I Found the BEST BURGER in Makati, Manila! (LIFE UPDATE)
Great informative clip. Btw, your voice reminds me of the critical drinker 😅.
If you are in Europe and thinking about going to Palawan, save a load of money and just go to Corfu in Greece. Paleokastritsa beach is almost identical to all the best beaches in Palawan. If you want a more Carribbean style beach go to Boracay
Spectacular sceneries are everywhere in Scotland. I'm surprised you're the only one hiking there.
Thank you! I think we will choose El Nido 🙂
So many other better options to visit in the Philippines than Boracay.
6 months in the Philippines - and you will tell us about "The Heart & Soul" of the pinoy!? Please!😮
Feel free to educate me on the exact timeline one should have before being allowed an opinion 👍🙄
Hi. What bring to to the Ph?
Place looks peaceful and quiet. It is interesting that I see not one tree anywhere.
I’ve been to Palawan island 1time quite nice beach
lol u can speak tagalog haha😅 👍
So u live in Philippines ?
Yes but back in Scotland at the moment 👍
@@Craig_in_Asia ok
How are you now? It's been quite a while you have left the Philippines ✨
❤🧡
Its xpensive city to live thanks for sharing
I thought you have to leave the country every 60 days on a tourist visa
That's Thailand and others. Not in the Philippines. 👍
@Craig_in_Asia Ah I see interesting, how often did you have to extend your visa?
@@BlackChocobo12 you can do 1,2 or 6 months periods
@Craig_in_Asia I heard the 6 month one is really hard to get now, is this true? Thanks for the info btw
@@BlackChocobo12 the first time you renew they'll only give you one month, but then after that it was easy to get 6 months from my experience
Thank you sir! And very cute accent hahaha
My question would be why are there so many Filipinos and Filipinas living the country ? If you could count how many people from the Philippines all over the world and they don't want to come back, you would be surprised
In 95% it's purely for money or opportunity. I don't think I've ever met a Filipino working overseas that wouldn't choose to be back in the Philippines if it provided the same income and opportunities. Then again, it probably depends where they are - almost all of the Filipino OFWs I am friends with were in the Middle East so it's hardly surprising they would rather be in the Philippines.
How about Japan.
It's a great island.. Just got back with my Filipino wife..kota beach is truly a beautiful beach..
Your vids look like voice over B-roll that could be done from anywhere by anyone in their bedroom. Need content that seems real.
I'm back in Scotland at the moment mate so it somewhat is voiceover b-roll in recent videos 😊 I did film everything myself, but check the other videos on my channel for more vlogs. Cheers 👍
Concerning elders, nothing is ever forced or beaten into anyone. That would be abusive and not even natural. Seniority is revered because that means you can be yourself at any age and get respect because you will always be "Manong/Lola" etc. That means that you can be vastly different from your grandparents and still bond all the same, no toxic generational wars and all this. Concerning "Kabayan", I understand Eurocentricity and Enlightenment principles of objectivity. That's important but people can’t just start acting like they are God and operate under the pretense that they understand things as they aught to. Just be happy being wrong! There is no shame in that. How can you learn, otherwise? Sinigang is not even a soup. It is something you put in your rice to make it taste better. The understanding is just not there right now but with well-intentioned videos like these, it will get there.
Prosaic. Another Cost of living bit, spare me please.
Thank you so much for this wonderful, sensitive, and emotional tribute.....Just to underscore your story, jap soldiers played bayonet toss-and-catch with innocent Philippine newborns before they left Manila. To my knowledge, this has never been retold in any Japanese school books. Disgraceful and disgusting.
To be honest, except Japanese and a bit Chinese and Thai, nothing delicious in Asia.
welcome to the ph except chinese
Weather;PI time; food; cost of living are boring topics we know already from the air we breathe. You do occasionally get real though.
The Philippines is the truth!
Generally I agree with what’s said . The food is Very Very expensive . Please have in your mind that the quality, quantity , And cost makes it a lot dearer than my home lands of the UK . If you want to make meals at home , in your Condo for an example , then you come to the conclusion that you may as well eat out . The cost of food in the Malls or Supermarkets are 😮 way out of kilt to the UK , so buying the ingredients and cost to make meals , sometimes just don’t add up . I can eat practically anything , I’m not a foodie do to speak . However the food you get in the Philippines isn’t always nice , it’s bad quality , you hear the locals say , it’s yummy , when it isn’t at all . Everyone Has the right to their opinion on the quality of food, including the locals . I’m just giving my opinion . I love the Philippines and I put up with that aspect of living there .
If moving to the Philippines, it won't hurt to learn the language.
I visit both places with my filipina wife , both are great but i like more boracay .
Keep safe and enjoy❤
Geee,,,, please beware of the reality living in the Philippines for a foreigner... You're up to the shock of your life.
Makati is fun, and your expenses are expected. I live in Dasmarinas and your cost are triple what I pay a month, Water $5, Food $130, Internet $60, Alcohol is $200 my most expensive thing. Housing is $0, our house is paid for, HOA $10, Rent for similar home in my subdivision is $300. so there but if your in Makati single your cost are expected.. So I am around 450 a month out the door
I'm really glad you brought up the issue of self-disicipline. Most other youtubers don't talk about that.
I visit philippines with my wife she is a filipina , i want to say i want to go again . I miss philippines . ❤
Just got back a couple of weeks from Bantayan, really underrated and not so crowded like boracay or the other touristy places. Hope pinoy life is treating you well Craig have liked and subscribed all the best Ryan from UK 😊
We’re moving back next year once I retire from the Army and enjoy my retirement up there at age 41.
PILIPINOS THEY WERE THE ONE WHO HELP ALL OVER THE WORLD,, SPECIALLY REFUGEES.
I hope all the foreigners that love the Philippines can think of something like a video content that would help Philippines - China conflict.. So that United Nations will interfere.. thank you
Oh wow. Walls after walls of names… so cool
That.. map(?) that shows the lines, locations..imagine if you were involved and you see this.. must be nostalgic
For those that served.. thank you
Can someone help..I don’t have the word for it .. the place has that certain (I don’t know the next word that fits) .. feel..for the lack of a better word
We prefer tourists only not immigrants. Our population is already too huge compared to the land area for us to accept more people. We will make sure foreigners will not be allowed to own lands.
❤ wow ..wonderful.. How's the weather in El nido and Boracay during the moth of September? Thank you

Seniors who can't afford assisted living in their own country. cheaper to find and marry a girl in poverty stricken province. Also boost their ego. lol
it is dangerous to marry that kind of a girl because that senior may end up bankrupt. she will get all his money and abandon him later on.
