Biggest PROBLEM With Our Land in the Philippines - (Filipinos help Foreigner)

[@claribelpalomares260]

It's "Bayanihan", Finn, and what is Philippines known for, amazing Filipino trait, one that we are proud of. Great that everything is well taken care of in your land with regards to documentation, right of way, cemented roads to b built. Everything is falling into place, even planning to buy/trade for a pick-up truck, wise decision if living uphill with still uncleared pathways. We'll miss blue thunder, of course, but all is good. Excited for your nxt vid about house plan/design and all. Way to go, Finn and Sherlyn, proud of all your accomplishments. You're really cementing your life here in the Philippines, with your business venture and land/house projects. Happy for you guys and may the Good Lord bless and keep you both always and make your goals/plans come to pass. Thank you for this wonderful update. God bless.

Finn, mud can give you more food. do not worry about it. Just put more plant, trees and even flowers.

[@HighTowerAU]

Hi Finn, good luck with the hunt for your dream 4x4. Just warning, in that kind of mud, even 4x4 can struggle unless you have the right tyres. All manufacturers sell their 4x4 with smooth highway spec tyres for noise comfort and fuel economy. Factor in buying some good open block tread 4x4 tyres. The traction control is pretty good on most high end 4x4 pickups now, even better find one with a rear differential lock. Lowering the tyre pressure (even down to 15psi) in slippery mud roads helps a lot with traction even on the standard tyres. So a good portable 12v compressor to run off the car is beneficial because you need to pump them back up on the sealed road. In australia, anybody who 4x4 carries one because fuel station with airpump can be 100's of kilometers away.

Careful in cutting coconut trees cause it's a criminal act in the Philippines. There's a law passed in 2011. You must secure a permit from the Baranggay Captain of the area where the coconut tree grows.

[@VINuraka]

Suggestions for blue thunder: 1. Lift kits 2. Skid plates (metal / steel) to replace your underliner. 3. Change your tires to a more wider all terrain Isnt your car AWD?

[@Usefullinformationphilippines]

When Covid hit the Philippines two years ago a lot of people panicked and they just let the banks repossessed their vehicles and went back home. The banks have vehicles in storage that have almost no miles on them and they’re selling them cheap. The only thing is they’ve been sitting so you should have a mechanic check out anything before you consider buying it but it is a cheap option.

[@markjoseph196]

Which bank?

[@Usefullinformationphilippines]

There’s not a day gone by that we don’t watch your video guys😁. Even our son is named after you Finn😁& he’s now healthy 6month old. Watching from England. Sherlyn,gurl you’re so pretty☺️.

[@loriechilson925]

Sounds like you are not an impulsive kind of a guy, you know exactly what you want. You think through what's next step to take and you did not let peer pressure push you into building your house out of a whim. Sharing to the world your plans is something viewers will look forward to. Looks like the clearing of your new land is underway. After the clearing, you need a licensed surveyor to measure the perimeters of your property and put landmark into it so you know your boundaries. I am not an expert in properties but I happened to have an auntie who used to work for Coldwell Banker that specializes in real state. Every now and then, she takes me to open houses showcase properties to prospect homebuyers. I think you and Sherlyn are on the right track. House building is a huge undertaking that involves "Big Money". Making your vision a reality needs good planning and preparation. Sketching your dream house and get advise to an architect helps you figure out the design that fits your land. After the architect, next is your civil engineer - get one that is licensed so when they screw up, you can sue them, your leverage. I heard, there are many rug tag house contractor around - be careful to these people - might be cheap but their kind of work is shoddy. In America, a household always have two cars reason is, in case one is broken, you have backup. Keep the blue thunder and get a 4x4 jeep that is strong enough to drive up to your house.

@making the move by darrenThank you Darren for taking time to reply. I am well aware that Philippines lacks structured by laws but it doesn't hurt to sue people if you think you are being scammed. Silence will not get you anywhere. Making noise using social media as your tool to announce to the public that so and so did this things to you, the government is force to ACT. There was news recently happened somewhere in Bohol that local tourists were over charged with the food they ate. They shared their story on youtube along with the receipt how much they were charged each food item, the authorities took note of the story and had the restaurant investigated right away. Using social media to express your experienced bad or good will get an attention - that's for sure.

It’s exciting to see once the construction started and the progress of your big house project. I’m wondering what type of a house you’re going to construct? Is the motif native like amakan walls and nipa roofs, log cabin style or all concrete with glass windows? With a picturesque view you have, a balcony will also be great for an early morning coffee or late relaxing afternoon calamansi drink. Can’t wait Finn and Sherlyn to follow your journey but first a second visit to Iceland. This time, it’s not winter but late summer. The country will be green and sunny…

[@leticiachiok8057]

Good for you, Finn; you are truly in the right path--taking your time to look into all aspects (like the Right of Way, the road which is being paved leading to your uphill land) before building your house. Thru the different channels--lawyer, a civil engineer (which is a must), local/municipal officials, local farmers' help, your dream house and further land development will come into a reality soon. Just be patient in doing your homework and good luck in this great project. Also, best wishes on your trip back to Iceland with Sherlyn. Bon voyage!🤗💞👏

[@AFSHomestead]

Hey Finn, Sherlyn, Jake, friends and subscribers.... About if, you keep Blue Thunder if you get a lift kit for BT and higher tires as well of course As far as color white is the best for the Filipino climate because it doesn't fade and the clear protection doesn't peel off either Front wheel drive should do but you need higher clearance, positive traction and traction control to help you get around...similar to what is use to handle the snow...I grew in Chicago dealing with the snow and I was there for more than 30 yrs and almost 20 yrs in Florida where we deal with sandy off the road situations... Hope everything works out for you guys Have a great time...

You should also check that if they are building a road that is an actual National Road then you may need to give up some of your land that is alongside it, usually 1.5 meters and are also not allowed to build within 3 meters. I had this issue in Davao where the access road to our village is part of the land we bought and we had to give it up. Fortunately the land owners gave us an extension at the back so we didn't lose out. Good Luck.
