If I Can Find A Spot, I'll Move Here! Beachfront in The Philippines
Welcome to "That Philippines Life" - If I Can Find A Spot, I'll Move Here! Beachfront in The Philippines. I came back to Roxas City Capiz to see if this place can check all my boxes as the perfect place to live in the Philippines. Not only do I check right on the beach but also close by in the next Mega Project Pueblo De Panay Township within Roxas City, I look at lots and condos and even investment properties for Air Bnb. How much is cost of living here? what does rent cost on average, what does properties and condos cost?

What a sudden changed of outlook, from Iloilo to Capiz. We saw how you and Bianca have inspired many expats for choosing Iloilo City to be their new home or for just making the city part of their travel bucket list and we Ilonggos are glad and so thankful for it. We know your current situation and we understand. Take your time to relax... soon things will be better. Stay strong and safe Michael. Hugs!♥
I love to own a beach house, saving money for a small one in Pinas. Sleeping with the sounds of the wave and waking up seeing the waves. Freediving all day and eating non GMOs products. Take Care Man!❤
I did this boat trip back in 2019…have several good pics/memories. I fell asleep while getting massaged and remember seeing the two different currents from the ocean hitting the brackish water plus those make shift bamboo pulleys…good times. Hope you are moving on well!
If you’re in BGC, you can always go to batangas for the beaches there, leave Manila very early in the morning and in 2-3 hours you’re in Batangas.
This is the place Michael you are looking for. It is beautiful. Find ways you can own one.
I am from Cebu and my family is planning to move to Roxas City too in two years time. We really love the place as we see it in every video.
We are sad you are leaving Iloilo City. But happy in a way you found friends to rely on…Don’t forget,when ever you are in Iloilo City, you can always stay with us. Pls note,we’re here in Iloilo November to May. We are your Canadian snow birds friends…

Why Capiz the beach is not good there because the sand is black. Although the people there is very friendly and kind but you can find a resort with white sand in other places to enjoy your stay there
Another cool video ❤can’t wait to see the next one 👍👍👍👍
Really cool video, thank you for sharing this with us.
The fish swimming near that CR have the most unique taste of all, I'll bet !!

That condo is nice. The views were gorgeous too.
Hey Mike... I'm so happy you are in Roxas Capiz. We only get home every 2 years, so we only get updates on new venues like this, until we get home. Unfortunately family don't always give us too many details. LOL But, it's really great getting another perspective. We're hoping to go home to Ma-ayon Capiz later this year, so now we know a few new things happening in Roxas. Oh, I should tell you we have a fish pond near the Ferry Port. Anyway, have fun & hope to meet you some day.
Always nice to be near the beach. Where I am in Bacong I am only 5 mins away from the ocean and so many beach areas going south from Dumaguete with lots of great places to live
Mike ive figured out why.im.enjoying your vlogs so much. You are Real and sensitive. Fantastic!!!!😊
Enjoyed that tour 👍
Michael, if you are looking for a property to own, please take into considerations that the Philipppines is a typhoon belt in Asia,so don't settle in a small island cause it will be at risk.
Looks like a great place to call home.
This looks like a really interesting place! I’ll be going on another scouting trip to the Philippines soon because I have been looking for exactly what you have been describing with beach near amenities and have not had much luck so far. Places seem to be Tourist places that die off and are focused on island, hopping or scuba-diving. This place looks really cool, I’ll definitely put that on my itinerary! Thank you for the great video.
Awesome 👏
Another great video. Great info on areas to buy or rent done in a charming style. No other blogger does what you do even half as well as you. Keep it up you will be v successful there.
Wow! I love the place. Michael, if you choose a place near a sea be careful of your things which can be easily affected by rust. More power!
The place on the thumbnail looks pretty good, it definitely seems like a dream come true! Great thumbnail, great job, and great video Mike! 👍
Goodluck in finding a new place!!And I’m sure there’s a lot out there that you can find 👍
its a good choice if u choose to live here mike..its a very peaceful place to stay and very accessible to everything and places nearby.😊 hello Airam the tour guide.🙂
lovely place Mike - I'D LIVE THERE.
Missed my hometown, never expected that it’ll be much different the last time i left. Watching from Saskatchewan CA
Hi! Michael thanks for visited here in Dumaguete City. Keep safe and God bless 🙏😊
Oh how nice is your place. ❤
Great content Mike, your Video's are getting really good
Very nice and informative! Thank you Mike! Looks like its good to buy a lot accross the beach front property. Even a 200 sqm is great but best to have 3 story structure for the view and some how to avoid d carbon monoxide from the cars..it will help somehow along with very good windows to cut the noice from main road. That will be a very good home and airb&b...plus more elevated to avoid d rising global sea water. Excited for u! I love the vibe in this town Mike! This town loves u back too ❤
Carlyle is also a nice place to visit.white sand beach and cozy.
The place look really nice. We always thought of moving to BGC, but this is something to look into.
maganda naman
Good place to live
Batangas, Bohol, Siargao, and Zambales are pretty popular for residential beach living.
Nice information 😊
Pamanga has beaches and the the modern like blend... but where you are now, that development is VERY interesting...
i recommend antique for beach living👌
You can also try Puerto Princesa they are building a BGC there and you're near to the beach and airport. Triboa bay near city is subic and near airport is Clark. Nasugbu or Calatagan near Tagaytay and Manila.
Nice job Michael! I look forward to hearing the rental prices along the beach in Capriz.
Wish they had some place like that and a Cancun like development but little farther away from that.
Roxas City would definitely be my number one choice.
Enjoy, Do what makes you happy!
Thank you for doing the legwork and finding out about the prices and places?

you might try to consider guimaras island. i think the bridge project linking it to iloilo is already approved. i hear construction starts 2025 and the bridge is done by 2030. thats gonna be like a 20-30 minute drive to iloilo city while you enjoy what the island can offer.

@ThatPhilippinesLife Hi Michael, I think i saw a house for sale by the beach in between the way of SanAntonio resort to Culasi port. If I see it, I will send you the link. Happy to know that you liked our area :) if I recall there are apartments near the beach as well in roxas blvd area.
its nice to invest now there
Roxas is already charming on its own coz it has the laid back city life. Coz you get the necessary things in a city but cheaper and less traffic. But do you think huge BGC inspired township projects done in small cities will be good for the city? They’ve done that in provinces neighboring metro manila and end up being left there with not much happening. It’s suitable for highly urbanized cities i guess? Transportation and population play a vital role in its success. In my opinion, coz theyre still a component city, it’s easier to improve the “existing” city first where there are already people. You know what i mean? It’s better that way than building a model city like those planned cities also done across other countries as well that didnt really become successful. Just something i think randomly about townships in the PH 😊

My sister's friend a retired military man from U. S. Came here in the Philippines. First in Mindanao but failed. Many attempts to find partner and at last found the one. He loves fishing and I told him choose a place that is far from metro Manila. I recommended him the Quezon province. An inland town but near or overlooking the sea area. Now he is in Pagbilao, Quezon. Near Lucena City with bay area and Port with access to Romblon island, marinduque island and masbate island and mindoro island. He loves fishing during weekend in bay area of Lucena or Pagbilao and nearby seaside towns.
Hi Mike! I' joined your army the other day. I'm coming to the Phillipines in 2 weeks! I cannot wait to be there, I hope to meet you, maybe hang out? I'm going to be staying with my brother, until I get my own place, will see how that goes! Anyways, have a great day!

Cool vid! new sub... This is very useful because I get tired of seeing the same 7-8 suggestions for places to live. If I get over there in a couple of years, I want to live within a 3-4 minute walk to a beautiful sandy swimming beach, but also with some urban amenities and services, and not all ate up with expats. A few, but not drowning in them... And I'll be able to comfortably budget 3k a month (U.S.) while still keeping 300 k in savings.
those condo prices are pretty insanely high for what you get. US prices for sure. Not far from what it costs for similar condo's here in Austin TX.

0:58 Yes.. If you go back to Dumaguete, you certainly should look at Dauin. 2:00 There are certain places that say that: Most say, Long Beach in San Vincente, Palawan.. in Cebu they say Lapyahan sa San Remigio, and so on.. Of course how do you define that.. In terms of beauty, Long Beach in Palawan have of course the whitest sand.. in terms of being able to built for a sane price at the waterfront, there might be another place.. the longest beach directly on a big city? maybe Roxas wins that.. but if the big building companies have bite their teeth into Roxas with a megaproject, then the prices will rise there also.. Right now, everywhere there are new developments, and the Philippines have one of the biggest growths in terms of economy in SE Asia.. So now is the right time to still find a good place somewhere for a good price..
That 50,000 condo looks good 👍

Excellent video 😎👍 Your doctor friend seems super cool, I imagine he would be an excellent landlord. Thank you for the detailed condo tours. Another advantage of the $50,000 condo is that you could use that as an anchor for the SRRV Visa since it is over $50,000, instead of putting $20,000 USD cash into an account. Also I love the community fishing effort, it sounds like not only good exercise but you get some nice healthy fresh fish as well! And make new friends to boot.

Roxas City is my hometown and would never replace it to any place in the world. It maybe small but I am proud with the peace-loving, hospitable and God-loving people. For those who are wondering, Roxas City is the capital of Capiz Province and is known to be one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the country. It’s also known for its abundant marine life, receiving the label as the “Seafood Capital of the Philippines”. Furthermore, this bustling and thriving city are among the safest places you can visit in the country.
