From PITX To Batangas Port… This Was More Than Just A Trip… It Turned Into A MissionAdded:
Goodbye to Manila for now.
>> Yeah, >> for now. Well, we're leaving out right now. I'm about to leave soon. [music] The province officially begins now right here at Fagalog. This is >> Kamatong. [music] So guys, we're on the way back to the province and this is the bus out.
I don't know. My voice is maybe macho here or I'm a girl. So, [laughter] cuz whenever I say something.
>> Yeah. Kay has the the deep uh what do you call it?
>> I'm a singer. Deep >> the deep filter on.
[laughter] >> She can't help it.
>> I'm a girl. I'm not gay.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm not not yet a woman. All right. So, this is it to saying goodbye to Manila for now.
>> Yeah.
>> For now. Well, for good. We're not going to live here again. That's what we got to say. Of course, we're going to come stay like to travel out, go to different countries, maybe explore certain things here, but as far as living, never again.
>> Wow. And then I move back to >> No, no, no, no, no, no. I I came back here with a plan. My plan, see, when I came to Manila, my plan was to get three Airbnbs. I couldn't do that because I got a bad deal with a person. We >> Yeah, we got the wrong place. We got the wrong property and also the wrong person, too.
>> Yeah, >> we got the wrong person in the wrong property because say if I was selling, I would say I would know everything about the place. So, okay. Yeah, you don't want to I don't want to put put them in that tower because it's not ready. Isn't that ready? She [music] didn't know that. So, she put us in that tower. No, she just wouldn't have a sale.
>> Yeah, she wanted to have a sale and she did anything she could do to get a sale.
We wanted three units. We only got two.
[music] We wanted three.
She fumbled that because playing [music] around, right? And also, we thought the unit would be ready. We could move right in. We [music] couldn't because she took the money and spent our money. So, we couldn't get the the the three units. We only got to long big nightmare. My cousin got robbed pretty much and that was the whole point of coming back to Manila because we were going to have an [music] extra business. It made no sense being there.
>> The place is okay though.
>> The place is okay. It's >> too far.
>> It's okay. We couldn't get fast internet. We [music] tried. Internet wasn't working. And so >> as we as as as we were a traveler, [music] if you're going to have a Airbnb, you need to make sure the top top priority is the internet cuz people right now is online all the time, you know.
>> Yeah.
>> That's when your your advantage like I have like 500 speed internet or 3DS [music] internet.
>> And to be honest with you, I don't know how we before we dealt with 50 because you remember the speeds with 50 before.
I'm sure some of you guys remember. And >> yeah, but no, that was the speeds before. They were low like around 30 and I [music] was fine with it. But then takes two hours >> if I use that now. Yeah, it takes long to upload a video. But [music] we dealt with it. But I remember back in the day using dollars when say if I told to upload a [music] video, it would take 20 hours. But now it's fast and we're used to that. Plus, like you said, a lot of people are working at home >> and also even the a lot of there's a lot of bloggers now. A lot of people want to take videos and upload and when you go around and you go home, you want to have a fast internet if you cannot even open Facebook and you know browse long time watch videos and no sense of you having an Airbnb.
>> Yes. No sense.
>> What's the purpose of staying in Airbnb if if you are at home and you have a better internet, you know?
>> Mhm. So we decided to cancel it and we're waiting for almost a year now. We have uh people who are helping us like uh legal team helping us to get our 80% of what we paid for for the two units.
>> Mhm.
>> And >> the good thing when we go back to the province, we have land that we're selling which is going to uh net us it's it's it's not much like around 600,000.
It's just 200 square m. We're going to take that and then we're going to b buy one of the private zones with that and then from there after that we're going to get a farm. So you guys get to be with us on that journey. So yeah, that's what we're doing.
Another plan was to find a business to put a physical business location, but I don't think that's going to happen because [music] the locations weren't good. So, they're looking to bring a SM uh grocery store out there. Do want to get involved in that, but that may be 2 3 years from now. And 2 3 years from now, Jesus [music] may be here. So, I don't want to, you know, wish and hope on that.
[music] Stay tuned. A lot of excitement coming. And yeah, >> we getting ready to go to see the building Chinese condominium and we stay here before. This is uh Ayala uh Manila Bay. We just came from Manila Bay. Ayala Manila Bay cuz the bus station is Paranyak. It >> is Paranyak. Okay.
>> But we leaving out right now about to leave soon.

And Jay is there. We went here after the palenke cuz the palenke has a cheaper vegetable, but it's just too hot.
All three supermarkets in this town.
See, the province we're in is Kalapon.
You can Google it on the map and see. It has quite a bit of things. Not not quite like vanilla, but it has everything in here. So, they got the tortilla chips.
They got the single Mr. Pringle pretty anything you can think about.
If you want your meat, everything is here.
So, usually I get something. I get some [music] nuts, but I'm on a diet, so I'm not getting any nuts now. But anything you can think of that your heart desires, they have out here in Kalapon and pretty much all over the Philippines.
But you can live in a province that's in the middle of nowhere. Then you won't find anything. But over there where I found everything I need and that's good to go. Thank you for watching this video.
