My retirement place is Iloilo.I am Iloilo ..The government is currently constructing more Esplanade, state of the art Public market and they’re trying to remove the hanging wires in the city ..Hoping next year some of these improvements will be more visible to ilonggos.
Just came from Iloilo City for a 7-day vacation. Should I decide to relocate from my current residential location (i.e., Lucena City in Quezon Province), I sure would go to Iloilo without reservation. 😀😃
I really enjoy Your videos! You always have such a great outlook on life and seem to always make the best of Your day! Love all the beautiful places You share with us.All the beautiful ladies are amazing! Scotty Boy would be jealous. lol Keep up all the great work and stay safe and healthy out there!👍
A massive thank you for your kind comment. Its a beautiful world with the right outlook. I imagine scotty get the looks even more being like 7 foot tall. I hope to continue making videos you enjoy.
I grew up in the City Proper area. We used to ride bikes around that place at night. And even swim along the port area and watch the sunset. It wasn't busy way back then. The city has changed so much in the past couple of years.
Been 8 years since I went home to Iloilo. I know every corner of this city. I love how the government and the people maintained the cleanliness of the city. Wow ! you went all the way to Fort San Pedro. It’s overlooking Guimaras. Do you know how many universities and Iloilo has from downtown to Jaro? I’m counting 10 but it’s probably more. You vlog about how many universities we have. A lot! Thank you for your nice vlog.
Thank you. There are a ton of schools there. In fact I met a doctor today in Mindanao that studied in iloilo. I agree iloilo is very clean and well maintained. 👌
And also another beautiful museum nearby, 30meters away, at the Sunburst Park - it's the Museum of Philippine Maritime History, at the newly restored Aduana bldg. Both the Museum of Philippine Economic History and the Museum of Philippine Maritime History are surrounded by parks and Spanish plazas. A third museum is the Iloilo City Gallery at the ground floor of the Iloilo City Hall.
Hope your channel takes off. You actually provide good information and have respect for cultures. So many of these channels are the opposite of that and women especially are aware. They are not stupid. They're aware that a minority of foreigners are there to exploit them in one way or another when in reality most men are just looking for companionship and to raise someone up because men are natural providers.
City Proper is the original Iloilo. That's why every District have their own Plaza because they were seperate Municipality. Iloilo City still expanding maybe Municipal of Pavia will be the next Iloilo
There was a man sitting next to me on the little platform thing. He was very generous to offer it to me. The driver was talkative and kind too. It was definitely a VIP experience.
Just guimaras so far. I will be visiting Roxas for a festival in a few weeks. I have to take public transportation, so my options are limited compared to those who have personal transportation.
I'm a kinda in-between guy.... I like convenience and like to be near a midsized cities but I don't want to live in the city.. I'm not a mall or coffee shop guy so I don't care about that much at all, maybe once a week to meet up for coffee, but I do like to walk, work on projects, hit the gym a few times a week and explore, especially offbeat places to eat and dive bars..... I love to take in local events, live music and learn about the culture of the area I'm in so a socially active place ...... I definitely don't want to live in a small village, I'll get bored pretty quickly and find somewhere else to go or trouble to get in .... Access to water and a dock/port nearby to do day or overnight trips is important.... I know TLDR ...... 😂
Definitely iloilo city. It has numerous well-maintained public parks and beautiful river esplanades that you can enjoy. It is the bike capital of the Philippines and people love their parks and clean and healthy living in iloilo. It has numerous big malls and lots of cafes but they have lots of museums as well.
No. A kid mentioned he was hungry at the old port so I ended up buying about 8 of them food. No begging though and I absolutely didn't feel pressured to do so.

It's a great retirement spot. Iloilo will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️
@@expatlifestyle2000 That’s nice to hear . Balik balik lang sa Iloilo

Nice. It really is a delightful city with a small town friendly attitude.
Very enjoyable, and informative. Nice to see a clean city for a change 👍
Thank you. The lack of rubbish really does make a world of difference.
I appreciate your videography and commentary. You're just like a friend I'm walking along with. Very helpful.
I appreciate you. Thanks for your kind words.
Thanks Nate ........have been watching since Kevin was with you in Iloilo . You must have walked a few miles today!
Thanks for watching. My legs were definitely sore the next day, but that old port view was worth it.
Cool video, Nate 😎👍 I'm there now in city proper getting ready for my next flight. There are so many places to see here!
Thank you. So true. I feel like I only scratched the surface during the several months I was in iloilo.
Loved walking along the river at 9:47. I went to Iloilo last time i was in the PI, in July - August 2023
This has quickly became a top city for me in my wanderings.
Hello Nate, thanks for a great 👍 video of Iloilo proper.

@beaharbour4435 It seems like the growth is happening faster than any of the locals thought possible. Truelly a beautiful and growing city.
Wow😍 nice Nathan
Thanks. ❤️
oh my,i miss my hometown iloilo.i might be going home next year..
It will be here waiting for you.
Editing looks good, mate. Enjoyed.
Much appreciated. I hope to get a little better with each video.

Watchingfrm Alberta 🇨🇦.... Thanks for showcasing my home city,,,keep it up 😊
My pleasure. Thank you for the kind comment.
WOW! Good video, It almost looks like you were driving the bus 😀 have you been back to S&R?
Thank you. I ordered online and was actually thinking about getting a pizza tonight. 😆
welcome to my home town. We're sweet and very friendly. Don't be afraid to approach anyone.
Thank you. It's been my experience that everyone is very welcoming.
The seaside that is the last project of the city that is you stand and all the way to oton
It was a breathtaking view and the young people seem to love it.
I was born and raised in Iloilo province and studied in Iloilo City.
So you would live there. I would too.
Beautiful there
It really is. I always recommend it to people that don't want the mega-metropolis or providential life. A really wonderful city.
Did the exact same thing in Sep. But took the reg jeepney.
Smart man. It is a great way to see parts of a city you would never experience normally.
I proud of my province
You should be. It's amazing here.
There is a museum beside the city hall. Museum of economic history.
I'll have to go back. Economics is one of my preferred studies.
And also another beautiful museum nearby, 30meters away, at the Sunburst Park - it's the Museum of Philippine Maritime History, at the newly restored Aduana bldg. Both the Museum of Philippine Economic History and the Museum of Philippine Maritime History are surrounded by parks and Spanish plazas. A third museum is the Iloilo City Gallery at the ground floor of the Iloilo City Hall.
@@armandosune3839 unfortunately the one was closed. I need to be a day walker and walk among the sun's rays.
Their is a museum in Festive Walk .
Maybe you can show the walking and cycling by the ocean 🌊
I show some of it in my walking video and next week I'll have a video about guimaras. 😀

Thanks for the kind words. I'm attempting to create a kind and gentle life for myself out here. By exuding loving kindness, I hope I can find it.
Wow you explore the city proper goes to plaza libertad to port San Pedro welcome to Iloilo city

Nice😊
I'm glad you liked it.

I enjoy it very much. Thank you for welcoming me.
I liked the slo-mo action 🙂👍🏽
I wish I could have slowed down time in the moment so I just did It in the video. 🤣 thanks, JC.
Also, Armando said in a comment that Santa Barbara golf and country club was the cats pajamas around here.
@@expatlifestyle2000 schaweet looking it up now
@@expatlifestyle2000 what did you mean by "cats pajamas "?
@armandosune3839 it's an expression to mean something is good. 😀
That beautifull lady put in slomo😊😊😊
I couldn't help but prolong the vision of loveliness.
nice 👍
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.
Is there an improper city?:) local here. Enjoy your stay

Front seat for VIP. Cool! 😊

Very Nice!
Thank you for your kind words.
I would live in Ililo but not in the sanitized western part. In the cheap poorer areas.
Thanks for sharing. I cost of living is much cheaper that way.
welcome to iloilo city
Thank you. I enjoy it here very much.
@@expatlifestyle2000 dont forget to try PANCIT MOLO (molo area) Siopao (robertos)
I just took a screenshot. I'll be sure to see it when I'm in those areas.
and also try Popoys Batchoy or Decos (lapaz area)...
@@jasonsanjuan ok. Thank you.
Proud of my City of love Iloilo
You should be. It's an amazing place. 👏 👏 👏
@@expatlifestyle2000 yes you visit island there
Just guimaras so far. I will be visiting Roxas for a festival in a few weeks. I have to take public transportation, so my options are limited compared to those who have personal transportation.
@@expatlifestyle2000 Guimaras is Nice also Roxas is is capital of seafood you enjoy that for sure
I'm really looking forward to the Roxas festival and seafood.

Dude, You misunderstood it! They're giving you the looks not because they think you're handsome. You have a dollar sign on your forehead! LOL!
Are these not the same thing? 😆
@@expatlifestyle2000 After thinking about it the second time.... Yeah, same thing! LOL!
13:37 my Ilonggo ex and I used to date here long long time ago lol
A Great date location. I must have sat there staring at the ocean and sunset for an hour. It's like a painting.
@@expatlifestyle2000 yeeahhh we sat there from 5pm til 7pm and eating some peanuts the kids that are selling there it's really nice in there 😄
Even the people there were very friendly. I must have had pleasent conversations with 4 or 5 strangers while walking about that area.
Hello 👋
Hello 👋
Do you see a street kids begging?
No. A kid mentioned he was hungry at the old port so I ended up buying about 8 of them food. No begging though and I absolutely didn't feel pressured to do so.
It’s way cleaner than your place no zombies in the streets there 😅😅😅
What place is "your place?" My hometown has high IQ and friendly farmers of German decent. 😀 they throw their trash in cans and regularly sanitize surfaces.
@@expatlifestyle2000 you said you were from the USA
Ahhh i see. You are referring to the areas in some big cities the news likes to promote. Most places in the USA are awesome. Just stay away from the giant cities, where the dirtbags like to live.
i wanna live with you joke! hhahahaha
my apartment is to small but the building has vacancies. 😄
