Dogs barking, roosters crowing, neighbours shouting at each other in the early morning.. Add in the trying to start an old diesel engined car on a cold morning and the taxi driving neighbour coming home at 3am and setting off his burglar alarm and it's pretty much like life here where I live in the north of England..

Great overview - thanks for putting together this insightful summary. With a Cebu base I'm hoping to check out some of these places this winter. It's a very tough decision - so many options - and we haven't even mentioned Palawan, Bohol, Siargao, Bantayan etc. So far I'm leaning towards Cebu or Dumaguete but keeping options open pending more exploration.

Your the best KZfaqr going and you just started to scratch the surface of ur potential wow sure hope I see what is in ur future keep going girl 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I really appreciate the thoughtful way that you present this material here (and in all of your other videos). You have a very nice method of providing us with this information. Many of these are places that I had not heard of before, and I look forward to exploring them to find the place where I am the most comfortable. I am very excited about my upcoming trip in December and January, and I keep looking forward to your next videos to help me learn more. Thank you for all that you do.

"hey it's Mirror Beauty from the safest places ... "🥰

Thanks for all of this useful information Rubeauti, you really did a lot of research on this topic. My usual base is Cebu City, but it’s easy to travel to many places from there. Last trip I visited five new islands / cities. Baguio and a couple of your other recommendations look interesting. It’s only Manila I probably won’t return to.

This video was so well done and informative. You did a great job!! I’m putting this in my saved video for when it’s timed to decide where to move next year

Wow! Rubeauti, thank you very much for this vlog - well done, and very professional. This one is a godsend for those of us considering to spend some extended time in the Philippines.

Great info in your video, Rubeauti! I'm hoping to come to the Philippines in March to explore it as a place to retire, and I want to visit and spend time in each of the places you discussed. Thank you for this video!

Excellent video. The maps and pictures of the different places is something that I haven't seen others have on their presentations. Well done.

When I was in BGC this summer, I really liked how there vwere so many officers everywhere. I genuinely felt very safe and wish it was like that here in the states.

Rubeauti you have very good timing I really enjoyed this video talking about the different places for a person could live and what they offer each place. I will be leaving on the 30th of November and one of my first stops is Tarlac conception then I plan to go to Dumaguete and then baguino. Your video had a lot of great information about the expenses and the type of place each area had to offer.

I looked up each place on the map as you mentioned them. You created a good image if each place. I got a small picture of each place. The expense estimates at the each coverage is the icing on the cake. This totally completed the package. Great job!Thank you for your very interesting and informative video. Thumbs-Up!

Rubeauti, thank you for doing this video. Half the cities on this list sound either perfect or damn close. I hope I can retire in a few years and live in one these wonderful places. If I ever get the chance then I'll happily pay back the favor

Excellent content Ms. Rubeauti. Added 3 of these to my bucket list for trip in June '23. Focused on Cebu and Dumaguete, primarily, but Bocolod sounds feasible. Tagatay and Lipa are worth a recon. Thanks for the great info!

Probably the best information on the topic, by far. Glad I saw this.

Very well researched video Rubeauti! Thx for all the info !

I have a episode idea for You. Maybe You could talk about the Philipino education system, such as the best places to send children or young adults to school.

That was very informative. Thank you so much. I hope you had a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Excellent information! Thank you so much for taking your time to do this video.

Thank you Ms. Rebeauti for the information about the cities in your country. I plan on visiting the Philippines for 6 months in 2023 to access my retirement options in the Philippines. This is one of your best blogs yet. Thank you ✨👍

Another very informative and helpful video. I didn't realize how many wonderful places there are (nature, bike paths). Cebu sounds like a great place with a little bit of everything. Many thanks, Rubeauti!

I've been living in Cebu for a couple of months but heading to Bagiou for a couple of weeks soon. Looking forward to it. And Dumaguette is next on the itinerary. Great video!

Excellent list and very useful information, as usual. Thank you!

Thank you for the information. We made our settlement in Davo City and Island Garden City of Samal. Davao is a bit crowded, but if you head to the nearby Samal Island, you'll have pure nature. With a short ferry ride from Samal to Davao you have all the facilities of a large metropolis, including an international airport, mals and entertainment.

Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing!

Thankyou for the hard work putting this together

Outstanding research for all this information. Thank you

Excellent video and very informative. Several of the places you mentioned are on my list of places to visit when I get out there.

Well done very informative over view. Thank you for your time compiling and all of your research.😊

Rubeauti, Very well presented and informative. Thank you.

Thanks! Very helpful info Rubeauti.

Wonderful overview of the choices. Well done Ru 🎉👍🍀

Great info. Thank you!

I enjoy your complete description of different possibilities , very well done and useful , thank you very much

Excellent commentary & information. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

Very comprehensive review of various places to live in the Philippines. I really liked your conclusion as well. It was a well researched and presented video. Thanks much!!

Other sources of noise you overlooked: loud videoke machines in people's homes (unless the power is out).....along with singing fuel by the consumption of Red Horse or a homemade batch of Tuba! Just as those activities are wrapping up, the roosters are out back clearing their throats in preparation for your wake up call. And if you're in the city, frequent use of a vehicles' horn is a time-honored tradition in that part of the world.

Good info. Dumaguete seems to be the place now. Lots of expats there. We have a friend from there originally. A few good stories in Valencia.

Thanks Rubeauti ,,, I was happy to hear my future home Bacolod made your list 😀

I'm considering living in the Philippines 2 years from now. Planning a 1 month look around next August. Thanks for the tips RUbeauti 👍👍

Very professional take on the cities there! Wonderful job!

Hi Rubeauti, hope you are well. I haven’t spoken to you for awhile. Well done for making this very informative video I can see that you put a lot of thought into the research and I appreciate the effort it takes to collect that much information. Have a great day ❤

Awesome vid. I’m moving to Cebu in a couple of weeks but already think it’s just my landing spot and will probably move on within a year. Something a little quieter and better beach access would be ideal. Thank you for your videos. I really appreciate them.

Wow Rubeauti, You Are So We'll Informed. That's The Ticket for those Who Look for Different Features or Lifestyles. So We'll Balanced in your Presentations, we All Get a Slice of the Good, Bad and Ugly of Any Place They May Be Considering ☺️🙏 Thanks So Much for You Continued Coverage.

Wow Rubeauti. That was an excellent overview! I already live in a beautiful place in Boca Raton Florida USA but I'm seriously considering visiting the Philippines between the wonderful people and the beautiful cities it sounds wonderful. I did see another video of yours highlighting some of the negatives but compared to some of these positives, wow. If I do get there I may contact you about a high-quality young lady to show me around. Obviously I'm sure you're taken but someone pleasant and sensible like you would be great. Have a great day in paradise! Thank you!!!

Thank you for this presentation, I learned a lot. I plan to visit PH this summer.

Thank you for the very helpful information. It is appreciated. Very well presented as well. God Bless.

Great video and I always love to watching you

Hi Rubi, While this video is just a dry listing of some statistics, done with your singing voice and beautiful smile it is still very pleasant to watch. And you now experiment with 2 different camera angles, again a new editorial upgrade for your channel, I love that you keep on improving your skill level and it shows us that you are gorgeous from any angle 🙂 If I am going to move half a world away I don't know if I am going to make my decisions based on where a Starbucks coffee shop is located, but it is good to know that Manilla offers convenient transportation by Skateboards because I don't know if I'll still be able to drive a car once I hit my 80's! Rubi, I know that you just moved and am probably still unpacking but is the neon light "hello" sign going to return soon in your videos? The light bars and twinkle lights are cool (mine are not spread out on my sofa) but I really like the "hello" light. World Cup soccer has now started and I'll be spending a lot of time watching the games in addition to working hard but I will still make the time to watch your videos so keep them coming. Chef Paul

Most helpful! Thank you so much!

I think you could be the best Filipina on KZfaq 💖💕💖 Are you single - important question ! 😂 You’re a real pro, lots of potential, many subs already !

Hi Rubeauti. Nice video with lots of good info. For me places like Manila, Cebu and Davao are ok to visit but not too live. Too big and crowded for me. I am currently in Dumaguete checking out the area and it just might be the place I will live. I still have a couple other places to go before I decide but Dumaguete has just about everything I will need for retirement. Keep smiling and stay safe

I live in the Republic of Georgia 🇬🇪 and my grocery bill is 150 dollars a month ! And a good quality of life ! I think I will stay where I am now...

Excellent review. Thank you.

Great summary. Thank you.

Wow. This must of took you a very long time to get all this information. Thank you for all this wonderful information about each city and towns. Job well done. 😀

Best budget video out there. Awesome work!!!

Thanks for the update and information.

Really great video and information. Thank you

This was an excellent review. All questions were answered so its perfectly executed.

Well thought out presentation

Rubeauti - you are amazing. What a flow of nonstop information. This is not my most interesting Vlog. But it is my most useful. Grateful Roger.

Always so helpful ❤

Thank You so much for all the interesting and cool information, You gave choices for anyone and everyone depending on their life style, budget, and interests, Thank You so much, Al

Great video! I agree with your list and am impressed with the overview of each location. Where would be your personal favorite place to live?

Thank you for this video, this is a lot of information about where all expats can live in the Philippines.

A delightful presentation, and such eloquence. Salamat

Good rundown. Thanks.

Well Well done Rubeauti... Thank you!!!!!

Thank you for this vid, very informative.

love your videos!!!

Great informative video. Thank You

Thank you for the information. Very much enjoyed.

Rubeauty, Thanks, once again, for another very informative video. I may retire to the Philippines in another 5-10 years. Roland

Very informative video! Sounds like I just need you for my tour guide! 😁

Great video thanks👍

Thank you 😊 lots of good information 👍🏻

This was an extremely helpful video dear.

Great info !! I would try several different places before deciding. Location is important of course. Just as important is your choice of partner. Choose both wisely for best experience!! 🇵🇭💝🇺🇸

HELLO ! EVERYONE FROM HOUSTON TEXAS USA AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL GOD BLESS 🇵🇭👍🇺🇸🦃❤

Miss you did a very good job and very easy to understand very clear in a short message wow great great information

Thank you for the good summary..😊..God bless..

I love you specifics. Thank you, must to think about.

Thank you, this list was nice. I was looking to retire in Dumagete and possibly open business with a product that is not available yet. I don't like the idea of being just retired. But this list also give me some other options to look at. Thank you.

Super info 🥰 Thanks

Thank you for this. Just when I thought Cebu City might be the finalist, looks like I will have to check out Davao and Bacolod. Perhaps spend a while in each place.

Fantastic info! Thank you so much ))

Thanks for all the information.

Thank you Rubeauti !! I love your help and knowledge … and really beautiful too !! Taurus boy

Thanks I enjoyed the video, surprised Iloilo city did not make the list, that’s where we have chosen to retire. Bacolod was runner up.

Thank you. This is helpful.

Great video good information thank you very much

Thank you for another great video great information you really did your homework I really hope some day I'm able to come over and enjoy your beautiful country 🙏❤💋

Let me be the first to say thank you for that very insightful info. I have visited a few of the places you mentioned but now I think I better go back 😆 better armed. I never realize it but you talk really fast. I love your content, please let us know if there is anything else we can do to continue supporting your efforts.

Excellent video and information. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

Lots of good information good job 👍💯

The Philippines has alot of nice cities. Definitely planning to visit ✈️

Planning to retire there in 2-3 years I came back from a vacation with my fiancée and daughter mainly looking for a place to settle down we visited baguio and tagaytay which were both really nice but getting up and down from the mountain in baguio was a little to much.. next year we plan to travel to dumagete and Valencia possibly stopping by a couple towns in between. I prefer a little cooler climate being from Michigan, USA anyway I d like to thank you so much for your time and effort on making this video this is my first time posting but long time subscriber keep up the good work sweetheart

My first time listening... I really enjoy watching and listening to you!❤
