What $500 a Month in Philippines Gets You | HOUSE HUNT 🇵🇭
The Philippines is a relatively affordable country in comparison to the US. In this video, I search Bohol, Philippines for the best quality rooms for the most affordable price. The Philippines is known for beautiful Filipino islands like the one you see here in Bohol, Philippines. Thank you for watching!
