Thanks for your great comment, you have a fantastic country here and your people are great, and always make me feel welcome. Happy Christmas and all the best for the new year, and good luck with your singing too, it coming along really well...
Dear Carl thanks for the very nice and interesting video my friend ******** I wish you and your family peaceful and harmonious Christmas and a healthy New Year, many greetings Jutta
Hi Malou, i like making market videos, it's much better than just sitting in front of a screen doing Vlogs, they really are lazy videos.. Yeah lots of fresh food in this market, and one could spend many hours in this market, and they also have a place here where you can sit down and eat.. Before i came to the Philippines i always watched videos of life on the streets here and every day living type of videos, i personally found them much more interesting than Vlogs.. Many thanks for watching, and while i have you here, Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year...
Hello Carl It has been, a pleasure to watch your videos, all year...You have shown us all, so much of the Philippines, it really is a lovely place with, friendly people.. I hope you have a great Holidays Season.. Merry Christmas and Happy New year..take care, my friend..
Thanks so much Nancy for all the support you have shown for my videos on all my channels, i so appreciate it.. Glad you have enjoyed watching them as i have enjoyed making them.. Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year, take care my friend and have a good one...
Thanks for your lovely comment Eden, and if i could give you two thumbs up for it then i would.. Yeah i can honestly say we are always made to feel welcome when we go anywhere, and i always try and treat everyone we meet as an equal, and i always show them respect and i seem to get the same back.. I make a good friend, but i make quite a bad enemy too (smile) Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year Eden, take care there..
I've have been here four years now Amay and there is still many places around the city i have not been yet, but we have started to use this market more often as most of it is indoors, so you don't have to worry about getting burnt in the sun, or having to get there early of late to avoid the sun, you just go there when you want.. It's a great market, and it's the best one i have visited since i have been in the Philippines and i have been to quite a few.. Hey Happy Christmas to you too, and all the best to you and your family for the coming new year, thanks...
AHHhhh, the big open air market ! That all looked so wonderful..Thankyou for sharing your shopping journey, and a big, Merry Christmas and happy new year to you, Yvonne & little Tilly from here in Red Dirt Oklahoma !
Hello Rich, i really like walking around these type of markets, but i just hate supermarkets lol, and i have not long got back from one and i feel like i have aged ten years (Sad) it was that bad mate.. I did not know you lived in Oklahoma, i got another very good friend that's from there too.. Happy Christmas mate and all the best for the coming new year...
It’s amazing to see that no matter where you go, people’s cultural backgrounds are always identified though their food choices. People in Iligan for example, being regionalistic in their food patterns based in its geographical location, are somewhat dependent on the availability of seafoods resources relative to the production and consumption of food products. Personally in this case, I’m a firm believer that seafoods truly is king of the table. I can absolutely live with it all my life. Thanks for the seafoods market tour Carl. Great work! 👍👍
Yeah i would agree with you on what you are saying here, Iligan city is a fishing area, and the markets are full with various fish, and with many different people selling them too, and the competition helps keep the prices competitive, which is a good thing for us buyers.. I like eating fish too, but i probably don't eat as much as i should really... Thanks for watching my friend, enjoy the rest of the weekend there...
You brought good memories of the city where I lived for 11 years. I miss it very much. I used to jog from Tibanga and turn around at this Palao Market where I buy fresh fruits and jog back home. It used to be less crowded compared to the old market by the pier. Yeah, Muslims there are very friendly but the women are quite stand offish to Christian men and I respect that, it's part of their religion and culture. You can not ignore it though- many of them are good looking. I hope Iligan City in general is safe for you and your family. HAPPY HOLIDAYS and LOTS OF GOOD CHEER.
Hello Willie, i go to Tibanga quite often, i visit the Jollibee there as it's the only one with a play area upstairs, and where my daughter gets a chance to play with other kids, she loves going there.. Hey i find the Muslim ladies to be very friendly, and they quite often come up to me and start to talk, and they always make a fuss of my daughter too, but then i have found most of the Muslim community to be very welcoming and friendly to me.. Yeah i think Iligan City is as safe as anywhere can be these days, all of Mindanao gets bad press coverage, but it's a great place to live, and it's a city that's on the up with many big business coming into the area, including a very large Robinson Mall that should be open i hear by May 2017.. So pleased my video has brought back some good memories for you.. Happy Christmas...
Ha ha, i'm a Tesco Man Derek, i don't like Asda, it's not English enough, and i am so patriotic (smile) Happy Christmas my friend and all the best for the coming new year, have a good one...
Hmm the new David Attenborough? i was thinking more along the lines of "Karl Pilkington" you know "An Idiot Abroad" lol, i just love that guy and the show, and i would love his job, and if you have never watched his show here is a link th-cam.com/video/A88iBhBmCt4/w-d-xo.html The man is a legend.. Happy Christmas my friend and all the best for the coming new year...
Hi Carl , I have seen that show with Karl Pilkington , just one of the best shows in years , the man is just a genius and so funny lol , hope you had a great xmas with your family , we have fog here , haven't had it for decades Enjoy a Wonderful New Years Eve and Have a Happy 2017 :))ms
Oh it's a great market this one Vic, with most of it indoors so one don't have to worry about the strong sun outside.. Yeah the fish did taste so nice, cheers mate, Happy New Year...
I hear lots of people from Thailand and the Philippines miss home when they go to live abroad, i miss England a lot, but i will be going back there in February for a little while, but when i am there i will be missing the Philippines lol, what a crazy life i have got (smile) thanks for watching.. Happy New Year...
Not as crowded Greg as the supermarket i was in a few hours ago, it was like an ant colony, you just could not move, 1.5 hours to get to the cashier, and all because Yvonne wanted some pineapple juice for cooking tomorrow (smile) you couldn't make it up mate lol.. Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year...
maajong Udto ninyo diha :) i love watching this kind of video, miss the market sorroundings....Your little Tilly is difinitely a star there, all those fish vendors adores her, And Only white tall Man walking around the market, u must have felt a celebrity there Carl hehe everyone looking at u hehe Also I enjoyed listening to Yvonne keep saying...Ha .... Ha... :D it just reminded me thats how I am with Kevan too if i cant understand or didnt heared what he was saying hehe Have a Merry Christmas to u and Yvonne and Tilly and everyone :)
Hi Gloria, yeah we do get a lot of attention when we go out, most of the time i don't mind but sometimes it can get a bit irritating.. Hey we just got back from the mall as Yvonne forgot to get some pineapple juice, as she is planning to make some pork hamonado tomorrow, and the supermarket was like an ant colony lol, it took us 1.5 hours waiting to get to the cashier, and i thought of you working in Tesco back there, and how quick the girls on the till are taught to work fast with a smile.. I kept the long queue entertained though with a few sarcastic remarks, like "We will all be senior citizens by the time we get seen, and that includes my daughter' and "I would have grown a beard by the time i get seen" lol, i could go on with my sarcasm but i would be here all day (smile) but i hate standing in a queue.. Oh yeah Yvonne kept saying Ha... Ha... Well we spend most of our time grunting and groaning at each other as neither of us fully understands what the other is saying, and sometimes it can be really funny, but we get by just about lol, oops this is a long reply, got aching fingers now, Happy Christmas my friends, hope you all have a fun day tomorrow...
+Carl The Brit in The Philippines haha well im not working today and yes always a long queue this time of year, we put more checkouts till on though here so not many people queing for too long...😊 sounds nice pork hamonado.. and oh have to go to tesco for food shopping for christmas in an hours time too, its gonna be too busy o can imagine as its christmas eve now...Have a merry Christmas to u all..its gonna be fireworks everywhere on there, miss those sounds :D amping mo..
Well good luck on your shopping trip, and i bet it wont be as stressful as mine was, hey you should film it and upload it, i wish i had of filmed mine, it would have been so funny hearing me moaning (Big Grin).. Merry Christmas Gloria to you all...
Thanks for your great comment, it's much appreciated...

Great video Carl. Asia street markets are just something else and I love them. Great place to explore and the amount of fresh produce is just amazing. I can understand why this one is the favourite. All the best wishes for you, Yvonne and Tilly as well and see you in 2017. Take care
Hello Andre, i have been going to them quite a lot recently, it's a much cheaper way for one to buy their food here, and it's a much fresher way too, plus i prefer the atmosphere they have compared to supermarkets, and we have also been visiting the night market more too, and we have been going there to pick up our Lechon for dinner, and some footage from there should be my next video on here, cheers mate, hope you had a great Christmas day.. Happy New Year...
GOOD MORNING CARL AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND THE GIRLS. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN ON THE SHERRY AND THE MINCE PIES, I CANT SEE THE POINT WAITING TO THE 25TH. SPLENDID VIDEO YOU HAVE HERE. NOT SURE WHEN YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY BACK TO A VERY COLD ENGLAND BUT HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY.
Hello Peter, yeah why not get to work on that sherry and mince pies, i can't see the point of waiting for Christmas day either, i don't mind a little sip of sherry but i hate mince pies, along with Brussel sprouts, they make me heave mate lol.. Not sure when i will be coming back Pete, but i think it may be February some time.. Happy Christmas my long time friend, and thanks for all your support you have shown for my channels over the years, it's been very much appreciated, have a great coming new year and i hope it will be a very healthy one for ya, cheers my friend...
Interesting video Carl. I am always curious of the logistics of moving, handling and storing these products. How are the products, fish etc handled and stored if they are not sold during the day? Take care.
Good question, i never seem to see any of these foods arrive or depart, but they always seem to be very fresh, maybe they take some of it over to the night market from here to be sold, i was at the night market only the other night and bought some Lechon, and man was it nice.. Happy Christmas my friend and all the best for the coming new year, thanks...
We love that fish (Bonito), It looks so fresh, (don't know if it winked at you again) LOL. Amazing video as we love Philippine market videos. As always Tilly is as cute and curious as ever and your camera person is doing a great job. That cup of shrimp paste cost about P150.00 here in the U.S. Another classic Carl The Brit inThe Philippines video. Take care and tell everyone we said Hi and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎅🎄😊💑
Ha ha, i am not gonna hear the end of that winking fish am i (smile) This is probably the best market i have ever visited since i have been in the Philippines, and i have now been to quite a few.. I never had any of that shrimp paste Yvonne bought, but she loved it but said it was a bit salty, but i don't like any food that's very salty anyway.. Thanks for your great comment my friends, and thanks for all the support you have shown my channel over the last year, it's very much appreciated.. Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year, and keep safe on your travels...
Thanks John, i appreciate all the support you have shown my channel, Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year, and lets hope if you plan a visit here in the near future that it all goes well...
cheers Carl, might be a little while yet before I get to visit.....trying to get my life sorted out a bit more first ! but its still definatley on the agenda.....
Good plan John, it's much better to get stuff all sorted there first before you come over here.. Mine was all a bit rushed, i was not planning on staying here, it was only meant to be a short visit, but hey ho four years later 2 have become 3 and i am still here (Smile) I always used to say that my life was all about having a good time, all the rest was propaganda lol, oh how a child can change that..
yep, absolutley right Carl. my new lady is working abroad for another year, and i need that time to sort myself out both with family [i'm a single parent ] and financially. then, who knows where the second Philippine adventure will lead !
Hey Carl.. What a nice trip to the market! They have EVERYTHING. Like Vic, I wouldn't be a good shopper. I would buy everything I don't need. I would be on the corner trying to resell it, Lol. You bought 3 fish, I heard it cost 132. What is that in American $? Have a nice Christmas, Carl.
Ha ha, oh i always try not to buy anything i don't need Carol, but i love walking around the markets and there is always bargain to pick up.. hmm 132 Peso, i guess that's about $2.32 with the current exchange rate.. Hope you had a nice Christmas day there, the day after Christmas we had a flash flood here, and my neighbour had their home flooded, i saw the water rising up towards their front door and kept shouting out trying to warn them, and flashing my torch into their home, but by the time they saw me it was to late as the water started to enter their home, i had my shorts on at the time and waded over to their home and helped lift as much as i could onto the table and sofa, but they had no upstairs and nearly everything got wet, including mattress which were on the floor with no base.. i did feel sorry for them, but all the time i was over there i was watching the water rise at my home, and another 2 inches and i would have been flooded too, but i got an upstairs so it would not have been so bad for me.. it's was nearly 5 years to the day that we had that Sendong Typhoon flood here where 1500 people died almost right outside my front door, you could not help but think about that happening again.. Happy New Year Carol...
They got quite a lot of markets around here James, and i do visit quite a few of them, but this is my favourite, and one of the main reasons for this apart from the food being nice and fresh, is that most of it is under cover, which means you wont get burnt in the hot sun, and i hate the hot sun lol, cheers mate..
I get un subbed on my music channels from my friends channels all the time Diego, but luckily i have not had this problem on this channel YET lol, many thanks for re subbing me, it's much appreciate my friend...
Thanks Nathan, yeah YT can sometimes take up a lot of our time, i might take 3 months off when i go back to England lol.. Happy Christmas mate, and all the best for the coming new year for you and your family, you all take care there...
Oh yeah the smell, well it's just good that the camera don't pick the smell up as nobody would watch my videos lol, it's very strong, this whole area "Stinks" (smile) but i love going here as it's a fantastic market, thanks for watching Colin.. Happy New Year...
Much appreciate your great comment and the sub, and i have subbed ya back, and i will stop by your channel later and watch some videos, but am running late at the moment and am going out in a while.. Thanks...
Hi Tara, oh i am rubbish at giving directions as i can't say the names around here, but i remember you saying how you were from CDO so you might know this area better than me, but it's near the PLDT office, you just keep walking past there, and it's along the same road the very first Jollibee that came to Iligan City is.. That's the best i can do (smile), i still get lost walking around the city when on my own, but i always ask where the mall is to get back on track ha ha, have a nice day and thanks...
i don't live in CDO am just outside there. i know the first jollibee that come to city but not pldt. am not doing much today so might go there later. thanks carl
I`ve read that the Southern Philippine is considered the food basket of the Philippine and from looking at all those food products in this video, they are right.
Yeah i would say that was very true, so much produce which is sold in the Philippines comes from Mindanao, they don't get as many Typhoons here as they get elsewhere in the Philippines, and that's gotta help with farming of any sort, thanks for watching...
(Smile) yeah we know that lol, but what my partner actually meant to say was that it was not a little bird, like the one my daughter has recently been watching in the movie Snow White, where this little bird fly's onto her finger, and that's why she held her finger out, like Snow White did in the movie, for the bird/chicken to fly onto it (Big Grin) and as you would agree a chicken is a bit big for that ha ha, thanks for your comment.. Happy New Year...
Well i'm not American i am English, and i can't speak about how other expats treat their partners, but i treat mine as an equal, and with lots of respect, i always have done and i always will.. Thanks for watching....

🌷🌷🌷 VERY C ☆☆ L VIDEO! We had fun watching! 🌷🌷🌷
Thanks very much Lara, i will stop by later and see if you have any new vids up...

Good question, i never seem to see any of these foods arrive or depart, but they always seem to be very fresh, maybe they take some of it over to the night market from here to be sold, i was at the night market only the other night and bought some Lechon, and man was it nice.. Happy Christmas my friend and all the best for the coming new year, thanks...
We love that fish (Bonito), It looks so fresh, (don't know if it winked at you again) LOL. Amazing video as we love Philippine market videos. As always Tilly is as cute and curious as ever and your camera person is doing a great job. That cup of shrimp paste cost about P150.00 here in the U.S. Another classic Carl The Brit inThe Philippines video. Take care and tell everyone we said Hi and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎅🎄😊💑
Ha ha, i am not gonna hear the end of that winking fish am i (smile) This is probably the best market i have ever visited since i have been in the Philippines, and i have now been to quite a few.. I never had any of that shrimp paste Yvonne bought, but she loved it but said it was a bit salty, but i don't like any food that's very salty anyway.. Thanks for your great comment my friends, and thanks for all the support you have shown my channel over the last year, it's very much appreciated.. Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year, and keep safe on your travels...
thanks Carl, and merry Christmas to you Yvonne and Tilly too !
Thanks John, i appreciate all the support you have shown my channel, Happy Christmas and all the best for the coming new year, and lets hope if you plan a visit here in the near future that it all goes well...
cheers Carl, might be a little while yet before I get to visit.....trying to get my life sorted out a bit more first ! but its still definatley on the agenda.....
Good plan John, it's much better to get stuff all sorted there first before you come over here.. Mine was all a bit rushed, i was not planning on staying here, it was only meant to be a short visit, but hey ho four years later 2 have become 3 and i am still here (Smile) I always used to say that my life was all about having a good time, all the rest was propaganda lol, oh how a child can change that..
yep, absolutley right Carl. my new lady is working abroad for another year, and i need that time to sort myself out both with family [i'm a single parent ] and financially. then, who knows where the second Philippine adventure will lead !
I always find the markets so interesting as nothing like out markets in Northern California. Very cool
I love visiting the markets here, it's one of the things i do on a regular basis here, thanks for watching and commenting, have a good day there...
Love the fresh fish Carl!!! Happy 2017 my friend!
It tastes real nice, hope you had a fun Christmas day there, Happy New Year...
Merry Christmas to you!
Hey Carl.. What a nice trip to the market! They have EVERYTHING. Like Vic, I wouldn't be a good shopper. I would buy everything I don't need. I would be on the corner trying to resell it, Lol. You bought 3 fish, I heard it cost 132. What is that in American $? Have a nice Christmas, Carl.
Ha ha, oh i always try not to buy anything i don't need Carol, but i love walking around the markets and there is always bargain to pick up.. hmm 132 Peso, i guess that's about $2.32 with the current exchange rate.. Hope you had a nice Christmas day there, the day after Christmas we had a flash flood here, and my neighbour had their home flooded, i saw the water rising up towards their front door and kept shouting out trying to warn them, and flashing my torch into their home, but by the time they saw me it was to late as the water started to enter their home, i had my shorts on at the time and waded over to their home and helped lift as much as i could onto the table and sofa, but they had no upstairs and nearly everything got wet, including mattress which were on the floor with no base.. i did feel sorry for them, but all the time i was over there i was watching the water rise at my home, and another 2 inches and i would have been flooded too, but i got an upstairs so it would not have been so bad for me.. it's was nearly 5 years to the day that we had that Sendong Typhoon flood here where 1500 people died almost right outside my front door, you could not help but think about that happening again.. Happy New Year Carol...
We are visiting you again friend.... :)
Appreciate your support, and of course i will be stopping by your channel later.. Happy New Year...
I always like traditional market, foods are fresh.
They got quite a lot of markets around here James, and i do visit quite a few of them, but this is my favourite, and one of the main reasons for this apart from the food being nice and fresh, is that most of it is under cover, which means you wont get burnt in the hot sun, and i hate the hot sun lol, cheers mate..
I just resubbed to your channel my friend, TH-cam unsubbed me. Tily is already a celebrity :) what great here in Ph is people are always smiling
I get un subbed on my music channels from my friends channels all the time Diego, but luckily i have not had this problem on this channel YET lol, many thanks for re subbing me, it's much appreciate my friend...
Hi Carl I'm taking a month off YT my friend. Wishing you and the girls a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2017. Enjoy your visit to the UK👍
Thanks Nathan, yeah YT can sometimes take up a lot of our time, i might take 3 months off when i go back to England lol.. Happy Christmas mate, and all the best for the coming new year for you and your family, you all take care there...
Hello dear friend. Great video.
Happy New Year ✨ 2017 for you and your family 💖

Wow that was cool! How was the smell with all the fish?
Oh yeah the smell, well it's just good that the camera don't pick the smell up as nobody would watch my videos lol, it's very strong, this whole area "Stinks" (smile) but i love going here as it's a fantastic market, thanks for watching Colin.. Happy New Year...

Much appreciate your great comment and the sub, and i have subbed ya back, and i will stop by your channel later and watch some videos, but am running late at the moment and am going out in a while.. Thanks...
Never been to this market Carl but been to iligan many times. looks good, where is it? :-)
Hi Tara, oh i am rubbish at giving directions as i can't say the names around here, but i remember you saying how you were from CDO so you might know this area better than me, but it's near the PLDT office, you just keep walking past there, and it's along the same road the very first Jollibee that came to Iligan City is.. That's the best i can do (smile), i still get lost walking around the city when on my own, but i always ask where the mall is to get back on track ha ha, have a nice day and thanks...
i don't live in CDO am just outside there. i know the first jollibee that come to city but not pldt. am not doing much today so might go there later. thanks carl
Hey if you do go have a fun time, and i am sure you will, thanks for coming back...
Am getting ready now hehe
Лайк!
Thanks Lily, hope you are having a nice day there...
I`ve read that the Southern Philippine is considered the food basket of the Philippine and from looking at all those food products in this video, they are right.
Yeah i would say that was very true, so much produce which is sold in the Philippines comes from Mindanao, they don't get as many Typhoons here as they get elsewhere in the Philippines, and that's gotta help with farming of any sort, thanks for watching...
¡Feliz Año Nuevo 2017!.
Abrazos.
Aína
Thanks for watching my friend.. Happy New Year...
chicken is a bird hehe
(Smile) yeah we know that lol, but what my partner actually meant to say was that it was not a little bird, like the one my daughter has recently been watching in the movie Snow White, where this little bird fly's onto her finger, and that's why she held her finger out, like Snow White did in the movie, for the bird/chicken to fly onto it (Big Grin) and as you would agree a chicken is a bit big for that ha ha, thanks for your comment.. Happy New Year...
a feira tenhe de tudo um pouco ate animais .kkk
Hello Linda, yeah this market has got everything here, many thanks for watching, hope you are keeping well...
What is yours, is yours! What is mine , is mine.
..and those are American men.
I'm glad I'm not married with Am guy.
Well i'm not American i am English, and i can't speak about how other expats treat their partners, but i treat mine as an equal, and with lots of respect, i always have done and i always will.. Thanks for watching....
