No real kitchen either

Let's be honest, it's a one room F*** Hut with remote CR, It's not a house. 25k is crazy talk. 😁

Ghetto for big bucks

@MelbaGalardi Yea but it is on the beach, and he hasn't had any luck finding anything in that range for a rental.

For 20k its alright, beach and bar right nearby... Once the landscaping fixed it will be far better and can make area for activities! For peeing you just get a bottle when your alone or plant a lemon tree off the balcony ;) I think you live mostly outside right and make friends with the locals.... this place just for sleeps and chilling now and then between the busy social life. Haha and if a typhoon was scheduled probably take shelter somewhere else !

That's a very sensible idea 👍

I guess it’s okay because he got the surrounding yard like a private rented property.

Silly of course I'm going to promote the event for you all! 😁 See you there

@angelkayegulmatico3496 thought you did great, truly. Good enunciation, adequate volume, some eye contact (kinda shy which is sweet, but you looked at the camera too a bit to good effect), good posture, & your presence is lovely as …an Augustinian angel🪽😀//I luv the place, Michael. You PREFER outdoor to indoor-outdoor living. Of course you’ve mentioned enjoying 5star & luxury too, but for vacays. For homebase this seems like you, except would’ve been nice just a smudge larger ie one more room. But I read in comments you maybe would. E allowed a shed or temp lean-to or something, though you do have that nice covered seating area all ready…maybe could adapt that somehow I didn’t look at it well only viewed vlog once….

Should read: smidge larger (not smudge). & “maybe you will be allowed”. Not E. allowed 😊🤣

$25 K is too much for a bahay kubo.

Especially if it's raining.

@vian101 it DOES resemble them, but the roof shape kinda threw me. I’ve been told all kinds of animals were kept under the raised floor, whatever you had.

@@wintersojourn9356 yeah, I also remember my grandpa does wood working in the "silong" - the space under the floor. The roof I think is made of nipa or maybe anahaw I'm not sure. But it helps with cooling the house.

@vian. Yes nipa or that woven fiber used for bed mats traditionally? Anahaw, I don’t know that term, but maybe that’s what you mean. But something about the general shape didn’t strike me as traditional kubo forms, but sorry I can’t describe without rewatching, can’t recall why exactly. Seemed maybe Asian but not Filipino? But then & again, this is just casual observations of not a Philippine resident nor an architecture scholar! I just enjoy photos, pics, etc, don’t recall ever actually being in or seeing an original nipa hut….

I meant the overall home reminds me of kubo, but the roof shape didn’t seem quite to fit that “style” or form….but that was just my 1st impression & im not an expert at all anyways. It is just …charming if he does get it that he will be living in a sense very traditionally.

@@wintersojourn9356 anahaw is a type of fan palm but the one used in weaving I think is called buri. You're right about the roof, maybe they were trying to make it look more modern? Or make way for additional windows? The shape of Ifugao roofing kinda looks similar but it also resembles Indian traditional houses (The Arsh).

My mom’s Alma mater too-1950s. My elder sis, my younger sis and me too. Agustinians

Just my dad. He is the only non UP in the family. But we made him honorary member.

It was a Filipino friend who found it. The asking rate was based on how much they get on airbnb now

I'm in Montréal, Canada. I've been to the Philippines three times already, the last time for three months. I wonder how visas work today. If I want to stay for half a year or even a full year, how does the visa process work?

You can get it here in Aust at some restaurants

This is a plus for me since I get to be there before it takes off, I'm hoping to start a business here in the beach and in two years it would be too expensive to start I think

@kimwatchman644 Thats for typhoons. They do the same thing in the Florida Keys for hurricanes.

Yea I'm thinking of all kinds of things like this too, talking to the owner personally tonight to talk about options

Put the bed up /loft it, as in your friend’s daughter’s room, (the friend you stayed at he & his wife’s place with B after leaving the 1st Ilo2 rental); so you can have room under for a desk. Maybe not your main work space, but an extra desk/table. Just like college dorms….Or could be storage space for whatever.

Hi. Do you have a contact for a realtor? I’m looking to rent
