TOUR LAPU-LAPU, MACTAN TO UPTOWN CEBU CITY BY MOTORBIKE & LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Come along on this tour by motorbike from Lapu-Lapu City, Mactan Island to uptown Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. This was 2 days into the new travel regulations, requirements, and restrictions. We encountered 2 checkpoints but we were not stopped.
Mactan Island is the site of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport. There are presently 2 bridges connecting Cebu to Mactan Island with a 3rd bridge on the south side of Cebu City about 80% finished. Mactan has many resorts on the east side of the island. Cebu City, Mandaue City, and Lapu Lapu City are called the tri-cities of Cebu.
The "Uptown" area of Cebu City is centered around Fuente Osmena Clircle, a large traffic circle with 2 Robinson's Malls on either side. There are several hospitals and colleges in this area as well as Mango Square, an entertainment and restaurant area.

Greetings hot rod, can't wait to make the trip with you. God speed and be well sir.
Thanks and take care.
As usual awesome video thanks again rod god bless keep healthy so we could watch more videos from you thanks again
Thanks Pacheco. Take care.
Great driving video. Keep Safe Always.
Thanks 👍
Good evening Rod
Good evening Dasani.
Amazing update!
Glad you think so!
Rod: "Lane lines are only a suggestion in the Philippines"
😂😂😂
LOL. Yes, I just sit back and enjoy the ride and chaos Jordi.
Yeah the Taliban is making of the media in the us it's a joke to them very cool ride Rod I really wish I could go back to Cebu I haven't been there in a year or more and I have cousins that live there to I consider Lazada more reliable than shopee cause shopee can cancel your order just a few days after you ordered something with Lazada at least when you order something your most likely to get it and I've been satisfied for the most part with the products I've ordered and received but if you save up money for something on both Lazada or shopee that product could very well be out of stock which is annoying to say the least but their cash on delivery system is very convenient and that bridge 🌉 in Cebu that you passed by looks really great
I learned to always do cash on delivery also Jeff as it took some time to get a refund on one non-delivery. It is always a good time to take a motorbike ride across town. A little risk but worth it in my opinion.
I LOVE videos like this, thanks Rod! Feels like I'm there with ya, driving around. Some day I'll get to visit Cebu and I believe it will actually look familiar to me just from watching your videos, ha.
Thanks for coming along Kevin. My cheap thrill for the week.
been down many of the streets he travels and yes your right watching him often feels like it was only yesterday instead of couple of years.
Great stuff Rod, been everywhere you went on the habalhabal, know the area well and miss it so much. As for your analysis of the current situation, i concur with your assessment, you are the voice of reason, without doubt, my friend. Well said.
Thanks Bob. Each day is a new journey and I continue to see and learn new things with each trip. Take care.
I've been going to Cebu for 30 years had ZERO idea there were two Robinsons on Osmena . Is one of them fairly new?
I lived here for about a year before I realized there were 2 Robinsons opposite each other also. The Cybergate is newer I think.
I need to know the important stuff like how far apart and where do you find the public restrooms
LOL. They are very far apart and not well marked so you need to ask the locals and have 5-10 pesos ready to pay for the CRs, comfort rooms, restrooms off of the street. That is one reason so many still pee on the wall off of the sidewalk.
Rod, you can get a vaccine if you register online in Cebu City or you can ask your barangay.
Thanks but I will depend on my natural antibodies from having the virus which should last for many years vs the experimental meds that may last for 6 months is appears. I am also very low risk with high vitamin D and C levels, no comorbidities, and I exercise often.
Ivermectin as prevention and cure is also being discussed in the Philippines and many doctors here and around the world use it effectively for this and it may work for dengue also.
Wondering if new bridge will have a toll?
Light rail would help, park and ride rapid bus system at city level.
Yes, it is a toll bridge.
It is a toll road. Rapid bus system is planned but lagging behind many years already. Some implementation this year probably. Monorail system talked about.
@@rainnemedrozo6415 thanks looks good
@@AmazingPhilippines1 will be nice thanks for update.
it's good to know I'm not the only old gasser! Love ya Rod 🤠😉 ;-)
LOL. Thanks Kevin.
Hard to know when you were in cebu or lapu lapu !!!
The bridge is the dividing point Ralph. Mactan Island and Lapu Lapu on one side and Cebu City, Mandaue City across the bridge.
💡👍
Thanks
Rod you're a braver man than me, even after a year here I haven't been brave enough to do habel-habel 😁🤔😁. They're building a new convention center next to SM Seaside. It's a huge project going in.
LOL. You are pretty brave to be out there with your own bike and vehicle John. It is my cheap thrill each week.
Hi Rod. Pleased to see you on the road despite the BBQ in Cebu City. I'm safe over here in Leyte. Up to now the lambada variant has not hit us.
Stay safe over on Leyte Richard. I read about the npa getting blasted over there recently.
There is a small retail park close to where your video started. Plenty of brand name stores, a Robinson's Supermarket, 7 11, some coffee shops and restaurants. Plenty of choices and extremely cheap. Worth a video.
I think I am familiar with it. Thanks. There are a few new shopping areas like that springing up.
always interesting, informative, and pleasantly delivered- thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Dan.
That was a nice long ride, thanks Rod. Glad you’re out and about for us all, much appreciated. Can I ask, do you source your vitamins locally or online please ? Take care.
That was pretty much the complete ride video so that is how long it took me Brian.
I presently get most of my vitamins from Healthy Options. They are online and have several stores including in Ayala Mall and SM Mall. Expensive and most come from the USA so some quality control I hope. S&R, similar to Costco, has a few. I buy the kirkland brand multis and a couple others if they have stock. I suggest you bring as much as you can.
这是菲律宾哪个省，你知道哪里有便宜的房子出租吗
This is Lapu-Lapu, Mactan Island and crossing the bridge to Mandaue City and Cebu City, Cebu. The best way to find cheaper houses for rent is to network with Filipinos. Good luck.
Thanks for the moto vlog tour. Always nice to see the areas. Stay safe on your travels.
Thanks, will do James.
You are absolutely correct that it was damaged due to Earthquake (October) and Typhoon (November) on the same year (2013). You are really well-informed about Cebu :)
I have heard different stories about someone possibly building on that property, but nothing for sure yet.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Yep. Supposedly. But I think the Local and Government have yet to make an agreement on that one.
Hey Rod; Sporting a beard now, I see.
nice vid
LOL. Must have shown in the mirror.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Kenny.
First comment, What is my prize?
Also, Norway has announced removal of all domestic coronavirus measures. I think Singapore may have done something similar. That means at least some governments realize that we'll all be living with covid forever, and they intend to consider it another flu, or something like that. The rest of the world will follow.
LOL. Come on up and I will buy you lunch John.
Sweden never did lock down and has a similar "curve" as most nations with economy destroying measures. It is mostly people over 70 with several co-morbidities who are the most at risk of dying or serious versions according to the data.
Good day to you .
Have a nice day Manuel.
