Good video Rod. I wouldn't live in the Philippines without a car. If nothing else, you can drive between cities and take local transportation from there. Take care Rod.
A word of warning looking for cars. If you need a used practical/economical car, many models were discontinued in the last year or two and their prices are skyrocketing. I have bought 4 Hyundai Accent Turbo Diesels with automatic, not CVT transmissions and the price they could be had has gone up P 100k in the last year. I also just bought a 2016 Kia Picanto 1.2L automatic and not CVT for P 300k with 43k km on the clock. I'm sure I could have got it much cheaper a year ago. You have to buy them before too many kilometers as lax maintenance becomes a problem.
I went into Plantation Bay and wanted to take some video, said I wanted to visit a restaurant also. The girl at the desk said they had strict policy about non-guests doing much and could be fined, so I just ate a bit and left.

An auto is a consideration Robert...but an expensive option.
Overload that's how Filipino does all the time.
Rod, she didn't call you a Monkey, did she? 😆😅🤣😂 Is MACTAN as crowded as everyone says it is? Take care and still hydrated.
Love the locals there, always willing to laugh and joke with people.
Ongoy ongoy, Rod. Who are they calling Ongoy? My beloved said it means a monkey.
LOL! Arlene says she was saying the Filipinos in the jeepney look like ungoy to the foreigner Bob.

Wow! That is quite shocking Robert. I wonder why they prices are so much higher now.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Many small economical cars are phased out Rod especially the ones with old fashioned automatic transmissions.
Hey Rod,I see your out and about😊 have a nice day friend.
Yes, spent much of the day on Mactan and have several videos coming Edwin.
