How about we take you to a million subs someday? The world needs to see, there is abundance of Love, friendship and happiness everywhere we travel in this world!!!!

Thank you for all the hard work Michael I enjoy watching the parade It reminds me of my younger years when I used to join parades with our costume More power to you and take care God bless

Cool thanks for sharing I like all your videos

Hi Michael. Good morning I’m one of your subscribers. Regularly watching your videos. I appreciate your hard work in showing Philippines to us who have no chance to visit many places especially Iloilo where I’m from. Thanks for regular release of your videos. I can see your dedication and sincerity. All the best and take care. ❤ I’m sharing this video to my friends and colleagues. I especially like this Guimbal festival because the costumes are mix of modern and traditional. And most of all you presented the contents excellently. 👍🏻

Thank you 😊

Gwapang province girl & nice Iloilo vibes! ❤❤

I really enjoy seeing this. It's so wonderful that they continue to embrace their culture through such a great event. Sooo great to see Kat too!

Thank you for featuring our Town GUIMBAL, hope you'll comeback on december as we celebrate DISYEMBRE SA GUIMBAL for 10days.

Was such a fun video to watch. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you are living your best life and you are a Perfect example of how to live in the Philippines.. Experience everything it has to offer and be connected to the community and the people..this is how you learn about a culture is to travel to different islands..😊

Mike this vlog episode is beautful. We feel your dedication and passion, you braving the sun and staying there almost the whole day while keeping the energy up and staying true to the essence of the festival and its people is outstanding. Your effort is seen, that's why you are respected in the community of vlogging. You give relevant content by putting your heart out there. Sadly I cannot say the same thing to your ex. Congratulations Mike. Well-done!!

Thanks Michael, awesome video 😊 I feel like I'm there. I so want to check out of my city. I've spent 7 hours in gridlock already this week.

Guibal people are expressive people. I like it! this should be the personalities of developing country.

Our home town.. GUIMBAL..

Great video! Kat is charming.

Great video, the vibes are so positive. looks like everyone is happy. very nice coverage, keep em coming Mike.more power

Mike, thanks for sharing. Now I miss Philippines Fiesta festival, you 2 are so much fun to watch.. Enjoy each other, wink wink

Aloha was awesome video captured a real kindness there great job!!

Thank you for featuring the diverse and colorful culture of my hometown. Balik balik lang. You are always welcome in Guimbal. 😊

Big thanks in memory of Nonoy Jalandoni, my friend and former bandmate who's now pased on. He's responsible for bringing Samba as a festival into the Philippines. He taught a whole city to samba in celebration of their Pasalamat Festival in La Carlota City in 1979. I was there on that incredible day in May. The city had been suffering from a massie, months-long drought, and before the parade could start, heavy rain fell down on the city. The city erupted with joy, and the whole parade spontaneously started minutes before its supposed start. Since then, his La Carlota Drumbeaters have become legenary and Samba has spread throughout the Philippines. Mabuhay ka Noy! CAVEAT:I WAS WRONG! Listening to the drumbeaters, I realize that this is not samba;; neither is it Ati-Atihan. It's a blend of both, and unique to Guimbal. Congratulations!

Enjoyed seeing all the fun

You’re Becoming Filipino and I think the Gov. of Iloilo needs to nominate you to be an ambassador of the 🇵🇭. You’ve been to so many parts of the country in just 2 years 💙Bravo! You’re one of the hardest working vlogger promoting the 🇵🇭

Thank you for all your hard work!🎉😊

I'm moving to the Philippines in July and have a question. It would be fun to travel around and experience festivals in various cities, but how does one find out about these festivals? Is there a website that provides a list of upcoming festivals? Great job, love your channel.

Thank you Mike for all you do. I've made it my mission to visit many of these beautiful places and people. Expat Gary from Muntinlupa City.

Thanks for covering the Guimbal fiesta...

Michael another great video. I so love the culture and community and pride of country and city. That is why I live in the Philippines. I am looking forward to this evening street party and seafood feast. I love living in Roxas City. CapizTahan

You are everybody's favorite, Michael. Viewers and people you interact loves you and your content are great. You stand up from the rest. You have unique content whick other vloggers do not do.

Kath is a keeper! She is a simple filipina with a True Heart!! Just a simple person with a Soul!!!

Iloilo City has lot of old churches declared by UNESCO as world heritage site. Thank you Sir Mike for sharing our culture to your audience around the world. Take care and enjoy your stay in the Philippines. God bless you and your family always po...

Such talented musicians. Really cool to see. It was great to see kat again. She is really Cool.

I am so excited about a positive aspect of Phil.

Truly amazing. Thanks for sharing. I was at a Junkanoo festival and parade in the Bahamas. The energy as the different tribes competed was amazing. This festival reminds me of that.

Thanks!

Also, I absolutely LOVE all of your videos brother. Please keep going and being yourself. You’re incredible!

very very very cool video

great place!

Great fiesta! And welcome back, Kat ! I have to say though I feel for you guys, that heat is just astonishing! Glad you survived it, noticed the water bottle, smart man. Thank you for yet another excellent video!

Hi Mike thank you for taking us to this Event I'm in the US and unfortunately I'm missing it ❤🥰

Thats a huge church

Wow, that was amazing, best vid yet…

watching from MANILA good work

On that beach house. Suggestion: Offer the 35000 he wants, minus receipts for materials and labor for improvements. He gets his 35000 peso dignity. You get to fix the place up on his dime.

Welcome back Kat!

Ito yung first time na nalaman ko meron palang place na Guimbal. Dahil sa tagalog ang guimbal means shock

When the first Spaniards came to the Visayas - they found out there are established fiefdoms or mini kingdoms which can muster thousands of warriors - the barangay leader called Lapu lapu on the small island of Mactan assembled one thousand plus warriors to confront Magellan according to historian pigaffeta who was on board Magellan ships - what more the Malay kingdoms on Panay & Negros islands - what you see is their ancient cultural practices -

New subscriber. I am enjoying watching your vlog. Watching from Sacramento, California.

Fantastic Festival.. Thanks for the video of this. Would like to meet you in person soon. Marylou and I are planning; but will see how things go.

My hometown❤❤❤

Happy to subscribe amazing video vlog watching now from the Philippines 👍👍👍

Wow! Colourful Fiesta!🎉 You should get plus 10k subs after this!😆👍🇵🇭🇧🇭

I just recently found your channel, and very glad I did. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole time watching this video. Thank you for your content. When I get there I will definitely run up to Iloilo area, seems like a great place.

Great content 👌

The only time I step on Iloilo soil is a stopover going to Zamboanga. Just step off the ship and make me feel I have been to Iloilo. Had so many friends from there. A neighbor in Fort Mckinley was an army doctor, name of course Villanueva. Beautiful kind of people. Now I see why.

Ya, Katherine is kid size...lol...she is short...and wow, so hot there, 43 Celsius is 110 Fahrenheit! The blueberry shake looked like a 'halo halo' shake, Can not imagine how much time they must have spent preparing for that festival, just amazing. Nice festival, thank you for sharing, Michael...Jim

Happy days for you my friend ... Happy to your enjoying life .... Cheers

So fun! Thanks for braving the heat for us. Small Request: Poor beauty queens have to stand in the heat, dressed up, with a HUGE headdress. Why not wait for a smile from them?

Its really nice seeing everyone enjoying themselves. Looks like a wonderful time.

I got 7 more weeks before i land in Manila for the first time traveling this far in my life and I'm very nervous

❤❤❤❤

Nice

Hey mike

Recently broken up, a new place, a pretty young lady previously seen and who was unemployed makes another appearance... where there's smoke... 🔥 Everyone can expect to see her again is what I thought the first time she appeared.

Kat is the girl. Will Michael be a keeper ? 😊

Kat said subscribe 🤔😏I did it 🤗

Watchin this after havin watched the how to get trap by a filipina😅😊 omg.... luv guimbal iloilo luv d placeee❤❤❤❤

I'm not a huge fan of Ra-Ra-Ra bullshit patriotism or civic pride, I'm a cynical person from a cynical country, but its hard not to be impressed by the hard work, enthusiasm and talent these young people display.

I missed the grilled “ pantat “ fish 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

@That Philippines Life. Woooow kat your stalker is back,better and more beautiful than ever hehe.. Hope you don't mind me saying Michael, but she ten times more beautiful than the ex haha.. The ladies are doing an awesome job running that town. 😊😊❤

I don’t know if this is inappropriate to ask, but did Kat get the job that you were trying to get her? If someone wanted to send her family some things to help them, is there a way to get in contact with them? I hope I’m not overstepping, but my heart aches for her just trying to do her best and raise her daughter. She seems so very kind and just a genuinely good person

Mike and Catherine sounds good together

Kat is really cute, you could do much worse

Your name is Mr iloilo.

Hi. Sorry for your marriage ending. Can I ask, how do you plan to stay in PH now in regards to VISA ?

Bianca must be watching somewhere over there.😂

43 celsius is 109.4 farenheit. Sheesh. I would just be a puddle on the sidewalk.

Looks like you found a good one

Please dating Catherine and make her family in law and be step farther to her daughter

Hello 👋

kat is back
