You are all so amazing for taking out time to watch my videos! Please subscribe even if TH-cam seems to show you my videos, it won't last if you don't subscribe sadly.
I got a furnished one bedroom place right in town for 17k why pay that much for outside of town? Too expensive for a condo to me. Always look where you WANT to live and just make phone calls. You'll find something better.
Thank you so much for making the content you do! You enable other others to make their dreams come, true! This surely gains you a lot of luck in life! May God bless you!
Great video! I truly appreciate your exploration of the captivating destinations in the Philippines. It's both educational and inspiring, and I'm hopeful that I can visit, if not retire there someday.
Good video Michael. The apartments there were very nice. Next time try Kayong Inn. It is a short walk to downtown and the boulevard. I had no issues with the internet there and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I have been here a year and been in Robinson Mall a lot but didn't have girls chasing me down so don't believe everything you hear LOL.
Hi Michael.. it’s funny that my husband and I are the next tenant of that bungalow in Adona Residence.. We are also from Canada we did an early retirement. Our possession date is in March.. My husband and I will be traveling to Vietnam for a month prior to moving to that rental..
You’ve been in SE Asia long enough to know the answer is always “yes” to everything. Thanks for showing us the Adona residences I actually checked the Google maps satellite image when you bumped into the staff at that restaurant in your other video. Nice place.
Ive been watching alot of your videos these past months. Wishing you lots of luck. You have a cool vibe and your always positive . Im sure this channel will do well . Just be yourself.
Lets go Mike! I've been here in Duma/Valencia for almost a year... youtube channel in the works. Loving every minute of it! Keep the content coming. Where are these apartments? Bacong? Dauin? I may have missed the part where you said in the video...
you can always ask for extra keys for the door electricity. or leave the keys and just ask them to open door once you arrive but i know that would be hassle...
Maybe going forward u might have to insist on testing the internet speed first just so u dont get messed up. Also thanks for showing those apartments, they were pretty decent for the price and for the Philippines. Your new channel is going fast, great work!
Your wrong. They work with a very strong neodymium mag and there are different shapes . I have 3 different cards from previous hotels and each is different.
Cool Video, being from Florida I don't want to live on the beach, although living a few blocks behind Nevas Pizza, I was 2 blocks from the beach. Missing Dumaguete...Nice place that fella has.
Regarding the electric in your room is all you have to do when you take out the hotel key put in a Paper card Old plastic card, anything and your power will stay on
Sorry to hear about you and Bianca but I know you'll find many new girlfriends there in the land of babes. Hang in there and good luck on your new channel.
Diagnostics are great in Dumaguete, but I wouldn't want surgery there. My wife works at a huge hospital in the USA and the Cath Lab surgeons do operation after operation all day like a factory. In Dumaguete (If they added the cath lab they were supposed to at Silliman) Only a few people can afford operations, so the surgeons have less experience.
We have a 1k sq. meter lot fully fenced and gated with 2 -3 bedroom houses on it. We are 800 meters to the beach on the Gulf of Leyte. The old Marcos beach compound in Olot, Tolosa, Leyte. Can you call that beach property?
That house was a wreck. I don't say this to be sound pretentious, but seriously... It isn't hard to keep you house somewhat clean. I would bave been obsolutely embarrased to have someone come into my house looking like that. Even when I was young and single, I kept my place in decent or clean condition if I had company over or if I brought a lady home from the club/bar. If I don't own the place, like that guy, I feel I need to keep it somewhat clean so the owners know I am taking care of their property, just because it shows respect and appreciation for their kindness to rent their house to me. The first guy's place was a wreck. The second guy's place in good shape and presentable.
Remember to eat, sleep and drink, Mike. ;-) And your latest videos have made me re-think retiring in Iloilo, which isn't great. You're messing my plans up! :p
I always thought the province was cheap but am I the only one that thinks these are expensive and small? (not just these but the ones in Iloilo as well). I feel like my condo in Manila is small. I think it's like 80+ sq meter
Manila has lots of options so I'm guessing competition caused builders to make nicer places to compete? I have seen condos in Manila really small too though. Reminds me of Toronto where a tiny condo was a fortune, I leased a studio condo for $2500 a month pre pandemic and the same condo is now $4000 a month!
Pro Travel Tip... I have 3 different styles of the MAG. Room cards. I carry with me in my wallet so when i get a room with electric shut off i can keep my AC rocking and my downloads bopping 🎉😮😊
@ThatPhilippinesLife lose your room key and when you find a clerk that will let you off with little to no reimbursement, Valah!! You got one! Remember it won't work every single place with it but most. Also you will eventually learn the different types. There is a very strong flat magnet embedded that are different shapes and polar directions.
Eh... Just go to pattaya, Thailand.... $300 gets you 1 bedroom, AC, easy access to lots of stuff..good internet and cell networks in thailand.. I Love PH and married a filipina but Thailand has way better prices if you just want a nice cheap place to live, PH has the islands and places to travel around too.... so its cheap, beachlife VS more expensive travel life...
Please for the love of God, use currency that your audience is used to! How hard is it to put it up in the corner? Nobody wants to Google in the middle of the video to convert. Maybe I'm wrong? Are you posting this for foreigners that are thinking about relocation? Then why not post relatable money? Just saying
Some people see value in living by the beach out of a city and other see value of living in a city. I guess it depends what type of place you want to live in
It seems that most (not all) white dudes who move there and live there are short or average height. I guess being short in the USA makes you taller in the Philippines and has its own attractions for them.
It's true in asian men and woman are typically shorter but western women often only want men 6' or more which is only 14.5 percent of all men in America for example. So 85% of men are under 6'
@ilippinesLife therefore, the sorter white men move to places like the Philippines and make up the majority of the white population there. It seems that in Thailand, white men there are the taller variety. Philippines has an extra attraction for shorter white men there, since the girls are also shorter there. Why not take the boat where are more fish and easier to catch.
Mike, thx for responding All due respect to the hardest working vlogger, YOU. I don’t think most people realize how much work is behind your channel. If possible, send the link to video for the beach immediately adjacent to the Adore Residence? I’ve seen the others, Dumaguette and Dauin. Maybe I’m missing it? You took the walk, steps from Adore? Love to see it.
We were just there for the month of October. 5-6 islands. Missed Dumaguette. Could not fit it in. My family follows you. Definitely next time. Considering 3 month runs when retired. Link to Adore Residence beach shot? Thx
This location is about 8km away from multiple private hospitals, one of the residents talk about this in the video and his experiences at the hospitals
@@ThatPhilippinesLife If you meet someone at the mall that works there then at least they are more likely willing to work to support themselves and not mooch off of someone else.

You should get a paypal or something, I just tried to send you a $20 super thanks but google asked me for copies of my Id and mail in order to verify me, that is a no go. I already hesitated to pay the 30% they want to take off the top but was going to do it anyway.

Great Video Mike and you did well finding these house's right next to the beach at such a good rental price...looking 4ward to part 2
Wow, that's an affordable housing option that looks good.
Thanks for sharing❤
Pretty expensive actually, considering it’s the Philippines. Don’t forget the average pay there is approx $5,000/year

At it again. Mike working hard 💪
My Wisconsin property taxes are higher than that house rent.
Thanks to the fellows who let you in!
watch "filipino joe", he's renting his place for $70 only ......
The rent is pretty high for there
Thanks Michael for this information on renting situations here outside of Duma and yet closer to the beach.
I'm glad you went to this place. It sounded interesting when you ran into them at the restaurant that day.
