont expect a pest free environment of you are paying a cheaper price. While trying to tell those experiences, better focus more on how your channel grow while vlogging in philippines and donate to charity.. Im not excellent in your language.😁
@@leiraoleus9932, That is 100% fair and I get that. My issue here is that this is a high rise condo building that has multiple properties across Manila and in this particular building the vast majority of people I saw were Filipino that live there. The "fines" honestly were never going to impact me, but I do think it's bullshit that the residents of the building have to put up with this at no fault of their own. The FILIPINOS are the ones going to be subjected to these fines by a major developer, not me. All they had to say is we are having a sanitation issue at the moment and are looking to correct it as soon as possible. Not leave billboards all over the building threatening the residents with fines As to my channel growth, that is out of my hands. I have as much control over it as you do. Doesn't mean I have to sit back and not call out corporate greed when I see it. i wouldn't do it in my home country that I left 25 years ago and I won't do it anywhere else in the world. If that offends someone, so be it
@@leiraoleus9932There's nothing wrong on what he said about the building. It is not his job to sugarcoat everything about his experience, he's just being honest with it. You can't just focus on the positive side when you're clearly experiencing negative things.
@@leiraoleus9932 who are you to tell him what to do and what not to do? Hindi ka nga makapag English ng maayos 😂. Pre school hanggang college tinuturo ang English pero hindi ka natuto??? Hahahhahahaah.
Love the quick and straightforward format as always. no BS and informative.
Thank you so much, Rafael. LOVE the support that you are showing this channel
Good job very informative. Hopefully will get to be there someday. Nice to dream about.
You should! It's a great country
Still trying to work out if the Philippines is for me but loving your videos ❤

AGAIN another straightforward vlog… keep the vlogs coming!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks
Martine, I love you and Kevin to death, but you really need not do this on every video.I am so grateful to the both of you. Thank you so much
You’re not my real Dad 🤣 you can’t tell me what to do 🤣
😂😂😂If I could love this comment a million times I would😂😂😂 CLASSIC response and one that I would absolutely make. Thank you so much, Martine

When I lived there it cost me just short of $3k pm.
BGC has taken over from Makati as the prime area to live these days.

@@PureDetour I hope you find a better place!
Thank you, It is no big deal at this point as I have moved on to Cebu
You guys should go to Pampanga...the culinary capital of the Philippines and make a research.....this are the filipino dishes you should try bicol Express, chicken curry, beef caldereta, bulalo, bistro, laing, chopsuey
Do you live in Pampanga?
Jazz
I could have made that a little more difficult I guess lol
Hey 😊 are you still in the Philippines? We're here too
@Flaventuretoo, I (Geoff) am still in the Philippines. Just arrived in Bacolod last night
@@PureDetour cool, if you make it to Cebu or Leyte we would be happy to buy you lunch or dinner.. or just have a talk if you're not hungry 😋
We're in Palompon, Leyte now.
@@PureDetour just to thank you for introducing us to Fatima 😊
@Flaventuretoo, I just left Cebu yesterday. hahaha. I am going to be here in Bacolod for a few weeks, so if you make it this way, let me know.
@@PureDetour many great food choices in bacolod... Hope you guys enjoy...
If u live there is there alot of bugs in homes
I don't live in Manila full time. I stayed at this particular building for a month and you will definitely find roaches in the unit
Could i live off 1200 hundred a month there im 62 reitired
Yes, you could if you can live a simple lifestyle
Look for Aling Sosing's Carinderia. :) It's not fine dining but damnnnn!
It was one thing I wanted to film in Manila that I didn;t make it to.
SMDC Jazz?
You said it, not me😂
bro...better u have more good experience and more help on your channel, rather than telling those stories..in your country no like that.
I realize English may not be your first language, but I honestly have no clue WTF you are trying to say.
