Many have asked for it so here is the Facebook of the resort too facebook.com/marbuenaislandresort?mibextid=ZbWKwL

I'm Filipina but I left the Philippines as a child and haven't been able to return after 30 years of living in the US. It's so great to see your explorations of my homeland

Thank you for visiting our town! We are glad you enjoyed your visit and we hope you can come back soon and have more time to spend here, that way you can experience more of what Ajuy can offer. Enjoy your travels!

Thanks for visiting our beautiful Town AJUY mike 🔥

Gotta laugh at the trolls commenting...jealousy is a curse. Have you heard of that? Keep up the good work Mike 👍

A lot of good places in the Philippines were not promoted. Thanks, Michael, for your hard work ....soon, the Philippine government will be noticing your love of the country.

Great trip. I really love those island resorts. Such great people. That lighthouse was incredible. Did they say when it burned? Your guide was awesome. Can you imagine the job of the lighthouse person. I can't believe the people you meet. So many places to fall in love with. Love your market walks. I would like to know more about the food sales like meat, fish and vegetables. It would be awesome to eat right from the market. You really see awesome stuff. The land prices are astounding. I think you're my #1 channel now. Excited to see every vlog.

Wow, youre so lucky you went to see the mayor. You got a VIP ride Mike. Thats their compliment for promoting their beautiful town. That's really awesome!

The mayor is cute and nice .. I hope they'll get more investors in Ajuy.

It is so good that you meet the Mayor and got lots of information and very kind and meet Axle. Perfect. Nice vlogg.

Class act. Heads of municipalities want to chat with you, even with little notice.

Only in the philippines where you can visit the mayor without any appointment.. luv it !

The towns in Iloilo seem to have been inspired by the development in Iloilo City. My family is from the city, Mandurriao,but have not been to Ajuy. So glad you covered the province. Nice to see the towns outside the city. Thanks

This is GOOD stuff … great find !!! Great video … super informative AND just great content - its the old Micheal is back again !!!

Look at the sea, its so blue and calm (26:29) and the sky is so blue, and the talisay trees, so colorful leaves (red, brown, yellow, green, etc). And the general ambiance is so relaxing. This guy fron England and his Ilongga wife are just fortunate to be living in Ajuy! Iloilo is just a great paradise of a place!

Wow thank you so much for bringing us to that historic place. Thank you to your guide..kudos!

Oh that's my home town, Mayor Jet Rojas was still quite young when I was there studying at Ajuy Nat'l High School in the 1980s. Just across from our barangay is Marbuena Island we used to bathe there that day on that Island. The care taker there now Armando Molina is my siister classmate. Its the same in Parola Island we used to bath there before, and that Hill Top in Culasi is not yet like that there was no sightseeing on the hill top before.

Wow! When people like you, things surely happen. Great video, Michael.

Michael, you do. The right way is to visit the mayor's office and ask for assistance to promote their town.

Great video Michael. Where ever I travole here I always stop at the local or Provincial Tourism office. They are all very welcoming and have great infomation. We went down to Legaspi last week and went by the Daraga touism office. They were just so glad that I was there, had most of the staff come out to meet us. They gave us lots of brocheurs, maps, and I learned that they were just starting their festival. So we did a video on the Street Dancing Parade.

What an awesome video. I really enjoyed it. Much better now.😂👍

Nice mayor. Despite his business, he was very courteous to talk to you.

Like your style of vloging Michael, great work on this one

Such an enjoyable video ! You were right, well worth the wait 🙂 and like you said, excellent land prices ! Absolutely loved the gorgeous blue-green color of the ocean water. What a cool trip !

See....this is a cool little town than Concepcion!!! Very organized, clean and neat!! It doesn't mean only big cities have the potentials. But this place Ajuy has that ambiences and potentials aside from the friendly people here, they are also open and very informative to foreigners and tourists!!! Chapeau to the officials who govern the town!!! I like this cozy place too !!

Wow what a long video but well worth the watch. A very amazing place. Even paying 20 peso for the boat ride is worth it to see such an amazing place. The lighthouse island was great and love the old building there.

Marbuena Island Resort. That’s the kind of place I want to visit.

Amazing great video mike.❤

The Ajuy mayor Jett Rojas is a very nice humble guy. He is well loved by the townspeople...

Fantastic vlog! Love that you cover not just the popular or mainstream places but also local places, small towns or municipalities that that majority would tend to overlook. I’ve never heard of Ajuy before but what a gem! I’ll bet everyone in Ajuy loves their Mayor Roxas. Such a sweet man. Same with the people you interacted with. Island hopping seemed like fun. Views are spectacular.

For the first time I’m so glad to watch my home town Ajuy in the vlog Michael. It’s nice to see that you visited and included Ajuy also. There’s a lot of foreign bloggers in the Philippines but they are mostly go to other islands but not In a small town in Iloilo or Panay. I always watching your vlog here in Sweden because you are showing the City of Iloilo or the Panay island. Go and explore more in Panay the island have a lot to offer. Good luck and thanks for sharing your videos! 😍👍

Every place in the PI looks good when the sun is shining.

grabe ka nice! this video.

My 20-minute viewing schedule stretched into an hour - and I didn't notice! Well done, Michael. Dr Clay Lifto

Wow. Excellent vlog. Amazing scenery and friendly people.

ahoy full speed ahead...enjoy scenery mike...

Nice Video, you did fantastic job Michael, there are more than 7600 islands coming up next😂😂

I love the beach and island life

Mike, Enjoyed this vlog Interesting place Nice job 👍🏼

Wow! You got some great help from the Mayors office! 23:39 Nice Boat Ride! What kind of outboard was that? 49:30 That was a really cool old building. What was that resort name 'Yaponsville'? Nice View! 1:02:48 Hear ya brother, glad you are enjoying it.....Jim

What an amazing place I need to visit for sure ! The manor and people seem so friendly thank you for sharing

Great video! Longer then usual but enjoyed it so much it didnt feel that long. The burungay island was so cool seeing the old fort and the plant roots along the wall. It was a joy to see Ajoy! Btw, if you want to try the lomi, the best lomi is in Batangas. Thanks Michael

Great trip… a definite must do. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

one of the greatest videos of the the ph islands that ive seen! thanks to you, Sir! im from Mindanao, living in Germany and im starting to know more of my home country thru you! 😘😘😘

Such a joy in AJUY❤️❤️

That place is one of the top 3 you have shown so far. 👍😎👍

Great video, great moods!

Another great vlog Michael keep pumping them out love the way you are exploring the Philippines makes for a genuine experience.

tour guide of the year nong axl ba hahaha

Great videos thank you

I went there.. it's a very beautiful place..😊

Great place

Thanks for another very informative vlog! Looks like a very nice town & the people are so hospitable. Definitely a town I want to explore. Thanks Mike!

That's true, Mike. I'm also aware that the people in these areas are pretty and goodlooking and have lighter skin and lighter eye color, somewhat like darker hazel in some, like my high school classmate from Ajuy. These towns - Concepcion, Ajuy, Barotac Viejo, Banate, San Dionisio, Sara, Carles, Estancia, Lemery. It's because people here are descendants of a mixture of Spanish and some Chinese ancestries. But there are families there, especially the elite (I know, one family was our client in the bank in IloIlo City) who have stronger Spanish blood and even speak lingua franca Spanish. Iloilo is an interesting place. Perhaps because I was born and grew up in ILOILO, sometimes I can distinguish from what town they come from just by looking at their particular kind of Spanish features.

Beautiful place fantastic resort love the island and the water and the beach. The way you film is like being there myself. The rates are very reasonable. Keep it up michael.your getting too be a pro.

Once again another good vlog, Michael keep up the good work. Where's Kat?

Awesome 👏

Another great adventure. You have an excellent way of getting people to open up and talk. Enjoyed the video. I look forward to visiting the places you go. But I don’t think I will do it solo.

Your finding some real Gems mike on your travels....living the content and length of the videos....keep up the good work and keep smiling 😊

Fascinating video. Tour

very nice municipality and the islands 👌👍

You killed it mike.. it’s Pronounced as AHOY …. :) 😅😅😅😅

Best destination blog by you Michael! For some reason I like Ahuy than Concepcion.

Adding this to our itinerary next year! 😍

Mayor Jett C.Rojas one of the Best Mayor....Asenso Ajuy♥️

it is still a long ways away, but when i am ready to come down, count me in as a traveling buddy!

Just keep on chugging. Things just flow naturally.

When you get to the North go down of la Union and bolinao patar pqngasinan you will love it

I'm new to your channel.And I'm really enjoying it. I love the way you talk about the towns you visit. The people you meet. I also enjoy exploring the smaller towns with you, but being 65 years old and not in good health I'm also interested in the Healthcare hopefully you can touch on that subject in the future videos.

Thanks!

This is cool! I find it great too that you check out more under reported spots too:) Oh and my dude you just broke 22k congrats!

Mike, it's not sorry sorry store. It's sari-sari store. Sari-sari means variety. So they sell a variety of items in a sari-sari store.

I like the way you present everything I like the way you treat everyone Thanks 😊

Wow! A rare encounter both of you! Take Care Mike! See you sometime soon! :)

My observation regarding how to pronounce place names, learn the Spanish vowel sounds, always a good logical guess, esp in the PH, but even for pronouncing unknown English words.

Looks like better construction on that old building than what they do today

I was in a city by happen stance a couple of weekends ago and honestly was the best looking woman I have seen in all my travels that I can recall in the Philippines. Malalos, Bulacan

Mike I'm sooo sorry you were not able to make it out to the islands. Yes I think the price is too high. I will be going to Iloilo around July and to Concepcion. We will be going bto the various islands and would like to invite you to come along.

freedom to do what you want, anytime. I love it!

I have enjoyed watching your vlogs I felt that I’m with you exploring exploring beautiful places in Panay island.😊😮❤❤❤

I’ve been to Hilltop. Nice place.

Always go with a group, be safe Sir!

Now that’s more like it Michael. Laid back lifestyle friendly people. It’s beautiful beaches and water. How close is it to shopping and hospitals?

also, the guard post !! It's like something out of Lord of the Rings !! Magnificent!

Only Mike can get this kind of reception Unplan, I hope you can bring those Investors . Let's go fam bam!

its kinda cool you can just walk in to the municipal hall and say hi to the mayor whom youve never met in your entire life lol

Good morning new sub here im glad to see your vlog featuring in iloilo place keep on vlogging and enjoyed your stay in Philippines.❤👍😊

Michael, you should be designated as the highest tourism officer in the Visayas!!! 🥰🥰🥰

You lucky duck coffe is not allowed to me.. have one on me. Be healthy and happy.

Shout out from Brampton ontario Canada 😅

The Cpaitana's shirt matches your ball cap (Converse)

Because their not Liberated like the west, Talking Females, From Body to Mind, Philippines # 1 for Beauty Body to Soul, Men and Women, Strong Religion plays a big factor, These people still carry Morels and Values of Gods Creation, Amen and Salute to the people of the Philippines 🫡🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭, They do take advantage of a foreigners pockets regardless he he mist be smart and shop like a Filipino, Belus

When I look at old buildings like these, I think about the people roaming the building. In the case of this building, I can see the guards that have their orders. Then I also think about my own mortality, they had their time in this world and now I’m here in the 4th quarter of my life. That’s one reason I’m a retire in the PHILIPPINES

Winnipeg says hi.

That what we 're missing here, the fresh brewed coffee unli same as unli rice.

Good luck with the brewed coffee. I more easily find "brewed" cocoa.

Makes me want to retire there in Ajuy.

Another nice looking place 😊

Michael, Were you able to see Mr. and Mrs.Blair in Oton, Metro Ilollo? They have a beautiful house, Blair House, beside rhe highway to Tigbauan municipality. Across the street is a beach. The Blairs are from England.

you can just walk around in town with a camera and meet the mayor. okay now this was cool.
