As an "experiment" learning experience, I have been following many "media networks" for almost 2 years and I am appalled at how much bias and little actual discussion of issues happens on almost all of them. News media has the lowest trust ever.
@@robertkubrick3738 Umm kind of obvious that you wouldn't have heard about it, right? Think about how complicated and delicate matter it is. Muammar Gaddafi was the Libyan dictator who started the trend in 2000. And today we are seeing Arabian totalitarian countries getting to host olympics and soccer world cups.
@@Minsetti You said "They love doing it for the positive publicity"? Now you say it's secret? Just stop. Someone has to fill in all the holes you dig and they are overworked.
I've heard too many foreigners saying they felt safe in dodgy areas. Just cause they were lucky doesn't mean it's safe. Eastman found out the hard way it ain't so.
But he was in an area that had the highest risk of this happening. I myself would never go in this area. I have been all over the Philippines and always felt safe minus this area. Southern Mindanao, with the exception of Davao, is certainly a no-go zone for me.
@@Synfulz There is a higher concentration of Drop dead gorgeous women in that area because most Western men won't go there looking for a trophy wife. It's not much safer in CDO where people generally say it's safe. I won't set foot on Mindanao. There is nothing there I must have.
The guy is food delivery driver back in the US .he build a sair sair store .and peso WiFi business with solar power which was making good money for him and his wife .and had purchased a kids motorbike for his Wife family worth alot money in pesos to locals .he was loaning money to local people.he was warned from locals they where planning on kidnapping him he didn't do anything about this.he was going on road trips to the beach and used to hide from people seeing him around.he new what was going on.he wasint happy and didn't have the full price of plane ticket back to the US.he had plans to travel back for work food delivery so he send money his wife for there business together.he had alot of regrets doing business there and the issues with locals.there was big issues with his sister inlaw there too
@@heww3960, the kidnappers did not warn him , the locals did , and if you go around giving out loans , that means you have lots of money , so you will call the attention of unwanted folks...
It is not safe in many areas for WESTERNERS in Zamboanga. I don't care what vloggers say! There have been ongoing SF operations by multiple nations working with the Philippines military since 9/11. Once you are taken into that dense jungle, you are screwed. Stay the F away from that area, Westerners. If you value your life. There are smart ass western men living down there who think they are safe. YOU ARE NOT SAFE!! Great video.
They still want to make it a muslim Caliphate. Next few years best to stay out of the Southern Philippines if you are from the US, Canada, Isreal or Europe.
Too many stupid naive kano TH-camrs saying that it’s safe are delusional like the kyle kulas becoming filipino. Only reason he never got taken is he’s too famous
He operates a loanshark or 5-6 as we call them here in the Philippines. He brags and flaunt how much money he makes on interest in his vlog. mind you this is located in a very remote and poorest area of the Philippines. So stupid.
Yeah read about this morning here in Cebu. No surprises. That part of the country always runs that risk... a long time money racket down that way. Sounds like he didn't take the risk very seriously. Because he's an American he'll always be a target there.
Guy kidnapped. Elliot eastman explained about 10 days ago on a youtube video titled "i found my wife in the Philippines" @1:25. that he was recently loaned out 21k and collected 23.5k. and had sent 35k back out on the street to make more...and he spoke of how he was spending hundreds of thousands on their new sari sari store with solar system and starlink piso wifi... So he was openly advertising: 1. That he had, for the poor area, a year or two of a locals income in cash moving in and out 2. That he as an American was charging usury interest rates to local muslims (Quran bans interest) and 3. That heas an American was likely taking business from other local loan sharks in a red zone (really stupid thing to do).... The guy was so situationally unaware of the actual risks... He joked about being kidnapped....
It is unfortunate, and my opinions regarding this matter would probably get me in trouble with the politically correct "powers that be" in the "ministry of truth" that is social media. Americans are stuck in the worst places in all regions of the world, and even domestically. Whether it was their own doing or not, current government leadership has proven extremely inept at securing their safety and welfare.
There is a whole lot of bias in social media and government in trying to get everyone to "conform" . Add lots of censorship of honest open discussions of the issues, and we have a tyrannical state of affairs.
Hi Rod, @3:40 you are wondering what all the flags are. Those flags are places you saved on Google Maps in your Google account. In the top right corner I can see you are logged into your Google account. If you want more privacy just logout of your Google account before you do a screen share.
My baby was kidnapped for the wrong father signed the paternity certificate. Courtesy of the baby's mother. They used a fake marriage certificate in the hospital and a white child was kidnapped in the PSA offices. Cebu city Tisa Saint Anthony Mother & Child Hospital. I haven't filed a criminal report yet, but maybe next year because I haven't dared to go to Cebu at the moment
The kidnapper's name is Christopher Gelig Abayan. He lives in Cebu City and Tisa if anyone happens to know the criminal. He has other crimes, e.g. credit card fraud and maybe other crimes. Be careful everyone, especially in Tisa
@@patrickmunneke8348 The kidnapper has 3 marriages, as far as I know, it is necessary to find out which marriage is real and which is fake, and I am not in the Philippines now because I am working abroad.
Expats keep blaming this kid. The Philipines is not some utopia of safety. The Australian guy in a high end resort kept telling his family Philippines is safe. Well he is a statistic now. We all need to be safe and smart keep your head swivel.

Good video Rod and I will endorse everything you stated. I will go even farther that now is a good time to trade USD and stuff the mattress if you don't have a bank account or even a BDO Cash Card, which pays no interest so you don't have to report the account as it's just a prepaid card. I remember the exchange rate as low as P38 to $1 USD back about 10 years ago. It's also a good time to buy big ticket Durable goods that you will buy in the next year. I play the odds and the chance of a blowout of the PHP going to 65 : $1 USD is a whole lot less than the exchange rate dropping below P50 to $1USD. Just this year I bought family a brand new Toyota Innova(Dad was in an accident fell asleep and hit a tree with the old one, the tree is fine) automatic because it was a better deal than buying a used one. Not a bad idea to have some local nest egg at any time but when wars are popping, I think it's a good precaution. Take care.
Just for the record , gun for hire can be male or female , i know a few of these woman personaly and they can be more lethal then there male counterpart. When you hear them talking , you will be shocked how much value human live has in some part of the world...and its seen as a business like any other...

I don't have cable or television here in the states. Probably around twenty years now. I'd rather eat glass than hear CNN.
As an "experiment" learning experience, I have been following many "media networks" for almost 2 years and I am appalled at how much bias and little actual discussion of issues happens on almost all of them. News media has the lowest trust ever.
America doesn't pay ransoms, and he was a food delivery guy back in US (not wealthy). He likely won't survive, sadly.
Natural selection in action.
Saudi-Arabia, Qatar or some other rich Arab country will pay for it eventually. They love doing that kind of things for the positive publicity.
@@Minsetti Funny, I never heard of them doing that.
@@robertkubrick3738 Umm kind of obvious that you wouldn't have heard about it, right?

I've heard too many foreigners saying they felt safe in dodgy areas. Just cause they were lucky doesn't mean it's safe. Eastman found out the hard way it ain't so.
I'm fairly certain I have heard of this exact same American Eastman saying it's perfectly safe. I guess he was wrong.
But he was in an area that had the highest risk of this happening. I myself would never go in this area. I have been all over the Philippines and always felt safe minus this area. Southern Mindanao, with the exception of Davao, is certainly a no-go zone for me.
Go along to get along obviously doesn't always work and the risk one takes in certain areas is obvious to most Gary.
@@Synfulz There is a higher concentration of Drop dead gorgeous women in that area because most Western men won't go there looking for a trophy wife. It's not much safer in CDO where people generally say it's safe. I won't set foot on Mindanao. There is nothing there I must have.
I was recently chased by bandits on a highway near Bislig Mindanao.
Great video Rod!!!! 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!
Thanks 👍Samuel.
Nothing is isolated. They took him for a reason. Philippines will try to lie and smooth it over.
No doubt they had planned this for some time. A foreigner living in that area will be targeted in many cases.
Did you see the house he was living in. IT didn't look like much off a place. I know I wouldn't even think of living there.
Rod my brother great information thanks for sharing 👌🏾👍🏾!
Thanks Skip.

In that case he made him self a target , plain and simple...
@@PlayersLifestyle7 That do not excuse the kidnapping in anyway. But why would the kidnappers warn him that he would be kidnapped, seems very weird.
@@heww3960, the kidnappers did not warn him , the locals did , and if you go around giving out loans , that means you have lots of money , so you will call the attention of unwanted folks...
@@heww3960he doesn't understand the local language.....perhaps locals overheard or more likely were involved.
Money lending was probably the Proximate cause because someone else had that business or a recipient of a loan didn't want to pay it back.

Thanks Steve. I agree, the risk is much higher there especially for someone loaning out money.
He operates a loanshark or 5-6 as we call them here in the Philippines. He brags and flaunt how much money he makes on interest in his vlog. mind you this is located in a very remote and poorest area of the Philippines. So stupid.
Thanks. More interesting info coming out. Loansharking is very frowned against in the muslim community.
Wow thank you on this update !!!
Thanks for the iinfo!
Thanks James. Be safe over there and stay out of the hinterlands where the risks go up.
I always enjoy your videos and information. Thanks...
😂 no news... if they say that the areas is definitely a dangerous place to been in the Philippines
You are not clever enough to understand that?????

My girlfriends father family left that area decades ago because of violence against their family.

All good points Robert. Not a real smart guy it appears.
It is unfortunate, and my opinions regarding this matter would probably get me in trouble with the politically correct "powers that be" in the "ministry of truth" that is social media. Americans are stuck in the worst places in all regions of the world, and even domestically.

Never be afraid to speak your truths.
Only by speaking truth to power can we change for the better.
There is a whole lot of bias in social media and government in trying to get everyone to "conform" . Add lots of censorship of honest open discussions of the issues, and we have a tyrannical state of affairs.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 TRUE
Rod, I like you doing news.
Many thanks.
Thanks for your video. Rod, heads up. Probably you already know. A Typhoon is coming. I watched WestPacWx. Take care. Stay safe!
First the guy gets shot in the leg in Zamboanga, then there is a red tide in Zamboanga…I’m not interested in the least in going to Zamboanga…😮

Good points Robert. Try not to be surprised and unprepared for future events.
Wow american people rich men richest big money men big money dont live in mindanao dont forget that

Good points. Best not to piss anyone off here.
Little late to the party,are we not LOL.
Not sure what you mean John.
I don't think they ever took the are off the risky list. Maybe they have included to much are but I follow that as a guide.
I have met a few expats living in the "danger zone" and they tell me they feel safe....until they don't...too late.
I think the guy staged his own kidnapping. Things are not quite adding up.
Do you mean Philippine government or American government?
Whatever the article said. Not sure what you are referencing Paul.
THIS CHANNEL IS THE EXACT SAME AS ALL THE OTHER CONTENT SEEN ON TH-cam
Not exactly, but I get your point Jammer. I started in 2015 and there are many dozens more doing YT now so lots of competition.
They cant get a wife in the states they lame
They can. Women in the States suck.
I rather get a woman from abroad than dealing with entitled woman empowered nightmare.
