Wow! There must be a large influx of people to Malaybalay from other areas during the Kaamulan Festival. Very well captured. Thank you.
O yes. I heard there was 15000 people there one evening. Thank you.
malaybalay is so beautiful....been there witnessing kaamulan...nice vlog again sir...
Thank you. Kaamulan was such a cool and original event.
Enjoyed the video thanks Nathan.Very interesting. I actually plan to lease some fertile land and grow fruit and vegies there, I am a gardener and it is a great way to enjoy the later years in Malaybaly. Watermelon and pumpkin (squash ) I particularly enjoy growing ,along with tomatoes,heirloom varieties should do ok in that climate being cooler,(if available or allowed) cucumbers, chard, etc (called silver beet in NZ) Most produce I will give away of course. Just to help the people and enjoy gardening and keep fit. Also help out at animal shelters too. Keep up the great work, take care and God Bless mate👍😊
Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully, I'll be able to make a video in the next few months about the philanthropy organizations that foreigners can participate in here in malaybalay.
@@expatlifestyle2000 Your'e welcome, sounds intersesting, would be interesting to know about those programs, and a great idea👍👍
Looks like we have similar interests @bluesart7, growing veggies and rescue animals. Are you living there or plan to get there soon? Besides rarer tomatoes, chillies and capsicums(peppers) are of special interest to me. I wonder what varieties are available in the Philippines. I plan to be in Malaybalay in June if I can find reasonable priced budget accommodation.
@@Stonefeather53 Hi Stonefeather, tried replying to you a couple months ago, kept getting deleted by platform. Hope to see you sometime in future in Malaybaly, God Bless and take care, enjoy that gardening there, very fertile area as you know👍😊
Fantastic video. Love the plants section. I learned something
Thank you roger. Malaybalay is a great location for aspiring botanists.
You a couple cuties checking you out Nate!
I wasn't filming at the time but a whole bunch of pretty indigenous ladies asked to take pictures with me too.
Great to see the American lemon trees being sold there. Here its Meyer lemons mainly, most homes here have a lemon tree, many have feijoa trees too, me included. Will definately be getting a couple, love my straight up squeezed lemon juice👍
I am surprised I don't see more freshly squeezed juices for sale here like I did thailand. I probably just need to hunt more.
@@expatlifestyle2000 Maybe so, great the lemons are there though :)
Hey Nathan (Joe)haha nice to see Fiesta. Be a fiesta chaser here on your channel.. I know so many at different times of the year different barangys and provinces. Bato Southern Leyte coming on 17th this month. ( check the disco in the evenings). Good content for sure.
Thanks. I will definitely be going to a bunch this year. There are so many!!! Did you watch my sinadaya festival videos in roxas?
Americans are called “Joe” in the Philippines. You know GI Joe? Hehe
Bukidnon is awesome! 😊
It really is!
Cool!
Thanks.
That was awesome Sir😍
Thank you. It was awesome for me to experience and share with you.
I had heard about this festival. Cool footage.
Thank you so much.
Yes, Joe to indicate a foreigner, esp from the US has pretty much gone away but in Mindanao it is still done quite a bit because many foreigners do not venture that far south. I personally think it still has to do with people being advised in the past not to go there because it was said to be unsafe. I know it is much safer now but those rumors are still there. I hear people occasionally mention it still.
Fyi: It's much safer but from my conversations with police and locals, it's still not safe to wander about in the mountains or at night.
@@expatlifestyle2000 Yes there were a nine of the warned about group fought in the mountains around Malaybaly city on Christmas day. Saw it on Ph news footage somewhere.
@bluesart7 very close to home for my liking. I don't want around at night or go to "sinful" places. I'm on a slightly higher alert level here than I usually am in SE asia
You can get RC Cola all over the west coast.
Good to know. In glass bottles for 11 cents though?
Another great video Nate, personally I love a good food and music festival...... Looks like lots of fun ....... Did you put peanuts in your RC Cola ? 😂 That was a thing when I was a youngster.... I did a little research fot you
Local Walmart prices today, May 9th for live plants.... 2 ft red apple tree $73, mango tree in a 4 " pot about a foot tall $ 34, 12 " pomegranate $ 39 and 4 foot peach tree $ 90
Of course nursery prices are higher...
Keep the videos coming.....
Thanks. I will try the peanut and RC another time. I never heard of that before.
Dang, ide say it's much more economical to have a green thumb here in malaybalay. Thanks for sharing the prices. I always get so curious with the comparisons.
@@expatlifestyle2000
No problem Joe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was really awesome! Great vid!
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you.
Thanks Joe! Did the RC fizz?
O yea. It was that crisp taste I remembered from when I was a kid.
Got RC here in Wisconsin.
My friend told me yesterday it was still around in the states. Glass bottles though?
@@expatlifestyle2000 Dude, I can't even find Coka Cola in glass around here unless it's the overpriced stuff from Mexico, which DOES contain HFCS if you know how to read the ingredients label.
Another great video with good edits too.
Those folks sure know how to have fun.
"Mickey's" Lechon at 6:50. Yum.
"My name's Nathan, not Joe!" 😀😃😄
"I just call 'em José" 😆😅🤣
@stevenr1354 thanks Steve
Thanks Nate.. I too like farming. All seem like amazinly friendly people. In ur Malaybalay vids it to me appears the population to be more males than females.. and for the most part the females seem to carry a lil extra kilos compared to other places I've been. Is that true in ur opinion or just? Thx.. Stay safe
I would say the ratios depend on the locations. Outside the colleges, the ratios are far more females than males. In other parts of the city, I would say there are more men about as they are FAR more likely to have outside jobs like transportation drivers and manual labor.
As far as extra kilos, I would say it's comparable to the other parts of the philippines. They do have more indigenous peoples look about them here. Which appears, to me, a more roundish face and body.
Interesting observations, sir. I will attempt to be more observant and assess the differences.
@expatlifestyle2000 hope to run into u sometime..thanks.Stay safe 😉
