story is so well-mannered--said "excuse me" when she wanted to say something while her parents were talking

You're not really in Butuan City but in the Municipality of Buenavista, Agusan del Norte. It's a sleepy town next to Butuan if you're travelling towards Cagayan de Oro City or Bukidnon.

Its very commom in the Philippines a tropical country that is, there no hot shower in every household. But in case we need it in some instance, we just boil water & mix with the tap water. Nice to see you are adopting a rural life with your beautiful family. I love how Poppy grow into adorable dog under your TLC. ( tender loving care)

I really love the simplicity of this family. You don't only show the beautiful places of the country but also "the other side" and show the simplicity of life of the people around you. I appreciate this kind of vlogs. Thank you. God bless your family and always stay safe.

In Siargao most of the hotels even the budget ones do have hot shower because it is a tourist destination. They know that tourists look for that. Filipinos like to bath using cold water, the normal temperature form the tap that is the reason why most of the hotels that you say you have been to don't have hot water. But five star hotels in the big cities have complete amenities for the guests. If you guys want to live in a nice beach environment that is peaceful, just like the place you have in Siargao, try Bantayan or Malapascua in CEBU, without a doubt, you will love it there.

We checked in there last December for 3 days. The owner speaks good American English and good bisaya. By the way, I am glad that you are coming back to Iligan. I hope you can visit the Timoga spring pools.

Cold showers does a lot of health benefits! Hard to adjust whenever i went to philippines, but after getting used to it, i started doing it when i came back to vancouver!

Thank you for featuring parts of Mindanao that are not really shown a lot and showing that it's safe. Love how Poppy and Story are growing up so well 🥰🥰🥰

Oh my Goood, that place is like 10mins away from where I liveeee 🥺❤️ welcome to mainland mindanao 🤟🎉

I never used to appreciate growing up outside the city but I'm now looking at it differently.

You are so blessed to find all the places you are having to move to and I believe the symbol on the door is the Christian sign of the fish so you are in a blessed place ❤️

Great video ♥.. Story and poppy are very cute😊. yes most Filipinos don't have showers even. They wash from a large bucket using a scoop. It's too warm for hot showers really. But if the weather is miserable you do miss a warm shower.

Wow 2 videos today. Thank you soo much excited.

Thank u for loving puppy like a fur baby too

Take a breather… its good to see all of you that smiles… stay healthy and safe always. Kisses to story and hugs to poppy… enjoy!!!

Good evening everyone Mabuhay watching from California USA 🇺🇸 🇵🇭

Jay and Sacha, you have done the right thing! I wouldn't want to stay in a hotel had I have the same experience as you. I hope you enjoy your stay in your apartment :)

Yeah...in the Philippines since it's a tropical country people prefer to shower cold..we rarely have a cold climate that's why we don't usually use heater except in Baguio City they need heater coz its really cold there, but heater now a days is really affordable it's just its really no use for us except in December which is cold but we can just boil water if we need to..

Actually you were staying in Cebrian's Transient House ,few blocks from where I live here in Buenavista,Agusan del Norte.It's not in Butuan City. Hope to see you guys.Just one of your vlog viewer.Have a nice and safe trip to Iligan City ,as you mentioned.

It'a so good to see that you are open to experiencing different ways of living here in the Philippines. From, of course, your beautiful island life, to 5 star resorts, to basic accomodations up in the mountains or deep in the jungle 😊 And a few times, like now, cozy airbnbs in the city. All part of your very adventurous life. Thank you for taking me to places I've never been to. I'm lovin going on small journeys, and adventures with you. Stay safe and well, you four 💕

That's a nice place and affordable, it's good to see you check other places aside from very expensive life in Siargao

Story is big now so pretty and smart and adorable kid..enjoy eating champorado so yummy

Wherever you are, hope you are always safe and happy.

Happy to know that your in Butuan thats our place .

There's a nice place for you to stay where you can't xperience typhoon this is the Western Mindanao. There's a lot of nice beaches there. Visit also Dipolog city and Dapitan city. Dapitan city is where our national hero was exiled and there's also white beach there called Dakak. Stay safe always. God bless

Hope you try to live a cosmopolitan life in Cagayan de Oro City, the City of Golden Friendship. Its just a hundred miles from Butuan. I can assure you that you will enjoy there.

Glad you guys are enjoying. Buenavista is not part of Butuan City 🙂 enjoy your trip to iligan city. Safe trip 🙂

Missing your vlogs been waiting for this, have a nice time 8 miles fam, enjoy Mindanao.

I've seen studies that cold showers is better with your body than hot showers. I can't tolerate cold showers esp during cold weather...lol

Poppy is really grown up now😊

Enjoy traveling to other places in Mindanao province. Can't wait to see the next vlog.😍

When i visited butuan the sun doesn't come out and the cloud always threaten to pour out rain but it doesn't. Since your. In butuan you can visit places like sarangani, cateel and the pineapple plantation in bukidnon.

Beautiful scenery. It changed my perspective regarding Mindanao. It made me want to visit that place soon..

THANK YOU El-haj fam for the new upload! been waiting for your updates. Godbless! :)

Haven’t been to Butuan. I would love to visit that place.

Cagayan de oro city is the best city near siargao. There is also alot of quite place to spend too

yes new video love your vlogs so much

Hi eight miles , always with you in your tours .. Excited to watch where's next 🤔😅

I'm so please watching you guys, I can't follow you most of the time, but everytime your vedeo pass in my scroll so so great to watch you all those excellent and worst experiences in your journeys. Love you and God bless you!!!

Great choice ! So glad you moved. Many blessings. ❤️🙏

I would suggest you also consider living in Bukidnon especially in the town of Maramag(my hometown). As a Vegan family of yours, Maramag is one of the best place to live in Mindanao as the town provides a lot of fresh produce with very affordable price which i can assure you will enjoy. And before i forget, we also have the cleanest public market in the Philippines.😁😉

Glad to see you all doing well and safe!
