We Went to Maramag Market, Where to buy the Fruit & Veg

checking out the market for local fruit and veg as the supermarket packet foods is not for me

[@mikofi]

I can't believe that I went from watching your videos in order to learn about what will go wrong with my Mk5 Mondeo diesel, to getting to learn how to live a life as a farmer in the Philippines. Thank you Alan!

[@alancobbin]

I can certainly see why you moved fella,looks so lovely in the Philippines,the UK is dead and getting worse by the minute,thanks for the video guys 👍😉💪

[@paulfianatravels]

Alan ,,, uouve just added years on to your life living there ,, fresh food straight out of the ground,, brilliant learning about your life now in the Philippines

[@stevenfrance6648]

You look so relaxed Alan mate I’m jealous 🤗

[@bert-bb3cm]

Philippines is the number one destination 2024. Leave your worries behind and just enjoy daily what the Filipino people can offer you and your future wife and family. The world is getting too busy. I hope that you will enjoy the hospitality and friendliness of the Philippine people. Life is too short. Live your life to the fullest. Thanks for sharing your tour around the market. The fishes looks so fresh and I wish it was like that here in the US😊😅🎉❤❤❤

[@alan4x]

thanks Bert, yes this country is just simply amazing and that includes the people, I want to stay here although in reality will have to go back to England at some point but hope somehow I can make it work here for the long term, have a smiley day😊

[@ozziejoes]

What an amazing selection of produce in the markets! 👍😎

[@MattyEngland]

I've been a greengrocer for best part of 30 years. Produce looks very nice quality. The green seaweed stuff is called samphire

[@stephencatterson9320]

Great 2 see everyone smiling and happy instead of over here everyone walking around with big sour faces

[@stefanr.3495]

Glad to see you so happy and relaxed! Thank you for all your work on Mondeos, you saved me a lot of cash! I looks like you've made the right choice, will keep watching your videos! All the best!

[@dehv]

Nice for you guys to be considering the quality of life and welfare of these animals. Hope you make it a happy existence for them ✌️

[@philipwright7646]

Brilliant, just like being back home in a good old Blighty market maybe 50 to 60 years ago! Keep it up Alan, wonderful stuff!

[@Stop..carry-on]

Loving the new content Alan , very interesting. Cheers

That meal looked very nice. Made me feel hungry. Good to see life out there and I hope you enjoy life. It looks so casual compared to our structured life . Perhaps the Globalists' have missed the Philippines? Lucky for you.

[@andyc9401]

I’m glad you are happy with the move. It takes a lot of guts to do something like that. Well done. Looks like your loving life there.

[@oldgit1091]

Great insight to your new life keep them coming love the drone shots we only buy super market own brands better value for money no same it makes the big brands rejoice the price if they want to survive the rice cake equivalent to nipping to Greggs for a sausage roll I guess

[@bartoszk4812]

I'm glad you returned to that Raptor towards the end haha, I clocked it at 19:41 and was wandering if it was a Raptor or a Ranger 😂 Lovely market there 👍 I remember taking my girlfriend to Poland and she couldn't believe they had a market there every day with fresh meat, fruit and veg every day! Lol

[@johnchincotta1qwdb15]

No more fiddling with the spanners. Relax and enjoy your new life

[@OZlandbased]

The produce in that market looks beautiful, the colours are so prominent, the stuff we get in the supermarket here in Australia looks like it's been sitting for months on end before getting to the store.

[@MalteseMafia]

Not quite paradise I think. Never quite that sure on these long distance relationships. Each to their own.

[@gavinsenior50]

Dude I'd swop Sheffield for that place any time, It all looks so much fun, Massive respect for you upping sticks and moving, I'm sure you won't miss Britain 😂

Hi , here in Cebu we pay 80 pesos a kilo for banana but strange back in Canada price is cheaper, the banana you boil or fry are cheaper and like you said have a nice taste. Take care, .

[@chrisgeorge2421]

Hope your dream works for you, you obviously love her and I really hope she feels the same way. It’s a good decision to keep your house in the uk just in case. We never know how things are going to work out, so live your life the best way you can, and I hope all works out. You have my sub. All the best and I would love to do what you have done.

Will be following this with interest. My wife is from Mindanao. We chose to live in the UK, certainly until she gains citizenship. Brave move. Out of interest how long have you spent over there before committing to the move? Good luck 👍

[@flyingalbatross9634]

150 pesos for 1kg of broccoli is the same as prices here in the U.K. People are literally working to eat out there.

[@links7622]

Alan, that fish on display which you described as big is a yellowfin tuna

[@walkyrie38]

the short stucky bananas is how they should be, they will be full of vitamines etc. The chiquita bananas we get are rubbish and void of any nutritional content. You have proper fresh food there ripened on the trees and bushes. No wonder food tastes better over there :)

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

It looks a very busy little town.How are you getting on learning the local language Steve?

[@julianchambers8372]

Hi Al. Looking like your enjoying life over there. Did you take your spanners? Was it difficult to get a visa to get in and live there. How far are you from the sea.?

[@yathongleung]

Looking at these food, you are going to live so much longer and healthier than us eating plastic wrapped poison here in the UK

The fish you're used to in UK from Tesco's is indeed very bad! Far from fresh! Be brave and try the local varieties! You'll be surprised! :} Cheers!

[@adriver4471]

filipinos are always getting sick and i reckon its from eating contaminated and non refrigerated foods Those fish and meat products are festering in that heat with lots of multiplying bacteria How many times have you heard in the Philippines “i got a fever” “i got a sick” it’s not rocket science 😊

[@oldmanronan8473]

Ive just randomly come across this. I live in England and I also have the same reservations about this country, everything is too expensive and the wages and opportunities dont match. That being said... This fella has met a woman online moved into her life with her and brought some financial backing to her run down farm. I get some serious warning bells here. But hey ho even when it falls apart in a couple of years he can at least say he had the experience.

NEVER mind the fruit & veg alan, find some tools for sale and go and join your mate who fitted your new brake pads, don`t deny it , you heard the sound of that airgun and the feelings came flooding back, your still in the honeymoon phase at the moment, in a few months time, you`ll be standing in the middle of the road near that mechanics holding a placard up to all passing traffic which says ............pull in dito para sa libreng kotse repairs!
