wherever you choose, the condo unit no matter how big or beautiful it is, is just an empty box. Home is where the family is and where the heart is. Cant wait to see your home soon. Welcome to the Philippines ❤
Well said! YES! 💯Thank you so much for summarizing this!!!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌
dami mong alam. bida bida ka
@@gibberishboner8776 says by someone who has ill thoughts... wala siguro nagmamahal sayo hahaha.
triggered ka ba? bida bida ka kasi masyado🤣 May nalalaman ka pang "official" sa username mo, feeling mo celebrity ka 🤣🤣. Tsaka yang blondie mo hair nagmukha kang tricycle driver na tambay sa internet shop 😂😂😂
A house is just a structure, what matters is the "home"...the people who reside inside.. You are the home. You are lucky because you don't get attached to a certain place...it's easier to cope with. WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES!
I absolutely love this!🙌Thank you for explaining what I was trying to say🥹😭
Let’s go Philippines!!!!! 🇵🇭
Too many cons as suppose to pros…can’t have one thing and not the other…decision decision 😊
I liked the last one, very nice view.
4:29-4:31- Awwww Knoxie you're such an absolute sweetheart. Always thinking of his twinnie first before him. I enjoyed your condo tour. The units offered were amazing. Good luck with your choices. I can't wait for you guys to show us what you've picked.
No skipping of ads for this wonderful family.
much love,
Swenz
Thank you Swenz!!!!!! You’re awesome and so supportive like usual! Knox loves his sister☺️🫶We haven’t found anything yet. Hope we do soon🤞
My father would always watch your vlog eveytime you posts. Though, he was having hard time typing right now since he had aphasia. In his end, he wanted to tell your family that he was looking forward in seeing your fun condo hunting. BGC condo suits your taste well. I noticed your kids love the modern design too!
Wow this means so much to us. Tell your dad we say hello and give him a big hug from The Ocampo Family!🥹🫂 We love condo hunting! It’s tiring but REALLY exciting! Kids love it!
Wow .Those condos are really nice . Hope you have your final choice to call your home. The kids are so excited. See you again on your next videos.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support. Hoping we find our home too🥹
I can't believe how expensive the rent is in BGC. it's like NYC prices. Renting for that much money a month is like throwing money away. It's better to own one and earn equity.
Yeah, you’re definitely paying for the location. We just love BGC😭
Hello Rocio! Im a follower. Just want to say I worked as a property consultant before in the Philipppines and as far as I know there are properties for sale in BGC. You dont "rent to own" it. You offer to buy the property from the developers or from previous owners. If you dont have the upfront cash then you loan from the bank and you pay monthly mortgage which is more or less equivalent to your budget in renting the properties mentioned. Your husband if not yet dual citizen can apply for citizenship so the transactions are faster and easier. 😊
Hi Ricardo! So nice to meet you my friend! Thanks for the information. Super helpful! My husband does have citizenship so we did ask about owning a condo. From my understanding, if we wanted to purchase a condo in a building, it would be a long process. Because not only is there a waiting list for these condos but owners of the building get first choice. Then if none of the owners of that building want to purchase that unit (highly unlikely because someone will purchase it) then it goes to the waiting list. THEN, the board of that building has to approve the person wanting to purchase 🥵
Good luck MomDuty family! Hopefully your offer got accepted. 👍🏼❤️
Thank you so much! Still waiting to hear back, but hopefully soon🤞🙏
I can feel the kids' excitement! Here's t hoping that you get the place at the best deal😍.
Aww thank you so much! You are so nice! We feel the love❤️
Started emotional, I love the condo hunting it is like I am also touring around BGC. Love the energy of Ocampo Family. God bless you guys
Really?! Aww that’s great to hear. It’s so much fun, isn’t it? Yeah after not having a physical home after 4 years, it all seems overwhelming but in such a great way. We’re so excited and emotional at the same time!🥹🥹🥹
Welcome to the Philippines. Thank you so much for choosing the Philippines as your base home. I will pray that you will make the best decision in choosing your home sweet home.
Love This Family.. Hope You Guys Will Got More Subscribers🙏🏽
Aww we really appreciate that! You’re awesome!
Watching your new vlog just reminds me of this verse “Where your treasure is there your heart will be also”
This resonated with me so much. Whatever this means for your family i hope you soon find your lovely home.
Awww….this means so much to me….to us. Thank you for sharing this with us🙏🥹
God Bless your Family Momduty ❤❤❤❤❤
Aww appreciate the blessings my dear!

Awww we love you guys!🥹😭😭😭😭
Can’t wait to host you guys once we find our BGC condo👏
MomDuty fam - to me all condos look the same but in each of them, what tugs the heart is when the MiniDuties find their own rooms ❤
They may have seen the world but they also want a corner to call their own.
Love you Knox and Nia! May you get the best game room and pet friendly spaces too ❤❤❤
Aww this made me tear up🥲Thank you Xel! You’re so right. Whatever makes my babies happy. They just really want a space for themselves. We have loved seeing the world together but I know that they will appreciate not living out of a suitcase☺️🥹🙏😭
Knox voice. His starting to become a teenager.
Yes. 😊
Right? My baby isn’t so little anymore🥹
It’s so cute. Some days he calls me “mom” with a deep voice and sometimes he calls me “mom” with a high voice☺️☺️☺️
That unit is so stunning ❤
I think so too! The views are everything🙌
Welcome and enjoy every moment ❤
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! We love the Philippines!🇵🇭🎉
Hello guys! Great video! New subscriber here! Thanks for sharing. 😊

I hope you will see a great unit soon, take care always and God bless.
Thank you my friend! Haven’t found the one yet😩🙈Some we like aren’t available to move in right away. So it’s been tough.

I hope so too! Thank you so much for the love!
Take care always Guys im always watching ur vlogs ❤❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You’re the best!!!!!👏👏👏👏
I Hope you get the condo that you like. BGC is a great location. We live in Burbank but we have a condo in Trion Towers since 2015. Hope to see you around in BGC next year. We will be there for vacation. Take care always and be safe.
We absolutely love BGC! That’s why we came back. Just feels like home to us. Oh that’s great you have a condo here! Hope to run into you when you come. We’ll be here! Awww Burbank….my husband used to play basketball there. Plus the Burbank Empire Center is awesome! We’ve got lots of memories in Burbank🙌
hey, you can check the latest condo search vlog of the Kito family for bigger units, outside BGC though...
I hope you'll find the perfect home for you guys and enjoy every moment in the philippines. 🥰
Yt bff!!!! We are hoping too🤞So far we haven’t had the best luck with timing. So we’ll see. Many of these condos aren’t available by 10/1.
So happy for u mom duty vlog
Thank you, thank you, thank Irvin!
yeah finally you guys find a place to stay Mabuhay 😊
Still waiting🤞We’ll see. A few of these condos are not ready until later on in the year. We need to move in by 10/1😳
Nice good happy family so cute im jealous
You are so sweet🥹Thank you so much!
Rent to own condo is the best
.. investment wise, 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Yes, true. Except none of these condos we like are rent to own unfortunately.
God bless your family 👪
Thank you so much! Bless you too!🙏
Have fun i kniw its hit but. U used to it here in us a little bit cool so im happy for all of you
Haha. Gotta get used to the humidity🥵but you’re right. Does remind me of the California Summer heat☺️Thanks so much for the love my friend!
When I compare condos, I noticed that a small condo was only worth it IF it has a beautiful view. I tend to put seats facing the view and it makes the room very spacious. I hope to see you around after I move to BGC. My family is currently in the U.S. to be near my son's college.
Yes! That is such a good point. Most of the smaller units don’t have views. That’s great that you’re by your son. I’m sure I’ll run into you guys when you come back! Philippines misses you🇵🇭🥹
New subs here.. i can't wait to see your condo, i love BGC too😊
Thank you so much for subscribing! We appreciate you being here!☺️
the more beautiful view the more high its price.thats what i think...have fun and enjoy your day everyday guys.happy family make you stay young😊😊😊..godbless always
Thank you my friend! Actually a couple condo units that are lower between 20 and 30 floor are more extensive. Same sqm and obstructed views. But I think maybe it’s because of the added furnishings or interior design of the space. We’re learning so much too🙈🤭
welcome to the philippines..
Thank you for the warm welcome! We’re so happy to be here!!🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
❤ missing you Guys.God Bless you always
You are so nice! Thank you for all the love! Sending you a BIG HUG!🫶🫂
I hope you will find a place you could call home. Good luck guys.
Us too🥹Thank you so much for this beautiful message!
Loved the Video❤ Hope you guys find the perfect place to call home❤ praying you find one soon😊 I love how Nia wants a dog,❤ me and my sister have 2 dogs, but we had 7 before, we gave 5 of them away but recently we heard that the Mom dog died,😢..... Praying for your family, God bless💞
Thank you for your prayers Eliana! You’re so sweet!🥹You had 7 dogs? No way!!! Nia would be so happy surrounded by so many furry friends🥰🐶You’re going to have to send her a picture of your digs someday through IG. She’ll love it!
@@MomDuty Your Welcome .... Yup 7 dogs! I would love to send her a pic, but I don't have IG, does she have messenger Kids, or FB Messenger po?
I like PPT still with all that view. Second for me is the west gallery of bonifacio high street south but kinda expensive for the place. and the view of the golf course with the high rises on the left in this video is so relaxing. it's like the cities in the US but this one you see the beautiful view of the mountain from the background. I made a screenshot of it and it will be one of my screen page of my MacBook. thanks for sharing that wonderful shot. 13:15 🤩
Yessss! The PPT views are insane!!!! I can’t imagine waking up to that view every morning and drinking my coffee. Wow!
I wish West Gallery was completely done already.
Yes that was a beautiful shot! So glad you made a screenshot of that🙌
@@MomDuty the aerial view of bgc is so relaxing and i made it as my screen background. also, the 52nd floor of PPT looks awesome!
the last one is great. Just choose the one that you like the most, then turn it into a home.
Aww yes! I love that🥹🏠
You can find spacious condo but much cheaper outside BGC, why don't you scout along Macapagal Avenue near MOA, look also along Roxas blvrd back side of Palacio de Memoria or Condominium along Roxas Blvrd Paranaque and Pasay too, price range less than 100k per month.
That’s always something to think about. We just REALLY love BGC🙌
The last apartment is beautiful 😍😍😍
Yes! My goodness! So many beautiful condos here in BGC!
good luck to whatever condo you would choose
Thanks so much!!!🙏🥹
im hopeful your offer will be accepted 🙏
Thank you for your positive feedback! You’re so nice! We are hoping too🤞
Hope you guys find the best deal out there. Condos in BGC are very expensive. Enjoy your stay!
Yes they are🙈But we love BGC!
How sweet of you thinking first about sister and a bigger room for her.
My sweet baby boy🥹👦🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Appreciate the love!🫶
Better rent a full house outside BGC with your own parking, garden, gated and bigger for not more than 50k!
Lol🤭😂
I agree with that suggestion. We don’t know your financial status the 5K USD might be a small change for you guys but still that small change will add up at the end of the year. Even by US standard that rent price is really high where in the US you can still find rentals for less than 2K USD. Just my two cent. Throwing that much in rental is setting up yourself in financial danger at the end of the month. Most of the time the suggestion for housing cost should just be limited to 25% of your monthly income. Paying 250K for rental means you have to have at least 1 million pesos a month coming in for your income.
A lot of times too looking for a home you always get carried away by your emotion and your financial mindset does not kick in. You only find your financial footing after living at the place for several months and you come to realize that you bite more than you can chew.
💯% Correct!
LOL. For 50K, you're talking non-central places like Greenwoods in Pasig or villages in Paranaque or Las Pinas already.
That's like telling someone shopping for a luxury SUV that they can buy a Mitsubishi Adventure for much less!
I am so happy that you decided to go to the Philippines for permanent residency. I notice that you still do not have enough subscribers, why not travel to India and stay there for maybe 1 month. Every vlogger who visited India had a leap of subscribers. Come back to the Philippines for 2 weeks and then go back to India until your subscribers go up to 100, 000 and more. Spent time between India and Philippines because these are the 2 countries that seem to have the most viewers on you-tube. Hoping for your success and then residency in the Philippines with a side business for retirement in the future like a rental property in the Philippines. Good luck on your endeavors.
Thank you! We love it here! Feels like home🫶India will be our first country that we visit in 2024. We’ve been trying to visit since 2020. For some reason timing has not worked. So I AM so happy we’re finally going 🇮🇳 But not necessary to gain subscribers, we’re going because 1st: We want to visit the Taj Mahal. We’re trying to visit all The Wonders Of The World! 2nd: My best friend from back home is from India and I grew up around her family and culture (I LOVE IT)! 3rd: I want to try all the delicious food🤤

Hi..please try The 4seasons Tower of MITSUKOSHII residences accessible to MITSUKOSHI mall ..😊
We were just there at the mall. I wish I had thought of this before we got there. Ahh so much to see!🇵🇭
11:15 Rocio, Ikaw look tulad si 🇲🇽 Pia Wurtzbach
Haha… thank you! You’re making me cooler than I am🤭🤪
You should consider asking what the other tenants usually pay for electricity on a monthly basis. A lot of foreigners often get shocked at the prices. Like if you’ll be gone some weeks how much will you end up paying (esp w regards to common areas). At those prices, some will consider getting rent to own places but if you can afford it…go, go, go! Those are wonderful units!
Knox’s voice 😮 omg they grow so fast 😊😊😊
Great to know! Thanks so much for the advice. Someone else mentioned this too. So definitely going to talk to our realtor👍
I'm not an expert of condo but i prefer you guys to buy a house in an exclusive subdivision rather than paying monthly rental in condo.
A house would be nice too! I wish they had houses inside BGC🙌
@@MomDutyyou can check out forbes park its basically beside bgc
Have you seen prices at Dasma Village and Forbes Park? They are on another level. You can get great condo's in BGC for 50-75M. You would need 4x that to buy a house in a secure village, with a less central and non-walkable location.
Can't argue w the size of PPT. But, for me, the location of the 2 Galleries' are just so much better, especially if you like walking. Just take the elevator downstairs and you've got lots of choices of coffee shops etc.. To me, that's the main advantage of BGC - its pretty much the most walkable place in Metro Manila.
PPT is good if you're the type who likes driving or if you have a driver so you don't have to waste time parking if just running to High Street. It looks like you're really sold on the PPT view of the golf course and the Makati skyline, but, just take note, during summer months, west facing units with those kinds of windows can get really hot. And I mean, really hot.
I know you sort of balked at the 290K at PPT, but if you're willing to pay at around the 300K-350K range, try to see if your broker can find a Skycove Aqua unit at East Gallery Place. Its got its own pool and deck. Its like having condo amenities in a central location, but with the feel of a house with a small yard.
Also, any reason why you didn't look at The Suites at One BHS? Don't sleep on One Serendra, too. A lot of the units are old, but you can still get nice renovated ones at the East and West Tower. If you do look at units there, make sure the broker takes you around the gardens. That's really the main selling point of Serendra.
Wow! This is all super helpful! Thank you for the through message. You made so manny great points. Do you live in BGC by any chance? We also like PPT because it’s closer to Forbestown which we love. We’re there almost everyday:) But didn’t think about West facing windows. Hmmm. These windows are big and I can see how that grand room might get super hot. Our realtor told us about the Skycove unit but we tapped out at a lower price. 300k is way over what we want to spend. Plus the view is a must for us. The suites doesn’t have anything available. We need to move into a condo by 10/1 (that’s when our temporary condo lease ends). Oh the unit we saw at One Serendra was facing Market Market! We want a view of BGC. We’ve got lots of thinking to do and quickly.lol😂
Hello. #momduty. Your daughter should get Yorkshire Terrier, also known as a Yorkie. It is a playful, energetic, curious and if trained correctly, Yorkie is very child-friendly.
Do you guys really need that big space? I know you guys are for California and living in a big space before but you are here now in the Philippines especially in metro manila or BGC to be specific. My suggestion is get an lower rent around 100-150k pesos, of course you’ll sacrifice the space and the premium location but with the savings you can go out and travel more. In the long term maybe you need a smaller space because you guys are always out and about. But still you guys have the final decision and it’s your money. 😊
It's better to live in the province with island, fresh air healthy foods,beaches ,mountain view clear fresh air,
Well we’ve been traveling for 4 years full time and we are ready to settle down a bit. Now of course we’re still going to keep traveling but not live out of suitcase this time🤪It will be nice to have a space to call home in BGC. We’ll see how everything goes🙏🤞
We love going ti the beach for a nice getaway! Great place to unwind🙌🙌🙌
I wish you can comeback here in Cebu and Feature Tree house de valentine 😊
niceeee. realtor looks like he dressed for the beach or a walk in the park
He’s literally the best realtor! Such a hard worker! He literally responds within seconds to any of my messages. If anyone is looking for a realtor in BGC, make sure to look him up. I highly recommend him!
That's a lot of money! I know it's in the city. I rather get a detached house and at least my own privacy. Nice vlog guys. Keep safe
Thanks for watching Roland!!!👍👍👍
Detached houses in e.g. Dasma Village cost significantly more, and in a lot of cases, are much older. And you can't really walk to High Street, you'd need to drive all the time.
I not from Manila but I would think twice about moving to the metro due to the air quality!
Thank goodness there’s no public transportation allowed inside BGC🙏
Try also Alabang it is cheaper and also as nice as BGC or Ortigas it has also that kind of view along the white plains area.
We did visit Alabang and loved the community there. Beautiful homes. But it’s way too far from BGC. And right now our main focus is BGC.
@@MomDuty McKinley is developing a residential area i don't know if it cheaper Mike and Nelly has a condo there it has also a nice view of manila polo club.
Have Neve Campbell, you guys ever tried bringing your dog from California to the Philippines. I’ve brought my dog with me once. Your kids are natural at vlogging I swear…
Haha. Neve Campbell🤭Love her! We don’t have a dog in California. But Nia really wants one. She’s been begging for one since she was 6 years old. Plus she just loves animals and wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. Nelvine and I want to surprise her with a dog here in BGC but don’t even know where to start looking. I’ll have to do a community post and see if I can get some help from the locals🙏
@@MomDuty there’s a lot of breeders in the Philippines but I’m a big supporter of adopting a dog.
wow
❤️❤️❤️
Im was wondering, will the Lockwoods also rent a condo in bgc? Maybe the condos that uve seen will be useful for them.
I hope u get the unobstructed view with more furnitures so at least u dont have to spend that much on furnitures and appliances.
The wooden porcelain or ceramic tiles that u saw is very very easy to clean and very durable so almost no maintenance. 👍 ill wait for the next episode!! Woohhooo!!
Ohh and christmas decors are usually in malls.
We hope the Lockwoods will move here🤞Still trying to convince them. We are sharing all our condo hunting research with them. Hopefully that helps them🤞Yes we hope to get unobstructed views. Plus we have zero furniture🙈 Ahhh lots to think about. Can’t wait to see the Christmas decorations🎄👏
@@MomDuty awwww ur bff family. Woohhoo!! 👏
I can see resemblance between Knox and Marcus from HORI7ON (all filipino global group), in terms of their facial features and also their voice ( i guess dahil parehas silang nagbibinata na). And yeah, they’re both smart and talented! And yeah I am a fan of Knox now. ❤
Knox is very smart and business-minded just like his dad☺️I had to look up Marcus🤭Love it! Thank you for your sweet comment. Just read it to Knox.
@@MomDuty Thank you so much for noticing my comment! It made my day! 🙌✨ Wishing you and your beautiful family an abundance of blessings, joy, and exciting travels in the future. Can't wait to see all the amazing adventures you'll embark on together! Keep spreading positivity and creating wonderful memories. Stay awesome! 😊💫
So many choices but choose the highest floor with floor to ceiling walls
Haha. You and Nelvine are the same. He loves the highest floor and loves floor-to-ceiling windows🙌☺️
Check out Ayala Alabang village also where the upper class reside, you can rent a 3 bedroom house for around 150k+
We actually did visit Alabang last year but just to visit a friend. We didn’t go house hunting. It’s a BEAUTIFUL community though, even has schools! I was so impressed. We just love BGC so much and it’s very far from BGC. Maybe when we’re ready for a quieter life away from the city🙌
My advice to you friend .if you have 5 or 6 m you better buy instead always renting condo.there are lot of subdivision house and lot for sale like in bulacan,cavite this place are near to metro manila.
Yeah I definitely see us moving to a house. Just not this year. I want to take more time to visit the outskirts and see which neighborhood would suit us. The thought of having a house makes me so happy tho!😀
wow that rent price, ouch! especially for Philippines, worth it though, i jog past that building every morning.
Tell me about it. It’s pricey. Love that area near the golf course. Must be a nice run for ya👌
Nice gym....!!!!
Sooo nice right?
2:58 You could put 20% down payment and have that as your mortgage payment on a $1M loan amount. They you guys would own the property and enjoy the equity gains down the road.
Ok. Well this is great information. Thank you for the advice👌We have so much to look into. But we really want to live inBGC right now. We will see.
@@MomDuty You might as well buy something in BGC if you’re paying that much in rent. Lol
*A house is just an structural images only while home where family Comes together*
Yes! Exactly 💯
@@MomDuty waiting for the next video upload
Sept. 28th 8 PM Pacific Time - husband speaking age 80 - I feel looking at the condo's ( your home ) is like looking at a
new home in the U.S. You are going to buy something but which one ? For Me - the 52nd floor even if they gave it to me
I would not take it. With out stoping the elevator, how long is the trip up or down then figure a couple other folks who may
buzz first. How often will the elevator go back to the bottom before it gets to the top ? Next the PPTS 31st floor - those
condo's are as big as our house in Wash. State - except we have a 12k sq ft. lot, 16 plus feet between homes and green belt in back but a view of Puget Sound and lots of trees around us. One last comment, are you looking for a view or a home ? If you can afford the view by
all means take it, you want to be happy and not wish you had taken the one you really liked. Can't wait to see what you got. Maybe my
wife and I can visit some day. My wife's brother lives in Makati. He used to be VP of Norkis Trading when I first met him in 1979. 😀
It could be cheaper outside bgc, but bgc is a good area to live. So you would rent first, then maybe buy in the future?
We just love BGC as you can tell🤪lol. But you are right. I think we’d lease first just to settle down for a bit while we find more of a permanent home to purchase. That’s definitely a thought.
I myself would prefer a view as well if possible 360 on the 20th floor and above if going that much money.
That would be so awesome! Views make such a big difference🙌
I'm just wondering why are there no viewings in Essensa? Essensa, together with PPT, are the original two most sought after addresses in bgc.
We were supposed to go visit but then they told us there’s so much construction going on right now. So we skipped showings there.
Wow❤. But expensive for me. My budget is $1000.😅
Well it’s definitely good to have a budget!
From a poor man's perspective. 210 per month and 6months advance . Just buy a lot and build a house. Then again it's just my opinion
That’s a great idea too! Wish we could build a house in the middle of BGC🤭
Home is where the heart is... I hope you find what your family's "heart" truly desires. Can't wait to see the vlog's new level of excitement soaking in the feel and vibe of BGC. Enjoy!
It sure is! I always tell my family that. Home is not a physical thing, it’s wherever we are together. We have definitely learned that from traveling the world for 4 years. But so excited to have our safe place to create memories in.
Hello ... what a nice family. May we know who is Filipino and who is Latin (Hubby/Wifey)? BGC is an awesome place to live at. Enjoy!
I’m Mexican mixed. My husband is Balikbayan. He’s lived in California most of his life but is back in the motherland. Excited to start a new life here🫶🇵🇭👏
I hope you finish up with a video of what you actually rented and for how much. IF you pay 6 months in advance, are you worried about future repairs being done on time? Normally once a landlord receives their money in the PH, they will be slow to answer or repair and future problems. PPT has the highest SF of any condo for the price due to its age. Today 3 bedroom condos being built in BGC will be less than 1/2 of SF of PPT. I guess it all comes down to your preferred location. Woodland Hills, California is beautiful, but you have to be a multi millionaire to buy a home in that area today. Also, taxes are astronomical in LA county and are only going to continue to climb.
That’s interesting to think about. PPT is the only building we’ve come across that needs 6 months advance. I didn’t think about the slowness of any future repair. I know the condo has its own engineering Dept there. I’m learning that in all contracts here, you can make any requests that need to be taken care of before move in date. Oh and we haven’t found our condo yet. Will post a vlog on it once we sign a contract🤞
spend your money wisely here in the Philippines it is a big deal, 500k a month for a condo unit is truly nuts
Definitely looking at many options while here. Thanks for looking out for us👍
@@MomDuty you know i want the best house for your Fam with the great deals as possible
@@MomDuty if your budget is around that kind of huge amount if i were you i will look to any exclusive subdivisions around the Metro not only in BGC in particular. I know there's a lots to choose from to any of those well known realty Company in the country. select the best
Since the last video.... Knox be like (This is the gaming room) in every maid's room.. hahahaha. Also very cosiderate of her sister getting the bigger room since she's a girl...Good one Knox. Hope you guys find a place.. Gudluck!!!
Omg yes! As soon as we walked into a condo, Knox would go straight to the helper’s room🙈😂lol. We’d all say “there goes Knox again!” He’s a very sweet boy. Always protecting his sister🥰
I noticed that your kids are growing taller.
Wow you have a great memory! You’re right! My babies are growing🥹🫶🫶🫶
@@MomDuty Yes. I subscribed from Day 1 and watched 95% of your videos. Cheers.
This video is very enlightening. The Philippines is diffininetly not a cheap place to live. $5k for a 3 bedroom condo? I live in 4,500 square feet 4 bedroom house here in Houston,Texas with a home office, game room, home theater and backyard pool for only $2,500 a month mortgage. Not to mention access to hospitals here in Houston which has some of the best in the world. I'll stay here in Texas.
They limit their search within BGC which is the most expensive of all the cities in the Philippines. Price range would be much lower outside BGC.
@@lady_g406 I guess it's much cheaper to have a western lifestyle in cheaper cities in the west than to maintain a western lifestyle in the Philippines. These prices in BGC are like NYC and California prices.
Let me guess, the burbs?
@@WestVillage-vv3hg I like the bigger space in suburbia.
Thanks for sharing! We really do love BGC and love how family-friendly it is and most importantly SAFE🙏🇵🇭 At one point we did look at Texas, a beautiful neighborhood called The Woodlands near Houston. But it was bad timing because so many things were happening on the news. So we decided to just keep traveling.
Make sure that association fees, you don't get charged for electricity when your out of town, you end up paying for other unit's electricity, it happened to Mergin the vlogger, talk to him he end up paying too much electricity even when he was out of town
Really?! Oh no!😳Thanks for the heads up! Going to look him up and see when he explained that.
SINCE YOUR HUSBAND IS FILIPINO HE CAN APPLY FOR DUAL CITIZENSHIP SO YOU GUYS CAN BUY HOUSE AND LOT, IF YOURE A FOREIGNER YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE CONDO, TOWN HOUSE, NOT LOT
