Thank you so much and thank you for watching 😊

Nice one try negros oriental, where you can access to Cebu bohol siquijor and Mindanao

Dumagete seems like a really nice and peaceful place I liked it last timr we passed through coming from Siquijor

@@SusieinthePhilippines municipalities near dumaguete is not as hot compare to other place, you can look at Pamplona, sibulan, Valencia where a lot of expats live right now then bacong, Dauin down to south of negros island,

That's a great idea, I should!!

It just got even more tiring later on! It was definitely our longest roadtrip yet!!

Wow yes!! As I read it I can remember seeing all of these places on the map! What we saw from Rizal was a really peaceful after we left Antipolo. I love the beautiful view. I'm so glad we took this route instead of traveling through Manila longer!

@@SusieinthePhilippines if you are going to bicol, from next town from lucena is pagbilao then atimonan which I recommend you go thru the old zig zag road between pagbilao and atimonan to see the beautiful view. From atimonan next is plaridel, gumaca, Lopez, calauag then bicol region.

Aww thank you so much I'm so happy our Vlogs can brighten up your days!! We will be working on figuring our a more frequent uploading schedule this year. Hope you are doing great now ❤️

Thank you 😊

It would be!! We want to move only for a few months first. Can't decide for our whole life without trying it first plus each region of the Philippines is so interesting on its own. Wanna see more before we settle down. 😊

Yes I agree, if we find s place we really like we will try to stay there even longer maybe a month to really be able to see before making a final decision 😊

We are hoping to visit Siargao this year! Although it's a bit far to move wanting to being our scooter and Pixel as flights are not an option this way. But I'm sure we'd love it there!
