We Just Lost Our Philippines Apartment

  • We’re the Lockwoods and some of you probably know us from our Always Be Changing channel. Even though we have a home - here - in Denver, for more than 3 years, we’ve been traveling the planet to give our kids a more worldly education - and just to experience all the interesting cultures that are outside of the US.
    It wasn’t until maybe 15 months ago that we first visited the Philippines and since then, we’ve found ourselves so in love with the people and their 7,000 islands that we’ve just kept coming back. And back. And back. If you haven’t seen our 4-hour episode that features the first 439 days of our Philippines love affair, be sure to check it out.
    That love, combined with the fact that our BFFs at the MomDuty channel are settling into a beautiful new apartment in BGC, led us to decide on setting up a second home of our own so that we can spend at least half of the year exploring the Philippines.
    And it’s all those adventures that we’ll be sharing on this channel… we’ve already booked another trip to Palawan next month, we have our BGC New Years eve festivities coming up, and of course we’ll be exploring all the islands and places we haven’t visited yet.

We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

    After watching all your family adventures, I’m quite surprised that you guys actually want to live in the city. I pictured you guys living in a really nice single family home near the beach where your kids can continue to explore the beauty of the islands. Your son’s fascination of the wildlife was so much fun to watch. Living in the city is just too commercialized. You can live like that in the states. But living on an island should be lived like you’re living on an island. But that’s just my take on that. Whatever makes you happy. Good Luck on finding your home sweet home. Can’t wait for the next video.
    ❤️❤️❤️

      Your thoughts are all very accurate! Besides wanting to be next to our best friends, we do still travel the world, so being close to Manila airport is pretty key. As much as we'd love being beachside in Palawan, the extra travel time every few weeks would be inconvenient for our current lifestyle. That said, we are exploring ideas for beachfront real estate with @MomDuty for a bit farther into the future! Thank you 🤗

    Absolutely CRUSHING!! Totally captured the raw emotion in real time by not stopping the recording. Very surprised that no counter was even offered. Only thing I can think of is that the owner probably assumed to not ask since they were able to get 15K over the listed price vs.10K under. Still . . . that is bad business on their part.

      @@livethephilippines we’re also excited too for your family. We experienced kind of the same situation though it was through an AirBnb. We paid in full the booking for a unit in BGC then within 24 hours the owner decided to cancel without any explanation. I know this does not apply to all Filipinos in general. Hoping that owners be respectful & value integrity. I believe your family we’ll find a better place.

    Welcome back to the Philippines. Unfortunately, this seems to be common here. BGC has a good turnover rate so should be able to find something. One thing you need here is a lot of patience. If you want to stay in the capital region, recommend taking a look at Alabang, nice area and may save a little money also.
