Mergim is the type of Foreign influencer that Filipinos should really support. He's very great at advertising the beauty of bgc, hope more blessings to come because you deserve it so much. Stay safe always

You’re becoming more at home in the Philippines Mergim. Well done.

Thanks for showing BGC, Philippines to the world. Youre truly an influencer. I lived in some cities in Germany but this modern city of Manila is incomparable and the beauty of our islands is truly amazing. Proud pinoy here!

The power of Mergim vlog indeed! It can move mountains... Imagine that man, by just watching Mergim vlogs he dropped everything in Bali and follow Mergim. Insane, can't wait to see other Caucasians move to BGC once they see Mergim vlogs. Cheers Mergim, you the man!

I do not blame Justin for moving to the Philippines. English language is utmost in the Philippines ( being a former US colony from 1898 to 1946 ) and cost of living in Philippines is way cheaper, retirees from other countries are allowed to permanently live in the Philippines. This is why many westerners from Australia, UK, USA, Germany, Ireland, NZ, Canada and from many countries are settling in the Philippines. It is NOT a perfect society and have crime and societal problems of its own ( as do other countries around the globe ) BUT the warm hospitality and culture and beaches of the country makes it most attractive to live and settle permanently.

There are 10x more foreigners living in thailand than philippines. The cost of living in thailand is also cheaper than ph. Bangkok is way way bigger and more modern than metro manila, infact you can fit 2 whole metro manila inside bangkok and it will still have space to spare. Hanoi vietnam also another city which has tons of foreigners.. philippines needs to catch up, but the rising cost of living in the philippines is turning a lot of foreigners off.

Hi Mergin! I chanced upon your vlog a week ago and was blown away! You are the most consequential foreign vlogger in the Phils. today- you are a daredevil and you give a running account of the places you visit that they sort of become a travelogue. I marathon watched you vlogs from the time you first arrived and of course subscribed! Onward to the 100T and more!!

I thank Mergim from the bottom of my heart for helping the Philippines Economy by attracting more foreigners , as you know our country depends alot on Tourism as it takes a large chunk of our GDP , the Pandemic really damaged our economy , so you helping to advertise and show the good sides of the Philippines not well known by the outside world and even to many filipinos is a very very great thing. I also love how down to earth you are compared to many other tourist vloggers , you remind me of Filipino boo a little.

Congrats to your new friend Justin to his move to the Philippines and his perfect condo. Nice Job Mergim! Because of you,r vlogs Justin got convinced to move to BGC. That’s amazing! I’m envious of him too with the condo he picked 😊 Really perfect choice. Nice vlog Mergim. Your the next Philippines tour guide haha

Mergim, your videos are so powerful that you showcase Phil a better place to live in, and it really attract more tourists to visit & live in the phil. Thanks likewise for Justin to move in to BGC. youve made the right choice to live here.

Nice to bump into you yesterday, Mergim! Yup, crazy 30mins queue at Pickup Coffee. 😬😬😬

The second agent was naughty 😅 I worked in Uptown before and it has extremely improved now. I am envious with these guys living there 🥺

Enjoyed this one. Make this a regular coffee chat/interview with expats there and ask them to show their apartment and what they do for a living. I watch someone in NY who asks people in the street to show their apartments. Maybe you can do the same thing.

Juvi must give commision for vlogging her business

Glad that you find our country a better place to stay. You are much welcome to live and we take care of you.

You won't get that for only $1000 including association plus wifi in Toronto or new York. Rent in America for condos are expensive now that's why they move to asia because lifestyle in the west is no longer sustainable. Mergims condo is already a winner for $500. He just need to do home decorating. I think foreigners or tourists should take advantage now of the weak peso. American coming to Ph now are the big winner.

I thought those apartments will be priced in the 75k to 100k pesos range especially since they are fully furnished. I'm surprised to know that they are cheaper than expected. Association dues are even included. Both of those apartments are good deals.

@@Cris-ik7ws there's no uniform for a real property agent usually in the Philippines, and this seems to be her extra work outside being in house in a company.

Even if u're under brokerage u're not required to wear a uniform, maybe an id if u're agency has a headoffice but usually of this is her side job aside from directly under contract with a developer, u don't have to wear the I'd. We only had once uniforms during my SMDC days, but then they removed it. In this case, she isn't paid an allowance for an entire 2-3mos contract by the owner, it's all commission basis. And it's not common for real estate agent to be touring on KZread for most unless u're under those property finders who are KZread based.

Welcome, Justin! Good job, Mergim!

I just want to comment on the 65 SQ. Mts. Condo. When you went out to the balcony, I saw the top of the next building has the centralized air-condition unit on its top floor. This adds noise in the daytime when fans are running, during nighttime it shouldn’t be a problem as apparently it is an office building. Of course this is only when you venture out to the balcony. That was my experience when I had a condo overlooking an office building with the aircond blowers on top. However, Condo is nicely furnished and with a good view.

More power Sir. Stay healthy and strong 😊
