It’s good to be king… Is Ayala a Spanish family that owns everything in the Philippines? I thought you had to be Filipino to own property here in the Philippines? 🤔
The ayalas have been here since spanish regime. When Philippines was liberated, they stayed. They are old money, since spanish era, they're filipino citizens. There is no such thing as the Filipino race. Filipinos are very diverse. Some are pure blooded Spanish, pure Chinese. Those in the northern parts specially in the Cordilleras and Batanes share DNA with East asians. Some share their dna with other SEAsians, specially Indonesians and Malaysians, hence why some words specially in the south are the same with Bahasa. Other Filipinos share DNA with Pacific Islanders. Other Filipinos may have drops of middle eastern blood due to the Arab traders who were here before the Spaniards. Philippines was predominantly a muslim place before the Spaniards came. Others may have DNA the same as Mexicans and Aztec Indians due to the Galleon trade where some south american natives were brought here by the Spaniards. Hence why 10% of Filipino words are of Nahuatl origin, the language of the Aztecs. Some Filipinos, one of the earliest settlers, resembles those of the african people. Others are a combination of all these races due to generations of inter-marriage. Others are meztiso, the term we use for half Filipinos. That's why when you look at Filipinos were very diverse in physical traits, skin color, hair. Some will look middle eastern or south asians, others look like latinos, some have east asian traits and eyes, some quite eurasians, while some have african traits, kinky hair and dark skin.
They are real Filipinos because Philippines was only born during Spanish time. Hence, the name Philippines was derived from the King of Spain that time. Which was King Philip. The native inhabitants of the Philippines were the Maharlikans. The Ayalas of today are called insulares meaning Spaniards born in the Philippines.
So I'm From the California, and I want to go there for the 1st Time.... Where is the Place to Go to Arrange Monthly Basic Rent in a Sky Rise Condo in BGC or MaKati ?
Phillipines is an amazing country. My journey to Phillipines started back in year 2015. I married my wife back than in Phils. Have been there in 2017 and in 2019/20 and in 2022 and now i go there in 2024 and in november i stay in phils for 5 months. I will go to this amazing Country every year now. Love Phillipines. Friendly people. People visit you. Good weathen. When its not rainy days. I will take many more trips to phillipines. Good country for vacation country. I am from Norway. Nice video. Made me miss Phillipines. Lucky i go there soon!
It's nice that you showed Makati in this video.... it's not only BGC. Makati has elevated walkways, many malls and 8 underground passes for pedestrians, the longest in Southeast Asia.
I enjoy your content it's well wellwritten and your descriptions are great. I used to work in television . I have been a cameramam. I'm heading to the PH.
Videos like these got me to the Philippines! Hope it inspires others in the west to get out of your bubble and go where you’re treated best, or at least check it out
I agree with you, if you've created your lifestyle, then live it. I first discovered The Philippines in January 2000 and truly fell in love with it, particularly Palawan.
sometimes we need to go out of our comfort zone to realized that a better world is out there. i hope you will inspired more people to live the way we deserve. I agree, you earned it. Take 1 one bus ride to pampanga and explore. its the cuisine capital of the phil. I will show you around, lunch is on me.
Interesting fact about Ruth's Chris Steak House. The Ruth's Chris Steak House in the Philippines is more expensive than the Ruth's Chris here in the US. For example, the Tomahawk Ribeye 40 oz is P12,000 there and $170 here in the US. $170 is only P9,548.90. That's a P2451.10 difference or $43.64.
I’ve never been to the Phillipines, been to Thailand five times for three month stays , leaned how to speak a little Thai, can figure out the exchange rate in my head , never feel out of my comfort zone while I’m there etc etc,.. but the thought of retiring there with these new taxation laws that appear to be coming down the pike have me seriously looking into the Phillipines
Your not regret because you lucky you are in a good country all say is that true not only you talk about the philippine all of the countries,they say they changes a lot when she or he go to philipppines emotional ,physical,they all become patient,humble and be happy everyday❤❤❤.
Thank you for feedback about our country.Visit also some provinces and captivating places.Hope you enjoy staying in Philippines and hope u will decide to stay for your retirement
@@edmadrinan2022 I think, vlogging and software analyst, or IT professional. According, to his previous videos he was a software developer. I don't know if it's true.
I’m here on vacation with 3 years before retirement. It’s a 3 week vacation. My gf owns our condo and car. I brought $6,000 with me and will take over 4k back. I can’t even spend 2k in 3 weeks
32.5 and counting. You are such a cool guy, we all enjoy your videos. I discovered beautiful places I never been to in the Philippines coz I’m living here in Europe and i terribly missed the Philippines 🇵🇭 Thanks for all your videos, we love and enjoy watching it. Massive thumbs up 👍
Hi Sit Brian! How are you living/visiting my country? Hope you are always okay! Enjoy and be happy. Staying here. Be Safe always Sir. ❤❤❤ God bless you Sir!
Try to visit Tagaytay, just 3 hrs drive from Metro Manila. So many beautiful places and sceneries there like Twin Lakes, Crosswinds, Tagaytay Highlands, etc. But the main attraction there is Taal Volcano within a lake. Best if you rent a car going there.
I'm retiring in 6 1/2 years in Lipa City. Getting out of the stress, the thugs, and political machine that keeps westerners working till 70 or older. I see alot of them such a shame. Remember you can live very well off of a budget of $1000 there in most Asian countries. The naysayers don't know how to budget or spend their savings on women. Be smart, take your time, do your research & breathe. Good luck to those who leave their home countries & explore & live a revived life. As for me I already visited 27 countries & like the Philippines 🇵🇭 & it will be my new home soon
Please listen up people. You will not... not live well off 1k in asia. I really dont understand why these expats and retirees say you can. rent alone can cost up 1 thousand. please do the math. You would not be able to leave your room for 1k a month. How bout food, party, girls, movies, shopping, travel to other places. Just keeping it real.
1000 usd rent this is why these expats go broke. You can get a very nice place for $300 a month. How about Google it. I like these scare tactics these people use. Stop selling your BS to make people think it is so expensive. My wife is Filipina & her sister lives in Binan Laguna & has a very nice 2 bedroom apartment for 5000PHP. If your paying $1000 rent a month you better pack your bags & go back to your country. Funny people.
Also, let me add alot of expats go broke because they act like Big Shots over in the Philippines & other Asian countries. They come with a little social security check & very little savings. They then spend recklessly & before you know it they are homeless living on the streets. My Filipina wife has commented many times about this. They try to borrow money & then get in trouble with either their visa or passport. Like I said earlier you can afford to make it for a $1000 a month to pay for rent, food, clothing, water, electric etc. Now if you want to travel, go out to eat & do a lot of spending money yeah you need more than $1000 a month to cover all that. Then you would need another $500 or more especially if you pay $1000 USD a month for a place to stay at. Google apartments & condos. I do recommend having the very least $75k in USD for unforseen bills such as hospital visit or repairs to car or motorcycle. Good luck in retirement. Always remember to live YOUR LIFE, but not someone else's.
Yes you can get a place for 1000 USD a month forsure! I actually live in Cebu city but you can get a nice place for like $1200 there in BGC even cheaper in Makati.
Hi! I'm Filipino-Chinese and happens to see your video here. You can say that the standard of living in the Philippines can be cheap for foreigners who earn in dollars. But if you'll take time to look around the country, you'll see plenty of locals who are really having a hard time surviving on a daily basis. So I guess you may like to move beyond BGC to see and realize that life is tough for ordinary Filipinos and is getting tougher by the day. Just saying...
locals /natives of the Philippines. Knows how to adjust or adapt in life . maybe balance it? It is not too much seen that it is still in its 3rd world position as a country . ❤ because of how the people faces life.
On your video,I don't know how can be king in Philippines because it's not much activity or exciting too much to do ,very boring. I live in Thailand,I can be real King because it's many activities to do,many places to go ,and Thai people serve you like a King, exciting all the time
@@juliuzztumanz1983 yes. That is such an awful rumor. For the last 7 years everyone is on social media learning English. I’ve met many random people in Cambodia and Thailand that speak English.

you never showed your condo that you say is so affordable all utilities paid under 1k usd. i looked at available condos under 800 (the rest for utilities etc) and the ones available didn't look to roomy or nice in BGC. how does one find a good deal? i must not be in the know.

@@juliuzztumanz1983 yes. That is such an awful rumor. For the last 7 years everyone is on social media learning English. I’ve met many random people in Cambodia and Thailand that speak English.

Did you inherit a fux ton of money?
you never showed your condo that you say is so affordable all utilities paid under 1k usd. i looked at available condos under 800 (the rest for utilities etc) and the ones available didn't look to roomy or nice in BGC. how does one find a good deal? i must not be in the know.

you can get a really nice one bedroom condo in a good location in BGC or Makati for 600grand/mo
How about using that to help needy people there instead of serving yourself?
You're so lucky.
good 4 you dude
The Philippines is not cheap compared to the rest of East Asia, the word king and Philippines do not go together.
You hang out in malls.....how unique and extraordinary!
