A great deal for all of that. Keep going to the places that few vloggers go to. That might be a good niche.
Higantes islands is a combination of Boracay and Palawan, with a little money to spend. Not too crowded, it is not abused. Its the best place to enjoy and have fun.
Agreed!
Couldn't agree more! We almost visited this the last time we were in the Philippines to film one of our TV show episode. But I must say, it is indeed not too crowded so it is certainly a place you can enjoy.
Thank you so much for promoting the Philippines, Michael. You are featuring parts in the Philippines even I, a native born, didn't know existed.
My pleasure!!
I just spent $38 for a “Happy Family” Plate at a Chinese restaurant. There were only 1.5 scallop, 3 shrimps, a piece of lobster…. Can’t believe how many scallops were served to you!
When we all left the plates still had more! It was amazing
I Think You Ordered The "Surprise Family" Plate!!
It would be helpful to know where you are?
I've seen most of your videos all the way from the beginning, including, Canada, Cambodia, and Albania, and I think this was my favorite of all time! If you get any better at this you will be ready for an Oscar Award! My wife's from Iloilo City (Mandurriao) and we've lived in Missouri for the past 24 years now. But we hope to move back there to Iloilo as soon as possible. Maybe in a year, like you. I can't wait to go to those islands!
I can imagine the wait is hard
Thank you for this one- such great value ($20) and eye opening to see that the raw natural beauty is not limited to Palawan. Keep them coming……
Yes,,Wow,,wow indeed a Paradise. Nice video brother, you showcase the beauty of the island and the locals on some of their daily lives. Btw,,by the end of this week we will surpassed 20K. Congrats!
Hopefully soon 🎉
Great video, what a beautiful place!
Loving your new videos. Keep showing the exotic beauty of the Philippines.
Great video
The nearby municipality of Concepcion also has a lot of beautiful islands.
Look forward to seeing them one day soon
Sicogon island 🏝 ♥️ 👌 😍 soon you will see.on northern iloilo 1 hour from. Roxas city 3 hour from iloilo city sicogon it's like boracay it's 80 percent own by Ayala corporations 😊

Very cool! Never been but definitely will put it on my list next time I visit Panay. Thanks for sharing 😊
I had to cut the video a lot, there is so much more I enjoyed about this trip, I think you will love it too
OMG I salivated seeing your lunch 🍽and all the islands, wow man, incredible
I have toured those same islands. It was beautiful and I had a great time.
Your videos are very informative. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Thanks 👍
Amazing.. Thx.. I hope to be there next week. You see a 6'5" guy in a cowboy hat.. It's probably me 🤠 Have a great day!
I'll notice you instantly (so will everyone else)
just recently found your channel, really love the interactions with the locals and the Filipino way of life as well, good job Michael
Interesting ! Palawan is much tougher to get to I hear, so great !
Exactly it's like a cheat code
I'm from Iloilo and I haven't step foot in these islands so far. MUST go then! Thanks Michael for this awesome feature. MABUHAY!
Fantastic 😊
I have only been there once. That was a nice tour, Michael! I'm curious about your trip back to Pilar. Will be waiting for the next video.
It got rescheduled so the LGU can be involved in helping too
Thanks so much!!!!!!!! Very well done and I bet you were ready for a cold one after that.
Truly carles Iloilo has a lot to offer
Damn, I thought I knew a lot about Iloilo. Had no idea the first island was there, with so many people living there. Awesome! Glad your foot's better, M. 20k subs incoming!
Thank you
Amazing tour, thanks so much!
Beautiful. Did you find your apartment?
Thank you
@Ryan-w3ry no place to live yet I have until May so I'm taking my time
Great video’s Michael 😊 From solina beach to Gigantes island, have always travelled to Boracay and Guimaras , when we have been down there, now I see we have to travel the other way. Keep up the good job, enlightening us around Panay Island 😎👍🏻 Take care, Tom 🇳🇴
Thank you Tom
Glad you made it to Isla Gigantes Michael.
Been there 4 or 5 times. My first visit was in 2015. And my last visit was June 2021. I'm still excited to be back there one day. Such a beautiful Paradise!
Really is :) thank you
This is close to my hometown i'll visit this again nxt year
1 month since my first recce trip to the philippines and mate, this video is keeping the fire alive. salamat
More to come!
Nice place to visit without the crowds (excluding weekends)
And they really could use the business during the week, I was so surprised when I asked one of the Island heads, he brought out the log book and told me the averages per day, only 50-65 people per day
Thank you Rosemendez ❤️
Wow its sooo beautiful there! I cant wait to move to the Philippine so I can visit places like this.
I felt like you once too!
Thanks!
This is incredible Rosie! I can't thank you enough
crystal clear water
Yes incredible how clear it is
Thankyou Michael for the information on your island hopping adventure. It certainly will be on my to do list while in Iloilo City in April. Really enjoying your road trip series, as I always get so much enjoyment when visiting unknown cities and meeting such wonderful people who tell wonderful stories and the history of their city. It certainly puts perspective on life .
Have a great evening
Cheers
Jeff Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Jeff
You showed it here. Many will visit that Island.
From your mouth to God’s ear, as the saying goes. Seems like they would gladly welcome more visitors./Maybe Michael noticed but didn’t mention: grilled okra between the shrimp & the lumpia. So a veggie in there./ Liam had a steady camera hand & stayed focused on the “talent”. Maybe family helped him? Otherwise Liam is a natural & too too adorable.
Liam will make an excellent vlogger some day :)
I hope so! When the log person told me the islands only see 50-60 people a day during the week I was a little sad they deserve more business
What a great tour and the price is amazing. You pay that much for that lunch in many places. Definitely a must go to place
It really is!
I'm glad that you made it in northern panay in Isla Higantes 🎉😅😊 it's a part of iloilo province
Should have been here sooner
Another gem in Northern part of Iloilo is Concepcion Iloilo just near Sara and Isla de Gigantes. It has white beaches, balaskayo diving site, an inactive volcano, Mt. Manaphag peak, bluecrab hatchery for export, lumpatan beach but many of these are not flocked by tourist. Another one is Sicogon island in Carles it has its own air strip but a more high end resort.Another thing to visit in Isla de Gigantes by the way is the Bakwit Cave.
Soo glad that finally after more than a year of living in Iloilo City , you went to Carles , Iloilo !!! 🏝🏊♂️👍🤩👏 There are a lot of hidden gems in the northern part of Iloilo. Please explore Sicogon Island , it's also in the municipality of Carles.
Finally indeed and you are so right
Loved Gigantes Island and its surrounding areas. Planning to stay overnight next time on Antonias resort and rent a boat for the whole day so we can use it as we like and not be rushed and not crowded with other folks 😅Keep up the great work with these vids 👍
That would be a fantastic trip, enjoy!
I can smell and feel the beach from your videos. I need to retire soon.
Gigantes is beautiful and its nice cuz its not as popular and overcrowded, but not even close to the beauty of Coron and El Nido.
Not even close? I don't think so. It's in the eyes of the beholder
I'll have to see for myself this year
Welcome to my Province
Beautiful Michael, Don, CA. 2-10-2024.
Try sicogon island as well. Its just in carles too
Gigantes Island hopping it's long overdue.
Indeed
Gladly you featured the attractions in town of Carles. How about featuring the prime hotels and resorts in Mainland and Island of Carles? after a long journey it is good to relax and have a beer in a comfortable place accommodation. 🍻
I have two videos showing Solina that was amazing
paradise what a place it is such clear water lovely sand im retired no money but i need a job so i can visit there lol
Fair enough, one day things will turn around. Stay positive
💯 👍
Hoping you feature the sicogon private resort there someday
One day yes but the price was outside my budget for now
Another great video I just don't know where you get all your energy to do and go to all the places
you go to... Thanks for all the great Info. ( South Florida Filipino ) I would like to say one thing to you.
you seem like a good man to me. You should find someone to share your life with. ( just a thought )
Neither do I, haha 😅 lots of coffee and a personality that loves to explore
I hope you visit also camiguin siargao romblon and balabac in palawan
my husband and I just left there 4days ego it's a beautiful island we did the private tour it was asome
I bet, then you can just choose which areas to spend the most time on if you go private
I cant wait to go back to Iloilo city mybay we all run to each other is going to be great is going to make my day, that little girl I buy some sovener from her she is beautiful.
thanks for the Replies I really appreciate it God bless you besafe Michael.
Makes me realise how much i didn't see 😢 spent all my time in Manila or on Boracay except for a few days in kalibo 😊 though only had 2/3 weeks per visit lol 🤣
Looks very nice. I just like Mindanao more.
Interesting, I have heard some good things about Mindanao, what area there do you like the best, and why, if you don't mind my asking?
Less tourism too likely?
Dinagat island the best@@tryscience
With 7,641 islands (and probably counting) it's safe to say there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of beautiful beaches and islands just like this but haven't been exposed to the outside world. Don't limit yourself to Panay Island. Keep exploring!
Come to batad it's part of iloilo
Purok Uno it means like Village One.
Haha, ive seen many foreigners whose flip flops always break, next time get a more expensive one, more durable and lasts longer. Sorry I forgot the brand thats really good, been in Canada for almost 15 years and haven't gone back home since so I already forgot the brand of that famous flip flop , great vlog btw 😊, please show more islands so I know where to visit when im going for vacation. We also have nice beaches in Ilocos Norte, white rock formation, Boracay of the north, windmills, sand dunes, etc. Try heading north when you have time and see more beauties of the Philippines.
These were 10x the price as local ones. My feet are too big only brand names in big city department stores sell my size
When you go to the beach and do island hopping better wear water shoes to protect your feet.
He has a broken big toe at the moment.@@rosebrown2267
Hi Michael, duri g my many visits to Iloilo City I have always wanted to visit these islands. Im returning this April and would love to plan a island hopping day trip. May I ask the contact for the day hopping trip you took. Thankyou for all your wonderful video's that highlights many Philippine local treasures
Cheers
Jeff Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Jeff take a look at the pinned comment at the top and also I put the link in the video description. Since it's first thing in the morning you could stay overnight with them and they take you free to the port and back too
Almost 20K Subs, that's great! You have some interesting content. Keep persevering, theres a sea of Vloggers in the Phil, but a big culling is coming when adsense goes away. Supercheats and stickers on live content. Patreon and channel memberships. To reach the 7,000 count they count rocks sticking out of the ocean as an Island, supposedly there are 2,000 with people. A funny story, when I was inquireing about going to Apo Island off of Dumaguete they wanted like 1,000 peso for the ride which included the junk fees that Apo Island hits you with, but a local told me that they pay 20 peso to get the ride to or from. They live on Apo Island.
I just googled what you said, there is nothing on the internet about Adsense being dropped, last year they made it easier for people to start earning but that's all the news I can find. Something like that would be burning up places like Reddit? Can you share where you heard that from?
i must admit i enjoyed higantes more than boracay and it is also cleaner
Thanks! Huni Sicogon fundraising 😅
My Dude! 😎 Thank you so much, really appreciate it
I swear that 1 island is where Tom Hanks and Wislon were stranded!
I wonder!! 🤔
That is Godzillas 🐲 tail.
Barangay is the smallest local government unit. But within barangays, they usually split them into 'purok'. So they said they are in Purok Uno, meaning there could be Purok Dos, Purok Tres, Purok Cuatro etc...
That's so interesting, now it makes sense what they were telling me
So barangay, towns or cities, provinces, regions
Now cities are classified as to Highly Urbanized Cities HUC or regular cities. Towns have classes depending on income probably from 1st to 5th. Some HUCs are independent cities meaning the province has no control on that city. For example, Iloilo and Cebu are independents. Residents of these cities don't vote for Provincial positions. They are capital cities so the Provincial Capitol is located there but governor has no power. The chief in the city is the Mayor and usually it has a congressman representing them in the House of Representatives. Passi is not independent, its called a component city.
Some component cities depending on population and income can have a congressman on solo basis. For example, the 1st LGU of Cavite once you get out of Metro Manila is Bacoor. Since component, it votes for Provincial positions and it also has a congressman. Whereas Cavite City, also a component but does not have its own congressman on solo basis. They are part of 1st district and share a congressman with other towns like Kawit, Rosario and Noveleta.
Ill still take Palawan, despite the tourists. Im curious, does Iloilo still have sugar cane plantations, or is that more something from the past? Glad your injury healed and that life keeps moving forward. Thanks for sharing this beautiful scenry.
Iloilo still has sugarcane plantations. 😊
@@PiPoL.1 Sweet !
Definitely some but this is only a guess but not as much as Negros Occidental and Oriental...again just guessing, based on how many trucks on the roads I've seen
@@ThatPhilippinesLife I didn't even realize Negros was known for that. Good info. Thank you. 🙏
Bacalod has tons of sugar cane areas within close proximity to iloilo
Carles is a paradise 💚 Mike, I hope that you are applying sunscreen always while you're out 😅 So hot!
I forget 90% of the time but this day I remembered
Purok Uno it means district one
10:32 Tinola
Wow! Awesome vlog mate. Sux your thongs blew up lol.
Luckily I had super glue in the car..lifesaver since I can't but new ones anywhere but big malls in my size
@@ThatPhilippinesLife how big is that Island those people own? The name again please?
@@davidscott820 maps.app.goo.gl/MMiekmoVxpnXuTKL9
@@ThatPhilippinesLife mate..you need to go back to that island..rent a bike and go all over it as it looks incredible. That main town will be interesting. You could spend a year just exploring that whole area of islands.
Some barangays across the country are sometimes divided into a somewhat "sub-barangays" we call "Purok". Purok uno is just Purok one
Thank you
Purok is like a subsection of a Barangay.
Have you been to Marbuena Island Resort in Ajuy, Iloilo?
I haven't been to the conception area yet. It's on. My short list
@@ThatPhilippinesLife 👌 it's good in there but no nightlife , it's very peaceful there, staffs are very accommodating..👍
It is cheap to live in the Philippines especially in the provinces.
