[@williammiller206]

I just think Kat is such a beautiful person and adds so much to your KZbin channel. 🎉🎊😎

[@Joe-mz6dc]

You have many gifts. You're good with people. You're good with your woman, good with children and you're good with work/life balance as well. Congratulations. I hope your restaurant is a huge success.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Much thanks 🙏 try my best

comparing the fun enthusiastic attitude of the Philippine people is so enjoyable to watch....everyone in North America is too cool to have fun.

May the Lord bless your Beautiful Heart some more... Blessings will come your way...

[@alveradavis9537]

I wish you (and Kat and the little one) ALL THE BEST! 👍🏽💗💗💗 You are doing a lot of impressive “stuff” ( more than stuff) and I Pray that everything you do is BLESSED…. new fam, new business and all the “donating” you do and promote to help children and their families ! You are “ God sent” to so many there in the Philippines ! Take care !

[@TB-xx4gc]

I was looking at your new home and was thinking how great it must be to live and enjoy the outdoors at the same time. I do wish you the best in your business venture, though I have a feeling there is going to be some real growing pains, as you've already experienced. But, hang in there! I have no doubt you have the determination and commitment to see things through.

[@tomhunter2623]

Looking forward to hanging out at the Beaver when I get back from the US. Enjoyed the video of Independence Day. Roxas City is a great place to live. Much pride for country, city , family , heritage.

We will be excited for your return to Roxas City Tom

Nice beachfront property 😊

It’s 7pm here in Ajax Ontario and I’m sitting here enjoying your video

Kat looks happier and more relaxed now. and no doubt feels part of things. Well done for welcoming her and her sweet child and making a difference to people's lives. God bless. from London.

I admire your life Michael. Beach in front. Road at the back. You can travel. Living in the seafood capital. Low cost. While I am slaving in a Top 5 Bank. Living in this jungle called Bacoor (1st Cavite town from NCR). Traffic, heat, etc...

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Don't miss that life my friend, 26 years of that was enough for me

[@PhilippinesLife101]

Haha You are not far from me. I'm in General Trias, Cavite.

[@brianbarbarich1401]

It is up to you if you want to slave it up or dump it and live your dreams whilst you still have time. I do not pity those people slaving it up when they do not have to. Obviously money is important to you but remember no amount of money can buy you health and time in life. I gave up slaving a few years ago and do not regret or feel guilty about it. I adjusted my lifestyle accordingly.

Surprised too that Kat didn't want to drive..lol. It did look beautiful at the waterfront at sunset. Happy Independence Day Philippines! Cool hope you have great success on your opening day and on your house. Thanks for the update, Michael...Jim

I can't wait to see what your place will look like once its done.

Roxas City Capiz is my second home. Last time I was there The People’s Park was still under construction. Can’t wait to get back to check it out.

[@lwovert8148]

Dude I love the way you have bounced back and where you are headed with your new family. Looking forward to seeing the opening of the bar. Good luck to you, Kat and Laura.

[@gilfgrow9461]

For people who are so very lonely visiting here would be like family so friendly !

[@Brian-Future]

Good stress is the only stress to ever have. You got this brotha! Things are flowing great. The home and bar are coming together. Life is good! Good luck and keep it going bro. We got your back!!

[@wadefries]

Michael you should look at getting a portable solar generator. It can run on solar, power from the house or run off a small windmill so when there is a brown out you would have power stored in your portable solar generator. EcoFlow Pro would be more than enough for all your power needs. Or an Anker Solix is another one or a Bluetti A300. It's something We are doing here in Texas in case of power outages.

[@jakedmc]

Just saw a review on the DJI power bank and it looks pretty awesome.

[@Cap_management]

I agree. it's 21 first century and battery backup is much better than noisy generator.

[@sizzykelly]

Wow your so lucky to have that beach front

[@irabankston3390]

We so happy for you. Living on the beach is happening 😊 A business that looks to have lot of potential. Life is good brother. Be safe

[@pobrengotaw6306]

just try to reinforce the roof or just make a rooftop to prepare for possible typhoon in the future.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

The owner has a typhoon plan they have ratchet straps that will be installed over the roof down to the ground when any are announced to head out way. Plus we will pack up electronics and valuables and go to the downtown hotel until it passes

[@dougparson4407]

Enjoy these moments - little ones grow up so fast and having a business will test your patience but has good times as well. Fun to see everything coming together !!

there may be single mothers everywhere . but there has to be a connection. to the mother . and eventually a love for the child like shes his own . and its clear to see . he loves this little girl . without the love they wouldnt be living together . but even before all of this there had to be something big that made him feel hes ready to give his love to the both them . its such a beautiful beautiful thing to watch grow

I'm not complaining

[@aboveitall9600]

Depends where you are and who you know. It’s not universal

[@S1DEWALKSCH0LAR]

True, it's a shoot from the hip op in construction here, my house in Rizal took 1.5 yrs stop and go because of my money wasn't enough had to wait reload, the Pacquiao the job package are best pay after lump sum amt, fast as he'll, if pay by the day they take Thier time

Hi Michael 🇨🇦 ! Just a thought during brown-outs. Hyundai makes the Ioniq5 EV-- great EV car that also can be a portable generator! The tech is V2L (vehicle 2 load) and can power the house and appliances for multiple days WITHOUT any noise or gas.🎉 Pretty cool new tech with certaina EVs that also double duty as a power generator! Best wishes

Well done Michael, so happy for you guys. Great to see new businesses popping up by Expats.

Maybe we’ll get a chance to come visit your new business when we return…by the way, love the name Canadian Beaver, very creative, lol. Best wishes for great success!

[@EdwardOpana]

Some advice from someone who was in the restaurant and bar business for over 40 years.. 1. Give yourself some time to prepare… especially in a foreign country like the Philippines.. Be prepared… don’t jump the gun and set an unrealistic opening day if you don’t have all your ducks in a row.. Soft openings are done to get the kinks out… you don’t want so so service on your first day.. Makes a bad impression.. Training takes time and organization… So many aspects to even getting opened.. Wish I could help…. I myself am retired in the Philippines… But I am in the US at this time. Good luck… be watching you vlog on your progress.. Ed O

[@johnmcmahon8294]

Very concerning

[@virgilioPendon]

Michael I know that you already have generator if and when the power goes off again, also the water supply can be an issue during your opening day.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

It's city water so we shouldn't have issues from what I understand. Especially since the drought has ended

[@EV3R3TT]

Might want to looking to solar panels for the bar. Offset that very high electric bill with proper roof from left to right. If it rains, everyone will run to the side that is covered.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

Within 6 months both sides will have a roof, lots of plans. Electrical bills consistent 5k to 6k a month so not that bad even if it goes up 40% by increasing the size to be honest

I was wondering when she replied…really wait that doesn’t seem…🤔?! But I’m numbers dyslexic. I was thinking, was 126 years the original freedom from Spanish colonial rule?

Roxas City will surpass Duma in expat soon. Lots of advantage in Roxas. Also very close to Boracay and Iloilo City

[@northernbohemianrealist]

I have a strong sense of foreboding. Yes, it is too fast. The business, especially. I live in northern Wisconsin, where people from Chicago retire, get bored, buy a restaurant, then lose it to bankruptcy in less than a year. We locals tell newbies to wash dishes for a year before putting all of their retirement savings into a business they know nothing about. They are above washing dishes, then a lot of other things. Gordon Ramsay has done a lot to warn people.
