Valentine's Day. A huge who cares holiday. Super video. Really warm get together with the expats. I want to know more of their stories. A really great day.
The esplanade was my favorite thing about Iloilo great place to walk or just sit and enjoy the scenery. Valentines evening looked great. Looks like everyone has a great time and so much food. Nice little pub to hang out at
I’ve been following your videos for years- living vicariously through all your adventures- thank you! All the best with your new channel. I have family in Philippines and hope to visit someday soon.
Cool video 😎👍 The esplanade is really a big selling point for the city I think. I can imagine getting up bright and early and exercising before it gets too hot. Someday...
Enjoy re-finding yourself.... Sure love will find you when you least expect it. And your in the right place. Filinpa's are the best Laddies.. true Laddies... Wishing this time next year... or the year after you have a true Valentines. Massive hi five for now bud. Hope our paths cross one day... would love to hang out and explore the Philippines 🇵🇭 with you.
As solo expat, christmas day i went to Apo Island, Valentines day Whale sharks etc, when solo book experiences...... what you spend / treat someone else ..... spend / treat on yourself when single
Hi Michael real good video. I likes the pub I hope I can find something like that in Roxas City. Yea it sucks being alone for Valentine’s Day. Lost my wife to cancer 6 years ago been alone ever since. Valentine’s Day was a big thing for us. Thanks for the great content always enjoy watching.
Brother not solo - apart - together- My wife and my family I have not shared together in four years - not by choice. I will absolutely look you up when I am able to return to the Philippines and my beautiful family.
Boys club right there ! Saw it with my own eyes. Omg Do you gossip ? I'd love to be a fly on the wall and hear the tales those walls hear lol. All good fun I'm sure xxx
@@ThatPhilippinesLife *Sorry my bad. I just saw your video about it after I left the comment. Sorry to hear that. I hope it’s for the best. Keep grinding to your goal!*
Hi Mike nice to see another video as always. Those price for breakfast and buffet were awesome especially tne size of the American breakfast that comes out to $8.04 USD for 450 PH Peso amd $8.92 USD fkr the buffet at 499 PH Peso. You can't get a buffet any place I've been to where it's all you can eat for under $15.00 USD. CONGRATS to your friend on his retirement. 🎉🎉🎉 Sorry you were solo on V-day. I know the feeling. Every V-day I've been solo except for 1 and i would have been better off alone on that one too because he was just a player. That British Pub where all the expats flock to looks pretty darn cool. I notice it looked like a "boys club" Are there any female expats in the area that maybe with a Filipino husband or boyfriend... or does that usually not happen?' Can't wait to see your next episode. 😊❤. The young lady that "kidnapped" you I think her name is "Kat" if I heard correctly. She gives of a really nice calm laid back energy. I know it will be March in a couple weeks, have you found a new place to stay when your lease is up?
@@ThatPhilippinesLife very good, I hope your trip goes well, filled with more amazing people that you always seem to find. I hope you're able to to find a good place budget friendly that's close enough to all the friends you have that are in Iloilo that have pretty much adopted you into their family (the family that brought you "Glamping" on Gamaris among other things) then you have Frank & Fel and all your expat buddies at the pub. But you really showed some nice places in your travels the last few videos.
Crazy part is I'm wondering if I should congratulate you for finding such a cheap place to eat in Toronto (haha just kidding, Canada is way out of wack on food prices)
Tell your friend there are 2 young guys from Minnesota (vloggers) who have been living in Manila since last year. Perhaps he can invite them to Iloilo and they can meet it will be nice for them fellow Minnesotan (?) and you too can meet them. Their youtube channel is Trifate Lifestyle and recently created a separate Philippine channel called Trifate PH.
FYI in case you missed them: Hello Ms. Katherine, in the OG channel, M & B featured PV in 2 or maybe 3 vlogs. They showed it in detail, very interesting & alluring videos. They are prolly still on B’s channel, but maybe they are also here. I noticed Michael has some of the old videos available here. When I remember those videos, I can still feel the relief they felt when they finally went there during a prolonged brown out! I was like, now that’s a good idea….
I very much enjoy & appreciate how much Michael embraces the Philippines…It is partly a vicarious thing, as I would like to embrace the Philippine people & its culture….But should he eventually relocate, I have a suggestion. I think he knows I hold hopes for his reconciliation with Bianca, but if nevermore, maybe consider endeavoring for a very specific mate. It is not as romantic to be very deliberate, but….I recall at one time he strongly considered living in Texas USA🤠🇺🇸. Maybe he could consult with Texans, like fellow vloggers & subbies, to find a dual citizen Filipina/Americana! I can see how TX may suit M well….lotsa beef for meateaters🍔🐮🙂, lotsa dairy access🥛🧀 , near Mexico🇲🇽, a country he likes to vacay in, easier access to visit his mother in Central America, plus other factors ….I’m not detracting from the Philippines, I wish to view M vlog there forever! This is just me wearing my matchmaker cap, in a sense. I don’t have a candidate in mind so not true matchmaking. But just the preliminary thought process….Though my main thought/unpopular opinion would be: wait, don’t rebound, heal thoroughly. Then maybe still wait a bit more….& always pray. 💛 🤔🙂. If you read this, M, I know your a grown man & you have an amazing life, so who am I to advise you? But imo Philippine blood is strong & it is in me, & again imo it is in the blood to give friendly advice…maybe even leaning toward being a bit pushy?! 🤭
Valentines day is for woman not the men your not missing anything but an empty wallet and stress to please someone who expects the moon and the stars😂😂
That breakfast was only expensive because you went to a fancy place to get it. You paid for the aircon , fancy furniture, uniforms, and all that. The food was 150p. Wait, they didn't have aircon, you did get ripped off :)
That's the real freedom of being "alone"because you have the choice if you want to meet your partner,and someone with whom you will really click in the Philippines. Nothing compared to the Western dating hole,where it's a rat race for guys competing for the females and being alone is not a real choice,just a denial attitude to try to cope.
its One of this Days that Still She's Still in my Heart, wheather if i ever decide to Call Her bcoz of St.-Valentines..?? or ill wait Her to Call me...???.// >>>common""Tony"" be strong,;but sometimes am THinkin(doont be stupid) Cupid Days is HERE./
You will get used to be alone for now but remember as you go vlogging to different places, you will meet lots of hearts. Have fun brother.
Thank you, FRANK & FEL, for lending your SUV to Michael. Very generous of you. 🚙 It definitely added to his productivity these past weeks.
I still have it too they had to go to Bacolod so he said keep it a while longer! Feeling Pretty lucky
Frank and Fel are an amazing couple.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
Michael, your channel is growing every day! 👍🏼
Very grateful 😊

Valentine's day is just a postcard holiday in the Phil. No big deal. Alone on Valentine's is the majority situation for us. Cool.
Heppy hearts day Michael,,,,being alone is not a big thing just enjoy your life meet some happy people pretty girls around you keep busy
As solo expat, christmas day i went to Apo Island, Valentines day Whale sharks etc, when solo book experiences...... what you spend / treat someone else ..... spend / treat on yourself when single
We'll put!
Yea, me too alone in Olongapo on Valentines Day

Brother not solo - apart - together-
My wife and my family I have not shared together in four years - not by choice. I will absolutely look you up when I am able to return to the Philippines and my beautiful family.
ask Phil if he has mushy peas and cornish pasties! my mother was English and I really miss those things
Sad to know you’re alone on Hearts Day. That makes two of us. 💙
Three!
Great Bargain on Valentines night. Cheaper than your Breakfast Take Care
Almost 400 for American Breakfast, 499 for the buffet
Boys club right there ! Saw it with my own eyes. Omg Do you gossip ? I'd love to be a fly on the wall and hear the tales those walls hear lol. All good fun I'm sure xxx
Michael got me cracked up with the Belgium beer! 🍺 Sorry kuya, but Erdinger is a German beer. Vielen dank.😂😂😂😂
The glass was German but the beer inside was Belgium I believe
The second beer I got was dark tho so that one probably was
@ThatPhilippinesLife Just joking with you yah... no problem I thought it's maybe just the glas that says Erdinger. 🤣 👍
@ThatPhilippinesLife Kudos to you I love sometimes a dark beer 🍺 😋
*are you guys not together anymore?*
No, we went public Jan.1 ruclips.net/video/tGtX2VR0rDM/видео.html
@@ThatPhilippinesLife *Sorry my bad. I just saw your video about it after I left the comment. Sorry to hear that. I hope it’s for the best. Keep grinding to your goal!*
Like your Videos Mate... You sounds and Speak Like RDJ aka Tony Stark i cant not hear it lol, Keep up the vids enjoying them :)
Thank you!
That pub looks nice. 🤔🤔🤔🤔you and Kat look good together. Hope you hook up and find true happiness
Mornin man
Meat pies you say? Definitely going there LOL
Love the pub. Looks like inside some blokes garage 😂😂😂
Yes it is better to be alone while vlogging and traveling. If most companions are not loyal to you.
Is that pub open to everyone?
It sure is!

May 11 is the lease ending so I'll decide after the big Luzon trip
@@ThatPhilippinesLife very good, I hope your trip goes well, filled with more amazing people that you always seem to find.

Pub looked great. He Just needs to fix the entrance. You still had to duck to avoid getting scalped.
He has some plans now that will do even better than that, new location coming on sma e land and will keep this open until it's done
In the GTA that breakfast is 18.99 LOL!
Crazy part is I'm wondering if I should congratulate you for finding such a cheap place to eat in Toronto (haha just kidding, Canada is way out of wack on food prices)
Gearbox is in iloilo city right ?
Technically Pavia it's right on the border off diversion road
Thank you for the info sir. Ingat

I think they are a bit too young to get along maybe?
4:52 This is punta villa? Wow! I think they expand the area it wasn't like this the last time I went.
It sure is :)

@@wintersojourn9356 yes I think I missed them. I've watched a few vids of both of them but not all. Thanks btw! 👍
👍💕👍
Ehm Erdinger is German beer OMG Mike
Yea it's just the glass but both beer inside it
I'll make sure to serve you some Carlsberg / Tuborg later in the year when im back in ph for more extended time 😉
@@yepssss you sir have a deal
You gotta have a free day once in a while 😉
Where is Bianca?
Go vlog a Philippines beauty pageant
Hah I have so many times actually (two on this channel in the last two months even)
LOL, Aren't Canadians 1/2 Brit? I'm surprised you didn't go for the full English breaky.
Lol it's true but my belly doesn't want to be British
I’m looking into my crystal ball. Next Valentine’s Day I see a super hot smart compatible soulmate, and a new Asian country.
I really like the Philippines but I do want to make trips to Thailand, Vietnam, Japan ect by next year

No haggis?? 😂😂
Scottish 😅
Not a Scottish pub I guess 😂😂😂
Valentines day is for woman not the men your not missing anything but an empty wallet and stress to please someone who expects the moon and the stars😂😂
Whats the name of that british pub
GEARBOX
(Cool name!)
You go to try gearbox sometime
That breakfast was only expensive because you went to a fancy place to get it. You paid for the aircon , fancy furniture, uniforms, and all that. The food was 150p. Wait, they didn't have aircon, you did get ripped off :)
Oh it s definitely all that, plus it's serving some non Filipino dishes
I am sorry she will regret it
It's alright, for the best
why you did not dance?
Two left feet! I can't dance to save my life
People are working for 300 Pesos a day there but breakfast is 500? That restaurant must be only for tourist.
You can take me with you to ex pats. I can't wait to get back I am sick of Australia
That's the real freedom of being "alone"because you have the choice if you want to meet your partner,and someone with whom you will really click in the Philippines.
Nothing compared to the Western dating hole,where it's a rat race for guys competing for the females and being alone is not a real choice,just a denial attitude to try to cope.
