Wow, this *IS* an interesting take from the FAMFROMTHEBAY. I think this is a real, honest take from someone who moved back to this country not just because its in vogue or there's ready audience but I think reestablishing their roots and finding it better than when they first moved out. And that take of that couple from Tigbauan is interesting too, while we locals complain about some of our leaders and despicable fellow citizens sometimes there can still be good to be had on this country when viewed from the optics of expats or fellow citizens who's been out of the country for a while, I think that is a good constructive criticism. While Im not too fond of watching long episodes but this one was enjoyable especially the bay fam's take on iloilo and R6 at that, it only validates the data from PSA that this region is becoming one of the fastest growing ones. Hopefully this region retains its charm after it found success not unlike the blighted and congested ones in R7, R3 or R4A regions. Hey now that you're back Tyco fam ill be watching out for your next EP's and on the Famfromthebay too! I think Ty is gonna love it here, seeing his excitement in having your own place IS palpable in the first part of this Episode. 😅😅 👍🏼👍🏼😉

Wow, thanks for your great feedback and for watching til the end. We usually don't like to make our videos too long. But we took a chance this time since there were a lot of great things we all talked about and that many of our abroad viewers could relate to. We actually had to trim down a lot of the conversation so that it wouldn't be even longer than it is now 🙈🤪. Either way, just as you mentioned, it is definitely nice to hear more stories of other people's backgrounds and perspectives of the Philippines. Thanks again for the support. More episodes coming soon 😊

Nice home. We live in Bicol for 8 years. Retired from California to move back here. Went to Iloilo last year thought about moving there. I was not impress with subdivision. They have a lot empty lots and they over growth all kinds stuff. I was hoping every place in subdivision was excellent. The mega world down town was nice. They have S& R and a lot big name stores. I thought it not to be as green as Bicol. But to each there own. Best thing to me about living in Philippines is cost of living. You cannot be it. We are debt free living here. Loving that!

Thanks so much for the feedback and your honest opinion on Iloilo. Congrats on your retirement. Nice to know there's more fellow Californians settling well in other parts of the Philippines. And yes, we totally agree that cost of living is the best thing about the Philippines. That's what really helped us live a comfortable life here. Thanks again 🙂

Congratulations, former Bay Area family. I believe you did the right thing by moving back to the roots of the Filipino tradition where you came from originally. Philippines is now one of the fastest growing economies in the world, especially in Asia. Plenty and more than enough resources to provide the needs of Filipinos locally and even better compare to the American resources which are now even more GMOd, (Genetically Modified Organism) food supplied through technology which is not good for the health of the human body. Philippine products are still grown naturally without any mixed chemicals as opposed to other countries that are altering the natural food production for profits. The Land and the Sea have more to offer fresh fish and vegetables coming from a nearby fish market where they also sell fresh fruits which come in different flavors. Can’t get any better than that when you go shopping for all the things you need for the family. I admire the Sarge family’s focus and their planning stages in a long term before moving to the Philippines and really giving it a proper perspective as to what needs to be done in the process. There’s always those who want to give some input concerning the move and what it would be like according to their own views. But you stuck to own your plan despite all the negative comments which normally come out of their noncompliance objections. What you have done thus far, that you have accomplished in building your own home in Iloilo is a dream come true. But for most of us that are still here in U.S.A., we are still in the planning stages waiting and planning for the next major move to settle from where we came from originally. You are absolutely right when you mentioned America as a materialistic nation where everyone is competing to show whose got what and what not. It’s more about competition here rather than appreciating what God has given and provided for us and to be thankful for it. We have a society in America where everyone has been influenced to have more materials than the salary we can afford just to keep up with the Jones as you mentioned. America is no longer a place to achieve the American dream with the exception to those who want to be at the top and to do whatever it takes to the demands of the hierarchy of ungodly expectations. I’ve been here long enough to witness the systemic oppression of these so-called professionals but yet far from Godly principles. The workplace is no longer a place to look forward to in waking up early in the morning to provide your services. There’s so much animosity and competition to get to the top and others will put you through under the bus to have that promotion. I’m retired now from IT (Information Technology) and have worked in this sector almost my entire life as an IT administrator/project manager. Graduated college here in California with some great success but not without obstacles in the process which is pretty normal in a work environment. My wife and I are looking into one of these places in the Philippines especially in Iloilo as a retirement place to settle down. We have something in common being a Filipino-American where we have been and done that which we can relate to each other. God bless.

Wow, thank you for sharing that! First of all, hello bay area! You're right on point 💯. We're glad that there's many Filipino Americans out there who feel the same way and are looking for other options for a better quality of life. Back in the day, we didn't have many resources or a community like this to talk to during our planning stages. So it's great to hear feedback from more and more families nowadays, which validates our decision from the start. Thank you again. Good luck with your move! 🙂

Hardly you see Filipinos living in ghettos in the States because we work 16 hours 4 to 5 days a week. As the family had said you just hardly see your children, they grow up with their friends instead of us their parents and so the children feel like their friends are their family instead of us their parents. Soon they are like foreign to us their parents because they start cussing and yelling at us their parents.

It's a personal preference. And so far our family has had only small visits to the doctor. Nothing too serious. And the quality of healthcare in our experience was good, if not better. The doctors are well educated and speak great english. There's even health clinics in the malls. It's very convenient.
