I enjoyed the informative vid. Happy New Year to both of you 🎇
Thank you my friend. Happy New Year!
Awesome job Ginno, you're a life saver for us visitors, thanks for sharing
Thank you my good friend!
I loved your informative video, the only thing that would have made it better would have been to do a video tour of the condo.
Thank you our friend.
Happy New Year to you and your family…
Happy New Year our friend!
Happy new year 🎉
Happy New Year our friend!
Boracay and its white sand beaches is just 4 hours by comfortable airconditioned Ceres bus from Iloilo City. And Guimaras island and its white sand beaches and coves and its mangoes which are the sweetest in the world (try also everything mango, e.g. mango shake, mango pizza, mango-sauced spaghetti, hamburger in mango sauce, mango butterscotch, mango tarts, etc), , are just 20 minutes away by fastcraft boats via the convenient Parola terminal nearby off the Fort San Pedro in Iloilo City Ptoper. And in ILOILO? ILOILO CITY is the first city in the Philippines that has received (just recently, on October 30, 2023) the coveted UNESCO CREATIVE CITY FOR GASTRONOMY recognition. Talk about the excellent local cuisine that has been given recognition by the United Nations Organization.
I think Iloilo City is the best city in the Philippines. Well managed by city officials. The friendliest people you will encounter anywhere. And now being a foodie destination. A city that the Philippines can be very proud of!
Forget about the mango pizza in Guimaras instead go island hopping🇮🇹🇵🇭👈
Happy Nee Year guys! May we have a purposeful and fruitful New Year to come!!!
On that laundry service, please inventory your clothes. Dont let them know if your 3 months is up either...
Happy New Year our friend! Good tip on inventory your clothes when doing laundry service.
Bro Ginno Happy New Year to you and Dazel. I myself will be retiring soon this year. Hope to link up with you when my family and i moved to Philippines.
Happy New Year brother! Here’s my email: ginno1966@yahoo.com
Happy New Year 🎉
Happy New Year our friend!
Good stuff Ginno. Another transportation option is Grab. Found them to be very inexpensive and convenient in Iloilo. We are looking hard at Iloilo City as a part time refuge when we’re here. Love Kalibo but options limited. Headed to Boracay tomorrow. Dreaming of mango pancakes! God Bless brother! Aim High! Rick
I’ll have to try using Grab next time instead of using a taxi in Iloilo City. You definitely have more options available to you in Iloilo City than in Kalibo. Mango pancakes at Real Coffee and Eggs Benedict at Lemon Cafe D’Mall are my go-to breakfast in Boracay. Take care and God bless brother. Aim High!
Thank you for sharing, great info. I was in Chiang Mai for 2 years and on a Non -O retirement visa, I’m back in the USA during the holidays. But will be returning to SEA this spring. Still undecided as where to go, but I think Philippines and Cambodia have less restrictive requirements for staying long term. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning about how you live there.
You’re welcome my friend. Chiang Mai will be Dazel and I’s next trip overseas. Heard good things about it. I recommend Iloilo City because of its central location. It has one of the nicest international airports in the Philippines. It has a port where you can island hop from on the ferries.
@@dazeltv1351 I’m sure you will enjoy Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai is also nice. Just don’t go during the fire season, it’s worse than I ever imagined it could be. but beautiful people, food and culture.
Happy new year!! Manoy!!
Happy New Year Manoy!
This video was very helpful.
You should do this as a business. Many people from the USA could use your advice. I'm 60 years old and looking to move there. You could help us here to adjust to your beautiful country
Thank you my friend. Meeting all the good people through our channel has been very rewarding for me. I will continue to help as best that I can.
Hello sir Ginno, Happy new year..
Been following your vlogs.
Just incase you need other units in Avida Towers for your expat friends, I own studio and 1 Bedroom units for them to rent😊
I’m in the condo myself I like it here I’m in a nice flat 18000 can’t beat it staff here are excellent I was going to buy one but decided look for a house I agree with him you can live in Iloilo on a budget 1000 a month I do it easy with two people. @papabear007
Here’s my email: ginno1966@yahoo.com. Please send me your contact information. Next time Dazel and I are in Iloilo City, we will stop by Avida Towers. Thank you.
Thank you Sir! Glad to hear that you enjoy living in Iloilo City.
@@dazeltv1351
Thanks I try not to like it here but all the convenience the city and people offer is more than you can ask for. And the province is not far ride either and cheaper . I even seen older condo / apartment for 200 usd a month just fyi
@@papabear007 That is another thing nice about Iloilo City; you are so close to rural areas to experience the province life. Wow! $200 a month for a condo is a real bargain.
Another great video and info. Thanks for sharing this. Its really helpful to us and now i have an idea for my starting budget if i decided to move in Iloilo. As military retiree , its is beneficial to be closed to the hospital that accepts Tricare since i have a 5 yr old son, that why i leaning towards iloilo vs Bacolod. How far is that condo to Ateneo with traffic..lol My advantage is that i can speak the local ilonggo and can live like a local. God bless u and ur family. Praying for your good health.
You’re welcome my friend. The Medical City Iloilo is a nice hospital that accepts Tricare. All we pay is the 25% copay and they take care of all the Tricare paperwork. Avida Tower is 350 meters away (5 minute walk) to Ateneo de Iloilo. That is awesome that you speak Ilonggo; you and Dazel can talk in Ilonggo. Thank you for your prayers my friend. Take care and God bless.
@dazeltv1351 thank you. Thats a perfect location for us.
Gino happy new year
🎉🎉🎉🎉
wondering what happened to the restobar.
thank you
Reggie

We no longer own the restobar. Had to give it up once I found out I had cancer last February. We wanted to focus on my treatments and getting my health back. Happy New Year our friend!
@@dazeltv1351 all the best Gino and Dazel.
We’ll see you soon ( June 2024 ) 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@reginaldgines5617 Thank you our friend.
Thanks for this great video about Iloilo City Budget. Injap hotel is a good place to stay for 2 to 3 week exploratory visit? How walkable is Iloilo for a person that lives there without a car?
Yes; Injap Hotel would be a good place to stay for an exploratory visit. Just book for two nights and then ask them for a better deal the rest of your stay once you get there. You get a cheaper rate here normally for walk-ins. It’s a big hotel; they always have rooms available. 2k pesos a night. If you want to save some money; go to airbnb.com; they have places for 1,200-1,500 pesos a night. It’s walkable; but bring an umbrella because it’s hot. If you are by SM City Mall or Festive Mall; it’s walkable. Taxis are plenty and cheap; can take you anywhere for 100 pesos (around $2).
Hi DAZEL AND GINNO it's Your friend Ray from California, Happy New Year To YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, Great Video and wounderful information THANK YOU My BROTHER Ginno GOD BLESS YOU AND DAZEL AND YOUR FAMILY 😇🙏😇
Happy New Year our good friend! Take care and God bless!
Hi guys, late getting to watch your videos but I was under the weather due to the cold weather we're experiencing. Marie said she would call me King HB after seeing your budget😂. I know that was a conservative budget but how much is considered a sweet spot budget? Take care our friends and we love you all.
Hope you’re feeling better my friend. I came up with a conservative budget because he wanted not to go over $1,500. Wanted him to have $500 a month left in order to do some traveling. I think the sweet spot for him would be $2,000 a month.
Hey Gino, do you know if there are taxis on Guimaras Island or is transportation trikes? Going from the port to Reymend Resort. Thank you!
Once you land on Jordan Wharf in Guimaras after the ferry from Iloilo City, Raymen Beach Resort is 45 minutes away in Alubihod Beach. Three transport options depending on your group size and preference. Tricycles (4-5 people), multicabs (8-10 people) or shuttle van (10-14 people).
@@dazeltv1351 Thanks Gino, moving from Cebu City to Iloilo in March and looking forward to exploring the area. I heard that there is some mountain biking on Guimaras and want to try that as well. I appreciate your help, God bless you!
@@scottar3181 You're welcome my friend. Iloilo City is a bike friendly city. Never got to go mountain biking in Guimaras; wish I did now. Take care and God bless.
Happy new year. Is there a public market close by?
Happy New Year! There is a public market by Molo church; about 1 1/2 kilometers from Avida Towers.
You can also go to Central Market or Jaro Market you just need to ride some jeepneys,grab or taxi .
Thanks.
@@rosemendez931 Thank you for sharing the information. Happy New Year! 😃
All the public markets in Iloilo City are being demolished simultaneously and are now under reconstruction to state-of-the-art facilities, and will be fully available next year 2025. These are the Jaro, La Paz, Mandurriao, Villa Arevalo public markets, and the two biggest in the downtown Calle Real area - Iloilo Central Market (Tienda Mayor and the Iloilo "Super" Terminal Market which are being planned and constructed by the SM Devt Corporation. In the meantime, you can go marketing for fresh produce in the temporary structures specially built for the concessionaires who will return to their new kiosks when their public markets are fully operational in 2025. These public markets now under construction are being patterned/inspired by such as those in Europe like the Barcelona (Spain) public markets.
Curious what you're using to edit your videos. :)
It’s a free app called Shotcut.
...that was practical, keep savin' n enjoy a movie n a mango....
Always good I think to keep saving money; even in retirement.
Any chance you can reach out to show some home videos of people in the area?
I’d enjoy seeing this pool and gym availability to these locations or just someone’s home in general
I’ll keep in mind to video someone’s home in Iloilo City; if I get the opportunity. We plan on visiting Avida Towers on our next trip to Iloilo City; we will definitely film their pool and gym.
any beach near iloilo with snorkling opportunities? what would a studio apartment cost there outside the city? 10000 php?
You would have to drive away from Iloilo City to find a beach with snorkeling opportunities. Might be quicker to hop on a ferry from Iloilo City to Guimaras Island to find good snorkeling. You can easily find apartments outside Iloilo City for 10,000 pesos.
Try in northern part of iloilo 2.5 hrs car drive, there are beautiful islands white sand beaches there Isla Gigantes and Sicogon..
I heard Antique offers snorkeling activities, somewhere in Caluya Island.
Sir make this your new business helping men who wants to retire to your country. I really trust you and your heart is very good.
Thank you for the kind words Sir!
Some expats said that there are apartments that cost $300 to $500 per month. Is that true? Is there many apartment like that in Illoilo City?
True! $500 will get you a fully furnished 1-bedroom apartment in a modern condominium with amenities like gym and swimming pool near SM City Iloilo. $300 or less will get you an unfinished 1 or 2 bedroom apartment in apartment rentals (not condominium); no amenities like gym or swimming pool.
Yes, you can find even furnished 3BR houses around Sta. Barbara, Savannah for about Php 15000-18000. Condos near Festive Walk, Molo etc. you can find 1BR furnished around Php 15000-20000 ... sometimes even 2BR!
Aside from. McDonald's and S&R, and Jollibee, Chowking, and Greenwich pizza standalone stores right on streetside near the Avida condominiums and Qualimed Hospital (now expanded in medical services and renamed Gateway Hospital, still Ayala Land-owned), there is also a new standalone Burger King store nearby, now open. And yes, S&R will soon have competition in a new Landers Superstore upcoming soon. The Swedish IKEA is also planning to open a branch in Iloilo, and right now IKEA has a regional distribution center in Iloilo.
Thank you so much for the information. I saw the new Burger King on our last trip to Iloilo City. Landers Superstore and IKEA will be great additions to the city! Iloilo City is a nice and affordable city to live-in.
Bacolod having New York Vibes in the future more better than putot Iloipot
Bacolod City is a nice city too! Dazel and I enjoy our visits to Bacolod. Love their BBQ chicken inasal! But, Iloilo City in my opinion is the more modern city.
