Wow knowing that you’ve rescued those lovely dogs melted my heart now 😭😭😭😭😭😭

New Subscriber thank you for choosing Siargao Island..My birth place My paradise.

I think what they mean they bought land is they bought a leasehold title to the land. Its maximum 50 yrs and renewable for next 25 yrs.

Beautiful couple...and kind hearted too.

Good Luck Guys...!!! I am Gerard from Switzerland but born in the Philippines

@Emy & Johan - you both probably needs to address the foreigners cannot own any land in the PI. Almost all threads are all about how you two are able to own. Nonetheless, be careful, stay safe, and have a happy and prosperous life. Someday I will find my way back to where I came from. From the Land of Lincoln in Illinois stay safe!

You guys are going to gain so much viewers in the Philippines and all over the world who love's to find or people seeking paradise. Thanks for the love!❤️❤️

New Subscriber here! We are Americans formerly Filipinos. As you speak right now, we are teary eyes because we grew up in the rice fields like what Im seeing right now. We cant believe how you guys appreciate Philippines and wants to live there, I salute you for your humbleness. We've been around Scandinavia Countries esp. Stockholm its beautiful country.

Thank you for investing and promoting life in the Philippines. I'm a Filipino living in Detroit, Michigan for 20 years and I've never been more proud of the Philippines until now due to all the improvements and infrastructures that are going on right now. It got me thinking of going back and investing on some properties there. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Hello guys! New subscriber here in Southern California. Looking forward to your upcoming vlogs in Siargao and other parts of the Philippines.

Just stumbled upon your vlog and got touched by your resolve to help . I subscribed immediately. I see angels walking on the earth. Love you already guys

I have a lot of respect to all the people who are animal lovers, Thank you so much lovely couple for rescueing the homeless fur babies. 🙏🏼

Be carefull, check with local government agencies like the Registry of Deed prior to buying a land.I know foreigners are not allowed to purchase a land, good luck to both of you staying in the Philippines.

I''ve been following many foreign vloggers who were astonished by the beauty of this country, and I 'am grateful for all of them including you Emy & Johan. It's very interesting watching your vlog, love of nature, animals and promoting it. Take care and God bless.

I hope you guys hired a lawyer and got more legal advice about buying a land in the Philippines. What I know is that foreigners are not allowed to buy a residential land in the Philippines unless they legally married to Filipinos or legally will put a business. Take care and be careful of Scammers. The island is lovely but lots of people who takes advantage of innocent people. Take care and God bless. 😇🙏

Good choice and have a lot of fun there

I hope you guys are ok and are coping well in these challenging times.

Beautiful view and landscape. Thank you for saving animals ( dogs & cats). Well, life must go on even after the storm. Keep the energy high & on. My place and area as well was badly hit by Typhoon Odette in Bohol. Stay safe and have fun. Welcome to Philippines Emy & Johan.

Hello guys thanks for choosing the Philippines. Just stay safe God bless

Very beautiful place enjoy and keep safe always! God bless to both of you!

Hei, hei! I just saw this by chance and I subbed right away! :) I will check your other videos and show ithem to my husband. Enjoy the tropical paradise there. Meanwhile, it's slushy weather here in our city. :(

Good for you guys. What's important now is to fence the whole property to determine the boundaries or corners. 👍

Thanks Ma'm & Sir - Emy & Johan for choosing Siargao Island and always stay safe and don't give up because of the storm that was the first time it happened in Siargao Island, I'm also from Siargao Island living in town of Dapa.

Hi. I'm from General Luna and I just happened to stumbled upon your blog. Thank you for loving it here in Siargao specially here in GL. I hope you'll continue to appreciate the beauty of this small piece of paradise. Stay safe you both.

Hello Emy and Johan, sending full support, my new found friend in You Tube. Thanks for traveling and staying here in the Philippines, Siargao. You found a cute kitten. Well so nice to be near with nature

i admire your courage for having the vision of really dwelling in the islands when the locals are ashamed of. more power! I'm an urban localist wanting and finding some land like yours ..away from the filth of the systemm

In general Philippine real estate law prohibits the foreign ownership of land. This prohibition on foreigners owning land in the Philippines is found in the Philippines Constitution. ... A corporation is considered to be of Philippine nationality if at least 60% of the corporation is owned by Filipino citizens.

Very nice place and quite peaceful place to live there..

“How we behave toward animals here below determines our status in life, Perhaps one reason we are fascinated by cats is that such a small animal can contain so much independence, dignity, and freedom of spirit.

Wow.. welcome to the Tropical islands!!! I subscribe from your channel to see all your happy adventure in the PH.

So beautiful land you have guys,full of natures life,so awesome love it💚💚💚

Just keep on vlogging ma'am and sir and I'll watch them whenever I have time.

I saw that you are helping those abandoned dogs so I decided to subscribe 😉 because I just love dogs thank you 😊 ❤️

Nice video keep blogging just subscribed!👍😘🇵🇭

Hi emy and johan. Im just a concern filipino fan. Always take care of the land that you are buying from this like mountain. Make sure that you will have a legal title of the land and transfer under your. For safety, ask for assistance on your municipality office. God bless...

Happy to see u guys enjoying the tropics...hope u guys are fine where u at in siargao..

God bless you and keep you JOHAN and EMMY. I think learning the language will help you easy to relate especially when you buy locals. I admire your enthusiasm. Also ask the locals elders to bless your property.

Welcome to our Country..Philippines Guys..im Very happy as filipino watching you guys living in our Country..i share your vedeos to my friends Filipinos to support you more guys..y our very lucky to have a land in our Country..hope to see when i go home in our Country Philippines..if you love planting guys and love to eat fresh fruits our Country is the best..for it..

I know lots of Filipinos are commenting foreigners can’t own land. I’m pretty sure they already know this so you don’t need to say it over and over. If you watch Traveling Clatt he also bought a piece of land and knows about it. Becoming Filipino also has a home building going on. We don’t really know the story behind it so we just need to be sensitive of others or the foreigners who love the Philippines ❤️🙏🇵🇭

Such a beautiful place indeed .. Hopefully, the trees affected by the typhoon will grow back

I subscribed to your channel guys... happy to hear from you.. ♥️♥️♥️

Very nice view 👌

Foreigners are prohibited from owning land in the Philippines, but can legally own a residence. The Philippine Condominium Act allows foreigners to own condo units, as long as 60% of the building is owned by Filipinos.

Since you are near in the beach ,i wish you make fishing vlog and show us the beauty of siargao ❤️❤️❤️

keep on vlogging we will support u

Hi guys .. Beautiful place to build a house..What a view !! You've got a kitty now 😀

Hallo guys! How are you after the typhoon? Be Careful buying a Land, be sure that land has a Title. Stay safe! Watching from Switzerland.🇵🇭🇨🇭

Hi guy's! I'm very impressed and jealous with you guys. I'm a pure Filipino born in the Philippines and living almost 36 years here in Holland. I'm dreaming to go back and to live there again in a nice quite province with a normal life together with my wife. But our problem is our budget is not yet enough to buy a lot and build our home. That's why my only chance is to wait my pension, but it will take me 12 years more. :( I'm also trying to blog but I'm not really good at it and I'm also too shy. I've been to some other countries for vacation like Europe, U.S. and I have many things experienced already in my life like a very terrible car accident and loosing my mom. But all of this I just still have one more dream and that is to go back there to live in a quite peaceful normal life with a beautiful nature surrounding made by God in the Philippines. We'll guy's good luck, stay safe and God bless you both! By the way, build a strong typhoon proof house with solar panel and rain water farm too! ;)

Its nice to see foreigners like u couples appreciate the beauty of the philippines.Im from manila capital of the philippines good choice siargao.less people .very quiet and relaxing.enjoy guys.

Wow very beautiful landscape and place perfect.

Former natural-born Filipinos can own property in the Philippines, subject to limitations prescribed by Philippine Republic Act 8179 (residential property up to 1000 square meters of urban land or one hectare of rural land) and Batas Pambansa 185 (business property 5000 square meters of urban land or three hectares of rural land). Philippine real estate law does not allow outright ownership of real property by foreign nationals. Filipinos and former Filipino citizens and Philippine majority owned corporations are permitted to own land, buildings, condominiums and townhouses. Foreign nationals may buy condominiums units in Philippine condos (shares in condominium corporations) as long as not more than 40% of the units in a project are acquired by foreigners (Republic Act 4726, otherwise known as the Condominium Act).

Hi Johan,Emy love watching your vlog I missed the beautiful place of Siargao,btw I want to know how you manage to buy a land bec.foreigner are not allowed to owned a land in the PHILIPPINES except condominium.Ask another Swede name Sanne married to a Filipino about land ownership just to be sure.Well take care guys enjoyed the tropical paradise.🙏❤Fr.Doha,Qatar🇶🇦🇵🇭

Good luck for both of you living in Siargao…😀it’s not easy especially with the climate and the culture…

Godbless to both of you I love dog’s too keep safe always just start watching your videos love it

Interesting Project ! When I saw the title I knew all the comments would be about how foreigners can't own land . . . but you can do a long term lease, and if your project is well planned that could be great . . . I'd love to do something like this, Good Luck !

The law do not permit foreigners to own a land here in the Philippines. The least one can do is to lease the land. There's another vloggers there in Siargao name the Travelling Clatt who lease a land and in the process of building a house when the typhoon hit. There's another Swede there who manages a foundation called Nature Kids of Siargao who's married to a Filipino. Her name is Sanne, they have a child and they own a property maybe because of her Filipino husband. Maybe you're friends with them. Ask them about land ownership and its legalities to avoid getting scammed. Take care.

hey guys... welvome here from Philippines.. I'm new to your channel.. rooting for yozr big filipino community here on your channel.. hope you met mike and nelly soon.

Best of luck to both of you.Thank you for promoting our country.I just hope that you guys has a filipino friends that treat you as a family because as a foreigner you cant own a land here unless a filipino friend of yours use his/her name.positive vibes✌

Mabuhay Guys Welcome to the Philippines; you say you bought land in the Philippines. I have been here in the Philippines for 20 yrs. My late Filipina wife and I purchased land here 9 yrs ago because she had dual citizenship. She passed away a few yrs ago, and I thought I would have to move off the property because foreigners are not allowed to own property in the Philippines. But after talking to an attorney, I found out that I can inherit this property because I am on the purchase contract and a permanent resident here. But the title will remain in my late wife's and my name. I can sell it in my late wife's name but only to a Filipino citizen. May I suggest you let another Attorney see your documents? The NBI may want to question you about the person that sold you the property. BUT not all is lost. The property owner just has to change the paperwork to a leasehold contract for fifty years with a twenty-five or fifty-year extension. Just make sure they are the real owners of the property and make sure the contract is prepared by a real attorney.

This is the first time that I see your vlog..I think you are good people and love animals 👍🐆 About the land i don’t think you can buy that yet because you are not a citizen here.. You better know the rules here when you can buy a property here..Good luck and be careful in dealing business here..🙏😊

Hi guys always careful those persons have not fear the karma but only thier greed. Good luck.

Hi , welcome to the Phils guys ..Will follow you in your life's journey here in the Phils Good wishes to both of you Hi Kitty ..

Question, did you buy or lease the land? Because your title was Buying.

Hi! I hope you’re both well after the typhoon. How do you find it now living in there post typhoon? Any change of hearts? I hope the experience didn’t discourage you. Been wanting to visit your country- Sweden because of ABBA…haha! Have a lovely weekend. Maraming salamat for this video. Missing Philippines…Namaste!

Can't wait to see your next vlog.keep safe

Hejsan!Ni har så fint där även om jag inte varit just det stället.Jag tycker att jätte fint.Jag har en vän i Sverige som har familj i Siargao!Ha det så bra o lycka till i framtiden.

Just wondering here. As far I know foreigners aren’t allowed to buy or own land in the Philippines especially that huge lot. How did you do it?

It would be great to stay and rest during summer in Siargao. But not during typhoon season. For me, having a place there is more like a resthouse to me

Wow that's awesome! that you love our country the Philippines! Its my first time to see your Vlog! My husband and I and a couple of friends, we went to Sweden in 1998. We live here in California and We visited Siargao for the first time two years ago, we love Siargao it's a beautiful Island! My daughter said while going on tour...Let's buy a house here! It's so beautiful!!! Love the land that you bought....breathtaking view. Ok, Good luck to you guys!

I am so happy I found your channel coz it makes me feel that I am there too

How did you as foreignera, manage to buy land in PH? And do you have the real title if so?

How did you buy the land, under which constitution? As per Philippine law: Foreigners cannot own land or property in the Philippines unless 60% is co-owned by a local or corporation. Hope you were not scammed out of your money!

New subscriber here.i just saw these vlog in my KZfaq news feed,looking forward for your next vlog.
