    Hey Gio! I happen to come across your video, I would just love to say
    As a resident of Dipolog, you wake up and feel nothing but safety. Reasons why is because|:
    1. Petty crime - even if your camera gear is out, no ones gonna snatch it. Though you might get scammed by overpriced items (some do but not all)
    2. No Gun violence - the chances of having an active shooter is as close to none ( based on my observations)
    3. Cleanliness - public areas are kept clean - no matter where you are
    4. Simple city hustle - you know where to go, when to cross, how to get there, how to do stuff
    5. Peace - i can't describe it in detail but there's just something about casually exploring the city and never feeling like sh*ts gonna harm you
    OTHERS: living expenses / friendliness / hospitality / discipline / etc.

    I haven’t been to Dipolog for years now but I was born and raised there.I agree with you,it’s by far the cleanest city in the PH that I have been to as well and the difference was very noticeable to me as a kid when I started visiting other cities.

  • @TravellingMan20
    @TravellingMan20 2 роки тому +2

    It looks a really nice place to visit next trip. I think you will enjoy your visit to Iloilo, as it is very clean and modern in parts. It’s quite spread out, so your bike will be great to get around. Not as many expats there, and I saw very few age gap couples. It’s probably not the best for dating.

    @jackeisman8029 2 роки тому +1

    Lovely spot there Gio. It sounds to me that you had wished to hang around there a little longer, maybe another 3 or 4 days to explore. As they say in the Skittles Candy commercial…….. “stay and taste the rainbow”. Is there a need to cover all your destinations in this trip. What’s the rush Indiana Gio ?? The Philippines will still be there when you return from the US . ( My guess is the Philippines will taste even sweeter after your time in the US ), ‘ just sayin’. Ask your buddy Paul ( Asian Adventures ) if he misses the Pl. ( ha, ha…. ). Anyway it’s your adventure, not mine. But if it were, I’d slow it down a little to “taste the rainbow” a little more. We understand you have a timetable. And the only important one is the 36 month mark. Well whatever you do, enjoy the journey under blue skies and be safe. We all wish you the best and be well…..

    There are street sweepers around the city that help clean the streets. Also, throwing of any type of garbage, like cigarette butt's or any food wrapping is prohibited. You literally won't see any garbage strewn on the streets. Dipolog is under rated most probably since it is located in Mindanao and the general thinking that this island is not safe which is not true.

    How do you seem to find places with so few people? Everywhere I go it seems there are hundreds of people around. They live inches from each other. Every time I turn around I am tripping on people and falling in line for everything. I need to go explore more islands. Luzon and Cebu just have too many people.

      lol, filipinos by nature are extroverts, they love going out so it will be a hard time finding a place with few people in the Philippines nowadays especially in some parts we are now in Level-1 in Covid, Covid cases dropped, everyone is going out now.

    How did you find the security situation around Mindanao? My LDR Filipina is west of Dipolog, south of Liloy. A Filipina friend here in Canada has expressed concern about me going there as a foreigner, what are your thoughts on your experience?

      That town you mentioned bordered areas were decades ago significant rebel activity happened. Dipolog is 5 hours from that place and generally peaceful except for very rare spillover of kidnapping by Abu Sayaff. The city saw one kidnappin and its adjacent city of Dapitan also saw one. As you go westward from Dipolog, the security situation is also of particular concern.

      @@merickclare So I ended up going last September/October and actually found it to be very safe feeling. As a comparison I have travelled often to Paris where visible security is much higher. As soon as you start moving through the airport you see heavily armed police and soldiers moving in groups. The same as you travel through the city and to a lesser extent through the entire country. In western Mindanao the police/military presence was almost nonexistent. Overall I felt no issues with security as I travelled through the area.
