Since we’ve been spending so much time in the Philippines AND since we’ve been using Manila as a hub for a lot of our Asian travels AND since our good friends from the MomDuty channel have moved back here and encouraged us to be their neighbors, we’ve decided to set up a second home base here in BGC. Since we’ll be alternating months between here and the US, we need to hunt for an apartment that’s not too big, not too pricey, and not too far from our besties. Let’s get started.

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. 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.

COLT PROBABLY LIKE ANOTHER TIM TEBOW THE WELL KNOWN NFL PLAYER WHO PLAY FOR NYORK JETS AND FLORIDA JAGUARS He’s BORN IN THE PHILIPPINES WITH His MISSIONARIES PARENTS IN MAKATI MEDICAL CENTER… Nice Videos Guys As Always ✌️✌️👍👍👍👍👍🙏👌💕
Whoah.. OMG! $2,600 is too much.. there are more affordable places in BGC. Rule of the thumb: NEVER work with a realtors in the Philippines! They always have a big chunk (under the table deals with the property management) for them to keep every month. They call it "Partehan"..
Your Apartment probably have costs you less that $2,000 or less if you have not chosen that route! Remember, in all places in the world, there will always be scammers. Realtors have to make money somehow and vloggers like you are their favorite victimes because you don't know the clauses in how the innards of their jobs!
So sad to hear this!
The use of 'May' and 'Please' by the kids when placing their order is just amazing! You guys are raising them well!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
As mentioned by other commenters. Both parents have raised their children well. I think the kids being exposed to travels and meeting various people eliminated discrimination from their minds, like in terms of race, gender, profession and social class. The kids also show positive mindset most of the time. The parents also did not forget to mention in this vlog about always protecting the family. It is really nice and fun to watch this family.
Thanks so much 😎 We do the best we know how and you’re 💯 about how universally loving these kids are. It’s so pure and inspiring even to us!
I’m moving to the Philippines too and planning to visit Indonesia and Singapore soon. Thailand nope not in my list but visiting South Korea next summer. Planning to sell my house and retiring in BGC.
That's so cool! Where are you living currently? We could very well be visiting S Korea at the same time... I think we're looking into spring or summer 👍🏼
We are so excited to create even more awesome memories with all of you. We totally love the opening of this video where you brought us back to the very first time we met. It's pretty funny how our kiddos have only seen each other in different countries and never in the USA. Our kids are growing up together, and it's seriously mind-blowing ❤️❤️We love you Lockwoods!
❤️We love the Ocampos❤️ I love the flashback too but doesn’t make me ball my eyes out like your video did 😭
Thanks for choosing our country as your second homebase...have fun and enjoy to my country...more fun in the Philippines ❤❤❤
Praying your safety and good health...be Safe always
BGC will be a good base for you guys. Nice Western lifestyle, good restaurants, amenities, parks, malls, coffee shops, lots of global Asian food brands like Din Tai Fung Tim Ho Wan, Key Coffee, Gram Pancakes, Marugame Udon etc. Plus you can take cheap flights to the paradise islands anytime you want and you're only 3 hours from Singapore, KL, Bangkok, Bali, Guam, Hong Kong etc. It will be a fun lifestyle for sure.
Yes!!! We can’t wait for all this to be at our fingertips 👏🏼🤩🤗
So you choose to live in Asia and still seek a "Nice Western lifestyle"? Right. 😂
Is Brooklyn going to be the next superstar BGC realtor? We can already picture it: "Million Pesos Listing" BGC edition. We totally love her to pieces! Amazing job, Brooklyn! And by the way, it's only been a few days, but we already miss you guys like crazy ❤️ Come back to us!
You put a big smile on Brooklyn’s face! We all can’t wait to get back to you 😘😘😘
Since you're set in the Philippines, I wonder if your kids will study here? There are a few schools of international caliber in bgc like Everest, international school manila, british school manila. @momduty you should consider staying at a house in McKinley hill which is beside a mall. For the same amount you are gonna pay for your condo why not a house
@@AlwaysBeChangingcheck out Serendra as they're a big community and has big grounds. Also Rockwell in Makati will fit you too its classy, attached to a mall and has plenty of nice restaurants
Mom duty hi
I was in the Philippines for 2 weeks, mainly inspired to check it out from your channel
Greetings from Thailand 😊
Hope you had as much fun here as we do! Where did you go?
@@AlwaysBeChanging cebu and manila 😊
Brooklyn is a smart girl ..... she'll be having a good career in her future life. So excited to see this family doing good in the Philippines.
Aww thanks! We can’t wait to see all the awesome things she does 🤩
You're living my dream. Want to move to the Philippines as well as we fell in love with it on our first visit. A pipe dream for now though.
First apartment was awesome btw. Looking forward to seeing how you adjust to the country.
Thanks! Hopefully that pipe dream can become reality for you soon.
i was there when you still have 50k subs, happy to see that everyone here is supporting your vlog and your family! keep going!
Thank you for sticking with us! We have more adventures to go 🤗
OMG, I'm so excited for you all! and hopefully I can meet you guys at the MeetUp in January! :)
We hope to meet you too!
You guys are the best for Philippines P.R !!! I highly will recommend my folks this channel!
loved it!!!!! ❤ hope you guys had fun here in the Philippines. God bless
Yes! Thank you!
I am so happy for you guys!!!! Good luck and enjoy life to the fullest.
Thank you so much 😊 You’re so kind 🙏
Sooo excited for you guys! I stayed in BGC closer to Uptown Mall a few years back and loved it!
That’s a Great area too!
I just subbed coming from MomDuty channel! I love this vlog!
Well now you’ll be seeing even more of both of our families on each other’s channels 🤗
Happy to see the Besties family reunited . I love the Bond you've created . More success to both Momduty and always be changing. May you have more happy moments together. Merry Christmas in advance.
Thank you! We have such a special friendship with them and can't believe it took us this long (and across the world) to find them 🥰
Another great episode 👏
Thank you! ❤️🤗
Yes! Always safety first. ♥️😘
Always!
So excited for the collaboration with Momduty!
Us too! They're our favorite people :)
Love this channel so much❤
Thank you!!!
Always Be Changing, always a delight to watch 😊
Thank you! 🥰🤗
Amazing friendship at BGC. Love it ❤
Yes 🥰 the absolute best of friends!
Absolutely amazing and wonderful ❤❤
Thank you so much!
Welcome to your second home.❤❤❤❤
Amazing friendship of two families!!! I feel the sincerity... =)
We're so fortunate to have found one another! A match made in heaven 🥰
BGC is fully developed today unlike before when I used to stay in Quezon city wayback in 2017. I am glad you guys are getting familiar with that place. Truly that place is very safe.
NO SKIPPING OF ADS FOR THE LOCKWOODS PLEASSSSSSEEEEEE!
Our next episode will actually be in Quezon province 🤗
@@AlwaysBeChanging awww. That's my province. Can't wait to see that. Quezon City was the place where I used to live.
i am so excited to see you guys staying in one of the Units there in BGC. the 1st condo is the best.
Maybe that one will still be available in a few months when we'd need to move in 🤗
I wish your friendships last forever, especially for the kids. ❤❤ love you guys.
Same! And we’re truly sure they will. When you know, you know 🥰
amazing family ❤
Thank you 😊
Welcome back fam!
Thank you!!
Keep watching ❤
Thank you for watching 🙏
I love watching your episodes content.. It's because you remind me my friends mine live in Colorado.
Oh fun! 🎉🤩
I got teary eyed! seeing your reactions when you meet MomDuty again haha so nice
The best! 🤗
Brooklyn is so smart and acts very mature and respectful ❤God bless your beautiful family 🙏♥️🌺
Thank you for seeing her that way 🙏🤗
I love both channels of the ocampos and the Lockwoods. I’m looking forward to see you guys get together more. I know exactly what you’re talking about the humidity in Manila because I’m here in Manila right now. Being from California I can really feel a big difference of hot weather being in Manila. May you find a perfect condo and stay happy always.
Thank you so much! We hope you stay cool while in Manila 🤗
Oh, I work just a few blocks from here. Been working in BGC for years now and I totally agree that it feels safe and you get a lot of things actually. It has recreation areas, lost of restaurants, parks, business offices, clinics and hospital. So, with a family that has the means to reside here, it's really a good choice.
Thanks! Since you’re so close, maybe we’ll get to see you at our meet and greet? abcmd.club
Excited for your family. My husband (a Dane) likes BGC as well so everytime we visit the country, we stay in BGC, since he can just roam around without worrying and everything we need is just a walking distance.
That’s what we love about it too!
the first unit looks nice and cozy it has an elegant vibe and a nice view of the city with spacious rooms
I think the first unit is everyone’s favorite 🤩

New subscriber here 🙋🏻♀️ I’ve been binging a lot of your videos and i soooo love the way you guys do your vlogs! Such a great idea to expose your kids to different cultures and people and at the same time showcasing these wondeful places. Wishing more power to your channel guys! And please do stay safe wherever your passion takes you 🙏🏻🥰
Wow 🤩 Thank you for watching us and appreciating us. So happy you found our channel 🤗
$2,600 - $2,800 apartment in the Philippines means you are rich. But yeah compared to the US like here in Wash. DC that is the price of an apartment , but actually that is cheaper because it is fully furnished. Anyway looking forward to your future videos, like you said earlier your going to Palawan 😊👏
Thanks 😊 yes, BGC is a premium here in PH but so much more affordable than US and so much safer.
But I Think it’s a little bit Expensive, They Should Check Makati I Think They Can Find A Little Cheaper in Makati And So Many Rich People’s and Elites Live in Makati….. Here in Los Angeles 1 Bedroom Condo or Apartment start of 2300 To 2900 A Months Defend in What Area Too ….. But I Think The LoCkwood is Suited Better in Makati Than BGC ✌️✌️✌️
Respect is big for us Filipinos. Love hearing the kids say Please. Keep it up. Love the channel fam!
Thank you! Will do!
Dearest Lockwoods,
for that budget and with your more outdoorsy ABC lifestyle, i can imagine your tempo place here in the PH to be a beachfront villa in Nasugbu Batangas.
Big enough - 6 bedrooms or more - to have MOMDUTY fam stay with you a month or two. :)
Be more flexible, a shorter lease term on a condo is better so you can get out more!
Of course, plan it with MomDuty. ❤❤❤
On that note, we can find MomDuty a farmhouse to stay for a week in the same area - walkable or"bikeable " to your beachfront stay.
Wait --- am being too obvious as a not-big-city kind of girl... but that's me with my 5 centavo sense 😅😅😅
@18:00 BROOKLYN!!! i love how you handled your "job" here gurl - if this is 1st time on real estate, you seem like a PRO already.
YOU ROCK !!!
Maybe share your scoring system via a YT short feature? :) 😊
That would be the dream 🤩 We’ll at least start with an apartment in BGC 😊 AND YES plan it with MomDuty 👍🏻
She was an absolute pro!!
love watching u guys…
🥰🫶 thank you!
The fact that these places have yaya quarter is awesommmmeeeee! I had zero idea that was a thing apartments had! All notes taken!
We were excited about that too! 🤩🫶
Love your family. I hope you stay here in Philippines. Always waiting your next upload to watch. Please do upload often. Stay safe always. Big Thumbs Up
Thank you so much for your warm support! 🥰
Happy, to see your family back to our promising land, the pearl of the orient seas. Enjoy!!!
Thank you 🙏🫶 we will!
Thanks for loving and and embracing my country Philippines so proud that a lot of foreigners love to live in the Philippines. I have a couple friends decided to retired back home and they love it. You guys take and enjoy the beauty of the city. Watching from Chicago ❤🇺🇸🇵🇭
We really love 🇵🇭🫶
@@AlwaysBeChanging you guys are fun to watch 😁I haven’t been home almost 6 yrs now and I was amazed by BGC it’s beautiful like everything is right there now. Have fun guys❤️
Happy watching you both family guys… more of Philippines episodes that you may give to us..😅😊 more power… ❤😊
By The way Brooklyn has an acrophobia?…😮😅 😊
Actually, it's Erin who suffers from acrophobia!
BGC is worth the price! Beautiful! LETS GOO TEAM!!!!!!
Let’s goooo! So excited about this next step for us.
Its very expensive for 2500. Thers a lot apartments range 1000-1500
I bet there will be a wide range of value to cost.
Wow I'm very happy your come back in the Philippines. Enjoy the long Christmas here. Hope you can visit Tagaytay ( Taal Volcano) eat bulalo, you can. . You can visit also Baguio City the cold climate and Sagada beautiful waterfalls and mountains
Yes. So much we can do and go to from BGC 👍🏻
I loved this ABC family 💞 I'm happy that you choose the Philippines 🇵🇭 as your second home. BGC has it all and ideal place to leave on❤that fits for your family. Clean, safely and the atmosphere is amazing 💞
We agree! Thank you so much for your support 🤗
Can't wait to see you guys here in ElNido!
I have so many suggestions for yall to visit here in ElNido
We just left El Nido! It was a 5-day visit, but please let us know where to visit when we're back next year! 🤗
Friendly suggestion: Always look for budget housing, food etc. People follow you if they can relate with you.
We appreciate that. We want to stay authentic to our experience though.
Will definitely tune in for your next adventure specially your upcoming safari trip 🦓🐘
Yay! We can’t wait to experience the safari too!
Welcome! Too Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you!
and now we get to see this wonderful friendship from another perspective. so happy to welcome you to your home away from home and where the heart is. 😊 and to have a spot you like and can afford is a blessing.
Thanks! It's such an exciting time for our family and we love that the Philippines are becoming a bigger part of it 👍🏼
Wow Brooklyn is so articulate and adorable.
🙏 thanks! We’re proud of her ❤️
Lots of condo choices in BGC but given your high end taste, you may try those from condo developers such as Federal Land, Ayalaland Premiere or Megaworld.
We haven’t come across those yet. We’ll look into them. Thanks!
Good luck on your condo hunting in the future. Meeting of the minds with the Ocampos at the Mind Museum. 👍🏼❤️
We love meeting there. It’s a special place for us 🥰
Omg! I live there nearby Mind Museum in Burgos circle .. we’re neighbors! Hope to see you around . Enjoy and stay safe kayo
I bet we will see you around. We already can’t wait to get back 🤗
Watching from Toronto Canada MABUHAY Enjoy in Philippines
Thanks for watching, eh! 🇨🇦🇵🇭🇺🇸
Welcome home!
Thank you! Feels so good to be in BGC
Good decision...definitely need to check some more options because as a filipina, if you ask me, there are a lot of places that offers modernity, good neighborhood, safe space for the kids while close to malls, shops and restaurants while it won't cost that much...I'd bet you that you can still find a rent for around at least $800-$1000 that comes with comfort...I hope you guys will find that perfect place...🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻💖
Thank you. We are considering everything 🫶 I know we’ll find the right place for us.
I like your family. Keep enjoying your stay in the Phls.
Mergim Vlogs is living in BGC, and he has very useful tips in looking for a condo. Please check the airconditioning units, if its inverter. Electricity price is crazy here (esp in BGC), so better have inverter appliances.I shifted to inverter appliances and we did save a lot.
Thanks for the tips! We’ll look into that.
Verve and Maridien Residences are one of our projects.. We are currently repainting that building Hope that I'm there that time, I'm a huge fan of yours ❤🎉
Thanks for being in fan! 🤗🤩 we really liked the buildings 👍🏻
With that price point, try checking Condo in Two Serendra. Much more family friendly with bigger living space and amenities. Maridien and Verve are sort of boxed into a block
We saw that area. So nice!
Brooklyn is so beautiful and very adorable ❤❤
Thank you 🥰
Really like the idea that it's a family decision. Brooklyn could be a good data analyst/statistician. Can't wait on your El Nido episodes.
We love that the kids are excited about it 😊 Our El Nido episodes are out. Hope you like them 🤩 ua-cam.com/video/6v04kR5QDOA/v-deo.htmlsi=i_rP3VEbHd-NG4Bs
Wow congratulations 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 🤗
im a new subs, love your blogs about the Phils😊
Welcome to our channel! 🤗
Okay, so I saw you guys on momduty channel. Welcome to the Philippines!
We’ll we have that in common… we both LOVE Mom Duty ❤️🥰🤗
Haba ng video pero ok lang nag enjoy Ako Ingat po kayo lage full support vlog enjoy Philippines all adds no skip 🙂❤️ god bless you always
Thanks for your support!
That is so great it’s like twinning Family
It really is! We ❤️them!
Just to let you know guys, ‘Yaya’ means nanny. Are you going to have a nanny for your kids or you mean a ‘MAID’? There’s a big difference between a YAYA and a MAID.
We will likely get a housekeeper eventually but the kids are old enough they don’t need a nanny.
Since you won’t be needing a nanny, don’t say Yaya’s quarter, better say ‘Maid’s Quarter’. Again, YAYA means NANNY, it’s not a housekeeper or maid. Just to let you know because you’re in the Philippines.
We will be neighbors too. Just because my office is in bgc 😅. So excited for you guys. See u around!
So cool! Hopefully we run into one another on the street 👍🏼
Oh WOW east meets west. I would love to see you guys in a few years to see how your doing. I'm here with my traditional Filipina asawa in Subic. We met online when she was 19. I'm 65 and we're starting a new family. We love the friendliness and acceptance here. Also we feel very safe too. Hope you enjoy!
I bet our paths will cross at some point!
Aside from the location at BGC, the apartments have some of the best amenities like the gym, pool, conference room etc. For $2,600 and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that price is a bargain. Here in NYC, or big cities in the states, $2,600 is a 1 or most 2 bedrooms not right smack in the heart of the city. The first apartment was the best, in terms of everything I believe the Lockwoods' would need.
The buildings are so great! Having a pool and a good gym is important to us. Plus, location is key. There’s no comparison, NY is way more expensive. But we get it, NY is amazing. BGC seems to be the right fit for us.
# 2 Don't for get that you are not the only residents - the higher up you are, the higher the $$$ and the longer the elevator
ride down could take. First place looked great.
👍🏻 we liked the first place the best too. Would rather be further down anyway because I (Erin) don’t like heights
Yes, the first one was def. a clear winner. I hope it (or a similar unit) is still available in January. :)
Btw, a 'yaya' is specifically someone who takes care of your kids. That's her main function. A maid, on the other hand, is a "katulong" in Tagalog, which literally means "helper". (And so they are also called "helper" in English.) However, the term "katulong" is now viewed as derogatory. I don't know why that is when the meaning of the word is actually very beautiful. But anyway, nowadays the term "kasam-bahay" is preferred, which means "house-mate." :)
Thanks for the distinction 😊
The first one was our favorite too.
You guys should absolutely eat at Toyo Eatery in Makati! It's one of Asia's 50 Best restaurants and I think you guys would really love to experience a really upscale Filipino cuisine experience. Another great place to try is Lampara in Poblacion, Makati. Love the content as always!
We tried to get into Toyo a few months back but couldn't at that time. We'll definitely have to take the Ocampos there after Christmas!
@@AlwaysBeChanging Awesome! Definitely check out Lampara as well. They're doing really good filipino food as well. The desserts are top tier.
Welcome to the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 🤗🤩🙏
It’s good to be back! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Since you guys are close together with Mom Duty. You can travel together with them and explore the rest of the Philippines and other countries. I think it would be so cool and fun.
We love traveling together. It’s especially fun for the kids!
@@AlwaysBeChanging Do they have a choice or are they simply told what to do and smile for the camera? You do know that there are laws against exploiting children on social media.
Give me A Break What Are You Talking About Troll 😈 Get out ….. @alowisCrombie
@@piacash5216 Your children belong in school not being paraded around so you can exploit them.

you should also consider how much the electricity bill. The type of appliances the condos have... it makes a huge difference!!
Excellent tip! 🙏🏼
I think the first and last one is best for me but actually no matter what your Choi anyway it’s your home with your family I hope you can get a nice place that easy for all of you guys and easy access to many places and safe at the same time just enjoy your travel guys hope one day I can go Manila too and visit BGC too someday 😊❤
Thank you so much 😊 we appreciate the support 🫶
Hello family! Couple of thoughts. Before making a commitment make sure to at least check out other options with or without a realtor. Also check out the other neighborhoods like Rockwell and Makati which offer the same security and community as BGC. For 150k, the price is fair but if you want a bargain, I’m sure you can find something lower.
150k makes sense for me if you’re staying 100% of the lease, but if you are going to be traveling a lot, might be better to look for other more cost efficient options.
Enjoy and good luck with condo shopping! ❤❤❤
Thanks for that articulate feedback ❤️ We have until Christmas to make a decision, so we'll definitely try to find something for minimal cost that still suits our needs. Your tips are fantastic!
OMG, YAAAS!
🎉👏🏼🤗
i see y’all here in forbeswood parklane, i’m the one in the front desk!! i greet you “hello” and ma’am is very kind she smile to me!! i was very shy to take picture with y’all, but i hope soon!! ❤️🔥
Oh, we wish we had taken that photo with you but maybe we will see you at our BGC meet and greet in early January? abcmd.club ❤️🤗
You may also consider to find a leased to own condo in BGC. It’s much economical
Could be a good idea maybe for the next lease. One year to see if BGC will work for us longer term is probably a nice test. 👍🏼
We were just there last week. Stayed at the Avant opposite the mcdo. We might be doing the same thing you are doing in a few years although we will be looking for a 6 month lease. Love that I can safely walk the streets of bgc alone at 2am. I see the condos you saw were all Ayala developments. That is a good place to start. The best condo developer in the phillipines.
Awesome! Where do you live currently?
@@AlwaysBeChanging Bermuda. Have you ever been there?
New subscriber here 3 days ago. I am liking your travel in Philippines as a family. Hope you find a not so pricey condo. Try to look around in Makati too.
Thanks! Welcome to our channel 🤗
Try condos in Makati (Salcedo or Legazpi Village). BGC is a bit bland and boring, if you'll explore Makati, you'll love it, have coffee is The Curator, food crawl in Poblacion. Or even find a condo in Poblacion, 3 bed rooms for 50-60k, 140k/mo in BGC is too much.
Safety in Makati isn’t so great and it’s not walkable especially at night. But yeah 150K for the units shown is a bit too much even for BGC standards.
I absolutely feel the same about BGC. It felt soulless and artificial that I can't really describe it as much lol I stayed there for 2 months and found Makati much more "homey" and livable imho
@@alistairt7544 to each his own. I have a condo in Buendia that I rent out. Makati if not for Rockwell and Ayala doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t feel safe walking at night, most areas even in the main CBD aren’t well lit at all. Lots of potholes, random snatching, if that’s “soul” and “livable” to you I guess be my guest 🤣🤣
There are some safe parts in Makati but remember they got young kids so got to be more conscious about exposing them to homeless and streetwalkers in Burgos. I remember security guys chasing away homeless folks with mental issues trying to get in BGC in the middle of the night they got that going for them at least
Sounds like a bargain! We’ve stayed in makati and loved it 👍🏼
Looks like a great place! Always fun and convenient to live in the ever-growing BGC.
Yes indeed! We love this area
Both beautiful families 👍💯♥️God bless us all🙏🇵🇭🇺🇸🙏
Thank you ☺️
I’m a fil-am from California looking to move to the Philippines/ or at least invest in property to create a base there to get to know my culture more & evidently be closer to my parents when they retire (which is soon) and watching your guys channel makes me so happy and confident that it’s possible - it’s the best of both worlds, home away from home.
First option too 👍🏽
Thanks for the confirmation! 👍🏼
We Filipinose love team ABC
Yay 👏🏼🎉 thank you 🙏
