Prior to Covid I have made many trips to the Philippines and fell in love with Cebu City. There is a hotel called The Galleria I stayed in, that was connected to a Robinson's mall as well as a new, modern condo complex. You could live in the condos, have dinner at the restos in the mall and grocery shop without ever leaving the air conditioning! Perfect for a heat sensitive westerner like me. At the time I was looking (2019) prices were only slightly less than US prices, but that may have changed. You should do a video about the process and funds needed to buy a condo as an expat. It is much different than the US. Awaiting the day when I can return to visit.
You hit the nail on the head. I used to struggle with whether I wanted to live in the city or in the province. But now I am certain I want condo living in Manila, right across the street from a large SM or Robinson's mall. I don't want to be anywhere near crowing roosters, barking dogs, or loud karaoke music. Plus regular swimming in the condo pool seems very refreshing. And ofcourse I can always travel to the province when its time for a getaway. This is a really good video and I enjoy all of your content.
I'm with you on that Daniel. Perhaps the best part about living in Manila is the modern conveniences plus you can visit the province whenever you please. At least for me, I get sick of living in the province very quickly so it's more of a once and a while thing for me. Btw, new video on Patreon 💯
Living in a province and visiting the cities, I prefer the cities. For me, provinces are much much cheaper, but the cities offer much more to do. If a quiet and humdrum lifestyle is what you want, look into a province.
Evan, another great job of addressing what concerns most expats the most: medical care, internet, night life and a variety of comfort foods found in the U.S. Hey, if you can find a Texas Roadhouse, that pretty much satisfies the palate. Oh, yes, you can find a little bit of Americana almost anywhere these days and that is sooo cool. Way to go bro, you keep me yearning to get over there. 🇵🇭😁✌🏾
My wife and I have a home in Silang, Cavite because she knows that I prefer the country environment more than the city life. Her side of the family lives in Meycauayan, Bulacan. I'm very happy where we live even if it is only 19km (about 12 miles) away from the Taal Volcano which I got to witness the eruption on January 12, 2020 at a safe distance. We did get lots of ashfall there and I lost count of all the volcanic earthquakes that we had. After all of that I still wouldn't change where we have our house except if we were on the beach or in the mountains but my wife doesn't like being high up so the mountains would be out plus they're far from so many places like grocery stores.
Tuli, I have a small condo in Manila and a nice home in the Province of Marinduque. We can live very cheaply and still live like a king. We have great hospitals in Manila and decent clinics in the province. Our wifi is decent. English is a great advantage in both areas. Traffic is terrible in Manila but not bad in the province. The night life and eating out is great in both areas. Tuli, thanks for sharing. Stay blessed and stay safe.
Im from Iloilo city but i would say that Tagaytay/Cavite will be best suited for foreign/expat people who wud want to live in the Philippines bcz of its cool fresh and clean environment and very close to manila
Very much enjoying your vlog...I had the good fortune to live in the PI during my teen years and am married to a Filipino. We travel often to the PI but obviously not during these past two years--am missing time spent there greatly! Your vlog is informative and creative--keep up the good work you Savvy Young Person you!!!
You said that St. Lukes can be expensive and you're right, it CAN be but when you compare the prices to USA, it is a joke! I saw 2 doctors and received care from 4 nurses, bought medication all for $100. It is a LARGE amount in PH but a bargain in the US
@@TheSavvyExpat Oh absolutely! It is VERY affordable. Chemotherapy there is only $60-100 (in PH) compared to whatever outrageous prices we have in the US. A doctors visit is easily 150-200, then they want you to see a specialist which adds up, then meds (if your insurance covers it...if not, expect to pay more). There is a reason why many Americans go to Mexico for treatment/medication!
@@kantokuu It's free in America if you have Medical Medicare. And even if u don't they will not kill u to pay. Many their bill gets wiped out coz unable & just file.
Don't over look Cavite. It has all the conveniences of Manila being close by but with housing costs a little bit cheaper in a suburbia type setting. At least check it out.
Thank you for another insightful vlog, I'm not a fan of large cities, outside of Cebu has come to mine, Maasin City area possibly Naga City area, I'm not sure yet I just want a simple life, keep up the great work
How easy is it to live in such a huge city such as Manila, are there sny quiet areas enjoyed by older people? Where can you live that's not in the middle of the skyscrapers, quiet and green? Cebu City sounds like a better, quieter choice.
My husband wants to bring our young family to the Philippines. We have five young boys, and I homeschool. He wants us to find something quiet, with trees and friendly neighbors. We don’t care about malls or nightlife. We do appreciate natural wonders. Where should we be looking?
Hmmm, the air pollution in Manila but you show a shot of San Francisco, I can see the famous Transamerica Pyramid and the Salesforce Tower, that ain't Manila.
@@TheSavvyExpat No biggie, not sure many people will notice it, but I lived in the SF Bay Area, home of 49ers who regularly kicked the Bears butts, but I regress. Keep up the good work on the vids
I stayed in Makati in 2016, didn’t care for the traffic and pollution in Manila and food prices, rent and RE prices were the same if not more than the US….. isn’t that why expats move there? Yes I realize everything is dirt cheap in the province but I also don’t want to hear roosters at 4am. Lots of expats moving to Vietnam which I’m going to try as well.
Nice review thank you. All of those places you mentioned might be attractive for different reasons. For us, Davao makes the most sense. Decent American-ish type schools for an American pre-teen, although learning Filipino/Bisayan will be a bit of a challenge. Might be a bit easier in Manila. Davao has good universities. Plenty of resto's. Less pollution. More for your money. Sustaining a high quality of life for many years in retirement is easier there than in other places you mentioned where you would probably live in a condo with lots of nearby neighbors. You can own a big house in a Davao gated community, beach or mountains (provided you are married to a filipina). Davao will soon be passing up Cebu in population and development, it already landwise is the biggest city in the Philippines. But I like Manila and Cebu, no hate, just different reasons for different age groups and their "plan" for life.
Sounds expensive ? Perhaps even frivolous ? --- Yet it's surely cheaper than Chicago ? --- Or NYC or LA ? --- Many however are looking for the real budget savings often so famously reported ? --- Dumaguete which is a famous retirement destination for several years attracts many and for good reasons. And it certainly is much less of a 'snobby' place to retire !
I need 2 homes. One in the north and another in the south. So I can move back and forth if there is typhoon. But I need these places to have an international airport and good internet connection (for work). Any recommendations?
@@TheSavvyExpat awesome looking forward to it. My wife has family here and we have a beach condo in Panglao and all I have seen is an influx of expats and tourists. Pretty soon my private sanctuary won’t be so private. Oh well….
My father has decided to live in Davao City. Left retirement a little late. 78😅 but he's lived in Phillipines before and my auntie is going to help him set up. He should be fine.
Yes, EXPATS those are the best Cities to live and Retire. Iloilo, Cebu and Davao. Don’t forget MANILA, stay there and move there. Thank you for promoting Manila! 👍
How can one have a peacefull life in the province if there are roosters crowing, dogs barking, and karaoke ? I always thought the cities were the noisiest. I'm a country boy so I like peace. Is this possible in the Philippines ?
That ship on the side of the island probably a ship for smuggling drugs. I remember when i went to Iloilo with my girlfriend and we went to ukay ukay (used clothings for sale) there are brand new bras but all of them has hole on the side and i suspect drugs was sewed inside the bra and sold the bras after recovering the drugs. Thats how they smuggled drugs in the Philippines.
For me, if you want to live in a big city, just stay in the USA. If I want traffic, smog, and crime I don’t need to move anywhere. The smaller communities and more secluded beaches or diving spots, waterfalls, hiking are what I am looking for. The downside is definitely the goddam roosters though.
My wife's brother lives in Chicago under a bridge. He is a veteran and cousin of a famous Hall of Fame Chicago Bear. He says bullets ricochet past his tent all night. Unbelievably, this is the life he chooses. At least, that's what he says.
@@Resmith18SR I feel the same way, but I want a beach and at 73 I don't like crowds. But now four years after liver cancer surgery and other problems I would be stupid not to want access to the best hospitals. But like you said it Has to open up with no restrictions.
If I lived in in one of those high rise buildings BGC and someone from the USA mailed me a package would it be delivered to my address and how long would it take if it was shipped with ups of FedEx
We use to go to Florida every year after the Christmas holidays for a month. There was a Chinese buffet where five couples would meet at lunch. They all lived about a mile away and would walk to the restaurant. Over several years they dwindled down to none of them showed up. Then one year the Chinese restaurant had been torn down. Then we stopped going to the Daytona Beach area, because it had become to dangerous. A quiet, friendly place like near the old military base sounds like a good place to start looking when it opens up with no restrictions.
For years I have wondered what was going on with Elon Musk's Boring company. It seemed that all tunnels went to Denver International Airport and under the sea by the Naval Base North of Los Angeles. Comment number 3.
You wonder how disgusting thing like Denver International Airport can exists in the United States. And then you wonder is this the country the media and propaganda have shown the world or something else. Comment number 4.
I walked into our local Walmart about 2 AM maybe eight years ago. They were doing some digging in the middle of the building. I couldn't exactly see what was going on, but a large area was ribboned off with guards posted all around stopping anyone from going in the area. I have built some Walmarts and we never had any guards. Comment number 5
Much too extravagant to be "Savvy" in Manila for most American's looking for frugal (?) which many see as synonyms with "Savvy" ? -- Those from only the expensive areas in the US see it as 'affordable' ? Places like Chicago NY or LA. - - - Essentially the only places really "affordable" or cheap to live - are in the undesirable places for the most part ? - - - Saving $ is a high risk adventure over there w/o a small fortune put back for any emergency's ?
I don’t think your color matters as much as your attitude. Filipinos can be intimidated, angered or scared easily by things you might think is nothing. So you can’t be dominating, aggressive or rough in your actions.
Maybe your opinion on the top 3 places is influenced by you being from Chicago- I am from just outside of Chicago. Maybe you are too young to understand this subject - I strongly disagree with your opinion on what retirees (expats) are looking for. I have spent quite a bit of time with business in all 3 places you list, and I believe these places are actually the worst that the Philippines have to offer, and I have no expat friends that disagree with me. Maybe you like Manila and Cebu City because of your Chicago influence, and Clark? Have you spent any time there at all?
Understandable Kim. Well this list is in general for most expats which is why most expats do live in these areas. Again, it comes down to personal preference. You may be the type to prefer more provincial areas. In that case, my list would be - iloilo, dumaguete, and bacolod from my latest research.
So I just stumbled on to your channel and honestly I’m a big confused. Are you a realtor in the Philippines selling property? You seem to be awful young !
title's clickbait? no "manilla/luzon"? devils in the details, bro. camera's usually too close to your face; you're a good looking dude, but counting nose hairs aint fun, jus saying....n those videos of that small sample group of 8 random (largely ignorant) people bashing the states is annoying for those same reasons. cheers though~

What is the comparison between expats moving yo the Philippines versus so many Filipinos moving to the US and Canada???
How do expats handle the constantly high heat and humidity in the Philippines, and the fear of hurricanes and monsoons??
How can one have a peacefull life in the province if there are roosters crowing, dogs barking, and karaoke ?
I always thought the cities were the noisiest. I'm a country boy so I like peace. Is this possible in the Philippines ?
It absolutely is possible. It depends on where you are living. Beach areas from my experience are the most peaceful.

I don’t think your color matters as much as your attitude. Filipinos can be intimidated, angered or scared easily by things you might think is nothing. So you can’t be dominating, aggressive or rough in your actions.

title's clickbait? no "manilla/luzon"? devils in the details, bro. camera's usually too close to your face; you're a good looking dude, but counting nose hairs aint fun, jus saying....n those videos of that small sample group of 8 random (largely ignorant) people bashing the states is annoying for those same reasons. cheers though~
I don't like Manila
The house's are SUPER expensive!!! Good luck getting any house for under 200k that isn't a shack 🤣
