Foreigners REACTION to What can $100 get in the Philippines??

[@MikkosFree]

Just two minor things. His toilet works, it's the flush that doesn't. Bucket flushing is still pretty much the preferred method in the Philippines, as this saves a ton of water compared to tank flushing. Second was that his AC also most likely works, it's on older dial based window type. He needed to turn fan knob for the AC to start. The switch in front for powersaving mode or performance mode, which basically just enable/disables the automatic fan. If you are planning to stay for a long time, you can get an apartment for $100 to $130 a month in these areas. Just don't expect it to be along the beach.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Ok thanks for the info

[@angartsnirex]

Yes and there are motorbikes for rent as well better if u stay a little farther from the beach but at least u can stroll around the neighborhood, stores etc & still can go to the beach easily when u rent motorbikes.

I learned you’re moving to the Philippines, happy for you guys. My unsolicited advice, BE PATIENT and adapt to the “go with the flow” attitude. if you can do that, you’ll love it there.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

That’s our VIBE 😊

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Just be careful, though. We DO have some bad elements in the Philippines, starting at the airport, where taxi and transport companies try to rip you off with high fares. Some hotels also charge you "low rates" but you end up paying a lot of additional fees. Vendors charge you high prices for their goods, so be prepared to haggle. Counteroffer with an amount that's half what they said. Remember, prices WILL VARY from area to area. For example, in BGC and some places in Makati, a local beer can cost you at least three dollars while a cocktail would set you back ten bucks. Still cheaper than US prices but more expensive than in most places in the Philippines.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Thanks for the tips

[@cg.9219]

As a Filipino, that I can agree with! Your $100 can get you to places but varies on which region/province you will visit the Philippines. But in Metro Manila, atleast $150-$200 minimum. For transportation, same with Singapore we use Grab app. We used to have Uber but they pulled out. We have motorcycle taxi app Angkas, Joyride (Joyride now caters car as well)

[@lloydjbvillegas]

And also, those stuffs that he bought from El Nido maybe 2nd hand or maybe carbon copy items meaning not the real ones, but heck still comfortable to use. Because you dont need to spend extravagant here, just enjoy the nature. ❤

Part of the reason the water in the lagoons and most of phillipines is so clear clean and blue.. is the lime and xoral reefs.. most of the reef and coral is protected under the world preservation conservative efforts and its kept as pure and un disturbed as possible. A portion of all those fees the tourists pay is to help that preservation and conservation efforts.. thanks so much for showing the world the pearl of Asia.. the Philippines!

[@TripTipsPodcast]

It’s our pleasure 👍👍

[@rmetal1105]

Just remember that cheap 'branded' items here are usually knock-offs, so the quality is not very good. Sellers also tend to jack up prices for tourists so you can haggle if you want. $100 will not get you much in Manila, but it will be enough for 2-3 days in the provinces, esp if you're not picky with food and accommodations. As for the 5-hr drive to El Nido, you can actually get a direct flight from Manila but it costs about $250 one way.

[@blackraven2018]

The Philippines is known worldwide for their hospitality and despite the abject poverty, people are usually just smiling and happy and willing to help. This is why you see a lot of Filipino nurses, caretakers, etc.. because they are great with people. Can’t wait when you guys finally come and experienced it for yourselves.

Hi guys! If you're retired with minimum of $750 a month you can live like a Prince here in PI with a houemaid. Or you can use that as a down payment/monthly payment for a house and lot with 4 to 5 bedrooms. If you're on vacation it can last 2 to 3 months, depends how you use it.

[@pj6306]

Yeah but to be honest, if you will rent and live in Manila, specially to those places that are kind of known or famous places specifically BGC area in Taguig City and Marikina City, the rent are kind of pricey too ..like 3 years ago we were in the Philippines and rented a 2 bedroom condo in BGC that cost $1,000 a month, after 3 months we moved to Marikina City to save some money and be close to my family over there, we rented a 2 story townhouse for $700 a month..so I think it's a lot cheaper to live in the provinces..like in Cebu, Dumaguete, Siargao, Davao ( you now those visayas and Mindanao parts) than in Manila😊

Hi D&J.. Just an FYI. El Nido is a touristy place. Some prices there are higher than other parts of Philippines. Plus, if you are a foreigner, sometimes they charge you higher too (eg.fliptop is $2 or lower in Manila local stores, eye glasses is $1 to $2). Bargaining is common here so you can even get the prices much lower than the initial price if you bargain or ask for the last price. Also, since El Nido is a main tourist island here, some other white sand islands can offer you lower than $20 for island hopping tour. Feel free to explore here. :)

Just my view. I think now is a good time for you to reach out to some of foreign KZbinrs who are living in the Phils to find acquaintance and to start building your own community and friendships. 'Coz living in a foreign country could sometimes be lonely no matter how lovely and vibrant the place is and how friendly the people are. There are really those moments in life and you want someone who can relate to you as an outsider, as a non-Filipino. 2. You should take some time to learn and build friendship with Filipinos. Sometimes Filipinos are a bit shy and you need to crack them surface to get inside🤣 and once you have a community of Filipino and foreign friends I think your experience will be great. I am living outside PH and I use this tip to survive in a foreign country. I both have a native, non-native and Filipino friends and these friendships totally made a difference in my life. Also Tip on the toilet not working usually there is a plunger beside the Toilet-seat so you should use that if it ain't working.

Oh and by the way in El Nido and Coron - there are stablishment who accept US dolllar only so better ask first -- ITS OVERKILL

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Ok thanks 😊

Guys the reason why its a bit cheap for the items he bought is because the items aren't really original mostly imitations like sunglasses even in philippines original rayban will cause you $100bucks+ sandals example nike origianl cause cause $30bucks but being realistic you can buy thus imitations for your travel needs miat of it atill looks like original just choose the item and doesnt make a difference when wearing them.

As long as they work that’s all that matters to me

[@shantiestrife1727]

You don't need a plan going in the Philippines just go with a flow if you can do that your good to go😊 and also every country there's a bad apple 🍎 so be careful.

[@musterlustre1060]

The best thing about the liquor and beer in the Philippines is it’s cheap, strong and tastes good. A 375ml bottle of Tanduay rum is $1 at 40%. Red horse beer is 8% and $1.5 for 500ml. But most popular Filipino beer is San Miguel Pale Pilsen at 5%. Also make sure to eat sizzling Sisig as your appetizer while drinking. Truly Filipino experience. Pork in the Philippines is amazing.

Can’t wait 😜

Thanks 😊

[@aleanahsacar4214]

What he bought were knock-offs so it was cheap, just a disclaimer.😊 And in Manila, it can be sold for half the price than in Palawan (goods are generally pricier in destination places like Palawan, Boracay) because they do cater to tourists.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Thanks for the info!

[@JM-se2zd]

"what are we doing here bro?" 😅 this cracked me, I'm excited for your visit here, hope you'll get the best experience you could ever have.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

I hope so too!😊

[@burningcalmness]

I'd like to share that the stuff that he bought was only imitations and not original products, that's why it's cheap..but yeah, they can last longer..

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Dude, you need to check the breakers because most of the time, the breaker of a/c outlets are turned OFF.. due to accidental leaving the a/c open by the guest and to save nergey as well as security. LOL.. Welcome to the Philippines. Check that out next time you drop by..

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Okay thanks

What I like about Philippine beaches is that you can do night swimming without getting attack by sharks.

[@LykaAlbarracin]

Hi D&J as always you and your father are really good reactors correct me if I'm wrong not just Philippines content but everything specially my favorite bts content. this is the only reaction channel that I'm watch this longer almost everyday waiting for new videos.

It's cheaper in some areas that's non tourist spot but the same ambiance and adventure you'll get.

Good to know

[@blackjackedgy]

I will never forget that time I fell off the kayak in the small lagoon and I stepped on a stone as a leverage to get back up and was bitten by a small black fish. I don’t know what kind of fish it was but it was feisty🤣🤣🤣 You have a lot of hotel options in El nido but we stayed in a hotel near Nacpan beach so we could walk in the morning and greet the beautiful sunrise. 🥰

[@TripTipsPodcast]

How much did the hotel cost where you stayed?

[@blackjackedgy]

@@TripTipsPodcast should be around $20 , this was from 5 years ago though so rates may have changed. I’m positive rates are somewhere in this range with all the necessary amenities

[@TripTipsPodcast]

@@blackjackedgy Wow you can’t even buy a Starbucks coffee in the US for $20 😂😂 much less get a hotel room on the beach. I can’t wait to get out of the US. It’s such a rip off and over priced.

[@blackjackedgy]

@@TripTipsPodcast XD Starbucks here is around $4-$5 😆 Excited for your adventures here, there’s so much to see. 🙌🏼
