What a great heartwarming video. I'm excited to see you bringing in her little sister and helping her get the best that she can out of life. Looking forward to seeing the build progress.
Go, go, go! It is very nice to hear of your open armed embrace of your extended family. This is the largest factor in my love for the Republic of the Philippines.
What did you say there? The way you write, I think you are overly excited about things you have no clue about and that's dangerous. I could write a long comment here about extended families, but I won't. I'll just say you are bound to be royally disappointed. I suggest you educate yourself about Filipinos and "your" extended family in particular. 99.9% of the time, it is not what it seems.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines LOL, No pity from me. Your are having the best time of your life and everybody knows it. You two are an example of how true love can also make the world a better place. Happy new year.
I’m excited to see the improvements and construction of your property and new home. You certainly have enriched the lives of many people Rob, especially Chrissy little sister. May God bless you for your kindness.
At first I thought I had a glare on my TV so I cleaned the screen. I was wrong, it's the sparkle in her eyes when talking about the mountain property. That anticipation of Joy.
Nice to see your investment to have your own place! The elevation there and fewer neighbors makes it look very peaceful. I personally love the higher elevations to moderate the heat and enjoy the view. Sounds like a great plan & I wish you every success in life.
AWESOME!!! Love you guys! You guys do you. Negative comments are just their fears. Live your best lives. HAPPY NEW YEAR! You two inspire me! I have a good life in America, I want a better life in the Philippines.
I think it's great that you can help so many people have a better life and future. Watching other videos of how people live there, we are so blessed to have all the amenities we have in the USA, and to be able to help others like you're doing is awesome! The very best to you and your extended family!🥰
GOOD FOR YOU !!! I say F the haters, F the negative comments, keep making useful, entertaining content live your lives and enjoy!!! Rob, you and the dincin queen keep on keepin on.
Your a good man and buying land up in the mountains looks incredible, helping family and boosting the next generation to ultimately a better future is what it's all about... I hope I find my forever there and am able to do the same and wishing you happy holidays and the best for the new year 🙏🤓 take care
Only one thing left to make it better and give Chrissy one of your own…💦💦🙏🙏❤️❤️ I keep praying this may happen…a daughter I think would be best…and then follow the best anti aging Longevity protocols known…that would be strength training to hold onto muscle and VO2 max…🙏🙏❤️❤️ Love your channel…this will allow a lot of interesting content in the future…
Awesome news x3! Congratulations on the family addition, it will be a Blessing for the young Lady and at least as much for you as well. The property is spectacular. I immediately thought of Eden when you mentioned the trees. Perhaps "Eden ridge" for a name. Can't wait to hear about your next travel plans!
Good show..from an ex chopper pilot- Rule of thumb- every 1000ft above sea level the temp will reduce by 2*C..I know this by landing in the jungle @14000 ft in the jungle in Papua Indo..Cheers Daz😊
Congratulations 🎉 to both of you! The land looks great, though it does seem to be isolated…. You’re making some huge changes - did I miss the announcement of where your traveling outside of Philippines?
I wish to congratulate you on this happy news! - I strike such comparisons with your marriage and mine. (Though I'm 34 and my wife is 28, a 5year and 3months age gap) I married my Filipina October 13, we've announced to our friends and colleagues we're expecting on the 24th of December and I've solely focused on making everything work. While I don't comment or watch most of your videos, they are alway pleasant to see the thumbnail and to see how your doing. I wish you all the best. Matt and Liza from the UK and Philippines
To Rob and Chrissy you're doing an excellent job of presenting the Philippines as it really is The upside the downside you're being realistic. You're serious about doing what's right You're thinking ahead you're planning. May the Lord continue to bless both of you in Jesus name Amen
@@SlateDakota it is not at all realistic. Fewer than 5% of men going there have Rob's interpersonal skills, insights and guts. Furthermore, what are the chances of encountering one of the very rare women like Chrissy. The rest of us are stuck with the filipina pea. ( just taunting you Pea ).
True for many , but not all....make sure you make that clear with your filpina upfront ..if you don't wish to be a pension provider for her family ..before you get too far in the relationship...
I really never understood the apprehension of buying land in the Philippines if, you are married to a Filipino national. If you really love this woman. taking care of her after you're gone is all part of the game plan. As per taking care of her family, you are getting value for dollar spent.... good for you sir, good luck to you and yours in all your endeavors.
Too many expats forget about what happens after you leave this life. What about your significant other? I took the better route than most by bringing my wife to the US and she gained her US citizenship. When we retire in 8 years to Manila we will already own a condo and house, paid for by both of us. And when I leave this place, my wife and son will have the option of moving back to the USA if they chose since both are citizens.
Because of the negative stories out there on Raffy Tulfo. In my opinion, 99% of the guys in those stories lost their lands because of their own faults. Most did not even follow common sense! They sent money to Filipinas they barely knew to buy land, had no land lease written up, built mansions in their Filipinas' family's lands, or were old men who chose the wrong type of females to marry. "WE GOT SCAMMED IN THE PHILIPPINES! MOUNTAIN LIFE MORENA KAYE & FAMILY" is an example of a man who didn't follow common sense. Thank God Morena Kaye stood by him. I think there are 3 videos made by her on this issue.
Once the house is built and in her name only. as foreigners can not own property in Philippines she can ask you to leave the property any time no questions asked 🤔😉👍😀
Happy for you both. Hope it works out versus some otherrs where it did not. The long game is buy the land, build fhe house and thats when things somehow change. Hope fhe best for you both.
Really depends on the character of the Filipina and her family…I would rather favor corporate ownership than entirely in the Filipinas name…but then again I’m thinking of a very big house and lots of toys…
New Subscriber here, Today I started watching your channel.. Wishing you both a Happy New Year .. Good luck with your new plans ... You both will keep very busy... Looking forward to watching your new videos and some older ones ...
Paul, I appreciate your feedback in my situation. Chrissy is my partner and we generate some financial reward for the work that we do together. These investments are simply curse share being directed into long-term property that can’t be borrowed or used by relatives and the assistance we get from her families in return for services we would purchase from strangers.
Amazing news! Great news on the property, I wouldn't put my life saving into a property there, but it's nice having your own place is nice! Amazing news on the additional family member!
Having kids in the same grade would help create a closer knit family . They can learn the same school material together & learn how to help each other.
I stayed back in 4th grade here in the USA & it was not by design but ended up in the same grade & the same school as my younger brother because I had stayed back in 4th grade . Name for your property My Paradise I’m in USA in SC & love the Philippines.
I think it's great what you're doing for Chrissy's family and you're not doing it for nothing because they also help you out. Buying land in the Philippines is not something that I would do again - been there, done that and regretted it - but I am me and you are you and you must do what makes you happy! Success!
Thanks for the feedback and support. It’s important to me that Chrissy is paid for the work. She does on my channel and that she invest that money into something long-term that can’t be borrowed or used by needy family members.
@@jamiestar3376 Because it was in my wife's name (foreigners can't own land in the Philippines), so when I divorced her I lost the land with 7 bedroom mansion. I will never go down that road again!
We just had our first and only child together after 14 years of marriage. It was quite a surprise as my Thai wife who is 31 years younger than me had been told by numerous docs she could not conceive. They were wrong! At 65 I’m a father again (I have a 35 year old daughter who is a doctor and two young grandkids) and absolutely loving my new beautiful second daughter! It’s not something I would recommend unless you as an older guy are in good health with plenty of energy and financially secure. Fortunately I’m blessed with great health, good longevity genes and I’m financially very well off as a retired attorney. I’m hoping to see my daughter into adulthood and maybe a few more grandkids! She brings a whole new level of meaning and purpose into my life to be sure.
It’s nice to hear about the men who have their shit together do this. So different than most other expats that are definitely not financially prepared to re-start a new family, much less the ones that leave young single mom widows
Good luck to both of you i always enjoy your channel. Nice to see vloggers that aren't in Duma or Angeles. Im going to settle in Iloilo, i didnt know about until you visited and did a video.
I'm sure Chrissy and her family are quality people they certainly seem so and it's your life and you should live it as you choose BUT 🍑🍑 this is NOT the advice you and other youtube gurus are giving everyone constantly on youtube. The advice you and others are giving are don't move the family in, keep them at least 2 hrs away, don't buy land you can't own land, take things slow wait 5 years before you make any significant purchases, don't lead with money and don't build the family houses, you can have this life on 2k-2.5k a month etc etc. You should give HONEST advice. The honest advice would be - Filipinas expect the following when getting involved with a western man - they want to be married, they expect you to take responsibility for previous children, they want half children with you, they want land and build them a house, they want you to build their family houses, they never want to worry about bills that's your problem and they want family support. They will not say this out loud but that is what is expected and they are expecting you to read between the lines and I think the good filipinas may be worth it (but how many and how can you tell within 1 year?). A much more realistic budget for this would be 3 to 5 k per month and 60 to100k to buy land and build a house and then whatever you need as an emergency fund. This would be much more honest advice instead of selling the youtube dream and allow men to make a more informed decision and also make them vet much more carefully and get their finances in order before attempting what your selling.
Interesting feedback. Much of what you say is true. We work together- 20 months is like dog years - we know each other much better than a man working outside the house 5 days a week. I was never asked by anyone- I entered into a trade - got religious hard working family members with integrity to babysit, housekeeping, build, caretake. These services from strangers are inferior and more expensive. Once married beginning to plan for the future makes good sense
Rob. Enjoy you're channel and wish you and Chrissy all the best but man oh man you are breaking all the basic rules. Another one not mentioned. Having family involved in the build. Everyman should ask himself this question to protect himself. Can l afford to walk away from everything l have invested if things go wrong ? If the answer is yes then no worries. If the answer is no then comes down to what his instincts are telling him but then that's when the stakes just got a whole lot higher.
@@satoshi_yukamoto841 The more intelligent the woman the more sophisticated the scam especially if she has some money to invest in the project that only in the need will benefit her and her family
If it is a wonderful, can you buy neighbouring plots and place short term rentals for visitors on them? You can charge them for tours etc. Or have neighbours of proven good character of your choice.
Hello Rob and Chrissy! Given the ground and the climate, if you plant other fruit trees, papayas, mangoes, litchis or equivalent (durian maybe?) how long would it take for the trees to produce your own organic fruits?
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year 🎉..Congrats on your new place...indeed it has a spectacular view..Is that somewhere in Libona,Bukidnon hope you dont mind me asking simce were also looking for a property?. God bless ..Your channel is very informative ..Keep it up
Hi guys. Excited to see these changes. Wow, what a 2025 you guys are going to have. A very belated Happy Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful year ahead! I've been chatting to a beautiful someone who fits much of what I've been looking for, and who works as a teaching assistant at a Christian school in Visayas, so my mind is turning to just considering a life out there. I'm amazed at what you've been able to do and keen to know more about the financing of... well, everything. Lots of Qs, so will drop you a line on email. But wishing you all the very best!! 😊😊 Happy New Year.
Hopefully there wont be too many trolls, but as for me congratulations! Fully agree to have family around, better people's lives and NOT SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING! That's so important! All the best! 18:57
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I agree and wish you all the best. I think the character of the people is key. But remember once you assume responsibility for these people its for life they are counting on you for the rest of their life not just for a few years. If you have the resources for that that's great.
The most common name in the UK used to be "Dunroamin" yes that spelling. Try translating it into a few different Philiino languages to see if you like the sound of one.
Ohhhhhhhhhh no, the dance was cut short 😂😂 Sounds like the plan for the land will allow ease of travel. There's a lot of value in having trusted family looking over a house out in the country. Moreover, having a skilled family member manage your development and construction process is pure gold. What a kind and generous man you must be to take in that cute little girl. It's none of my business what developing Chrissy's land represents as a percentage of your net worth. But from an income perspective, Rob, you're appear to be going "ALL IN" baby: pucker up for the ride!!! 😆 Hey, I'm a real estate developer with both brokers and general contractors' licenses. Risk is my middle name. Sincerely, I wish the best of outcomes and luck to your both! When I move there in a couple years, I hope to find a fantastic Filipina like Chrissy. And yes, I'm sure she'll get a nice house too. 🤣 Heck, loosing half a little shack in a US divorce is still a bigger loss than getting clipped for 100% of a nice house in The Philippines! Gotta pay to play baby!!!!!!!!!!!
Not quite what I was thinking. It’s land but pretty rural. Of course it’s cheap but cheap for a reason. Yes the view could be great. I was thinking of a nice lot but not in the middle of nowhere. Balakbayan is the cheap way to go with no guarantees. A SRRV or 13A gives you the right to live in the Philippines. During lockdown you couldn’t enter the Philippines with a balakbayan. I thought you retired with some money. I guess I was wrong. You seem to be a bright guy. I was thinking you were worth a million or two or three dollars. Of course any land purchase is exciting. Nice what your doing taking in your wife’s stepdaughter. Good luck 🍀
Congratulations on your newest addition to the family Rob and Chrissy! What a wonderful and thoughtful idea to help make a better life for Chrissy's young sister. Buying land there seems scary to me but at least you already have the best contractor. I would just suggest to have a good lawyer involved to go over all details relating to title and making sure title is clean. Congatulations again and good luck!
I wonder if you could additionally build a double walled kubo bahay and put dried chopped leaves between the walls and atop the ceiling for insulation and thus make a/c affordable if needed. Then perhaps you can Airbnb it.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines you might not need insulation up there on the mountain. the thing i wonder about is how it would compete with hotels in town closer to the action. On the other hand Christine's mother or stepdad might be hosts and provide transportation and translation/escort services. They could be hosts and take rental money and pay y'all $8/day and keep the rest. You'd need to save $3 of the $8 in a maintenance account. Oh, and the guests get a discount if they help wash the pigs.
What exciting news in this video. I love that you are bringing Chrissey's half sister into the house. Children are such a gift. The land is also a great idea. What fabulous views! Responsible husbands, especially much older ones, plan for their wife to have a prosperous future after they are gone. Mylene still wants to own a house in the Philippines even if its only a rental. Here in Buffalo we are enjoying our new grandbaby and seeing more of all three kids and our son-in-law. Bit of a different climate here than in the Philippines, but we'll make the best of it.
Children always work best in even numbers as it prevents the middle child syndrome. Glad your doing this for your wife. Always remember the secret ingredient in love is bravery. Go bravely forward.
I say if you can afford everything you are doing more power to you. The land is gorgeous, and your plans are well thought out. Congratulations on a life well lived. My wife is 30 years younger, and I bought her a house so she can have something when I kick the bucket. Keep thinking positive and moving forward. You are only as old as you think you are.
Hi guys congratulations on an amazing property! I am so happy for you both and so appreciative of the guidance and friendship you have provided. I have been boots on the ground here in PH since early Nov and return to LA in Feb for 3-4 months and then back to PH for good. I know this is the right place for me and Rob I'll reach out privately there's lots to update. As for a name for the property I have always loved naming my properties and I think you should incorporate your channel name somehow. Fly me to the farm. Fly me to the view. Fly me to Nirvana. Something in that world. As a girl dad of three daughters, l love incorporating Chrissy's sister (I don't use the term half-sister). What most of expats really crave is love and how can adding that angel to your lives be anything but love.
This episode reminds of saying my dad taught me "A fool and his money". I have known a few guys that went down that path for a few years and are now back in the USA alone. Maybe you'll be the exception.
Most don’t have a partner working TH-cam- having her invest her share in property, getting her stepfather to build, educating her sister is not the same thing as me wasting my capital in freeloaders?
@FlyMeToThePhilippines One of the guys I knew was married for quite a few years he eventually had to come back to the USA and back to work in his 60s. I hope you guys are solid and it works for you. I'm on a.SRRV and do plan to marry.
It can be very interesting to see the places a trike can go Rob and Krissy. At least you own the trike. I paid a guy who took me all over in the mountains with his trike. It made me feel a little guilty something could go wrong with his Trike.
Bella Vista, which is Beautiful View in English would be a nice name with that Beautiful view of the Mountains from your Property or Probinsya de la Bella Vista is also another nice option.
Thanks and thanks for the great content and information on the Philippines. 🇵🇭 😮 Congratulations on the new property and projects. I remember when Michael from Roxas started his projects on his bar and new House 🏠 he leased and it was great to see him accomplish his dream in Philippines and find Happiness with his new Filipina partner Catherine. I wish both of you the same success on your new Property and look forward to your new TH-cam Content. 😉😃👍
This is what I see : 1. Guy travels from west to meet Filipina 2. Guy finds and marries Filipina 3. Guy builds a house on her land or families land 4. Guy helps Filipina become a independent woman by helping her with education or way to improve income options’ 5. Filipina becomes financially independent 6. Bye Bye husband I do r need you anymore.
Man meets girl, falls in love, starts TH-cam channel, invests her share into real assets and providing education for less fortunate-travels and enjoys life with his half.
Hey guys, congratulations we are thinking of pulling the trigger to the Philippines in February just right around the corner still scared here in the UK anyways what area are you guys from? And what’s the realistic budget for a family of four? We are not elegant people just average basic people let me know and also how do I book a consultation with you
You’re a grown man and have your own experience and choices and your own ambitions on what you want to do with your life. It’s nice of you to sponsor and support your wife’s poor family and eventually leave something for your wife that undoubtedly will be more than she would have earned and been able to afford without you. I’ve been going to the Philippines for 10 years now and stayed with my Filipina gf that later became my wife after 4 years of dating and me being in the Philippines traveling to work for call centers contacted by US Health Plans. Personally I have invested in rebuilding my wife’s family home and will probably buy property for her when I retire so we can build something in CDO too. My wife’s family lives in Iligan City and her Papa passed away so it’s just her mom in the house with us now.
How awesome are you both. Truly inspirational and genuinely caring for many. You touch people's lives across the globe 🌎 ❤in many many ways. I went for two weeks earlier this year and am planning to return in 2025 for a much longer period. Might bump into you I mean how big can the Philippines be, right? 😂😂 No opinion required you guys rocking life. ❤it
Hey guys....I love all your videos. My filipina is just waiting for the visa to go through and she'll be in America for 4 years til I retire and then we'll move to Mindanao. She's from Suarez...near Iligan city but I will be buying some land and building a house. Lead your family toward Jesus and He will continue to bless you. I'm proud of yall.

You two look great together don’t listen to negative comments just live the positive vibes your doing a great thing here
❤️🙏👍 Thank you Wayne
Yes sorry HAPPY NEW YEARS to you guys looking forward to be coming out soon
👍
New Subscriber here, Today I started watching your channel..
Wishing you both a Happy New Year ..
Good luck with your new plans ...
You both will keep very busy...
Looking forward to watching your new videos and some older ones ...
Thanks for subscribing, we’re glad to have you
Congratulations! I’m impressed, I’m very happy for you! Of course you are taking on risks, but that is the only way to rewards.
Thank you so much!
Good luck guys I hope it all goes well but must admit rob this goes against your previous advice
Paul, I appreciate your feedback in my situation. Chrissy is my partner and we generate some financial reward for the work that we do together. These investments are simply curse share being directed into long-term property that can’t be borrowed or used by relatives and the assistance we get from her families in return for services we would purchase from strangers.
Amazing news! Great news on the property, I wouldn't put my life saving into a property there, but it's nice having your own place is nice! Amazing news on the additional family member!
Appreciate it Paul
Given always comes back to you, God will bless your giving.. You are a great couple expanding your love for family.
We are so happy to be expanding our family!
How about the "Chocnana Hill" for your new property?
Great piece of land.
Having kids in the same grade would help create a closer knit family . They can learn the same school material together & learn how to help each other.
Good point. Thanks for sharing
I stayed back in 4th grade here in the USA & it was not by design but ended up in the same grade & the same school as my younger brother because I had stayed back in 4th grade .
Name for your property
My Paradise
I’m in USA in SC & love the Philippines.
Nice name
My opinion: Beautiful family. Stay blessed!
Thanks so much!
I think it's great what you're doing for Chrissy's family and you're not doing it for nothing because they also help you out. Buying land in the Philippines is not something that I would do again - been there, done that and regretted it - but I am me and you are you and you must do what makes you happy! Success!
Why did you regret it ? For my own education ?
Thanks for the feedback and support. It’s important to me that Chrissy is paid for the work. She does on my channel and that she invest that money into something long-term that can’t be borrowed or used by needy family members.
@@jamiestar3376 Because it was in my wife's name (foreigners can't own land in the Philippines), so when I divorced her I lost the land with 7 bedroom mansion. I will never go down that road again!
I look forward to seeing the big changes ahead. I like the name Coconut Canyon
We like it too!
My stress level and blood pressure went up from a 3 out of 10 to 8 just watching this video... are you sure you have thought this through??????
Well reading the feedback helps
We just had our first and only child together after 14 years of marriage. It was quite a surprise as my Thai wife who is 31 years younger than me had been told by numerous docs she could not conceive. They were wrong! At 65 I’m a father again (I have a 35 year old daughter who is a doctor and two young grandkids) and absolutely loving my new beautiful second daughter! It’s not something I would recommend unless you as an older guy are in good health with plenty of energy and financially secure. Fortunately I’m blessed with great health, good longevity genes and I’m financially very well off as a retired attorney. I’m hoping to see my daughter into adulthood and maybe a few more grandkids! She brings a whole new level of meaning and purpose into my life to be sure.
Awesome bro thanks for sharing this
It’s nice to hear about the men who have their shit together do this. So different than most other expats that are definitely not financially prepared to re-start a new family, much less the ones that leave young single mom widows
Good luck to both of you i always enjoy your channel. Nice to see vloggers that aren't in Duma or Angeles. Im going to settle in Iloilo, i didnt know about until you visited and did a video.
Iloilo is a great choice. It’s growing so fast.
If you want to build on your lott dont take to long, a lot off materials go up 10% a year
Thanks for the Tip
I'm sure Chrissy and her family are quality people they certainly seem so and it's your life and you should live it as you choose BUT 🍑🍑 this is NOT the advice you and other youtube gurus are giving everyone constantly on youtube. The advice you and others are giving are don't move the family in, keep them at least 2 hrs away, don't buy land you can't own land, take things slow wait 5 years before you make any significant purchases, don't lead with money and don't build the family houses, you can have this life on 2k-2.5k a month etc etc. You should give HONEST advice. The honest advice would be - Filipinas expect the following when getting involved with a western man - they want to be married, they expect you to take responsibility for previous children, they want half children with you, they want land and build them a house, they want you to build their family houses, they never want to worry about bills that's your problem and they want family support. They will not say this out loud but that is what is expected and they are expecting you to read between the lines and I think the good filipinas may be worth it (but how many and how can you tell within 1 year?). A much more realistic budget for this would be 3 to 5 k per month and 60 to100k to buy land and build a house and then whatever you need as an emergency fund. This would be much more honest advice instead of selling the youtube dream and allow men to make a more informed decision and also make them vet much more carefully and get their finances in order before attempting what your selling.
Interesting feedback. Much of what you say is true. We work together- 20 months is like dog years - we know each other much better than a man working outside the house 5 days a week.
I was never asked by anyone- I entered into a trade - got religious hard working family members with integrity to babysit, housekeeping, build, caretake. These services from strangers are inferior and more expensive. Once married beginning to plan for the future makes good sense
The "Godfather" , it's the family. A lot to manage.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines
Rob.
Enjoy you're channel and wish you and Chrissy all the best but man oh man you are breaking all the basic rules.
Another one not mentioned.
Having family involved in the build.
Everyman should ask himself this question to protect himself.
Can l afford to walk away from everything l have invested if things go wrong ?
If the answer is yes then no worries.
If the answer is no then comes down to what his instincts are telling him but then that's when the stakes just got a whole lot higher.
@@rinphil Chrissy is my partner in TH-cam- these investments are really her share!

If it is a wonderful, can you buy neighbouring plots and place short term rentals for visitors on them?
You can charge them for tours etc.
Or have neighbours of proven good character of your choice.
Hello Rob and Chrissy! Given the ground and the climate, if you plant other fruit trees, papayas, mangoes, litchis or equivalent (durian maybe?) how long would it take for the trees to produce your own organic fruits?
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year 🎉..Congrats on your new place...indeed it has a spectacular view..Is that somewhere in Libona,Bukidnon hope you dont mind me asking simce were also looking for a property?. God bless ..Your channel is very informative ..Keep it up
Hi guys. Excited to see these changes. Wow, what a 2025 you guys are going to have. A very belated Happy Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful year ahead!
I've been chatting to a beautiful someone who fits much of what I've been looking for, and who works as a teaching assistant at a Christian school in Visayas, so my mind is turning to just considering a life out there. I'm amazed at what you've been able to do and keen to know more about the financing of... well, everything. Lots of Qs, so will drop you a line on email.
But wishing you all the very best!! 😊😊 Happy New Year.
Happy new year to you too. Look forward to receiving your email
This sounds so good…. Making an appointment!
Thanks, Mark. I received the appointment request and will call you soon.
Dogs? Rob, you're on a very provincial path! I strongly suggest connecting a chicken coup to the new master bedroom.
Interesting! Will keep it in mind! 😂. Not
Hopefully there wont be too many trolls, but as for me congratulations!
Fully agree to have family around, better people's lives and NOT SITTING AROUND DOING NOTHING! That's so important! All the best! 18:57
Thanks so much Bryan appreciate it
What would the philippines and filipinos do without foreigners🙂🙂🙂
Lots of people need help. Filipinos who are honest and hard working are great candidates
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines I agree and wish you all the best. I think the character of the people is key. But remember once you assume responsibility for these people its for life they are counting on you for the rest of their life not just for a few years. If you have the resources for that that's great.
@ Solid point- I agree
What will happen to all the investments you are making if your relationship doesn't work out.😂
Why is that funny? Like 50% of men who get divorced it would be unfortunate
The most common name in the UK used to be "Dunroamin" yes that spelling.
Try translating it into a few different Philiino languages to see if you like the sound of one.
Ohhhhhhhhhh no, the dance was cut short 😂😂 Sounds like the plan for the land will allow ease of travel. There's a lot of value in having trusted family looking over a house out in the country. Moreover, having a skilled family member manage your development and construction process is pure gold. What a kind and generous man you must be to take in that cute little girl. It's none of my business what developing Chrissy's land represents as a percentage of your net worth. But from an income perspective, Rob, you're appear to be going "ALL IN" baby: pucker up for the ride!!! 😆 Hey, I'm a real estate developer with both brokers and general contractors' licenses. Risk is my middle name. Sincerely, I wish the best of outcomes and luck to your both! When I move there in a couple years, I hope to find a fantastic Filipina like Chrissy. And yes, I'm sure she'll get a nice house too. 🤣 Heck, loosing half a little shack in a US divorce is still a bigger loss than getting clipped for 100% of a nice house in The Philippines! Gotta pay to play baby!!!!!!!!!!!
Appreciate it, she's a real blessing! And the investment involved is really her share of the profits of our passion project here
Also good luck if you have an emergency health situation you're done
I hope not - just 45 minutes from a large hospital (Golden hour)
Absolutely true ...
I'll be there middle of next month!!!
👍
There's a Chrissy waiting here for you too , when you arrive ...
Going to cost a ton of money for fence permit for that much property if you don't fix it you'll have squatters guarantee
Only 1.25 acres, already fenced, will have a caretaker on site
Good afternoon. I'd like to ask you about your journey to the Philippines from the USA. Thank you Sir.
Not quite what I was thinking. It’s land but pretty rural. Of course it’s cheap but cheap for a reason. Yes the view could be great. I was thinking of a nice lot but not in the middle of nowhere. Balakbayan is the cheap way to go with no guarantees. A SRRV or 13A gives you the right to live in the Philippines. During lockdown you couldn’t enter the Philippines with a balakbayan. I thought you retired with some money. I guess I was wrong. You seem to be a bright guy. I was thinking you were worth a million or two or three dollars. Of course any land purchase is exciting. Nice what your doing taking in your wife’s stepdaughter. Good luck 🍀
I'm still working on making my dream a reality and am grateful for your advice.
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines It’s still exciting I love real estate. Good luck with that. Small investment not much of a downside. Have fun with it.
Congratulations on your newest addition to the family Rob and Chrissy! What a wonderful and thoughtful idea to help make a better life for Chrissy's young sister. Buying land there seems scary to me but at least you already have the best contractor. I would just suggest to have a good lawyer involved to go over all details relating to title and making sure title is clean. Congatulations again and good luck!
Thank you! It's all about the family.
I wonder if you could additionally build a double walled kubo bahay and put dried chopped leaves between the walls and atop the ceiling for insulation and thus make a/c affordable if needed. Then perhaps you can Airbnb it.
That is an excellent idea. I will definitely consider it!
@@FlyMeToThePhilippines you might not need insulation up there on the mountain. the thing i wonder about is how it would compete with hotels in town closer to the action. On the other hand Christine's mother or stepdad might be hosts and provide transportation and translation/escort services. They could be hosts and take rental money and pay y'all $8/day and keep the rest. You'd need to save $3 of the $8 in a maintenance account. Oh, and the guests get a discount if they help wash the pigs.
GOOD VLOG
Thank you
this is very good news! to care for family and buy real estate last for a long time offering some security
Thanks as always Rory
What exciting news in this video. I love that you are bringing Chrissey's half sister into the house. Children are such a gift. The land is also a great idea. What fabulous views! Responsible husbands, especially much older ones, plan for their wife to have a prosperous future after they are gone. Mylene still wants to own a house in the Philippines even if its only a rental. Here in Buffalo we are enjoying our new grandbaby and seeing more of all three kids and our son-in-law. Bit of a different climate here than in the Philippines, but we'll make the best of it.
Thanks for sharing your family updates. We hope you enjoy the beauty of your family time. Buffalo in December 🫣
Children always work best in even numbers as it prevents the middle child syndrome. Glad your doing this for your wife. Always remember the secret ingredient in love is bravery. Go bravely forward.
Love and appreciate your comment
I say if you can afford everything you are doing more power to you. The land is gorgeous, and your plans are well thought out. Congratulations on a life well lived. My wife is 30 years younger, and I bought her a house so she can have something when I kick the bucket. Keep thinking positive and moving forward. You are only as old as you think you are.
Appreciate that!
Hi guys congratulations on an amazing property! I am so happy for you both and so appreciative of the guidance and friendship you have provided. I have been boots on the ground here in PH since early Nov and return to LA in Feb for 3-4 months and then back to PH for good. I know this is the right place for me and Rob I'll reach out privately there's lots to update. As for a name for the property I have always loved naming my properties and I think you should incorporate your channel name somehow. Fly me to the farm. Fly me to the view. Fly me to Nirvana. Something in that world. As a girl dad of three daughters, l love incorporating Chrissy's sister (I don't use the term half-sister). What most of expats really crave is love and how can adding that angel to your lives be anything but love.
This episode reminds of saying my dad taught me "A fool and his money". I have known a few guys that went down that path for a few years and are now back in the USA alone. Maybe you'll be the exception.
Most don’t have a partner working TH-cam- having her invest her share in property, getting her stepfather to build, educating her sister is not the same thing as me wasting my capital in freeloaders?
@FlyMeToThePhilippines One of the guys I knew was married for quite a few years he eventually had to come back to the USA and back to work in his 60s. I hope you guys are solid and it works for you.
I'm on a.SRRV and do plan to marry.
Good for all of you guys and all of your families. It will be a great property for all. 🍻
Hope so!
It’s nice to have family around. The more the merrier.
❤️🙏👍 Thank you
Rob i like your progress lol just one thing missing....a couple of roosters and hens..
I just say no to the roosters
Enjoy watching your videos. I’m 56 and going in 2026 with my wife (Filipina) to scout property in CDO
Great to hear from you. I hope your scouting goes well!
It can be very interesting to see the places a trike can go Rob and Krissy. At least you own the trike. I paid a guy who took me all over in the mountains with his trike. It made me feel a little guilty something could go wrong with his Trike.
Exactly steve. Thank you for watching
Bella Vista, which is Beautiful View in English would be a nice name with that Beautiful view of the Mountains from your Property or Probinsya de la Bella Vista is also another nice option.
I agree- that’s a great name!
Thanks and thanks for the great content and information on the Philippines. 🇵🇭 😮 Congratulations on the new property and projects. I remember when Michael from Roxas started his projects on his bar and new House 🏠 he leased and it was great to see him accomplish his dream in Philippines and find Happiness with his new Filipina partner Catherine. I wish both of you the same success on your new Property and look forward to your new TH-cam Content. 😉😃👍
This is what I see :
1. Guy travels from west to meet Filipina
2. Guy finds and marries Filipina
3. Guy builds a house on her land or families land
4. Guy helps Filipina become a independent woman by helping her with education or way to improve income options’
5. Filipina becomes financially independent
6. Bye Bye husband I do r need you anymore.
Man meets girl, falls in love, starts TH-cam channel, invests her share into real assets and providing education for less fortunate-travels and enjoys life with his half.
House name:Destination Paradise.
👍❤️
Hey guys, congratulations we are thinking of pulling the trigger to the Philippines in February just right around the corner still scared here in the UK anyways what area are you guys from? And what’s the realistic budget for a family of four? We are not elegant people just average basic people let me know and also how do I book a consultation with you
Cagayan de Oro - budget family of 4 2750 👉 consultation flymetothephilippinesconsultation.as.me/
You’re a grown man and have your own experience and choices and your own ambitions on what you want to do with your life. It’s nice of you to sponsor and support your wife’s poor family and eventually leave something for your wife that undoubtedly will be more than she would have earned and been able to afford without you. I’ve been going to the Philippines for 10 years now and stayed with my Filipina gf that later became my wife after 4 years of dating and me being in the Philippines traveling to work for call centers contacted by US Health Plans. Personally I have invested in rebuilding my wife’s family home and will probably buy property for her when I retire so we can build something in CDO too. My wife’s family lives in Iligan City and her Papa passed away so it’s just her mom in the house with us now.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us

Thank you
How awesome are you both. Truly inspirational and genuinely caring for many.
You touch people's lives across the globe 🌎 ❤in many many ways.

Hey guys....I love all your videos. My filipina is just waiting for the visa to go through and she'll be in America for 4 years til I retire and then we'll move to Mindanao. She's from Suarez...near Iligan city but I will be buying some land and building a house. Lead your family toward Jesus and He will continue to bless you. I'm proud of yall.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Blessings to you. 5 years in USA qualifies for survivor benefits
