Expats Celebrating America’s Birthday in Iloilo City 🇺🇸🇵🇭

Join QUEEN NENEPUT and the family as we celebrate the 250th American Independence Day and Philippine Friendship Day in beautiful Iloilo City! 🇺🇸🇵🇭 In this vlog, we navigate the narrow roads of Santa Clarita to join the festivities sponsored by the American Philippines Association of Western Visayas. We meet up with fellow expats and locals to enjoy a day filled with great food, live music, and community spirit. Highlights of this video: Community & Culture: An interview with Kiharu from Haru Farm about regenerative agriculture and the "Slow Food" movement in the Philippines. Expat Life: Heartfelt conversations with expats who have made the Philippines their home, sharing their stories of why they love living here. Local Travel: Our first experience using the Grab app in Iloilo and a scenic bus ride back to Aklan. Family Fun: Watch little Neneput enjoy some mango ice cream and see how we handle the tropical heat! Iloilo City is truly a "middle class country" gem with beautiful architecture, loving people, and some of the best beaches in the world. Whether you're an expat, a local, or someone dreaming of moving to the Philippines, this video captures the vibrant life and friendship between our two nations.
