I love Davao City, spent 3 weeks there a year ago April. Your info is very helpful. Cost of living outside city proper is much less. I plan to retire there later this year. Hope the travel restrictions will be ok by then. Thanks again
@@joyyangco3211 Garry is great for fun things to do in town and about. This vlogger gets to the nuts and bolts for researching cost of living exceptionally well.
WoW! Talk about doing a 180. Now in our retirement years, comfort and convenience is exactly what we are striving for. We must have viewed this video 5 times, each time learning a little more about Davao. Brother just moved to the Philippines. Let it suffice to say he's having his problems as his living conditions simply is not what we are looking for. And after viewing other videos explaining the cost of living in various areas, Davao looks good enough to pay a visit for a month or so. Excellent job on this video, it has really opened our eyes that were wide shut in the past.
Davao is my place. That's it. I love it. The cost of living. The liveliness of it all and comfortability. You can't beat it. My two year plan is starting now
Its good to know the cost of living in Davao, Philippines. Knowing the cost of living has skyrocketed in the US, Philippines is something to think about.
Excellent job with all the details. I was born and raised in Davao City, but currently I am living in California, USA. I am still considering retiring there someday as I find living there more relaxing. Considering you have almost all the wonderful options to go to, such as the mountains and beaches. I am always inlove with my home town. God bless you sir.
Your content helps to keep my dream of living abroad alive. I can't wait for travel to fully resume again. Thanks for the entertaining and informative videos. Keep em comin!!!
I lived in Sultan Kudarat province. Your information is so accurate and true. Davao City is one of the safest city in the Philippines. You will notice that when you go outside at night, you're safe and you won't see any trash in a street.
I've always wanted a dream 2-storey residential-spakol township in Davao. The food's cheap and delicious, and the surrounding nature does give a peace of mind.
Thanks for the informative and inspirational video! It increased my excitement to move to Davao City and explore the rest of Philippines, too. Looking forward to seeing all the sights and meeting all the wonderful people living there, including both locals and expats... thanks again!
Erik Brodnax, Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I think you will like Davao. I have several other videos about Davao with neighborhood tours.
I have a close friendship with someone who lives and works in Davao city. This is the first time I can see it close up. It's beautiful there! I would love to know more !!
can't wait to go back home in my hometown davao city after this pandemic! miss all the local food and local restaurants! thanks for this info! hope we can buy property in Davao someday!
Davao is the safest places in philippines👌👌👌 people are overwhelming and kindly friendly even you are new in their place. I live in manila but i would like to live there in davao. Good place,good people and what can i say!!! ALL IS GOOD 😇😇😇😇 By the way INIHAW OR GRILLED are everywhere 🥰🥰🥰🥰 #davaosafe #davaoisthebest #davaoisdiscipline
Interesting video.. very informative.. haven’t been that area but I love to visit there one day… doing a roadside trip from Cagayan to Dapitan.. Mindanao is interesting island to explore to.. I like Bukidnon, the food basket of Mindanao. Hope you can explore Bukidnon ❤❤
CESS Travel Vlogs, Thanks for sharing your information. You have visited so many amazing places. You are always welcome to share. Link to CESS Travels Vlogs: ua-cam.com/channels/Xo_rPplct2hsbsIV4DsoEQ.html
Davao is what it is because of long-term effective governance. It can be a little over the top sometimes, but you can easily see the alternative in other cities of the Philippines. The difference is discipline. I think Davao City is still the only place in the Philippines where you can call 911 in an emergency. And you won't be charged for fire, ambulance or rescue. It's totally free.
@@vonderloo3184 Yes, anyone living outside Mindanao talks about the death squads. I've been visiting Davao City since 1996, on average about once per year. I even met then-Mayor Duterte. It was perhaps my first visit, and in those days he was always accompanied by several bodyguards. Not any more of course. These days I feel as safe in Mindanao as I do in Sydney where I live. Davao was the first Filipino city to ban fireworks entirely, and smoking in public places. Streets are spotless and roads are busy but drivers follow the rules. Taxi drivers are amazing. They are reluctant to accept tips. Can't wait to get back. Maybe January. Cheers, Greg.
Thank you so much for responding. I have not gone back to Davao for quite some time as well. Can u showcase the following: 1. Lanang Damosa IT 2. SM Lanang and Davao Park District in late 2020 3. Abreeza Business district 4. Pryce Business Park and Victoria Plaza 5. GMall of Davao 6. Matina IT Park 7. Roxas Night Market area w/ Ateneo, Marco Polo, Vivaldi Tower and Avida towers as backdrop. In such manner, u can showcase in ur video that Davao City is not a just a large sub urban City, but a booming metropolis as well. Again, thank you!
One other important issue is health care costs for expats. Minor ailments are OK; just go to Davao Doctors Hospital Outpatient Clinic and it won't cost much. Major ailments like heart bypass, cancer, COVID-19 and elective surgery like joint replacement can be very expensive if you're used to the sort of coverage available in Australia and Canada. If you're coming from the US and don't have health insurance there, then Davao will be much cheaper by comparison.
I have extended family in Davao my brother's wife's family live there. So I would have somewhere to stay temporarily I could stay full time but their way of living would be too basic for me. I want to retire in some comfort. My budget will be around $2000 pcm I know I can live very well on that sort of money. Enjoyed your video. Good information and well presented, M
keep in mind if you like American food, etc you may be spending two and 3 times or a lil more than normal prices at grocery stores for the items you like. gyms in the city are 50-60 dollars a month.
Shared this video on my "community information" website. Hope you don't mind. Make sure that when you visit Davao City, check out one of my favorite restaurants... Lachi's, and have their "famous BBQ ribs". But, go early or sometime after the lunch rush crowd. It's a small restaurant and can get quite busy during rush hours.
Actually davao City is 2nd of the safest city in ASEAN and fruit capital of the Philippines and one of cleanest city in the Philippines why because the citizens are scared of their Mayor. Mayor of the davao is actually president duterte and after he became president he's daughter became the Mayor
Perhaps mention that for westerners etc Samal Island and that Southern general area may not be / is not considered "safe" to travel to and around maybe?
Born and raised in Davao City and I can definitely say this vlogger has done his homework.
