The place you should try is San Juan/Urbistanzo La Union. Great beach vibe, bars and cafes excellent with surf and nightlife. Reminds me of Byron Bay about 40 years ago. As an Aussie surfer this is the place- forget Boracay , totally overrated and crowded tourist trap.
Haha, I’m in Bacolod right now staying near the Ayala Mall. I have found that I can live off 7-eleven siopao chicken with egg for 55 php, & halo halo from Chowking for 90 php 😁
Soon you will have a stroke due to the high intake of Salt. 👁️
You can’t live on $1200 bucks are you kidding,😂. I Live in Surfers Bungalows Lombok just across the road from the Beach , They have a shared Pool and 6 Bungalows . And its $220 a month or if you do what i did sign on for 12 Moths for $165 a month . There’s are shops just literally 200 yards away, a Cafe on the beach and roadside . I dont need transportation as its got everything i need , Fresh fruit and Vegetables Stalls selling freshly pick products, Its Heavenly. I spend just under $400 bucks a Month and even then i find it hard to spend that much, Man your in the wrong place,
Married to a Filipina living in Scotland. We are seriously considering moving to the Philippines when I retire within the next five years, so I watch a lot of related content. Sad to see that the general vibe these days is that the Philippines is not the top-value-for-money destination any more. From what I see it’s not only a Iloilo issue, it’s country-wide. We would like to own property, but it’s surprisingly expensive, even by UK standards.
Looks like a lot of expats are moving to Thailand again, and countries like Vietnam and Cambodia are becoming more popular.
Looks like the only thing in favor of the Philippines these days are the generously easy visa requirements.
I really hope the trend changes otherwise we will have to consider other countries.
Sadly it's not just real estate but even some basic commodities like produce. Though it's cheaper if you buy in the public wet markets. But foreigners especially westerners aren't used to those kinds of markets and prefer to buy in airconditioned supermarkets. But prices there are a lot higher.
It is more expensive to live here, land prices have risen also gasoline and diesel, I suggest you come here and stay at least a month or more then look around and see what you can afford and enjoy..Thailand is also very nice and a cheaper option..but same thing stay at least a month and look around.. do your research really good..😊
Couples brake up because of financial problems
There are many areas in Iloilo you can live under $500 .. go 2nd , 3rd ,4th or 5th district
They want to live like rich people a normal life would not be good enough for them and if they had to live a normal Filipino life they would do nothing but cry about it. My wife and I built a duplex there in Iloilo and it is for rent but them having to do cooking in a dirty kitchen like a Filipino and only have small bedrooms and no fancy furniture to live on and have to buy their own would be to much for them!! But the cry baby would have things to cry about and beg money from people on here like other people who run from being in debt in their country.I bet they owe a lot of bills back in Canada!!
I think your comments are alittle harsh..infact I was very surprised that you would respond like this , obviously you are not in their situation and probably much older@@gordonlinya6559
SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GUY TELLS ME CONMAN OR SOMEBODY ON THE RUN. @@gordonlinya6559
Hello Michael yes iloilo is growing fast and progressing its a value and demand like California the housing is expensive but remember iloilo is a regional center all government offices are there such as immigration offices to renew your immigration status and the best surgeon and doctors hi tech hospital are in iloilo the good school and university are in iloilo you like the beach maybe you can move to oton or Dumangas coastal town like Texan american ilonggo do they enjoy both world the rural beach life and not to far from the city of iloilo this all my suggestion at the end of the day it's you to decide good luck happy new year 😀 😊
I wonder if splitting your channel is a good idea in the context of viewership. You initially introduced your channel as a couple and a lot of people are comfortable with familiarity. As it goes: two heads are better than one, or as in military tactics you don’t divide your forces.
We were doing great with millions of views a month until we started moving to the new content and then we did about 350k a month steady in views so the data supports getting back to the content we did but...Bianca is far too busy for the travel life now so it will be me mostly solo
Thats easy u cosplay as Bianca... youll be like KingCris of canada.... only problem (ull need ask Bianca what she wore otherwise ppl will notice 😅😅
What I would love to see is more of this type of video. It's not showing the main part of the city where all the action is but instead it's just taking a walk around a nice neighborhood where I might enjoy living. I loved seeing some lovely families taking a walk together and an occasional vehicle going by. I like seeing the downtown areas but more importantly to be able to visualize what my daily life might be like. I was not interested in Iloilo untill I saw this video. Now I can totally see me living there. What road was this filmed on? It appears to be a lovely neighborhood.
This is the neighborhood of Augustine Grove
#garyvansant7422. Request Mike #That Philippines Life #ThatPhilippinesLife to video such streets in Jaro District like Jalandoni Street (where American Cemetery and SM HYPERMART is located) and Commission Civil Street; Benedicto Street; M
H del Pilar Street; M Jayme street; Del Carmen street and D B Ledesna street (both are beside Fon Benito hospital in Jaro; Mission Road (both sides , one stretch leading to ILOILO Mission Hospital; the other end stretching to San Nicolas Railway Street parallel to Burgos street, at the end of San Nicolas street is , to the right ( going to Luna Street ( is Magdalo Street where Saint Therese Maritime College is located) This continuous street from Mission Road to Magdalo and out to Luna Street is the street you are longing to see in a typical Filipino neighborhood, with people, students, families with children, elderly, etc are walking , sling which are small houses a d small stores typical of
Filipino neighborhoods
@garyvansant2472. I don’t know how long you’ve been watching, but fyi they have a ton of walking around their prior home in Iloilo City too; also their Borocay home, walkarounds. Once at old Iloilo neighborhood, the walk was for a purpose (looking for lost cat), but they have lots of walking around neighborhood coz they enjoy walking & often walked daily (may still do so but schedule seems it has been changing).
Thanks for the helpful responses. Glad I found this vlog.
live a simpler lifestyle then you'll survive in iloilo with your 1000 us dollar budget. a lot of us with a much lower budget than that can live here and still enjoy the amenities the city can offer. the problem with maintaining a vlog is that to keep up with your subscriber u need to constantly entertain them with your travels and resto eating and that cost money
That's what they don't think about and they will say that it's too expensive to live in Iloilo but their lifestyle expenses are too much because they spend a lot just for their TH-cam... if they want to save money they should stop TH-cam and live a simple life but comfortable and for sure their budget will be too much and they will save a lot...
Michael
I'm still rooting for your success as a TH-camr and employed resident of the Philppines. I know you are going to be successful: you have the personality, kind heart and excellent work ethic. I'm hoping to speak with you the first week of Feb while I'm there in Iloilo City. My family lives there in Pavia and I'm still debating on buying a house or building. I gave up on condos. I'll email you when it gets closer to see if there is a meet and greet available that week. Take care Brother

When you tried to live on the champagne lifestyle and a beer budget, this is what happens 🤔
You nailed it!
I was going to move to Bali as my dad spent his last 30 years there but it became overcrowded. Philippines is now the place. I’ve done some scouting missions there but can’t seem to find a place that takes all the boxes. The people are amazing, and there’s so many wonderful things about the Philippines. I am struggling like yourself to find a place that is by the beach, and my needs a similar in terms of some western aspects, such as great cafes and Western conveniences. I did struggle to find a place, some are very small and beautiful, but a bit too small, others are there only for tourists and focus on island, hopping or diving. Of course, there’s always that issue of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and typhoons. I went through a very bad typhoon in Boracay and found that windows being blown out, flying shards of glass and suitcases flying in circles in the air didn’t really work for me. I’m going back again to keep trying. An interesting little factor has recently been a change in the taxation system in Australia. They are making it clear they want people to stay here to pay taxes and not leave due to draconian property taxes. Feels weird having choices in life being indirectly controlled by a government. I’ll probably need to base myself here and live there part time.
Yeah...that's the go mate..part time. Hospitals way better here in Aus if you need something done. Bali way too expensive now..like Aussie prices. Unless your married to filipina, the only place you can buy is a Condo. Renting anything in PH is an absolute nightmare.
I just met someone who spent time there. They really liked it there.
The reason why Filipinos are resilient is because of the natural disasters!
If you don't want a complicated life, stay in your developed country and just visit PH from time to time.
My friend from Iloilo told us that it was the unofficial capitol of the Philippines when it was a Spanish colony. I saw all the old Spanish infrastructure there and it is really fascinating that the Spanish chose Iloilo as its base.
Iloilo was the last Spanish controlled city after Manila was lost. The Spanish flag last flew in Iloilo before the spaniards embarked back to Spain and had to stop by Miagao to pick up the Spanish priests there. Iloilo is also known to have been loyal to Spain, declaring the Tagalog revolt in Manila as unpatriotic. Thus, Iloilo received the title "La Muy Leal y Noble Ciudad de Iloilo" (the most loyal and most noble city of Iloilo).
Bacolod better than Iloipot
@@johnpaolobas1036 Ari na naman ang hisaon nga agi nga nag pabuli sa Iloilo kag nagpuli nga ga hibi 😂…
@@johnpaolobas1036Does Bocolod have a walkable area like bolivard or riverwalk similar to Iloilo?
@@Armis71wow. very interesting! thank you for this piece of historic info.
I live in Anda Bohol, positive, clean air and environment, very nice beaches, we have our own house so no rent, our budget is 65000 a month and thats easy to do , negatives, no mall, no fancy bars, good hospital is 2 hours drive, think you cant tik all the boxes fore 100000 and if you find it , it will be the same story like Dumaguette in a few years
Sorry, I beg to differ. $1200.00 is enough to live in Iloilo. You like to eat out all the time, you choose to pick expensive places to rent, you fly out frequently.
True.... $1200 USD is more than most Filipinos with families make
@ken420 No, it's not. 150k a month is a US middle-class budget in most states, so it's ridiculous to claim that much is needed monthly in the Philippines to live comfortably
$2000 a month is minimum cash required to live comfortably in Philippines. Period.
@@tonykelly109 It does NOT cost $2k to live comfortably in the Philippines. Period. If you're paying for a woman, children, and her family, maybe. If it's just yourself and you're not eating out, traveling every other weekend, and are buying crap you do not need, it doesn't cost that much to live comfortably in the Philippines.
@@tonykelly109HI just so you know the average Filipino lives on about $250 a month. An RN makes around $274 a month cop's there make around $300-$600 a month depending on the city they work in so you can definitely live on $1200 a month.
It's not really expensive it depends how you spend your money
I am doing quite well in Dumaguete on about 40,000 peso per month and that translates to about $1,000 Canadian and $760 USD. I live outside of Dumaguete about 10 minutes from the city. I use to take a trike back and forth and trikes within the city that are cheap transportation. It cost me 20 peso to go to the city and 20 peso back and if I took a trike in the city it is 15 peso. I got tired of waiting for trikes or even a bus to get back and forth so I bought a 4 wheel e-bike. Golf cart style. I like it here as it is on the ocean and lots of beaches around. If I want to go anywhere to get away I can take a bus, boat or plane. For me it is kind of a central place to live. I know people complain a lot about brown outs and bad internet but where I am if there is a brown out it never lasts that long unless it is an all day scheduled one for maintainance and my internet works great. Of course if there is a brown out no internet. I have been here almost one year and no plans to move. Although it is time to start exploring again.
Thanks so much 👍
philippine P200,000 a month is roughly around $3,560, thanks very much for wonderful insight. very much appreciated. we love your videos please keep it coming. =)
Sir your foolish I pay $200 per month for 2 nice new studio apartments bohol clean cheep & very comfortable
Lots of people don't want a studio. I need a separate living room and bedroom. If you are going to move out of your own country space is definitely something Americans need to not feel lonely or homesick.
@@Willtravelz that should cost around $250 per month sir
@@michaelstewart399 I'm going to Philippines in February. First stop is iloilo. Hard to find a large size rental for a decent price especially on a short stay. I'm trying to make it to bacolod. Not sure with my schedule if I can fit it into my schedule but hopefully.
Are you guys really divorcing or just splitting up your channels
Iit was discussed in a video but we haven't been an actual couple for a while now. Can't legally divorce under Canadian law until we live in different places separated for one full year
I would buy a spare house or condo and use that as my emergency " I won't go homeless" safehouse for peace of mind. You can rent it out as airbnb if you don't use it right away so it pays itself. What you pay in rent is probably what others pay a mortgage on. At least if you own a place, you can recover what you paid if you decide to sell it. I think prices will go up and up so I would lock in the prices now given China sucks and so is the US and not get priced out. People are leaving for better places. Philippines is one if those better places.
Always great content. Enjoying the adventure… change is change… never boring. 👏🏻👏🏻

Iloipot is the one that is boring. Iloipot never became a Queen
When the money runs Out, you are out. She doesn't need you anymore.
I think the Philippines is making a big mistake when they don't allow foreigners to earn a living there. When you consider how many skilled Filipinos have left the country, it might be a good time to make a change and allow anyone who can contribute to the economy, with their skills, to do so.
Luckily with a company I will have the ability soon
I think you guys need to lockdown land / property as soon as you find a place you like. Inflation is not going away, as govts globally keep printing money = higher inflation. And usually hits housing hard and you will be at the mercy of future landlords. Especially as more foreigners choose Philippines to live in & foreign investors, law of supply & demand. Best of luck to you.
I live in Cebu City, my fiance and I are looking at buying a house in Minglinilla. She wants to build in her home province, but I'm not ready for that much of a laid back life just yet. Haha! Minglinilla, Naga and Talisay are very good areas and a quick ride into city. I have a sailboat at Cebu Yacht club, so I don't want to be too far out. Not many full service marinas in PI.
Your rental is expensive, unless you have pension or SSI MONTHLY INCOME
May be speak to Megaworld...
See if they have a reselling condo... you can get them far less than you would once built...
Then do you travelling for a few years while it's being built... ask for one that can be done as an Air BnB...
We have one at Empire East Highlands City.
It's in Pasig... should be ready in 4 to 5 years....
Come be our neighbour...
I am 44 from the UK... and my misses is a Filipina...
We also do vlogs and stuff.
Best of luck chap.
Yuck
siquijor you can rent $200--300 a month beach front property.
Really I surprised, we heard it was so expensive there but maybe they meant it's expensive to get there
Love your honesty- a quality I don’t see with TH-camr.
You might consider living outside of Iloilo City, like in Iloilo Province. Will cost you around 1,000-1,500usd depending on what kind of lifestyle you want.. 😅
Hi Michael,
Quality has its price. Downgrading in a 3rd world country is not possible for me. Iloilo is very liveable. That has a price. Social security, a lot leisure amenities and health centers.... Population not to crowded with an high level of knowledge should also be worth to pay the dues.
Iloilo is great. Regards from austrian ilongo gid 😅
It's definitely great place, and definitely ready to live with less of the modern life in exchange for lower price
Expats are driving the prices up and teaching the women too
Duma will be like Subic and Olongapo soon
My advise to foreigners is to have an online job that pays at least $15 an hour before moving to the Philippines. Relying on savings or pension won't be enough. One needs $200,000 to retire comfortably in the Philippines.
maybe check dauin where critter hunter the youtuber has a diving school biz, plus you get the dumaguete mafia as your neighbors ready to welcome u both w/ open arms [*check link below] .....
P.S., ... just be careful, they don't call 'em "dramaguete" for nothin' 🤣

Haha we have heard and love Critter Hunter
Renting a house within the city proper is impractical. If you own a vehicle why don't you buy a lot and build a "basic" house in it?
Just like those Russians and other nationalities who are now living in Negros?
They bought half hectare lots for each and built a basic house for a start then upgraded it?
The cost of rent you'll spend in a year could buy an agricultural land in the rural areas?
That is if you're really planning to stay longer.
Just be careful with the Filipina you choose. Avoid suckers. They can make you a beggar in a blink of an eye. Always be vigilant. Don't entrust your money and spendings to them. Always do it yourself.
Dude. Because you can’t be fancy there. Most of the pilipino they go to other country go to work and save money and then go back to Philippines. Or some filipino stay in other country because their life is better , better job, better retirement, better investment, better hospitals. You can’t live in the Philippines if you don’t have patience. Life there is not easy. I get your point. I’m Filipino married to American. But i prefer to stay here in america. It’s so corrupt there. I’m not impressed anymore in my own country.
There is a cheapest part of Iloilo especially in the province but if you’re not navigating to find a cheaper place …you can’t find it
Jan 23 she goes to finally file the papers, we were told it's about 9 months process until it's approved, a little while to go
I am in the same boat u are. I want a A/C unit flushing bathroom hot showers . what i see on line the cost of rent is thou the roof .
Hi you might want to check out Leyte area, Tacloban or Ormac city or the suburbs!
Dumaguete scooter & trike traffic/ noise & fumes are the worst we have ever experienced in our world 🌎 travels...
Biggest expense is rent no matter where you’re at. Some times you have to shrink the dream and stay in a very small place. If you can’t find cheap rent by the beach then find another country or don’t live by the beach. The bigger the place the more thing you have to fill it up with - and most those things people really do no need or can wait until their income justifies the purchase. $300 usd or 16,600 PH is max you should be paying anywhere until you get your business up and running and developing more income streams - bringing in the income needed. Yes, you can justify you needed the space for this or that or to be successful- but you really don’t. Have a small foot print then slowly expand once you can justify expanding by your increases income.
SAVE YOUR BREATH ON GOING TO DUMAGUETE. ITS BECOME INFESTED WITH EXPATS. BECAUSE OF THAT AND INFLATION THE LOCALS THERE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION. RENT AND FOOD PRICES HAVE GONE UP DRAMATICALLY FROM WHAT THEY USED TO BE. TRANSPORTATION HAS AS WELL. CAN'T SAY I BLAME THEM. FOREIGNERS ARE THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER NOW.
Do what makes youuu happy & content:))))
Great news on the cleft pallet charity work. Sounds like some exciting coverage coming up which will show you achieve all the goals you outlined. Well done indeed 👏 ♡
Problem is you are giving $$ to her relatives and extended families.
Yes nice to visit but not a place to live. So guys choose other Asian countries and just visit Philippines.
Its because of your caption ! I'll unsubscribed you !
Sadly, cost of living in all places in the Philippines is too high now especially in urban areas. Only way to lessen expenses is to live on a beach or farm far from the city.
DAVAO is better, with International airport as well.
Yes it comes more expensive now the phillipinnes
Getting expensive as it's getting well known because of social media.
Hoping that Bianca can get her dual citizenship so you can buy a house there. City life is really expensive go to Iloilo nearby province like Guimaras , Roxas, Aklan its near Iloilo so you can still visit the place from time to time.
Younger wives are allergic to budgets!!!
Pagudpud Ilocos Norte
Camiguin Island
Take your pick
I have 1 bedroom condo in smdc pasay for long term rental incase you need one.
As a UK citizen looking to move to the Philippines and retire maybe work in the Philippines if I can, along with my Filipino partner I have been considering moving to Cebu or Dumaguete. Ideally to purchase a 2 bedroom home. Is it worth buying or renting in the Philippines? If we buy it will be a cash purchase.
As you are living in the Philippines, as an expat, what would be your suggestions and thoughts about this?
Take care.
Simon 👍
Definitely buying is the way to go, or even building your own. It's all supply and demand Cebu and dunaguete have lots of supply so the prices are good
You need 2k USD a month or move to the Province.
That's right, i wonder if Bacolod would be cheaper coz Iloilo and Bacolod are both highly urbanized cities and in my experience prices are about the same. Both cities are becoming bigger too. My advice is you'd really have to look into the province, the towns or something like Roxas City if you need to look for cheaper housing and costs of living. Antique too i think has lower costs of living.
I also noticed that you already know people in Roxas so that would be easier. Also, moving wouldn't be so difficult since you can do it by land.
And don't skip the towns like Guimbal or Miag-ao or any other towns in other provinces. They surely would offer a cheaper life.
His transportation is not free, even if he has his own schooter it cost money to operate and protect😮😢
I moved out of Iloilo City to Tigbauan about 40 min away from the city and malls. My rent went down but my electric went up living in a house not a Condo. But even though I live near the market I still felt I needed my own transportation. In Iloilo I could just jump in a cab and go anywhere for about p100. So I feel when your looking for a place outside the convenience of the city you might want to think about how you are going to get around.
Would you do an updated budget/expenditure for us? Be interesting to see how day to day costs have increased.
Yes please
Very soon yes :)
@@ThatPhilippinesLife would be interesting to see it as a timeline comparison, maybe your starting costs circa Boracay to the IloIlo arrival and settle in to currently. That would be great if poss.
In dulag, leyte, Philippines there hotel per day is 1200 pesos you have big room and free breakfast it's one hour travel to tacloban city.Its cheap there plus it's near the beach.And many near by beautiful places like kalanggaman, Padre burgos, tacloban, leyte and many more
Stay in Iloilo! If you choose other cities we’ll that’s fine but ILOILO is ILOILO! Iloilo is different… You’ll see it one day!
Iloilo is sinking Due to global warming,i wouldn't live in a place which would soon give me headache about tackling the elements
There's some rent to own houses located in Pavia, Iloilo where the local subdivisions can be seen (as per comprehensive land use of Iloilo- designated especially for residential houses) and it's just 7 mins away from the city. You can check deca homes - sta Barbara or Pavia which cost P5500 per month or even lumina homes Iloilo.
I lived in Iloilo for 6 months, had a very small place for 15k a month. We found a place in imus cavite for 8500k 2 bedroom. A pretty nice place for the money if you want to come this way. Its about 40 minutes to moa depending on traffic.
Try Oton or Tigbaun area
You should consider Lipa City, Batangas. Cost of living is still very reasonable, especially considering its proximity to Tagaytay, Manila, as well as the beaches all around Batangas!
Bianca has been talking to her mother about there recently
I lived in Lipa for a year. It has to be the dullest ugliest city in the Philippines. One modest shopping center. Does have an S&R, not a large choice of restaurants, long way from beaches, have to go to batangas for immigration office.
You can find cheap housing there, they have a number of gated communities but not very impressive.
Lipa is not a good choice.
@@johntaylor4817. You are 100% correct. Lipa City, Batangas has really gone downhill over the past 5 years. Shopping is dismal, infrastructure seriously lacking, traffic has become horendous, taking more than 1 hour just to get from Brgy Banaybanay to Robinson's Mall & longer to SM.
I agree on everything they say about Lipa..I lived there for 4 years in a farm lot. Lots of traffic in the city. immigration office is in Batangas city. Very hard to go out in that city. Doing average chores is very challenging in Lipa..we bought a farm lot in San Pablo Laguna now. Very nice with no brown outs, traffic is more fair and cooler then Lipa. They just built a new by-pass and a TR-4 highway near our property so traveling will be even better . 😊
I am wondering if you ever considered before on investing in condo units and renting them out for additional income? Coz that's what i am advising my foreigner friend. He doesn't vlog or have any online work, but he does have some savings and inheritance money. So i told him to move here or any Asian country he prefers where cost of living is much lower compared to his country and invest in condo units - one he can live in and the other/s to rent out.
We don't have the finances to do that we were tied up in stocks that dropped by 90% just before we came to the Philippines. But it's true 20% average rise in price per year these days over here so if you can rent it out for the monthly costs regularly it's a good investment
Hi Michael you said to your vlogg that your wife at 2024 become dual citizen its mean you can avail permanent residence in the philippines you can start scouting properties near at iloilo like coastal town of iloilo or Guimaras island when the bridge is about to start at coast town of iloilo province and Guimaras the land and property will skyrocket its will be boom in iloilo province and Guimaras province because of that bridges to build connection of three island panay Guimaras and negretos island 🏝 😉 ❤
Process for her will be about 9 months to a year so eventually yes
Curious, is youtube trickier for monetizing over time now the more youtubers there are?
I'm not sure, depends how big the audience is and I think people considering leaving the west is at an all time high so the audience must be big. Then again more vlogging about the same subject makes it harder to get the algorithm to choose you to be shown
Check out Davao. It's the 2nd safest city in S.E. Asia. Brown outs are rare and we have one of the lowest electric rates. Public transportation is available and housing rental rates are reasonable. Davao has everything a foreigner would want and doesn't want. The only downside is there isn't a lot of beaches unless you want to take a trip to Samal Island.
I hear good things about Cagayan de Oro & its surrounding communities. choice in elevation, no brown outs & yes, the expat gated communities are pricy
Hey Mike, i think you need to visit the Concepcion it's a great place too. Concepcion is after Banate, it has beach, mountains, falls, farm etc..
Concepcion is prone to flooding .My relative has beach house property there. Roxas is a good area for him but its also flooding there. Miag ao? San Juaquin? if he wants to stay in Iloilo.
Your being followed, Leyte is a nice province as is right up the top of Luzon, batangas also
Good vid mate, and a good plan. Great if you can get some income there. And thanks to all your great friends there for helping you out 👍
When I was in Philippines I was living 60000 pesos to 80000 pesos a month.
The ending of your vlog featuring Guimbal is like a clue for your next place to live. Beaches and 15mins away from the city probably thick your boxes for the place to live.
XxxWanting to move from the city because of prices getting high? Try the suburbs like Santa Barbara, Pavia, Oton, yes, Oton has beaches. Here in Oton , try to meet up with Mr. and Mrs. Blair. They may be able to help you find a house in Oton across the beach. They live in Oton outside Iloilo City and in front of the house across the street, is the beach and their house is called Blair House.
Mr and mrs Blair?
@@ThatPhilippinesLife the wife is the former Grace Poli, Ilongga. They stay in London most of the time their house in Oton is along the highway to Tigbauan, it is in front of a resort (I think it was the former Anhawan beach resort , or some other resort. The facade has a large circle hole as architectural decor, and a small sign says Blair House. There are also subdivisions there facing the beach. In the other hand, at Punta Santa Cruz, where the Villa jeeps turn to return to the City Proper, on the street where an English mansion( formerly owned by a British businessman who manufactured dolls for export, but is now a senior citizens' home but serves unlimited meals (smorgasbord), you proceed to Villa Adelfa resort, after which it is already in the territory of Oton where a beautiful house can be rented, I believe, because the owners are abroad. It has a sari sari store/bakery in front, and across the street of this small road is the beach, clean , quiet, and natural, and not as salty.
Hi I’m in Bacolod and the way I stay on a budget is by buying my own furniture and rent an empty house , much cheaper to rent empty places than furnished . If you come to visit Bacolod again we could meet for coffee and a chat
It's true unfurnished is much cheaper
First towns outside the city has some cheap rentals ( Pavia, Leganes, San Miguel and Oton), one ride each going to the city.
I think Onton is the only one on the ocean? haven't found any rentals so far along the water also the recently flooding has turned us away from the area for a bit. The sea wall being built is expected to fix this ussue
@@ThatPhilippinesLife yes. And Some people say Bacolod is cheaper, so I think you should try it. They have an esplanade too I think the one in front of their New Bacolod govt center.
@@bluee3788 I saw that "esplanade". What esplanade? It's just a shallow canal that dries up most of the time, at the other side of which are slum areas where its teenagers would wage scuffles in front and in the vicinity of the New Government center during evenings and late nights when the city hall is already closed. Wouldn't you be afraid to roam around the place at night? And the canal Esplanades? C'mon Dont fool the viewers of this vlog about an "esplanade ". Let's be realistic. It's just a canal pretending to be an esplanade in order to keep up with the river esplanades.ib Iloilo. The real esplanades are Sum-ag waiting to be redeveloped.
@@armandosune3839Exactly I was in Bocolod before the virus. There is nothing and nowhere to go in Bocolod. Food is good though.
@@ThatPhilippinesLifeLeganes also have a beach/ocean…
Farm & Beach? Try Guimaras Island…
A general video discussing different regions, cities and developments in the Philippines, regarding the cost of living, and rent prices in different regions, would be a super successful video anyways. You wouldnt believe how many people are searching for exactly those videos.
So, let us participate in your thought process, and maybe you know some people who are experts in that area, that you could invite in the video, either like a video conference or sitting down live with them.
How about Dan and Qiang? You met with them a few months ago, I saw it on their channel. They also have a lot of experience in that area. And maybe to find some local filipino expert who knows everything about prices in every corner of the Philippines.
I think this would be a great video with a lot of views
Definitely they have a lot of experience and you are correct I should ask them what they found recently here cost wise.
Will be spending these next 5 months looking at the various places and their costs
Happy New Year Michael & Bianca. We recently moved back to Santa Rosa, Luzon and love it here in Ciudad de San Jose subdivision. 20,000 pesos rent. There is a nice swimming pool. Plenty of local eateries within as well as sari-sari's.
We have friends there as well it is super nice place to live! Unfortunately we don't have a vehicle so it's not convenient for us to live that far out.
Those Masbate beaches were awesome! I wonder about Leyte…Tocloban, Maasin, Padre Burgos, Ormoc? Mindanao…Samal Garden City, Cateel, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro??
I have a house on Samal..lovely place. The bridge to Davao is being built. Once that's finished, land prices will skyrocket..so get in now before that happens 👍
Live Nauwai island beach footwalk away, weekly expenses below 500 us.. 😅😅
Definitely looks nice but we really want to be very close to a city
Did they raise your rent or something? Have you guys considered living in a smaller place like a condo or apartment? The place you live in now is a single-family home I think.
They haven't raised it but the lease is not renewable, our income has fallen by about 50% so when the lease ends and we now see what the market is going for here we need to adjust
Money management is a very important key 👍 true!
As Iloilo city keeps booming… prices gets growing! Though, there are still lots of residences there that ranges 15 to 20k. I know many expats live outside Iloilo. The city is lately bombarded with infrastructures.
If you saw on our live there is practically nothing available these days here in Iloilo
Once Bianca gets her dual you can get a permanent residence visa because you are married and it costs about 6 usd.
Bohol Panglao
Yo Mike ... I have a cleft palate and support operation smile ... Im stoked to hear you support these kids and there needs. Kudos
I bought some new four wheelers and keep them at Fels house in la castanella about an hour and half outside bacolod if you want to ride atv in the province ... Proud to know you !!!!
That's so cool let's connect in FB, we can go for a ride next week?
Some in depth exploration of the interior of Panay would attract some subscribers. ie: determine an expedition to finding the exotic Rafflesia speciosa, a rare & unusual flower, seldom seen, said to yet hide in the jungles of Central Panay Mountain Range (CPMR). I would also suggest doing a series on exploring for all sources/examples of old Spanish architecture. I can never understand why travel vloggers don't do this across the PH. The opportunities are fantastic....and i'm not talking about just the old colonial houses as there are bridges, fortifications, etc, often hidden away & ignored.
Because Spanish forts and churches are nice but they are the same everywhere in all Latin America and even Florida - same Spanish architecture it gets boring afterawhile.
WHEN WILL IT COME AVAILABLE?
May 11 our lease ends but another subscriber sent in an offer on it already so we will see
Get to know "Operation Smile" for cleft palate and see if you can collaborate with them.
I believe that is the operation name actually
Also, you can talk about Don Salvador Benedicto near Bacolod if and when you do pass by.
Just a couple of places off the top of my head if you want a place near a beach although I have no idea what the cost of renting a place in these areas would be, but how about San Fernando City (La Union) or Cebu as I think there are some decent beaches around there. Then again there's the Subic Bay area as well.
Thank you
How much for a small modern studio apartment there?
For rent?.if yes P30k a month around 25 sq m
@@ThatPhilippinesLife Yikes! Well above the 17K pesos I'd be willing to pay. Ah well, the search continues.
I was shocked to see the subscriber change thanks for the info on channel splitting,really enjoyed your vids together as a couple discovering Phils but I understand you need to do whats best for you as it is your journey.I'm from Toronto so have been always rooting for you to succeed there .Great to hear about your business venture and especially your charity work! I love to see you both getting involved in your community there...a good Canadian trait!My wife and I built our retirement home in Eastern Samar and within the next year hope to be there full time,its definitely province living and is very much untouched ,like going back in time to the eighties,you can absolutely live there on 1500 cdn a month.Maybe check out that area of the Philippines ,at least for a visit,its a real untouched gem!Especially in Calicoan and Guiuan where we live!
Happy New Years ❤to You and Bionca
All the Best in 2024
Great ❤videos
