- Welcome to "That Philippines Life" - Completely Shocked By Dumaguete! Expected Different 🇵🇭 Philippines. I came to Dumaguete with so many misrepresentations through various comments, I heard its where expats go to get girls at the bars, Filipina girls walking down the streets to pick up guys. Dirty Streets, Horrible traffic! But I found a completely different experience this place is a very livable destination in the Philippines

Ive been watching vlogs from Duma for 4 years and you, Mike, are showing me places and giving commentary I’ve never seen before. Most of the expats in Duma have more “sit in one place info” channels. Thank you!
I lived in Duma/Valencia for 4 years. DO NOT sell your house back home! The PH "Paradise Syndrome" wears off after a few years and when you return, you coul;d be homeless!
What happens? Squatters?
Michael - great video. Interestingly, you showed more of Dumaguete than most if not all of the infamous Dramaguete vloggers show. By and large, they tend to sit around talking about things, interviewing each other and providing good info about getting settled in the Phils. And that is all good for sure. You though, just walking around, looking for interesting things - good stuff!! LOL.
Road to 100k Michael!! You go over and beyond what most expat vloggers do!!
Yes, the dramaguete bloggers are just old men who rant into the camera and show nothing of the city
This. I’ve watched a lot of CZcamsrs that live in that city (I’m sure we’re talking about the same ones lol) but I always leave the videos thinking “yea but what is the city actually like?? Besides the mall lol”
There are also asian foreign vloggers in Dumaguete too with good content. For example Dial Eleven and Hello Philippines, they're very underrated and should have more subscribers.
Pretty true.
Mike, I have started watching the ads all the way through to help your revenue. You are one of 3 channels that I let the ads run. I let them run for the Filipina Pea and Simple Living Alaska also. I appreciate creators that put a lot of work and love into their channels. Keep up the good work.
Another great video. Splitting out the interview keeps a good focus on Dumaguete, excellent idea. Top of Valencia looked super peaceful. Glad you are enjoying your visit
Because of his vlog I received my permanent resident. Last year by listening to his teaching on that. Thanks a million times 😅
Michael never change. Been watching your vlogs. Don't think I have ever left a comment. Love that you seemed to have your @#$ together. Maturity goes a long way..keeping it real always. Easy as you go. Hope your new life adventure is a success. Hello from Florida..originally from Cebu City..
Thank you I appreciate you commenting for the first time
Awesome vlog! I have seen plenty of vlogs about Dumaguete and by far, yours is the most interesting! Keep it up! Loving this!!
Beautiful presentation. Museum, waterfalls , sound of nature. ❤❤❤
Yesssss keep the videos going bro!! Good numbers on the last few videos and need to keep that momentum going.
What it sounds like is that you taught her to be financially independent and when she achieved that she no longer needed you and left you. Seen this happen multiple times sadly
I helped my wife to fully develop her career. I said at the beginning of our marriage her career was as important as mine. She succeeded and we're still together after 32 years.
But they are still living together. Just not as husband and wife.
We don't know the whole story. No judging. No blaming. As the saying goes it takes two to tango
You don't know their situation. This reminds me of a quote from the excellent movie Good Will Hunting;
"...You're an orphan right?
[Will nods]
Sean: You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist?"
@@robocop581 congratulation You're a statistical anomaly
Great video its beautiful
Good morning beautiful Philippines 🇵🇭 and to you young Man.. don't give up take care now...
Ever since the breakup video of you and Bianca was released, I thought I would have lost interest in your channel, but I was wrong. Keep positive and stay cool!
Thank you
He probably still needs to eat aka earn money
Nice video like the walk about feel
Nice video again mike, keep it up! More subscribers to come!
Great coverage of Duma. Showed more detail than I've ever seen before. Impressed!
Subscribed - just keep vlogging my friend -
despite you breaking up with bianca i will follow your two blogs still you seem so humble and i love seeing the different places you show us all take care michael
good morning Mike, I'm glad to see your channel is doing well. I know you will have great success
building a great channel. I think you will do great on your own. Have fun keep busy. ( South Florida Filipino )
Mike, I know you will make the 25,000 subcribers.and more ! excuse my spelling
Thank you!
Great vlog, Mike. Love your channel and your temperament, intelligence, and genuine goodness. Well done and God Bless🙏🏼
Welcome to the City of gentle people, enjoy your adventure
oh man! I used to be in Dumaguete as a young kid! It's nice seeing the boulevard area again
Me too, good memories of Duma. I remember my parent brought us on trips to Dumaguete for a family day out, going the Movie… @ the Park Theatre, but before that, we’ll have our lunch at the Oriental Panceteria at San Juan St., that’s before Chin Loong started. Then before going home we will get some merienda at La Cavitenia. Where those days gone?
Great video !, good information, I really like what your doing.
You goto interesting places. Good content
Enjoying your vlogs!
Great video. Better than all the local videos, cos you walk around and actually show what places are like and your personality is excellent for meeting people and explaining. I think you will really grow your channel and be very successful. Keep it up!
Nice to see the Dumaguete scenery
It’s a beautiful little town on the water
Very walkable
Great video
Hello Michael. Love your video about Dumaguete. Great contents you have in a short period of time. There are more to explore next time when you comeback. I can see you pick up more subscribers and lots of positive comments. Cheers buddy.
I have one more video to show of this area before I left and I'm already setting the dates to come back to explore just south of there and the nearby islands too.
Great video !! Keep up the good work!
Enjoying your content Amigo
You are very professional and likeable guy , your blogs are great and more so now your doing them solo, Congrats
Ayang place to only place to stay in dumagute fantastic swimming pool
Aloha from Hawaii! Excellent content...Subscribed! I've watched your videos before and like them because they're like a fun, informative, travel/relocation guide rolled into one video! Keep up the great work! 🏖
Love that pub you had dinner at...awesome place! Keep em coming mate.
You look like a real Pinoy now when riding those tricycles, enjoy your travel and be safe.
Looks like a nice place to visit
Good video!
Subscribed. I will be visiting Iloilo this next week. Good format and casual adventure video. I prefer the solo style better than the couple style videos.
Great video very informative
Great work Micheal.
Nice video.
lol, you saw so much in a single day…I applaud your energy. Saw you and Shay pass by me on the street and thought an another collaboration might be coming. Looking forward to the expanded interview:)
Great Video Brother!
Smart video. Thanks
Thank you for promoting Dumagaete Mike…
Thanks for showing all around . Im missed my family already seeing your video… also helps a lot.
I miss Dumaguete and soon I will be back again🙏thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. Now I want to go see Dumaguete 😍
Your much more interesting since you've gone on your own. Keep this format and I think you'll get more subscribers.
Wow that's beautiful🥰
Great video and my first one with Valencia in it !!!
🇨🇦This is your best video so far! I might be a bit biased as I'm in Vancouver but plan to move Dumaguete this year! Perhaps see you there if you come back! 🎉🎉🎉
I'll be back with more time and also island hope from here
Michael, thank you for continuing to show so many wonderful places there. I hope you will be able to purchase some land like you initially talked about.
Welcome to Dumaguete and Negros. Enjoy ur stay
Loving your new journey. Helpful info
You are doing it right Mike! Explore outside of Dumaguete like Valencia , Dauin, Siaton, Island of Siquijor etc...there are lots of beautiful beaches and good affordable foods you will enjoy and there are lots of waterfalls and hot springs to see also beautiful cool mountains.
I think Dauin would be the better place, younger expats there, and still very fast to get to Robinsons and so on..
And of course, if you want the real vacation vibes, there is Siquijor
One of the best videos I seen of Dumaguete and adjoining towns.
Just came across your channel - born and raised in Valencia living in the US for 30+ years (working as a CPA here). Looking forward to retiring there soon. The owner of Limmotakna is our cousin. Glad you enjoyed it there.
Interesting to see the war museum/ store AND the mountain waterfall. Thanks for a great tour .
Love Dumaguete! And we did visit Sijuijor at the same time…. Awesome 👏
Great to see a younger active guy there, as most vloggers there are older now and don't do much outside home etc...
Yes nice place 🙂
I had the same issue Seda Hotel in Cebu. 9k onsite. Made a call to Expedia and picked the same room up for under 6K I've had great success with Expedia... even when there's been a problem they've refunded me or resolved it.
I will tell my sister to drive around and show me Dumaguete and my father’s hometown Inalad siaton and sibulan. Which I miss it so much. I don’t go home that much but connecting with my family on fb and social media it helps a lot. I love were I’m was born is negros oriental. Someday I would retired after working for many yrs.
Take care bro
God is always guiding you through to your future life God bless you more 🙏
More Dumaguete videos please.Especially the night scene. More of the North Point area. Heard so much about it.
Nice info man! Lots of interesting stuff. Thanks
Awesome 😎
That's amazing!
Thank you Michael for showing us all around the place . So nice to see. Makes a change from the other guys that just sit there so i just joined your channel.
Greetings from Dublin Ireland
I am enjoying your videos.
Hi Mike, I just became a new subscriber of your channel.
Thank you for showing so much of Dumaguete especially at night.
Dumaguete at night looks a lot like Clearwater and Tampa Florida, U.S.A. that I visited a few years ago.
Thanks Mike for this great video of Dumaguete and Valencia,..two of my "FAVORITE" places in the Philippines.
Take care.
New subscriber here. Look forward to watching your videos
I liked the way you describe traffic flow and the behavior of drivers there in the Philippines. You are right on point and that is why there seems to be less vehicle accidents there i noticed as well.
Love your content learn history
Great video Good info. Thankyou 👍🇨🇦
I want to visit Dumaguete because of your vlog! Im a Filipina from Bicol region but havent explored much yet of Visayas Region.
Video quality is A 1
Thanks for sharing this . If ever you looking expat in day time , try to go to ground zero about noon time a lot of expat there. I'm thankful you visited my place. I hope you can meet some vlogers too here so you may know more about Dumaguete City. Stay safe of travel.
Mike, coming from Japan. I visited Dumaguete twice. Great city. Can’t wait to return to Dumaguete. Great video.
It takes a visitor to show us places in Dumaguete that local vloggers don’t think to show us.
Exactly!
Or they want to keep a few places secret for a while.
Good job Sir
When in Dumaguete The Go Hotel is the best budget hotel.. Clean, under $25.00 (cheaper if you use a hotel app), and next to the mall. Nice staff.
I was there 2 months ago. Dumaguete is my favorite city. I'm currently building a house about a 3 hour ride to the north in Mabinay. Lots of caves to explore out there. Enjoy your time there.
Digging your positive channel. Wife (from Cebu) and I expect to return next year for good. She's happy, been 40+ years except for short family visits. Good info.
Great video and love the whole attutude of " lets go have an adventure " - I love it. Just going where u want when u want. 1k peso for the room was ideal 👌 Great find compared to the 5k from the other one. Would love to see the waterfalls so hope u go back and make use of those massive flip flops lol. Safe travels xxx
26:32 best come on Sunday, because then you also can do the sunday market, maybe meeting some younger expats also. Dauin also has some younger ones
Great video Mike. Another fellow Canadian heading that way in April for a few weeks. My 1st trip. 😊
Enjoy your stay in Dumaguete
I'm Canadian too, Yes that diffidently looked like a hospital!
Great video Michael. Cannot wait to live in duma
Love the ship and park.
I'm from Zamboanguita It's a 27 km drive from dumaguete. Hey welcome to Negros Oriental. See yah around maybe meet you in person. I'm one of your subscribers. Cheers
Michael,
You are putting the videos, and I'm watching and enjoying them all!❤
I watch you to the land, houses and condo prices.
However, equally important to me are the travel destinations.
So, I want to say I appreciate your content and hope to possibly meet you in Iloilo city when I'm in town Feb 5 to 10.
You are on your way brother to 100K subs on thise channel within 6 months I think.
Take care
I should be there when you are so definitely hit me up
Hi there. Pat here (the TV journalist). Nice to have met you today at Whynot. Let's stay in touch. You said you would like to see my apartment block?
Thank you for such a great conversation this morning! I'm looking forward to my return and we can talk more, can't wait to see your penthouse too
Dumaguete and Siquijor are the best places to heal oneself. By the way you know that Every Man Has A Story vlogger. He's a good resource person around there .
Hes a toxic expat that is known for throwing vloggers under the bus.. Stay far away from mark thorton. From one canadian expat living in bacolod to another canadian expat, stay away 😊
I thought Sagada is the place for the soul. Good for those who want to decongest from the rigors of life.
It's great to see your vlog of my home town. I'm not actually from Duma, but I adopted Dumaguete as my home town, having spent many years living there as a student, felt like I'm part of Duma. Expats were already in the area long before dramaguete. Many Hispanic mestizo Filipinos too living there more in the outer towns not far from the city. Within the last decade or two increased numbers of expats coming in. It's not bad, its good... good for business. Your vlog is lovely presentation of Dumaguete despite the cons, no perfect place. Dumaguete is Dumaguete. You were presenting the place with positivity plus nice sense of humour. Im subbing you again in this new channel. But I don’t know if I ever continue with this channel again as we had a clash with yt. Keep on vlogging, though without Bianca, you’re a talented presenter!🎉 We can see your success!
Yes right, i been in Duma in October 2022 and met up with GIO at the Ground Zero. I think GIO shows more of the surrounding area than Paul old dog. Mike, i have been starting to watch your videos about for the last month. Very good info about most places you travel too. I live in Cabanatuan City.
Great seeing you traveling.. enjoying. I decided to stay away from Dumaguete due to the heavy expat population but have to say it's looking nice.
Absolutely. The expats living there are nut cases. Run! Come to Palawan
I have been here on and off for months and it is very simple. You can find expats if you want, and you will see very few if you don't want to. Same as Manila and Cebu. If you go to other places like CDO you will see very few expats. One really nice thing about here is that in 10 minutes on a motorbike you can be up in the cooler mountains which I really love. 20 minutes south and you are at amazing beaches. Dumaguete can be exactly what you want it to be, the varied geography gives you more options here than I have found elsewhere. It is all about what each person wants. Cam
@@free2roam674 Thanx for the great info..
The "heavy expat population" is grossly exagerated. Most of them live in neighboring towns and just come for shopping or the nightlife.
I signed up tonight ! You seem to have a fun channel !
Thank you so much
