The best places for foreigners/expats to meet Filipinas in Iloilo City, Philippines.

In this video I consider where the best places are to meet filipinas in Iloilo. Iloilo is a young City, referred to as the City of Love. Walking the downtown streets of Iloilo, around City Proper. I also visit The Riverside Walk, Festive Walk/SM City and Robinson Malls, plus Molo Church & Mansion. Meet pretty young filipinas doing Tiktok. It's always easy meeting friendly filipinas who are willing to chat with ageing foreigners who always say that age doesn't matter.
I love cities. I walk each day for hours pounding the streets. I find much more life to see on the streets than a hike up a mountainside. Even if I’m not taking photographs or shooting video I still like the energy and interest that a city provides.
The Philippines should be on everyone’s bucket list with its beautiful white sand beaches, fabulous idyllic islands, turquoise sea and stunning scenery. The Philippines is a traveller’s paradise and regularly included in top ten favorite places to visit in Asia and affordable, favorite world holiday destination.
Many foreigners/expats choose the Philippines as the best country to retire in Asia and live in paradise. The Philippines is one of the cheapest countries to live in the world with its low cost of living and all year sunshine. Retiring in the Philippines is affordable on a budget of less than $1000 per month.
Filipinos are welcome and warm people. Filipinos are often regarded as the most friendliest nation in Asia and nicest people in the world. English is widely spoken throughout the country. The Philippines is included in the top ten English speaking countries in the world. The majority of Filipinos are highly proficient in English, so it is very easy to strike up a conversation and make new friends.

Iloilo is the absolute best city to live in the Philippines, more progressive etc, spent a lot of time there over the past few years and love the place.

[@globalismoblackman]

I agree I was there in 2017😊.Iloilo city is a hidden gem. Better than overrated Cebu and Dumaguette.

I was born and went to college in Iloilo City. The nun wearing the gray one is our nuns in a private college as a nurse. Been working in the US for 32 years now with my filipino husband. So enjoy your stay in Iloilo. Most of us are conservative there and work hard to get a degree in college.

[@BiggWorldCinema]

You come from a lovely city. I hope you're enoying living in the US. Where in the States are you based?

Planning to retire there in Iloilo in 3 years. My spouse attended college there as well. She is from the other side of the island. LAUA-AN. She has been here in Delaware, USA now 14 years.

[@Eric-qm5xw]

Are they the native girls though…they are the best.

[@briannewton9369]

@@Eric-qm5xw Not sure what you mean, but to clarify: Philippines women come to Canada on temporary work permits, usually three years. They are a mainstay of the minimum wage type businesses like McDonald's or they are caregivers. There are others that have managed to marry Canadians a some point and became permanent residents, and some have brought their family members over to Canada as well. There is no shortage of Filipinas, born in the Philippines, in Canada.

Because after covid no contact ❤

[@pingflores5327]

Why are you so worried about people who wears face mask? To let you know that women in Iloilo City are very friendly and caring but not flirty like women in Central Visayas. Have fun in the Philippines.

I agree with your perspective In 2017 I observed the Ilonga Filipinas are different from Cebuanas Filipinas. They don't jump fast after Kanos so quickly like I always saw in Cebu or Manila.

[@globalismoblackman]

​@@jamesballard6564 I don't have a problem with a Boss Babe cos I am a Boss Guy too, as long as both energies are utilised to build a great relationship. I like women who can stand on her own feet with ambition and drive not the over dependant type on gringos resources.

[@suskagusip1036]

​@@jamesballard6564 Ito masasabi ko sayo ha...those women he met are educated. Yes go to Cebu and Recto, Manila and Olongapo if you look an easy way. Just FYI a British man has a street and a statue by the port there. He was a British diplomat and a businessman that built a sugarcane empire in Iloilo City in the late 17-18th century. This was before Philippines became a USA territory. Many millionaires in Iloilo City. You see their mansions there. I run into this vlog cuz that was my way before from IDH to my home near villa beach. Many universities in Iloilo City City. There's security guards by the door. I'm saying this because Education is more important and a must among Ilonggos.

[@crabman45324]

I enjoy your vlog. I am a new subscriber. May I suggest that you use better wind screens. The ambient air noise is quite disrupting. I particularly enjoyed the beach/scooter trip with Regina . I have not been able to find any follow up. Is there a part II, or did you part ways? She was a keeper! Thanks from USA 🇺🇸

[@timlee5260]

You are quit good at conversation. It is surprising to me that you enjoy being alone as well.

[@BiggWorldCinema]

I know. I'm basically an Introvert, spending the majority of my time alone. So when I'm out I need to engage with people.

[@davidb5034]

The reason they keep wearing the face mask is it keeps the sun off their face so their skin stays lighter. And they save on whitening creams. So my wife tells me because I keep telling her to stop wearing her face mask

[@BiggWorldCinema]

Good point. But surely they'll end up whiter in that area that will look weirder. If they're that bothered about the sun, they're better off wearing a niqab with just their eyes showing.

[@davidb5034]

I know, but this is what my Filipina wife tells me. I tell her repeatedly every time she is wearing that mask, that she has the most beautiful skin color, but she hates it. I guess it is like they say, we always want what we don't have. I'm Canadian, so I don't have any color. Like snow.

Great video enjoyable to watch, us old farts need to stick together. l say embrace your old fartiness and the girls will follow. Get a hair cut, a shave, a manicure, dump the owl like glasses and Jesus boots for some John Lennon shades and trendy trainers this will help cultivate your David Bailey image and you will do a lot better. l generally find Asian women like clean shaven and well presented, then "get lost grandad " will be a thing of the past....🙂

[@Ace-zw1db]

2:33 It's a bit creepy of you shoving your camera to her face. She's clearly uncomfortable, you should've stop filming her at that point. Majority of the filipinos are still hesitant to talk to strangers. It's not that she's shy, it's just strange.

[@BiggWorldCinema]

I did stop filming her. I don't know how many videos you've watched on this channel, but if you do, you'll regularly hear me ask if it's okay to film. If you find it "creepy," then don't watch anymore. If you continue to watch and content commenting on how creepy it is, then take a good look at yourself in the mirror.

[@Ace-zw1db]

@@BiggWorldCinema on her part you didn't asked her if it was okay to film her, hence she was uneasy. Why would i take a look at myself in the mirror, I'm not the one being creepy out here. If you can't take criticism, then better stop being a vlogger.

[@Hoochie243]

Here is what I don't understand with all these videos.... everyone talks about the best City to meet a Filipina..but here is my best place to meet a Filipina...Near or at a University and College. I want a educated Filipina that is strong and independent but can benefit with having a Doctorate Degree. I well off to support a Filipina to earn a high education and advance in life....a Filipina is like a Butterfly...you can catch one with a big net by chasing her around or you can sit in the middle of a garden and wait for the right one to land on your shoulders....here is the issue with most Foreigner's is they can meet a Filipina but don't know how to Keep her Happy...

[@BiggWorldCinema]

You're right. But how many filipinas want to gain a Doctorate? A mature University student or Call Centre Agent with good English..The majority of filipinas you "chat""with online can't hold a conversation.

[@TheMRMEAN69]

You can get an independent and educated woman here in the United States and be her door mat..

[@Eric-qm5xw]

The say elite Filipinas will require a higher class of guy too, much like you desire the same..looks, humour, honesty and number one a good provider is on their bucket list. Suffice to say a modern city professional girl will certainly entertain you…aka keep you on your toes.
