I Think I Met Half The City in Iloilo, Philippines 🇵🇭
I Think I Met Half The City in Iloilo, Philippines
My first day visiting Iloilo was a success as I tried Batchoy and met many local Filipinos during a parade. Iloilo, Philippines has modern amenities with nature throughout the city as well. It's a great option for a place to live for someone looking for a smaller city in the Philippines. Thanks for watching!

Not only did you made the kids happy but you also made that taho vendor go home early to his family. Appreciate you, brother.

My timing was just behind all of the festivals! I went to Cebu city right after Sinulog and Iloilo right after Dinagyang! There are so many festivals in the Philippines I can’t keep up with them all 😅
While I certainly never caught anyone's attention like Jonathon does, my experience in the philippines was similar in the fact that I've never met so many wonderful and happy people in my life. So kind and willing to talk and meet new people. I love it there and can't wait to live there permanently!
Johnathan you are so good to the children. All I can say is god bless...

Based in Manila but worked with people from all major cities/provinces all over the PH. Undoubtedly, the people from Iloilo are the best! They're just the sweetest! In fact you'll never hear an Ilonggo get angry on the phone. Never.. Love them. ❤
