There were 2 Canadian vloggers who live in Cateel CDO, Becoming Filipino (Kyle) who has a house by the beach and his friend Bret Maverick ( he no longer in the Philiipines). Kyle still living there and now a Filipino citizen.
I’ve followed Michael before his breakup and now I’m watching him re-grow the new channel after he gave the original channel to his soon to be ex. I’m rooting for him. We’ve all seen the reason for his success as he may be the hardest working RU-vidr in the Philippines.
Two of my favorite vlogers, both have taught me so much about my move to the Philippines. After months of pIanning I am flying out next Tuesday with my 2 dogs and not looking back.
Work with the airlines about your dogs. I brought my service dogs over as I’m fully disabled. The VAT was acceptable, however I then brought 2 puppies over and customs assessed a ridiculous, obscene amount at 2 AM and stated pay it or we will just keep the dogs. It’s a long process and can be overwhelming as they are your furbabies and stressed out themselves but well worth it. Be patient, it’s just the way it is, stay calm everything will be fine, go with the flow it’s the Philippines.
With all the things Michael has done for the travel industry in the Philippines,and the good he has done for the people, the government ought to recognize him as the outstanding person he is and reward him with automatic citizenship.
Michael has a good heart. Check out his video on cleft pallet and a recent one on graduation day in the hill country. He made a huge impression and a new direction. Good on ya mate.
I am a fan of both channels and especially Michael's as he is a fellow Canadian. I am planning to visit the Philippines and he has put Iloilo on the map for me. I am especially heartened by his charitable work. The Expats are guests in the Philippines and they live there to take advantage of the lower cost of living - no blame or fault there. It's obvious economics. The grace and happiness of the people seems to make it all especially lovely. It's a wonderful gesture of Michael's, to give something back.
Canadians standing out! Michael, Kulas, Brett, Alex, Chad, Jan and Ann. They are all representing and doing it well. The real star of the shows is the Philippines! Where else are you going to find such beauty in the people and the landscapes.
Michael is a great guy. We love him for always being helpful to someone. I came to Iloilo to visit him but now my wife and I live here. Great interview
Mike always strikes me as a good guy, clean cut and definitely dedicated to vlogs. Treats it more of an occupation with enormous amount of work he dedicates to it. (Most just vlog very adhoc). Additionally he’s giving back to the communities with assistance of subscribers.
He’s done ok I reckon, considering his marriage breakdown and continued growth of his channel, hats off to him, subscribed to both your channels for a while, enjoy them Both immensely, please keep up the good work.
I love this mike. Very down to earth. We've met in one event and he literally include us in one of his vlogs which helps us boost our mobile business. Not like the other vloggers who just wants an xdeal.
Thanks for covering this part of his life. My personal favorite I'd like to see Michael date is the model that he featured in his visit to the horse farm. She was amazing: cultured, intelligent, and beautiful.
Rob you are really getting around and Michael is a very nice guy. So many interesting stories. My wife is a very famous actress and she and I get along so well. She confides in me on so many things. Will me watching how Michael and Cat hit it off. Good luck Michael. I was watching as saw what was going on with Michael and his significant past and saw the handwriting on the wall. I have been around many famous starlets, many. I know many personally. God parent to a beauty queen who won. IN ASIA.
I like that "Then Everybody's gonna know! Everybody's gonna know" You go Michael.. Happy your doing so well with everything you do. Amazing... And I've learned from you too
Chrissy & Rob, Thanks for a great interview of Michael. You guys & Michael are 2 of our best Vloggers to watch. Content of questions were awesome. We’re pulling for Michael & Kat. Headed your way July 31. Thanks Barry & Joy
Really good Q and A Mike and you should be proud of yourself for all you've been through over the past yr or so and how you've developed your channel through lots of hard work n dedication, I'm also happy you've got a Kat In your life and hope this is for long term....keep up your amazing Blogs Mike....
Michael is a great guy. If it's for you it will come.Just take it easy and enjoy your stay in my beautiful country and you'll eventually meet the right woman.Watching from Canada 🇨🇦.
Wishing you much success and even greater happiness Michael on your new exciting path. You are a good guy - really enjoy watching your channel! Amping! 😎
Michael is an outstanding vlogger he can educate his viewers and focuses on details that a viewer is interested to see. like the intricacies of the architecture and such. more power to you michael
I enjoyed discovering Michaels original channel and watching a married couple travel and navigate life and new experiences in the Philippines. I found it odd when I sensed they were drifting apart but waited to see what was next. I never expected them to go through a divorce there and assumed the channel would die off. However when Michael started pumping out several videos per week on his own it kept me engaged. Now with Cat and the little girl I find a renewed enjoyment watching his interaction with them. I love the travel vlogs however with the new bar I know the channel will change again. I was always curious Mikes age as I knew he was to young to be retired. I do not see much coming from the other channel however his ex silly videos are not of interest to me. This was an excellent video and interview and I enjoyed learning the back story on all this. Good Luck to all !!
This is great. I watch both channels and they are both very well put together. I am planning on moving to Philippines in 2026 when I retire and look forward to possibly running into both of you. Great video
I have been to Iloilo and CDO and found both were too big for me. I have followed Micheal for quite a while now and he does have a great channel. Was a great interview.
Well done you two! You and Michael have always been on my top 5 you tubers list! This was one of your best interviews!! Wishing more success to both channels!
Wow! Michael is my favorite YT vlogger and daily fix. Fellow Canadian and truly a great guy and showcasing different experiences and places of the Philippines - the true Philippines Life. Good to hear Michael on this side of the microphone. Thanks for this interview
Love Michael's channel. And I love this channel too. Different perspectives offer a more varied education. I am trying to learn all I can before arriving.
New sub from Michael and Biancas channel. I heard CDO and immediatley subscribed its my home town. Last time in CDO was 2010 now in Olympia Washington but will be going to CDO in Feb for a month can't wait
Great interview Rob and Chrissy and Michael 😊 I love both your channels and learn something from each every vid 👏 I’ll be on my second visit this year in a couple of weeks and so looking forward to it 😊
You guys and Michael have great channels! But honestly there are no other channels that actually come close to the standards of Filipina Pea in terms of quality, imagination and stability. But that is a good thing - it gives other vloggers a lofty goal to which to aspire. Keep up the good work, Rob and Chrissy!
The Filipia Pea's channel is indeed terrific. Fly Me to the Philippines provides different content. Maybe it won't have so many subscribers, but it is thoughtful, interesting, and fun. The interplay between Rob and Chrissy is at the core. There are different but overlapping audiences. There is room for both and others as well. I also like watching Paul Old Dog and Life Beyond the Sea. I learn from all of them.
what most guys dont understand is ........ these women are experts at "melting away your concerns" In other words they are excellent actresses. You cant trust someone in the Philippines until you have been with them for a minimum of 10 years!
bataan is an entire province though not a city.... Id suggest Balanga if you want city like life... mariveles if you want beach style... Orani is nice middle sized city.... I love bataan. i could see myself there too
You're very right to be online about 45 days before coming. None of that panned out before coming, but once there I kept up the online and found one. We married.
Really superb video. Mike does indeed work tirelessly, supporting a lot of great causes and educating us about the Philippines. Excellent questions for Michael, there is something for everyone in this video. Highly recommend!
Guys, best advice I ever received changing countries was , Trust but verify! Gives everyone a chance be good and deliver, but verify reducing risk of damage from actions of others.😊😊😊
Please Michael please visit Cagayan de Oro city, it’s a beautiful place too just like Iloilo but we have Uptown and Downtown areas and a lot of beautiful places to visit and check out including Bukidnon and Camiguin Island.
Sir MIchael is such a nice person and I would love to invite him again to our next event, I hope so! I love how he came to our buffet event last may 25 and didn't expect for him to vlog when we met ahhaha, anyways it was nice meeting him.
I am intrigued by your YT discussion. I felt like my YT channel was sabotaged by the YT crawler some years ago. The analytics chart was insane. Dropping from a fast rising 35k views and climbing fast... To only a few dozen within 1 hour! That stopped me in my tracks. I have been upset ever since! 😢
Hi.. I ran into your channel because you were interviewing Michael. Glad I did. Great interview. I've been to CDO probably 6 times.. and stayed at Seda or thereabouts close by. I like the malls there, but I get a different feeling in Mindanao than other parts of the Philippines... Is it just because of the area I was in maybe? I took a bus east to go to Siargao and was amazed at the beauty.. I know friends in Pagadian that want to meet in CDO.. but I'm not sure why... just not wanting to go to CDO... Airport for one.. So just was curious of your thoughts. Thx po
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I have been there 2 times... 2020 and 2022 Pacifico Beach was beautiful in 2022 but sadly the typhoon wiped much of it out. The areas I loved were gone when I returned in 22. Maybe they're rebuilding now. In 22 I also noticed an overwhelming number of tourists. Bohol is a wonderful visit. I've been there 3 times. Many places to go especially after u leave Pangao. BTW- Pagadian girls are "Beautiful"
Chrissy asked a different question and he answered about why he chose the name of his channel- we included his answer but had to edit out the realization that the question was not about choosing a RU-vid name.
Sir , you try in our City Zambonga City got pink beach. I'm currently working in an engineering company in Singapore . But if you want to visit our city in Zambonga City. You get in touch with the department of tourism there.
Rob please contact Michael and tell him to very seriously consider getting a Contract/Prenup with the women he is living with. There are Many circumstances in his situation, including but not limited to Common Law, that he can find himself Financially responsible.... he stated at minute 10:15 "OK, I guess we're a family now"!! This is serious dude. She now has him stating the fact in public on Video. The Pea and her lawyer friend Gracie did an episode on this a year of so back. OK enough of my rant...... Regarding Iloilo, I will restate my comment from your last vid -- I get that it's new/modern/clean, but it seems sterile, expensive, and too spread out like a Western City. Your thoughts on that. Great interview. Peace and Love, B Goat
Iloilo is a very small city.. please clarify your statement of TOO spread out.. I know it has a lot of open SPACES unlike many Philippine cities.. and being clean and family oriented city is NOT being STERILE.
does michael have a video on the landlord and agent that did the "bait and switch"? id love to know more about this since I'm coming to the Philippines in december.
Not sure about that, but this video here you might like it talks about things to be aware of when signing lease agreements in the Unlocking Success: Master Your First Year Abroad ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SdAYsqVEtR0.html
Yes Finn Snow I like his style and he made a book about what he found new species of sea creatures that's not yet recorded. And its already available in amazon. And the yatch is already operational they their first customer dive last march and there is up coming trip to Tubbataha reef.
I like to know what so far are you guys used to do your RU-vid videos and if you use your iPhone how do you hold it straight up and down or sideways please help assistance is needed
