My 2 favorite Mikes! These 2 guys are as real as can be, from spending some time with them! ❤️ I agree with 'Angeles Mike' that there isn't much of a "community" with the Angeles Vloggers. But I'm hoping to stay in contact with 'Angeles Mike' and see what we can do to change that. I know, from personal experience, that 'Dumaguete Mike' is part of his Vlogger community, and they stay relatively friendly. We need more of that in Angeles (Pampanga). Great breakfast with you guys! Kandi Palace restaurant serves some good food! Great video 'Dumaguete Mike'! More people should watch both of your channels! 👍
Hey Mike, why did you not let the other Mike finish his story when he arrived in Manlla on the first day of lockdown. I would like to know how he survived the first few days!!!!! awwwwww!
I like the topics and just great conversation about people who decided to leave crazy butt America and settle in a 3rd world Country. That is very interesting to me who served 32 years in the military and have traveled all over the world. Thumbs 👍 up. Mike to you and Paul.
Janet at the background vlogging for her channel, lol. Who doesn't have a YT channel in the PH, lol. 10:35 It seems like everyone is vlogging out there as if they give all the expats a free camera at the airport.
Great video. First time I saw this other Mike. His voice. He should be on radio. You mentioned some RU-vid drama. Recently, as I explore Philippine channels, I've come across some vloggers that are really mean! They go after other vloggers. I heard there was some RU-vid drama but just now seeing it. And, these guys just seem a little "off".
Buy pre- selling with a good condomium with a parking lot .It is not easy to sale with no parking , check developer reputation ...sign contract sell ..read fine print ...wait 2 year .Be consistent on payment . ASK the developer .How long will it take the Certificate of Title and DOS (notarized ) once the cash payment is released? . 6 months to 1 year, reasonable process . Be sure it is in Contract to Sell. CASH payment NEEDS official Certificate of Payment with receipt sign by the Director ...ask Notarized CP.ok ....this for Condomium ... For land almost identical more legal documentation .
I live in Angeles with my gf. Got here in 2016. Moved around every few years looking for a better place to live but I couldn't find it. Problem with living out in the province is nothing works and no expats to talk to, even getting money out of the ATM can be a disaster and no mall to buy Milk, cheese, etc. Angeles has decent infrastructure and great internet, can get fiber with converge, it's the best internet I've had in the Philippines. I avoid walking street mostly, there are a few expat local bars nearby.
@@josephsassone3753 the price would be all over the place. It could be 5000p a month or 25,000p a month. I don't try to go too cheap as you will most likely hate the neighborhood in the cheap places. They are overcrowded, noisy, polluted and possibly dangerous. I am currently paying 18,000p a month for a 2 bedroom apartment unfurnished in a subdivision with security. I live on a dead end road so noise is minimal. I prefer unfurnished as appliances/beds are cheap here, I furnish a place for under $1000USD, then everything is new, I'm not dealing with worn out junk I don't want. I also gave up on furniture, it is bad quality here. I just buy a plastic table and chairs and a nice spring mattress with a metal frame.
hi Mike,,got a question,,,im arriveing in philippines november 8,,does my thru ticket have to be same day,,or within the 30 days from arrival ? thx ,,love your videos,
Onward ticket just has to be within 30 days of arrival. I'm moving to bacong in Feb and still can't understand why a tourist visa is for 59 days but onward must be within 30 days. But rules are rules
I had to leave right after lockdown started. Manila airport was easy to navigate. There was no issue with travel and checkpoints were not bad all the way from San Pedro. Education is key, but the US based on my experience as a visiting lecturer has low grade education.
I think it’s just a sign of a new times, that condos will get smaller and smaller and pricier. I don’t know if that’s going to change anytime soon. In Lapu-lapu I had a showing for brand new construction condo and it was $6.6 million for a tiny studio one bedroom with not even a full kitchen with a countertop hot plate. Jeepny are the cause of so much pollution in several different cities on the Philippines Valencia is calling my name 😄🙌 The first building that was constructed about 2 1/2 years ago I think I was told, it’s already rusty cracks. It’s almost falling apart. It looks like 💩
HI MIKE , Great interview. This MIKE seems to be so friendly etc. Going to check out his channel. 42 street NO COMMENT LOL Of course I DON T know anything about that , if someone could invent a time machine and go back to the 70 s , NOBODY would visit WALKING STREET. Well , PEOPLE told me... TY MIKE , best to JANET GOD BLESS CIAO
9PM at night half the condos in BGC Manila are not lite up so assume they are vacant. Developers and sellers are playing the long game believing prices will continue to rise. With the recession scares in Japan and US 2 weeks ago, this plan may back fire. Luckily rents are still cheap with an over supply of rentals on the market.
I'm curious about the "good old days." When Margaritaville, Cleopatra's, and Route 66 were the big hang-outs. Swagman's Hotel (located a couple of blocks before the entrance of walking street) was the best place to stay in those days. It was a gravel and dirty road back then. LOL
I honestly felt like this guy was really great to chat with. I will be 40 in less than 1 week for reference & was never bored:) I agree with going at 9-10pm. It is actually far safer & you get far less beggers & hustlers because there are so many more foreigners they don't follow you for more than a second or 2. I went during the day for a haircut & had 1 guy follow me like 3 blocks, but the second he touched me it was a quick shove & 1 warning not to touch me. The only other time during my Philippines visit someone tried touching me was also Angeles, around the SM mall 1 young punk tried to touch my arm distracting me as I saw his buddy walking around me. Again, the above 1 single warning was all it took. I do feel like Angeles is near the bottom of the list in terms of quality of living for foreigners due to how many beggars & little pocket thieves there are. I was just constantly harassed during the day since far less foreigners walked through the city until the evening. It just makes for a very poor experience. But there were some good people & the Drake hotel was amazing with super great food.
@@mikesphilippineretirement some restaurants and some other small stores 13 years ago there used to be a hat shop there as well. And there was a hotel or 2 as well.
Hi Mike, we met kind of at the Drake I had just moved here and been here 1 week Angeles City is not for me. The end of the month I am coming down to Dumaguete should of listen to some that I know in the states.
You were talking about ---- air quality ---- there ------ could barely see the roof behind you ----- and definitely -- could not see anything behind the fence ------ must have been that way in front of you where you were sitting ------- So, is Angeles City ---- the --- "Walking Street " the same strip as when Clark Air Field Base was there ------ was there for eighteen months back in seventy-one? ----- Thanks - Mike for a video from the old stomping grounds ------- Rodney
This interviewee tries to present as a nice guy, but he is nothing but a keyboard type warrior on his youtube channel .loves to create drama and unfairly criticize others on his unsuccessful youtube channel trying to boost his views with negativity.
In March 2020 I traveled Valencia -> Dumaguete -> Cebu / Mactan to escape before COVID lock down. I have the SRRV PRA visa and don’t see my self returning to the Philippines because I have discovered Medellin, Colombia at 3 air flight hours from Miami ; and at my fit age 80 have for the past 3 years, enjoyed companionship with two Medellin svelte fit girlfriends ages 33 & 40 to share happiness, joy, and love on adventures in Colombia.
mike theirs a Belgium utube Karen wanting some one to give him your personal info address and full name said we will get you deported he says your breaking the law here offering consultations.
I don't think there is a US military base in Asia that doesn't have a brothel next door ... Angeles city is just one of them. Interesting how they have become big tourist destinations now bit like concentration camps in Poland...
@@mikesphilippineretirement As long as there was no will and no living ascendents and descendants a foreign spouse can inherit land from the Filipino spouse. My US citizen father inherited the land and the house here in Angeles from my Filipino citizen mother when she passed in 2015. Title is in his name and he continues to live in that house. My brothers and I as primary heirs declined to claim and my maternal grandparents have also passed.
Vlogging for dollars. Lol. I planned my retirement in the Philippines and brought enough money so I never have to work. Vlogging is too much like work for me. Remember to pay your Philippines tax on your YT revenue
@@mikesphilippineretirement when you go to renew your ACR card, you are now asked on the form if you have a YT channel. Philippines are now taxing YT revenue of foreigners.
