Wow great video Thank you I can’t wait to try Sparrows it looks really good, What’s the beach like there? We are thinking of relocating there once we come in a couple of weeks we are gonna look around for a rental house Is there anywhere other than fb marketplace to find rentals? Thanks again
WIFE??? Surely the end times are near. 😂 Congrats John... Drydens Mexican Cantina must have gone bust?
Have the expats and tourists returned after the plandemic? So many of those ex military have crossed over and left a demographic hole in the makeup of the local population there. Always been a real lack of apartment and condos there anyway...
After spending years all around the philippines and even though i have a house in olongapo only because its my wifes hometown, i dont see any reason to develop baloy and baretto, other than sex tourism, its too polluted from shit river and the smaller streams for beach use and the noise pollution is horrible. camayan cove is the only place we go that we think the water is clean enough to swim.There are much nicer places all around the philippines. Im kinda suprised that you have stayed there so long john.
Another nice update. Keep it up. I never realized how big Olongapo is though I've been there many times. Thanks again.
The hospital having a resto is not all that unusual from a westerner's viewpoint imo. Hospitals in OZ at least have cafeterias for staff visitors and patients. We know Filipinos have family bring them food in hospital, because they don't get much other than water and basics as a patient. So it could be one of the busier eating joints with a captive (sometimes literally) clientele.
Yes haha what happened to that "tower" planned next to Sit N Bull. lol Glad I didn't invest.
Yah, what happened to that big ore carrier from S America?
Wow on a roll!
Sad! And litter bugs came with the bad food!! The "Maze" is a fire hazard and has burned afew times!
Nice update as always. Good to see you are still keeping an eye on things for those of us that can't be there as often. Thanks.
Good report!
Great update. Funny how McDonald's is a Big Deal here!
Jollibees is the big deal in the Philippines. Now McD's is going bankrupt in the USA as not many people can afford to eat there anymore with the runaway inflation. Welcome to Bidenomics...hope all those that voted for him are bent over and reamed like they deserve.
Wow
There are road works from kalakayan Bridge to barretto been told its to do with road widening , ,, maybe the bridge your on about
Different area.
Thanks for the update. 👌
👍
Are you military retired and using Tricare or Tricare for Life? Also on BayPointe I have found a lot of negative on that hospital. That includes several Filipino news reports on them. How comfortable are you with BayPointe on SMBA. Thanks in advance.
been there in feb this year very nice place going back December
Beer Garden was smart putting that big sign up perpendicular to the street, so it can be seen from Reef Resort. I can't believe I waited to so long to eat at Jewel. Probably because its sort of hidden. I should go to Palm Tree more. Treasure Island was smart to put up that ant-vendor barricade. If the city complains it can be removed and put up again a week later! I wish Angels was open late so I could take something home after bar-hopping.
Highlights 🍺 The Beer Garden is a must-visit restaurant with a beautiful ambiance, including a large indoor screen and a wood-fired brick oven for pizza. 🌴 Palm Tree Resort and Restaurant offers excellent meals, including chicken kiev and Lapu-Lapu fried fish, and provides a pleasant dining experience on the veranda. 🏝 Treasure Island offers great food and a pleasant dining experience by the pool with a view of the bay. 🍔 Harley's serves good hamburgers, Indian food, and schnitzels. 🍕 Shambolis is known for its popular pizza and also offers chicken wings and shawarma. 💎 Jewel Cafe provides excellent food at affordable prices, making it a champion of value, especially for those on a budget. 🌿 Wild Herbs, known for its Thai food, recently relocated to a renovated building. 🥭 Mango's has been popular for over 10 years, serving delicious food by the bay with a refreshing breeze. 🍣 John's Sushi and Steakhouse offers a variety of delicious steaks and fish, with a rooftop dining and billiards area. 🥨 Angels Bakery, a German bakery and restaurant, provides high-quality bakery goods, soups, salads, sandwiches, and pasta. 🌮 Mylene's Cafe offers a diverse menu of American, Filipino, Italian, and Mexican dishes, particularly known for their excellent Mexican food. 🍲 Sit n Bull, the number one restaurant voted by fans, offers a wide selection of food, including an extensive dessert menu.
Thinking about moving there. Any recommendations on places to stay while I look around? My wife and me
The Dennito Hotel rents studio apartments by the month. 17K pesos, 500 pesos water, you pay electric metered at each room. Free WiFi. refrigerator. You will need to supply hot plate and kitchen items.
Informative as always, thanks!
Thanks for this heads up, I will try the ones I haven't been to next visit.
The list covers a lot of tastes, importantly where the restaurants specialise they produce good food. Only one I don't agree deserves its place is 3# for some reason their customer service and food quality has fallen off a cliff in the last year imo. With having one choice for (fresh) Sushi - John and Lois do a great job. I have had fresh Sashimi prepared whilst I wait more than once there and its great. Unassuming decor but great food at a reasonable price. I also like Thai food and Wild Herb ranks right up there for me. I agree with #1 spot, Johns Sushi is my#2 and Wild Herbs is #3. If I am walking on the other side of the road I enjoys Mango's tucker. For overall consistency and quality the Sit n Bull deserves it. ps: I have eaten at least once at all mentioned, bar Hops n Brews (next time).
Jewel is awesome, ate there 3 or 4 times a week during the lock downs after Suzuki closed their kitchen.
Pugon Corner Smokehouse needs to be on this list.
Had a pulled bbq pork sandwich their a couple weeks back👍👍
You walked right by a large wine sction
Another on the ground update from WOT!
Ang pena kamagan dang esla yan ay Ang tablas Komen Lang po kayo
The new supermarket being built by 7-eleven is going to be the new bizmart!!!
Thanks for the update. I probably won't bother going there.
Thanks for the update, so things never change like those long check out lines.
A security guard at puregold today told me they are going to open june 5.
Always good to see you online with another informative video. Thanks.
Thanks for the update, hopefully a Landers or S&R one day. The biggest problem with Divamart is the lack of parking stalls, they have only 8 stalls, if my memory is correct.
like that wireless mic
good to see a report!
It's been picking up this past year. Construction, road work, tourism and now military 🙄
How much it cost you for tye hernia operation?
Man, I hope they don't put a casino down there or another central park
Looks nice
Good run down. News about Lourdes. You have a wireless mic, good.
Thank you for the update!
Great beach---another hidden treasure for you----thanks John
Glad to see you back on John. I enjoy your videos.
Great information John----always good to know the location of a good clinic. As you have said, there are hospitals for emergency sake and it's not that far to Angeles & Clark. And really, not that far to a world class facility at St Lukes in Quezon City. Happy New year to you and the lovely Mango
Happy new year glad your ok after that surgery John, nice seeing/meeting you on my walk in baretto. Thanks for the videos
Hi John nice to see you again and helpfull info for expats , filipinos and vacationers.
