My Hometown, Estancia ❤ It's known as the municipality where business doesn't sleep. I miss home so much especially the fresh fish, dried fish, and vegetables!!
That's my hometown 🥹 I grew up there so everytime I visit I don't wanna go back to the city. I love how slow, simple and peaceful the life in Estancia.
Nice little Municipality town. The locals in the small town are typically shy but once thy got comfortable they will be happy to talk to a foreigner. Nice video for the showing us Estancia.
You’re always upbeat and pleasant when making your videos. I enjoy watching this channel because you’re always in the streets when in the villages. Please keep inspiring me to travel and meet people around the world. It seems that travel is an education within itself, and when you can make a penny from UA-cam, it makes it all the better.
Its nice to see how Panay have evolved since we lived there 8yrs ago. But i have one comment for you Michael. Never start petting a strange dog from the top and never put your face in their face. Dogs are not alwayst treated like in the Western world and even in US you shuldent greet a dog like that.... Just a friendly advice. Your face is to valuable for you now that your single :-)
Oh I remember you , you smiled at us the other day when you passed by our municipal park, Thanks for exploring our home town, Welcome to Estancia, Iloilo , have a nice trip sir! 🥰
BTW...your stats on your vids are awesome. This vid has 11K views and you only have 19K subscribers. These are amazing stats. You do an amazing job to entertain and educate. And your authentic. AWESOME.
@@ThatPhilippinesLife I'll suggest that you should come back at the month of April. Since it's our Panagat Festival by that time. You'll definitely enjoy!
@@EarlAgustin-r7j Good to know Estancia now has its own festival. Better late than never, while other towns in ILOILO already had theirs so many years ago. Estancia has so much potential compared to other towns in ILOILO, but sad to say , everything has always been a promise that haven't turned into realities . What's wrong with Estancia? Your government there needs to look at other towns that were back roads years ago, but now have overtaken Estancia. Estancia has to exert efforts double time and promote it as a tourist destination.its local government has to encourage and INVITE FORMALLY investors to put up resorts, retirement subdivisions especially targeted for expatriate American and European and Korean and Japanese retirees, and Balikbayan retirees; encourage handicraft and pasalubong delicacies shops investors, like at Caticlan in Aklan and Jordan in Guimaras. It's actually a town with similar potentials as Nasugbu and the nearby seaside towns of Batangas. Hurry up Estancia. A sluggish Estancia local government? I don't think so. Just go ahead and get ahead of the other towns beside you in ILOILO. You can make it., Estancia.
Mike I like your videos because you show other gems from Philippines. I am from Seychelles live next to the beach on a beautiful Island called La Digue. I love province life and small towns with all conviences and aminities. That is one thing that I missed here but the Philippines can compensate it. If possible also when touring these small gems see also about health care clinics, insurance, traffic, safety. I want to live six months of the year in the Philippines maybe in 3 years.
Definitely, let's be honest proximity to a city is the key to the big things you won't find a high end hospital in a small town. But when I see a medical city or Medicis new clinic I shine a light on those. Appreciate your input
What a great show Michael! Really feeling the vibe of the city there! You did so well mingling and while not being intrusive. Just so much energy in the Philippines. I think it's because it has a lot of younger people that just add so much energy. It really captured how I have felt just walking around and feeling so alive!
@LanceWhite. Appreciate your observation. I agree but hadn’t linked it to the numerous young people, that’s a good point. Watching this vlog a 2nd time & have another comment: I wouldn’t describe Michael so much as “easily impressed”, rather as “still with capacity for wonder & appreciation.” This capacity is in all children, but many of us lose it once grown up. It is a worthy trait, to remain childlike in wonder, but far from childish. Imo Our Lord endorsed it in Scripture …Matthew 18….(among more detailed interpretations).
Leaving on the 15 for Roxas. Spending 3 nights (Espacio Verde Resort) and then renting a Honda 160 and heading to Solina Beach Resort for 3 more nights. I was going to stay 2 but then thought about the Island Hopping. Then after seeing this.. off to Estancia... Thank you so much!. Stay safe my friend.
really loving your 'man on the street' format. Happy to be a subscriber, and thank you for what you're doing. Would love to know what kind of camera / selfie stick you use for your filming.
your vids just keep getting better ,love that little town ,people were nice,and like you said there is all them little islands so close to go and explore.i will put that place on my list to explore when i come to phils.hi from the uk
They are known for dried fish and other seafoods like Banica Scallops as well since it is one of the jetty ports that goes too Gigantes island. Did they mean PAON beach? I would recommend the crispy fried noodles it's delicious :) .
I feel its a happening place and the lady you spoke to before turning around is an absolute stunner, great video and insight as all these are, living the dream you are mate even considering the work you put in to produce these videos, good stuff.
Wow. I saw you the other day filming outside Gaisano Grand mall here in Estancia. You just missed the different kinds of fishes insise our public market, when you nake your turn left side from those chicken stalls. Thanks anyway for vlogging our town. I finished the whole film you did. 😊 Stay safe and enjoy Eatancia. God bless.
Thanks for all the tours Mike, loving you're concept and very informative Could you possibly add Links to locations you're visiting on each Video please!!
I generally do if it's a hotel I recommend other stay at. I don't like to be negative on business that I wouldn't go back but I just don't promote those that don't meet the expectations
you release vlogs like autumn leaves as soon as i switch the lap top on theres another haha, but i get to see different parts of the philippines. Hope later you show other far off places there like subic baguio or leyte surigao etc
I'm heading to Cebu/Luzon islands soon. I have done Subic but now with the massive American military presence again I'm interested to know what's changed
Your forte is working the room. Filipinos make it so easy-peasy as they are so open... and a little zany fun. I think you'd go crazy and a little town like Estancia where they roll up the streets except on weekends.
Yea I'm considering all the sides of this, it is equal distance to Roxas City, Iloilo City , Bacolod, not too far from Cebu though. Trying to find the right mix of life is my goal and potentially starting a business.
Wow what a nice town. You are going to have a difficult time figuring out where you want to live. Did my first walk around in Roxas City. Went to the public market. First take not as friendly as in Dumaguete but it’s my first day here we will see.
Oh, tomorrow will be festivities for the Chinese New year near the capital. I'll see you around maybe. Make sure you go to the beach around sunset and on too
Hi, Mike! You should have visited the port where fishing boats bring their catch over for display for buyers. :) I used to walk there with my fam when I want to chill and smell the salty sea air. hahaha
thank you for visiting our town sir God bless 🙏🙏 next pls. our 2nd home "SICOGON ISLAND" is a nice place there sir hope we can see it in your next vlog sir 😁
Suggestion for a question to spice up your vblog. You tell some Filipino/a, that you've got an audience of almost 60K, all who love the Philippines, and would they like to do or say something to your 60K audience. If it's terrible, lol, you edit it out, if it's fun or fantastic, you keep it! Think 'Philippines Got Talent.' Cheers & love your vblog.
@@ThatPhilippinesLife They take pride of their scallops there. You might also find a mountain of discarded scallop shells which are collected and polished into "Capiz shells" used to make lanterns and traditional Filipino windows.
Estancia is one of the places I would like to visit one day. It will probably take me a whole day to get there via cycling. I heard they have great seafoods there.
Great video. I love the markets. You could eat so fresh and healthy. I like your brother greetings. Very friendly people for sure. I would prefer if you didn't offer close ups of your food. It tutns my stomach.
I live in the Philippines and have been looking for some other place than La Union Province. I have watched your videos and Estancia looks like a great place. Looks like a nice city with a small town atmosphere. Those two huskies were really beautiful. I wonder if that gentleman's dogs ever have puppies and, if so, how much does he ask for them?
Right, they are so beautiful, the town has so much potential. So Many opportunities for starting a business and I could see that the future is bright here
Go to Botongan town.And you will see my cousin Hotel.The name is Loveres Inn.Its state side Hotel. It’s beautiful and brand new.And you will like it with reasonable prices.
Estancia is the fishing/trading hub of Iloilo. That town was the source of fish supply for all other towns. Try visiting town of Banate next. Have you been to Isla Gigantes and Sicogon?
Estancia is my birthplace..Now. Im 77 yrs. old. and how I wish I can visit there..Now Im residing here in General Santos City, the TUNA City of the Phil.
hello Iam from BarotAC nUEVO Iloilo... BUT NOW IAM RESDING IN uS. YOU HAVE A NICE AND EXCITING VLOG. MISS MY TOWN, GOD BLESS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME... SUBSCRIBING.HOPE TO VISIT OUIR TOWN SOMEDAY
Next time you can check out Solina Nature Resort in Carles Iloilo about 20 minutes ride from Estancia you’ll like there if you want beach vibes a little bit more pricey but it’s worth to check it out. Thank you I really enjoy your watching your videos
I wonder if there is a way that you can do deeper interviews with the local gym like those two girls going to university. It would be interesting to hear what their family life is like, family being so paramount in their culture. If you can figure out how to ask these personal questions but I have it all come out in the general sort of way that could be shared online without any liabilities and such, you know. I think your channel would become famous.
Hey Michael I love your channel they're always really great to watch I just moved back from the Philippines after a year and a half living there I've been back in Canada for 6 and a half months I'm wanting to go back permanently so I don't know if you're going to get this message but I'd love to ask you a few questions regarding that and what you're doing over there and so forth
Hi Michael had to send another message. I was wrong when I said think people in Dumaguete more friendly. I think the people in the public Market in Roxas City market are just afraid to EnglishI want to BayBay beach wow folks were so friendly. Came upon a group on the beach drinking a huge bottle of Tequila. Of course I did a shot with them. They were a nice family.
Michael finally me and husband when to Bread Basket Bakery I see it in your yt channel ist really nice bakery thanks again we are leaving back to the USA we been for here for a month
Great as always mate. Im keen to try that beer next time I'm up. Is it a Lager? My very first trip to anywhere overseas was Budapest...food was great. Spent a week at the F1 race.
@@ThatPhilippinesLife looking forward to getting stuck into it....one day. Meanwhile, enjoy there mate. Those island look fantastic and the water color is amazing.
Hello I am a fellow Canadian 46 years old and I enjoy watching your UA-cam channel . I'm planning next year to visit Asia , philipines and either Japan , Thailand or Korea. But. I want to visit philipines first . Which destination would you refer formost? Do you do tours ?
If you come to Iloilo and Im around Ill certainly try to help you out. if you message me i can ask some questions that will help me make suggestions to match
That's my broskie in the hoodie there he's damn tall I'm a bit older than him we were best friend since we're kids his grandpa is the owner of the resto bar!! I'm so proud about him
hi michael , i have a tito who lives in there and he own an resort. actually his my dad close friend. who used to live orange county but he retired already .
So, Michael...if I got your name right? In this video you bought a new T-shirt to replace your sweaty T-shirt, which leads me to inquire...With the ambient heat as it is in Philippians, how do you and all the others there keep your body odors 'silent'? Do normal underarm deodorants work, there? I don't know how I would survive there since I perspire freely, but here in W. Central PA, USA normal precautions suffice for me. Thanks for the great vlogs...
@@ThatPhilippinesLife I have kin ,presiding in Aklan province,lots of relatives, my aunt lives in Boracay and my cousin runs a pharmacy and Chinese restaurant there..Enjoy while you can cheers..
I've had young women all over Asia complement me on my wallet, but you, sir, are a genuinely hansum man. My favorite complement was in Jakarta when a woman told me that in the dark, and from the side, I looked just like Harrison Ford.
Sir Mike since you always stop by at Roxas City I would suggest if you can ask the locals on how to go about going to Olotayan Island it's near Roxas :).

My Hometown, Estancia ❤
It's known as the municipality where business doesn't sleep.
I miss home so much especially the fresh fish, dried fish, and vegetables!!
Thanks for putting a spotlight on other areas in the Philippines that very few vloggers report on. Thanks Mike!!!
That is very true. Most only concentrate on the big cities or parts of them. Very good observation.
Yea is not like the Duma- Dramagette wich I'm already tired to watch .
That's my hometown 🥹 I grew up there so everytime I visit I don't wanna go back to the city. I love how slow, simple and peaceful the life in Estancia.
What a beautiful place to grow up in!
Yes, I look like a very nice slow paste. Little country town something I would love.
That's slow pace?! Wow, seems busy to me!! Beautiful tho
Walking tours - the best way to go. Meet people. Ask questions. Stop off here and there. Check the back alleys. And it's nit just a big blur.
Nice little Municipality town. The locals in the small town are typically shy but once thy got comfortable they will be happy to talk to a foreigner. Nice video for the showing us Estancia.
Its always good to have your honest perspective on the different cities.. its refreshing to see something different.
@39:06 the guy on the far right sitting down is my uncle! That is my aunt’s stall. Hello from Minnesota!
That's so cool, small world and hello Minnesota (how's the weather??)
@@ThatPhilippinesLifesuch a small world! This made my

Great stuff Mike 👏 👍 ❤
My grandma always mention that place since she was from Jaro.
Great video. Cat is so kind. Hope to see her in future videos
I have also been here. There are a lot of great places to eat. The people are so friendly.
If you’re into dried fish then this is the best place to go in Iloilo. The quality is really good and its really tasty.
My dear friend is from Estancia. The seafood is awesome. 😉
Oh and a total bonus you get to drive in a Canadian road direction of lane :)
Very cool vlog in a new city with colourful experience. Your solo vlog looks much interesting than before. Good luck mate.👏🇵🇭

Estancia is where most of the dried fish come from including for export.

Good morning ☀️
You should definitely run for Mayor of Estancia, you got the local's vote if you promise to open a Tim Horton.
Tom Hortons for the win! And everyone must say Eh
So, Michael...if I got your name right? In this video you bought a new T-shirt to replace your sweaty T-shirt, which leads me to inquire...With the ambient heat as it is in Philippians, how do you and all the others there keep your body odors 'silent'? Do normal underarm deodorants work, there? I don't know how I would survive there since I perspire freely, but here in W. Central PA, USA normal precautions suffice for me. Thanks for the great vlogs...
Yikes. That death stare would have unnerved even Mike Tyson at a weigh in. LOL. Nice video. Thanks.
Subscribed, miss Philippines wish i can visit,but due to respiratory problems i cant travel anymore bummer.
That's sad, I'm glad to show the Philippines to those who can't come

I've had young women all over Asia complement me on my wallet, but you, sir, are a genuinely hansum man. My favorite complement was in Jakarta when a woman told me that in the dark, and from the side, I looked just like Harrison Ford.

Sir Mike since you always stop by at Roxas City I would suggest if you can ask the locals on how to go about going to Olotayan Island it's near Roxas :).
Plans for that been set for in late March already :)
