great drive through Cebu I think it might be another year before the Philippines fully opens things are going very slow here with the vaccines and move theaters are still not open
Great vid Rod👍 I was very surprised to see a classic American 1957 Ford Thunderbird cruising in the other direction when you went past Crossroads 6:47. I would say that is pretty unique for the Philippines, I know there was a great following for the early VW's and FJ40 Landcruisers when I was last there but didn't see many American classics. Thanks again for keeping us informed👍. I am looking forward to returning once the dust has settled from the Winnie the pooh flu.
Great video as always Rod. So much construction going on there I won’t recognise the place when I get back. Great news that SRRV is back! First I’d heard that. But I suppose you still can’t travel there on that. Oh well, Hong Kong is good for now at least. Have a great day!
Rod, fantastic talk and ride video. I was so into this video, I saw the people on the truck waving and I even waved back myself. So great you will do another video on SRRV retirement. Really need those updates. Cebu, is perfect area for me to retire with the international airport, large hospitals and military veteran stuff too especially since I am age 58 now. Rod, you have great patience too. That is what people in the Philippines appreciate the most with us Americans when we do that as courtesy, having lived there before at Clark Air Base. Wonderful scenes to see on locations in Cebu, so I have a ideal on where everything is at, in my retirement plans in the future. You are on target about everything most likely opening up around Christmas time too. Thanks again for helping us all.
I miss this place so much. I used to travel here everyday but due to COVID19 I'm stuck at home in the province but still blessed since still working at home☺️
Oo IIigan City two or three months that’s what I understand and my cat is going with me he’s fully vaccinated we’re going to live with a friend a close close friend Brother. I am rather excited I have my shots my cove at 19. Tell me is there anything else did I need thank you very very much🇨🇿
I have not stayed there Eddie but seems like a decent place in a good location. I have done a couple of videos there. This is the latest: th-cam.com/video/u021GJsuF70/w-d-xo.html
long time since i was over in Mandaue was when we went to see British consul when we were doing paperwork allowing us to marry, nearly 10 yrs ago now, looks just as hot though we actually have sun here in Scotland just now, a rarity lol.
Great information as always heads up if anybody is going for child custody in the Philippines the law changed in 2020 all cases have been thrown out like us you're need to go file for reconsideration worst case is reapply and omg we have been going through it since 2019 just wanted to share that with your viewers
I think you last year talked about that the city could become more dangerous when more people are losing their jobs etc. Has that been the case, is the city more dangerous now?
They claim that crime has gone down Hew, probably because of the control on movement. Most crime statistics around the world are really not that accurate so not sure of the reality. There are more homeless and others on the streets asking for money and food.
Hi Rod, another interesting video, thanks. I have contacted JRC Visa Consultancy 2 times trying to get information about getting a SRRV but never heard back, I think a police clearance from my home country is need and it must be within 6 months to be good, I'm in America and would like to know if this is true and is there anything other paperwork that I can bring there with me when the Philippine is reopened.
There are a couple of congressmen here handing out Ivermectin to their citizens and "cases" are reduced substantially Rick. There is $$$ here and around the world trying to prevent an effective, safe, and cheap solution from being used. There is a company somewhere in phase 1 of an ivermectin vaccine showing great results.
It would be interesting what the Philippines govt will do by Christmas. With the delta variant increasing in 47 states here in the US as of right now. All I know for sure there is no more fiesta gathering in January. It’s probably indefinitely. People don’t know this I was at the hospital In Cebu City on Jan 14th 2020 to visit my father. Covid was already there. The news was just broke out a virus just broke out from wuhan. I went to the hospital front desk staff to process my fathers death certificate and they where talking about 5 Chinese travelers that was just quarantined. I can see worry of their faces and confusion. I didn’t think much about it. Then the largest fiesta (Sinulog) in Cebu City Jan 16th-18th 2020 happened. I bet lots of people got infected in the fiesta then brought it home with them in their respected countries after it was over. By the time I left feb 20th to the US the Filipino taxi drivers was required to wear mask and airports and flying back I had to wear a mask in all flights. the rest is history.
Tell the Philippines to lift all restrictions or go broke, tourists are not going to jump through crazy hoops just to get ripped off, they will take their money elsewhere.

I hope so also. Good luck.

The PH is forecast to be the slowest recovery in SE Asia Jeff....so that may offer some opportunities for those looking for "deals".
Hello, my friend, today is a nice weekend.
Thank you so much for uploading a great video today.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, too.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

You finally arrived Rod, thanks for the info. And be safe too😎
Nice to see Cebu again...thanks for sharing...see you when I get back..
Thanks John and safe travels.
Hi Rod got to catch up with your videos, good to see you
Great video as always Rod. So much construction going on there I won’t recognise the place when I get back. Great news that SRRV is back! First I’d heard that. But I suppose you still can’t travel there on that. Oh well, Hong Kong is good for now at least. Have a great day!
That is true Drew. I have seen many changes in the last 6 years and there is much more to come.
In Indonesia it's only $266 dollars US for an investor visa and it gives you permanent residency.
Interesting. Thanks Ismail. There are options.
Rod, fantastic talk and ride video. I was so into this video, I saw the people on the truck waving and I even waved back myself. So great you will do another video on SRRV retirement.

Thanks David. One could get stressed here without understanding the culture and adapting to it. Good luck with your plans.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Thanks Rod, your information always helps for my future plans.
Great video and info as always Rod, i have watched so many of these types of videos you have done that i feel like i know Cebu already haha.
Thanks Brian. I also watched many videos about the PH before traveling and it can give one a sense of what to expect.
I miss this place so much. I used to travel here everyday but due to COVID19 I'm stuck at home in the province but still blessed since still working at home☺️
It is good to hear you are able to work still Cath.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Yes still blessed and thankful ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed the mini tour Rod.
My tip for the Phils to reopen for tourism is end 2022, hopefully earlier.
Thanks Doug. Following the international fear news, you may be correct, with many making $$$ of of this while millions have lost their livelihood.
Good evening Rod, thanks again for taking us along.
Thanks for coming along for the ride Dasani.
Miss communication, yeah it happens a lot in the Philippines 🇵🇭😳👍.
It can be a bit challenging Derek.
HI Rod, hope to be there in 2022. Thanks for the update and take care.
Safe travels Neil and good luck.
Thanks for the moto vlog Nice to see the sights. Stay safe on your travels.
It is always good to get out of the house for a ride James.
Hello Rod another good video, keep up the good work . Hope to have another beer again someday when the world is back to normal..
Hi Mitch. Interesting as I was just talking about you last night....all good, of course. Looking forward to good conversation and beer. Take care.

Cool! Good luck with your plans Scott. I occasionally watch 1bike1world on yt. Interesting traveling with a cat or any animal.

It can change weekly ranzmd.
What do you think about Horizon 101?
I have not stayed there Eddie but seems like a decent place in a good location. I have done a couple of videos there. This is the latest: th-cam.com/video/u021GJsuF70/w-d-xo.html

Rod thanks for this video..i miss cebu soo much
Glad you enjoyed it Daryll.

Welcome Sami.
nice video bro 👌
Rod your putting your live in the hands of the motor cycle driver looks not so safe
True. Most are pretty safe. It is my cheap thrill each week.
He actually drove pretty good...my first time we were on the sidewalks..lol
@@teacherjohnsadventure9550 lmao
how do u know that u really had the covid ?
Too long of a discussion to post it here in comments Knut.
Good day to you .
Your 36 month tourist visa will soon be over. Are you going back to the US.
I have until the end of October Paul and will probably pursue a different visa.
Hope you stay in PHILIPPINES Rod because you always give the best news updates.
Man, this this new normal is creepy. Thanks for video Rod.
The whole pandemic response from the PH govt has been a slow moving train wreck.
There are a couple of congressmen here handing out Ivermectin to their citizens and "cases" are reduced substantially Rick. There is $$$ here and around the world trying to prevent an effective, safe, and cheap solution from being used. There is a company somewhere in phase 1 of an ivermectin vaccine showing great results.

They have been cleaning up the wires a bit Rafino but a long ways to go.

Rod are they letting children and over 65's in the malls yet?
They haven't been enforcing that rule for many months Martin.
Good news.
I dont know why recovered people have to wear masks.
Thanks Hong Island. Political idiots continue to be in charge of a scientific and medical issue it seems.
Tell the Philippines to lift all restrictions or go broke, tourists are not going to jump through crazy hoops just to get ripped off, they will take their money elsewhere.
I agree Tom. Thailand tried "Special Visas" and such to attract tourists but few are going with restrictions in place.
