I hope you can come back here in Dipolog City Zamboanga del Norte

[@keithd1219]

There's so many hidden gems in the Philippines that are not so called tourist destinations. I really like that type of city life much more so than a big populated city.

[@ambarpurohit8935]

yes true

[@jamesbowie6925]

My wife is from there, but for some reason wanted to live in Dumaguette, I’m not that sure about Dumagete, 15 years ago it was good but now it’s not the same, we may be coming back to Dipolog😊

[@SmeeUncleJoe]

Ya I was going to DGTE 20 years ago up until about 2010 and just the vibe I get talking to the hoards of foreigners online that flocked there, I think it's really gone down in the sense of where I'd want to live. funny how being a foreigner myself I steer clear of them as much as possible.

[@thomasspears776]

Hi Gio I am a big fan. I am an American living in Dipolog for 12 years. Married to a Filipina. Life is very good here. Please contact me and let me know before you come back to Dipolog? Maybe I can help you. I am working with the Mayor and Governor of the province to have Dipolog cater to foreign retirees to make their retirements easier via NGO for now. Then if successful after three years they have agreed to make it part of city hall. My goal is to have Dipolog someday to be known as the retirement foreign Capitol in the Philippines- seriously As you know our needs are much different than the filipino’s needs. Thank you for highlighting Dipolog. Be safe.

[@samuelmendoza4117]

Thomas you seem like the right guy to speak to about places to go, things to do in Dipolog. How can I contact you? I plan on visiting Phil this coming November. -Sam

[@GiointhePhilippines]

That would be amazing. I'll be back soon.

[@lolitamonsood6852]

Hi Thomas, my parents are about to transfer and live in dipolog, my dad is an american but not yet a filipino citizen, may I ask where do you get your visa extensions for your stay ?

[@michaelbouckley4455]

@@lolitamonsood6852 The Ozamiz Bureau of Immigration do a Friday session in Dipolog. It used to be at the Registry Office, located above those coffee shops featured in the video, recently moved to City Hall, at the back of the Museum. Visa extensions are only for 2 months; but you can now avail more at one application. There used to be quite a lot of foreigners applying, when it was 2 months only, now I see fewer, when I go 6 monthly. It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to get your passport returned. Once they have your phone number, get reminders, and an early notice if the office is closed, eg for a public holiday. After the first extension, you are issued with a Alien Certificate of Registration Card (additional cost) accepted at hotels, airlines, and by the Provincial Border Guards. COVID Vaccine cards are required to go out. Never had mine checked in Dipolog! It was asked for at Dipolog airport check-in, and at Centrio Mall, in Cagayan de Oro. I got my 2 doses, a booster, and cards, free here in Dipolog. Need to get them stamped on the back, add your photo and get them laminated yourself. Pfizer and Moderna usually available, along with Sinovac. Tip, when you have cards, photo them in phone, that is also acceptable.

[@christopherhouse7937]

How is Dipolog different from Iloilo?.

[@FPFAJTK]

My wife is from Dipolog, ive been there 3 times since 2013. just spent 3 weeks with my wife and our girls and her family. Great place, friendly people. its built up alot in just the last 5 years. new malls, gated housing developments, etc.

[@quigleyzee4033]

Wow! Can't wait to visit!! Love how long the boardwalk is, great place to run every day!

[@jamesalias595]

I am glad that some people are using their brains, you don't need face mask out in the open with fresh air, especially rain cleared air. Good job people of Dipolog.

[@jw-vx8im]

[@plantworks100]

Hey Gio my dear friend, Dipolog is beautiful. I really love the long boardwalk. The hotel looks very nice and clean. I will definitely try to visit Dipolog city. And it looks so peaceful there. I still can't get over how long that boardwalk is. and now that i am back in the philippines, i know for sure, that this will be my permanent home. Dipolog City, looks so relaxed. Definitely this is a very laid back place. and the low cost of living is very cool as well. i'll bet your legs are so tired from climbing 3,003 steps Gio. I think that i will try it when i visit Dipolog City. Its so clean, and it does have trash cans. Wow, you definitely don't see trash cans very often. you know Gio, there is something that is so magical about the Philippines. I will still say, it's the people. I love those coconut trees on the boardwalk. A rainy day in the Philippines, is better than a sunny day in america. Thank you Gio my dear friend for sharing this awesome video. Please stay safe and healthy. And God bless you and your beautiful fiancee always.

[@DarwinIV]

Thank you sir for sharing my hometown Dipolog. It's safe, clean, no traffic and very friendly people. I think it is one of the longest boulevard in mindanao. God bless your tour sir.. New subs here..

Yes, you are right

[@jw-vx8im]

Is it safe for white guys like me

Nice place,so clean,and garbage cans that I have never seen anywhere else in the Philippines. I certainly would like to visit there

[@GiointhePhilippines]

You should!

[@newetman4382]

This is my dad's province. Some of my relatives still live there. I remember going there back in the 90's and it was soooo different. They didn't even have Jollibee over there. It seems like it modernized for the last 20 years. People over there are generally nice and friendly. I played ball there and the locals were initially trippin on me, then my cousin came and the athmosphere changed! Bam!

[@juancarlosvaldes4538]

Nice walk and talk Gio. My choice if I were to rent there is Lapu-Lapu in Mactan Island, as I enjoy the beach and the new condos that you were renting in Mactan-Newtown. Enjoy the rest of your journey!

[@luzzy9185]

New subscriber here! Thank you for featuring my city, Dipolog. I just got married to my American husband and he will be living permanently here soon. He loved our town, La Libertad, an hour away from Dipolog City. God speed.

[@joedavis2066]

My fiance lives there. Loves the Boulevard for walking exercise. We will be moving to Mactan Newtown hopefully in June.

[@mcgott58]

If you enjoy lots of garbage and traffic you're coming to the place.

[@robertinmindanao10]

Check out Dapitan it also has a boardwalk and restaurants etc. we went there on our way to Dakak resorts. Another place you might want to visit. We were there couple weeks ago.

There is a city 21 KM south of Bacolod City in Negros that has similar view of Dipolog but lots of trees and tiled pavement. More than 1 KM stretch. Its on the side of the river. The Bago city blvd. You will see that if you pass by a western route from Dumaguete on your way to Bacolod City.

[@cookemike]

Thanks for showing this. It was not an area I would have considered before.

[@williammorgan6217]

Thanks for the videos Gio they are so inspiring

thanks for sharing the views of dipolog gio atleast even i cannot go there thru ur bloggs and videos its enough for me , be safe and see in ur next videos

[@cebedojames]

Been there many times since I was a child. Its my mothers hometown. I cant believe Dipolog is now becoming known on the internet. Back then many didn't know about this place. My parents used to have a beach house right at that boulevard in the early 90s. It was all beach back then there was no boulevard. Life back then was simpler and have more nature.

[@nomadinthemaking]

Just watched your vlog and it reminds me of Dumaguete but less commercialised. Just got back to U.K. and stayed Manila, Panglao, Mactan Newtown, Cebu, Dumaguete, Tagum and Davao. Dumaguete was my favourite although we had a bad experience with Air BnB’s. It seems the standard of Air BNB’s have dropped since pre-pandemic it seems general maintenance has been neglected.

[@jonathanport5002]

Too put it mildly that is a very quiet town. Most of the locals are working on ways to get Out

[@marcozopfi1736]

Hello, Jonathan. Yes, you are right and that is the other perspective on it. But the population being mainly youth category fueled and driven, for more than average will not shrink on numbers as a whole. Indeed, the search for better life conditions through increased income sources, makes many up 20-21 of age locals seek and find money-gains work grounds elsewhere. Immense numbers of OFW's, especially women and among men in global shippery and construction-or factory jobs, find their stayings elsewhere to be able to earn for families.

[@merryjoy5188]

That is my hometown 😍❤️ I missed it my last vacation was 2020 when the pandemic started in China.. everrytime me and my husband going back in the Phils Dipolog we had our jogg every morning in boulevard from the starting at st. Krus to the bridge... A lot wester people live in dipolog. Some married to a local and do farming...

When I read Dipolog, i immediately watch this vlog, because Im curious about that city. Im pinoy but not a traveler. I think Dipolog is a spanish city down there in Zamboanga. Im in Germany but realization tells me Its more fun in the Philippines.

Fantastic Beach Boardwalk, I always wondered how safe Dipolog was being so far west in Mindanao. Cool looking city, thanks for the tour.

It is a little close to Marawi City which is a place you want to stay out of for safety reasons.

Charlie my fiancee2wife is from orieta city, Mindinao, but that city, Dipolo seems real chill!! I like dumagette & that new area you showcased in your other video. When I visited in the past, I ventured in Metro manilla, baguio, boracay, cebu, panagasian & angeles city only for the most part!! I want to see more like you are doing Gio! Be safe & settle down somewhere sir! Lol!! I cant wait for the embassies to open fully for marriage services, so I can be married & become a permanent resident! She wants to live in little Manilla or Angeles city. I like the provinces more!! I will watch more of your videos to try & scope out a place that is comfortable for both of us! TAKE CARE, TRAVEL SAFE & BE CAREFUL!

You're close to Zamboanga City. I hope you can visit and do a vlog content there.

Thank you for showing my place. That’s my residence. My house just somewhere near that boulevard. I was gone for many years already. I really missed that place. Did you visit Dakak? It’s also a beautiful place.

Very cool! Dakak on my next visit!
