It would be great as a follow up to do a apartment/condo/house tour in some different price ranges to give a good idea of what someone can get for their money.....just a thought
Finding a good place to live is key to the entire Phils experience. Not easy but apparently it is possible. Also can only be done after arrival in most cases. Good info Kevin!
Thanks for watching! Yes, I’m going to do at least one more video maybe two in the area. We ate dinner at a place on Hibbard, and I did some filming but didn’t include it because this video was already too long
Thanks for watching David! We have a couple of Mexican places here that keep me happy, but will definitely enjoy some TEX MEX and authentic taquerias once I’m back in Houston this fall. I will definitely go back to the area. I want to do some people watching, and my GF loves street food
I had a beef steak in that mexican restaurant about two weeks ago, it was my last night in the Philippines so thought I'd treat myself. To use your phrase, it left something to be desired 😮
I lived in Amigo Subdivision behind that area. Lantow and Cafe Racer are the best places to eat on that end off town. Interesting to see the first places in your Video are now open. Went back to the USA Sept. of 2020 and they weren't open then.COVID probably delayed... At the point you turned back is Silliman Beach. They have some facilities in that area. If you had turned left instead of turning around you would be passing Silliman Agricultural and you can buy fresh milk and eggs there and maybe turkey. I recommend Belcris for a decent frozen turkey (And other western style meats) but expect to pay. I'd rather eat a steak at Cafe Racer than pay 40-50 bucks for one to cook. Nice to see all the new shops open!
Yea, the weather looks great. Personally I rather beaches with palm trees and coconut trees.. It will be nice if you have a chance to video it on business hours when it's full of people. Thanks for the info.
Thanks again for watching John! I’ll probably get a hotel room down there and do a sunset-night video there. I’m interested in seeing the area when it’s packed as well
@Mark-wv6sg what makes you think so. People in the video look OK. Even a security guard with full uniform stays relaxed. But until I get there, I can't confirm it..
Yes, I would love to see any rentals nearby, both apartments and houses, if possible. Would also like your take on the hospitals like Silliman...quality, etc. Salamat Po!
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 thank you! We are considering retirement in Dumaguete but concerned about the quality of care as, we are both in our late 60's. Very few vloggers address this issue for some reason!
Thanks for subscribing! If I wasn’t living in a beach front apartment in Bacong, I’d definitely be in Valencia. Less traffic and noise, close enough to shopping in Dumaguete, and slightly cooler temperatures 😉
If you walk down the road past Racer about a block....hidden off the road about 200 feet to the left is one of the best restaurants in Dumagiette. Buglas Isla Cafe... Great food, beautiful place, live music. Only reason I found it was I stayed at the Sierra. I like that side of town too, but on certain days the runoff from Dumagiette sewage can make the ocean a little " Ripe" along there.
I’m not sure if Isla Cafe is the same place, but I was told there’s a place behind the Dumaguete Hotel that has incredible steaks. Fortunately ive never been down there when the sewerage acts up. That could definitely put a damper on Al fresco dining 🤢
The actual dump is up the road towards Valencia Palin Pinon (Sp) road, and people scavenge there its by the river so avoid the river and any fish from there.
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 looked nice but come on now 😆 I want at least breakfast and a happy ending for that price on Dumaguete. You can stay a week elsewhere with breakfast for that kind of money.
Hey Kevin, my wife and I (she's from Tanjay City) are planning to move to the Philipines to try it out for a year or so. We have two small children (4 and 7). Do you recommend any nice gate communities? Do you recommend Valencia vs Dumaguete? Is there a better place you recommend?
Can you recommend a good dentist , root canal crowns and implants,too expensive here in Australia, will be in Duma early July, maybe catch up and have a beer .
@Corey H I recommend Pinili & Associates Dental near Silliman Hospital. A bit more expensive than other local place. I just had a very thorough cleaning for $27 USD.
Hey Kev --- those condo studios (?) are they for rent - or for sale only ? -- I would only want to rent so I could move elsewhere easily is I wanted. -- Any idea what comparable rental units go for in the area -&- are they furnished ? 🤔
Definitely on that street at night!!! I just meant it’s quieter in the residential areas farther west from there. I have not been down at night, but thinking about getting a room at the Sierra Hotel tonight, so we can check out the nightlife. My GF wants to hit that street food scene and see what band is playing
Many people really dont know that there are fun things north of the port.. And they dont really advertise it either.. And I dont get it.. It was a big project back then and still underway, so I find the lack of promotion a bit weird. But some of the best restaurants are there now. (Arbour is more my liking, but the Henry Resort is top notch sure too) There is also a place for young people to party in Northpoint (because the Why Not on the Rizal Boulevard is really an old peoples place, as well as other places there) and so on
We’ve already got vacation plans for Monday and Tuesday next week, but I think I am going to rent a hotel room over there when we get back. I want to see what the nightlife is like too😉
We actually might get a hotel room over there tonight. I don’t like driving the bike at night. It’s too crazy, and there’s always some research I want to do for another video
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 So if 100% of the money for the pizza oven is purchased by the foreigner, the Filipino already owns 60% of the oven by default?
@@coreyh7323 Its a fair deal to ensure Fili[pinos are taken cared of and alleviate poverty. Its one way Uncle Sam can help Filipinos, anyway they are hardworkers.
You’ve never seen the crowds at night, and here you are making a video about. It’s a great place to live. You need to spend more time actually living in this location to understand why it’s not a good place to live.
Been on the boulevard in North Point MANY TIMES at night man!!! Yes, very festive on the weekends. Still….per square mile or M2 there are more good restaurants in North Point than anywhere in Dumaguete

Keep in mind that a good strong wave could take your home out to sea, doing more than wash it. Coastal properties are dropping in value around the world, as tide levels rise.
Thanks for the great video content. Appreciate the new area’s of locations you are covering. Extremely valuable content…
Thanks FA! I’ll probably do at one more video, if not 2 in Northpoint. That’s where 2 of the 3 gyms I reviewed are as well
The view of that sea is so nice from that coffee shop, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Thanks for watching Eduardo! You should see it from the 2nd story of some other restaurants…..with the breeze….it’s quite nice 😉
Another great video Kevin, I like the screenshot map for situational awareness 👍
Thanks again for watching Badger! I’m going to start putting that in all of them. Wish I’d thought about it sooner 🙄

Thanks for the information kevin i never visited dumagete but now i think me and me babe will check it out it looks like a great place👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Bernard. I like the area, not too big, but still has many of the things you want. Definitely worth checking out 😉
I love that part of town. So many choices. Many new places have opened there
Yeah, and still building!
Lots of restaurants and cheap eating places along Hibbard ave mostly catering to university students of Silliman

If i were to get a vehicle there i would look for one of those suzuki suicide slider doors 4 wd van
I’m considering it, because I will only use it on rainy days and road trips. I’ll use the bike in town
