Filipinos are so resilient and they do not seem to let anything like bad weather or storms get them down. On the beaches here in the US once it starts raining on the beach everyone runs.

[@SurvivalElite1]

Dude, I would move the boat ramp to the far end of the empty lot and close it in at the restaurant like you planned.

[@christineyap2373]

Ample rest is needed, Michael. Keep hydrated and take your vitamins. Just a gentle reminder. Health is wealth.

He more concerned about beaver..

[@elizabeth78269]

I’m from Florida and we know how to prepare for storms and hurricanes. You should put everything above the bar to under the bar. Don’t throw away all the boxes the booze came in, use them to put the bottles in there. Put the boxes in the bar to hold it down. The chairs and bar stools can be stacked up double and tie them all together to form a big mass of weight to hold them down so they don’t fly around and destroy other things. Have the windows all boarded up. Buy a lot of long sturdy ropes. Good to have them around. When tying the chairs, make sure you make a loop into the chair before tying to another one . The tables, tie the legs together also for weight.

It STILL blows my mind 🤯how the peeps can cook all those different types of food on just 3 burners and a slow cooker... Wow! 👌🏽

Go Chef Leo & Sous Chef , Jason? (I think it was Jason….) The glimpses of the food look delicious & hearty.

[@kitakitzFarm]

You can easily determine a good location for a beach property. If there are groups of mature trees it's a good area. If No or few trees, BAD CHOICE.

[@King-2077]

Dont forget that the location is the philippines, natural disasters like earthquake and typhoons are a thing especially at this time of the year so regardless of what beach he chose, he will encouter storm like these lol.

[@thefilipinojoe]

The typhoons aren’t so bad for those who have a quality built modern home, but unfortunately that isn’t the case with a lot of homes in the Philippines. Luckily, cheap construction usually means cheap repairs, even if you have to rebuild. Not at all like the expensive construction and repairs or rebuilding in the west. I didn’t realize this until going through Typhoon Odette in 2021. I was seriously traumatized by the destruction, including lots of trees blown over, because of my western thinking, but then I saw afterwards how easily people fixed or rebuilt their (inexpensive) homes, and I realized I had seriously overreacted (due to my western thinking). Poor people can experience a serious financial hardship due to the costs associated with repairing or rebuilding, but that has to do with not having any extra money, not the costs, which are relatively low.

[@jamesbourn710oi]

@@King-2077 so what you are saying is mikes property is in a flood zone,like a lot of philippine beach properties

[@jamesbourn710oi]

@@thefilipinojoe and when does it start to become expensive.not for mike he's filthy rich, but for the regular guy?!

[@King-2077]

@@jamesbourn710oi yep basically. Beaches will always encounter typhoons. Not just beaches, anywhere in philippines can experience this. His beach can possibly be a floodzone if they experience a very strong typhoon but that’s rare and seeing that the property is lifted, I think he should be fine but he needs to reinforce his structures in case there’s a strong typhoon.

[@MyIslandRetreat]

Very exciting event right in front of you 👍

Love the music selection while showing the Philippine armada. :D Also happy to see business is still going great at the bar. With that food selection, it's no surprise!

[@jamalgreen3056]

So many people forget about the down sides of the Philippines which is the flooding,land slides,earthquakes and typhoons.

[@rolandmueller7218]

Don’t forget the erupting and exploding volcanoes. We get all that in the US West coast as well. Seattle is similar to the philippines, but a lower average temperature. We also get occasional typhoon like wind storms.

[@jonaske8049]

Thats all most people think about. But in his case he doesnt own the place so its temporary. In those cases its not existential crisis if something is happening. But believe me most foreigners have their house on a hill (flooding) with retaining wall (land slide) and relatively good quality material (typhoon EQ) Its not that hard to prevent damage or limit it. Problem is that such a lot and house is not affordable for the average filipino and also many old westerners living on retirement plans.

Michael amazing video looks like in the movie

[@thomadams6671]

Having the boat ramp is a good thing, The Coast Guard and PNP are a good thing. They promote security and I am sure the city Mayor has something to do with it. Maybe you should put the slussy bar against the fence, it may obstruct part of the view but it is also a wind break. You can also put a sign on the beach side of the slussy bar with prices. It will be a win win for you.

[@ryanlampitoc5064]

It's a fluvial parade. Feast of San Juan/.And typhoon season is actually starting this month/time of the year. FYI.😊 Stay safe.☔⛈️🌬️🌊

If you have the AC running all night in the bedroom, then maybe the air in the bedroom is too dry. That could be the reason why you developed a cough. What I do is, I have a humidifier running across the room away from the AC, so that the air is pleasantly humid again.
