Thank you for sharing your travel videos. As a Filipina who had migrated to the US 48 years ago and returned to my homeland only 6X since I left, you are providing me and the rest of your viewers the great opportunity and experience to see all the places that most of us have not or never will ever get the time to visit, You will continue to gain more viewers and followers due to your respectable, humble and positive approach to vlogging. I look forward to viewing your videos everyday and love all the places that you are visiting in my country. You're the only vlogger that have visited so many places at a very short time. Again, you're very much appreciated.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I really appreciate your comment to thank you ☺️

[@MrSaabsucks]

100k per night? Really? 😮

[@tuvilla42maryann]

Michael is well known in Iloilo.

[@gg_Javier]

Congrats, Michael! You've unlocked one of the Philippines' secrets = that Family, Friends & Connections make Pinas go 'round. Enjoy The Farm, and continue making friends!! 😉 👍 🤙

[@drewnc6196]

I am really liking your videos and how you tour some amazing areas. It really helps people to learn to focus on all that there is to see in the Philippines and not just focus on one area. Great job!

[@mariagar5758]

😂the man that was showing you the rooms was hilarious! Thanks for sharing your experiences, I'm thinking about retiring to d Filipinas, at 63

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

He was totally loving his job

[@hnorthcutt]

I plan to visit the Philippines in the near future and have been watching your videos religiously. You show life over there as it truly is by walking the streets filming as you go. Great job.

[@SkyBlue-rm6pb]

Just like here in Canada, they also have that "eh " thing in Batangas at the end. Their governor is the great and famous actress Vilma Santos

[@Nighthawk2211]

Growing steady, Michael! Great content, you look really relaxed now. Not saying you weren't before. ;-)

[@humminbird6990]

Great start Michael. Love the to see that big church. Looking forward on your next video staying at the Farm. I guess another subscriber sponsored you for that accommodation. Keep coming guys, sponsored Mike to some interesting places in Luzon.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I don't even know if they watched before, we met in Roxas city and became friends

[@astrids3391]

I know I’m up too late when I always see your new videos popping up the minute they are posted 😂 but hey, at least I can give you an early like 😂

[@jsully4064]

10:36 Awesome Church!! Looking forward to your next video. Thanks Michael....Jim

[@axizcorp]

lots of beautiful beaches around batangas. lots of places for you vlog around Batangas. so many options.

[@marcusgraham9478]

I have had the pleasure to visit Lipa City, visited a school and found the locals so friendly, loved it there

[@LoicFoundGrace]

Thanks Michael ❤you’re a true source of motivation. Keep going the good work 🤗

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

What a GREAT PLACE you ended up in !!

[@caldk7210]

Batangas is a super nice place.. been living her for 10 year

[@perryhenrickson7750]

This place is clean and looks modern. Education centers means lots of younger people I would assume. Close to the big city and provinces. People look friendly.

[@tomhunter2623]

Michael another amazing video. Nice city people friendly was fun going around with you. Oh I loved the lady singing.

[@reggiec2924]

The Red Door Motel is a place for "quickies"!😂 That's why the lady at the front desk asked you how many hours...! Lol! Batangas City is one of the oldest cities in the Philippines. It is located in the province of Batangas. Their wet market is very popular on weekends. One of their specialty is the Batangas Bulalo. The Batangueños are happy, respectful people. A lot of bakeries all over the country are owned by Batangueños. They specialize in hot pan de sal. Enjoy your time there!

[@edj3873]

Another good video Michael that made me looking for more. When you were in the visayan region, i didn't really understand the locals talking in the background, now that your in Luzon, I can since tagalog is spoken in Batangas

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Haha yea it's incredible to think that the languages are so different in the same country like this

[@juliuspalamos7863]

You are very industrious Sir, promoting our country, Batangas city is like the cities of metro Manila,, best kape is barakong Batangas

[@mikimeejavier8263]

You just got a taste of life in my city of birth. Welcome and enjoy your stay.

McDonalds Coffe is GREAT .. NICE AND STRONG

I don't think I have ever had a Philippines Mcdonalds brewed coffee come to think of it

[@andrewsibert7629]

Yea the city is a little crazy, I like the outskirts better. Catch you on the next part of your trip.luck be with you .

[@edj3873]

How is it a little crazy?

[@davidhancock91]

With 8000 islands in the Philippines, every one is a bit different. Very interesting place. One thing is always the same. The warmth of the Philippino people.

[@brianbaxter3913]

Finding transportation in a new place is always an adventure. When I was traveling around the Philippines I usually stayed in a place for 2 weeks so I would book ahead of time but the transportation was always hard to get a good price. Some places the airports are far from where you are going so you have to pay more as it would be a long walk lol.

[@buffalokay]

Michael, this is just a very friendly (but unsolicited 😂) suggestion: have you considered traveling outside of the Philippines? With your following, you could collab with different resorts around the world! It’s publicity for the resort and content for your channel! You could see the world! You could go anywhere! The world is your oyster!

[@bigmikessenioradventures]

I'm from Texas. We stay away from polyester and stick with cotton to stay cooler. Poly is like wearing a plastic bag. Same goes for sox & shorts

[@SkyBlue-rm6pb]

There are nice beaches there too , i saw a vlog of it , really cool and i saw nice resorts and places on my aunt's fb, they live there in Lipa Batangas. You're in town proper so it looks like Manila. Is Batanes or Ilocos Norte on your itinerary? Ilocos N. is my hometown.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I don't think I will have time and budget this time to go north of Vigan but we will see

[@PetiteRosie666]

Pls go to Vigan and farther to Ilocos Norte. Not many vloggers went there yet, most vloggers content is all about the Southern Philippines, waaay too much… There’s so much more to discover in the North!😁🇨🇦

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

@@PetiteRosie666 vigan is in the plans :)

[@BelusTraveller]

Wife and I had to stay in a Red door one time, Wife was pissed, lol, Karaoke, blaring all night from a bar located just upstairs, but I was so tired I just passed out, I would worry more about bedbugs, mites, and picking up head lice than anything, But rest is rest, You stayed, “Love Shack Baby” B-52s it a hit, Remember one cant debate Poverty, People do what they have must to survive, God Bless

[@woutergijs5246]

Staid solo several times in so called love hotels/ motels in Thailand . Never had a bad experience. Downside?: they offer no breakfast 😅

It’s really affordable at low price but should have reviewed aircon room. The cameras clarity is amazing, which 4K camera are you using for shot Michael?👏

[@angelodefensor1096]

Did u say 100k per night at end of your blog? Cant wait for the next video to see the place.

Not 100k a night for me but the one I stayed in is incredible

[@RamilMedrano-zp4jk]

Thank you for showing my home town batangas city

[@osicogames1194]

That was so funny! 😂 The Lady singing and then the Hotel inspection while sweating a lot! 😂 Bro its hot 🔥 in the Philippines! I am relieved because I thought i am the only one sweating there! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Haha yea that walk in the sun and the market with no fans really did a number

[@Rockboi59]

Batangas City famous of Lomi btangas, bulalo, gotp btngas, beaches resort, barako coffee

[@edithah2374]

Batangas needs renovation to make it look a bit better 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mimiblitberg]

Michael, since you’re going all over the place, please visit our small fishing town of Malabon. It’s about 1 1/2 hrs from lipa, batangas. We would love for you to see and experience the sights and foods of my home town. We would love to show you around in April ( flying back home for a short vacation). Mabuhay!!

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I would love to come that way but this time I think it might not be possible since I need to be moving may 1 and I have much To do to locate and rent and plan the move in April. I never say never so who knows maybe something will align. Worst case we raincheck for the next time and I go then

[@mimiblitberg]

@@ThatPhilippinesLife sounds great! We’ll be in The Philippines for a couple of months so hopefully things may work out eventually.

[@zeckul]

Fellow Canadian expat in Lipa here, let me know if you'd like to meet up if you come here Michael!

[@seboudog]

I like the market you toured. It reminds me of a couple of markets that I like in a couple of other SE Asia countries. Thanks for the video.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@justinehernandez7306]

Yoy really paased on my home town sir, have a great holiday

[@Rockboi59]

Sorry for the hot weather of batangas city bcuz its summer season these days

[@Rockboi59]

I recommend u to check in at Days Hotel... besides sm batangas city

[@RoMan-hq5bu]

The Basilica of Immaculate Conception was first built in 1581 is the English translation of the Tagalog sign, then the second one with a stone (bato) foundation was in 1601…

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Thank you

[@zachgolez244]

If you have time, you should visit the abandoned theme park in Lemery, Batangas. 😊 It’s actually near Tagaytay City

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I wanted to go here! Unfortunately without a vehicle it just wasn't possible this time

[@JeffSimpson101]

Love the quality of the video. What do you use?

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

this was a go pro hero 10 but it broke the next day and changed to DJI Action 4

[@Rockboi59]

U forgot to go Tagaytay City in Cavite, theres a short cut way yo go tagaytay, if u are still in batangas. At Tanuan Batangas drive thru goin to Talisay Batangas then ride zigzag road hills until u reach Tagaytay City

[@astrids3391]

Will you start travel to other countries again? Once you settled ? Would be fun to also follow you around doing that :)

[@kmllg1488]

You need to visit taal batangas.The famous volcano and also historical buildings.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I went there pretty early on living in the Philippines but I definitely need to go back with more time again, if my camera had not got smashed and needed to buy another then the budget was for me to spend time there this time

[@kmllg1488]

Baler Aurora and bagiou City are good options to visit as well. I am from Pakistan and I toured Philippines in 2018. My 2 year stay was amazing.

[@Shane-hb7yq]

I have stayed at The Farm. Pretty nice place to get away from the city life.

[@joepangit6938]

I carry a couple of the 3 in 1 instant coffee tubes with me. Then I only need to find hot water. If no hot water and I get desperate I can just snort it :)

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Haha my kind of living (I usually have some too, but snorting not yet bahaha)

[@woutergijs5246]

Coffee : that is 1 of the things I still don’t understand in Ph: no coffee stands, nothing at fuel stations. I just wonder, just imagine, you open a booth with some bar stools around it. Fresh ground coffee, simple muffins. Would that not get customers?

[@peter-pg5yc]

singapore had really nice love hotels I mean really nice..

[@DumangasanonDude]

LoL, that Love shack rooms 😂. That's where the term, "Syota" (short time, ie 3 hrs) a popular term before which means gf/bf but superseded by newer gen z term, "jowa" of the same meaning.

[@AnnaMarie-p3o]

There is an expat in Batangas we watched him in KZbin too his vlog called Crums in the Philippines his name is Stanley. Only if you are still in Batangas

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Yea I have moved further north now :) thanks though

[@AnnaMarie-p3o]

I think Stanley lives in North of Batangas called Lipa

[@AnnaMarie-p3o]

We are watching your video right now 😊. Just trying help you around sorry not trying to be annoying.

[@amaliahightower]

The Farm is 100k pesos/night…way too much! Even if I have money I wouldn’t pay 100k. Any plans going to Quezon province? They have beautiful white sand beaches in the islands of Polillo, Jomalig, Alibijaban etc. The only problem is it takes 4 to 5 hrs by ferry to get there. Not counting the hours on the bus. Can’t wait to see The Farm!

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I didn't even know Quezon province existed until now I always though of Quezon City in Manila! I just learned something today. Not this trip as my destinations are set in one Direction' and it wouldn't work this time

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

The most expensive was 100k yes the cheapest 13.5k

[@PEEJ08]

The only thing to do in Mississauga is leave as fast as you can lol.

[@locker1325]

Red door. That's Scotty boy's favorite place to stay. It didn't look too good. I can't believe you lucked out with a resort. Nothing like the last stop where they rolled out the Red carpet for you. These guys ignored you. I'll bet they're kicking themselves now. Your camera seems to adapt to the darkness pretty well. Fate is very good to you. Can't wait to see more of the farm.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Crazy luck, almost like it was meant to be. Thank you so much

[@78swats]

Can you do a video on what you pack in your bag? Is it possible to live/travel in Philippines with a single backpack? Appreciate it.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

I see others are doing it..not sure how haha, but yea if you stay in the hot areas you could have 5 t-shirts 5 shorts, toiletries, socks and underwear and go from pace to place and buy new shirts ect monthly cheap. As a vlogger short two day trips I do with backpack but a week or longer I bring a large suitcase with all my stuff to do a live stream, editing, lots of clothes for any weather, towel, even a thin throw blanket in case the place I rent has only a sheet. Most of my stuff is because I'm blogging though (some vlogger use their phone to edit and do it simpler then me) Biggest thing is have a pack that goes across your chest for valuables in crowed spaces

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Thats a motel the RedDoorz. For lovers who want short time...

[@yankebloke]

Dude, if you don’t see a price on the items you want to buy, it’s your chance to barter or ask if “bababa pa po ba?” (Can it-the price-still be cut?) … 250 Pesos is quite high for a shirt! ✌🏽

Not sure of your name ; I was watching a blogger for a long time. One day in angel city ( where his wife and him live). The wife decided to start to walk. She got ten feet out of home where two guys on a bike came along. One jump off quick and pull a knife on her. They got her cell phone. Later that guy who pulled the knife try to blackmail him. It all turn out good at the end.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

How long ago was that? I heard stories when I first arrived 2 years ago by my air BNB host but they seemed to be before 2017

The Farm...100,000 pesos a night. NO WAY.. About $1750 US. Rip Off. Not worth it. I've travelled the Philippines and no way that place is 100,000 pesos a night. Was born in the Philippines but grew up in Canada and now in the US. Retired and travelled the world. Stayed at very nice Resorts in the Philippines, Nothing is worth 100,000 pesos a night.

If you want quiet peaceful good for a family life the Iloilo city, party places many others, hyper modern BGC/Eastwood, tourist type places Boracay, Palawan, siargao. To be surrounded by expats the Dumaguete and area and Angeles. It's a complicated answer as I know many great places if you want provincial but close to cities
