About Me:
My bio is pretty random: In short, I am a professional singer/songwriter from Toronto, Canada who moved to Manila, Philippines which sorta became my Hollywood because my first KZbin channel MIKEYBUSTOSVIDEOS grew popular due to Filipino comedy videos. Meanwhile, I'm also a big biology geek who is obsessed with ants, so I built an internationally operating ant business supported by another popular channel called ANTSCANADA, and well basically, today I travel and tour around the world doing what I love so I wanted to start this vlogging channel, in hopes to encourage you guys to follow your dreams no matter how random, by showing you what happened when I followed mine! You just never know where life will take you when you listen to the yearnings of your heart!

[@LivinTheDream.]

Mikey, you MADE my day by listening to your own rendition of these lovely Christmas songs. It brought tears to my eyes, I miss my family back home. 😔 There’s really no place where Christmas is joyously celebrated like home. 🙁

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Happy holidays!

[@Wanderw]

Now I know what’s missing in your house, a grand piano

[@gg_Javier]

Mikey, you should seriously record a "Home for Christmas" album, focusing on Philippine faves. The world needs it - now!!

[@laurakarr29]

Right! Forget Mariah Carey, I need Mikey's Christmas album.

[@JOMYRChannel]

I am from Iloilo and love to watch this episode, thanks Mikey for featuring Iloilo.

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

[@poetofreason1610]

Mikey bloody Bustos!!!! That silent night gave me chills!!!!!! Ok we need more of this for the holidays!!! The 12 days of Mikey Bustos singing Xmas songs!!!!

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Thanks👍💓

[@CALI_VEGAS_PINA]

@poetofreason1610 … I concur! That would be awesome! 🎤💕🎶

[@jewelrycreator]

What a gift to hear and see your serious side and showcase your musical talent, watching you open the Ethiopian coffee container and JR casually pushing the button and the lid pops up was priceless! You need to put out a Christmas CD, it was wonderful to hear your beautiful voice!

[@Vivi_land]

Welcome to the City of Love, Mikey & Team. I miss Iloilo

[@gg_Javier]

[@NurseMJ986]

Miss my hometown Iloilo City. Where the life is slow and simple. Sad to see the high rise buildings. I know it is inevitable but still…..

[@Cynthia_Ann]

I slept well... Thank you for asking ☕ The coffee looks decadent & delicious ❤

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

My pleasure 😊

[@mikeschiesel2852]

Mikey, my favorite of all of your music videos is Oh Holy Night. Hearing it live, accompanied by Lawrence truly gave me goosebumps.

[@milanice5730]

Mikey, I’m headed back to MNL in January. This wonderful vlog is making me want to go to Iloilo instead. I stayed at a Richmonde in MNL years ago. I enjoyed my stay (the best baked goods, especially ensaymada), but this one in Iloilo is a big WOW!

[@milanice5730]

Looove the Christmas concert! Five mabuhay stars for both the singer and the piano player❣️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽More, please!

[@justme8161]

Welcome to Iloilo 😊

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Thank you

[@nerizabuzadher8348]

One thing that I am looking forward to your vlogs Mikey is touring us to the places that you visited. It started when you visited Australia and showed us how beautiful Australia is. Again, thank you for touring us around with you in Iloilo. Ganyan pala kaganda ang Iloilo. It does not look like a province anymore. Thank you!

[@irishs8621]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Your version is silent night is so much better!

[@heatherreyes5324]

Maligayang Pasko sa inyo. Thank you for singing Christmas songs and Laurence for playing the keyboard , hope you play the last classical piece long version.

[@chegarcia9520]

Hi Mikey! Good to know that you’re in my hometown ILOILO. ☺️ You’re avid fan! From Los Angeles, CA 😊

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Hello there!

[@ririgraceee]

Congrats on reaching 5 Million Subs, Mikey! 🎉 I’ve been thinking of visiting Iloilo again and stay in the city proper. My mom’s hometown is far from city. Almost 2 hrs drive the airport. 😅 You should visit Igbulawan Farm if you have time. It’s a new tourist spot located in my mom’s hometown, San Joaquin. 😊

[@exploren2752]

You need to have a piano in your beatiful home... pretty pleaseeeeee :) then we can hear you singing on your vlog too! L🎉ove the xmas songs! Merry Mabuhay squad!

I am surprised you don't do ice baths/Vim Hof method! Get in that pool dear fellow❤

[@bjrockhound9241]

Hi Mikey. I don't comment a whole lot and I have always enjoyed your singing but today, you and Lawrence really hit it on the Christmas songs. I truly believe that you and Lawrence should collaborate on a Christmas video. I could totally see you and Lawrence in a black room with a lit Christmas tree and maybe other decor in an awesome Christmasy studio/lights/decor. If you two did like a video album of Christmas songs, I would totally make it part of my tradition every year! No joke! I thought you two shared a bit of Christmas magic there. Please consider it!

[@JOMYRChannel]

Try to visit Pototan, Iloilo for their Iwag festival, a Christmas light capital of the Philippines

[@thomaseagles1026]

We’re going to have to put ur father on just for laughs in Montreal so enjoy ur stay mark and Lawrence 🇨🇦👍

[@gracegozum8937]

What an awesome voice! You are so talented Mikey😘

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Thank you

[@laniescott8620]

The song is come what may from Moulin Rouge.

[@mitastarr9974]

Your house has great acoustics, love your singing and your friend's piano playing. You should seriously consider hosting a Christmas singing party and feature it here. Please please please. No karaoke, just piano, acoustic guitar maybe, a few strings

[@cocofrancecisco2188]

Come What May from Moulin Rouge

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Correct!!!

[@cocofrancecisco2188]

[@beecherphilpot4034]

uh oh we need a Christmas Album

[@tedsword]

I only watched part of the video, so I don't know if this was covered or not, but the reason Iloilo looks like this is because the old airport in Mandurriao was closed and a new, more modern airport was opened in Santa Barbara. The space previously occupied by the airport was purchased by Megaworld and developed into this city. The road they're driving on at 20:14 in the video is the old runway.

[@jacksonsmith11]

Wow you are well known in Ilo Ilo!

[@flormacaraig7332]

A blessed morning Mikey,RJ,dad Jerry and Lawrence.I'm happy to this vlog esp.when you have a jamming to Lawrence it's nice to see that he play piano while you where singing.You have a great rendition of the Christmas songs.I'm happy see that your dad and Lawrence goes with you and RJ at Iloilo,I can't wait to see your farm.enjoy the days ahead to you guys. 🙏Godbless🙏🙏
