I am from Cebu, but i agree, groceries, food selection, shopping, fashion, nightlife, redlight, clubs, international concerts, & infrastructure would be Manila, my family always did vacations in Manila when i was a kid.
Salamat my
Friend. I like both but Manila is the king city of the Phil’s.
I really owe you one bro. Hats off, you truly discovered a gem.
Thank you
You make good points! I'm right in the middle, 51 but in pretty good shape where people all tell me they thought I was early - mid 40s. I've spent time in both Manila and Cebu and (for now) would lean Cebu as a landing spot if some day I choose Philippines to live. I admit though I did not spend too much time in Manila will be back there in October to give it another chance. I also want to visit Davao as a possible landing spot.
Perfect brother 🫡
Recently emailed you. I've lived in Cebu City, Davao City, Dumaguete, and now Manila Tivoli Garden Residences and I'm finding dating in Manila brutal like you said.
I'm not moving from Tivoli Garden Residences now but living in BGC would definitely benefit me. My life in the Philippines is always six months.
Manila dating has been brutal but being here is still better than the United States. I also believe that I'm just hitting a bad luck streak.
Ok nice!
If you have ‘Frame / Stature / Presence ‘ you want the city that’s shaping the future…
If you have no concept of Frame, you’re wounded, tired, go someplace quiet… it’s beats the trailer park in Florida 🤣
Lol
Great points! I like it!
Thx
Would never even consider manila,concrete jungle,bad air,dangerous as hell!!
lol. Dangerous??? 😂😂😂😂
I’ll have to visit Manila for months
👍🏻
I like both, for different reasons. Hang out in one until I get sick of it, then go to the other for a while. Easy to go back and forth
True 🫡
Excellence Show and narration.
Thank you
Thanks for the insights, looks like manila will be the right choice for me 🤝
Check them both out
@@JasperinthePhilippines I definitely will do that, but I'm 95% sure that BGC will be my first anchor point ✌️
Age 62. 45 Days from Civil Service retirement/ 90 Days from Cebu City. I'm doing a Six Month Trial of the Philippines. I'll base myself in IT Park or Business Park & visit from there. I like that Business Park & IT Park are a half hour walk apart. I like that either Development puts my Daily wants within a 20 Minute walk of the Condos... Government Offices with a Half Hour Taxi Ride [at the most!]. I'll see what I learn on the Ground...

@@dsrrellgriffith1161 I've walk about Seven miles a day as part of my job... Either I walk outside in the Philippines or use a Treadmill to get my steps in... Or maybe Mall Walk.
It always depends on what you prefer some people like big cities some like smaller cities and closer to nature.
Ok
Manila way better than cebu for sure. I agree with you😊
Facts Rodelo 🎯
I've not been to Cebu for 15 years, but was in Manila a year ago. I think there's more undesirables in certain areas of Manila than Cebu. As for Boracay, it's good for a week maximum. I made the mistake of spending 10 nights there in March 2009 and found my days on repeat after 6-7 days. I stayed at La Reserve in Station 2 run by a genuinely nice Frenchman named Laraunt, who upgraded my beach hut free of charge when I discovered a problem with the door lock.
Gotcha yeah I stay in the nice areas of Manila and I think it’s superior but it’s open to interpretation. Certainly yeah Boracay is an acquired taste. I can stay there for a month or two, but I used to live there and I don’t mind it.
Spot on Bro......I actually live in Bohol...The beach life is in Panglo Isalnd...
Yes sir
I prefer CEBU
Nice
Luzon is a big island with many choices about where to live. One can live in Luzon and even close to Manila, if desired, without having to live in Manila. This applies to any of the islands and their respective cities.
The convenience and first world amenities are in Manila and the traffic is BRUTAL.
Great content as always Jasper. I am interested in your thoughts on CDO. I am an Aussie looking to get boots on the ground next year, and working through my due diligence at the moment. I am 6'2, 230 lbs, blue eyes and under 50 years old.
I’ve never been there so I can’t speak with authority on it, but I’ve heard good things
@@JasperinthePhilippines Cheers Mate! Hopefully I can get boots on the ground there next year, and check it out for a couple of months. If one wants to be a valued commodity, go where demand outstrips supply. Go to a place where your value goes from being a 5-6 to a 9-10 predominantly based upon a change of location, and being a highly desired but scarce product. Work smarter, not harder. 🙂Take care Jasper!
1000% 🎯
what is CDO?
Cagayan de oro
There is a huge section of Manila that is untouched by tourists; I doubt anyone will go there but its a gem for dating. University belt region Quiapo Cubao area and even the malate manila tondo region. Everyone talks Makati but it’s harder there
True
That beach. Hell yeah.
Yup
Manila is better. Take the advice from Australian 🇦🇺 travelers: "The bigger, the better, mates!"
RIP 🙏 to the author of Super Size : the super size = more choices! 😃😎

Agree 💯on Manila v Cebu. I’m not a fan of Boracay…just not my cup of tea.
I totally understand it’s not for everybody. I enjoy station one and dinner with and deep in station three not so much the tourist area.
Manila middle of taifun highway, only stupido settle there. I have house in tropical paradise beach in N Cebu, wouldn't change.
😂😂😂
Ok genius commentor 😂😂😂😂😂
Do a vid on Davao.
Lol
Why didn't you try to interview the two chicks that walked in front of you on the beach
Because I didn’t feel like it
I prefer cebu
Cool
Thx
🫡
You don’t want the Philippines experience you want all the west stuff at your fingertips. To each their own.
lol. Gotta look a lil closer at my channel noob
waiting
Ok ok ✅
Those 2 White girls were looking all in your camera but you kept on filming them anyway. I like how you didn't give a f*#k, Lol.
Yeah, people fill me all day and I’m famous so if you’re in public, you’re subject to being filmed in 2024. It’s not like they were even as attractive as my girlfriend or anything so it’s no problem lol
They were mean mugging 🤣
😂😂😂
ya that’s ok. I hate being filmed but I was walking down a beach. And they happened to be on that beach. Happens everyday 😂
Anywhere you go even your country
?
CEBU
Ok
Neither.
Angeles City is where smart expats live.
It is a city which is geared for expats and has all the products and services you need within a very short distance.
It has modern hospitals, Western style apartments, visa agents, lawyers, shops selling Western food, restaurants of all nationalities, the huge Clark Zone with all the industries, amusement parks, museums, etc.
In addition, Baguio is near, Manila is near, Subic Bay beaches are near, there is an international airport, there is not much traffic and not much pollution. And you have privacy and respect for it.
In short, AC is the place.
Manila has all those but the distances are huge, the traffic is horrendous and the air is not clean. It can also be expensive.
In Cebu, same thing. Traffic and pollution and huge crowds.
What I personally don't like about Cebu is while the locals are very friendly, they also tend to be too much into your business, making comments,
staring, etc. Some try and get into a fight. Sorry, I just had to say it. A good place to visit but not to live in.
Angeles City is where you should be heading.
😂😂😂😂😂
Negative ghost rider. Makati- Rockwell/Green belts & BGC is where the “smart” “rich” expats live.
Sorry bud.
@@torres8988 Oh, just go to Angeles City. Great life!
😂😂😂😂😂
Manila is better if you have money
Ok 👍
What is BGC
Bonifacio global city
What is sana all?
Hoping
Where does Iloilo or Davao rank in there
Both high. Those and Angeles are the other 3 popular unless you count duma
@@JasperinthePhilippinesthanks
@@JasperinthePhilippines what dating app did your friend use
My friend!??
No clue. Which “friend”
none of the 2 lol. just kidding 😂
