Thank you for choosing the country Philippines, you are very generous to share to people where you live. Most Filipinos love to go abroad, but you, you are proud of the place where you are staying. Thank you... You might boost the tourism in this country anyway.
@esmeraldabulilan643 Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate the beauty and culture of the Philippines, and I’m happy to share my experiences :)
I'm an american from florida who live there in smdc light for 8 months and could not agree more great location great budget price great amenities, and right down road from mega mall & very close to B.G.C👊🫡
I stayed there with my kids. My sister's own 2 units. There's a shopping mall and movie theater at the lower area of the tower. We enjoyed the fresh breads and cakes at the bakery.
So SM Light Residence (LR) is a mass market condo development as are most of SM properties such as Jazz and others. The units usually run 18-23sqm to 41sqm for a 2BR. Not considered luxury condo such as some Ayala developments in BGC/Rockwell/Makati. But nevertheless good for her and wonderful she is adapting to Manila.
@inqlusion9283 You bring up some good comparisons, but I still think SM Light Residence has its own charm and offers a level of luxury that many appreciate. The amenities, such as the pools, fitness center, and concierge service, enhance the living experience. It may not be as high-end as some Ayala developments, but it provides a comfortable and stylish environment that feels luxurious for many people. Everyone has different definitions of luxury, and this place certainly has its perks!
@@LoveLiveDiscover Don't get me wrong. You're 100% welcome here, but if I ever migrate to a Western country and bring my skills and education to a country with declining birth rates, I wouldn't get a 'thank you'. I would get racial slurs and several "go back to where you came from".
@@user-qu8ef8cb5c That's not respect. That's called being submissive. They wouldn't 'thank you' if you ever tried to migrate to their country. You will get accusations of stealing their jobs. So we're supposed to feel thankful to them if we migrate there, and grateful again if they migrate here? That's litetally colonial mentality, as if they're doing us a favor in literally any interaction.
When I lived in the South East region of the U.S., I learned that cockroaches can come from the drainage system and enter your home through the sink. If I had a choice, I would prefer to have a dryer instead of a washing machine. I wouldn't mind hand washing my clothes. Hanging wet clothes in an enclosed tiny living space adds to the humidity. Thank you for sharing your experience.
@BB_usmc Roaches can definitely find their way in through unexpected places. I totally understand your preference for a dryer; it can make a big difference in a small living space, especially when it comes to humidity. But I would prefer both, not ready to handwash my clothing 😅 Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
@Omartboy68 Mabuhay! 😊 Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying my time here in the Philippines. Sending warm greetings all the way to Burlington, Ontario, Canada!
@rosalinafarol7036 I think it's all about perspective! Just having a concierge to open the door for you feels like a luxury. While it may not be the most luxurious place in Manila, it still offers a level of comfort and convenience that feels luxurious to me.
ah yeah my first 2 yrs here in Manila, I actually lived there...I liked it, it's very convenient specially with the mall and grocery next door. good location, close to BGC and Makati, though at times, they can be very strict about visitors, guess its for your own good. You should try the MRT, it can be very convient way to get around Manila.
Awesome 😂 we decided against a condo, instead built a 3-story home on land that was given to us when we married, split in half, one side for my wife’s Mom & Dad & the other side for us. 2bd on each sides, 3 baths on each sides, kitchen on both sides etc. Loft above & Terrace on 2nd floor can hold about 30 people maximize. Terrace on front, maybe 10 maximum. Cost $65k in 2015. Todays value is X3 or more. Great investment. We keep making improvements & love our time here. 🎉
@alaskacpu That sounds like an incredible setup! Building your own home, especially with family nearby, is such a smart move. Plus, the way you’ve designed it with plenty of space and terraces sounds amazing for gatherings. What a fantastic investment, especially considering how much its value has grown! 🎉
@sdrsdr1176 That's an interesting comparison! Many places in Manila do share a similar design aesthetic with Hong Kong, especially in terms of maximizing space. It's fascinating to see how different cities influence each other's architectural styles!
@@LoveLiveDiscover in Australia the fire alarm is tested every month. It is the law for high rise residency. However from time to time there are false alarm due to cooking steam or burt cooking can trigger the alarm.
Hello! New subscriber here in California. I just stumbled on your Philippine vlog today. I watch a lot of Philippine vlogs around the country. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Philippines.👍🏼❤️
Yeah, the management should conduct a regular pest control check at least once a month to ensure a clean and comfortable experience for guests and tenants alike. I really think the city health government should take a look at this and try to address the issues and make it a requirement for owners renewing their business permit.🙂😋🇵🇭
@renatoarias9625 There have been regular checks and spraying in the building. Honestly, it’s not just this condo; I’ve noticed more cockroaches in the Philippines than anywhere else I’ve been: shopping malls, restaurants, museums, even metro!

For 2 months, I guess I can handle as I would be out most of the time but I would rather stay near the beach or mountains because the city can be suffocating. It is convenient for sure.
@colleensantos718 I totally get that! There are definitely benefits to both. For me, the ideal setup would be spending half the year in a quiet beach town and the other half in a big city. That way, you don't get tired of either, and you can enjoy the best of both worlds!
I don't think 'Light Residences' from SMDC would be considered as a luxury condo development like what you stated in the title as they're one of the cheapest in the PH and they cater more to the mass market unlike condominium developments from real estate developers like Megaworld, Ayala Land, Federal Land & DMCI, etc.!
@rm_alfaro I get what you’re saying, but paying 500 euros a month doesn’t exactly feel like a mass market price either. While it might not compare to ultra-luxury developments, for what I’m getting here, it still feels like a step up in comfort and amenities. It’s all about perspective!
@Philippinesbound42 The concept of luxury can vary significantly from one place to another. In the Philippines, what some may see as more modest living could be considered luxurious due to the amenities and lifestyle it offers. It’s all about perspective, and I'm glad to be experiencing it here!
Hello did u knw Remembering our humanitarian legacy with ‘Safe Haven: Jewish Refugees in the Philippines’ To pay tribute to the legacy of Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon, whose Open Door policy saved close to 1,300 Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust, twin events were organized by the Philippine Mission to the UN in New York and the Philippine Embassy in Israel. 10 Feb 2020 The Philippines upholds a strong humanitarian tradition of providing succor for forcibly displaced individuals in need of protection. Long before the Philippines had formal immigration policies and became a State party to the 1951 Refugee Convention, Filipinos have embodied the spirit of compassion, solidarity, and humanity. This nation was among the first to spontaneously offer asylum to successive waves of refugees fleeing persecution since the end of World War I. Paying Tribute
Don't worry because they have traffic lights all over Metro Manila, lol! It's mostly the poor areas in Metro Manila that gets flooded while the business districts and affluent areas are not really affected by any flooding!
@lightningsparksky3277 I understand your concern, but pool and area around are empty all day other than few hours on the evening. Most of the days I have all 4 pools to myself as I am swimming in the mornings :)
The location may be convenient, but the condo itself is depressing, the sofa and other furnishings look very uncomfortable, unstable and made of cheap materials.
How did u know it's cheap material, did u stay there? Show us your house also let's see and the world if ur house or accommodation is perfectly not depressing.
One thing l learned about living in the Philippines and returning, the people can be lazy and they don't like to follow rules. Why the cockroach problem regarding trash, it's really annoying 🤦
@gmemo4449 It can be challenging to deal with trash management and pests. While many people are hardworking, there can be inconsistencies in how rules are followed. Hopefully, with time, things will improve!
You said there are two pools for kids and one for adults who want to swim. But can adults sit in the kids pool and relax, that you didn't mention. Not every adult wants to swim laps? I love the Philippines but sometimes their way of thinking is decades behind LOL
@gmemo4449 Many parents enjoy sitting in the kids' pool and playing with their children. Plus, there are two adult pools-one for swimming laps and another for relaxing. So, there's definitely plenty of space for everyone to soak and unwind! 😊

@strawberryshortcakemitchell BGC is definitely a great place, though it can get pricey! It has that modern vibe and a lot of nice amenities. And it is just 5 mines drive away so we can go there when we want :)

Lol@ luxury. I just paid $500k for a 5th floor 2 bedroom unit at Mandani Bay, Mandaue, cebu city. The building is not even completed yet. Your place looks like a shoebox with poor aircon. Good luck
@cindygordon5242 My goal is to provide a complete picture of life here, including the surrounding amenities like malls. Many viewers enjoy hearing about those aspects, as they contribute to the overall experience of living in the area.
First of all, every tenant should be notified about the monthly alarm test and 2nd.....I would rather be annoyed once a month by the alarm because at least I know that it works and it'll save my life if there's an actual emergency. Once every 6 months or once a year is just unacceptable.....Pure negligence.
@xCoupDeGracex I actually disagree! I find the monthly tests quite annoying, and I think testing it every six months is sufficient. It’s important to balance safety with comfort, and less frequent testing can still ensure that the alarms are functional without being disruptive.

@user-nc9sv8iy3r I understand where you're coming from, but for me, SM Light offers a level of comfort and amenities that feels luxurious. Everyone has their own definition of luxury, and I appreciate what this place has to offer!
Yeah that's luxury Filipino style. Jesus Christ 😂
Lol@ luxury. I just paid $500k for a 5th floor 2 bedroom unit at Mandani Bay, Mandaue, cebu city. The building is not even completed yet. Your place looks like a shoebox with poor aircon. Good luck
Did she say "my luxury condo unit"?
500k for 2 bedroom in the Philippines! you know you just got rip off right? 😂
You dont need to be salty

Wow typical woman , an apartment tour turns into a mall review, a long winded story that has nothing of substance to see
@cindygordon5242 My goal is to provide a complete picture of life here, including the surrounding amenities like malls. Many viewers enjoy hearing about those aspects, as they contribute to the overall experience of living in the area.
First of all, every tenant should be notified about the monthly alarm test and 2nd.....I would rather be annoyed once a month by the alarm because at least I know that it works and it'll save my life if there's an actual emergency. Once every 6 months or once a year is just unacceptable.....Pure negligence.
@xCoupDeGracex I actually disagree! I find the monthly tests quite annoying, and I think testing it every six months is sufficient. It’s important to balance safety with comfort, and less frequent testing can still ensure that the alarms are functional without being disruptive.
