Ormoc City in 2024 is so very different! 🇵🇭 PHILIPPINES RAW VLOG

[@royperges4758]

I lived there for 3 yrs. How ive missed the place a lot. It's been 22 yrs. God bless and more vlogs to come 👍👍👍

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

We hope you can return my friend but we will continue to show this beautiful city and people. God bless you 😊

[@thecosmicsnail]

I like the raw vlog. It keeps it real and unpolished just like life.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thanks Ryan. It’s something we will do more often. Usually we have 1 hour+ of footage we trim to 12-14 minutes and it often means cutting raw footage out. We record a lot but post less often than we would like but editing like this is far quicker. Have a great weekend my friend 😊

[@2mym768]

Hi from Michigan. I grow up in Ormoc City and enjoy watching your videos. Brings back wonderful memories. ❤

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Good morning my friend! Have a wonderful day 😊

[@lotjasmine]

Miss Ormoc City, great food and people. Used to buy flowers in one of the churches there to bring it to ODH where we had our internship, oh my , oh my time flies so fast...Lots of great improvements🌼, I wonder if Bebidas is still there, hahaha🌼Love they bay area....

Thank you my friend 😊

A pleasant morning walkabout, how nice..and a spot of breakfast, all very relaxing..thx ! 🙏🏻🇵🇭

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

[@raymonde4272]

A funny raw vlog Adam and I believe that you are correct about the origins of Break Fast. The flexible prices don't just affect foreigners but Filipinos too. They will charge according to how well off you look, some Filipinos tend to stick to their regular sellers or look for ones that display the prices. Incidentally the one thing that always has its price displayed is uncooked rice.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend. Sometimes English words are simple as they are direct to their intended meanings. I noticed that too that the clothes people wear can also mean inflated prices. It’s not completely a skin color or nationality thing. God bless you 😊

[@teammitrekovic8410]

I watched your and other vloger videos and i noticed that for example Ormoc is very clean city. It is pleasant suprise,i was in Manila wich is in some parts terrible,garbage all over the streets. But province is something else. We have house in San Jose(Ormoc),plan is soon to go there becouse our house will be soon almoust done,also that will be my first trip to province.Enjoy in simple province life with your family. Greetings to all

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Good luck my friend and yes, Ormoc is getting better and better 😊

[@papalolo3769]

I cannot wait to be there in August. I am so jealous, you lucky Limey. It is looking good in Ormoc, I love Lorenzos.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

August will come around quickly my friend! You’ll love it here 😊

[@KingBeeinthePhilippines]

It's been 6 months since I've been there in Ormoc. I miss it and my love so much. I can't wait to get back to them both.

[@Brit-Pino]

Breakfast is correct!! Its the most important meal of the day. They say breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince, dinner like a pauper. I have done this combined with 2/3 liters of water per day, and I am currently 40kgs down. Obviously I had it to loose and needed to.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

That is awesome my friend! It’s true that breakfast should be the biggest meal of the day. God bless you 😊

[@mikemel6976]

This is Confused Traveller, i can't seem to get into my original Google account. Anyway my wife and I were in Ormoc City late October and i can't believe how much they have fixed it up it looks good. We are moving to Matag-ob in a couple of yrs and hope to see you. And by the way when you called Janes mom Lola that is correct because she is a Grandma isn't she?😁

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Hi my friend. Yes, Jane’s mum is Lola to Isabella but not to me 🤣 we hope you can return soon and we would love to meet up. God bless you guys 😊

[@mikemel6976]

@@AdamandJanesLifestyle We use Lola as the Patriarchic of the family, maybe that's a Canadian/Philippine thing ? It's also used as a endearment. Anyway keep the vlogs coming we enjoy watching your family.

I wish prices come down here in the States. Almost all goods are so expensive anymore these days.

[@americanandpinay]

Walmart is getting ready to increase everything two percent in NC. It's what the manager told me the other day when I was shopping.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

We really hope global prices drop my friend. God bless you.

[@KeithFLOOK-wd3uw]

Unfortunately prices for things won't come down, all that will happen is that the increases will be lower and slower.

[@martyg1717]

Come down to Florida to our flea markets you will find much better prices on fruits and vegetables than in the Philippines, even the Filipina pea said so when she came to the United States

[@martyg1717]

Does it concern you that the Philippines allows their farmers to use a pesticide by the Dow Chemical Corporation that has been banned in the United States and most other Western countries for causing cancer

Hello Adam and Jane! Where there are cars there are pigeons. Lol

Lorenzo’s cafe looks good. I should try it when I’m in the Philippines.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

It’s a nice place my friend. Great menu and very nice view from the terrace 😊

[@jcarbiero]

The 100 oranges were for you. Haha, jk. It's very nice to see the fresh produce in the farmer's market.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

It’s great to see it all my friend. Have a great day 😊

[@americanandpinay]

Adam always is polite and friendly. He's his own atmosphere. Jane always is elegant and proper. Do you feel more at home now in the Philippines, Adam? Even if you feel like a ghost in the market? You know what would correct that brother? Learning Filipino or Bisayan. There's an online site now that teaches them for 9.99 (USD) month or 120 for a language. 1 year guarenteed to hold basic conversation or money back. Or so they say. What's a basic conversation though? Good morning.. How are you? Maayong buntag, kumusta? Ok ra pud. Kumusta? Maayong Man. Maayong pud. Maayong sa Adlawg pud. Because that's not worth it.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Thank you my friend. I’m learning Tagalog and understand quite a bit of Bisayan. I am using an app called Drops to learn Filipino. It’s coming along. 30 minutes a day. God bless you 😊

[@richardbrown9344]

Why...Most Filipinos speak English ?

[@americanandpinay]

@@richardbrown9344 If you're American. Would you consider yourself a fluent Spanish or French speaker from what you learned from K-5 grade? And if you did happen to learn it, how much did you retain after 40 years of not speaking it? Mostly young women speak English very well because they get online and speak to it to each other excitedly as they learn it if they haven't been taught at home. Boys are okay, but not comfortable. They'll understand you but might be shy to speak back to you. So yeah, the younger you are the better you speak English, but once you start speaking to people around 35-40 it starts to sharply fall off.

[@americanandpinay]

@@richardbrown9344 Pt2. Western identity crisis has also quickened a Filipino identity crisis in the youth.

[@wintersojourn9356]

They should sponsor you becoz I will highly consider Drops just becoz of you, Adam.

[@homebasebelgium359]

I never had breakfast at Lorenzo's, but I often had dinner there, especially the times that I dined out on my own. It's such a pitty that they are demolishing the Villa Hotel. It was actually a nice hotel. My ex and I used to stay there before the construction of our house was finished.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

Lorenzo’s has a good menu and lots we would love to try. A good central location too. God bless you my friend 😊

Pigeons are a huge bussiness in the Philippines,they RACE them a lot(have not been home in thirty plus years but seeen on you tube i seen the episode that they released them on the Island(Batanes) and they fly back home to their owners.They rate them base on their arrival from the released point.

[@skatingeezer3952]

1:49 you'll usually be qouted a higher price for any item compared to the price they tell Jane,, but we understand...

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

I didn’t want to say but you are right my friend. It doesn’t happen always and most vendors are fair but now and then it happens. Have a great day 😊

[@americanandpinay]

Not always, but a few try doing it. We refuse to buy and the prices will often go down when the vendor next to them is willing to do the right thing. To be honest. Having my food jacked up 50 pesos here and there doesn't bother me. It's when I want to buy property for 900,000 and they find out that I am American and they start saying 900,000 was mistake. They wanted 90,000,000.

[@jpjr3759]

Its so sad what happen to the foreigners in Philippines, i also need to hide when we go to the market, because they up a lot the prices because im not filipino.

Wish we had local markets like this in the states....U said prices are starting to come down ?? Here in the states prices just keep rising. Veggie and fruit are so so expensive and continue to go up

Hahah yes the Foreigner tax very sad they see white skin and $ signs An American friend told me when he was in the Market in Tacloban look for his favorite fruit in Season. He was talking in perfect Warray to the vendor when she wanted him to pay triple the price. He asked her do not notice i am talking to u in your language. He politely declined and went to the next door vendor who was laughing when he purchased a large amount at a fair price.

[@AdamandJanesLifestyle]

It’s always a shame but we vote with our feet and go to sellers who don’t inflate the prices. The decent and honest never have a shortage of customers 😊
