- When we decided to set up a second home in the Philippines, we had plenty of awesome options for where to land. In this episode, we pull together our latest thoughts and some past episodes to adequately illustrate why we ultimately chose the Metro Manila area of Bonifacio Global City (BGC).

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.
I love that Brooklyn and Colt when placing an order say- “please, may I, thank you…” You two are great parents 😊♥️
When my family move to Minnesota from Boston in 1975, my brother's and I were like that. My father's coworkers, when we went over for dinner, would look at us like we had two heads when we acted like that.
@@dzikijohnny Manners and being grateful doesn’t cost anything. Hopefully, Filipino kids will learn from them :)
Thank you for appreciating that about them. It makes me so proud as a parent to be able and stand back and watch. I have to agree, the have wonderful manners 🫶🫶🫶
I can’t wait to go back to the Philippines. Some of the nicest people in the world!
I booked 3 months in BGC starting in October. Can’t wait to explore it! Thanks for all the great vids highlighting the area! 🙏
🤗 awesome. Hope to see you around!
Welcome soon 🔜
How much did you booked?
oh great starting of colding season...
@@livethephilippinesthere's also another family of 4 called Living La Vida Tagalog and 8 think they also came. from California. not sure though if they're staying in BGC as well but I'm sure they are.
The one thing I liked in your vlogs is that you are always ready to share the history of the places you've been to. Keep it up and hope to meet you someday. My son likes Colt so much. We're from Puerto Princesa Palawan.
We like BGC as well. Can’t wait to be back to explore more of the Philippines 🇵🇭
We Filipinos really appreciate you loving our country.
Nobody, no place, and nothing is perfect. You chose to magnify the good and beautiful things. Thank you.
Philippines ..is by far the Best Alternative to Raise your Family.
No Mass Killings!
No Karens!
Very Safe Night Streets!
Very Friendly Neighbourhood!
Accessability!
Affordabilty!
All Signs and official Transactions done 99% in English!
..and of course,Endless Tropical Vacay Island options!!
I’m raising my daughter in BGC currently, but there are drawbacks. Want decent education and don’t want to homeschool? You’re going to pay over $10,000 a year. Limited opportunities to play sports. Surprisingly, hardly any playgrounds. As they get older, are they learning to drive in this traffic? Lots to consider that I feel like so many people don’t think about.
Thank you for making the Philippines your second home!❤❤❤❤
Wow! 10 Reasons This Philippines City Won Us Over. THANK YOU ABC. God bless your beautiful family. Stay safe and stay in love with The Philippines! Mabuhay!
Bonifacio Global City is my favorite place and my home. It is green, vibrant, clean and safe. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. God bless you guys ❤
In Philippines you feel America in Asia, people are friendly and more relax. Been to many country Philippines are unique welcoming
And so diverse across the country. We love the people we meet here.

Please don't stop exploring the Philippines! GREAT VIDEOS AND INFORMATIONS ❤️❤️
Great that you dug into the history of BGC...educational even for locals. 👍Also I like that you made a run down of those things you like that made you decide to make BGC your 2nd homebase. Its a good recap or flashback esp for those who are new or a passerby to the channel. Watching your stories make viewers like me enjoy as though we are tag alongs. Your energy is so contagious that's why I never tire watching you! I'm figuratively infected! 🤭👍 🥰
I was just in BGC for about 3 weeks. Welcome and I really hope you enjoy the Philippines even more
Thank you! 😃
Love this content! Kudos!!!
Erin. Your pronunciation of BONIFACIO is becoming Filipino! Didn’t even hear an accent. So cool. Becoming local 😍
You and momduty are like family versions of couples The Juicy Vlog and Making it happen vloggers who found new friensdship in the Philippines thru vlogging.
We ❤️ our friends!
From the first blog you did in the Philippines I knew you will like it and will keep coming back because there’s so much to explore. I love the places you’ve been to, featured with excellence. Love your blogs.

Love your content! ❤️
Wow, this is a very nice look back of your exciting journey so far finding your second home in the Philippines! I am glad that I watched the full videos of those memories. I also just watched your recent UAE adventures as I am an OFW here, working with SGS in Dubai. Can't wait to watch the next chapters of your collab with your BFF MomDuty. Keep those exciting vlogs coming, be safe and enjoy vlogging!
Thank you! 😃 We hope you're doing okay with all the rain and flooding!
@@livethephilippines Thank you very much for your concern! Yes, I am ok and safe. Thank God...but due to the severe flooding, our company told us to work from home since Tuesday...as of this writing, the floods in our area has not subsided yet. I pray for the UAE to rebound well from this deluge so we can get back to normal again.
Happy for your family. ❤. So cute to see Brooklyn again.

BGC is the USA Bubble of the Philippines.. Enjoy ❤
I like how you do a bit of research on the country and places. Much appreciated
And yes, it can get really hot and humid. Thank God for airconditioning. Just stay indoors.
I'm pretty sure you had a thousand reasons why you love the Philippines, in general. And more to come while staying here. ❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤ we love you all!
The whole of Metro Manila is very vibrant. Still, she has a lot of chaos, rustic corners, and on-going developments… Give it a few more years, a decade or two, and hopefully, everything will get better. 😊😉
With the never ending traffic. I dunno
@@axizcorp That’s part of the chaos. 😅
Do MORE!!!
i love this family. hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in my country. we have three major major island here. the luzon,visayas and mindanao and hope you get a chance to explore them all.
I can live with those reasons. But I'm a 100% on board with your #1 reason. The people are amazing cause they make you feel at home.
Thank you very much for visiting Philippines
Our pleasure!
❤❤❤ your family!!
Hope you visit baguio city, summer capital of the north
Thank you for loving our country. Enjoy, explore, feel the hospitality, be friendly but still ve cautious. At time there would some who might took advantage of you in some ways. Nevertheless, you are all welcome here in our country... You're also a big help with our economy with the shopping galore and travel adventures. I envy yours haha. Me living here and never been to those high end places hehe
What is your family's favorite restaurant in BGC?
So hard to choose. We love Los Flores, Dr Wine has great atmosphere, and we love Keizo.
I dont skip ads coz very interesting contents thank you live the phils
And La Picara 👍🏼
love those too
Welcome to the Philippines... just now watching your vlog... im interested what u are sharing your life living... God blessed to your family....😊❤
Just so you know when the "Philippines" is used with an adjective form, like "Philippine" before another noun, the "s" is dropped.
For example, Philippine cuisine, Philippine city.
Also, Philippines comes with a The before it like The Netherlands. Thus, the Philippines.
Love the video.
We greatly appreciate your decision for choosing PH.
I've been finding time to watch your videos these days since I came across to one. As a Filipino I'm happy that you're loving our country as much as we do. It might get a little too hot here but it will pass. 😅 New subscriber here. 🫰🏻☺️
Welcome to our channel! So happy you found us 😊
Got emotional again, It’s the people and I agree, every time I travel Ang touchdown in airport if you compare how Filipino greet you compare to other countries you will the difference coz you can see them smiling. I’m a Filipino but I’m not trying to impress you guys but you can immediately observe how the Filipino greeted “mabuhay” welcome to the Philippines with a smile.
I saw you guys eat and im hungry now😂 i wanna try that hotdog with cheese
They have that hotdog with potatoes deep fried here in ‘H Mart’ in Cary, NC. Good stuff. My first Shake Shack burger n fries was in Washington DC. Best burger meal ever. I love your videos and great vibes. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a safe and enjoyable day in BGC. Philippines is one of the place I love and dream to visit. ❤❤❤
This is the best
So happy you like it 🤗
That octopus jerky looks more like an artwork; missed going to BGC but were in nearby Makati on our last trip two months ago. But we were there in 2018, wonder how much has it changed so we need to go back.
Stayed in BGC for a few nights few weeks ago, location is spot on near to everything! Hoping to stay longer someday in the philippines. We were on 3 weeks and half holiday and it was a blast, now my partner now wants to go back again sooner and hoping to stay longer! We stayed in BGC for the first few nights and last nights and in between we went to Elnido, boracay and bicol XD
visit Ticao island in Masbate.. explroe Masbate and Catanduanes
Watching this vlog again!! Which is your best spot for Currency Exchange in BGC, btw?
nice❤
This is such a great rundown. What I felt when I was in BGC was that the place felt...alive (unlike here in Los Angeles, of all places). People were doing activities all over the place. The malls were filled with people -- malls here in the US are boring and dead compared to the Philippines. BGC is great. Real estate prices are just going to shoot up.
please take a SCUBA diving classed and start diving the Philippines! The most beautiful places in the Philippines is underwater! Start at ANilao, Batangas then check out Puerto Gallera, Verde Islands. Then, go to Moalboal, Cebu and in Bohol area. Then go to Balicasag, malapascua, Coron, and the best-- Tubbataha reef. You can do liveaboard diving, too. Check out Vigan, Bataan islands, Subic Bay, Batanes; Go to El nido, Pangalusian islands. And one of the best luxury resort, Amanpulo Resort. Also, There are many beaches up north in Alaminos, Pangasinan. Check out the most perfect volcano---Mayon! Also, check out the Rice terraces of Sagada (it is like being in Bali) and Baguio. Check out the other islands of SAmar, leyte, tacloban, dumaguete. Happy Travels!
❤❤❤
I hope you try to go in bicol region theres a lot of beach there and the famous mayon volcano and pink beach in sorsogon❤
New Clark City is the next BGC.. but 10x the size, more advanced , closer to the north and more nearby nature. Give it more 5 more years.
I grew up there when it was a military camp. We used to hunt spiders when we were kids. Until now, our ancestral house is still there, opposite of Market! Market! along C5 road. BGC or formerly known as Fort Andres Bonifacio means a lot to us, as we experience growing up there and witnessed initially how it progress until we moved to Austin, Texas. Thanks for this video! btw my fave restaurant is Kamay kainan. It's a Filipino buffet style in Market, Market
Love it ❤ I miss BGC
There’s a hidden gem in makati called Little Tokyo , amazing authentic Japanese food ,I’m sure your family would love to explore. Hope I’ll get to watch your family visit this hidden gem in the near future.
Oh, that's very interesting! We've been loving the Mitsukoshi setup in Uptown, but Little Tokyo sounds like a similar experience that we definitely need to check out!
WATCH OUT FOR NEW MANILA AIRPORT ONCE IT DONE IT STILL STRUCTURE GOING ON THE BIGGEST AIR PORT LIKE OUR SAID PHILIPPINES IS REALLY DEVELOP
Can't wait to see how the new construction pans out in a few years. Very exciting!
and that's not even all of it, the new rising futuristic city that will be built along the Manila Bay will make it even more interesting to invest in the country! It's definitely going to surpass BGC and other cities all over the world! The land reclamation is already on going and the city is set to be open in 2035! If yall go to Mall of Asia or just happen to pass by Manila bay, you'll see the quick progress of the project already! So much land has already been put there! so exciting for the Philippines!
Safest city & couldn’t believe that city exist in the PHL. Stayed there 2wks & was very modern, lots to do
Back when I was younger (specifically 10 years ago when I was in college) the heat here in Philippines specifically in Manila is not that really hot. Sadly it’s different now.
Where did you get your pearl bracelet from?
Palawan firefly river is by far the best experience I've had and I've been all over the philippines. i don't know if you'll be able to capture it on camera though.
BGC is a ultra modern city bubbles where famous movie stars, politicians, celebrities, expats, rich millennials maintain a condo there. You're really a big timer if you live there.
Manila is beautiful city! I
❤❤
please consider Mindanao in your travel itinerary ABC family ❤
We will!
Please visit Batanes with MomDuty!
Nice both of you interested the History Philippines.
The reason mostly Filipinos speak Englisch, because had over 100 years of Amerika independent ..
