Cost of living in the Philippines is not expensive. We give the best value in everything we do. It is just amazing that you also give high regard to our services. You are very likable as you interact with purity to the locals. This can;t be denied with the smiles of the people that surround you... Be safe Mergim. Cheers.

Philippines is one of the most expensive cost of living for a third world country actually

[@edgarnapiza4667]

@@Wanderwthird world is an obsolete term. Philippines is now a developing countriy with so many infrastructures pn going. Cost of Living is expensive if you are living in a gated exclusive village or in BGC. There are lower cost of living in other areas outside metro manila.

[@iamkuroma5405]

until you live somewhere more expensive , you would realize it's cheaper in PH. I miss PH!

[@MarisTian]

@@Wanderw The "3rd world country" mentality should really go. :) No offense but we WERE a 3rd world country decades ago. WE'RE NOT ANYMORE.

[@ricoaranilla5949]

depends on what part of the philippines

John is smart and very articulate

[@marierocher4422]

We value respect and give it back. You’re worthy to be admired. Humble and low key. Keep going 👍☺️

[@mary-annokita5194]

that guy speaks good English .....and good he allowed to have conversation with you

[@LoneWolf-oi4yx]

Manoy Eddie is empressive. He understands Mergim's british/english accent quickly. Heheh

[@wilburtuason967]

Nice to see Mergim interacting with the locals and the two guys really appreciate talking with him in long conversation it's a good day for them having Mergim like a known friend.

[@pamirose8612]

Do more of this please! I like watching talented people do their arts, crafts, and trade. This idea could even be a series where you film regular Filipinos as they perform their jobs while you interact with them. It’ll also help promote local businesses and the population.

[@vp2953]

[@kayokomiyagi1878]

Moalboal is a small place. You will see the same person, easy to make friends.

[@sr16gotheextramile51]

Watching while having lunch here in Jerusalem, wow kuya Eddie can understand and speak english too.. Now lets watch.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

Thanks for giving kuya Eddie a hefty tip Mergim. It is not everyday that he earns double sir. So pitiful of people like him who works hand to mouth sir. He deserves a good life at least. You can tell he is a bit shy though doesn’t speak too much but hey he understands what you are saying. That is Filipino for you sir, always there to help visitors like you. Like the stranger you just accosted and asked directions from. Love my countrymen. So proud how locals treat good people like you. Just stay safe bro.

[@annalgesic5874]

These latest vlogs are really unique. It's like I'm eavesdropping to our private convo. It's as if you missed to turn off your cam and I accidentally heard you chatting with people. So raw that I am also entertained by the people "acting" in the background. Loving this style!

[@robertakizuki9806]

Great video by mergim, cebu’s nice!

[@richelleann9339]

Keep safe and enjoy the Philippines 🇵🇭.

[@IrmaAbare]

Really love your very friendly attitude and so kind, stay always lovable so Pilipino’s will love you more. Take care!

[@josepalma3312]

Excellent bro, you are truly showing the soft spot of the Philippines. It’s the people that counts. It’s more fun in the Philippines. Watching you daily from Philadelphia.

[@coramaybaltazar2889]

Yeah watching without skipping adds

[@helenbeltran6420]

It's good that both of your shoes has been repaired so that you don't have to keep on coming back for a repair. I like you being a practical person like the locals. 😊

[@gracianomendoza8671]

These gentlemen knew how to really converse in English bro, so proud Filipinos are so friendly and accommodating.

[@angjenvicarv2421]

It’s nice to see you having a good chat with the locals.

[@leihope9472]

Good job in extending the life of your shoes. Less trash....

5:24 hello madam in this country is rare but seeing a gentleman nowadays are very rare big salute to you always been a fan since

[@mcmep]

Another entertaining vlog. Cool shoe repair. Awesome interaction. We all hope your cough doesn't get worse. Stay safe.

[@podcastlimited8819]

Mergim, just go to a local market, buy lemoncito and create a juice. Make sure to use hot water. It's effective and affordable

[@chino538]

People there speak good english... Travellers and vloggers really wont have any trouble talking to people and or making new friends

[@darklordzerato]

You have an ego that is entertaining and personality so accommodating to the locals, I love to watch this video all over again! Feels so good👍👍👍👍👍

[@allansevilla5640]

Hi Mergim! If your really not feeling well, you can go to a drugstore ( mercury drug or watsons if they have it there) try buying beroca , its vitamin c tablets that you put in a glass of water. Or if you feel your havin colds, neozep or biogesic can help you

[@glennpamplona1398]

Ang galing mag English yung isa so fluent american accent pa, yung isa naman tahimik nakikinig lang..hehe just saying.

I just love how you interact with the locals. Supporting you by not skipping any ads.

[@nightwing4065]

It's like looking for an old legendary shoe samurai! 👍❤💯🇵🇭

[@Ilaya593]

Wow! I really enjoyed your conversation with the locals! Not many foreign vloggers take the time to slow things down and interact with the locals. I find that sad. That's what makes your channel, Mergim! Damn, you can easily pass for a local pretty soon. Pick up a few more local words and you're all set!! Enjoy and be safe!!

[@jeremynewcastle]

“I’ve been eating Siopao everyday man! You have to feel sorry for me” 😂😂😂😂. Laughing so hard when i heard that. 😂😂😂. I was drinking coffee and almost choked! 😂😂😂😂. You are funny. Love watching your vlogs! You have “Barkadas” now! Good for you! So easy to make friends in the Philippines.

[@dhennis888]

I love how you take time in interacting with the locals. Best way to understand difficult cultures. 🙂

[@AngryKittens]

Rugby is wood glue. It's a resin/plastic. Superglue melts plastic before hardening. Hence the smoke. You could have also requested that he sew jt. But that's usually only for leather shoes, since the stitching is quite visible on running shoes.

[@littlesparrow1284]

I'm still looking forward that you will continue the way you tell something about the place/history. It's something that makes your vlogs unique.

[@ezekielcalbog8482]

Hi Mergim, i love your interaction with the locals!

[@notsodailyvalorant7769]

That was easy hunt! Manong really enjoys what he's doing , look at that smile :D

[@John-vh3ig]

The shoe repair man looks like he loves what he do for a living. Big smiles too.

[@AlMuchiii]

Hey Mergim , check out other motorbike models like Nmax and Aerox, both from Yamaha. You can definitely go around the Philippines with those. I love Click125 too but they are not the most comfortable motorbike.

[@BikolanongLayas21]

That's what I love from the Philippines everything can be repaired for a dollar/pound... Siopao forever hahaha.. 😂🤣 Enjoy Pinoy Watching from Germany

[@ElviesTravel]

Love the raw vlogs Mergim. Not so much edit you dont need to spend too much time narrating and researching . Keep it coming. Love listening to the conversation with the locals. Buy handheld fan Mergim 🤣🤣🤣 it will help with the humidity

[@rosemaras9851]

How really nice of you Sir M...🤗🤗🤗.

[@user-mf2gi8mm9y]

You made a lot of local friends very cool 🤗👍 filipinos very friendly 👍

[@thenewyorker7624]

What an interesting video. Thanks for sharing. While in Moalboal you can do canyonnering in Kawasan falls and swimming with whale sharks in Oslob. These destinations are just around the corner. It’s not that far.

[@gracianomendoza8671]

Love singing now ha! Keep up that karaoke spirit. Your shoes will last longer sir. Wise practical move. Very Filipino

[@vp2953]

should give stickers instead of business card. Pinoys love stickers ❤❤❤

[@geliatorres5206]

Its nice you finally found him :)

[@rmd743]

Another epic Mergim piece👍. You rock mate🎸🇵🇭 Loving the locals of Moalboal. This City is beyond amazing. Love to visit that place someday 🙏.

[@perlaaguinaldo]

hahaha the old man is so mabait take care mergim

[@dnarrowgate]

I like the background music at the beginning of your quest. It was classic! Unlike other vloggers who do their usual monologues, you actually sit down and enjoy a good conversation with the locals.

[@markvincentcocjin]

Mergrim, you will feel cooler when you wear synthetic sports fabrics instead of cotton. Cotton feels better when you wear it indoors with air conditioning. Cotton feels terrible drenched because it clings to your skin making it hard for the sweat to evaporate.

[@Ravishing_Mr_Perfect]

To all foreigners, both tourists and vloggers, many thanks for visiting the Philippines. The Department of Tourism slogan, "ITS MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES" , welcomes all foreigner in our country. Thank you for promoting our country, supporting our local and tourism business,. Your comments and observation of our cities and tourist spots are important because it will help raise awareness the current condition of the places you visit. Constructive criticisms will help us to develop more, improve more, and clean our cities and tourist spots.

[@restymcdonald8339]

Couple YTer been to MOALBOAL so far that i watched in YT are SHEV AND DEV, ESCAPING BAREFOOT, CHASE AND SHELBS, and i think FEELS LIKE HOME TRAVELS

[@yusonicvlog4731]

Hi Mergim, great vlog once again..keep safe always..

[@TeddyCavachon]

What the shoe repair man is using out of the big bottle is called ‘contact adhesive’ which you can find at a hardware store. Ideally you put it on both sides of the work, letting both sides of the work dry about 15 min then pressing them together. Next to duct tape and Super Glue, one of best things to keep in the tool kit. The same glue technique is used to make the shoes so the repair if done on a clean, dry surface should last as long as the soles of the shoes, which from appearances isn’t very long 😂

[@eleenilagan]

Your background music is also legendary.. nice!

[@robconstantino8094]

Tip: if you want information about a place, always ask from tricycle or tuktuk drivers. They know everything.

[@Babimbapp]

Thank you for loving our local people ❤

[@FilCanGil]

First he applied the glue then he used an accelerator to make the glue dry more quickly (thus making the smoke appear). We use the same process for binding polypropylene tubing.

[@pausegame2319]

Would have been cool if he applied stitches. Always amazing how they work. Had my sneakers repaired and it should be good for a couple of years.

[@auroraborealis8703]

Rest & stay healthy. I hope your sore throat isn't Covid19.

[@yukianderson8359]

Get enough rest and healthy foods. Feel well soon.

[@TheLifeOfJoyVee]

Not bad for 2 shoes for P50. Mine was also Nike. Roshe Run. I paid 150 for the pair. Glue + Stitches. Amazing I can still use for walking. No need to buy new ones.

[@lucasplayard]

lovin ur raw vlogs! no need to do a lot of edits.. we love every detail❤️ as if you're just chatting with us.. 🥰

[@ceciliogranale7025]

Mergim your doing the right thing interacting with the locals! Stay with it

[@jovanessavf164]

I always go to the beach whe I feel like I'm coming down with the flu or even a simple cold. The salty sea/ocean breeze does wonders to your sinuses and lungs.

[@gerbera2489]

Morning mood 🎶 ❤️ First time for me to hear classical background music on vlog 🎶 The first I've heard of Morning Mood was when I was in elementary. My dad bought us these read along books with audio cassette tape and "Dick Whittington and His Cat" had this as background music. Thank you Mergim for another lovely morning video.

[@Canada93214]

ginger and turmeric powder with a little it of pepper plus sugar or honey, that should be good for your throat... all anti-inflammatory

[@cantonchannel2073]

amazing...

[@kcinplatinumgaming2598]

I found using boiled sprite (nuke it) with some calamansi juice deals with coughs and flu type things.. I sometimes also use ice-tea with lemon and one biogesic (paracetamol) boiled its basically lemsip .. well it does taste the same and gives the same effect .. good video

[@markusdoggo60]

Two thumbs up

[@johnv9910]

Im not skipping adds here hehe

[@jovanessavf164]

The universe is trying to tell you something.. Get new ones. Hahaha

[@badlongon525]

hey mergim, just wanna point out the distinction for better conversation with cebuanos. thank you in bisaya/cebuano is "salamat" or "daghang salamat" for thank you very much. "salamat po" is the tagalog translation of thank you. 😊

[@ilowcoast]

a very nice chat to those jef lads.

[@rosendoasakil6650]

Thats what we called an easy fix, if you want it to last longer you should look for a shoe repair man who would actually sew your shoe.

[@fishingbuddyph8786]

Nice job supporting the local merchants, Mergim! I have to say that I'm really impressed of how easily you make friends. BTW...I think the vlogger you were referring to when talking about cup holder is "CupofTJ" ?

[@bisdakpinoy3428]

Good job man talking to local Cebuanos ❤

[@jessejaime7609]

You can get a 2nd hand motor bike for half the price, but still in very good running condition. You go to a motorcycle marketing shop and ask them about a reposessed motorcycle.
