10 Reasons This Philippines City Won Us Over

[@mylahbarreto5265]

I love that Brooklyn and Colt when placing an order say- “please, may I, thank you…” You two are great parents 😊♥️

[@dzikijohnny]

When my family move to Minnesota from Boston in 1975, my brother's and I were like that. My father's coworkers, when we went over for dinner, would look at us like we had two heads when we acted like that.

[@mylahbarreto5265]

@@dzikijohnny Manners and being grateful doesn’t cost anything. Hopefully, Filipino kids will learn from them :)

[@livethephilippines]

Thank you for appreciating that about them. It makes me so proud as a parent to be able and stand back and watch. I have to agree, the have wonderful manners 🫶🫶🫶

Great that you dug into the history of BGC...educational even for locals. 👍Also I like that you made a run down of those things you like that made you decide to make BGC your 2nd homebase. Its a good recap or flashback esp for those who are new or a passerby to the channel. Watching your stories make viewers like me enjoy as though we are tag alongs. Your energy is so contagious that's why I never tire watching you! I'm figuratively infected! 🤭👍 🥰

Philippines ..is by far the Best Alternative to Raise your Family. No Mass Killings! No Karens! Very Safe Night Streets! Very Friendly Neighbourhood! Accessability! Affordabilty! All Signs and official Transactions done 99% in English! ..and of course,Endless Tropical Vacay Island options!!

[@stevem437]

I’m raising my daughter in BGC currently, but there are drawbacks. Want decent education and don’t want to homeschool? You’re going to pay over $10,000 a year. Limited opportunities to play sports. Surprisingly, hardly any playgrounds. As they get older, are they learning to drive in this traffic? Lots to consider that I feel like so many people don’t think about.

Just so you know when the "Philippines" is used with an adjective form, like "Philippine" before another noun, the "s" is dropped. For example, Philippine cuisine, Philippine city. Also, Philippines comes with a The before it like The Netherlands. Thus, the Philippines. Love the video.

This is such a great rundown. What I felt when I was in BGC was that the place felt...alive (unlike here in Los Angeles, of all places). People were doing activities all over the place. The malls were filled with people -- malls here in the US are boring and dead compared to the Philippines. BGC is great. Real estate prices are just going to shoot up.

Also, There are many beaches up north in Alaminos, Pangasinan. Check out the most perfect volcano---Mayon! Also, check out the Rice terraces of Sagada (it is like being in Bali) and Baguio. Check out the other islands of SAmar, leyte, tacloban, dumaguete. Happy Travels!

If yall go to Mall of Asia or just happen to pass by Manila bay, you'll see the quick progress of the project already! So much land has already been put there! so exciting for the Philippines!
