Just finished catching up on all your videos so far. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing so much about The Philippines. Ill be going to The Philippines, Negros Occidental island in July 2024 staying around Calatrava area. It will be my first time there definitely hyped after watching all your videos. Thanks again!

Beautiful City Destination 💯🙌

Very nice condo but maybe a bit out of my price range. That piece of land looks good. I have seen that traditional dance with the bamboo before on someone's video. Be my luck to get my foot caught in the middle lol.

Another great vlog Michael. I truly appreciate your efforts in producing these!

I just stayed in this building last week with my Filipina Fiance. This area is going to be something great. Loved our time there before heading to her home town in Antique. Front desk staff at both buildings are great and welcoming. Super reasonable price for the stay for the one we stayed in. In the building next door all the units seems to have the access to the facilities like the pool. There's nothing keeping you from it.

Hey mike

It is great to see such developments in the Philippines. I saw somewhere the super rich like Jeff Bezos and even super rich Filipinos in the US are buying out a lot of the land including entire islands. Palawan is almost sold out with soon to be resorts for the rich and super rich. I am sure they also have to compete with the Chinese and Koreans that are getting in thru a local corporation...?? I am assuming this area does not get hit by major cyclones.

@manosparavida3551

17 күн бұрын

Totally correct. Palawan's out of the typhoon belt, which along with its beautiful beaches and scenery makes it all the more appealing. My one and only visit was January '00 and my guide told me that land was ridiculously inexpensive. If I recall correctly, it was something like P400 per sq/metre. I'm uncertain if there are any active volcano's on Palawan? It truly is 'paradise found'. Well, it once was before the elites bought it up.

The area around the airb&b is like the French Rivera. One could live there and never know there are poor people in the Philippines which is why a lot of foreigners like it. No brown-outs either, as folks elsewhere will be sacrificed, I suspect.

Northern Iloilo is the Alaska of the Philippines, which means it is a rich fishing ground. Exported products in northern Iloilo are tabagak, pinakas, and other dried fish, etc., while Iloilo facing Guimaras has these world-class mangos, which are also exported. There is no durian in Iloilo Proper, but Mango Panay also has lanzones, RR rambutan, and durian, which are also in north-west Panay, but few. Iloilo is one of the most liveable city in the Philippines, as it is the rice granary of the Visayas.
