That bug attack was hilarious!!!

[@kevinreist7718]

I'm in Baguio right now, which is in the mountains and it was nicely sheltered during the recent typhoon (Marce). We didn't even lose power. Just a little more rain than normal. Baguio has perfect weather 72 degrees F, +/- 10 Degrees all year round. So consider the cost of all year air conditioning in a coastal town before deciding where to settle down.

[@johntalley7326]

Very different video and VERY informative. Thanks.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Glad you liked it!

[@oncall21]

Just speaking from my experience, having been in Bayawan several times, it’s a very quiet place. Food wise there are really no Western restaurants to rave about. The cinema in the mall shows one (maybe two films) and is often closed I found. The boulevard is nice but for me there is very little to do if you live there. There is a gym that is extremely affordable with a/c. If you want somewhere really quiet with very few expats then maybe this may be a place for someone to retire in. Great video Gio and thanks for sharing!

[@karlenzmann]

How is the equipment and the weights in the gym? Also...is there a regular market, to get fish and chicken etc..? Thanks

[@oncall21]

@@karlenzmann yes there’s a market for fresh vegetables, meat, fish, etc. The gym is not that large but has lots of free weights and a couple of nautilus machines.

[@puppyupper4565]

I have lived on the west coast of California, Hawaii and Oregon. I also lived on the east coast of Australia (no sunsets on the east coasts and are only on the north coast if you are on a peninsula that stretches into the sea). There is nothing like watching sunsets on the beach. Sunrises don't compare. Moving soon to the PH and will definitely live on either a southern or western tip of an island. Southern is awesome because you get both sunrises and sunsets on the water. Thanks for the video Gio.

[@PaulsPhilippineAdventures]

We were in Bayawan this past weekend and you are spot on for the lifestyle there. Our Filipino hosts were amazing. One of the things we enjoyed was dinner on the beach with a bonfire.

[@PhilippinesWalkingTour]

Great info !

[@jimsullivanyoutube]

Looks like it's less poluted.

[@kbtred51]

They have a recycling program

[@peterstroud6190]

Thanks for your informative videos. Can you suggest retirement areas to look at that have surf available? Peter

[@GiointhePhilippines]

La Union and Siargao

[@Hicks-g1m]

Bayawan looks like a relaxing city Gio I'd like to go there sometime

[@deltachris]

I had the pleasure of visiting Bayawan twice around 2016, 2017. The sign post in the centre of town stated 101 klms to Dumaguete ...which is not much in the west, however, it can be a 2 hour plus drive. I liked the foreshore area ...very long. The first 711 store in town opened when I was there & that proved to be very popular. I use to wander around the city market. Bayawan also is a great jumping off place to visiting the mountains behind the coast. Cheers Gio & Maya.

[@everyonehasadream]

Hi, Joe! 🙂

[@scottferris7234]

I’m going there for Christmas

More Bloopers!! please Gio............It add's some real comic normality at the end of the Video.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Ill try to get the bugs to hit me more 😂😂

[@andrewbernard1753]

I watched this on my TV first and liked. When you travel to and video new cities, I always watch. I'll return again February and Bayawan is now on the go see list.

[@markkillingsworth6044]

Thx Gio! can't wait to come check it out....Love you guys!

[@mikesimpson9997]

Nice place to think about for sure

[@bluemountainpeak]

You gotta turn the camera around so we can get a better look.

[@ssamsan]

Bayawan is one of the most environmentally friendly areas too..electric trycicles..

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Very clean, love it!

[@MrBbbruins8]

Thanks gio for continuous important information 👍

[@GiointhePhilippines]

My pleasure!

[@timjensen6968]

Sounds like a good place to check out.

[@TobyBloom]

Looks very relaxing Gio.

[@barryfriedman4049]

Gio, was that really a racquetball court or was it pickleball which is the newer rage?

[@GiointhePhilippines]

You know I'm not sure

[@Barolo818]

Like the new car Gio

[@kbtred51]

Is it a rental?

[@ChuckFasst]

That bug was a big sucker! 😮

[@AnthonyCataldo-ez5ej]

Went there a week or so ago to look at a property. Electric, small trikes and cleanest city ? in PI.

[@saulgoodman7221]

Do they have goat or lamb there for protein? I know beef is scarce and quality iffy when you can find it.

[@MrBbbruins8]

Just turned 60 in sept 2 more years and i will be able to take a earl retirement looks peaceful ✌️ there.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

It really is, for me it could be an ideal location for some expats.

[@7rileyst]

These surrounding areas to Duma are great! Would it be worth doing one North of Duma to a city on the Eastern coastline?

[@tonybattaglio4625]

What to do when your Mitsubishi breaks down?

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Lot of good mechanics here and a Mitsubishi dealer also.

[@nomogonzo9526]

I really appreciate the time u take, in comparison to where you live price and safety how does it compare?

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Very safe and the cost of living is low compared to Dumaguete.

[@BELAIR2000]

I wonder is their at least a chowking, mcdonalds, greenwich and Jollibee in Bayawan? If they not have any western restaurants or these then it be tough. Thank to anyone who can answer.

[@marcrichard7251]

No, I was in Bayawan in September and there’s no fast food as of yet….

[@ricke6854]

Looks like a reasonable compromise between city life and province life. Probably get an SRRV, so you wouldn't need to do visa trips all the time.

[@curtisbrilz1824]

Was there a large storm in Bayawan recentlt?

[@jumpinjehoshaphat1951]

Look like it's poised for development. Hopefully it'll remain Rooster-free.

[@hanovergreen4091]

Any chance you have video of the downtown area? How does that differ from Dumaguete? Thanks for the walk though, pretty area! Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@68404]

Why don't you move to Ukraine? Corrupt government, pretty women..just like the Philippines.

[@jimsullivanyoutube]

Well, there goes Bayawan!

[@GiointhePhilippines]

I don't have that much of an influence 😂

[@martinhall932]

10:04 Reply with Hey José

[@edwardpryce2596]

Hi , im from the Uk , living in Capiz near Roxas City . Been spending most of my life here over the last 4 years. Anyway i decided to move here full time . I have a shipment in Cebu awaiting clearance . Just a word of caution to anyone sending their belongings to the Philippines , make sure you talk to the agent dealing with your crate well before it arrives at port. Here in the Philippines you can spend half your time , pulling your hair out , trying work out why the hell they like making things more complex than needed !.😂

[@kyleesteban467]

Being called Joe, can be however You want to take it. But it is actually rude to be referred by this. If I ever hear it called to me, my response is, "Hey..., it's another Charlie. I definitely come from a completely different generation. It is what it is.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

I respond "Hey Juan".

[@karlenzmann]

It looks like a great place Gio... As for me, as long as there is a gym or two, a grocery store, a good public market to get fresh fish and chicken, it doesnt sound too bad to me. Hey...that bug could have been a good source of protein Gio! 😂

[@GiointhePhilippines]

lol yea I will get my protein other ways.

[@GARTEN-SCHNACK]

yeah, it is a quiet City, but, ...... as a German, who knows that place well, . it could be very boring !! 😎

[@richardhowe5583]

Nice place to visit but I would not want to live there.. good video👍👍 Glad you wised up and start using a car for your transportation.. very comfortable especially with the AC and windshield wipers for the rain..😮😊

[@TheOriginalRick]

If you could please add one thing to videos of this type... Mrs. Rick speaks Tagalog as she is from Luzon. Could you add information about the ease and common use of Tagalog in these more southern places.

[@kbtred51]

They switch to English

[@dennisb7930]

nice video Geo I was wondering didn't you do a video on a couple who trys to find filipino 's fsther from the west modtly military I just met a young girl who is trying to find her Dad from USA she has also recently lost her Mom? let me know thanks so much

[@kbtred51]

Advocacy groups are available, United Philippine Amerasians is an advocacy group formed with the help of the NGO Wedpro. An Australian-led program is using DNA to track down foreign fathers of forgotten children born to sex workers in the Philippines. Most of the tens of thousands of these children have been raised in poverty and not received any acknowledgement or financial help. In 1982, the US Congress passed the Amerasian immigration act, giving preferential immigration status to Amerasian children born during the Vietnam war in Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. The Philippines remains forgotten.

[@davidhaylett1810]

Looks like a ghost down for the dead lol

[@scottjohnson921]

122,000 at the 2020 census

[@andrewmponeill]

No English on your last couple of videos, no option to choose English in the settings either. In fact it randomly changes languages as the video plays. Very weird, your channel only. I'm watching from Canada.

[@Kevin-G-7]

Has to be your settings. It was all English all the time for me.

[@mrrobert177]

HEY JOE! You honestly have never had anyone say hey Joe?? I'm a 6' tall Midwesterner...people on cebu island, Leyte and Mindanao have said hey Joe to me literally thousands of times....maybe not daily but many times a week. I was walking with an American friend in Leyte a d he asked what do they keep saying to you? It was hey Joe....he didn't understand they pronunciation at first...so may e same for you ..u heard it before just maybe not know they were talking to you or what they were saying?

[@GiointhePhilippines]

I was being sarcastic, I have heard it a million times lol

[@kbtred51]

Worth reading up on the background to new places first

[@FlipElliott2]

So, what was the name they were calling you mean ?? PAJO ? pagio? derogatory ? They never called us NAVY guys names in Subic hahahahaa 24/7 ... Really strange such a laid back country, But some don't like that the Filipinas Love us ... Go ARMY

[@mauricechatigny1066]

It was a big bug.

[@siriousga]

Bugs are full of FREE protein. What are rents in Bayawan compared to Dumaguete?

[@MichaelStewart-y6b]

Great show thank GOD you dumped Paul plus RESPECT YOUR WIFE

[@nomadinthemaking]

*Hey Joe* love Filipinos and their no filter! imagine calling a Mexican Carlos or Pedro all hell will break loose 🤣🤣😂

[@Lazy-A-L33]

Gio, you do know that they charge money for bugs in Thailand.

[@dennisb7930]

Geo's not here today he caught a bug

[@floracredo9478]

Bayawan...if you want to drive hours away from the Airport.

[@Midwest10]

Expats in Dumaguete is what destroyed it, starting with US vloggers. Explore. Dumaguete is a crap hole. Avoid all expat areas. A wealthy expat living among the most influential

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Incorrect! What started it was Forbes coming out with naming Dumaguete in the top 10 retirement destinations.

[@michaelmensch6990]

Did I miss you buying a car?

[@wayneparke554]

Why does nobody talk about retiring to Bacolod?

[@GiointhePhilippines]

I will be doing videos in a few weeks from there.

[@jumpinjehoshaphat1951]

Looks pedestrian friendly. Traffic lights. Cross walks. Walkways not jammed with sidewalk merchants.

[@SirMountainpass]

It is too close to Mt Kanlaon and the air quality often gets above healthy levels.

[@BB-dp4kh]

Bayawan seems like another boring town in the philippines..

[@richardhogeland8597]

For gi joe foreigner

[@robertlloyd3184]

Looks like a place expats would go to spend their final days. No thanks.

[@northernbohemianrealist]

I thought it looked delightful. As an old guy, I appreciate the flat surfaces, little to no traffic, and quiet. Plus a new hospital. You'll need to excuse me - the tea is ready and my cats are meowing, plus it's almost time for Matlock.

[@kenamaro]

Doesn’t your EX live there ?? 😳😂

[@markmitera4521]

How many expats do you think will have to leave the Philippines when SS gets gutted?

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Well, let's see what happens

[@richardhowe5583]

Another one of those, sky is falling, statements.. I guess you voted for Harris? Think positive my friend and positive things will happen to you😮😮😊

[@damncars2618]

Without changes, the trust fund is slated to be drained by 2033, which would result in an automatic 21% cut to beneficiaries' monthly checks. Don't count on the SSI Ponzi scheme. You should also have a pension and savings to retire. You also need a hedge against inflation and a dollar crash.

[@wayneparke554]

​@richardhowe5583 you nailed. People love their fear porn. And any lie to sell the 'narrative'.

[@northernbohemianrealist]

Got to pay for those tax cuts to billionaires somehow.
