Boracay and its white sand beaches is just 4 hours by comfortable airconditioned Ceres bus from Iloilo City. And Guimaras island and its white sand beaches and coves and its mangoes which are the sweetest in the world (try also everything mango, e.g. mango shake, mango pizza, mango-sauced spaghetti, hamburger in mango sauce, mango butterscotch, mango tarts, etc), , are just 20 minutes away by fastcraft boats via the convenient Parola terminal nearby off the Fort San Pedro in Iloilo City Ptoper. And in ILOILO? ILOILO CITY is the first city in the Philippines that has received (just recently, on October 30, 2023) the coveted UNESCO CREATIVE CITY FOR GASTRONOMY recognition. Talk about the excellent local cuisine that has been given recognition by the United Nations Organization.

I think Iloilo City is the best city in the Philippines. Well managed by city officials. The friendliest people you will encounter anywhere. And now being a foodie destination. A city that the Philippines can be very proud of!

Forget about the mango pizza in Guimaras instead go island hopping🇮🇹🇵🇭👈

Good stuff Ginno. Another transportation option is Grab. Found them to be very inexpensive and convenient in Iloilo. We are looking hard at Iloilo City as a part time refuge when we’re here. Love Kalibo but options limited. Headed to Boracay tomorrow. Dreaming of mango pancakes! God Bless brother! Aim High! Rick

I’ll have to try using Grab next time instead of using a taxi in Iloilo City. You definitely have more options available to you in Iloilo City than in Kalibo. Mango pancakes at Real Coffee and Eggs Benedict at Lemon Cafe D’Mall are my go-to breakfast in Boracay. Take care and God bless brother. Aim High!

I loved your informative video, the only thing that would have made it better would have been to do a video tour of the condo.

Thank you for sharing, great info. I was in Chiang Mai for 2 years and on a Non -O retirement visa, I’m back in the USA during the holidays. But will be returning to SEA this spring. Still undecided as where to go, but I think Philippines and Cambodia have less restrictive requirements for staying long term. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning about how you live there.

Another great video and info. Thanks for sharing this. Its really helpful to us and now i have an idea for my starting budget if i decided to move in Iloilo. As military retiree , its is beneficial to be closed to the hospital that accepts Tricare since i have a 5 yr old son, that why i leaning towards iloilo vs Bacolod. How far is that condo to Ateneo with traffic..lol My advantage is that i can speak the local ilonggo and can live like a local. God bless u and ur family. Praying for your good health.

You’re welcome my friend. The Medical City Iloilo is a nice hospital that accepts Tricare. All we pay is the 25% copay and they take care of all the Tricare paperwork. Avida Tower is 350 meters away (5 minute walk) to Ateneo de Iloilo. That is awesome that you speak Ilonggo; you and Dazel can talk in Ilonggo. Thank you for your prayers my friend. Take care and God bless.

Thanks for this great video about Iloilo City Budget. Injap hotel is a good place to stay for 2 to 3 week exploratory visit? How walkable is Iloilo for a person that lives there without a car?

@dazeltv1351

4 ай бұрын

Yes; Injap Hotel would be a good place to stay for an exploratory visit. Just book for two nights and then ask them for a better deal the rest of your stay once you get there. You get a cheaper rate here normally for walk-ins. It’s a big hotel; they always have rooms available. 2k pesos a night. If you want to save some money; go to airbnb.com; they have places for 1,200-1,500 pesos a night. It’s walkable; but bring an umbrella because it’s hot. If you are by SM City Mall or Festive Mall; it’s walkable. Taxis are plenty and cheap; can take you anywhere for 100 pesos (around $2).

Hi guys, late getting to watch your videos but I was under the weather due to the cold weather we're experiencing. Marie said she would call me King HB after seeing your budget😂. I know that was a conservative budget but how much is considered a sweet spot budget? Take care our friends and we love you all.

Hope you’re feeling better my friend. I came up with a conservative budget because he wanted not to go over $1,500. Wanted him to have $500 a month left in order to do some traveling. I think the sweet spot for him would be $2,000 a month.

Once you land on Jordan Wharf in Guimaras after the ferry from Iloilo City, Raymen Beach Resort is 45 minutes away in Alubihod Beach. Three transport options depending on your group size and preference. Tricycles (4-5 people), multicabs (8-10 people) or shuttle van (10-14 people).

All the public markets in Iloilo City are being demolished simultaneously and are now under reconstruction to state-of-the-art facilities, and will be fully available next year 2025. These are the Jaro, La Paz, Mandurriao, Villa Arevalo public markets, and the two biggest in the downtown Calle Real area - Iloilo Central Market (Tienda Mayor and the Iloilo "Super" Terminal Market which are being planned and constructed by the SM Devt Corporation. In the meantime, you can go marketing for fresh produce in the temporary structures specially built for the concessionaires who will return to their new kiosks when their public markets are fully operational in 2025. These public markets now under construction are being patterned/inspired by such as those in Europe like the Barcelona (Spain) public markets.

True! $500 will get you a fully furnished 1-bedroom apartment in a modern condominium with amenities like gym and swimming pool near SM City Iloilo. $300 or less will get you an unfinished 1 or 2 bedroom apartment in apartment rentals (not condominium); no amenities like gym or swimming pool.

You would have to drive away from Iloilo City to find a beach with snorkeling opportunities. Might be quicker to hop on a ferry from Iloilo City to Guimaras Island to find good snorkeling. You can easily find apartments outside Iloilo City for 10,000 pesos.
