The beauty about Bantayan Island is that, unlike Boracay and El Nido, it is not overly commercialized, which adds to the allure of the place, especially for locals who relish the fact that it is more private and rustic an environment. Thank you for sharing! Blessings!
hello, Im from Bantayan Island and I met you at the café at santa fe. thank you for visiting our island I just also want to add additional information hehe, Bantayan Island is composed of 3 different municipalities Bantayan Proper, Madridejos and Santa Fe (which you are staying). It’s so sad you were not able to visit the 2 other municipalities in the island we have here the 2nd oldest church in the philippines and also the fort (look out) when the spaniards came. and alsoo we don’t speak tagalog here, most people can understand tagalog but we have different dialect which is “Bisaya” hehe. I hope you can visit again soon to show you how beautiful and historic our Island and the different municipalities is. ❤
Hi Nyss... thanks for commenting and it was nice to meet you. We didn't have enough time to explore everything as we had limited days and... we'll something else happened that you'll see in the next video - Anna
Again, I think it’s really awesome when you randomly meet someone who follows your channel and get to chat like you were able to do in this video. Can’t wait for more content!
I'm glad you like our little city of Cebu. Going back to home after 33 years in the USA. Staying mostly in Cebu and a few days in Bohol and 4 days in Phuket on our way back. Cheers and safe travels.
Hello happy couple enjoy explore beautiful beach in bantayan and your nice hotel .I like Halo Halo enjoy vacation my country Philippines god bless stay safe
Hi guys oh wow the beach is just breathtaking 🥰 absolutely beautiful. The white sand is so awesome and it looks very clean. I’m imagining myself there right now 😂😂
Hello! Im so glad our Island is getting some recognition!I hope you enjoy(ed) your stay!!Also Safe Travels!! -Someone from Bantayan! some info-> Bantayan is made out of 3 municipalities as someone said,Bantayan Proper is the biggest municipality while Santa Fe is the smallest.I reccomend trying diff restaurants when you explore more! I recommend you guys try Kermit's!(If you havent) its the most popular restaurant,My favourite food/Dish is probably their baked spaghetti!Its delicious,Again Safe travels & Enjoy your stay at our ISLAND!!❤
Nice to watch your videos. Lots of information. Love the laid back more raw type of videos you guys make. What a treat for the Texan guy to see you where he lives. ❤
I was in bantayan last week. Had a great time with my partner. Such a beautiful place. We stayed in jellyshaven resort nice. Too bad I didn’t see you guys
Try and visit Siquijor island. If you want to live a simple life with laid back vibes away from a hustle and bustle of city life rgat is the island in central visayas.
If you prefer a rural life you can live but if you are used to live in urban areas and can't live with new technology it will be difficult. For vacation for a few days like maybe a week the most to explore that will be fine.
The game of basketball is very popular in the Philippines..everywhere u go in u can definitely see a basketball court!...in small island like Bantayan if u see some smoke is bec. they usually burned those leaves morning or night to gid rid of insects especially mosquitos!I missed living in an island theres no place like home👍🇵🇭🇵🇭
Bantayan island looks isolated in terms of nice beaches, but truely it is accessible when you like island hopping or wanna go to Cebu mainland or Negros island province or Panay island.
Looks super quiet there. That’s the kinda places I fall in love with. Nothing better then a gorgeous beach with no people. I guess that makes me kind of selfish 🤷🏻♂️ I’m good with it though 😂
I have live in cordova Cebu for 14 years and I absolutely hate it. The driving is horrible as filipino drivers are wthe worst ever. There is trash everywhere, plastic bags , bottles and much more. Men urinate evrywhere and it stinks, only place on earht thats WORSE is INDIA.. That being said if you come to the RP for a vacation it is easy to say wow a nice place, but to live here is a different story.
Mike and Bianca are in Iloilo guys they are a Canadian couple maybe you can meet up with them if you go to Iloilo they are also looking for a place to settledown or become a farmer over there nice beaches where ever you go guys take care...
When you're in a province expect that it's not complete stuff. You can find those things in city in Metro Manila not in provinces. Always pay in cash and not in credit card. When my family had a vacation in a northern part we always pay in cash.
For $50 CAD you can hire a boat to hop to 3 different islands off Bantayan including the beautiful Virgin islands, a super white beach and a nature reserve.

Looking for a nice place to live? with cool weather all year round, 1 and1/2 hour to the La Union beach, 4 hours from Manila, and more quiet surrounding, the place called Baguio. There's also a lot of beaches in the north of the country.
right on, 👍 [*i'm on my way now 🎵oohhh ..... 🎶 i'm on my way now, oohhh .....] check out siargao isle 🏝 kinda touristy, but def. a growing area for dig. nomads!
Great video, love this place. Curious as a Canadian, which credit card + bank do u prefer for traveling? U may have said scotiabank in prev. videos, cant remem…
Filipino dream outside Philippines to go back and live a simple life. I do, few more years till retirement and will cheers to MY dream. And halo halo here is $5.99. Watching from San Francisco CA 🇺🇲. 🫶🇵🇭🌞.
Glad to see you checked out Bantayan Island. It is a beautiful place and as you said is a little quieter than most places. I forgot to mention Siquijor Island maybe you have time to check it out, was there in 2018 amazing Island. I hope the weather changes for you guys it is so much better with the nice hot sun. Love your Philippines adventures.
Yes That What I Said in the Previous Comments a Lot of Foreigners Vloggers Live THE Island And A lot of Restaurants to Choose Vegan or Not and Right by The Beach and it’s Affordable…. ✌️👍
People in Bantayan also speak another language, called Bantayanon, way different from Cebuano, a mix of Hiligaynon, Cebuano and others. I'm Cebuano myself and can't understand some words.
NO Don’t MIXED iT 😂😅😂 I Don’t LIKE MY HALO HALO MIX COZ IT TURN TO BE SLUSHY and ITS NOT FUN TO EAT IT ANYMORE 😅😂I LIKE TO PICK THE INGREDIENTS ONE BY ONE 😅😂😅…. IF YOU GO BACK TO MANILA THE BEST HALO HALO IS IN MANILA HOTEL THE BEST BUT PRICEY ✌️✌️👍👍👌🙌🙏🇺🇸
But it has everything and spacious. The native hut near the beach Jumping places rented was $45 old and very rustic. It even had a mold smell when they first came in.
We did stay in the DR for 8 months!! I think it depends on the place. Although if we were in one place we’d probably still take shorter trips here and there 😂 - Anna
Simple life, maybe. I’m a Filipino American an I can honestly say life here is boring and it’s people aren’t nice. Most part in America is more boring, all you see is cornfield and farmland.

Malapascua in cebu is also nice place and beaches
Was the food as good as others spots in the Philippines? Love your adventures!
Not as good as the cities no - Anna

Bantayan island looks isolated in terms of nice beaches, but truely it is accessible when you like island hopping or wanna go to Cebu mainland or Negros island province or Panay island.
It looks very interesting.
So is!
There are foreigners who live in Bantayan for such a long time. Check it out around the island
We met lots yeah - Trevor
I could leave there easily but Mario is a city boy. He wouldn’t live there even retired😂. Thanks for sharing! Viviane
We’re also city folks as well. Totally get it! - Anna
According to a background music. I am my way now ! ….. I am my way now living simple life in the Philippines 🇵🇭😂😂😂🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Continue to explore Tevor & Anna. a lot of beautiful places in the Philippines much cheaper ❤️❤️❤️👍👍
We will!
I enjoy your youtubes.
Nice idol
You should go to Malapascua. Its just nearby!
Bantayan island is known to be cebu's egg basket or even the visayas egg basket.
Bohol or Dumaguete would be a good place for you stay as a simple place..
Looks super quiet there. That’s the kinda places I fall in love with. Nothing better then a gorgeous beach with no people. I guess that makes me kind of selfish 🤷🏻♂️ I’m good with it though 😂
Yeah it was a whole different kind of 'slow pace' here Matty. It's awesome! 👍 - Trevor
I have live in cordova Cebu for 14 years and I absolutely hate it. The driving is horrible as filipino drivers are wthe worst ever. There is trash everywhere, plastic bags , bottles and much more.

That being said if you come to the RP for a vacation it is easy to say wow a nice place, but to live here is a different story.
FYI bantayan is part of cebu province so its still part of cebu enjoy ur stay and have a nc day ahead :)

They were the best! - Trevor
For $50 CAD you can hire a boat to hop to 3 different islands off Bantayan including the beautiful Virgin islands, a super white beach and a nature reserve.
I like chicken adobo made from culled layer chickens they're not as tender and need to be cooked much longer but a lot tastier.

PBA Philippine Basketball Association is the second oldest basketball league next to NBA😊
Good to know! - Trevor
Wow wow wow 😯 Philippines!👌😪😂🤑😱
🤗
If you're REALLY thinking of if whether to stay in the Philippines or not, try BGC or Makati.
We've been to both. Great spots! - Trevor
GO LIVE IN SIARGAO ISLAND TREVOR AND ANNA , SO MANY FOREIGNERS LIVE IN THIS ISLAND YOU RIGHT BY THE BEACH 🏖 ✌️👍👌🙌👍👍💕🇺🇸
Go to dumaguete city since you are already in Cebu take the ferry
Please include iloilo city😊
Will have to be another trip! - Trevor
Boracay would be also good!
Next trip maybe
Basketball is the most popularsports int the Philippines.
That's rural life. Even animals have the freedom to express their feelings🐕🦺🐒🐱🐎🐖🐔🐓 🤗 we must envy 😊😁. We are the one who invade their privacy.
Perfect for you to live simply is in Siargao Guys.......
Some day we'll get there!
Yes That What I Said in the Previous Comments a Lot of Foreigners Vloggers Live THE Island And A lot of Restaurants to Choose Vegan or Not and Right by The Beach and it’s Affordable…. ✌️👍
Halo halo with corn flakes on it🤔🧐 You eat the corn flakes right away because when it get saggy your halo halo is not good anymore.👍♥️
A first timer eating halo halo sighs "the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets". The guy on the other side exclaims "mix it, stupid!".
That’s a different variety of halu-halo (mix-mix in English).
Should have leche flan 🍮, ice cream, jackfruit.
Maybe you must met kulas the becoming Pilipino blog from Canada
We have not!
👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🥰
🤗
Halo halo. You have to mix it first
haha we know!
30cms so far here today. Could be worse haha!
Yikes! 😬 Snow day though woohoo - Trevor
MABUTI
For me i Didn't Mix it..haha
I enjoyed watching your vlog nice couple 👫 stay safe❤❤❤❤❤
🤗
nice! btw, people from cebu or in that region speak 'cebuano', not tagalog.
People in Bantayan also speak another language, called Bantayanon, way different from Cebuano, a mix of Hiligaynon, Cebuano and others. I'm Cebuano myself and can't understand some words.
NO Don’t MIXED iT 😂😅😂 I Don’t LIKE MY HALO HALO MIX COZ IT TURN TO BE SLUSHY and ITS NOT FUN TO EAT IT ANYMORE 😅😂I LIKE TO PICK THE INGREDIENTS ONE BY ONE 😅😂😅…. IF YOU GO BACK TO MANILA THE BEST HALO HALO IS IN MANILA HOTEL THE BEST BUT PRICEY ✌️✌️👍👍👌🙌🙏🇺🇸
Halo2x is mixmix we called halo2x
I’m retired and I know I couldn’t live there. 😂
beware of Philippine storms at least twice a month, my advice? live somewhere else....(really)
We've been here close to a month. Zero storms - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers nah, it's doesn't matter at least you're on high ground
@@DelightfulTravellers typhoon season is usually from June to December
🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭
😀
thats expensive for 50 usd hehe
But it has everything and spacious. The native hut near the beach Jumping places rented was $45 old and very rustic. It even had a mold smell when they first came in.
I kinda doubt you guys can stay in one country for an extended period of time.
We did stay in the DR for 8 months!! I think it depends on the place. Although if we were in one place we’d probably still take shorter trips here and there 😂 - Anna
😂
D halo halo is definitely not d traditional one!
Was still great! - Trevor
Yes! We can live a simple life just like the 8 miles from home in the island of siargao they buy land using mother in law’s name.
🤙
Simple life, maybe. I’m a Filipino American an I can honestly say life here is boring and it’s people aren’t nice. Most part in America is more boring, all you see is cornfield and farmland.
