[@inoob2tube]

I am planning to visit the Philippines for the first time, and cagayan de oro is going to be the first one I wanted to visit. Thanks for the video. The more I get to see it, the more I get hyped to go.

[@idoljamesvlogs]

[@Livingabroadalex]

Yessir! Will do 😊

[@BobConserv59]

Uptown is my favorite 😊

Thanks Alex, your a natural at this.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Thank you!

[@ripley7t429]

I just spent 10 days there. I stayed in Centrio Tower. Great breakfast place is CDO Hungry Breakfast. Kenny Rogers was horrible. Bigsby's was also good. Did all 3 of the malls and had a wonderful time. I will be moving permanently in early 2025. Probably spend the first year in Gingoog and then get a place in CDO Uptown.

[@Gurkha9]

I spent a few weeks in CDO back in 2022. In some ways it felt like a smaller Cebu. The Limketkai area near Robinsons was okay to stay in but I was always woken up by a nearby Mosque's call to prayer at 4:30am daily. The only area I liked was the uptown area, which was more modern. Saw quite a few expats around there at the condos and in the SM mall nearby. The downtown itself wasn't particularly nice.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Thank you for sharing your experience in CDO

[@drcldiao2]

Thank you for visiting my hometown. It is a beautiful city and very friendly people.

[@Livingabroadalex]

My pleasure 🥳

You’re in Downtown Cagayan de Oro… go to Uptown also, it’s beautiful up there. Uptown Cagayan de Oro is my favorite place.

[@gaufrid1956]

Tinuod na! Uptown Cagayan de Oro! Maayo gyud!

Props to your video formula. I notice the format and it works well. Preview, You speak the Intro, then Video. I like it. Oro is gold in Spanish by the way. There's a Cuban restaurant near me (been there forever) called El Gallo de Oro (The Golden Rooster). Great video. Enjoyed it👍

[@Livingabroadalex]

Oh, very interesting. You think I'd have looked it up 😆😅 I'm glad you liked the video, bro

[@VGalinar]

Have dinner at the Ridge, nice 180 degree view of the city. Amaya Resort during daytime is also a nice view of the city. Underrated FS Catanico Falls is only about 15 min drive from the CBD, but you need a local to go there.

[@glenn9057]

great vid bro. i will be traveling to Cagayan D'Oro in November this year. i live in Michigan USA. i have a friend who lives there in Tagoloan near Cagayan D'Oro. we will travel around the Philippines. this will be my first trip overseas

[@Livingabroadalex]

That's awesome! Enjoy 🥳

[@geraldinegutierrez5063]

beautiful vedio typical local living. my city.

[@dongens5256]

Kagay-an is derived from karay-an which means river in some austronesians languages. Oro is obviously spanish of gold, so literally Cagayan de oro is a river of gold !! Im a native in our city by birth y by blood

[@kayakcobber524]

Was in CDO during Sendong in 2011, big disaster. Cars ending up in trees and many body bags due to the typhoon. They even find a baby at sea in a coolbox.... Lots of adventures in Mindanao since early nineties. Nowadays it gets more popular!!!

[@krylleenesario8587]

Unlike any other cities in Mindanao, their Airport is not located within the city. It's from a different Municipality (town) called Laguindingan.

[@HazelHerman]

Visiting my first city i visit 7 years ago ! Nice Video ❤

[@Livingabroadalex]

Thank you 😊

[@thebigmann81]

Mortarrella wasn't so popular when i visited i thinkit dependson the area of the Philippines, mostly jeepney, tricycle with wagon or motor bike with side wagon is what i seen. For those that don't know Mortarrella is a bus hybrid with motor bike, a jeepney is a bus hybrid with a jeep truck.

Awesome!! Glad you liked it 🥳

[@Hicks-g1m]

Very cool Alex you went to Cagayan De Oro. My parents have a boarding house that someone is renting there. I might go there with my parents for my Mom's birthday coming up but it's a long drive to where we have to pass through and my parents are in their 70's and I don't have a Filipino drivers license yet so we are not so sure yet. If me and my parents go there we have to pass a city called Butuan which is about 1 hour and 20 minutes by car and 2 hours and 20 minutes by bus and then from there a dangerous 6 hour drive because buses and cars have to drive up mountains and I've seen a few accidents along the way there but Cagayan is a nice city to be in and it's convenient to just walk to the malls right next to each other

[@Livingabroadalex]

Wow. Sounds like a mission, but I'm sure it's worth it. Yea I agree. Many places are within close range of each other

[@larrye2679]

Is it possible to get a weekly or monthly rate at an air b&b cheaper than the daily rate. I haven't seen them advertised. Do you just ask and see if they offer it?

[@Livingabroadalex]

All the units on airbnb offer a discount once you select a week or more. I ask for further discount by messaging the owner

[@jazzpmp]

Dude, when you are in CDO, you got the best deicsion to ride shuttle to bring you to the airport, back and fort, the Magnum Express.

Tickle your adrenaline by doing White Water Rafting in CDO. The view along the river is awesome. About 90 km away is Iligan City, the city of waterfalls. Iligan City has about 25 waterfalls within the city boundary but most of them are hard to access.

[@Livingabroadalex]

I'd love to try next time!

[@PedroPerez80927]

You are visiting my CDO ❤❤❤

[@LA_Nomad]

Not sure why, but your videos never show up for me anymore. I have to manually go to your channel and check if you posted any new videos.

[@Livingabroadalex]

That's weird. Do you have the bell notifications turned on and have selected "All" from the 3 options?

[@emiliafilipinas9777]

Uptown CDO is beautiful, too.

[@dragmits]

I have been rafting in CDO in 2010 and wanted to visit again this year but it didnt came to that.

Cagayan De Oro is the 3rd biggest City in Mindanao 1. METRO DAVAO - 3.6Millions 2. Zamboanga City- 1.1million 3. Cagayan De Oro City - 800k

Whoa, really? That's so cool. I had no idea. Thank you🥳

Davao is so overrated city especially people. They are hyping their city

CDO is not best city in the Philippines and it's a highly urbanized city.. CDO is somewhere above average and we have everything we need here.. we have malls everywhere and a lot buildings business and more development to come..

Excellent video but I'm really disappointed those guys didn't take you up on the basketball challenge, I guess they're really not that hungry for Jolly Bee or else they're really scared of your skills and don't want to get humiliated!!!

10 pesos for a mango, isn't that like 25 cents or sumfin???

Sure is

[@amazonseller-yf8vv]

@@Livingabroadalex Thanks it's very interesting because I hear a lot of people complain about inflation in the Philipines but it seems that most of the prices are still pretty reasonable, don't you think so?

[@Livingabroadalex]

@amazonseller-yf8vv inflation here is real. Still good prices compared to US or Canada. BUT still really high for Philippines EVEN compared to just 4 or 5 years ago. This was just a half of a sour mango. Or a refilled soda

@@Livingabroadalex Thanks for the information, I'm an American living in Mosocw which is a very clean, modern and safe city of about 20 million people. I have a one roon Penhouse with floor to ceiling windows, a big loft, and all utiliities included for about $600 a month which actually seems a lot cheaper than what i'd get in BGC for eample. But Anways I hope to be over there by summer to check things out and consider living there. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
