In one of our recent episodes, we took you on a full tour of a 167,000,000 PHP high-rise condo that’s being built in BGC, Metro Manila. Needless to say, a $3M equivalent is more than a little bit outside of our current budget, so today we’re meeting back up with Tim to see how much farther our money can go if we venture a bit outside of BGC. Will the savings be enough to pull us out of the bubble? Let’s find out.

Welcome to Pasig, we also live in one of the condos here in Pasig. It's accessible to everything you need, just bear with the traffic. Plus our Mayor here is exemplary. 😊
Awesome 🤩. We’ve heard people saying the traffic is bad but we like finding places we can walk everywhere.
Beautiful Condos! Love Erin's VICTOR poses! Love how every member in the family get's to be apart of the amazing videos you guys create! Philippines is truly a Paradise! The people are AMAZING!
Thank you so much! 🤗🤗
Great realty vlog today. Yeah, the prices are much better than BGC, which seems overrated. For some reason, I still think PH prices (for the quality and design) are way over the top compared with similar properties in Hong Kong, Taipei, KL, etc. Sam is a nice guy, but seeing him in the background in almost every scene seems a bit creepy. Hahaha! Bravo to the Lockwood for a great vlog today. Keep 'em comin'!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Ya, I was still surprised that the price is as high as it is but people are still buying them up.
Thank you for the Tour. I am from Pasig and haven't seen The Victor yet cause we are in Texas atm. Thank you for this. Glad your family loves The Philippines 🇵🇭
The Victor is really cool!
Excellent presentation!!! Quite enjoyed the tour. ❤❤Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
Nice to see you all again!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Great to see you on here too 🤗🤗
For a moment.I.
Thought you were the realtor. You did a good job in presenting the different bedroom unit options.
Glad seeing you travelling around. Have safe always.
Thanks, you too! 😊
What a great vlog. I work in Pasig so this feels like I am welcoming you to Pasig.
Ahh thanks! 😊
So nice that you are staying long and exploring different places in metro manila. God bless your family
🤗🤗🤗
Miss u so much my motherland ❤
We too have checked out a place in Pasig called "Portico" not a bad place to be in my opinion and not too far from BGC or Makati. Thanks for showcasing this place, my husband is looking into it as well. Aloha
Oh great! I hope you reach out to Tim. He’s so nice! Tell him we say hi 👋
Thanks for showing us! More powers! ❤️
You got it 👍🏻 our pleasure! 🤗
That area is former the Provincial Capitol of Province of Rizal. The Area is near lots of First Class Mall, the likes of Shangrilan, SM, Robinson's Place, Ortigas Center & many more. Although, not that high end place it's peaceful also.
that’s a different area. you are probably referring to capital commons. this area they viewed is called bridgetowne.
Exactly 😊 this was Bridgetowne. Even more new.
Right.. This one is south of Eastwood City and east of Ortigas, between Marikina River and the Mangahan Floodway.
Nice residences.. What would be interesting to me, if they also extend the ferries to up there..
Because ferries are an lesser known shortcut to some locations that normally would take forever because of traffic jams.. My favorite way to get to Binondo and Intramuros, even with no traffic jams, its more calm..
The City should really build upon that - its a gift to have two big rivers running trough Metro Manila! And way cheaper and easier to realize than to build a new rail-bound transport.
As always, great content! You are slowly but surely get THE premier ressource for realty in Metro Manila! :)
HELLO MUCH BETTER YOU TAKE ONE CONDO THERE BECAUSE THIS IS THE NEXT BGC AND MORE DEVELOPMENT
And great to get in when it’s really early.
BEAUTIFUL condos 💙🏆🔥
Wow. I used to work at Bridgetown Robinsons Tera Tower but we've been working from home for 4yrs now. Nice development!
We look forward to seeing its completion 😊
Try checking out Uptown BGC condos too ❤
We love uptown and want to look there too.
Oh, that's why you sounded so professional when you described the other condo last time, because you have worked as a realtor. I really like the way you explained things. And now even the kids know how to do it. It's so cool. It's actually soothing listening to all of you haha enjoy the Philippines
Thanks! 😊 I have always had a fascination with real estate. I love looking at homes and understanding the market everywhere we go.
The city with the best local governance so far!
Good to know 👍🏻
Oh so nice ❤❤❤ Great keep it up family Lockwood to endure the other condos unit , in the area of Pasig city .😊😊 Go,go go.
Thanks for the encouragement! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤗
Park central towers in Makati has still available units. They have units up to 1,600 sqm. Massive units with pools
Awesome. Thanks 👍🏻
your kids are ADORABLE!😍❤🙏
Keep looking. Always can make them an offer.
Very true. The timing doesn’t work for us here. We will keep looking 😊
Wow that looks so awesome 😎 have a good day guys
Thanks! You too! 🤗
@@livethephilippines yw, ty
New subscriber and watching from Dubai
I heard there was a big snowstorm in Denver CO recently. You were there not too long ago. Glad you're already in the Philippines when the snow storm happened.
Us too! We’d rather avoid the cold 🥶
Thanks for sharing. Its a good potential investment.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi to a very special Family, I so love this its food for thought, I am so looking forward to returning to Manila ,in hence saying this I am mother of all girls love them to bits ,but I think your son is adorable so much personality bless him ,all children are a blessing well time for a cup of tea and make late dinner till next time Hugs to All from little me in Melbourne Evie xoxo
Hugs to and your girls! 🤗🤗🤗
You can check alabang township area also
We have heard it’s nice there.
Definitely love the HARAYA! will visit soon. Love you Lockwood's fam! See you in UAE!🥰
Yay 😀 we are in UAE now 🤗
Hope you dropby in Dubai🤩
Bridgestowne is very nice!! But its difficult getting in and out of that area due to traffic. Try Portico by Ayala or Estancia by Ortigas. More your style and nearer to BGC.
We keep hearing about the bad traffic. We must have been lucky because our drive there and back didn’t experience any. Must not have been rush hour 😊
Welcome to Pasig ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks 😊
This is so fun. do more behind the scenes. it's so funny
😂🤣😅 glad you like that side of us.
Are you only interested in checking condos and apartments? I hope you can collaborate with Presello (they have a YT channel) when you finally do house tours.
I think the presello homes are not designed for most families. They are ridiculously large for many Filipinos, especially those from abroad who cannot really afford php30m homes that would cost a fortune to centralize aircon as well. My older relatives, empty nesters and many like them from abroad, find them too big and too steep for them to climb up and down from. They end up having their own bungalow types. Condos are being snatched up because they are more secure and yes, better suited for older people. The Philippines should really build homes that are medium in size, reasonably priced, built friendly for older people like they do in Japan.
@@denniszenanywhere I understand your point. I mean, aside from being vocal about their family loving to stay in BGC, they also mentioned that they love checking out real estate. I just suggested Presello so that they can do more tours even without the intention of buying a house. 😊
We actually reached out to her on Instagram but haven’t been able to get a hold of her.
Yaan mo na sila. Huwag pakialamera
Beautiful condos! The payment schedule on the condo is a little misleading, while it shows 30,276.80 a month for the next 70 months. It also shows a big final payment of 16,955,088 (approx $314k USD) and then approx 19k USD balance to move in as what she said.
The 314k big payment is just a tad too much 😅 Of course that’s when bank financing comes in too
A "little" is quite the understatement 🤣 BUYER BEWARE
I think you’re right that I missed something and I had the wrong number for the payout. We will have to go look at the sheet and fix that in the description.
Wow amazing and I love watched you videos
Thanks! 😊🤗🤗🤗
@livethephilippines my Pleasure
Hope we have time to collaboration soon:)
That's the C5 corridor one of the 16 business districts in M.Manila. Another big development is in Alabang it is also bigger than BGC.
We hear it’s nice there 😊
That’s a nice tight shirt you have 😎 your family are wonderful. Thanks for sharing the tour. I win the lotto, I definitely will rent a place down there!😎😉🥰
Welcome to pasig beautiful city in the pilippines💗💗💗
One of the areas I like outside of BGC is EASTWOOD, they call it the San Francisco of the Phillipines.
Oh cool. 😎
I like the loja ( screened balcony).
Really nice area 😊
Try to check in Mandaluyong condos too,it's more accessible to all the cities in Manila easy to access EDSA MRT❤but this condo is beautiful 😍 too love it
Thanks! 😊
Try Ortigas area … the Capitol commons which is adjacent to Uptown BGC .. Capitol commons is a charming community smaller compared to BGC.. however everything’s there restos supermarket mall .
beautiful
It was fun to walk through 😊
We’re getting our 3 bedroom at Sail Residences next year and plan on renting it on Airbnb. We’re planning on having a dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer so international travelers feel at home. It seems that IKEA is the only place that I’ve found that sells dishwashers there.
Sounds like a good plan! 👍🏻🤗
it would also nice to go look at villiges. :)
Agreed! We are wanting to experience everything.
Check out the ArcoVia in pasig overlooking BGC and Makati. Good for the budget.
Oh great. Thanks 👍🏻
Try also around Pasay.. closer to the airport.
👍🏻 we like the idea of being close to the airport.
Could be a good investment. Love the apartments with so many windows so you probably can see fireworks for the new year eve and imagine the view at night as well when the city is well lit. I’d be interested 🙂
Yes. I bet the fireworks views would be 💯
I always wonder how the fire department will cope with emergencies with these skyscrapers. I'm guessing the buildings have self contained emergency systems and procedures.
They do but a fire in any condo building would be disastrous. Hope it never happens.
It's a really good investment.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
wow that condo is so beautiful ☺️
💯 🤗
Pasig city is one of the nicest city in metro manila because they have commercial center which the other city don't have, they have arena, subdivision, hospitals and so on, the SM mega mall and ShangriLa are there on the boundary between Mandaluyong city and Pasig city and they're sorounded by high rise building and condos.
And the city was right across the bridge from the building site. Everything at your fingertips
Hahaha I always enjoy the deleted scenes! Amazing video as always ❤
Thank you!! 😁 😂🤣
I wonder what is the thought process of pretty much of all these developers in regards with the closet/wardrobe doors. Why on earth are all these multi-tens-of-millions PHP new condos equipped still with old-school opening doors on the closets? Wouldn't they consider the space saving provided by sliding doors to be a good idea? They also come with a variety of finishing options i.e full door size mirrors giving more sense of space in these otherwise relatively size constrained bedrooms, foyers etc.
As a lover of amazing closets and super organized clothes, I agree 💯
❤️Pasig it’s a great place to live👌🏽
Metro Manila has numerous cities. Condos and other commodities are not assigned in one place. . You can select better price offer from other cities like Pasig and Quezon city.
So many options here!
Your family accidentally became property reviewers 😄 This one nice also to your vlog. Watching from Malaysia - OFW
We love looking at properties 😊
@@livethephilippines yes more please ☺️
They are building 3 island in the manila bay now!! They will make it as modern business and leisure districts!! They are pre selling condo units now!! If you go to the manila bay you'll see the reclamation is ongoing!!
Oh so cool!
wow❤
The traffic is horrible in that area north of Mandaluoyng. Since you not are in a hurry, just explore the areas.. that and amenities of the buildings around it are the import stuff.. all new condos units are looking all the same as you can see...
They are building small communities more close to BGC that's more near to coming MRT and also almost walking distance to BGC like Capitol Commons. Maybe not really walking...
Places in Makati like Rockwell is also amazing..
I never been up to Bridgetown actually..Maybe next time.. And just think of that Markina and pasig river overflowed(??) 8 meters last year.
We are going to explore as much as possible. Definitely not going to rush into anything.
Thats great and a good help for us aswell before we move there..
Try to check condos in Alabang, Muntinlupa few kms outside BGC, also in Cubao, Quezon city, also in Paranaque - few kms from BGC
We hear it’s really nice there 😊
U should check out condos in Rockwell.
We hear that’s a really nice area!
I love watching your condo / home hunting journey.
If I may suggest, you may want to try ACACIA ESTATES, Taguig City, just a drive away from BGC :) Acacia Estates is a township project of DMCI with several condo communities 😊
Sharing with you our property consultant’s video community tour. It’s mostly in Tagalog/Filipino, but you’d probably have an idea on how the township looks like in this video. His contact details are also posted so you may contact him if you’re interested with any DMCI Projects 😊

What are the monthly dues? All the special attractions that look so wonderful must be maintained and once the unit is sold and turned over to your HOA,
enough needs to be paid and held for upkeep. With so many units, the cost might now be too high but surely enough for such a fancy place.
That is a great question and it’s some thing we should have, but did not cover.
I hope you guys are getting a referral commission! I'm actually considering this place now. Thanks for the tour.
Really. That’s fantastic. Did you reach out to Tim? If so, we very well might 🤗
contis here in ph is the most expensive branded cakes baked goods i think.!!
It's beautiful. But i do wish that builders would also keep regular people in mind. It's slightly worrisome that they are building mostly for elites only with sky high prices
It is crazy how the market seems to keep going up and up.
RLC is relatively better than the other local developers when it comes to unit size and pricing. However, be aware of the traffic situation in that area is quite a bummer. It is brutal to say the least. Furthermore, it is relatively far from the Ortigas CBD. You might want to check out the Capitol Commons, Estancia Mall area. It is more adjacent to the Ortigas CBD. Ortigas is the Central Business District of Pasig, surrounded by malls like Megamall, Shangri-la, Podium, Ayala's The 30th, Robinson's Galleria, Starmall and EDSA Central.
We passed Capitol Commons on our way. It looks nice 🤗
@@livethephilippines It is a small enclave, but within walking distance to the seven (7) malls within the Ortigas CBD and a five minute ride to Robinson's Galleria. Furthermore, it is close to ADB where a lot of foreign expats work.
HARAYA is the old tagalog word for IMAGINATION. (:
Oh I like that 😊
If you’ve already been noticing, bath tubs and dishwashers are not the standards for most of the apartments and condo units in the Philippines, unlike that of in the US and even in Japan. So that realtor saying, dishwasher wasn’t installed because of limited space, that wasn’t totally true. You can find installed dishwashers and even small tubs in standard houses or apartments being sold in Japan. It’s not just a common feature in the Philippines, though, you can install it if you already have your own unit. 😊
Thanks for the more detailed info 👍🏻👍🏻🤗
@@livethephilippines Wow. You’re welcome, and thanks for the reply. One more thing, Bridgetown, where you were at, is just one of the big ongoing developments along C5, the C5 Corridor, as they say. Some of these adjacent developments are the Parklinks, Ortigas East, Arcovía City, Círculo Verde, and Eastwood City. You may do some research on what they offer, so can also have more options.
You can also explore Ortigas Center (2nd to Ayala Center as the most important business district in Metro Manila). Yeah, BGC is just like 3rd. And, the Greenfield District.
Try the libis area for condo’s between going to BGC, pasig, marikina but in the area of Quezon city
Ok. Thanks 😊
Wow still expensive! It’s easy to sell your property in 🇺🇸. Try selling that when you decide to move back. I know Juicy vlog (British couple) has been having a hard time selling their condo.
You’re right. Something to consider is how easy it would be to sell it if you ever needed to.
How much it coast for 1 bedroom
Nice family
Thank you 😊
Davao is also a very safe city. A lot of retired Americans are moving there
We hope to visit there soon!
until when u resell there are no takers for the inflated prices and it will be flanked by newer condos
Pasig is a nice place❤
💯 yes 😊
The payment scheme does not add up ... 2.7 k + 36k + $515 per month for 6 years + 19 K final payment ... what about the difference between 400k and what was paid described earlier
nice❤
Thanks ✌
Try Rockwell!
We’ve heard it’s nice there 👍🏻
Manifest it Brooklyn, that's just 6 years away 😊
Can you introduce on youtube the condo that is on the Mitsukoshi BGC ?
We are planning to vlog that one too! We are so curious about it 👍🏻
If you plan to stay outside BGC, I'd rather choose Ortigas Center where everything is just walking distance. Check out The Imperium at Capitol Commons in Ortigas. A premium property and the area is already well-developed. One of the future subway stations is also being built there.
Great. Thanks! 👍🏻
Does condo when you buy becomes your property for a lifetime or for time span only , cos if its like that choose cheaper thats a practical decision
As far as we understand it’s for life. Filipinos can own property, condo or land. And foreigners can only lease land for long terms. They can own condos but only if at least 60% of the building units are owned by Filipinos
The question is the kids school in bgc? I been to that area for football training for my son from
Bgc on regular days nightmare. If weekend only sunday is the traffic is quite.
Right now they are both in online school. But Brooklyn is interested in in-person school. We’re looking into it.
Nice....im 2nd
Nice!! 👍🏻🤗🤗
luxurious condo
They are nice!
Tip, Think of the Subway they're going to be finished 2029 . The closer to the station will be the best investment ....BGC Landers area is the best and easiest to sell in the future .
Tip, Filipinos love to talk about things that will happen in the future when you're buying real estate. A road that isn't completed yet. Public transportation that is being built. Development of the area... Always be cautious of this. Things often do not go as planned. They have been calling other areas like Clark the "next BGC" for years now. Things develop at a snails pace but they'll charge you as if everything is opening that year. One of the reasons real estate in the Philippines is so high compared to salaries here and compared to other countries like Thailand or Malaysia.
@stevem437 I respect your opinion, but it is hard to beat BGC, especially Bell and Whistle it is already built, plus Subway will be bonus . I got property in BGC.I am fully satisfied with my BIG APPLE area,I can go with high-end restaurants and Comembo beside 7 and 11 stores to street food plus bonus.I feel safe 😀 Hard to beat BGC.
@@angelocalima6338 I live in BGC and have pre-purchased a condo at Mandani Bay in Cebu. It’s not really an opinion… People trying to sell land or property constantly talk about plans for paved roads, coming public transportation, additional planned developments in the area… But you need to be careful because these can take a decade or more to come about. They’ll price the land/property as if the construction is right around the corner.
Ah good advice 😊
Check out Arca South
👍🏻👍🏻
Do they have a park or a walking trails?.
The entire mezzanine connecting to buildings is a giant park that does have trails as well. And it is right across the bridge from the city.
❤️❤️❤️
🤗🤗🤗
Your quoted balance of $19000 USD is not correct. That condo is not less than $100k USD. It is likely over $400k USD
Wow
🤩🤩🤩
Guys if the condo is not yet built better not to avail not to buy because the process is so long and sometimes scam property.If the unit or room is ready to live. that’s the best one
of course its cheaper bcoz. you're out from the box of BGc, the thing called hype dictates the price, but you can make it more cheaper if you stayed in apartment. that depends on your lifestyle..
😊😊😊
Good condos before was around 3-5MILLION PESOS the increase in prices in condos in the Philippines is absurd.
It seems kinda crazy.
Passing through those ghetto seems to be a big down to an expensive place. No matter how nice that building is if you cross a ghetto going to your place those are not acceptable. Those developers needs to do something about it.
