Hey Jay, it’s called maturity. You are a lucky man to find your place and partner in this world. A lot of others never get that peace of mind and heart. A lot of us military veterans have gone through two or three marriages only to end up old, feeling useless and used up. Everyone has skinken thinken that it’s all about money. Or that you saved her family, but it’s really the fact that someone saw something or someone who still had worth as a human being. We didn’t save anyone, they filled a void in our miserable existence and gave us a purpose in life.
Man, some messages need a faster response. This is one. You hit the nail on the head. It's a rough world out there and you said it perfectly. Yes, she definitely filled my void and I didn't need more years of bs to figure that out. I got a daughter again and darn good wife. You take care Mr.Fred. hope you stick around. Thank you! Jay
yeah! 33 as a filipina is old.. should have her own family already...especially having no boyfriend before? in my opinion, she's desperate to have one at that age and she just wanted you because you're her type of a guy not just because you're a foreigner as many foreigners think of every filipina "needing" a foreigner to change her life...
"Be careful..., be prepared..., learn and better know what you are going for..." Frank, straightforward and candid words of wisdom indeed, from one has truly matured through time, and had the coveted fruits of life's experiences, after so many cycles of seasons with what life has to offer to anyone one who's searching and looking. You are truly a fortunate and a real changed man!
Jay, if I may say so, I’ve heard a lot of foreigners speaking about the Philippines but you are awesome man. You are. Great speaker. You have a gift. Good luck to you and Kudos to you my man.
Any foreigners going in any country, just respect the people and the country. Do not change the country or the people, it’s you, will have change. Then you can enjoy , anywhere in the world that you want to visit or experience. Do not under estimate the people or the country. Just learn the way they lived, if it’s not for you, then go somewhere else. Until you find what you like in life.
Hello. I admire you being straight-forward and honesty. To be honest, mosy Filipinas are very good i. taking good care of their husband amd kids specially when you treat them nice amd respect them. Because that's the culture. But of course not all. You can still find otherwomen who are not. If got one nice filipina woman, you are lucky. Filipinos are family-oriented. Filipinos can still be happy, smile and laugh despite the hardships in life. You are a real man. I salute you for taking your responsibility coz most men just leave their women once they got impregnated. They vanish right away. You will be blessed for doing the right thing. God always gives back to us according to what we have done. Good begets good. Evil begets evil. More power in your channel and new family! 🙂🙏🏻❤️ Life is short so just live, laugh and love. ❤️
Crypto Girl thank you! One of my favorite comments I have read. thank you truly. it means alot to hear positive feedback along with wisdome. hope you are well out there and hope to hear more from you. take care, jay
This is true jay. In our culture respect is important treat her well and she eill do the same snd do more tgan what is expected.filipinas always do sacrifices to save the family.fsmily is valuable to them and their husband snd children.
Jay, just out of the blue I stumbled across your channel and this video. I appreciate your openness and honesty. I'm glad you have found your way in a path forward. I look forward to hearing more from you as I start pouring through your channel.
Hey Jay! Thanks for telling us your story. I know the controversial topics get more views, but these type of videos really help the guys who are interested in traveling to the Philippines. It's not all peaches and cream or roses and chocolate over there. They have to do their homework and go over there in the right state of mind.
I know it, im going to stay in my lane for the first year and see where we are. lol I am really about building a network over the next few years. rather have that than large channel. I think the builds and back and forth living has its own audience. I see a path finally for all this. appreciate you!
Hello, I got interested when I read the title of your video! Your true to life story is unique and special. It truly warmed my heart. Sharing what you've experienced and how God has grown you can help you embrace His work in your own life. I wish you all the best. Good luck, good health, God bless you and your new family in the Philippines! New subscriber here!👋
@@jaysphilippines It's my pleasure. May your new adventure be filled with happiness, growth, and success. Wishing you and your new family all the best as you explore new horizons.
Just hit the subscribe button. I salute you being honest and a responsible person. This Filipina wife will take care of you the rest of your life. Filipinas are religious and very family oriented. Congrats and enjoy your young family. Life is too short. Just be happy around close friends and family and live a simple life. Wishing you the best in life and live happily ever after.
I do try to keep this honest and real. Life is so very short. Trying to keep family close and live a simple quiet life. Appreciate your words. Means a lot. Thank you. Jay
My husband came here after we have been talking on the phone, doing video calls 2-3 hours a day for 5 months. We got married 2 weeks after he landed in Manila from the States. Best decision I've ever made. I've been in a long term relationship in the past but it didn't work out. This one just took me less than 6months before getting married. I'm a working professional in PH too. My husband has been the best. He is sweet, caring, and hardworking. I couldn't ask for more and we'll have our 1st anniversary as husband and wife soon. ❤
Whether the Philippines or America -- a good motivational perspective of how to get out of a rut and get your life refocused. Your experience shows that life has a lot more texture to it if you look around and really explore and understand how you fit in your world, and how others fit in relation to you.
@@jaysphilippines LOL! I was just summarizing the message as I understood it from your video, and observing that it was a good perspective. DUDE! You have become your father! 😄
Nice. Wish I could give multiple likes. Good to hear someone being real and honest while being entertaining. Better to hear my own thoughts and experiences validated. I visited the Philippines for the first time last month and Dumaguete/Valencia area was my first stop. I planned to go to other islands from there but I ended up staying there the whole time. Somewhat due to the area ticking every box on my list, but mostly due to meeting the most wonderful people I've met in a long time and not wanting to leave them. Coming back in July for another three weeks and then again in the beginning of 2025. Unless I missed something critically wrong in my initial impressions, or the world implodes, I'll retire there. Thanks for the video.
I'll be back in June July myself for a bit. Man, I appreciate comments like this very much. I knew a week into dumaguete I was set mentally. Nothing is easy, but I knew this was the place. Glad you found it also, alot of people steering people away, lol. Good for you! Jay
Thank you for honesty, I'm 46 now, and I'm going through what you went through before you went to the Philippines. When my baby boy turns 18 in 4 years. I'm coming over
As a man from the Island of St Kitts and Nevis, I live in Cebu and with my Filipina family and a son. Honestly your story hugely connected to mine. Thanks for the production.
Just subscribed to your channel. Love your honesty and candidness. Your videos are such an inspiration for me to plan my move back to the Philippines in the near future. Wishing you and your family all the very best.
Good honest video man I totally understand you have goals and aspirations to make life better for yourself and your family keep the videos coming and God bless you all.
hey there Mr. Peter, good to hear from you. I appreciate that very much. It is good when you can find focus, its not always easy. God bless you and yours also!! take care talk again soon. jay
Hi Jay, I am a Filipina from the Island of Cebu and Lanao who moved to Pampanga 3 years ago. I love how realistic, genuine, and chill your videos are. It made me reconsider dating again after being single for many years. It's nice to know the point of view of a foreign man trying his luck in the Philippines and how it changed you as an individual. As a Filipina myself, dating here is hard and so is marriage there's no divorce here. You and your wife are so lucky that you have found each other's arms. I just wish I could be as lucky as you guys to find someone who is honest, practical, and responsible. I'm subscribing to your channel for your honesty and unfiltered opinions and experiences you have! May God bless you and your family.
Awww, thank you. 😊 I appreciate that. Don't give up on dating. Got to take chances. I understand it is hard. I know how hard it is for girls in the Philippines. Please be safe, thank for following. Hope to hear more from you. Take care, jay
Take care of her and your little daughter, Sir Jay! Nurture with love, good values and happiness and bring her closer to our Lord God Almighty in that way she will have a good foundation. One day maybe that daughter of yours will give honors both countries that she will represent. Being a good citizen already is a great honor to both parents and family to God most specially.
What changes in your life that the beautiful Philippines influence you for the better? A lot of American tourists are in the country right now. You appreciate simple pleasures that cannot be bought by money.
Having a baby when I did saved me from endless random dating, wasting flights and destinations that will mean nothing. Philippines got me focused on my and her family, growing and appreciating time together with those you love. focused on future for our girl. instead of what Jay" wants and needs. Im good with little.
Hi jay im your new subs. because of your content for being real to your story not pretentious. Always keep content real for better information. To be honest i thought this was another vlog saying how great to in Philippines just to have views or subs. actually most of filipino is done with those kind of content. But your video today hits different😅 thats why i hit the subs button👍
Nice watching your video and story .being a filipina all i can say is that take out your pride not all same filipina are taking for granted .youre lucky enough that filipina preseved her virginty for the rigth men whom she spend rest of her life ..and i think tru the discipline of her paretns..she has good upbringing...any way youre now enjoy living in our country Philippines with your daughter & wife.....God Bless ..
I don't see my previous message. Sorry, I wrote you back yesterday. Absolutely agree, God has been blessing me for awhile, sometimes you don't always notice it at first. He has been introducing new people and showing me which direction to go lately. Appreciate you 🙏. Take care. Jay
You are very welcome Jay. I can relate. I have 2 little FilAm kids and just love getting to be a Dad for a 2nd time round as my other American sons are grown now. You can see in your videos what a special bond and love you have with your daughter. Gonna retire around Dumaguete in less than 3 years…can’t wait. We will see you guys around sometime. Take care. Keep up the TH-cam. Your kinda like the white Sunshine Shoulders TH-camr (in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental) good chat talk videos advice etc. Take care.
If only people include God in their lives. . . which if not all but most of us, Filipinos do. I'm glad that you finally get in-touched with your inner self, Jay with the instrumentality of your baby and your Filipina wife. Living life can truly have a difference then. It takes a personal encounter with this God, the Creator of the universe and all in it anyway.
Hey Jay, new subscriber here. Glad I found your channel. I've dated foreign guys before. Nice to hear someone here creatin vids like this. Appreciate your honest thoughts and comments. Good luck to your family and your journey. Mabuhay! ❤
You change yourself, not the Philippines. You got your brain to think about what is wrong and right. No matter what country you choose to live in, it's still you who change your life. Don't blame the country...
Hey Jay! Glad to see ur honesty! And ur from Dramagetea, where's there's a vlogger on every corner! Way too many, most of the time I won't listen to vlogger from there! In fact when u said from Dramagetea, I almost left but glad I didn't. I appreciate ur honestly! Wish u the best in the future! I'll catch another video b4 I subscribe.
Hey, thanks Bradley! 😊 we a family channel. Appreciate your comments, I really do. Hope to see you again. We going to be a Long term channel, family and business raising daughter stuff. Hope your doing well, take care. Jay
@jaysphilippines hey Jay, thanks for replying! That means lots to me and I'll be around to watch more of ur videos! Even if ur from Dramagetea! Hahaha, bless u and your family !!

Jay I'm from Louisville Kentucky but living in the Philippines 8 yrs now. 70 with 32 yr old Pinoy wife and 8 yrs old daughter life is wonderful here. In ky right now
Hey Rudolph! 👋 ky man. I haven't heard from but a few bluegrass folks. That's awesome to here. Got a 8 year old, that's great. Happy to hear from you! Stay in touch, be easy to remember you! Be safe and blessed buddy. Jay
Yes, we all commit sin, and we always will. Why you must find salvation. Through Jesus, as I did when was 19. Been a sinner all my life, and he still loves me. Be safe and blessed! ❤️ jay
Hi . At times life we want to make is not always the life we will be given by fate. It might not be planned but in the end it will be just fine. I hope you will mainly express your values about loving, marriage and valuing a relationship with the people we were led to be with. Show this in your vlogs. Nowadays here in America life of the unborn child is not valued anymore. It is the brainwashed minds of the irresponsible parents who does not respect life who decides what to do with the pregnancy. God has closed the doors in your life but opened the windows to give you bright perspectives. Your child and your wife become the path you take journey and make your life worth living. I got divorced here but I found a lady in Dumaguete i want to SPEND my life with someday. I hope to meet you Jay there in the Philippines when I visit.
Hello Sammy! 👋 great message and meaningful! Appreciate your thoughts, absolutely stay in touch, email pr join jays philippines Facebook. Let me know when your there, we will be there about 3 months this year and 4 or 5 next year. Building a house soon. Stay safe, talk soon. Jay
Hi Jay. David here in Japan. I appreciate your open, self reflection and honesty. I agree, sometimes we are just putting in time, coasting simply due to perhaps being too comfortable without working towards definite goals. Actually, I’ve been there on/off here in Japan certainly during Covid19, although now my goal is to ultimately leave Japan and relocate to the Philippines. I’m older than you, so I would say my time to ‘get a girl pregnant’ and start a new family like you is not one of my life’s goals now. My desire is to simply have a peaceful, minimalist life and like you go to the gym, eat well and experience life in the tropics. I mentioned before I do happen to have a strong interest in building science (studying it for several years) and house construction, so would be interested in meeting you and discussing the option of working together in the not-too-distant future. Just one idea I have.
absolutely buddy, I'd like that very much. I am working on three trips over there this year and more for next year. we can discuss that anytime when your ready. I appreciate the comments. its getting easier to just be myself.. your goals are not hard to achieve in the philippines, i think the minimalist life there is pretty much all around as thats how most live there. I could see it myself at some point. I don't need much. love to talk more about it. feel free to reach out. take care and good to hear from you again. jay
@@jaysphilippines Good morning Jay. We’re almost in the same time zone. I’m just 1 hour ahead in Japan. [I’ll admit, I wasn’t thinking - you’re back in Kentucky now]. Yes, being genuine, expressing our true character, personality, etc. is really freeing - and what I’ve really come to appreciate more especially in Japan where conforming is highly encouraged in a very rule-based, generally repressed society. Anyway, on a much lighter, practical note, sure let’s consider perhaps teaming up in the future if we have similar goals, work ethic and vision of what we wish to provide. I’m a former Chemist, Environmental Engineer and like you Health Care professional, so I value quality and sustainability and predominantly using natural materials. Plus design suitable to the climate. My focus here in Japan over the past 2 years has been to complete renovations myself on my 70+ year old traditional post and beam home in preparation to sell and move the Philippines. As fate had it, I’ll be staying here at least another 1-3 years. I was fortunate to build a relationship with an architect here who helped me a lot with Japanese design and traditional construction. As far as embracing a minimalist lifestyle, I’ve learned ‘less’ is often ‘more’. Just a reminder, I’m the guy who asked you about the availability of quality tools there. I expect you’ll remember. I’m contemplating my first trip to Negros Oriental in December/January. Yah, from what I’ve seen the market is ripe for opportunity there.
@@ShikokuFoodForest well, sounds like I'd be a fool not wanting to learn things from you. So, that all sounds great. I would love to hear more and listen from your experiences. The main thing for me is taking it all in, the Philippines is big part of my life and got so much to take in and learn on this last chapter. Surrounding myself with knowledgeable and quality friends is a big goal of mine. Would be exciting to meet up soon. When we can, 1-4 years isn't far in my mind. I'll be making 2-3 trips over this year, working on channel.
Mr.Rob, might be my new favorite subscriber. Lol 😆 looks like you been watching a few videos today. Appreciate you!! Glad to hear from you. I'm sure we will talk more. Jay
Sure! Good your video pop up. Good to know your family!🙏 We are a little bit different finding wife..me I found my wife in California...she's a nurse. But me working in middle east at this time...most probably we will endup back and forth Philippines n USA😆
You gotta have to understand that virgin in your country is different than a virgin in the Philippines. She is not a virgin in her old age because she is ugly or shes got something wrong with her. She is a virgin because she preserved herself for that special person and is brought up with good morals and been taught traditionally that you only give yourself to that one person who you want to marry or after your wedding. We dont sleep around because we value ourselves. Unlike women in Western countries that you just go to clubbing and have one night stands. We dont do that, well, i have never done that. And i am sure most Filipinas are not like that. I am not sure nowadays what they are like. But just be careful. Do not take them to bed without an intention to take them seriously. Those days a lot of women are so naive and innocent. They think if some foreigners show them interest they already think they are interested to marry them. I came from the province of Cebu and during the 80’s to 2000’s no foreigners have been to south of cebu except if theyre married to a Filipina. But now you can see a lot of them. So i think girls nowadays know more and modernised to think the same mentality as we were back then. Living in the UK for 21 years, i know more now and i wish i know back then what i knew now.
Wow, very wise words and understanding. I met several woman in short period of time. I was impressed how many woman where very traditional and "good girls". Very good manners, very polite, well spoken and cautious. It was very good experience. I didn't need years of dating to find her, thankfully. Thank you, jay. Thanks for wonderful comment!!
I agree, women even men don’t sleep around in the Philippines since it’s a very conservative country and you’ll be labeled as sl*t and f*ckboy if you do that and people will look down on you. One reason why abortion and divorce is not legal in the country ‘cause we value family and commitment a lot. But the sad thing is hookup culture is slowly infiltrating the country due to the western influence.
Americans going to Philippines ,take your time,watch a lot of vblogs by Americans , leave your Americans attitude , embrace the culture , do not change then learn them and culture
yes, you have to come ready for change and living a new life. it doesnt work well with old habits and thoughts. got to reinvent yourself. thank you, jay
Dear Jay, Thank you so much for the reply. I enjoyed the content and could feel the heart as you wrote. I am stuck in America for a while with some medical problems, but my one hope is to return to the place I call home. Yes, I would enjoy coffee, tea or whatever with you, perhaps even a meal out. I have been watching the American presents in the Philippines close to Manila. Somewhere in Manila there is supposed to be medical facility where some former American service members can go the be treated by Tricare. And my understanding is that the government of the Philippines has asked America to have a greater presence in the area. I am unsure exactly when I can return there, but my daughters are ready to take me anytime to go home. Please keep me posted on your new vlogs as I have subscribed to your channel. God Bless and stay safe in his hands. Fred
Hey Mr.Fred. big Huggs buddy. Absolutely we get a meal. Love to talk with you! I'll pray for your problems to heal enough so you can get to where you want to go and if we can can, get healed. Glad you got some family able to help, so important and happy you got that. I ain't going to forget you. Stay in touch and let's figure something out and keep me up to date on yourself. Be safe and blessed my friend!! Jay Idelyn Kieri
Great story budd. I hear you!! As I said before, I’m a pure filipino but, been here in the states for so many years & travelled around Asian countries as a musician. Been there, done that. Been divorced 2x to a western girls and had enough of that so, moved back in the Philippines in 2011 & met a Filipina girl and ended up marrying her, got pregnant & now we have 2 children’s together 5 & 11 years old. I didn’t have my family here with me but, I do go back yearly. Next month may 23rd my last day here in the states & head back home to be with them for good. I’ve been watching your videos and you have a very beautiful family. BEAUTIFUL WIFE & ADORABLE LITTLE ONE. I really missed Philippines specially, my family. As a Filipino/American, we welcome you & all filipinos loved you & your family. God bless and take. 🇺🇸🇵🇭
You got a great story, love to hear more about that sometime. I truly feel blessed to have a whole other life in philippines that is truly just beginning. I am grateful for your comment, it really hits the heart when you hear those words. I appreciate you brother and god bless your trips and navigating your journey. Thank you , JAY
@@michaelwilson9716 you can't fault them for that, especially if it's genuine. Could really miss out on the one who desired you for the one who would be content with anyone. I seen many, they would marry whatever came along.
Hello Robert. We will make a video in May in lots of detail. But simply, first arrived in cebu. Moved to a condo right next door to IT park, called laguardia place. Met her on ok cupid I think it was. Met for coffee a few times. She was working right around the corner at a call center in IT park. It would be fairly easy for anyone to come and stay near the business areas and find them a relationship pretty quick. Some want to date alot first. I had no choice as she got pregnant. So. My dating life didn't last all that long. That was 6 years ago. Thanks for asking. Jay
When looking for Respectable Future Wives in the Philippines..Don't go the Hooker Streets, Red Strips!-- i stead HANG AROUND CALL CENTER BUSINESSES! PINAY GIRLS THERE ARE COLLEGE SCHOOLED GRADS, GOOD ENGLISH SPEAKER AND OVER-THE-HEELS- SUPER ROMANTIC!! GO FOR THAT MIDDLE CLASS FILIPINA!❤
Jay, man I have never seen you before but your words really speak to me. THANK YOU!!!! You and I are different folk & I know I will be better equipped for food & certain other issues than most fellows, but heat & humidity will take me probably 3 months to get semi-used to it. I am really glad you made the decision to stay with that woman. It sounds like you made a great decision and got a wonderful woman. I hope to see more of you.
Next one coming real soon! Lol man, I appreciate comments like this. I can feel the sincerity in them. It may take some time with the heat. But overall health will improve. I am glad we stayed together also. Not been easy. Hope we can talk more sometime. Be safe my friend!
@@jaysphilippines I sometimes mimic the recorded voices of telephone companies when you make a call and no one is answering telling you to leave a message like "the number you're trying to reach is no longer in service please check the number and dial again" or "hello.. the number you're trying to reach is not able to take your call right now.... if you would like to leave a message press 1 if you would like to erase and re record press 2 or just simply hang up...goodbye!' I do like voice overs too... But I have never done it in any setting. 😊
Being Filipina myself, I would definitely agree that there a lot of women in my country who are desperately desire foreigners for a husband. Regardless of, I can say, majority have good intentions and are potential life partner because culturally, Asian women especially South East Asia are raised to be homemakers and they get their fulfillment from being one. BUT BE EXTRA CAREFUL, few of these girls are can be "gold diggers" too, hard truth. Be wise men. I'm in my 50s, single. Been surrounded with foreigners due to work reason but I don't find most attractive and desirable despite some tried to pursue me.😬
I can relate to your story. I think most divorced western fathers can. The USA is a raw deal for having a family most of the time. I'm glad there are alternatives out there to start over with. What food did you find that you like to eat?
If im exercsing alot, a good ole roasted chicken, street vendors and a pile of white rice is pretty good. but if its just a normal day, im chickened burnt out often. thats the struggle in the philippines. there is nothing that comes to mind really thats easily obtainable if your not a local with connections. I will without a doubt have a cook in house making new things for me. but thats when your settled in, still living like a tourist has its challenges. I am not eating the pork from the shops i see. I like broth alot. but hard to get steak in duma. lol i dont think i helped you at all. its one of my hurdles to overcome there.
Hey Jay, it’s called maturity. You are a lucky man to find your place and partner in this world. A lot of others never get that peace of mind and heart.

Hello. I admire you being straight-forward and honesty. To be honest, mosy Filipinas are very good i. taking good care of their husband amd kids specially when you treat them nice amd respect them. Because that's the culture. But of course not all. You can still find otherwomen who are not. If got one nice filipina woman, you are lucky. Filipinos are family-oriented. Filipinos can still be happy, smile and laugh despite the hardships in life.

Just hit the subscribe button. I salute you being honest and a responsible person. This Filipina wife will take care of you the rest of your life. Filipinas are religious and very family oriented. Congrats and enjoy your young family. Life is too short. Just be happy around close friends and family and live a simple life. Wishing you the best in life and live happily ever after.
I do try to keep this honest and real. Life is so very short. Trying to keep family close and live a simple quiet life. Appreciate your words. Means a lot. Thank you. Jay
Your honesty is refreshing! And I hope your older kids get to meet their half sister in the Philippines!
Thank you Shibby!! 😊 appreciate you! Jay
My husband came here after we have been talking on the phone, doing video calls 2-3 hours a day for 5 months. We got married 2 weeks after he landed in Manila from the States.
Best decision I've ever made. I've been in a long term relationship in the past but it didn't work out. This one just took me less than 6months before getting married. I'm a working professional in PH too. My husband has been the best. He is sweet, caring, and hardworking. I couldn't ask for more and we'll have our 1st anniversary as husband and wife soon. ❤
Love you hun. You are the sweetest, most respectful woman I know. I’m glad I married you
❤❤❤ love you too
That makes me smile, happy for you 2. 😊 bless you both. Hope to hear more in future. Thanks, jay
Thank you for doing right by Adeline! God bless you and your young family!🙏💕
Your so welcome Yolanda! Prayers to you and your family. Jay
Whether the Philippines or America -- a good motivational perspective of how to get out of a rut and get your life refocused. Your experience shows that life has a lot more texture to it if you look around and really explore and understand how you fit in your world, and how others fit in relation to you.
Sounds like my father?! thanks, jay
@@jaysphilippines LOL! I was just summarizing the message as I understood it from your video, and observing that it was a good perspective.
DUDE! You have become your father!
😄
Nice. Wish I could give multiple likes. Good to hear someone being real and honest while being entertaining. Better to hear my own thoughts and experiences validated. I visited the Philippines for the first time last month and Dumaguete/Valencia area was my first stop. I planned to go to other islands from there but I ended up staying there the whole time. Somewhat due to the area ticking every box on my list, but mostly due to meeting the most wonderful people I've met in a long time and not wanting to leave them. Coming back in July for another three weeks and then again in the beginning of 2025. Unless I missed something critically wrong in my initial impressions, or the world implodes, I'll retire there. Thanks for the video.
I'll be back in June July myself for a bit. Man, I appreciate comments like this very much. I knew a week into dumaguete I was set mentally. Nothing is easy, but I knew this was the place. Glad you found it also, alot of people steering people away, lol. Good for you! Jay
Thank you for honesty, I'm 46 now, and I'm going through what you went through before you went to the Philippines. When my baby boy turns 18 in 4 years. I'm coming over
Hey Darrell, awesome man. 4 years ain't nothing. Be here in a flash. Stay in touch, get your butt over there and enjoy yourself!! Happy for you! Jay
It's really refreshing to hear foreigners talk about the real stuff, the experience they have in the Philippines, the good ,and the bad.
hello Art, welcome to our channel! Appreciate you support, hope to hear from you again
As a man from the Island of St Kitts and Nevis, I live in Cebu and with my Filipina family and a son. Honestly your story hugely connected to mine. Thanks for the production.
Awesome to hear! Hope your are doing well friend. jay

Hi jay im new here , im done to support you, thank you for sharing from our country Philippines 🇵🇭, be safe always,

Just subscribed to your channel. Love your honesty and candidness. Your videos are such an inspiration for me to plan my move back to the Philippines in the near future. Wishing you and your family all the very best.
Thank you! Hope you can get back soon. Hope to keep hearing from you. Stay safe and blessed. Jay
Good honest video man I totally understand you have goals and aspirations to make life better for yourself and your family keep the videos coming and God bless you all.
hey there Mr. Peter, good to hear from you. I appreciate that very much. It is good when you can find focus, its not always easy. God bless you and yours also!! take care talk again soon. jay
We all have stories and none of us are perfect. Some of us just aspires for having a decent life and some meaning. Much respect.
Thats really where i am at. just find a simple lane to stay in and relax. thanks! j
Hi Jay, I am a Filipina from the Island of Cebu and Lanao who moved to Pampanga 3 years ago. I love how realistic, genuine, and chill your videos are. It made me reconsider dating again after being single for many years. It's nice to know the point of view of a foreign man trying his luck in the Philippines and how it changed you as an individual. As a Filipina myself, dating here is hard and so is marriage there's no divorce here. You and your wife are so lucky that you have found each other's arms. I just wish I could be as lucky as you guys to find someone who is honest, practical, and responsible. I'm subscribing to your channel for your honesty and unfiltered opinions and experiences you have! May God bless you and your family.
Awww, thank you. 😊 I appreciate that. Don't give up on dating. Got to take chances. I understand it is hard. I know how hard it is for girls in the Philippines. Please be safe, thank for following. Hope to hear more from you. Take care, jay
@@jaysphilippines Thank you Sir! I will not give up haha

virginity is save for future husband... a precious gift.
Thank you! 😊 jay
Take care of her and your little daughter, Sir Jay! Nurture with love, good values and happiness and bring her closer to our Lord God Almighty in that way she will have a good foundation. One day maybe that daughter of yours will give honors both countries that she will represent. Being a good citizen already is a great honor to both parents and family to God most specially.
Absolutely 💯. Very well said. 👏 I agree very much. Thank you! Jay
@@jaysphilippines you're most welcome Sir!
amazing blogs keep blogging guys
Thank you so much, great to hear from you. Hope you are doing well. Jay
What changes in your life that the beautiful Philippines influence you for the better? A lot of American tourists are in the country right now. You appreciate simple pleasures that cannot be bought by money.
Having a baby when I did saved me from endless random dating, wasting flights and destinations that will mean nothing. Philippines got me focused on my and her family, growing and appreciating time together with those you love. focused on future for our girl. instead of what Jay" wants and needs. Im good with little.
@@jaysphilippines Correct! focus on the future of your girl as she is the one that will take care of you when the time comes! Keep up and keep going!
Hi jay im your new subs. because of your content for being real to your story not pretentious. Always keep content real for better information. To be honest i thought this was another vlog saying how great to in Philippines just to have views or subs. actually most of filipino is done with those kind of content. But your video today hits different😅 thats why i hit the subs button👍

Great video chat. Yep as they say, “God works in mysterious ways.” Advance Congrats on all your rewarding future with your Asawa & daughter.
I don't see my previous message. Sorry, I wrote you back yesterday. Absolutely agree, God has been blessing me for awhile, sometimes you don't always notice it at first. He has been introducing new people and showing me which direction to go lately. Appreciate you 🙏. Take care. Jay
You are very welcome Jay. I can relate. I have 2 little FilAm kids and just love getting to be a Dad for a 2nd time round as my other American sons are grown now. You can see in your videos what a special bond and love you have with your daughter. Gonna retire around Dumaguete in less than 3 years…can’t wait. We will see you guys around sometime. Take care. Keep up the TH-cam. Your kinda like the white Sunshine Shoulders TH-camr (in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental) good chat talk videos advice etc. Take care.

Thank you Raul!! Appreciate you 🙏. Jay
If only people include God in their lives. . . which if not all but most of us, Filipinos do. I'm glad that you finally get in-touched with your inner self, Jay with the instrumentality of your baby and your Filipina wife. Living life can truly have a difference then. It takes a personal encounter with this God, the Creator of the universe and all in it anyway.
Thank you Maria! 😊 hope you are well. Appreciate you so much. Jay
Jay, I am glad that everything worked out for you. I'm looking forward to more updates.
2 coming this week. Appreciate you!
So proud of you that you didn’t run from your responsibility as a father! God bless you!
Was lucky to be a father again. 😀 means alot to hear! Thank you! Jay

Putting God first into your life will give you direction and meaning in life. Apart from God, you will feel empty and you commit many sins.
Yes, we all commit sin, and we always will. Why you must find salvation. Through Jesus, as I did when was 19. Been a sinner all my life, and he still loves me. Be safe and blessed! ❤️ jay
Hi . At times life we want to make is not always the life we will be given by fate. It might not be planned but in the end it will be just fine. I hope you will mainly express your values about loving, marriage and valuing a relationship with the people we were led to be with. Show this in your vlogs. Nowadays here in America life of the unborn child is not valued anymore. It is the brainwashed minds of the irresponsible parents who does not respect life who decides what to do with the pregnancy. God has closed the doors in your life but opened the windows to give you bright perspectives. Your child and your wife become the path you take journey and make your life worth living. I got divorced here but I found a lady in Dumaguete i want to SPEND my life with someday. I hope to meet you Jay there in the Philippines when I visit.
Hello Sammy! 👋 great message and meaningful! Appreciate your thoughts, absolutely stay in touch, email pr join jays philippines Facebook. Let me know when your there, we will be there about 3 months this year and 4 or 5 next year. Building a house soon. Stay safe, talk soon. Jay

Mr.Tony in the house. Man, almost missed this message. It just showed up. Man, glad to have another gym dude on board!! I see ya over there. Jay
Hi Jay. David here in Japan. I appreciate your open, self reflection and honesty. I agree, sometimes we are just putting in time, coasting simply due to perhaps being too comfortable without working towards definite goals. Actually, I’ve been there on/off here in Japan certainly during Covid19, although now my goal is to ultimately leave Japan and relocate to the Philippines. I’m older than you, so I would say my time to ‘get a girl pregnant’ and start a new family like you is not one of my life’s goals now. My desire is to simply have a peaceful, minimalist life and like you go to the gym, eat well and experience life in the tropics. I mentioned before I do happen to have a strong interest in building science (studying it for several years) and house construction, so would be interested in meeting you and discussing the option of working together in the not-too-distant future. Just one idea I have.
absolutely buddy, I'd like that very much. I am working on three trips over there this year and more for next year. we can discuss that anytime when your ready. I appreciate the comments. its getting easier to just be myself.. your goals are not hard to achieve in the philippines, i think the minimalist life there is pretty much all around as thats how most live there. I could see it myself at some point. I don't need much. love to talk more about it. feel free to reach out. take care and good to hear from you again. jay
@@jaysphilippines Good morning Jay. We’re almost in the same time zone. I’m just 1 hour ahead in Japan. [I’ll admit, I wasn’t thinking - you’re back in Kentucky now]. Yes, being genuine, expressing our true character, personality, etc. is really freeing - and what I’ve really come to appreciate more especially in Japan where conforming is highly encouraged in a very rule-based, generally repressed society. Anyway, on a much lighter, practical note, sure let’s consider perhaps teaming up in the future if we have similar goals, work ethic and vision of what we wish to provide. I’m a former Chemist, Environmental Engineer and like you Health Care professional, so I value quality and sustainability and predominantly using natural materials. Plus design suitable to the climate. My focus here in Japan over the past 2 years has been to complete renovations myself on my 70+ year old traditional post and beam home in preparation to sell and move the Philippines. As fate had it, I’ll be staying here at least another 1-3 years. I was fortunate to build a relationship with an architect here who helped me a lot with Japanese design and traditional construction. As far as embracing a minimalist lifestyle, I’ve learned ‘less’ is often ‘more’. Just a reminder, I’m the guy who asked you about the availability of quality tools there. I expect you’ll remember. I’m contemplating my first trip to Negros Oriental in December/January. Yah, from what I’ve seen the market is ripe for opportunity there.
@@ShikokuFoodForest well, sounds like I'd be a fool not wanting to learn things from you. So, that all sounds great. I would love to hear more and listen from your experiences. The main thing for me is taking it all in, the Philippines is big part of my life and got so much to take in and learn on this last chapter. Surrounding myself with knowledgeable and quality friends is a big goal of mine. Would be exciting to meet up soon. When we can, 1-4 years isn't far in my mind. I'll be making 2-3 trips over this year, working on channel.
That's your fate bro, have another family....just be happy and do your thing. Good luck!👍🇵🇭🇧🇭
Mr.Rob, might be my new favorite subscriber. Lol 😆 looks like you been watching a few videos today. Appreciate you!! Glad to hear from you. I'm sure we will talk more. Jay
Sure! Good your video pop up.
Good to know your family!🙏
We are a little bit different finding wife..me I found my wife in California...she's a nurse. But me working in middle east at this time...most probably we will endup back and forth Philippines n USA😆
I find you honest and responsible Daddy of your children. Your children are lucky too to have you.
@@iamwealth8512 hello WEALTH! 👋 glad to have you here. Appreciate comments like that, truly means alot. Thank you sir! Jay
You gotta have to understand that virgin in your country is different than a virgin in the Philippines. She is not a virgin in her old age because she is ugly or shes got something wrong with her. She is a virgin because she preserved herself for that special person and is brought up with good morals and been taught traditionally that you only give yourself to that one person who you want to marry or after your wedding. We dont sleep around because we value ourselves. Unlike women in Western countries that you just go to clubbing and have one night stands. We dont do that, well, i have never done that. And i am sure most Filipinas are not like that. I am not sure nowadays what they are like. But just be careful. Do not take them to bed without an intention to take them seriously.
Those days a lot of women are so naive and innocent. They think if some foreigners show them interest they already think they are interested to marry them.
I came from the province of Cebu and during the 80’s to 2000’s no foreigners have been to south of cebu except if theyre married to a Filipina. But now you can see a lot of them. So i think girls nowadays know more and modernised to think the same mentality as we were back then. Living in the UK for 21 years, i know more now and i wish i know back then what i knew now.
Wow, very wise words and understanding. I met several woman in short period of time. I was impressed how many woman where very traditional and "good girls". Very good manners, very polite, well spoken and cautious. It was very good experience. I didn't need years of dating to find her, thankfully. Thank you, jay. Thanks for wonderful comment!!
I agree, women even men don’t sleep around in the Philippines since it’s a very conservative country and you’ll be labeled as sl*t and f*ckboy if you do that and people will look down on you. One reason why abortion and divorce is not legal in the country ‘cause we value family and commitment a lot. But the sad thing is hookup culture is slowly infiltrating the country due to the western influence.
Hey jay! Love your vids!
Hello 👋 EZPook! Glad to hear from you! 😀 Hope to hear from you more, stay safe out there. Jay
Glad i stumbled your youtube page.
Glad you found it! 😊
happiness is not what you have. Its what you become
Great point. thanks, jay
Americans going to Philippines ,take your time,watch a lot of vblogs by Americans , leave your Americans attitude , embrace the culture , do not change then learn them and culture
yes, you have to come ready for change and living a new life. it doesnt work well with old habits and thoughts. got to reinvent yourself. thank you, jay
Dear Jay, Thank you so much for the reply. I enjoyed the content and could feel the heart as you wrote. I am stuck in America for a while with some medical problems, but my one hope is to return to the place I call home. Yes, I would enjoy coffee, tea or whatever with you, perhaps even a meal out. I have been watching the American presents in the Philippines close to Manila. Somewhere in Manila there is supposed to be medical facility where some former American service members can go the be treated by Tricare. And my understanding is that the government of the Philippines has asked America to have a greater presence in the area. I am unsure exactly when I can return there, but my daughters are ready to take me anytime to go home. Please keep me posted on your new vlogs as I have subscribed to your channel. God Bless and stay safe in his hands. Fred
Hey Mr.Fred. big Huggs buddy. Absolutely we get a meal. Love to talk with you! I'll pray for your problems to heal enough so you can get to where you want to go and if we can can, get healed. Glad you got some family able to help, so important and happy you got that. I ain't going to forget you. Stay in touch and let's figure something out and keep me up to date on yourself. Be safe and blessed my friend!! Jay Idelyn Kieri
Great story budd. I hear you!! As I said before, I’m a pure filipino but, been here in the states for so many years & travelled around Asian countries as a musician. Been there, done that. Been divorced 2x to a western girls and had enough of that so, moved back in the Philippines in 2011 & met a Filipina girl and ended up marrying her, got pregnant & now we have 2 children’s together 5 & 11 years old. I didn’t have my family here with me but, I do go back yearly. Next month may 23rd my last day here in the states & head back home to be with them for good. I’ve been watching your videos and you have a very beautiful family. BEAUTIFUL WIFE & ADORABLE LITTLE ONE. I really missed Philippines specially, my family. As a Filipino/American, we welcome you & all filipinos loved you & your family. God bless and take. 🇺🇸🇵🇭
You got a great story, love to hear more about that sometime. I truly feel blessed to have a whole other life in philippines that is truly just beginning. I am grateful for your comment, it really hits the heart when you hear those words. I appreciate you brother and god bless your trips and navigating your journey. Thank you , JAY
Thank you brother you helped clear my mind about creating a future with my ldr filipina
I hope it was for the better, lol. If she is a keeper, don't let her go! 😀
@@jaysphilippines i was hesitant at first as she was the one who approached me at her work but she makes alot of. Effort so i keep interested
@@michaelwilson9716 you can't fault them for that, especially if it's genuine. Could really miss out on the one who desired you for the one who would be content with anyone. I seen many, they would marry whatever came along.
@@jaysphilippines yup. Im booked to come this june 4 cant wait
Hi Jay, how did you meet your beautiful lady? I hope u can share. Im Robert, moving to the PH shortly
Hello Robert. We will make a video in May in lots of detail. But simply, first arrived in cebu. Moved to a condo right next door to IT park, called laguardia place. Met her on ok cupid I think it was. Met for coffee a few times. She was working right around the corner at a call center in IT park. It would be fairly easy for anyone to come and stay near the business areas and find them a relationship pretty quick. Some want to date alot first. I had no choice as she got pregnant. So. My dating life didn't last all that long. That was 6 years ago. Thanks for asking. Jay
your little head got the best of you. hehehe be happy have another one too
I want 1 or 2 more. Lol
Nice interesting views
Thank you Mrussel! 😊 appreciate it very much. Jay
Jay, you could use that voice of yours in a lot of fields. Just like that guy in Boxing who says “ Let’s get ready to rumble!”.
Oh. That's a good idea for next video. 🤔 lol 😆 thanks
When looking for Respectable Future Wives in the Philippines..Don't go the Hooker Streets, Red Strips!-- i stead HANG AROUND CALL CENTER BUSINESSES! PINAY GIRLS THERE ARE COLLEGE SCHOOLED GRADS, GOOD ENGLISH SPEAKER AND OVER-THE-HEELS- SUPER ROMANTIC!!

Jay, man I have never seen you before but your words really speak to me. THANK YOU!!!!
You and I are different folk & I know I will be better equipped for food & certain other issues than most fellows, but heat & humidity will take me probably 3 months to get semi-used to it.
I am really glad you made the decision to stay with that woman. It sounds like you made a great decision and got a wonderful woman.
I hope to see more of you.
Next one coming real soon! Lol man, I appreciate comments like this. I can feel the sincerity in them. It may take some time with the heat. But overall health will improve. I am glad we stayed together also. Not been easy. Hope we can talk more sometime. Be safe my friend!
@@jaysphilippines Hopefully I'll be there by Christmas

Lol, no, just played a lot of basketball. :) thank you, I'll consider more voice overs now you complimented me. Thanks!
@@jaysphilippines I sometimes mimic the recorded voices of telephone companies when you make a call and no one is answering telling you to leave a message like "the number you're trying to reach is no longer in service please check the number and dial again" or "hello.. the number you're trying to reach is not able to take your call right now.... if you would like to leave a message press 1 if you would like to erase and re record press 2 or just simply hang up...goodbye!' I do like voice overs too... But I have never done it in any setting. 😊

😀hello Valor! Thank you very much. Appreciate that, very kind. Always and forever, philippines for me! Jay
Being Filipina myself, I would definitely agree that there a lot of women in my country who are desperately desire foreigners for a husband. Regardless of, I can say, majority have good intentions and are potential life partner because culturally, Asian women especially South East Asia are raised to be homemakers and they get their fulfillment from being one. BUT BE EXTRA CAREFUL, few of these girls are can be "gold diggers" too, hard truth. Be wise men. I'm in my 50s, single. Been surrounded with foreigners due to work reason but I don't find most attractive and desirable despite some tried to pursue me.😬
thank you for comment, very good info. I understand. I dont know if ill want a foreigner for my daughter yet. lol
@@jaysphilippineswould you be ok if she married a russian commie?😂
U got good speaking voice
Thank you granny! 😊 glad you like. Jay
Power on 💪💪💪👍👍👍✌️👌
Big thanks!!
I can relate to your story. I think most divorced western fathers can. The USA is a raw deal for having a family most of the time.
I'm glad there are alternatives out there to start over with.
What food did you find that you like to eat?
If im exercsing alot, a good ole roasted chicken, street vendors and a pile of white rice is pretty good. but if its just a normal day, im chickened burnt out often. thats the struggle in the philippines. there is nothing that comes to mind really thats easily obtainable if your not a local with connections. I will without a doubt have a cook in house making new things for me. but thats when your settled in, still living like a tourist has its challenges. I am not eating the pork from the shops i see. I like broth alot. but hard to get steak in duma. lol i dont think i helped you at all. its one of my hurdles to overcome there.
Thankyou so much !
Thank you Gary! Appreciate you!
I got a vasectomy after divorcing wife #1. Saved me a lot of potential issues down the road.
Lol. Never never never. To squeamish:)
Yup happen to me too bro. Now he's 11 and the girlfriend is now the wifey. 👍🏾
Lol, awesome. Sometimes that's just the way it is. Was for the best. 11 years old, that's great!. Jay
Good I'm moving too. 31 years in the US damage my soul😅
31 years in US is enough to damage alot of things.
