Just two minor things. His toilet works, it's the flush that doesn't. Bucket flushing is still pretty much the preferred method in the Philippines, as this saves a ton of water compared to tank flushing. Second was that his AC also most likely works, it's on older dial based window type. He needed to turn fan knob for the AC to start. The switch in front for powersaving mode or performance mode, which basically just enable/disables the automatic fan. If you are planning to stay for a long time, you can get an apartment for $100 to $130 a month in these areas. Just don't expect it to be along the beach.
Yes and there are motorbikes for rent as well better if u stay a little farther from the beach but at least u can stroll around the neighborhood, stores etc & still can go to the beach easily when u rent motorbikes.
I learned you’re moving to the Philippines, happy for you guys. My unsolicited advice, BE PATIENT and adapt to the “go with the flow” attitude. if you can do that, you’ll love it there.
Man, I can't wait for you guys to visit the Philippines and create vlogs about it. And not just the Philippines, but the whole of Southeast Asia! You'll meet some of the friendliest people you've ever encountered.
I've lived in the US (Orange county, California) for 40+ years. I just moved here in Ph, and I'm NOT coming back! There's a reason why over 4 million (or was it 400k?) Americans live/retire in ph.
Wow. Nice. Thanks. For. Loving. Our. Country. Consider. Our. Country. As. Your. Second. Home ❤❤❤. Of. Lifetime. Home. So glad. That. You. Like it. And. Most. Of. American which is. Our allied. Forces too.
@@RC-Jr what. Do you. Love. In our. Country. That. You. Decided to stay. Actually. I. Love. Your. Decision. They. Say follow. Where. Your. Heart is ❤️❤️❤️
Just be prepared for an entirely different world and just be open to the experience and people will naturally go out of their way to help. That's just the culture. I pray that you have a positive experience in my country.
As a local, $100 is a decent good amount of cash when I did my first el nido trip back then. Guys, if you want that island and party vibe check Boracay Island you will love it. The sand is way more fine, white and beautiful.
Part of the reason the water in the lagoons and most of phillipines is so clear clean and blue.. is the lime and xoral reefs.. most of the reef and coral is protected under the world preservation conservative efforts and its kept as pure and un disturbed as possible. A portion of all those fees the tourists pay is to help that preservation and conservation efforts.. thanks so much for showing the world the pearl of Asia.. the Philippines!
Just remember that cheap 'branded' items here are usually knock-offs, so the quality is not very good. Sellers also tend to jack up prices for tourists so you can haggle if you want. $100 will not get you much in Manila, but it will be enough for 2-3 days in the provinces, esp if you're not picky with food and accommodations. As for the 5-hr drive to El Nido, you can actually get a direct flight from Manila but it costs about $250 one way.
The Philippines is known worldwide for their hospitality and despite the abject poverty, people are usually just smiling and happy and willing to help. This is why you see a lot of Filipino nurses, caretakers, etc.. because they are great with people. Can’t wait when you guys finally come and experienced it for yourselves. Currently the exchange for US$1=P55.95
If you're going to the Philippines It's also important to check the weather news, since the Philippines is the heart of typhoon territories, we experience 20+ every year annually
Just be careful, though. We DO have some bad elements in the Philippines, starting at the airport, where taxi and transport companies try to rip you off with high fares. Some hotels also charge you "low rates" but you end up paying a lot of additional fees. Vendors charge you high prices for their goods, so be prepared to haggle. Counteroffer with an amount that's half what they said. Remember, prices WILL VARY from area to area. For example, in BGC and some places in Makati, a local beer can cost you at least three dollars while a cocktail would set you back ten bucks. Still cheaper than US prices but more expensive than in most places in the Philippines.
As a Filipino, that I can agree with! Your $100 can get you to places but varies on which region/province you will visit the Philippines. But in Metro Manila, atleast $150-$200 minimum. For transportation, same with Singapore we use Grab app. We used to have Uber but they pulled out. We have motorcycle taxi app Angkas, Joyride (Joyride now caters car as well)
And also, those stuffs that he bought from El Nido maybe 2nd hand or maybe carbon copy items meaning not the real ones, but heck still comfortable to use. Because you dont need to spend extravagant here, just enjoy the nature. ❤
Finn now owns a yacht that can take you anywhere in the PH, i recommend you watch his Tubataha Reef video. I hope you DandJ would visit us soon🎉 Enjoying your videos take care God bless ❤️
Hi guys! If you're retired with minimum of $750 a month you can live like a Prince here in PI with a houemaid. Or you can use that as a down payment/monthly payment for a house and lot with 4 to 5 bedrooms. If you're on vacation it can last 2 to 3 months, depends how you use it.
Yeah but to be honest, if you will rent and live in Manila, specially to those places that are kind of known or famous places specifically BGC area in Taguig City and Marikina City, the rent are kind of pricey too ..like 3 years ago we were in the Philippines and rented a 2 bedroom condo in BGC that cost $1,000 a month, after 3 months we moved to Marikina City to save some money and be close to my family over there, we rented a 2 story townhouse for $700 a month..so I think it's a lot cheaper to live in the provinces..like in Cebu, Dumaguete, Siargao, Davao ( you now those visayas and Mindanao parts) than in Manila😊
Hi D and J, this Conti's video is an older video. Also $100 US dollars goes further at non tourist spots. I moved from the states to the Philippines and I am so thankful I did❤

In the Philippines there are many ukay-ukay stalls that sells clothes from 50php .. a lot of these clothes have come from the west either second hand or even new with original tags still on them ...branded names too.
I hope I could bump into you both when you visit Palawan. Aside from El Nido, try to visit Coron also. Though travel may be quite tedious, but it's understandable since we are a group of island s. I hope that your visit would afford you good memories especially here in Palawan.
Hello! Been watching your videos and I appreciate your reactions. I'm definitely sure that you will enjoy your vacation here. Palawan is also in my bucket list this year to visit. Been to Boracay and you will love the sunset there. Thank you for appreciating our talented artists. ❤
im number one subscriber of finnsnow since 2018 😊..i love him and kulas ,becoming filipino .. if you have a 50,000dollar you can have a house and lot ,a second hand car,a small business or more ..
Finn Snow also has a great travel content and aside from being a travel blogger he also help and put a organization for young filipino kids.he is already a citizen in the Philippines.
What are you waiting for guys? Come here in our beautiful friendly island The Philippines, before youll be left behind!!!Dont be the last person, youll be missing the best part of your Life!! Just come, dont hesitate!!!
just finished watching your live stream with jay wyatt and cashual chuck ..and i really really enjoyed it . the chemistry the four of you have is really amazing❤❤more blessings and success
You need to prepare your mind and body for scorching summer heat in The Philippines... if you're both planning to visit Philippines! For that... Welcome to the Philippines. Been there last December to Feb.. it's rainy but still too hot.
I’m from Florida. the most tropical spots at the bottom of Florida where it’s 100 plus degrees and 98% humidity. Lived there almost 30 years. Trust me I’m used to it all. Been through all the tropical storms, category 5 hurricanes 135 mph winds and floods. Been there done that. We are good to go
That travel vlog was taken 5 years ago wherein finn snow just started travelling the philippines. So brett conti's $100 got him that much but now adays prices is bit higher due to global inflation. Secondly, it took him 7hrs travel because he opted for a bus ride from cebu but airplane is an option to shorten travel time.
Hi D&J.. Just an FYI. El Nido is a touristy place. Some prices there are higher than other parts of Philippines. Plus, if you are a foreigner, sometimes they charge you higher too (eg.fliptop is $2 or lower in Manila local stores, eye glasses is $1 to $2). Bargaining is common here so you can even get the prices much lower than the initial price if you bargain or ask for the last price. Also, since El Nido is a main tourist island here, some other white sand islands can offer you lower than $20 for island hopping tour. Feel free to explore here. :)
I’d rather just pay them what they want to help them out. Supporting the community is important to me. I’m not trying to go to a country of people that are struggling and haggle them down. They need help.
I can't wait for your visit to the Philippines. El Nido may be reached directly from Manila by flight. He traveled from Manila to Puerto Princesa and then to El Nido, which is why it took 6 hours.
However, the subterranean underground river makes Puerto Princesa a worthwhile destination as well. Considered as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Puerto Princesa is the home of the open-air Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm or the Prison without walls. Additionally, Coron is near El Nido. That is all located in Palawan. In Coron you can try the Houseboat (ua-cam.com/video/M4DhYL5UUpw/v-deo.html) From Manila, you may fly to Puerto Princesa, and from there, it's a 6-hour van or bus ride to El Nido. El Nido is a tame clubbing version of Boracay. Similar to El Nido, Coron, Palawan is more nature yet has less visitors.@@TripTipsPodcast
Dude, you need to check the breakers because most of the time, the breaker of a/c outlets are turned OFF.. due to accidental leaving the a/c open by the guest and to save nergey as well as security. LOL.. Welcome to the Philippines. Check that out next time you drop by..
USA is a rich country their wages are thousands about 3-5 thousand dollars comparing Philippines, it depends upon the place you'll travel too. If by chance you'll visit Philippines I'm sure you'll enjoy as long that you'll adopt the lifestyle particularly the local people .
Its not really cheap in the Philippines as it was before..FYI..prices here are increasing..like last month the rice was just 50 pesos for 1 kilo..now its 60 pesos..kayak before was 300..now it was 500..stay safe..GODBLESS..
$100 in NYC is so rare to get enough of what you want in a day including a night drink and all... But you can stretch $100 in few days if you only get to spend for food in a low end resto. Good enough for a simple life.
FYI: The branded apparel he bought were knock offs/counterfeit. There are some shops that sell branded items for cheap as they were manufactured in the Philippines or neighboring countries but it's not the shops lining the streets of these touristy places.
@@TripTipsPodcast Absolutely. It is a fun place to go with plenty of enriching experiences. Just want to manage some expectations since it looks like you are planning on visiting in the future. Most Filipinos take pride in welcoming people from other parts of the world and would like you to have a pleasant visit as much as possible.
The more videos you will watch about the Philippines , the more excited you'll become to visit the country. Whether or not you would travel here , still this is great opportunity to let the world know how beautiful and great our country is, about our cultrure and the people. See you guys soon here doing your videos as in for real real. Thanks for the good publicity.
@@TripTipsPodcast can't also wait to see both of your reactions here experiencing the wonders of our country. And it's 3:11Am right now here in PH. Thank you so much for the response.
@@TripTipsPodcastjust a simple info in our culture - we always say these tagalog words when we want someone to give a pleasant and respectful response to anyone we talked to, like saying " ATE" for a particular older or same age lady then " NENE" for a younger or little girl. Then for men we say " KUYA" for the older guy/ man and " TOTOY" for a younger or little boy. THOSE TAGALOG WORDS WE oftenly USE FOR our INITIAL or first word of the first statement in a conversation.. Then we also say " PO" for the the last word in a single or couple statemnet to every conversation. Then say "OPO" when you are agreeing to someting. Those words that I've mentioned are our way of giving respectful response to any conversation specially to older individual. You can use those words to get a much greater respect and treatment.
To be fair, most of our products sold by small time businesses are bootleg, specially the "designer brand" ones. But, they are just as functional. You can argue that durability is the downside, but you'll exaust yourself to sleeep before those bootleg products give up. But one thing I'd be proud to in regards to our products are the booze. They are stupidly cheap compared to other countries. If you enjoy the occasional drinking, you'll be spending way cheap, and still have more to share with the locals.
That’s why this reason many foreigners that married to a Filipina when they get retired they come back home here to enjoy spending your retirement money in many good things that money can’t buy.
I miss my native land. That’s one of my dreams to travel and enjoy all the brilliant sceneries of my beautiful country. But as of this time I need to make some sacrifices staying here in USA to earn enough to reach one of my dreams. I hope I can survive here for 3 more years 😅✌️❤️🙏 Thank you for your wonderful reactions❤
as like you Americans with dollar income..1dollar is equivalent for P55,so you Americans when u çome to Philippines you live extravaganza ❤i highly recommend also The place in Mindanao in Siargao,there are so many tourists coming there coz of Surfing and etc.
Hi there! My advice is, please find a trusted contact person/s here in Manila (like Casual Chuck 😄) to help and guide you on your first few days here just to lessen the stress of the culture shock. But once you are settled in, I promise, you’ll have the greatest time of your life here in our country! Looking forward in bumping with you if ever you’ll choose to live in BGC coz’ it’s one of the main business district here in Manila and we usually work around that area. 😊
Ordinary foreigner's specially from US can afford to travel and leisure here in the philippines, because of much higher value of money and income, that's why filipinos goto abroad to work and save money to spend here. Only rich filipinos can vacation in western countries😅😅😅❤️🇵🇭
Just my view. I think now is a good time for you to reach out to some of foreign UA-camrs who are living in the Phils to find acquaintance and to start building your own community and friendships. 'Coz living in a foreign country could sometimes be lonely no matter how lovely and vibrant the place is and how friendly the people are. There are really those moments in life and you want someone who can relate to you as an outsider, as a non-Filipino. 2. You should take some time to learn and build friendship with Filipinos. Sometimes Filipinos are a bit shy and you need to crack them surface to get inside🤣 and once you have a community of Filipino and foreign friends I think your experience will be great. I am living outside PH and I use this tip to survive in a foreign country. I both have a native, non-native and Filipino friends and these friendships totally made a difference in my life. Also Tip on the toilet not working usually there is a plunger beside the Toilet-seat so you should use that if it ain't working. Sometime the water pressure in some areas are weak so you just give it a little push with the plunger and you're good to go😂
$100 is equivalent to Php5,500.00 in the Philippines. It is enough to cover your travel expenses including food from our place here in Calbayog City, Samar😅 to Metro Manila and back which is more or less 700 km away from us.
Love it, damn I missed my country, philippines 🇵🇭 your so right usa are so expensive now a days, especially here in bayarea nor California. That 100 dollars probably few items in costco lol while 100 in the philippines will give you 3 days full of fun and memories. BTW I'm looking forward to your trip to the philippines. can't wait for your trip and videos. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it. Ty
You don't need a plan going in the Philippines just go with a flow if you can do that your good to go😊 and also every country there's a bad apple 🍎 so be careful.
Hi D&J as always you and your father are really good reactors correct me if I'm wrong not just Philippines content but everything specially my favorite bts content. this is the only reaction channel that I'm watch this longer almost everyday waiting for new videos. Its like a routine for me after being exhausted from work and traffic here in manila once I got home. I watch your channel to relax and It's really enjoyable. I wish this channel becomes millions subs I think you really deserve it. I cant wait to watch your travel vlogs. I hope this year I can travel too my first travel. I'm really burn out from everything. enjoy and be safe always God bless both and always healthy... 🥰🥰😇😇sorry for my grammar my English is bad not really fluent😀😀
Awe thank you so much for your kind words. We truly appreciate your kindness and support 😊❤️😊❤️ We’re so happy 😃 you’re enjoying our videos. In case you didn’t hear we’re going Live this coming Monday 4am PST (US time zone). We’ll do it again on Wednesday as well at the same time. Hope you can join us 😊❤️😊❤️
Come and have a second base here in PH. Do your RVs and vlog travels here like Trifate. They also discover PH through SB19. Filipinos will support your channel :)
Guys the reason why its a bit cheap for the items he bought is because the items aren't really original mostly imitations like sunglasses even in philippines original rayban will cause you $100bucks+ sandals example nike origianl cause cause $30bucks but being realistic you can buy thus imitations for your travel needs miat of it atill looks like original just choose the item and doesnt make a difference when wearing them.
The best thing about the liquor and beer in the Philippines is it’s cheap, strong and tastes good. A 375ml bottle of Tanduay rum is $1 at 40%. Red horse beer is 8% and $1.5 for 500ml. But most popular Filipino beer is San Miguel Pale Pilsen at 5%. Also make sure to eat sizzling Sisig as your appetizer while drinking. Truly Filipino experience. Pork in the Philippines is amazing.
What he bought were knock-offs so it was cheap, just a disclaimer.😊 And in Manila, it can be sold for half the price than in Palawan (goods are generally pricier in destination places like Palawan, Boracay) because they do cater to tourists.
I notice in the US the "Good morning!" is like a robot greeting you, but the "Good morning!" in Filipino accent is like a song. ❤ "Good morniiiiiiing 🎶🎶🎶🎶
7 minutes into the video and please take note that Imitation products is very common here, like that "supreme" sandals is most likely locally made imitation so it should be cheap, you can actually feel the difference of most imitations if compared to an original one.
There’s no such thing as US made these days, almost everything in the US right now is CHINA made, even cars and iPhones. But they are quality controlled

You are very welcome to come in our country.

We’ll be there in November
In the Philippines there are many ukay-ukay stalls that sells clothes from 50php .. a lot of these clothes have come from the west either second hand or even new with original tags still on them ...branded names too.
Wow that’s awesome
I've been to Coron and El Nido and it is truely beautiful and serene. Will watch out for your Philippine travel vlogs
😊👍😊👍
I hope I could bump into you both when you visit Palawan. Aside from El Nido, try to visit Coron also. Though travel may be quite tedious, but it's understandable since we are a group of island
s. I hope that your visit would afford you good memories especially here in Palawan.
We’ll see what we can do
In the province's rate to rent a home you will find $100 dollars a month. A big home surrounding the tree..plant..

You need to prepare your mind and body for scorching summer heat in The Philippines... if you're both planning to visit Philippines! For that... Welcome to the Philippines. Been there last December to Feb.. it's rainy but still too hot.
I’m from Florida. the most tropical spots at the bottom of Florida where it’s 100 plus degrees and 98% humidity. Lived there almost 30 years. Trust me I’m used to it all. Been through all the tropical storms, category 5 hurricanes 135 mph winds and floods. Been there done that. We are good to go

That travel vlog was taken 5 years ago wherein finn snow just started travelling the philippines. So brett conti's $100 got him that much but now adays prices is bit higher due to global inflation. Secondly, it took him 7hrs travel because he opted for a bus ride from cebu but airplane is an option to shorten travel time.
Yeah I am sure it’s more expensive now
I'm from Iloilo and we are called the City of Love... I hope you guys can come and visit us!
We’ll work on it
You have got to try our local beer from San Miguel brewery. It does not disappoint.
Ok thanks 😊
@@TripTipsPodcast
San Miguel Pale Pilsen would be the top choice guys, highly recommend it 👊😎
@@SoloRid3r 👍👍
@@SoloRid3r thanks 😊
Hi D&J.. Just an FYI. El Nido is a touristy place. Some prices there are higher than other parts of Philippines. Plus, if you are a foreigner, sometimes they charge you higher too (eg.fliptop is $2 or lower in Manila local stores, eye glasses is $1 to $2). Bargaining is common here so you can even get the prices much lower than the initial price if you bargain or ask for the last price. Also, since El Nido is a main tourist island here, some other white sand islands can offer you lower than $20 for island hopping tour. Feel free to explore here. :)
I’d rather just pay them what they want to help them out. Supporting the community is important to me. I’m not trying to go to a country of people that are struggling and haggle them down. They need help.
@@TripTipsPodcasti knew you would say that.. thank u.. that would be nice too 😊 enjoy and have a safe trip 😊
@@maryrose.samson18 thanks! 😊
@@TripTipsPodcastawww thats so nice of you.
El Nido resort was awarded the best resort in 2022 by Forbes magazine. Dont ever forget to visit the resort
Wow
dont worry about it now coz. we have a plane from manila direct to El nido..
That’s awesome
I can't wait for your visit to the Philippines. El Nido may be reached directly from Manila by flight. He traveled from Manila to Puerto Princesa and then to El Nido, which is why it took 6 hours.
El Nido is high on the bucket list.
However, the subterranean underground river makes Puerto Princesa a worthwhile destination as well. Considered as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Puerto Princesa is the home of the open-air Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm or the Prison without walls. Additionally, Coron is near El Nido. That is all located in Palawan. In Coron you can try the Houseboat (ua-cam.com/video/M4DhYL5UUpw/v-deo.html) From Manila, you may fly to Puerto Princesa, and from there, it's a 6-hour van or bus ride to El Nido. El Nido is a tame clubbing version of Boracay. Similar to El Nido, Coron, Palawan is more nature yet has less visitors.@@TripTipsPodcast
Dude, you need to check the breakers because most of the time, the breaker of a/c outlets are turned OFF.. due to accidental leaving the a/c open by the guest and to save nergey as well as security. LOL.. Welcome to the Philippines. Check that out next time you drop by..
Okay thanks
USA is a rich country their wages are thousands about 3-5 thousand dollars comparing Philippines, it depends upon the place you'll travel too. If by chance you'll visit Philippines I'm sure you'll enjoy as long that you'll adopt the lifestyle particularly the local people .
We can’t wait to visit soon
Its not really cheap in the Philippines as it was before..FYI..prices here are increasing..like last month the rice was just 50 pesos for 1 kilo..now its 60 pesos..kayak before was 300..now it was 500..stay safe..GODBLESS..
Thanks for the update 😊
El Nido is a different world. One of my favorite places in the world.
Looks incredible
$100 in NYC is so rare to get enough of what you want in a day including a night drink and all... But you can stretch $100 in few days if you only get to spend for food in a low end resto. Good enough for a simple life.
Palawan is so beautiful
FYI: The branded apparel he bought were knock offs/counterfeit. There are some shops that sell branded items for cheap as they were manufactured in the Philippines or neighboring countries but it's not the shops lining the streets of these touristy places.
Still looks good though. As long as they work and I can buy from locals and support them that’s all that matters
@@TripTipsPodcast Absolutely. It is a fun place to go with plenty of enriching experiences. Just want to manage some expectations since it looks like you are planning on visiting in the future. Most Filipinos take pride in welcoming people from other parts of the world and would like you to have a pleasant visit as much as possible.
@@TripTipsPodcastagree with this, and even local products like Bench and Penshoppe are cheaper and are as good as the luxury brands.
The more videos you will watch about the Philippines , the more excited you'll become to visit the country. Whether or not you would travel here , still this is great opportunity to let the world know how beautiful and great our country is, about our cultrure and the people. See you guys soon here doing your videos as in for real real. Thanks for the good publicity.
Can't wait!🤩🇵🇭
@@TripTipsPodcast can't also wait to see both of your reactions here experiencing the wonders of our country. And it's 3:11Am right now here in PH. Thank you so much for the response.
@@marlondenoyo4900 we’re so excited to visit soon
@@TripTipsPodcastjust a simple info in our culture - we always say these tagalog words when we want someone to give a pleasant and respectful response to anyone we talked to, like saying " ATE" for a particular older or same age lady then " NENE" for a younger or little girl. Then for men we say " KUYA" for the older guy/ man and " TOTOY" for a younger or little boy. THOSE TAGALOG WORDS WE oftenly USE FOR our INITIAL or first word of the first statement in a conversation.. Then we also say " PO" for the the last word in a single or couple statemnet to every conversation. Then say "OPO" when you are agreeing to someting. Those words that I've mentioned are our way of giving respectful response to any conversation specially to older individual. You can use those words to get a much greater respect and treatment.
@@marlondenoyo4900 awesome. Thank you for teaching us 🙏🤝
"what are we doing here bro?" 😅 this cracked me, I'm excited for your visit here, hope you'll get the best experience you could ever have.
I hope so too!😊
To be fair, most of our products sold by small time businesses are bootleg, specially the "designer brand" ones. But, they are just as functional. You can argue that durability is the downside, but you'll exaust yourself to sleeep before those bootleg products give up.
But one thing I'd be proud to in regards to our products are the booze. They are stupidly cheap compared to other countries.
If you enjoy the occasional drinking, you'll be spending way cheap, and still have more to share with the locals.
You can get a decent hotel room for 20 dollars where the ac works and the room including the toilets are clean and in order.
Awesome thanks 😊
Life doesn't have to be lavish, expensive or stressful.....it has to be simple. That's all. 😊
👍👍
I always watch Nomac world also he travels all around the world too.
I’ll check the channel out
@@TripTipsPodcast good, also Luke Martin... they enjoyed visiting Philippines
@@marifewolfe9682 I’m sure they did
That’s why this reason many foreigners that married to a Filipina when they get retired they come back home here to enjoy spending your retirement money in many good things that money can’t buy.
I see. Very cool
Very true
hello❤much love ❤❤❤philippines
😊❤️😊❤️
What are two doing there?experience Philippines and experience us Filipinos and you'll gonna love it....welcome to the Philippines d&j
Thanks 😊
I miss my native land. That’s one of my dreams to travel and enjoy all the brilliant sceneries of my beautiful country. But as of this time I need to make some sacrifices staying here in USA to earn enough to reach one of my dreams. I hope I can survive here for 3 more years 😅✌️❤️🙏
Thank you for your wonderful reactions❤
Our pleasure!
Coron also is one of the great place in Palawan
So excited to visit
It's cheaper in some areas that's non tourist spot but the same ambiance and adventure you'll get.
Good to know
One. Advice. I would. Like. To. Say. Follow. Where your. Heart. Is. Goto the. Place. Where. You. Are. Important. ❤❤❤ And you. Will. Find. True. Happiness. That. You. Deserve
Not sure what you boys are waiting for lol come on over! 😆
We will be there soon enough
as like you Americans with dollar income..1dollar is equivalent for P55,so you Americans when u çome to Philippines you live extravaganza ❤i highly recommend also The place in Mindanao in Siargao,there are so many tourists coming there coz of Surfing and etc.
Hi there! My advice is, please find a trusted contact person/s here in Manila (like Casual Chuck 😄) to help and guide you on your first few days here just to lessen the stress of the culture shock. But once you are settled in, I promise, you’ll have the greatest time of your life here in our country! Looking forward in bumping with you if ever you’ll choose to live in BGC coz’ it’s one of the main business district here in Manila and we usually work around that area. 😊
Thanks for the tips!
Ordinary foreigner's specially from US can afford to travel and leisure here in the philippines, because of much higher value of money and income, that's why filipinos goto abroad to work and save money to spend here. Only rich filipinos can vacation in western countries😅😅😅❤️🇵🇭
Yes it’s a little easier for us to travel
Just my view. I think now is a good time for you to reach out to some of foreign UA-camrs who are living in the Phils to find acquaintance and to start building your own community and friendships. 'Coz living in a foreign country could sometimes be lonely no matter how lovely and vibrant the place is and how friendly the people are. There are really those moments in life and you want someone who can relate to you as an outsider, as a non-Filipino. 2. You should take some time to learn and build friendship with Filipinos. Sometimes Filipinos are a bit shy and you need to crack them surface to get inside🤣 and once you have a community of Filipino and foreign friends I think your experience will be great. I am living outside PH and I use this tip to survive in a foreign country. I both have a native, non-native and Filipino friends and these friendships totally made a difference in my life.
Also Tip on the toilet not working usually there is a plunger beside the Toilet-seat so you should use that if it ain't working. Sometime the water pressure in some areas are weak so you just give it a little push with the plunger and you're good to go😂
Absolutely 👍
All great tips thanks for sharing 😊
$100 is equivalent to Php5,500.00 in the Philippines. It is enough to cover your travel expenses including food from our place here in Calbayog City, Samar😅 to Metro Manila and back which is more or less 700 km away from us.
One hundred dollars is more than 5thousands pesos.You can buy a grocery for two weeks.
You should visit Binan, Vigan, La Union, Davao, Cebu...
Okay😊
What I like about Philippine beaches is that you can do night swimming without getting attack by sharks.
Love it, damn I missed my country, philippines 🇵🇭 your so right usa are so expensive now a days, especially here in bayarea nor California. That 100 dollars probably few items in costco lol while 100 in the philippines will give you 3 days full of fun and memories. BTW I'm looking forward to your trip to the philippines. can't wait for your trip and videos. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it. Ty
Thanks 😊
You don't need a plan going in the Philippines just go with a flow if you can do that your good to go😊 and also every country there's a bad apple 🍎 so be careful.
Hi D&J as always you and your father are really good reactors correct me if I'm wrong not just Philippines content but everything specially my favorite bts content. this is the only reaction channel that I'm watch this longer almost everyday waiting for new videos. Its like a routine for me after being exhausted from work and traffic here in manila once I got home. I watch your channel to relax and It's really enjoyable. I wish this channel becomes millions subs I think you really deserve it. I cant wait to watch your travel vlogs. I hope this year I can travel too my first travel. I'm really burn out from everything. enjoy and be safe always God bless both and always healthy... 🥰🥰😇😇sorry for my grammar my English is bad not really fluent😀😀
Awe thank you so much for your kind words. We truly appreciate your kindness and support 😊❤️😊❤️
We’re so happy 😃 you’re enjoying our videos. In case you didn’t hear we’re going Live this coming Monday 4am PST (US time zone). We’ll do it again on Wednesday as well at the same time.

@@TripTipsPodcast looking forward I definitely want to watch your live😃😃
@@LykaAlbarracin thanks 😊
Finn Snow has a Yatch in Dawin Cebu and a big house also..he settledin Cebu wd her filipina fiancé
👍👍
True from Florida 3ppl cruise to Alaska 16thousand dollars for 13days. True very expensive being American. But I love my land America today.
👍👍
FINN SNOW has his own YACHT now which sometimes being used by NAT-GEO ( National Geographic by ATTENBOROUGH)
Wow that’s amazing 🤩
Wow that’s so cool!
Im gonna plan now to go there. Is that El Nido Palawan? Island.
Yes I believe so
Come and have a second base here in PH. Do your RVs and vlog travels here like Trifate. They also discover PH through SB19. Filipinos will support your channel :)
That’s the plan for this November
Guys the reason why its a bit cheap for the items he bought is because the items aren't really original mostly imitations like sunglasses even in philippines original rayban will cause you $100bucks+ sandals example nike origianl cause cause $30bucks but being realistic you can buy thus imitations for your travel needs miat of it atill looks like original just choose the item and doesnt make a difference when wearing them.
As long as they work that’s all that matters to me
The best thing about the liquor and beer in the Philippines is it’s cheap, strong and tastes good. A 375ml bottle of Tanduay rum is $1 at 40%. Red horse beer is 8% and $1.5 for 500ml. But most popular Filipino beer is San Miguel Pale Pilsen at 5%. Also make sure to eat sizzling Sisig as your appetizer while drinking. Truly Filipino experience. Pork in the Philippines is amazing.
Can’t wait 😜
What he bought were knock-offs so it was cheap, just a disclaimer.😊 And in Manila, it can be sold for half the price than in Palawan (goods are generally pricier in destination places like Palawan, Boracay) because they do cater to tourists.
Thanks for the info!
finn snow is almost filipino citizen because his future wife is filipina.and he will known as her member of FIGHTER BOYS.
That’s amazing. Finnsnow has the life
I notice in the US the "Good morning!" is like a robot greeting you, but the "Good morning!" in Filipino accent is like a song. ❤ "Good morniiiiiiing 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Lmao 🤣
😅
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES... tHAT IS CALLED GOOD MORNING WITH LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEE..😍😍😍😍😍
😃😃😃
lols because its “More Love In The Philippines”.
El Nido is the best place to be❤❤❤
Looks like it ❤️🤩
7 minutes into the video and please take note that Imitation products is very common here, like that "supreme" sandals is most likely locally made imitation so it should be cheap, you can actually feel the difference of most imitations if compared to an original one.
Ok thanks 😊
I guess it was imitation.. china made..😂
I love US made .. expensive yet quality...❤❤❤
Fr Philippines ❤❤❤
There’s no such thing as US made these days, almost everything in the US right now is CHINA made, even cars and iPhones. But they are quality controlled
