Glad you enjoyed it Ned.

Leave your wallet at home,because you will loose it,😅
Great video. Thanks for the website. Did not know these limits on items brought into the Philippines. While I have brought some of these regulated items into the Philippines that were under the regulated amount, it is good to know these limits for our next entry into the Philippines. Thanks, Rod...Jim
Glad it was helpful Jim.
The Philippines become more communistic everyday. They answer to all other countries because they want those donations from the other nations. The Filipino politicians steal everything they get and barely nothing gets back to the people. Pretty much like other countries, but worse. The Philippines is actually a very very rich nation with many super wealthy people along with the poor. Cheers!
If I were to say i don't bring anything rob.emty handed.
Bag broke into twice at Manila
That is not good news Johathan.
Hi, I arrived in Cebu city on Friday 06/28/2024 with no problems at the airport, here to see my girlfriend, we were in Howling Dog Saturday because they have local bands that play rock music and good atmosphere, tonight a trip to 301 for some beers and food, I'm hoping to do a boat trip to one of the islands when I'm here. My girlfriend keeps telling me off if I go for a walk around on my own thinking I will not be safe.
Cool! Enjoy your trip Conrad.
Any idea about this situation? For a US veteran over age 50, would veteran's disability compensation of 1650 USD/month count as a "pension"?
Yes, it would.
Too much government!
there ae never declaration card in manila airport, the custom personal are always too busy playing games on their phones, how can i declare aaaaaaaaaaa>>>>>>
Thanks for the info!
Thanks James.
Bring inChocolate for your wife. Jewelry and hush money for the girlfriend.
LOL! Good points mrbbruiser
Thanks for the info.
No worries!
When I do make the move, I will bring a labtop, and clothes at first and a external hard drive, once I’m established at a condo, I will have my podcast equipment sent over and buy a computer tower though amazon, i shouldn’t have any problems with that? The podcast equipment will only be a mixer, 🎤, and another 2 pieces, would that be a problem?
I think anything over $200 shipped by Amazon gets a customs fee making it quite expensive to ship in.
Awesome 👍 I always wanted to know it. My expatriation is near
Glad I could help!

When this video title of yours appeared on my UA-cam home screen I opened it promptly to see if any of the pieces to the ferry schedule puzzle had changed. Note: I have done the Ormoc run multiple times, I used the Lite ferry until on the third attempt I discovered that the Lite ferry was not doing the Ormoc run so then I went through the process of finding the Roble office and booking the night departure on that slow ferry line and rather enjoyed the overnight run after hanging around Cebu City for an extra six hours. I have since given up on attempting ferry travel anywhere. It became readily apparent (while watching the video) that nothing had changed: -The hawkers abound praying on people that are not sure what the heck is going on or what the heck to do or how the heck to avoid some lengthy miserable period of time standing around in a line that may or may not be the correct line for the type of booking you may be interested in making -The randomness of where the various legitimate ticket offices are, how to learn where they are and then actually getting to them and what the process is going to entail once you may actually find them and go through the door. -The time it takes (after arriving in a port area) to figure out the routes, schedules, types of accommodations and true costs all the while the hawkers are hitting on you for your luggage, your ID, a ride to some other obscure location with all assurances that they will take care of you. -The variances in the process(s) from one port to the next, like the Forest Gump box of chocolates....you never know what you are going to get until you get there. And it all boils down to the same main piece of advice from anybody who knows anything about trying to travel inter island in the Philippines by any means of ticketed travel....BE SURE TO ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF TIME TO SIFT THROUGH ALL THE RANDOMNESS AND VARYING LEVELS OF SERVICE. The DOT (tourism) chief (just this past week) unveiled the National Tourism Development Plan 2023-2028 which is essentially a clear indication of the interest the government has in bolstering income from tourism amid declining tourism numbers in the Philippines (while other ASEAN countries are doing pretty good). The main thrust was to make clear that restrictions would be eased to facilitate the development of more hotel rooms at various targeted tourist destinations in the Philippines. The simple reality is that it won't make any difference how many more hotel room towers are built with the current challenges that exist in getting from point A to point B in the Philippines. It's difficult enough intra-island, it is exponentially more difficult interisland and if it starts to rain...all bets are off. And this is just within the realm of transportation challenges. There are a myriad of other concerns related to health, safety and general services to non local travelers. There is the bamboo grapevine here in the Philippines, it is amazing how quickly information can travel among the locals. Word also has a way of moving quickly globally pertaining to certain things and tourism is one of them. The tourism industry is highly developed. When people are planning international vacations they learn very quickly where the desirable and undesirable locations are. The average tourist is not going to tolerate what you showed in this video. I won't mention the reasons why these various challenges persist in the Philippines and I know why you don't mention any of it either. It's a shame, it is certainly NOT a progressive environment.
Members Club is Sam's Club from the USA
Thanks for the info Dave.
Sam's is officially called Member's Mark, but S & R also have labels that say "Members Mark." I cannot say for sure whether the ground beef you showed is similar to Sam's in the USA or not.
Good place to hang out.
That's a good info.
Thanks for the video, Rod...Jim
When I arrived from Europe last in Cebu and drove to pier 1 to Bohol there was a long queue and after 24 hours of travel you don't want to wait 😃 A Fixer was immediately there and wanted to help. He said 1100 pesos and he would need my passport 😄 I only had 1500 pesos so he got them and luckily he came back with passport and ticket but kept the money 😁 Long live the helpful people in the Philippines.
So you got scammed 2.5X daily wage for a few hours of waiting in a stupid and inefficient ticket system and you are happy about it! Hooray!
Glad it worked for you but I can never give up my passport like that😮
Hahahaha I was just going to say but your tickets at the window not from the guy hollering at you trying to sell you tickets. I had my fiance meet me at the airport and never got overcharged.
@@matrices3987 Yes they earned just 2 1/2 days wages but it's only 15 minutes work for me in Europe and I didn't have to stand in line. And yes, I was happy when the passport was returned 😁😁😁
@@richardhowe5583 I was also surprised that I did it. But the passport came back
I don't remember having ques or using IDs in 2015. Where do you find the agents in the mall.
do seniors have to wait in line to board or get tickets
Seniors are supposed to get priority but not sure of the reality Tobias. I have seen some ticket counters as listed for old or disabled.
I buy tickets online to save time
Thanks for the tour!
Thanks James.
Interesting using a 360 camera however it does not reflect actual size of the flat/rooms giving a false impression of what it looks like.
Good point cubbie. If you are on a computer, laptop, etc and in full screen mode you should be able to zoom in also.
I was able to follow the property endorser.
Great Camera love the option to see what we want.
Thanks.
love the 360 view. as far as the condos, not the 2 bdrm, too expensive. the 1 bdrm, more affordable. same with the studio. however, after 2 yrs of research, I've decided on starting in Iloilo city. better infrastructure, cleaner, less traffic, a little more affordable, bicycle lanes, and esplanades. So now I'm focusing on condos in that city. I'm an old dog of 74, so I'm not into the beautiful ladies, just peace and tranquility, to start> hahaha
I like Iloilo City also James. They actually enforce some of the noise and traffic rules.
Comes with a long stick to adjust the air conditioning.
Makes little sense not to have a remote for the high AC. They should change those out with proper AC units.
Why did your friend go to Velez Hospital? See that that are a lot of hospitals in that area, including Chong Hua which is supposed to be a really good hospital. Just curious, Rod...Jim
He fell and injured himself and that is the closest hospital is one reason Jim. He did not need any operation, only minor care for a couple of days to get him back to health.
Have you ever tried making this with Coconut milk? Seems like this would be easily available there and better than UHT milk. Good video, Thanks, Rod...Jim
I have not yet Jim, but good idea.
Very Nice... Quite a bit cheaper than the Condos in IT or Business Park. Bookmarked for my October trip to Cebu City.
Sounds great Ted.
Now way. This place is not worth it. I'm at C-Suites in Newtown for 23k per month. Electric/water and internet runs about 27-28k per month. Not to mention I have a water view with Olango and Bohol in the distance. No way I'm paying 35k plus utilities to look at other buildings and a swimming pool that would be uncomfortable to be in with 10 strangers in it at the same time. This condo building is a lost cause. Just my opinion.
There are many options so enjoy gunny.
Not doing much in that pool.
I rented there a week last month and after 2 days walked away and lost the money as I did not care for it there. I think it would be okay at the right prce, but the prices you quoted are way too much. You can get much better on a rental elsewhere as deals can be had as owners are desparate with so many empty. Be carful of the group I rented from there as well. Thanks Rod.
Some of these agents in the Philippines are ripping people off. Who would pay that much for a condo or apartment the size of a closet?😁
I like the 1bdrm
Thanks Clyde.
When you started talking about the requirements/documents etc and talking about proof of pension, you didn't even start with which type of visa you're talking about.
I listened to the video again and he did mention it quite early on in the video. Should have started out with that though.
Hello Rod. Last weekend I was on Mactan at Megaworld staying at the Belmont Hotel. That area has changed so much over the years and several condos are now available. What surprised me the most was the amount of Asian tourists and all of the new stores and shopping mall catering to them. Do you feel a 1 bedroom condo there for about 13M is a good investment? Thanks, be blessed my friend.
Thanks for sharing and good question kano. There is a discussion of whether the Cebu City metro is over building. Thailand did it years ago and thus the vacancies and lower prices there. Prices have risen quite rapidly in the big cities of PH over the last 10 years so the question is how much more can they go up and still sell. I do not know the answer. If you are going to live in it and be happy that is one thing, as an investment, that is another issue of whether you will get a decent ROI.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Thank you. I have been on Negros for several years now and prefer the province life. I was just amazed how many tourists were on Mactan. We are so blessed to live here, take care my friend and thanks for your input.
The aircons have no remote, ridiculous. Have to get on a stool to adjust or turn off/on.
My opinion is they should change the AC units out for a proper one with a remote. Only makes sense. Someone trying to save a couple of pesos.
Very small condos .not worth the money to buy prefer older condos to buy.thankyou.
Thank you for the interview, Rod.
