Leave all bad memories behind in Iloilo.. explore new places where you can find new heart’s desires! May you find your dream girl soon, Mike!

[@danderson8463]

Didn't comment on last video but i thought you handled it well, no drama, no details, just "this is where we are at" and "I'm going to keep making videos and it's just going to be me". Dignity on KZbin, it's a novel plan.

[@reggiec2924]

I have too much admiration and respect for you. You know how to carry yourself when you're dealing with the Filipinos. I would not be surprised if a family offers to welcome you in their abode. Be safe in your travels. Anywhere you go, Filipinos would be proud to know you. Reggie from Las Vegas

Bacolod is a nice city, it's livable but the problem is the trash.. the trash is everywhere especially on SM. I would choose silay tbh

Enjoyed tasty bibingka there in Bacolod ...💝 the beautiful RUINS is about 10 mins. drive. Around 45 mins drive is the awesome Campuestohan Highland Resort, Sitio Campuestohan Barangay, Talisay City surrounded by hills and valleys - a nice place to vlog...💖 we passed by here on our way to Dumaguete over 5 yrs ago, they used to have a short zip line etc..ENJOY!

[@wintersojourn9356]

@EvSerenade. Nice recommendations…they did tour the Ruins & other sites in prior Bacolod visits/vlogs. I remember Michael has said he is not much of a sweet tooth, but I requested in the past a review & visit to V&W’s (Victoria & Williams) eatery in Bacolod. I saw another vlogger, a Filipino chef!, talk about it but I would enjoy seeing/hearing Michael’s tour. I had wanted Bianca’s opinion too as the place is famous for its ensaymada …🥺 But I’m not sure if /when she will return there. I think Michael will visit Bacolod frequently, if he remains in area. Michael probably all ready left Bacolod, but just a suggestion to tuck away for next time perhaps….

[@misamisorientaljournal]

❤❤❤ Keep safe.

[@ZhanMiyong]

I hope you’re still inspired in vlogging alone - we’re here for you and Bianca as well you two have still our support 😊❤🎉

Welcome to Bacolod! If it’s about malls, the Ayala malls is the new one built prepandemic, then SM mall, and Robinsons mall which is a bit older and is planning on the renovations this year…the local ones we have are Lopues which has 4-5 locations in Bacolod and gaisano has 3…the newly built which opened late 2023 is Landers which is located in upper east area(you’re gonna need a grab for this one since there are no jeepney passing there) and Lammart just opened before Christmas

hey Mike ! cool vid. Surprised still no power, but it is what it is. Sounds like you're exploring the same SRRV that I plan to pursue. One advantage is you get Philhealth, which gets you in the door if something happens. I look forward to the next video.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I look into all the visa available in the country but I'm still two years away from the age to qualify for Srrv

[@robertricker2727]

Just stay on tourist and save for SRRV and get the papers you need to process in 2 years.

[@tryscience]

@@ThatPhilippinesLife So tourist for a couple of years, then srrv? Or maybe explore other countries first EDIT: yeah I forgot about that charity work. So maybe they can authorize you to stay while you help them out, then perhaps an SRRV in a couple years

@@kevingonzalez3673 seems to me, the very last place a woman should act "Western", is where there is an abundance of beautiful, considerate, and appreciative traditional women. In the Philippines, sunblock sells better than winter coats. Men appreciate the Philippines for the warmth, they're not looking to get frostbite from Western women.

[@oaktownist]

I feel you my wife is from Bacolod and I don’t like it there. I love Iliolo and it’s cheaper. I keep telling my wife why is Bacolod so expensive compared to Iliolo to me Iliolo is a lot more nice and worth the money. I’m a foreigner from the USA and I told her I would be bored in Bacolod but it’s her hometown and she wants to live there. Should I let the wife win or convince her to move to where I’m happy?

[@joggerman51]

Water garden at forest park is at brgy. Taculing bacolod city is a little bit an isolated place, hard to get a public transport and dangerous to walk to the main road! I recommend Natures Village Resort in Talisay City just 5 km or less from bacolod and located at main road although it's not that developed! I would rather choose downtown bacolod so many budget hotels and near SM, Ayala malls and the public plaza among other places there are many resorts nearby bacolod and Negros Occidental .........

Careful in Bacolod, there are plenty of "colorum" taxicabs there from the time you step at bredco. There was this turko-looking person in office attire who pleaded to take his colorum car as it was already dark and he still had no passenger to drive for. I answered that my family member was fetching me. And crossing the street or driving your car, a superfast car can suddenly swerve to cut you beside your driver's seat. This happen to us several times while traveling on the streets in the city.
