Amazing price of P999 (under $20) for everything Travel Agency facebook.com/circulotravel Resort that it was arranged from facebook.com/SolinaResortGigantes

@CavalrySecurity 5 месяцев назад

A great deal for all of that. Keep going to the places that few vloggers go to. That might be a good niche.

@tumlosemer 5 месяцев назад

Higantes islands is a combination of Boracay and Palawan, with a little money to spend. Not too crowded, it is not abused. Its the best place to enjoy and have fun.

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

Agreed!

@TravelbyDartTV 5 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree more! We almost visited this the last time we were in the Philippines to film one of our TV show episode. But I must say, it is indeed not too crowded so it is certainly a place you can enjoy.

I've seen most of your videos all the way from the beginning, including, Canada, Cambodia, and Albania, and I think this was my favorite of all time! If you get any better at this you will be ready for an Oscar Award! My wife's from Iloilo City (Mandurriao) and we've lived in Missouri for the past 24 years now. But we hope to move back there to Iloilo as soon as possible. Maybe in a year, like you. I can't wait to go to those islands!

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

And they really could use the business during the week, I was so surprised when I asked one of the Island heads, he brought out the log book and told me the averages per day, only 50-65 people per day

@lanceballes8159 5 месяцев назад

Glad you made it to Isla Gigantes Michael. Been there 4 or 5 times. My first visit was in 2015. And my last visit was June 2021. I'm still excited to be back there one day. Such a beautiful Paradise!

@josederayunan2662 5 месяцев назад

I'm glad that you made it in northern panay in Isla Higantes 🎉😅😊 it's a part of iloilo province

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

Should have been here sooner

@rosemendez931 5 месяцев назад

Another gem in Northern part of Iloilo is Concepcion Iloilo just near Sara and Isla de Gigantes. It has white beaches, balaskayo diving site, an inactive volcano, Mt. Manaphag peak, bluecrab hatchery for export, lumpatan beach but many of these are not flocked by tourist. Another one is Sicogon island in Carles it has its own air strip but a more high end resort.Another thing to visit in Isla de Gigantes by the way is the Bakwit Cave.

@MikenJulie7011961 5 месяцев назад

Soo glad that finally after more than a year of living in Iloilo City , you went to Carles , Iloilo !!! 🏝🏊‍♂️👍🤩👏 There are a lot of hidden gems in the northern part of Iloilo. Please explore Sicogon Island , it's also in the municipality of Carles.

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

Finally indeed and you are so right

@magenagrima-xd7pi 5 месяцев назад

You showed it here. Many will visit that Island.

@wintersojourn9356 5 месяцев назад

From your mouth to God’s ear, as the saying goes. Seems like they would gladly welcome more visitors./Maybe Michael noticed but didn’t mention: grilled okra between the shrimp & the lumpia. So a veggie in there./ Liam had a steady camera hand & stayed focused on the “talent”. Maybe family helped him? Otherwise Liam is a natural & too too adorable.

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

Liam will make an excellent vlogger some day :)

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

I hope so! When the log person told me the islands only see 50-60 people a day during the week I was a little sad they deserve more business

@alvarobenid3304 5 месяцев назад

Sorry I forgot the brand thats really good, been in Canada for almost 15 years and haven't gone back home since so I already forgot the brand of that famous flip flop , great vlog btw 😊, please show more islands so I know where to visit when im going for vacation. We also have nice beaches in Ilocos Norte, white rock formation, Boracay of the north, windmills, sand dunes, etc. Try heading north when you have time and see more beauties of the Philippines.

Almost 20K Subs, that's great! You have some interesting content. Keep persevering, theres a sea of Vloggers in the Phil, but a big culling is coming when adsense goes away. Supercheats and stickers on live content. Patreon and channel memberships. To reach the 7,000 count they count rocks sticking out of the ocean as an Island, supposedly there are 2,000 with people. A funny story, when I was inquireing about going to Apo Island off of Dumaguete they wanted like 1,000 peso for the ride which included the junk fees that Apo Island hits you with, but a local told me that they pay 20 peso to get the ride to or from. They live on Apo Island.

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

I just googled what you said, there is nothing on the internet about Adsense being dropped, last year they made it easier for people to start earning but that's all the news I can find. Something like that would be burning up places like Reddit? Can you share where you heard that from?

@J-Tyson558 5 месяцев назад

With 7,641 islands (and probably counting) it's safe to say there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of beautiful beaches and islands just like this but haven't been exposed to the outside world. Don't limit yourself to Panay Island. Keep exploring!

@fortuneybiernas5778 5 месяцев назад

Barangay is the smallest local government unit. But within barangays, they usually split them into 'purok'. So they said they are in Purok Uno, meaning there could be Purok Dos, Purok Tres, Purok Cuatro etc...

@ThatPhilippinesLife 5 месяцев назад

That's so interesting, now it makes sense what they were telling me

@fortuneybiernas5778 5 месяцев назад

So barangay, towns or cities, provinces, regions

@fortuneybiernas5778 5 месяцев назад

Now cities are classified as to Highly Urbanized Cities HUC or regular cities. Towns have classes depending on income probably from 1st to 5th. Some HUCs are independent cities meaning the province has no control on that city. For example, Iloilo and Cebu are independents. Residents of these cities don't vote for Provincial positions. They are capital cities so the Provincial Capitol is located there but governor has no power. The chief in the city is the Mayor and usually it has a congressman representing them in the House of Representatives. Passi is not independent, its called a component city.

@fortuneybiernas5778 5 месяцев назад

Some component cities depending on population and income can have a congressman on solo basis. For example, the 1st LGU of Cavite once you get out of Metro Manila is Bacoor. Since component, it votes for Provincial positions and it also has a congressman. Whereas Cavite City, also a component but does not have its own congressman on solo basis. They are part of 1st district and share a congressman with other towns like Kawit, Rosario and Noveleta.
