I am planning to visit the Philippines for the first time, and cagayan de oro is going to be the first one I wanted to visit. Thanks for the video. The more I get to see it, the more I get hyped to go.
I just spent 10 days there. I stayed in Centrio Tower. Great breakfast place is CDO Hungry Breakfast. Kenny Rogers was horrible. Bigsby's was also good. Did all 3 of the malls and had a wonderful time. I will be moving permanently in early 2025. Probably spend the first year in Gingoog and then get a place in CDO Uptown.
I spent a few weeks in CDO back in 2022. In some ways it felt like a smaller Cebu. The Limketkai area near Robinsons was okay to stay in but I was always woken up by a nearby Mosque's call to prayer at 4:30am daily. The only area I liked was the uptown area, which was more modern. Saw quite a few expats around there at the condos and in the SM mall nearby. The downtown itself wasn't particularly nice.
I don’t hurt animals. 10 years vegan. I’m bigger and stronger and fitter on the plant based diet, and I don’t go to the gym. I’m not a killer. I don’t hurt the weak. I’m better than that. Proud ✅egan !! ✅❤️💪😬👱🏼♂️👩🏽🦍👍
We were just there in CDO for Christmas and New Year's with my wife's family. We live in Seattle USA but my wife is from there. I have been there 20 times and we built our house there and are almost done building our Beach Hotel there in between CDO and the Laguindingan airport in Opol Beach. Come back next year and stay at our boutique hotel called OHANA BEACH SUITES. LOVE CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY!!!
Props to your video formula. I notice the format and it works well. Preview, You speak the Intro, then Video. I like it. Oro is gold in Spanish by the way. There's a Cuban restaurant near me (been there forever) called El Gallo de Oro (The Golden Rooster). Great video. Enjoyed it👍
Have dinner at the Ridge, nice 180 degree view of the city. Amaya Resort during daytime is also a nice view of the city. Underrated FS Catanico Falls is only about 15 min drive from the CBD, but you need a local to go there.
Was in CDO during Sendong in 2011, big disaster. Cars ending up in trees and many body bags due to the typhoon. They even find a baby at sea in a coolbox.... Lots of adventures in Mindanao since early nineties. Nowadays it gets more popular!!!
Mortarrella wasn't so popular when i visited i thinkit dependson the area of the Philippines, mostly jeepney, tricycle with wagon or motor bike with side wagon is what i seen. For those that don't know Mortarrella is a bus hybrid with motor bike, a jeepney is a bus hybrid with a jeep truck.
My hometown in cgayan de Oro city mizamisoriental.i live from cgayan de Oro.we go there soon my home 🥰🫶🫶🫶🫶❤️🤠🤠🤠I see your video sir,in 2024.god bless you always sir thank you for visiting my home town province mizamisoriental 😮😮😮❤
Very cool Alex you went to Cagayan De Oro. My parents have a boarding house that someone is renting there. I might go there with my parents for my Mom's birthday coming up but it's a long drive to where we have to pass through and my parents are in their 70's and I don't have a Filipino drivers license yet so we are not so sure yet. If me and my parents go there we have to pass a city called Butuan which is about 1 hour and 20 minutes by car and 2 hours and 20 minutes by bus and then from there a dangerous 6 hour drive because buses and cars have to drive up mountains and I've seen a few accidents along the way there but Cagayan is a nice city to be in and it's convenient to just walk to the malls right next to each other
Hi..bro..that Cooke in a plastic bottle is difference to with a glass bottle is better delicious..goodluck bro for your adventuring Cagayan de Oro..take care always where ever you go..✌🏽♥️🙏🇵🇭
Is it possible to get a weekly or monthly rate at an air b&b cheaper than the daily rate. I haven't seen them advertised. Do you just ask and see if they offer it?
All I can say Wow Alex!! I'm also visiting from Canada. Out in Ozamiz City. Lol are you making your way down here from Cagayan de Oro not far. But tight budget. With only a few days left
Tickle your adrenaline by doing White Water Rafting in CDO. The view along the river is awesome. About 90 km away is Iligan City, the city of waterfalls. Iligan City has about 25 waterfalls within the city boundary but most of them are hard to access.
I had a ldr with a girl in CDO. I had to break it off realizing that I probably couldn't see her in person. She was a beautiful and nice woman. Even though it was closs to 20 years i still wonder what could've been or if shes still alive
Excellent video but I'm really disappointed those guys didn't take you up on the basketball challenge, I guess they're really not that hungry for Jolly Bee or else they're really scared of your skills and don't want to get humiliated!!!
@@Livingabroadalex Nah common, if they really wanted to play they would offer 2 on 1 half court, or they'd find someone to move that truck wich shouldn't be parked in the middle of the court anyways!!!
@@Livingabroadalex Thanks it's very interesting because I hear a lot of people complain about inflation in the Philipines but it seems that most of the prices are still pretty reasonable, don't you think so?
@amazonseller-yf8vv inflation here is real. Still good prices compared to US or Canada. BUT still really high for Philippines EVEN compared to just 4 or 5 years ago. This was just a half of a sour mango. Or a refilled soda
@@Livingabroadalex Thanks for the information, I'm an American living in Mosocw which is a very clean, modern and safe city of about 20 million people. I have a one roon Penhouse with floor to ceiling windows, a big loft, and all utiliities included for about $600 a month which actually seems a lot cheaper than what i'd get in BGC for eample. But Anways I hope to be over there by summer to check things out and consider living there. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I just left downtown cdo. It literally smells like a giant garbage waste site. Freaking gross. Nothing to see there nothing to do. Same food as everywhere else in ph .
You’re in Downtown Cagayan de Oro… go to Uptown also, it’s beautiful up there. Uptown Cagayan de Oro is my favorite place.
Tinuod na! Uptown Cagayan de Oro! Maayo gyud!
Sir Alex for the next visiting here in Cagayan de Oro you can visit Sm uptown Masterson is lot a beautiful view walking around near Masterson street.
Yessir! Will do 😊
Uptown is my favorite 😊
Visiting my favorite city in Philippines
You're just 2 hours from iligan City where I was talking to you about the other day where I see a foreigner maybe every 2 months or my
Beautiful place. I was there a few months ago
The place is rapidly modernizing.
I am planning to visit the Philippines for the first time, and cagayan de oro is going to be the first one I wanted to visit. Thanks for the video. The more I get to see it, the more I get hyped to go.

Wow. Sounds like a mission, but I'm sure it's worth it.
Yea I agree. Many places are within close range of each other
Sm mall area is nice
Dude, when you are in CDO, you got the best deicsion to ride shuttle to bring you to the airport, back and fort, the Magnum Express.
Hi..bro..that Cooke in a plastic bottle is difference to with a glass bottle is better delicious..goodluck bro for your adventuring Cagayan de Oro..take care always where ever you go..✌🏽♥️🙏🇵🇭
You're so right! And thank you
You are visiting my CDO ❤❤❤
Unlike any other cities in Mindanao, their Airport is not located within the city. It's from a different Municipality (town) called Laguindingan.
Visit Bukidnon too! Valencia and Malaybalay
There like 4 malls plus one uptown
Is it possible to get a weekly or monthly rate at an air b&b cheaper than the daily rate. I haven't seen them advertised. Do you just ask and see if they offer it?
All the units on airbnb offer a discount once you select a week or more. I ask for further discount by messaging the owner
All I can say Wow Alex!! I'm also visiting from Canada. Out in Ozamiz City. Lol are you making your way down here from Cagayan de Oro not far. But tight budget. With only a few days left
Awesome enjoy. This video is a few weeks old 😅
@@Livingabroadalex dang ok thx anyways
enjoy cagayan de oro ^_^
Should go to forest park near bukindon
Definitely next time
Tickle your adrenaline by doing White Water Rafting in CDO. The view along the river is awesome. About 90 km away is Iligan City, the city of waterfalls. Iligan City has about 25 waterfalls within the city boundary but most of them are hard to access.
I'd love to try next time!
I have been rafting in CDO in 2010 and wanted to visit again this year but it didnt came to that.
Their alot to do in cagayan dero not far to provinces
my goodness, tricycles still around since the 1970s. This is where I went to college.
Please visit our city Tandag city
Thank you for the invitation 😊

🥲
Cagayan De Oro is the 3rd biggest City in Mindanao
1. METRO DAVAO - 3.6Millions
2. Zamboanga City- 1.1million
3. Cagayan De Oro City - 800k
Whoa, really? That's so cool. I had no idea. Thank you🥳
Visit bukidnon
Would you have an idea of what a 1 bdrm, 1 CR condo with a pool might cost there?
Sorry I don't
The only issue i had was they was stingy on the ice 😂😂 if you can get passed that it is a great place to visit
Hi Alex ❤
Hi 👋
Their shittles to airport bye grocery store near sm mall and jollibees
Not sure why, but your videos never show up for me anymore. I have to manually go to your channel and check if you posted any new videos.
That's weird. Do you have the bell notifications turned on and have selected "All" from the 3 options?
Excellent video but I'm really disappointed those guys didn't take you up on the basketball challenge, I guess they're really not that hungry for Jolly Bee or else they're really scared of your skills and don't want to get humiliated!!!
I like to think it's my basketball skills 😜
@@Livingabroadalex The must have regognize a real potential threat!!!
@amazonseller-yf8vv 😅😆
Nah it was because there was a truck parked under the rim
@@Livingabroadalex Nah common, if they really wanted to play they would offer 2 on 1 half court, or they'd find someone to move that truck wich shouldn't be parked in the middle of the court anyways!!!
How much your room
$18 a night
DON'T SKIP THE ADS!! LOL
Thanks
you asked for a sprite and they gave you a coke? nice hahah
Gotta go with the flow in the Philippines 😁
Mozarella 🤣
10 pesos for a mango, isn't that like 25 cents or sumfin???
Sure is

Mas mganda bacolod city

Ten is Diez. Diez is Spanish word
Some people on the street are indiginous people or native.
The bajao girl on the street begging for money, don‘t give they are abusing if you give, they ask again.
