Iloilo City The NEW Best City To Retire and Live In The Philippines Cost Of Living Breakdown  

Thanks for watching

@@aaronaround 🤝

Yes it will be interesting to see in a few years

Yeah I do tend to forget about davao

yeah it is

yeah it is smaller I guess it is clean and more spread out

haha

Yes of course. The look is interesting thanks for tuning in

Alright nice well I would visit it first if you have a chance 👍

I appreciate that... thanks for tuning in and leaving a comment

I agree. Very good content. Check out another vlogger: 02 Travel TV. He's a Filipino and narrates his videos in English, one of few I've found in regards of the type of content I'm looking for. He and his wife travel all over the Philippines.

yeah it is.. it is smaller though

Yeah you should. I know but it seems to be on the top of everyone's list

Yeah well it is a good place and a lot of people don't go there as much I don't think

That is for sure

Really the best food in the country?

I doubt it can beat Manila in food. It’s cream dela creame here.

​@@aaronaroundit's the first and only UNESCO Creative City for Gastronomy in the Philippines

I appreciate it :)

Yes it is clean and very nice

Yeah of course thanks for tuning in

Oh wow that's funny there you go ha

Yeah pretty nice huh

Yeah you definitely should

@@aaronaround great vlog mate

Capiz and Negros Province. Western Visayas have the highest Human Development Index and Poverty Rate in Visayas and Mindanao region. Best outside Luzon

haha yeah I know what you mean it is nice there though and I think it will develop more in the future

​​@@Penko-mu2Capiz and Negros Occidental has the highest HDI???

@@Penko-mu2 haahhaha Capiz is one the poorest provinces in teh Philippines along with Antique, Iloilo is poorer than CDO as per PSA, has the same level of GNP of Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue with the same population LORDS over Iloilos economy. another delusion Ilonggoy

It can never be another Cebu it is a mid size city of 400,00 compare to Metro Cebus 3 million city population, second Iloilo is decades behind and is much poorer than Cebu, Iloilo lacks capital and foreign investment, in Visayas all factories are in Cebu, the Philippines Shipbuilding capital, Steel, Cement and manufacturing in Cebu

oh yeah I bet only 25 for electric thats pretty cheap

@@aaronaroundyes it is the condo was on 8th floor wind blows right through the place and at night it’s cool no need for ac I’m from Florida heat don’t bother me

thanks for tuning in

ah ok yeah thats makes sense that is a hub

😂😂 wag ipilit mahiya kau mga manol😂😂😂

Davao city is 10x larger in land area and 4x the population compare to Iloilo. Davao is a melting pot from all over the country. Strangely enough, 15% of Davao population are from Iloilo, originally, same goes with other southern Mindanao towns and cities. Bacolod, 70% of population are 3rd or 4th generation are from Iloilo too. Migrants from sugar boom 120 years ago. Iloilo city is pretty much 90% Ilonggo in ethnicity.

Yeah sure thanks for watching

ah ok nice yeah it's growing rapidly it seems like

Yeah you really should!

@@aaronaround maybe I’ll look you up looking for some land with my wife. I don’t drink either lol been there done that.

yeah I think they will

thanks for tuning in!

oh yeah it is nice

not particularly to be honest

Yeah it's true I don't know where they are

I know there is a lack of space for sure. That is what's more about Iloilo city

@@aaronaround Yes and if developers will spare the farmlands and just use all available idle lands then economically Iloilo will have 2 inexhaustible source of income. Unlike in mining for example which Cebu has.

@@alexonorep5978 interesting

nice yeah it is a good city. Just enough to do I think as well

Easy to find a good pinay there?

Oh yeah it should be good for you. it is peaceful and quiet. Thanks for tuning in

Hello guyz love always watching featuring my City..I really love Iloilo City my best place to live ...wherein I can buy cheap fruits and veges and fresh fishes ...

I'm a 2 yr resident in avida.

Oh yeah big time

oh really that's the first location?

No worries thanks for checking in

I would recommend megaword or the avida I showed in the building. If you stay in megaworld you can walk to everything. I didn't go to the beach there but I know there are supposed to be nice beaches no more than an hour away

There’s a ton of avida which I think is owned by Ayala

Avida Village and Amaia Scapes :))

yeah but it's gererally the same... just depends on how legitimate the exchange is that's the main factor

haha yeah

hm I think right now it would be Cebu or maybe davao... although I do really like Iloilo

Yeah it does right. Well it is nice that's for sure

You know I didn't look too much into that but I did see a couple big hospitals

I thought they changed that a few years back

​​@@aaronaround I think k foreigners can own a small to medium size business. I remembered that the previous administration put that into law since Charter Change is still out of reach. How I wish they would amend that constitution for more inviting business climate. I still don't know for sure about the ownership but I specifically remembered that Duterte signed that into law.

Oh wow well you have had the grand tour... yeah well you might get bored there

hey thanks for watching

yea I know I just mean in terms of popularity seems like the top three tend to be manila Cebu Iloilo

Yeah I haven't gotten one yet I am sure they are good

haha it won't

It wont and it never will

yeah of course new discoveries haha

yeah

What do you mean ENERGY of Dumaguete that Iloilo lacks?

​@@ernestdmenace3200selling burikat

@@ernestdmenace3200wala kuno kaplog di 😅

​@@ålheaiNehahah Tawa man KO s comment m bahh.. may Ara man na da gru ah🤣

Hahaha. Loving Dumaguete. ❤️

Davao is overrated

@@Penko-mu2get your facts right and do not categorise the local population in an insulting way

I do like it though. safe and clean

really?

Most cities in the Philippines have frequent power outage too...big deal🤣

@@heavensgrain2521 not in iloilo there was one time for almost 1 week completed 7 days last few months ago where brownout happens. it so annoying especially at night when you need the fan or ac because its too warm and you need to work at home. Im not an expat but a local so i know.

it's great... great prices still I'm sure

@@angelsantana3001 no that’s not the exchange they gave me less then

some would say

look at the title of the video

Villar, Araneta, Gokongwei, Montinola, and many more had Ilonggo roots even big businesses CEO like SM, Robinsons, Ayala, and many more are Ilonggos too. Real talk

Yes the 3 biggest failure cities of the Philippines in terms of urban planning and population management. These cities are simply gateways not necessarily the biggest contributor in our economy because the Philippines is still an agricultural country. a magnet for cheap labors where people from the countryside are duped by the shrewd businesses and businessmen.😁

@@alexonorep5978 Correction, Metro Manila economy counts 35% of the whole Philippines economy at $140 billions 2023 GDPnominal. and DAVAO CITY economy is the largest among the Cities outside Metro Manila with $12Billions 2023GDP nominal.

@@nielk799 10% cheap labor and 25% from agricultural products and by products for a total of 35% nominal ek ek of Manila😁

@@alexonorep5978 cheap labor? Mataas pa daily wage Ng Iloilo kaysa Cebu at Davao. What did you say na Ang Iloilo is not big contributor of the economy? Did you know Iloilo is home of big name in tycoon in the Philippines? Villar , Lopez, montinola, ledesma and many more. Iloilo is the best seafarers product in the Phil. Why did you say na Ang Iloilo failure Ang urban planning? Kaya nga sinunod Ng ibang Lugar at example nga nila Ang iloilo like esplanade at diversion road and culture, mansion, churches and public market renovation. Wait lng ha Iloilo and french company construct desalination facility biggest in the Phil that can produce 65,000 cubic mtr of water from salt to fresh water. And ictsi is now operate cargo handling in Iloilo.
