Hey Savvy Expats! Apologies for the lack of uploads lately, we're getting back on schedule. In the meantime, we hope you find this video valuable! - Evan

[@arisejeff]

Nice neighborhoods in Quezon for digit nomads?

[@TheSavvyExpat]

@@arisejeff Eastwood City is a nice area for digital nomads!

[@raytigno9154]

We miss you Evan, in a manly way, of course! LoL.

[@TheSavvyExpat]

@@raytigno9154 I'll be back with a vid very soon Ray!

[@johnclark7973]

You don't have to hope, Evan. This video delivers butt kicking VALUE! 💯

I was in Philippines for a month in March and found the internet quality was better than pre pandemic it also seemed pretty good in Dumaguete.

[@gmsimon]

the local ISPs were forced to step up because of the increased usage during the pandemic due to everyone using it at home for work / school. That said, if you are staying in Makati / BGC or the more industry-heavy areas of Quezon City in Manila, net speeds shouldn't be an issue. Though it is wise to ask for a speed test before renting a place, especially if it's a complex, as the landlord may only be using 1 connection for the entire thing, thus slowing things down.

[@DrDlane]

Hi Isabella. There is lots of great information here that would be of value to anyone really. As a digital nomad, my biggest priority is internet access and speed. As long as I have that, I'm golden. But in the downtime, having somewhere to exercise, relax, and eat are all necessities as well. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see part 2.

[@Isabella-ky8kx]

This is great to hear, thank you! Being a digital nomad has great perks but can be a real hassle if internet access is unreliable. So this topic is precious to me as well ⭐️ We’ll be posting Part 2 soon! 😄

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

This video is overwhelming with information. So much to digest. Thanks for sharing all this great info.

[@Isabella-ky8kx]

Welcome! 😄

[@jerrynam]

I missed your videos lately Evan. Hope you're well and enjoying life.

[@tedlasalvia9668]

Nice Video Isabella. You gave us some great information. I hope all is well Evan!!

[@raineboots]

This video was full of helpful information. I like that you also shared a bit of the personality of each place. I would have liked to have more relevant information like internet access/speed, co-working spaces, and accommodations prioritized. That info was kind of lost within all of the general activities mentioned. I’m looking forward to part 2!

[@manilamartin1001]

Great to see your new video. I love living in Makati. It gets my Western needs met before I head out to the provinces. I'm not sure I am a digital nomad. I am just a freelance photographer. Great seeing this video. I know your audience made mostly of pensioners, so I love that you took the time to make a video for those of us still doing the grind. My needs as a digital creator are, great coffee, wifi, and and a physical activity to burn some calories. My favorite is biking.

[@Isabella-ky8kx]

Being a digital creator sounds like a dream ⭐️ I can relate with the great coffee and wifi, so I included cafes in the video as well ☕️

[@johnclark7973]

@@Isabella-ky8kx I L♥️VE your description of Makati. What a place! Would you say neighboring BGC would also be a good digital nomad location (consistent, fast internet and power), with things to do in our free time (dine, nightlife)?

[@ahdiex7363sha]

great post loved the rentpad recommendation, u covered the internet situation, as well as stuff to do i just found this great video

[@sebastianobresolin4585]

Hi Isabella! Thanks for this interesting video! Coming there soon

I don't have to work here in the Philippines I'm retired 😎

[@infiad1275]

[@johnclark7973]

Man-oh-man, I can't hit the like button 👍 enough times on this information. I love it, great summaries! Makati will definitely the place for me.

[@raytigno9154]

Hi Isabella. That was a fun video. You are very detailed in explaining things which helps a lot. Thank you for the awesome presentation

[@Isabella-ky8kx]

Thank you Ray!

[@keemoe007]

Thank you for the very good information.

[@Isabella-ky8kx]

Thank you as well! 😄

Welcome back

[@Isabella-ky8kx]

Thank you! 😄

[@maclovioberumen1917]

You speak excellent English. I enjoyed the locations you showed and restaurant recommendations. Hope to be there soon. Maybe I'll see you walking down the street and so I will introduce myself. I only arrive on Philippines Airlines. ✈✈✈ coming from San Francisco.

[@Isabella-ky8kx]

Thank you! It’s great to meet new and interesting people. Looking forward to it! 😄

[@johnclark7973]

@@Isabella-ky8kx I would have thought your response would have been that he would be met with a fresh can of mase to the eyeballs if he randomly stopped you! 🤣. Boy, it's true, you Filipinas truly are friendly and delightful. 👏😁 👍

[@arisejeff]

First!

[@TheSavvyExpat]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@johnclark7973]

One more request (that I would cut off 5 toes to see from you) is a video discussing, in detail like this video does, Boracay. I would consider spending a lot of time there if the internet and power was good. I thought I heard Mega World was building a project on Boracay, and that Boracay has really been coming along with development the past so many years.

[@johnclark7973]

Do you have a video showing and discussing Rockwell as a place to be? I'd love to see one!

[@gmsimon]

If you're looking for classic Filipino dishes done in a contemporary way, I would suggest Locavore in Salcedo, Makati.

[@jamesnichols2511]

when was this vlog actually filmed in Cebu. (larsian Barbeque)

[@georgesandoval8311]

Since the video is aimed at digital nomads, it would be better served by depicting the results of Speedtest benchmarks showing typical upload and download Internet speeds for the different locations. Several foreigner vloggers cut short their trip to El Nido, Palawan because they couldn't get a decent speed Internet connection to upload their KZbin video. So the destination of the benchmarks should be KZbin servers in the US or whatever foreign country the KZbin servers are located or mirrored. The historic buildings and amenities in this video can be highlighted in a different episode.

[@johnclark7973]

Curious why BGC wasn't in the list for top Digital Nomad locations however? I would have thought it would be. I am assuming it has fast fiber internet, and things to do in our free time?

[@trevorsmith7753]

Malapascua island, off northern Cebu island, looks wonderful ... but what internet speed? The holy grail of decent internet on paradise beach is still not quite there yet!

[@Synfulz]

Starlink should resolve that.

[@stuartsmalley2847]

Where’s part 2?

[@chrisk7118]

No Siargao?? That place is the next Bali... This list is too city centric

[@Ryhamz]

Does Siargao not have internet issues? I understand that not every remote worker needs consistent internet or internet over 50 MBPS, but maybe that is what didn't get it considered. That said, there are definitely more options than just cebu and makati available. I feel like a video overviewing 10 locations would be appropriate.

[@chrisk7118]

@@Ryhamz Agreed. Think starlink will make the remote areas a viable solution in the near term.

[@DrDlane]

@@Ryhamz this was only part one, as she mentioned.

[@Synfulz]

I opted to retire remotely here in the Philippines. 🤣🤣

[@Johnnyrockenvoyage]

I stop watching when you're speaking about tourists attraction in Cebu. People are here to know about WORK and internet connexion ❤
