Is anybody paying less rent than me? 35000 Pesos or $620 American dollars?

@andrewross3188 2 дня назад

Yeah. I'm paying 8500 pesos for a three- bedroom, two- bathroom new- construction house with a gate and a garden, in a great location 😂 35k? They saw you coming a mile away!

@edmadrinan2022 2 дня назад

Cheap is a relative term. The Philippines is "cheap" for foreigners because of the buying power of their currency. The minimum wage in the Philippines is P650/day. That's barely $13 for a whole day's work. A teenager in the US working at McDonald's make $15/hour. A nurse in the Philippines makes an average of P30,000/month (around $600). You pay P35,000 for your condo. Do the math. BGC does not represent Philippines, not even close. Go to the provinces, you'll see the real Philippines. I'm from the province of Laguna, just south of Manila. It's the 21st century, but in my small town there are still many homes that don't have indoor plumbing, and a few that don't have electricity. I know, hard to believe, right? I could go on, but I'll leave it here for now. Have a good day. 😎🙏

Thank you Mr Brian all your positive description re the PH country & the Filipinos. Every country around the world has positive & negatives anyway. The best in the PH is fully relaxation, cheap facials & body massage, cheap clothings & cheap foods. The Filipinos culture ie: Bayanihan, warm friendly smile, love sense of humor, very hospitable & generous, easy going type of living.

@RedWhiteBlue. День назад

You should write a book about all of these, Brian. Love hearing your narratives in prose but they’re probably better off being read in one book

Maybe in10 to 15 years the Manila subway might be operational. BGC will be repucated in so many communities that by Makati it will be obsolete.

@hillroberts1311 2 дня назад

I believe, within 10 / 15 years, BGC will be a separate city from Taguig, and double the size. Those new towns and cities being built up and down the archipelago will be sought after like diamonds. I had plans of living in BGC, but my EURos will not be enough to sustain the kind of good lifestyle I have here. A shame because I'd love to live right on the premises, being a TOwnie all my life. Sure I can dine and wine, enjoy the ambience, once in a while. Thanks Brian for your thoughtful narrative. See you next year.

If you're getting your own AC unit get an inverter or a double inverter. It will cut your electric bill by half or more. By the way I pay around $360 monthly for my high-end condo in Ortigas, compare to my rundown apartment outside Los Angeles for $1,500

@andrewross3188 День назад

I agree with some of the positive feedback. Your narration is good and your writing is not bad at all. Better than most in fact. It's the content that kills it. Were you to stop idly boasting about how great is your life in the Truman Show , actually bring something of value to the table, and produce some meaningful content, I think you could have a good channel. So you have 36,000 stupid subs. What you want is 36,000 smart subs. The sky's the limit there Eddie.

Hi Brian love watching your vlog!!!!!

@ChuckFasst 10 часов назад

That is a rather flowery description of Balut, my man... I dunno ... 🤔 It's around three to four bucks for a cold PBR up here where I'm at on the side of Mount Hood. A little ways out of Sandy. That is if you want to hang out in a joint with the personality of a deflated balloon tire on your Schwinn stuck out on a cold, slimy mountain trail in the driving rain with a missing codpiece. 😢

@alaylaanajacks5647 День назад

Your comparing to Portland. Im not paying that much. Also BGC is the most expensive place in the Philippines so thats thr max youll spend a month for 1 person. Where im looking at i can spend that much for 3 people. Go to yhe provinces or othet islands much cheaper so thats even better but also you forgot to mention beef is expensive in the Philippines because they dont eat a lot beef and dont have a lot of cows there .

Yeah, true, but he is looking at it in a Foreigner perspective. Which I totally agree with him. I am paying $960/week for my 2 bedroom apartment in Sydney (CBD), Australia. That 35k/Month Pesos sure sounds better than $960/week.

@@JABM-AU well he ran through his list. Food, electric, rent. If he's not bar fining or drinking, you're looking at $1000. Those are his biggest cost. What else would add another 1k to 2k to his budget? And why didn't he mention such a costly item(s) Ubers, some other entertainment, etc are all small costs compared to the big 3.
