- Welcome to "That Philippines Life" - If I Can Find A Spot, I'll Move Here! Beachfront in The Philippines. I came back to Roxas City Capiz to see if this place can check all my boxes as the perfect place to live in the Philippines. Not only do I check right on the beach but also close by in the next Mega Project Pueblo De Panay Township within Roxas City, I look at lots and condos and even investment properties for Air Bnb. How much is cost of living here? what does rent cost on average, what does properties and condos cost?

What a sudden changed of outlook,
from Iloilo to Capiz. We saw how you and Bianca have inspired many expats for choosing Iloilo City to be their new home or for just making the city part of their travel bucket list and we Ilonggos are glad and so thankful for it. We know your current situation and we understand. Take your time to relax... soon things will be better.
Stay strong and safe Michael. Hugs!♥
I did this boat trip back in 2019…have several good pics/memories. I fell asleep while getting massaged and remember seeing the two different currents from the ocean hitting the brackish water plus those make shift bamboo pulleys…good times. Hope you are moving on well!
I love to own a beach house, saving money for a small one in Pinas. Sleeping with the sounds of the wave and waking up seeing the waves. Freediving all day and eating non GMOs products. Take Care Man!❤
I am from Cebu and my family is planning to move to Roxas City too in two years time. We really love the place as we see it in every video.
Hey Mike... I'm so happy you are in Roxas Capiz. We only get home every 2 years, so we only get updates on new venues like this, until we get home. Unfortunately family don't always give us too many details. LOL But, it's really great getting another perspective. We're hoping to go home to Ma-ayon Capiz later this year, so now we know a few new things happening in Roxas. Oh, I should tell you we have a fish pond near the Ferry Port. Anyway, have fun & hope to meet you some day.
We are sad you are leaving Iloilo City. But happy in a way you found friends to rely on…Don’t forget,when ever you are in Iloilo City, you can always stay with us. Pls note,we’re here in Iloilo November to May. We are your Canadian snow birds friends…
Why Capiz the beach is not good there because the sand is black. Although the people there is very friendly and kind but you can find a resort with white sand in other places to enjoy your stay there
This is the place Michael you are looking for. It is beautiful. Find ways you can own one.
This looks like a really interesting place! I’ll be going on another scouting trip to the Philippines soon because I have been looking for exactly what you have been describing with beach near amenities and have not had much luck so far. Places seem to be Tourist places that die off and are focused on island, hopping or scuba-diving. This place looks really cool, I’ll definitely put that on my itinerary! Thank you for the great video.
If you’re in BGC, you can always go to batangas for the beaches there, leave Manila very early in the morning and in 2-3 hours you’re in Batangas.
The fish swimming near that CR have the most unique taste of all, I'll bet !!
Hahahaha 🤣
Another great video. Great info on areas to buy or rent done in a charming style. No other blogger does what you do even half as well as you. Keep it up you will be v successful there.
Mike ive figured out why.im.enjoying your vlogs so much. You are Real and sensitive. Fantastic!!!!😊
its a good choice if u choose to live here mike..its a very peaceful place to stay and very accessible to everything and places nearby.😊 hello Airam the tour guide.🙂
Always nice to be near the beach. Where I am in Bacong I am only 5 mins away from the ocean and so many beach areas going south from Dumaguete with lots of great places to live
Hi, Michael and family. We just discovered your vlog and must say you've given us a different perspective of the opportunities of my mom's place- Roxas City. My cousin has happy memories of that beach, and I grew up hearing stories of my mom's town... occasionally visited it as well. Thank you for showing the place positively, respecting the people and the culture. I grew up in Manila but I want a less hectic life and moved to Cebu. Now I'm planning to move to Iloilo with a small town feel but because of work would still need to be near a city. (I understand you left Iloilo to be in Roxas). We'll surely drop by your bar once we get to visit Roxas again. Best of luck to you.
Missed my hometown, never expected that it’ll be much different the last time i left. Watching from Saskatchewan CA
Michael, if you are looking for a property to own, please take into considerations that the Philipppines is a typhoon belt in Asia,so don't settle in a small island cause it will be at risk.
Hi! Michael thanks for visited here in Dumaguete City. Keep safe and God bless 🙏😊
That condo is nice. The views were gorgeous too.
Wow! I love the place. Michael, if you choose a place near a sea be careful of your things which can be easily affected by rust. More power!
Enjoy, Do what makes you happy!
Looks awesome man! I’m really happy for you, I miss Asia so much.
We lived on Panglao for 2 years and really enjoyed it. The water and brown out issues can be frustrating. We will be back after we do things in the Province of Davao de Oro.
Very nice and informative! Thank you Mike!
Looks like its good to buy a lot accross the beach front property. Even a 200 sqm is great but best to have 3 story structure for the view and some how to avoid d carbon monoxide from the cars..it will help somehow along with very good windows to cut the noice from main road. That will be a very good home and airb&b...plus more elevated to avoid d rising global sea water. Excited for u! I love the vibe in this town Mike! This town loves u back too ❤
you might try to consider guimaras island. i think the bridge project linking it to iloilo is already approved. i hear construction starts 2025 and the bridge is done by 2030. thats gonna be like a 20-30 minute drive to iloilo city while you enjoy what the island can offer.
Yes if looking for a place like i am around 2030 it would be great
Another cool video ❤can’t wait to see the next one 👍👍👍👍
Looks like a great place to call home.
Good place to live
Goodluck in finding a new place!!And I’m sure there’s a lot out there that you can find 👍
Nice information 😊
Next time in Roxas, you can borrow our house. Roxas city is a fantastic city to live in. Hope your are gonna visiti, the Jesus statue next time too 😎👍🏻, keep up this great Channel. Tom
Your gonna love this one Time! ruclips.net/video/0fIV4LRGFl8/видео.html
Let's get in touch maybe we will be in town the same time
Really cool video, thank you for sharing this with us.
lovely place Mike - I'D LIVE THERE.
The place look really nice. We always thought of moving to BGC, but this is something to look into.
maganda naman
Roxas City is my hometown and would never replace it to any place in the world. It maybe small but I am proud with the peace-loving, hospitable and God-loving people.
For those who are wondering, Roxas City is the capital of Capiz Province and is known to be one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the country. It’s also known for its abundant marine life, receiving the label as the “Seafood Capital of the Philippines”. Furthermore, this bustling and thriving city are among the safest places you can visit in the country.
I did love this but I don't see a question or I would have replied and not just loved
Invest now in Roxas City ❤❤❤
yeah take care your health
Enjoyed that tour 👍
Roxas is already charming on its own coz it has the laid back city life. Coz you get the necessary things in a city but cheaper and less traffic. But do you think huge BGC inspired township projects done in small cities will be good for the city? They’ve done that in provinces neighboring metro manila and end up being left there with not much happening. It’s suitable for highly urbanized cities i guess? Transportation and population play a vital role in its success. In my opinion, coz theyre still a component city, it’s easier to improve the “existing” city first where there are already people. You know what i mean? It’s better that way than building a model city like those planned cities also done across other countries as well that didnt really become successful. Just something i think randomly about townships in the PH 😊
All depends how it's designed. If you pause the video on the design you can see they included a lot of green spaces, ponds and public spaces. Hard to stop growth all you can do is hope its done right
Hi Mike! I' joined your army the other day. I'm coming to the Phillipines in 2 weeks! I cannot wait to be there, I hope to meet you, maybe hang out? I'm going to be staying with my brother, until I get my own place, will see how that goes! Anyways, have a great day!
Definitely get in touch!
15:05 Mike's house..!😂
Lol, I was wondering if anyone else spotted that 😂
Awesome 👏
Batangas, Bohol, Siargao, and Zambales are pretty popular for residential beach living.
Carlyle is also a nice place to visit.white sand beach and cozy.
i recommend antique for beach living👌
Interesting that I stumbled on this older video, knowing where and how you settled in there and your current plans for a small test farm, etc.
Funny... I feel like I've come to know you though we've never met.
Is this before you met Katherine?
Pamanga has beaches and the the modern like blend... but where you are now, that development is VERY interesting...
You can also try Puerto Princesa they are building a BGC there and you're near to the beach and airport. Triboa bay near city is subic and near airport is Clark. Nasugbu or Calatagan near Tagaytay and Manila.
Nice job Michael! I look forward to hearing the rental prices along the beach in Capriz.
You know Michael, that's mostly we filipinos are friendly and approachable person. Enjoy!
Great content Mike, your Video's are getting really good
Oh how nice is your place. ❤
Roxas City would definitely be my number one choice.
I'm always curious where does the dirt from that toilet goes 😮.I hope not straight to the water 😮😮
Wish they had some place like that and a Cancun like development but little farther away from that.
OMG..!!! THAT FLOOTING COTTAGE IS TOTALLY AMAZING.!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE AND ATE FRESH FISH AND FRESH VEGIES WITH FRESH AIR ENVIRONMENT VERY MELLOW RELAXING ISLAND. HOW I WISH I COULD RETIRE IN THE FUTURE SOON WITH THE SAME ENVIRONMENT PROVINCE FOR GOOD RETIREMENT.
Great video as always .I’ve been to the Philippines many times as my wife is Phillipino (Met her in Montana) She’s from Iloilo .So we stay in the Richmond Hotel when we are there .That’s why I’m kinda interested as to whether you move to roxas or somewhere else outside Iloilo .We are considering buying a condo in Iloilo or property and building.I’ll be there this July for a couple weeks looking at different properties.Maybe I’ll see you there
See you when you come!
Iloilo, it's where the action is.
Plant your seeds in a fertile land it will blossom abundantly. ☺
My sister's friend a retired military man from U. S. Came here in the Philippines. First in Mindanao but failed. Many attempts to find partner and at last found the one. He loves fishing and I told him choose a place that is far from metro Manila. I recommended him the Quezon province. An inland town but near or overlooking the sea area. Now he is in Pagbilao, Quezon. Near Lucena City with bay area and Port with access to Romblon island, marinduque island and masbate island and mindoro island. He loves fishing during weekend in bay area of Lucena or Pagbilao and nearby seaside towns.
@ThatPhilippinesLife Hi Michael, I think i saw a house for sale by the beach in between the way of SanAntonio resort to Culasi port. If I see it, I will send you the link. Happy to know that you liked our area :) if I recall there are apartments near the beach as well in roxas blvd area.
I'm looking forward to some actual on the Beach front rental.
In CAnada you have Muskoka ,Hunstville etc.❤
Im in roxas city now. And funny think i saw is a huge bottle of tanjuay. Rhum on top of a building. It looks so weird. 🥺
Haha yes it's in such a strange place but I guess it works since we both noticed it
Hey Mike, have you been to California? Is there a place in the Philippines that looks like the California coastline? Just curious cause I think the Cali Coast has the most scenic view in the world. Subic is a great option if you want a mix of beach and city life.
I have been yes, I learned to surf in Oceanside many years ago. Since this is a tropical place it won't be exact but comparable is Boracay, Palawan locations. Consistent in the world rankings, Subic unfortunately the beach was very dirty and not even always their fault cleared by morning and the ocean brings in lots more
new jersey has nicer beaches and much cleaner 😂😂😂
@@truthseeker-y1o been there, homeless in the beach and car window was smashed and items stolen within only 15 minutes of arriving
@@ThatPhilippinesLifeYou are referring to California?
those condo prices are pretty insanely high for what you get. US prices for sure. Not far from what it costs for similar condo's here in Austin TX.
Cool vid! new sub... This is very useful because I get tired of seeing the same 7-8 suggestions for places to live. If I get over there in a couple of years, I want to live within a 3-4 minute walk to a beautiful sandy swimming beach, but also with some urban amenities and services, and not all ate up with expats. A few, but not drowning in them... And I'll be able to comfortably budget 3k a month (U.S.) while still keeping 300 k in savings.
That 50,000 condo looks good 👍
Romblon looks nice. Maybe Looc or San Fernando.
I enjoyed Looc also just missing the city aspect there for my check list
That doctors got a great place to hang out the place is a diamond in the ruff
You may want to go Guimaras Island, well known for a very delicious mango 🥭
Been to the mango festival and the dragon fruit festival and several resorts on the island it's just my past RUclips channel. This channel is only since December 1. Will be there again soon
My filipina gf said Roxas gets hit by a lot of typhoons and it floods often there.
Compared to what area? It was a big conversation I've had and seems the same as other area around
Man i hope the sound of the tow boat was not as loud as it seemed during the video.
That 2 bedroom place looks great but not that cheap, I bought a 29 meter place in Iloilo megaworld for 3.2mln, it’s half the size and half the price. Roxas is much greener tho and it does look amazing
This is amazing can you tell me the building? I have someone now who would really love that. Everywhere it's more than double for the smallest offered by Megaworld currently. Even pre build are so expensive in festive walk.
@@ThatPhilippinesLife apologies, it’s not BY megaworld, it’s STYLES by SMDC, between SM mall and festive walk megaworld, but it’s perfect cos it’s gated in that busy area, and if ever I would jump out of my window I would land in that Korean town area just to show proximity.
Will you go back in Iloilo for Dinagyang?
Do you know any decent lawyers that could help with checking title work and possibly converting agriculture land to residential to build on some hectares, we are looking for land surrounding iloilo city up to 1.5 hours ...?
I follow your channel Hope to see you ....ill be in Roxas City staying near Baybay beach end of Jan 2024
Invited back for something Feb 4th for a few days
Are you stating prices in US dollars? You had said 7,000 about one of the places.
Did I fall asleep and miss the rentals you were going to be looking for or were they skipped?
I mentioned I will actually go start asking when I'm ready to lay down a deposit, more to come in part 2 tomorrow as well
Cool. Looking forward to the rental tours
👍👍👍
0:58 Yes.. If you go back to Dumaguete, you certainly should look at Dauin.
2:00 There are certain places that say that: Most say, Long Beach in San Vincente, Palawan.. in Cebu they say Lapyahan sa San Remigio, and so on.. Of course how do you define that.. In terms of beauty, Long Beach in Palawan have of course the whitest sand.. in terms of being able to built for a sane price at the waterfront, there might be another place.. the longest beach directly on a big city? maybe Roxas wins that.. but if the big building companies have bite their teeth into Roxas with a megaproject, then the prices will rise there also.. Right now, everywhere there are new developments, and the Philippines have one of the biggest growths in terms of economy in SE Asia.. So now is the right time to still find a good place somewhere for a good price..
P7200/mo for condo fees for Roxas City? That's way too much for that part of the Philippines.
As for the second condo, no amenities at all?
That's really more of a hotel type condo, meant to rent out and have a place to start when in town. The capital building is being built right behind it now. One day soon these will be booked all the time
There is a secret beach ib capiz its in culasi jamiz resört is nice
Thank you
4:33 you’re righ, “retauranteur” is not a title - it’s not even a word! Hehe
If you care, look up “retaurateur” (rest-Oh-ra-tour)🤔
Just messin -don’t really care.
Lovely place! I’ll go check it out myself, for sure.
Where are at ?
One thing I've always wondered... can you brush your teeth with the tap water? I know for the most part you can't drink tap water, but what about brushing your teeth? Or washing your dishes in it? Or cooking with tap water, like if you make pasta or something? And what about ice in your beverages? Do you have to ask if it was made from tap water? I was once in Tijuana Mex. and I was warned not to drink the tap water, which I didn't, but I DID brush my teeth with it, and ended up getting a nasty C. Difficile infection from inadvertently swallowing a couple drops of water.
It depends where you are in Boracay I tested the water and it was better than EPA standards in America, great drinking water, in Cebu the.lead content was too high...basically I use water service for brushing teeth. If in doubt I take the safe way
We live in Iloilo City 6 months each year… we fly to the tropics every fall, and go back to Canada in the spring. Yes, we brush our teeth with tap water, and rinse with mineral water. So far, we are ok…
You can walk the beach area of Roxas. It’s a good wLk but once you hit where the road splits it’s all residential and not very nice.
Is this towards the ruins or the other way?
@@ThatPhilippinesLife the road that heads into the city. We spent several weekends up there scouting out places to live. We rode our motorcycle up there and if you keep riding down the beach road past that intersection the concrete finally ends I really also like Roxas over Iloilo. It has everything a big city has but has a small town vibe.
There also isn’t much the other way past the port. We rode quite a few kilometers past the port and didn’t find anything worth seeing or doing
What currency are you referring to?
Pesos, divide by 55 approx for USA prices
@@ThatPhilippinesLife thank you, I figured it out toward the end. I should have waited to comment. Lol. Thanks
Why don’t you go to Batangas, it’s nice there, they have beaches there too in Lahia
Be around there soon
Check out Bukidnon in Mindanao.
Try to check out the town of San Fernando City , San Juan LA UNION… in region 2 up north…
I'll be up in that area Ina month or two
*3 day black out in panay island*
that megacity plan in roxas maybe a pipe dream
3 days one time last year and 3 days one time this year too, good thing is heads are rolling over this right now
@@ThatPhilippinesLife
yes, panay island doesn't have good source of energy (electricity)
cebu & bohol are tapping the toledo source, as well as, the leyte geothermal
luzon is tapping the malampaya natural gas in palawan
i heard, panay island will be tapping the largest hydroelectric company from mindanao and that it would cost billions of dollars to build the pipe
You can tell a Filipino joke when you introduce yourself. Tell the Filipino you’re meeting that your name is Michael, not “Michael Angot”, just Michael. The joke is the Filipino word “kulangot” (pronounced ku-la-ŋot) meaning booger. When someone says “may kulangot”, it means there’s a booger.
Wait.... is this a common joke?
@@ThatPhilippinesLifeIt’s a common Filipino dad joke.
First time i heard 😊 maybe in part vizmin its a common joke ❤ haha
Also, topics that are offensive to Filipinos are something that disrespects the family or community. In western culture like the US, offensive topics are something that involves activities that should be private, hence the F word, S word, etc.
Of course as a reminder, you shouldn’t tell the joke in a formal meeting. If you do tell the joke, they may start thinking that you’re more fluent in Filipino, so you can tell them that’s the only Filipino joke that you know.
@@adianbeat6701Well, the word kulangot is in Tagalog. I sort of westernized the joke. It’s from a knock knock joke. “Knock, knock. Who’s there? Michael. Michael who? Michael Angot.”
Looks spacious at the apartment but weird bedrooms how you go around that bed to make it, think personaly $150 k u.s. thats kinda expensive and the kitchen is nothing great 39:55
With plans to make Roxas another BGC..no different than big overpriced cities worldwide..Roxas will overdevelop and no longer be what you love. I guess this indicates you would live in BGC if there was a beach.
What city is this?
Roxas??
❤❤❤
Excellent video 😎👍 Your doctor friend seems super cool, I imagine he would be an excellent landlord.
Thank you for the detailed condo tours. Another advantage of the $50,000 condo is that you could use that as an anchor for the SRRV Visa since it is over $50,000, instead of putting $20,000 USD cash into an account.
Also I love the community fishing effort, it sounds like not only good exercise but you get some nice healthy fresh fish as well! And make new friends to boot.
Low cost of living in the Philippines health care is good too when you look on a hospital that could offer more high tech medical equipment and health care facilities
Welcoming people are everywhere living in the province is too good to be true it's peaceful apart from being away from noisy stressful lifestyle in the cities..life in the province is of slow phase kind of life yet more convenience safe and comfortable.
Enjoy your stay . Visit places in northern luzon believe me it' can offer more amazing stuff too ..
Looking forward to bring there soon
Looking forward sir Michael a traveller vlogger. .
I always thought it's ironic that many Philippine communities have electricity brown outs, yet they soak up massive megawatts by building completely unnecessary amusement displays.
Great content but somewhat grainy from time to time.
Camera is way better with bright light, downfall of go pro is dim lighting
