Hopefully within the next 6 months you get too 100k. I love the Philippines will be back there in 2025
I have been a loyal follower for at least 5 months now (old and new channel) and love the way you create your content a lot of info about local places and the way you interact with the philipinos. Some floggers admit they can only do a flog like once or twice a week because of all the work they need to create a single flog but with you it seems so easy. I'm sure it's just a matter of time you will get the 100k👍
Im sure you will get there mate you make great content and i llike how you shoot in 4k.. i recently upgraded my Dell monitor partly so i can enjoy podcasts/vloggers like yourself capturing the beauty of the world :)
Michael I first discovered Eastwood City when you did your first video there. It was actually life changing for me. I stayed there for 18 days in November and plan to make it my first place to move when I retire at the end of the year. I loved the place ! Thanks for the lead! One thing I really liked about Eastwood City is the restaurants were never so packed that you had to wait for a table. Thanks for the vid.
I can’t recall from the prior Eastwood video, did M&B show a grocery store? Saw the plaza public market in this one & im sure there are more Manila area public markets, but does Eastwood have a grocery store say in the mall like that Iloilo mall?
@@wintersojourn9356 There's 2 grocery stores. One is a Robinson's right across from the Mall.
@STEVENSCOTTFERGUSON. Ty for the prompt reply🙂. Of course, it wouldn’t be the well planned area it is without easy access to groceries. Congrats on ur retirement relocation🌇
no way this old a*ss man thinks travelling to the other side of the world is going to get him something lol
Thanks for the walking tour of Eastwood City. Love it! I rented a condo there at One Central Park for 3 months and loved living there because like you wrote, everything is within 15 minute walk. I was able to walk safely even past 12am and eat at restaurants. I found a great church there called Eastwood Christ Commission Fellowship where I made instant friends in my first visit.
I went back to the US in 2012 to reconcile with my husband after a 2 year separation. God made a way for us to be back together after being on the brink of divorce (no 3rd party involved) I hope to visit Eastwood City in July, this time with my husband. He became a Christ follower in 2021 so we now have a spiritual connection. If I have a choice, I'd buy or rent a condo there but he prefers less crowded places so we're looking at buying a home near Alabang. We plan on building a small vacation home near Vigan in 2026. You're welcome to stay in our future place in the Philippines when we move there in 2025. Take care Michael and God bless! :) Praying for God's best for you! May you get to know Jesus in the near future. John 3:16😊🙏
This part of the city is so well planned out! Not many developing countries invest in good welcoming architecture where you can walk by tons of restaurants. It is a happy mix of offices, residents and retail. Well done Philippines!!
they're building something like bgc or bigger than bgc somewhere in the provinces of tarlac & pampanga,i think it's not far from angeles city ..... they called it new clark (green) city, something like that ..... I'm not sure if they're already started building it .....
You definitely don’t want to live in New York
Amen to that. Oh well for others who’ve never been there, they are into the hype. It’s more for the young and super active.
your $5K is nothing in nyc ... 😂😅😂😅-😮😮😮😮😮😮
It's the most expensive city in the world.
no ty. Philippines is a third world country

Michael that food looked fantastic. I love exotic food and am always willing too try food that most people would not. Another great video. The city is so neat and clean.keep it up and bring us more good videos.have fun brother.
That’s an interesting store with all those collectibles
I lived in NYC in Astoria its the best city in the world nothing can match its energy i wish i could tour you around mike especially the Hudson yards and battery park city in Manhattan . My wife worked in one of the call centers and lived in eastwood city before we got married . I met her first in 2018. I would always book a condo or stay at the Richmond hotel . We would frequent the Denny's next to the hotel. She loves NYC now and I love Boracay .
It's been years for me, that area though is beautiful and totally uoscale
That looks like a very nice area. Your friends condo looks really nice with some great views. I noticed about 3 shops selling vintage items so not a good place for me to go lol. The food looked great. Would love to try that beer.
Wow! I like Eastwood. It is so clean and pretty.
Hi Michael. Glad to see you vlogging in Metro Manila. All the best.
Wow, I'm 8 minutes in and I'd never heard of Eastwood City before - that looks like a very nice place to live. Lipa City looked nice as well on your last video - I was watching that one before it transitioned into this one.
Congrats to your friends daughter on being at the Naval Academy! That's quite an accomplishment. Okay - back to your video. Thank you for showing us around.
Enjoy your day guys to our beautiful country Philippines. It's nice to look at and beautiful everywhere cheap and affordable. The food is delicious and affordable. So enjoy and explore more videos guys. Watching u from Cairo, Egypt originally from Davao City the Philippines.
10k VIEWS on 23k subs. That's amazing
Wow!!! a modern city now. How can I return back to the Philippines and retire. It seems very expensive now.
Really glad you expressed the "pet friendly" aspect of the area. Having dealt with the irresponsible pet owners in my experiences over the years, knowing the area is known for it's pet activities I can just avoid it! Thanks!
Reminds me of BGC
I have mixed feeling about these planned cities built by corporations. On one hand, it allows Filipinos to experience an environment that's clean, well organized with good infrastructure. On the other hand, it's like living in Disneyland. It's also at the exclusion of many Filipinos who don't have money and therefore can''t get the experience.
Bigger picture, this lets the government off the hook as far as providing good governance for all its citizens. Also, when corporations are so huge and powerful as to own whole communities, they'll never be held accountable for any misconducts.
All these thought float in my head too
That's your opinion
@@Siopaoko Exactly right. It’s my opinion. What’s your point genius?
This seems like the ideal place to retire to as a westerner.
Thanks for this lovely informative video 💙 Never been in Eastwood and that quaint area of Cubao.
I want to see you get a star on their walk of fame. 😀
I hope the Philippines don't go too far into modernization because it's a downfall if you start building all these cities with everything in it then people stop having children in small apartments then you end up with the problems like what China's facing right now with the labor shortage and all the children they thought they had well the one child policy turns out they over counted by hundreds of millions of people that should be working that don't even exist I hope they do it more like how the United States did it you have your big cities then your suburbs and then your rural areas and make sure that your population will continue to grow
Wow, quite a place! $3 to $5k is cheap compared to Dubai! Rent alone costs more here, lol! The area itself is on a comfort level of Dubai from what I can see...Nice! I still prefer the smaller provincial areas in The Philippines (this holds true no matter where I happen to be laying my hat down, actually)...Nice to visit one of these areas, and leave again. I can see that young people would like something like this though...
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
Very nice area by the Habanero KitchenBar, especially at night. Looked really nice. Thanks Michael....Jim
wow, nice city with all the amenities you would need. was wondering if living in eastwood would be better than in cebu IT park area. however, my condo budget is on 25k per month, fully furnished. is that possible there.
Cebu I think it's cheaper overall. The condo Air BNB is probably around 25k to be honest
New subscriber here in Cairo, Egypt originally from Davao
City the Philippines. 💖
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel
Now this is where i want to live in the PI...or on the beach. i love it!
i have been watching these PI videos for a couple of years and i have never seen this part of the PI. It is so modern and just like the West. i hate dark nights. i like to be able to walk around in different lights as it is cooler in the evenings to enjoy eating out in restaurants.
Unfortunately i can't afford to live here.
well,you can go to some provinces ,there's some towns,/cities that isn't touristy with white some beaches ..... like bantayan island in cebu province or there's a town in bohol,it's called anda, it's not touristy yet compare to panglao island,or tubigon town,cuz it's so close to cebu city,it's only one hour ride from small ferry,if you're tired of the small town vibe & you wanna explore big city .. anyway, I think you'll survive there with your $2K or your $3K,if you avoid big cities .....
Oh wow you're in Eastwood! It is beautiful there and so close to our condo. If we knew, we will invited you to stay in our condo. New subscriber here, we've been watching your vlogs everyday. Goodluck and enjoy more beautiful places in the philippines.
Thank you!
JCO doughnut,sometimes they give buy one take one so a lot if people wants to avail the promo..taste good..
Hey, I’m from Buffalo! Haha… NYC has seen better days. Plus you need lots of money to enjoy it.
So true and I have friends in Buffalo
Also watching from Buffalo
Bro i love Eastwood. I was there in September-October. That girl will realize NY isn't that great anymore. Maybe good for visiting not worth staying.
But Eastwood, I'd say good for long term stays. Looking forward to going back.
Dang, I just fell in love with Eastwood City but unfortunately I already made a commitment for a province in my girlfriend's town. Oh well, that does not mean I cannot visit in the future. I was born in New York and this is a close resemblance to it, only cleaner. Wow. This was one of your best vlogs. Just subscribed.
Thank you, province is fun too
I live near fort Erie Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Good work Mike, I’m enjoying your travel vlogs! Sure it’s not easy going through a divorce! But you keep a optimistic outlook on life, that Philippines life!
Hi. That was fun!
FYI the phrase is "magandang umaga/hapon/gabi." The "ang" at the end of "maganda" indicates an adjective.
I'm enjoying your vlogs. You're a good storyteller.
Thank you
This is a really cool place. Love it. Its nice.😎
I live in Eastwood when am in Manila . I love staying there cause it’s a small community that I don’t even need a car .
Michael thanks for the walking tour. What a well planned city. I still like the small city’s and close to the beach.
I really enjoyed this video. Full of color and warmth!
Good luck with your new UA-cam channel. I saw the split up video. Things happen. Stay positive!
Thank you Dan this is very appreciated. Staying positive is the only way to go
I saw a Wendy's there. If their hamburgers and spicy chicken sandwiches tasted the same, it would truly be heaven there haha.
There is basically ever major brand in this area not sure the taste, I did have Popeye's and it was great
My favorite place: Eastwood City Walk of Fame ❤
Excellent vlog. Wonderful place.
Stayed in a condo on the southern entrance road to Eastwood----magnificent condo with a balcony----5 minutes walk to the centre of Eastwood with a trike line and plenty of street food right at the entrance to Eastwood proper---so many worker flood out of there at night and eat cheap. Night life in Eastwood is fantastic----very colourful, very vibrant. Only thing wrong with Eastwood is trying to leave there at the heavy traffic times on EDSA, but you learn and adjust
They should fix the window is dangerous
I'm guessing because it's taped up that it has been ordered
Nice feature and I actually prefer Eastwood, Greenhills and Ortigas Center/Capitol Commons over BGC…(like many locals) as place to hang out (but not live there). BGC, i only go there once in a while… That Italian restaurant is good (it would not have lasted for so long if it isn’t) thought haven’t been there for ages. I also recommend Francesco’s for Italian food in Manila.
Thank you, craft beer... for making my drinking problem look like a quaint little hobby...
Mike I still prefer the Iloilo city ambience ❤😊😅
Great job love the vibe.
Living the Life in PH... In New York you have to work your butt off.
You could list so many things that says don't move to New York
Holy crap, is that a Kenny Rogers' Roasters?! @34:27 I thought they went out of business 30 years ago!
Plenty of them in Manila actually
@@ThatPhilippinesLife thats awesome! They were a flash in the pan in the States. Lasted maybe 2 or 3 years.
I bet those 2 work really hard
G'day mate how are you going next time you stick your camera out a window 30 floors up can you give us a bit of a warning 😂
Hahaha I freaked myself out in the edit too
Oh my … I watched as if I was experiencing my fear of heights. 😁😁 I always go high floors but I don’t go near the windows.😲
$3 to $4 thousand is the rent for a 1 or 2 bedroom in Toronto and yes, Canada is easier to get in now thanks to our PM 🙄. Great video Michael. Eastwood is a gem! Looking forward to Makati
3k to 4k rent is for 2 bedroom condo in newer downtown area. Shared accomodations runs around 800 a month. Craigslist dude. You're exaggerating.
To be fair I lived at square one in a very small studio condo and my rent was $2500 a month that was 4 years ago
From Iloilo _ Lipa _ Eastwood. Nice! By the way, I am also from Iloilo and previously staying in Lipa till last year!
New York city???? Lol lord... they know not what they ask. Love my country but it's a mess here ladies..... stay where you are!!
Very modern eastwood..next from BGC...soon in Pasay a lot of ongoing construction in aseana pasay..
Cubao, specifically Araneta Center, was actually among the first modern commercial shopping centers in Metro Manila. They even have one of the oldest malls in PH - Ali Mall (built in 1976) - named after Muhammad Ali because that's also where Araneta Coliseum is located. Araneta Coliseum (nicknamed "The Big Dome") is where "Thrilla in Manila" was held in 1975 (Ali vs. Frazier). Araneta Coliseum was also the largest dome in Asia from its opening in 1960 until 2001 when it was surpassed by the Ōita Stadium in Japan. (Thanks Wikipedia, lol.)
And next time, try go in 'Art in Island'. They have really awesome interactive art exhibitions there. :)
HELLO! MICHAEL I THINK THIS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR YOU THE ESATWOOD CITY
Some kind of food trip at the least known place in Cubao area, Very nice!
Good job Michael!
In north of Metro Manila,they have Eastwood,BGC,Makati Central Business district,Ortigas Center in the South we have Fil invest and Alabang 😅You should visit Muntinlupa too,they have Fil invest city,it's pretty organise and well planned.
Most Filipina’s that I met always wanna go to Switzerland 🇨🇭Because of the snow and mountains, my Filipina I was with ended up marrying a Swiss guy and has a hard time adjusting to the different culture!
That's the C5 corridor from Ortigas East to Eastwood to Circulo Verde.
Love it great video
I have been seeing that unit in the Eastwood community face book page. it's always for rent and for sale. That is Legrand 3 building if I'm not mistaken. I'm also living here in one Eastwood building which I'm also selling maybe you might be interested or you know someone who might be interested it's one bedroom 47 square meter
I wonder how many people had panic attacks when you put the camera outside the window lol.
I think they call it a loft when it has two levels.
A loft is generally when the second floor doesn't have a wall on one side and it is open to the downstairs? I think so where this has two seperate bedrooms and doors for privacy. Couldn't be wrong just how I perceived it
Fantastic 😊
Been wanting to eat there at Habanero, probably in April
Love your videos Mike! What camera are you using?
This is the new one I bought DJI Action 4
This is the new one I bought DJI Action 4
I think I just found "THE" place. Damn. Closing in on 25k, M. Great grind, and you seem relaxed too! PS: I meant for apartment, not for food shopping or restaurants. ;-)
Yun 2 Pinay says they wanna live in New York crap probably have no clue how bad there
They only know the New York they see in movies
The illegal migrants doing a lot of crimes also
Cool!
Wow philippines
Very odd construction for a condo. Small square footage. Cool to have windows that open. Wow, sticking the camera out the window caused a few butterflies. I was sold at Denny's. Love it. Wow that place is mad. I can never match the deals you get on Airbnb. That's a real concrete jungle. you're addicted to Magandang gabi. Great video but it's not for me
Nice
I live close to Poblacion and I'm not sure if I would like living in Eastwood.
Hey! I live near Buffalo, NY. Go Bills!
Go Bills! We can rephrase as a positive "Best Snow Storms in America"
I’m new to your channel and I appreciate your low-key approach. I’m curious about that “No Recording” sign on the store at 19:27 . Seems like there’s an awful lot of PI vloggers. Are the locals getting fed up with them?
The record store? (I saw it on editing) #1 in all my 2 years of vlogging I have.omly.seen 2 others out an about ever. #2 I don't get why free advertising is bad but Indo understand when you are selling illegal Nikes in a store you might not like the recording. Also banks you are not even allowed to text for fear you might take a photo here)
650 without a car wow 950:with incredible what part of Phil's is this near which provancevwas that
Nice job 👍🏼
Jeez. Nuttin but old people there😁. You should be employed on the Philippines Tourism board. Well done.
Tons of young people but they are working in the bpo buildings there without much time to wander around I'm guessing, also BPO might pay P35k to P50k for the first couple years so they probably choose to spend their time outside this area for the cheaper prices. I noticed the lines outside the area for jeepneys are very long
Actually thats all I saw were young folks. Happy young folks. Send a bunch to North America to spread some of their zest and enthusiasm👍.@@ThatPhilippinesLife
Nice 🙂
Those girls could be from Arreneow, you know, the rivals of Duh La Salle...
great place for someone who cant sleep at night
100% especially since the office building all operate at night, call centers for the west
Hey!!!! I live in Buffalo New York
bonne soirée bel endroit!!
Mike that girl in white is cute!!! Did you get her number? Why did you go away so fast?
They were cool and fun to talk to but I'm there with friends
Totally! That pretty girl in white top was definitely into Michael. Her body language and head tilt gives it away
i am shocked to see it is so modern.
Excellent!
Well, what a surprise! That device in the habanero Cafe is a still !
And another surprise! Right before the end of the video, off to the left I could see a Kenny Rogers roasters. They used to have those in the US, seriously delicious, wood-fired chicken.
They had one of the funniest catchphrases in the business, "It's the WOOD that makes it good!"
Where u from? London, Peterborough, Hamilton or Toronto
My woman is from Castillejos Zambales. It is beautiful there. You may wanna check it out.
One day for sure so many places to go, luckily plenty of time to make my way to them
Outside of the modern cities, tourist areas, and slums, everything is beautiful there (if you wear the proper sunglasses)
JCo serves donuts and coffee. They had a Leap Year Promo going on so long lines everywhere 🍩🍩
I found out after this video it was donuts! And the sale makes sense now...I don't know who can eat that many donuts tho!
😆 🤣 love their sweets!
Big Mac 'meal' is $4.43 in Eastwood City - and - only $3.85 - an hour S. of Manila. Much less than the US - where it's $10 -- $15 depending on what state. (?) - - - The NYC BOY MIKE - is paying $320 for a fully furnished studio in Eastwood --&-- spends - on average $1000 / mo. to live there !!! > NOT 3 TO 4 THOUSAND $ !!!!!!!! 🤔 Says he eats out about half the time too ? Obviously a very 'thrifty' soul ! 🤗
Bellini's is a legacy Italian Resto owned by an Italian Filipina couple.
Bro Call Guard, Traffic and Law Chief
I'd love for you to vlog while drinking 55% AC beer 😁
Challenge accepted haha 🤣🤣 no way
Can you please visit Roxas again
I'm going back for a few days shortly after I go back Iloilo city after this trip
