My name is Kevin. I hope you will enjoy my videos of my great new life of early retirement in Dumaguete in the Philippines. Come along on my island hopping trips to beaches, snorkeling, mountains, waterfalls and other Philippine destinations. I’ll introduce you to friends, so you can learn about dating, finding a place to live, restaurants, and best places to buy groceries

Listen to all the roosters, I didn't ever get use to that everyday all-day long,non stop. And everyone has them,not to mention the same for the dogs.
I’m not sure, because of the jungle BUT I think the neighbor raises fighting roosters
The dogs and the roosters would drive me nuts.
Yes, you’re right Dave
Time has changed alot. In 1987 I was paying $35 a month $5 water and $5 for a maid in Cebu for a 2 bedroom apartment. Back then all rental property came with a maid or housekeeper...it was a great service because she did all the chores and shopping
WOW! That sounds awesome
You can still get apartments in the Philippines for $250-$1200 a month good apartments that’s still cheaper than usa in usa on average people are spending dam near 3,000 a month for rent or mortgage
@@jamalgreen3056 ...the thing about the Philippines is there is no value for money..the $250 apartment is not going to be much. I agree that the rent is high everywhere in the US but in the Philippines there is too much to sacrifice living there. The upside is that I have two houses in Mexico and California worth over $850,000 and I would bet my life that No one on any channel has anything worth that in the Philippines.i watched a expat build a house for $189,000 in the Philippines...1200 sq ft...and I paid $84,000 for my house in Mexico that is 5200 sq ft...
Another awesome video!
Good job, Kevin.!!!
Thanks Mike, we appreciate it!
300 meters and 100 roosters . Most pizza joints here do not require you to beat the flies away either.
Welcome to $Dumaguete$
I use to live just down from that beach and there is a shallow reef just off of that beach with great Coral and lots of fish.
Wow! That’s great to know….thanks Thomas, that makes it an even better place
Been coming to the Philippines for over 30 years & have come to the conclusion there is not a good pizza to be had anywhere. I think a 5 rating was pretty generous.
Hahaha, no argument from me😉
From what I've gathered if you want 🍕pizza🍕 in the Philippines you will have to make it yourself. Meaning you will need to get flour, yeast, salt, warm water, tomato sauce, toppings of your choice, and of course mozzarella cheese if you can find it.
There are many great pizza places near us in Tagaytay. Amare La Cucina and Mario Mio. Far better than any places in America.
Really great place and nice little beach 🏝️ your really living the good life 👍👍👍
I am really loving life Ty. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
Nice place looking forward to seeing this place when I come to Dumaguete for my first time from Canada to meet my girlfriend and her family from lalibertad
Thanks for watching John! We’ll see if this one is still there by then. Most of the the homes get rented in 2-3 days after I post the video
House looks nice like Jennalyn you two are cute. Thanks for sharing.
☺️thanks
Anything by a beach in the Philippines is extremely hot and humid with intense sun. Add Typhoons to mix and it’s worse. Best to live inland in higher elevations and cooler climates as Tagaytay or near Baguio. Also the monsoons dissipate so a lot safer. High ground with good drainage and concrete reinforced river runoffs down stream. Dumaguete offers nothing other than a few restaurants.
We are heading to Baguio for 4 nights tomorrow. I am looking forward to it 😉
We live in Baguio....there are positives and negatives everywhere. Baguio is a place of approx. 400k residents but gets 1.2 million visitors. We feel small earth quakes all the time...and you have landslides. Not to mention what you can get for 100k is 400k in Baguio. This is the place where all the rich Filipino business owners by houses so prices are sky high. Often times equal or higher than the US. We lived on the beach in Florida and were shocked Baguio prices. Much of it is insanity.
Thanks to you and Jena Lynn my friend.. I am a poet and don't know it😮hehe
I love all of you all's videos and especially the rental videos.. hello from south Louisiana and I will see you all soon😊😊
Thanks for watching as always Richard! Would you do me a favor? If you can find a small bag of masa(used to make tortillas) I will owe you BIG TIME! I told a friend of mine who owns a Mexican restaurant that I would bring her some back, but my luggage weighed too much and I thought the humidity would get to it if I put it in a balikbayan box for 3 months. I’ll pay you back
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 no problem 👍
THANKS!!!!🙏🏻
Both of your food looked good! Thanks Kevin & Jennalyn!
Thanks for watching Joseph! We appreciate it😉
I really enjoyed your video.. good information.. 😁😁
Thanks Rick!
Always interesting to watch 👍
Thank you very much!😉
Great video, see you guys in February
Sounds good, let us know when you get in😉
I like the bathroom..it's big compared to other I have seen
It is a good size, and I like the wall keeping the water out
They're blackouts, not brownouts..... :) :) thanks for sharing!
They are called brownouts in the Philippines. Thanks for watching 😉
Buy portable power station man, brown out solve
Camera work getting mucho better 😎 Good vlog ✌🏽
Thanks! I also got an iPhone 15 when I went back to the states. It’s got a great camera. We’re leaving on a 4 day trip today. I will probably do the golf course next Saturday or Sunday if you’re still interested. I believe the green fees with cart were $36
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 Nice! All I need is your Paypal
JC, long story short…I will be videoing the golf course 3 pm Monday afternoon. You would not believe what I had to go through to do it….they actually tried to double the price because “I would be making money off of the video”. I got it worked out, but it took driving 45 minutes to another property to meet face to face with their GM. Fortunately, her bark was worse than her bite in person
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 yowzers! Glad to hear you got it all worked out. Quite the adventure! If I was there I'd buy ya a beer or two or three 🍻🍺
I like the resort!
👍🏻 thanks for watching Daniel!
Jennalyn's English is very good!
Thanks! It’s getting better everyday 😉
I ordered taxi cab pizza in cebu and it was very good
Yes, Yelloe Cab pizza is one of the best and I think on Monday they have a buy one get one free
Nice Video !!! Regards Erwin Zado
Thanks for watching Ervin! We appreciate it
We just signed the lease and paid the deposit. Bf is originally from USA but living in Philippines for 8 yrs. Spent months looking at places in Dumas, val, Darin and Sam, looked at about 50 places. Many are in old and run down condition or very close to actual rooster farms or slaughterhouses or other noisy commercial ops. Some are new but poor quality. Many r just too small. Rarely something good pops up, we see the listing the first day and bam it's gone before we can even see it. The supply of bigger, better quality places is so low. There is an actual wait list for some of the better places and when one of those becomes available it goes to the next person on the list. We got this for 25k. A new air con will be ins t called in the LR. Adjoining ots are empty. This place is a very good quality brand new build and given the market today and our months of looking we r happy w our choice. Thanks to Alma and Angel for helping us find this and enduring all of our months of looking.
Autocorrect - Dauin and Zamb not Darin and Sam lol
👍🏻
$518 for this place seems high but I think it's good value for someone who is not really on a tight budget.
Welcome to $Dumaguete$. It’s negotiable….and I would negotiate it, especially since they want a 1 year lease
She is so funny...they way she explained the food...it was like she was grading it for the whole Filipino population 😅😅😅😅😅 it doesn't have flavor until you drip in the soy sauce...I don't think I seen a original made pizza in the Philippines especially the cheese..I don't know what is going on with cheese in the Philippines.. maybe because of not using whole milk
That was actually a reshoot on her food review, and she changed it DRAMATICALLY…..that’s why I commented….her original score was NOT a 7.5
The ”cheese” is not really cheese it’s made with oil not any dairy products. And you have to be careful because a lot of the “milk” is not really milk either.
My wife grew up in Nicaragua and will NEVER eat ground meat, even in the US.
I think that the price is good..but I noticed that the apartment in the Philippines seems to have the same layout..just standard floor plan.
Yes, everything is pretty much looks the same
Personally, if I'm gonna rate and compare a restaurant pizza to a frozen pizza - "Delisio" is the brand I find to be closest to my liking of a traditional pizza.
This was actually almost like a Red Baron pizza. That’s why I chose that brand.
I've either been single to long or I need my eyrs checked, because that mannequin with the red dress was nice😅.
😂
Big place.
Yeah, even 2 people could be comfortable there
Definitely hard to find good pizza in the Philippines.
Yes sir
I wouldn’t need hot water on my tap if I am leaving in the Philippines. Is already hot enough 😂
Thanks for watching! It’s not fun to shave with cold water though
Cold water on tap in the Philippines? lol
Sorry the house not worth it...18000 is more like it not 28000
Welcome to Dumaguete
Ty
Everything is a negotiation in the Philippines. I am going to say this is a little high…I have found most prices are 15-30% what there bottom line price is.
Idk why y’all Americans complain 28000pesos is still affordable for us 28,000 pesos not $1,000 usd not even $600 usd a month tell me where u can live in the usa for $508 usd a month no where🤔
@@jamalgreen3056 Your point? By the way you actually can find rentals for that price and we are not talking about the USA. If you want to talk about the differences between a developing country and the United States and why the Philippines should be cheaper if you want to attract expats, we can. A fraction of those here would be if we were paying US prices. Just a heads up, a serious portion of the GDP is supplemented by Billions of dollars entering the Philippines economy each year from remittance. This does not include the expats in the Philippines and the jobs and money we bring in to local communities. Now, Serious issues exist and apart of daily life for expats are often disregarded by locals. It’s frustrating, and I am tired of some attempting to charge foreigners what it costs us in the United States. With no regard what we have to deal with in the Philippines. The laws are not in our favor. We are seen as a walking ATM. Everyone is attempting to capitalize on us, It’s not a great feeling. It’s overwhelming at times. You wonder why some expats stay in their homes…
That's a sad beach.
Hahaha, yeah but it’s a minute away & I found out that there is actually great snorkeling too
Thanks for the video. How do you think a traditional American Pizza place would do there? Would the Locals like it with traditional marinara and toppings?
Thanks for watching Bravo! It would do great in the Dumaguete area because of the high concentration of Americans. The locals would like it too, but one thing you have to consider is a good traditional pizza will cost 450-500 pesos. That’s a lot of money to most Filipinos
You can get better value for money, been here for 9 years, wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for that place..
Thanks for watching….welcome to $Dumaguete$ foreigners are driving up the prices MORE & MORE each month 😉
FYI: The floor fan is included.
🤔hmmmm….ok, I guess you know the tenant
that pizza looks pretty good
I enjoyed it😉
Apt is litte expensive but food looks good it great that waitress repeat the order make sure she get it right flipinoes love white rice i don't know why but they eat white rice with everything it be good that when they do eat white rice they eat it aslo with vegetables
Yes, unfortunately rents in $Dumaguete$ are getting more and more expensive every month
It would be safe to say that All Italian food in the Philippines is not up to par with what is original.
True
🤙
You can walk to the beach in 5 minutes
Kevin, Do you find that rent is higher in more populated expats area? I noticed that the cost of living seems much higher in these area.
Definitely! Dumaguete is higher than Cebu. I’d say Dumaguete has more expats(especially Americans) per capita than any other city in the Philippines
The roosters were pretty severe
Yes they were 😉. All of the windows and doors in the house were open. I’m sure it won’t be as bad once they are closed
Hey Kev, great job! Some questions: Am I wrong or is the rent for that place is more than what you are paying in your compound? The place is of good size and I like how the sounds are kept out. How far is it from the open market in Bacong? How do you kept dishes really clean without hot water? Bambulos is nice for a hangout close by with many options. Thanks!
Thanks as always for watching Remo😉. It’s actually 2K less than our house. Prices are steadily going up here in Dumaguete. It is negotiable…and I would negotiate. Best I can say on the dishes is to microwave your sponge to kill everything. It’s about 2 minutes north of the open market. There’s a good sushi restaurant and legit massage parlor(250 PHP/hour) at the national highway right by it too
You can just use the electric kettle for hot water
You have three options for creating hot water:
option #1 use the hot water from the bathroom
option #2 you can boil water on the stove
option #3 you can boil water in the microwave
Pardon me for having skipped around on the video (unfortunately I do NOT have too much time on my hands!), but I saw no mention of the rental amount for the unit. Could you please tell me how much it is, and the lease options (monthly/ annually, etc)? Thanks for the tour, much appreciated!
He breaks down the cost of rent at time interval 10:15
28,000 pesos and they want a one year lease.
Thanks Michael!!!
Tocino...is Spanish for Bacon
Yes, I saw it a little later and knew what it was. It’s a sweet bacon. Jennalyn makes it for breakfast every now and then
28K for that is waaaay too expensive.
Welcome to $Dumaguete$. It got rented out for 25K and the landlord installed an air conditioner in the living room
I think you missed the most important part, how many sqm is it? And how long and wide?
Thanks for watching! It just got rented😉
I’m moving over
Cmon over!!!
28,000 is INSANE. Have you seen what Mark Thornton pays 39K for ???
Yes, I am Mark Thornton’s next door neighbor. I pay 30K for a 2 bedroom 2 bath house in the same compound, BUT welcome to $Dumaguete$……it’s getting more and more expensive each month thanks to the influx of expats
28000 I sure hope they pay for all the electric with that price
Unfortunately not Jody, welcome to $Dumaguete$ . Prices are going up every month here. That price is negotiable….and I would definitely renegotiate
What restaurants are at and close to the mall?
There are a handful of local restaurants that are good 🤔you are probably 10 minutes from Robinson’s Mall and 14 minutes to Hyper Mart
Nice video, question how old is jennalyn
Thanks for watching Jenny. She is 22
Im interested be there in january but only for one month but i could live thier
Thanks for watching Chris! This will be long gone by then, but contact me before you get here. I know a place that would do a monthly rental that is actually right on the beach, almost next door to a restaurant and a sari sari store(Filipino convenience store) within a 100 meters
Ok will contact u in couple weeks
How do I reserve that apartments I’m moving there next month
I’m sorry, that was just rented. The agents contact info is in the video. I would reach out to her now
roosters, i dont hear no roosters.
Ha, then this place is perfect for you😉😂
Yeah, nah. Bloody roosters, dogs barking and kids noise are must NOT haves, along with neighbours not close.
That rented for 25K. They got an AC installed in the living room area
I think it's hilarious when you're wearing your girlfriends yellow hat
That’s actually my hat, that she wears sometimes. It’s the scales of a Mahi Mahi fish. It goes with my shirt which is the same
The girl seems bored and smiles only when he talks about going to eat in a restaurant.
Nice stomach on legs.
That’s because she’s always hungry 😂
What happened to the schnitzel?😢 🇩🇪
Sorry Robert, by the time we ordered…I completely forgot about it. I’ll get it the next time we are in a restaurant that serves it. It’s actually a very popular dish here
Roosters don't bother me. We raised chickens when I was a kid. If a rooster gets too annoying it's time for chicken stew. Problem solved!😊
👍🏻
28k ?? way too much..
Welcome to $Dumaguete$. It rented for 25K and they got an AC installed for the living room.
To expensive
Welcome to $Dumaguete$. Prices are going up every month
Thanks for the video but this place over priced
It rented for 25K, including a new AC in the living room….welcome to $Dumaguete$
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 wow that’s cool I never would have thought that
Way too much. 20k tops.....
24/7 war of the roosters.
I don't think I like that.
Kevin, tooo much distraction
Yes, there are a lot of roosters. I couldn’t see it, but I would bet the neighbor raises fighting roosters
Mate !!! You are being robbed !! 28k , no way ! You can get a 3 bed bungalow for 12k on the beach .. This property at the most is 10k a month anywhere in the province.. Donnot be taken a fool .. Shop around my friend .. Donnot sign that contract ... Check out negros Oxidental , 2 hour drive from that house..
Welcome to $Dumaguete$! It was rented for 25K and an air conditioner was installed in the living room
Like i said 10k per month is still all it is worth , especially living right next to someone else.
