Thanks for rge tour. It made me miss being in the Philippines. I'll be retiring there and still be working as soon as they open up traveling again. God blees the wonderful people of the Philippines.

That is a real life with peace and tranquility. Mam o man your place is like heaven! Amen to that

[daviddarden]

Wow, very dreamy house. We as Americans and the other foreigners are so blessed to be able to live in a place like the Philippines and retire there too. Seeing stories like this continues to motivate to make a move there again in four (4) years to retire. From US American Air Force Security Police Military Veteran who was station at Clark Air Base (Angeles), Philippines right before Mount Pinatubo volcano explosion in 1991.

I'm falling in love with the Philippines and its potential

Private homes in the Philippines seldom have insulation. If available it is usually expensive. Insulation is suggested not to keep cold out but to ease the heat from creeping in. One house we stayed has metal roof, ample room for the attic but gets to 90's by 9:00AM, needed attic ventilation. I had a smalll house built and to cut down A/C bills, I had insulation between walls with RICE HULLS!!! I had to mix it with 10% Borax by weight. This assures me being fire retardant and insect(Roach and ants) repellent.

whoa, i'll sell my car and buy a house like that in the PH, leave the maddening rat race here in the US, and live the simple life

Mine was a bit more...as it's quite large and near a city-center, but it's got a similar open floor plan/industrial style. Nicely done!

That is the cutest house. What a lucky family. In New York State home ownership, where starts at 350, 000. I would love this exact house, its the cutest thing, 23, 000 for an entire house is mind blowing.

[UrbanSipfly]

$23, 000? Wow, what a gorgeous house 🏠!!

It boggles my mind what one can purchase around the world 🌎 in comparison to the living expense here in America!

Very proud to say, I’ve made it to Bindoy. Love these concrete houses and the view of the sugar cane.This is just beautiful.

Nice place, price sounds about right, I Built a 3 bedroom, 2 Bathroom rancher, cost about PHP 3 million including the Hollow Block wall around the house. We used local builders and had no issues with the build, and we're still deciding what color of paint for the walls, trying to find a place that mixes paint to get the color we want.

Very similar (although modernly) updated to the house of the parents of my then Panamanian girlfriend. 30 years ago. I like this place and I'm happy to see people being blessed.

The only thing I would add is roof guards so that the roof doesn't peel during strong typhoon winds. Look's great though!

[kidguard]

The wife and I will be building a new home in monkayo in about a year hopefully we will have good luck with our builder.

[KrissBartlett]

Ned i had no problems with the house we built last year we pulled the old one down and built on the same spot but bigger new house

[GTRNights]

Seems pretty nice but I'm confused that the bedroom is up in a loft, considering that heat rises and that ceiling is going to channel all the heat up, and the AC will fill the bottom of the house, further driving the heat up. I didn't see any ventilation up there either. I guess if you're used to sleeping in 90 degree heat, but that's not for me.

[HavenVilla]

Very nicely done. I like the simple design. High ceilings will keep the house cool. Looks very spacious inside. All it needs now is that luck of paint. Great job.

[andrecureton]

I'm loving the loft area of the house this is how i want my house built in the Philippines

[markbrave]

My fiancée is from lapu lapu in Cebu
