@@SusieinthePhilippines Visit, Discover, Explore and Invest in ILOILO !!! the regional capital of Western Visayas, just a 4 hours drive away from the World renowned Boracay island, it's a first class highly urbanized city, boast a unique blend of ancient history, old-world charm and comforts of a modern city. Iloilo is more than just a tasty La Paz Batchoy (like Ramen) or the colorful Dinagyang festival (The best tourism event of PH, every 4th Sunday of January). Do you love seafood? then you must dine to the two of the most highly recommended restaurants, Tatoy's Restaurant: famous for its native roasted chicken and seafood and Breakthrough Restaurant: grilled Managat fish and Chicken Binakol is the best, seafood is also available. Iloilo has the freshest seafood in the region because of the abundance from near by towns and provinces in Panay island, Ilonggo cuisine is one of the most delicious in the country, in fact Iloilo is now hailed as the Food Haven of the country and recognized internationally by UNESCO as the Creative City of Gastronomy in the Philippines. Visit our old Central Business District "Calle Real" (Royal Street) where the old world charm and the past is always present, the second old CBD declared as a heritage site after Escolta in Manila, J.M. Basa Street in Calle Real is famous for its Siopao (stuffed steamed buns), you can try it at Roberto's, Kamsukkee or Mr.Cow and Dainty Restaurant in Chinatown Iloilo (Iznart Street). Visit Iloilo Business Park (by Megaworld) awarded as the best township development in Asia in 2018, behold the beauty of its Parisian and Italian inspired edifices and enjoy its everyday festive vibe. Aside from old historical churches like Molo church and its amazing mansions "the Molo Mansion" among others Iloilo is also known for its Museums, some of the first museums in the country can be found in the city, a must visit if you want to know more about its history, people culture, traditions, arts etc. Our beaches outside the city like Isla Gigantes in Carles was recognized as one of best by Forbes magazine, not far away is Guimaras island and it's sweetes mangoes. Experience nature in the city? visit Iloilo River Esplanade, the longest linear park in the country, the best to jog, walking, exercise or just enjoy the sun and the river (the nature) especially in the morning, boat ride is also available in the area. Iloilo is also known as a bike friendly city in fact it is considered the Bike Capital of the country. Fyi: all public markets in the city are being modernized and two are positioned to compete with other modern markets in the world. The city has great and modern shopping malls too like SM City Iloilo, Festive Walk Iloilo, Robinsons at City proper, Jaro district and Pavia and Vista Mall to name a few, but many Ilonggos are now very excited to the soon to rise SM Supermall in Jaro district, according to it's management the future mall is bigger than SM Megamall, the construction is expected to start in 2024. S&R like Costco is also present located in Mandurriao district and the soon Landers Superstore at Iloilo Business Park. For entertainment IMAX with laser the first in the Visayas and Mindanao is now open in SM City Iloilo to give you a world-class movie going experience. In the evening a unique selection of bars and restaurants especially in Mandurriao district awaits you. Don't forget to bring home Iloilo with you, Biscocho by Biscocho haus in Jaro and Galletas by Panaderia de Molo Est. in 1872 is probably the oldest bakeshop in the country located in Molo district is the best pasalubong or take home, also in Molo is the famous Pansit Molo (like wonton soup) and Jo-ann's Fishball at the Plaza is also a must try. These and more... have fun, enjoy and stay safe. #CityofLove #HeartofthePhilippines #IloiloAt100WorldSupercities2023 #MeetYouInIloilo

Live in Dumaguete City area. Youll love the vibes there. Its centrally located you can go other areas easily like Siquijor, Bohol, Cebu, Bacolod or Mindanao! Plus there's a lot of expats who been living there for a long time.

[@juliuspalamos7863]

Nice one try negros oriental, where you can access to Cebu bohol siquijor and Mindanao

Dumagete seems like a really nice and peaceful place I liked it last timr we passed through coming from Siquijor

Try the Bibingka in Lipa City Batangas.👍🏽👍🏽😎🇵🇭🇺🇸

[@quintingoga220]

@Susie in the Philippines - those are the pandan trees which are used to make those baskets for the bibingka.

[@AngryKittens]

13:08 Those are pandan. Haha. The bags should have been a clue. Pandan is used extensively in traditional weaving in the Philippines. From bags to baskets to banig (bedmats/floormats), and in ancient times, sails of boats. They usually grow on beaches but can also grow in limestone-rich areas deeper inland.

[@SuperMaverick4u]

That was the longest trip from Nueva Ecija to Laguna and to Quezon Province… its really exausted but adventure from a Maxi Scoot… Have a Safe Ride ❤🛵

[@mervindeguzman4290]

I'm from Rizal, binangonan to be exact. My wife is from Quezon and we travelled that route very often. You travelled Antipolo, Teresa, turn left to Morong, Baras, Tanay, Pililla the last town of Rizal. Then you entered the first town of Laguna which is Mabitac, siniloan, famy, pangil, pakil, paete, kalayaan, lumban, pagsanjan, cavinte, Louisiana the last town of Laguna. The lucban, tayabas and finally lucena city😊😊

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Wow yes!! As I read it I can remember seeing all of these places on the map! What we saw from Rizal was a really peaceful after we left Antipolo. I love the beautiful view. I'm so glad we took this route instead of traveling through Manila longer!

[@mervindeguzman4290]

@@SusieinthePhilippines if you are going to bicol, from next town from lucena is pagbilao then atimonan which I recommend you go thru the old zig zag road between pagbilao and atimonan to see the beautiful view. From atimonan next is plaridel, gumaca, Lopez, calauag then bicol region.

[@oxoelfoxo]

ooh, if you end up staying a few weeks/months/years in all the regions of the Philippines that would be cool to vlog

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

It would be!! We want to move only for a few months first. Can't decide for our whole life without trying it first plus each region of the Philippines is so interesting on its own. Wanna see more before we settle down. 😊

[@jhoelmallana2346]

Sue, every time I watch your vlog, I really enjoy and relax the way you make a road trip. Just be careful while you are on the road. Pray first before you leave or go somewhere else . May Almighty God bless you and protect you. Love your vlog. Be safe always 🙏.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear 😍 love to edit the vlogs to be relaxing to watch!

[@AdaTechie]

Just some tips: the east side of Luzon, including the Bicol region, are more prone to typhoon, unfortunately. So consider that if you’re deciding on those regions. The less prone to seasonal typhoon are the western Visayas and Mindanao. If you like provincial life, but still have convenient access to prime cities, Pampanga, Bulacan, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Tagaytay, Cebu are good options.

[@NeoKrypton21]

Hi Susie, we, here from Manila have decided to move in to Baguio this coming May or June. Hehe. Not bad of a choice for the places you guys are scouting. But better to try to stay and live for at least 3 days to 1 week to get to feel the vibes of the environment, the community and security, and the ins and outs of things like how far the market is, is there a school nearby, is there a near hospital to run to in emergencies, cost of living: food, house, electricity and water. These stuff are always being considered when moving to a location. That's what we did when we scouted a location in Baguio. I hope you can fine the better and best place to hearts and your liking. God bless always, you lovely and humble couple. ❤️❤️❤️ Hi Jonathan, pare, regards. 👍👍👍

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Yes I agree, if we find s place we really like we will try to stay there even longer maybe a month to really be able to see before making a final decision 😊

[@jeshuaabramsolquillo-tm2kf]

[@albertotan4229]

Stay safe

[@AngryKittens]

12:23 Yep. That's what I said before. Real bibingka is a ricecake, a kakanin. Made with sticky rice paste and coconut milk. So it's soft and moist and spongy. It's why I dislike the bibingka in Manila and other cities in southern Luzon because they're more like cake with egg.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

I already loved the Bibingka in our area but I have to agree, this one is sooo much better!!
