And the real irony? All of this could have been avoided with some common sense.
In many countries in Asia the contract is not worth the paper it is written on unless you can back it up (guns). I have friends that have made perfectly legal things where condos, houses or companies that have been co-owned or leased that have been lost. As long as you can pay your bribes you can process any documents, property transfer etc. You can not leave a business or property unattended and expect to find it in your possession when you come back.
The lucky ones walk away ALIVE

true
I have met 2 Americans that their wives tried to kill and know of a girl that killed her husband in Australia and got away with it by playing an abuse victim with no evidence of abuse.
Ninjaroo88 I've learned a long time ago common sense isn't all that common
you would think a 'doctor'/'dentist' would have some common sense...
He can at least file "ESTAFA" in the police station against this woman. This way she can't get a passport to travel overseas, more so to marry a foreigner because she needs an NBI clearance if she processes the fiancee visa in the future. These are the consequences she might pay in the future.
no he cant
She is also jailed until trail as Criminal Estafa is a non bailable offence
bad ass woman she scam the poor foreigner..dont worry what goes around will comes around..carma is the best revenge.
It's the same way in Mexico
Just find the right one and don't be stupid. My Filipina wife came to Canada, became a Canadian citizen when we we're dating, she did it on her own accord, I did not sponsor her and she earns way more than I do and she's the most generous, kind, loving, nurturing person I've ever known. In 10 years of marriage she's never nagged me once ever about anything. Find that in a western girl ......good luck !!
give her time she will be a bitch
Diamond 482 Congrats, u got urself a gem of a wife!
She sounds like me...
How did you meet her?
Such a sweet talk. That the girl had taken advantage of the poor doctor. You can't buy love . Unless you feel secured with what you really feels. Not of the money you sent.
A Filipina I met online needs $10000 to build a house. I think she loves me 😍❤❣💯
😂
Are you serious?
*Never send money to anyone*
Just imagine this is just a small snapshot on a focus area.. How many other barangays this goes on.. I get regular request for *our* future home continuously.
What :)?
These are really sad stories.these kind of women are giving the Philippines a bad reputation. I don't understand why foreigners are choosing poor gold digger Filipinas, Why not choose working middle class Filipinas?
So? You are saying you have your business plan set?
These foreign men only date filipinas in bars and red light district. That's already the gross warning. Well, decent filipinas has high standards as well and would be hesitant to date old expats.
Hey not All poor filipina are like that some filipina are using their physical appearance to win a guy and make him believe everything ..I have foreigner we have a child but I'm not doing like this but it's so sad stories coz the reputation of good filipina are damaged
some middle class,poor filipina do like that but not at all. American should be carefull giving money to poor or middle class filipina girl.
thats right we are not all rich, even though we make more money than most Filipinos, i dont think its funny!!!
Some are so stupid.I living 35 years here with a pinay and everything is going fine.
I will be in the Philippines in 3 weeks. I have been chatting with a few ladies online. Once the even suggest that I buy land and build a house, I block them instantly. I will rent indefinitely.
Same in Thailand but people still do it just rent then if a Kareoke pops up you can move easy. Clever girl with the last property.
On a most part your right. But you can have 49% of the ownership of the house which means if you break up your entitled to 49% of what ever the property is sold for. But you can own 100% of a condo or town house.
I know 3 guys from other SE Asian countries that lost all their savings to their wives misbehavior. Two of the 3 had friends warning them and they refused to accept it.
Wealth transfer for services "not rendered."
Hear so many stories! Same thing happened to me! I bought home in 2010 and never got to live there. And sold the home this year.
Last Nov. on a lay-over in Tokyo, I met a man who was going to meet his Philippina Girl-friend for the first time! He showed me an engagement ring, that would choke a horse! I told him to be careful, she might be married, or have a Philippine boyfriend, or even be a guy! I told him not to show the ring, until he knows her better! I don't know how it went!
Actually any foreigner can own a property but you have to go through all the hoops. If you are not married to a Filipino citizen, you can own a condo. If you are married to a Filipino citizen, you can own a property but only 40% of the house, but not the land. But if you are a foreign investor, as long as you have a Filipino partner you can own a house and lot (this is what my Swedish neighbor did).
Watched your video, horrified to hear people say "my" Filipina about the women in my country. There are a lot of intelligent, hard-working, decent Filipinas and they do not deserve to be referred to as 'something' other people can 'own'. Many of us can make a decent living without resorting to scamming others, thank you.
As in any other place--you have to be careful about the people you trust. And never 'pay your way' into what seems like a good relationship with anybody. Hope the victims in this video can 'live happily ever after' with better women--Filipina or not--in the future.
Just my two cents from Manila.
Well said! 👏👏👏
Please make your own video so I can learn more. Thank you for the comment. I have a feeling if you made videos, they would be watched by many many people.
This is very sad but true. This is why most of us hard working filipino/filipina is being mocked or generalize not only by americans but australians too.
I hope that those scammer filipina got their karma already for the easy money that they got.
Wooooo...my American bf now live in my house. Way back in America he has nothing left...he sell his house and returned his car to the company. Love is not all about material things guys.
The best is to have a child with Filipinos if you intend to buy properties here in PH. Look at expats who already have a family here. They are living the good life.
Lol same thing happened to my dad with a 300k dollar home but he got lucky and found out she was married before they got married and she was charged with beggary. Now stuck with a home now one owns
its another example of where people who come from wealthy generally decent and civilized societies are shocked by the actions of some who are from poor opportunistic and not so decent societies, especially when its by a young sweet thing who says they love you
Looking forward to part 3...my Filipina who took my house has an ice pick in her head.
Burn the house down right before your plane leaves 😂
That's what my neighbor did ..bank took it and before it went to auction....burned it to the ground!
Don't buy a house there, buy an apartment / condo instead, which foreigners are permitted to own in their own name. Or jusr rent. Renting is very affordable in the Phils.
You can't own the land but you can own the house sitting on the land. You can also purchase and legally own apartment condo.
I married American and I consult the lawyer in Philippines, I want to put the name of my husband,so that no one can easy him kick,because we have 1 child. The lawyer said I can put my husband name in the land title if we only married in Philippines or I need to report our marriaged here in America to Philippines consul so that it can transfer in Philippines record that we are married...
all relationships are like playing poker sometimes you win and sometimes you loose
That is true.
"Never send money to someone you never met" I will have to write that one down.
if you fall inlove.no doubt
Why can't the governments of UK, Australia, USA etc be like the poorer countries and not allow foreigners to property? Foreigners are buying up properties in Australia and USA. The base price for housing is being pushed up and up out of many Australian's reach.
that's why sometimes use (foriengners) your commonsense not all filipinas are sincere to their words,some are taking advantage of your wallet ha.ha.ha.. I think U are allowed to buy condo units only not land property.
Foreigners can legally own condos in multi unit buildings.
Never send money to anyone. Period. If she asks; you say no. If she leaves, it was never meant to be.
that is sad, some people cannot be trusted. im sad to hear that.
At least I now know not to send money to any philipina ! But I plan to go to the Philippines as a 100% disabled veteran and find a good lady and then bring her back to America ! Even though it is cheaper to live in the philipines ! Thanks for the imformation on the leasing and the owning of a house there in their country ! I also have to find out what it will take to start a new and different type of business over there ! And thanks again guy for the imfo ! I subscribed to your channel !
This story is not only happening in the Philippines but also in different part of the world as well, why would you send money to the person that you just met in the internet, basically your not using your head.
Careful Ned! That dog just wants your love and food!
In 1-2 years, the rent is better , but long term, family and children's i think only buy)
Perhaps Forrest Gump's mother said it best, "Stupid is as stupid does".
You know what I don’t understand is how these woman can’t be charged with fraud.
I feel sorry for the poor doctor. A Filipina or any female from other countries asking for money is a warning sign. Do not ignore the warning sign. A decent Filipina, yes there are still lots of them, wouldn't ask money from guys.
I've just watched ur video, sorry to hear how a few foreigners got scammed out their monies concerning real estate. As a foreigner, you can own a house & lot. But one must be dual citizen, this process is done through the Philippine Retirement Authority Office, (PRA). It's an agreement between the foreigners & Philippine government. There are 2 offices (in the Philippines), that I'm familiar with. Manila & Cebu. I recommend to go down this avenue before purchasing. In the event, the relationship goes sour.
you can put a lien against the property.
surely there is some sort of a Fraud case that could be brought against these type of people..
Foreigners can own condominiums in Ph
Goin to the Boston freedom rally and it made me think of you man, cheers family!
Just cancelled my house and broke off my contact , your video open my love soak eyes. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
It does not always end badly but just be cautious and at least take on Facebook chat video zoom pr something
Do not buy your new girlfriend a house. Do not build her family a new roof, new walls, new floor's, new water well. She is only your girlfriend as long as you are building things for her.
I have the money to help so, I have done those things to help the family. No, I have not and will not ever build a house. I agree with Mike at My Philippine Journey to help dig Gaile a well. Do only what you can afford. Don't ever expect anything in return. Things will not force anyone to love you.
They might stop loving Mike if they ask for something and he doesn't deliver!
+David Sibert you are right. like my american boyfriend he told me he want a big house but i told him i dont need a big house.. simple small house but full of love and respect inside. even no car its nice to walk together holding hands... find a woman that did'nt know how to demand. im so demanding but im just asking for pure love .. and honesty from him...
Ted Overton you are right.
Always make yourself more valuable alive than dead or around than not around.
No one ever owns property no matter where you are. Everyone is just the temporary custodian of property. When you die someone else gets it & when you don't pay taxes on your own property then the government seize it.
Exactly..If you "own" it then you shouldn't have to pay taxes on it
where is the money going to come from to fix that pothole in the road outside your house.
Workers are going to magically appear and fix it? Buy a small island somewhere, then you won't have to pay
property taxes.
Very well said

Sheikh YOLO True words
It does not happen only to foreigners. It happened to a friend of mine who is Filipino and who had a live-in partner who he had met in a club. He had a house where she resided with him. Before he knew it, her relatives started to move in and took over. At his breaking point, he went to borrow the shotgun of a friend and went home and started by shooting the rifle somewhere and shouted “if everybody here does not leave the house within 1 hour, I will shoot you guys down”. That did the trick and drove out all the squatters.
He was desperate and was successful to keep his house from being squatted on by his partners relatives.
Hi Ned. Mike at My Philippine Journey recently told a similar story. This type of thing happens everywhere and not just in the Philippines. I recently separated from my cute little Colombiana wife, who for the last 2 years, has tried her damnedest to scam the crap out of me. I was love struck and ignored the "DANGER" signs, like; she was never happy unless she was receiving money or gifts, mysteriously lost her diamond wedding ring, wanted her own car, and wanted a house in her name. Fortunately, I made her sign a pre-nuptial agreement, never gave her access to my bank accounts, never bought her that car or house, and learned to say "NO". We Guys get blinded by our need for love and that makes us very susceptible to putting our trust and faith into someone who has other intentions. We have to trust our instincts and know how to "NO" and if she gets mad when you say “NO”, then get rid of her, quick. In the end, I consider myself lucky to have only lost a little bit of money and some time, but it could have been much worse. John
Some people come in your life as blessings, others come in your life as lessons.
Stupid is as stupid does
So many of us older gents are hardwired to be 'simps,' then a nasty breakup and/or divorce comes, and we question our attitudes toward women. None deserve to be put on a pedestal, while we, as men, self-ridicule and shame ourselves. As a man we should hold our woman accountable, no matter how good the sex. ;)
huh!!lot of nega comments. gold diggers are everywhere, not only in our country.
A lot of career woman Filipina doesn't care how much money you have. because they can earn it. cheers!!
coffee bean These ugly oldies won't get good career woman or they don't like regular well behaved woman. They want the wild sex machine bar girls.
So true, they pick the girls who can only spend money, no skills other than that...then complain when they do what they always do - spend and deceive! And the guys think they're the victims, lol.
The truth is that Filipina civilians are mercenary also...don't think so??? Come see for yourself.
@@lancer89032 what??
Coffee bean, I just laughed so hard that snot came out my nose. I have never seen a Filipina that didn’t care about money and the appearance of money.
That's absolutely bad idea of sending money.whom you haven't met before ..
It's a shame for my own country and to my own people. I know all Filipino aren't the same. But I hate the system that I am also being drag on this kind of stuff. My husband and I were not going to buy a property under my name because I am filipina unless I will put my own money with it. I am happy both of us have own freedom in our own property.
Off topic, the law of a foreigner not allowed to purchase land or property is good for the native inhabitants of the country. There's a place in Canada where most of the properties are owned by Chinese nationals & now the Canadians couldn't buy it back due to high cost in real estate value. It's happening now too in some parts of the US.
I am in agreement with you Henry. On the whole I do believe it does work out better and likely fosters less ill will from Filipinos.
That has always been my feeling. If Americans, French, Italians Japanese etc. could buy property/land... every inch of every inhabitable island would be sold and owned by a foreign national. I know I would own a few acers in Tagaytay. My house and lot would be between my German neighbour and my Finnish neighbour. However, I question if this would really be a bad thing for the Philippines. More tax revenue and people beautifying the place. Working toward getting the garbage off the streets and taking pride in their homes. I am really not sure.
bloodandwinearered Good point; but let's consider the locals or natives. Real Estate will rise astronomically and the locals will not be able to afford to buy properties. You wouldn't want that to happen in your own country.
Henry Chinaski While I see your point as the correct point of view, I still have been doing thinking on the matter. I hate to sum it up like this but... the problem with the Philippines is Filipinos. I would never put up with living among hungry people. as Filipinos do. I would work to make a difference. The truly poor, will not be buying any house or lot anyway. I think, perhaps, foreign ownership could change the PH for the better. I will continue to think about my position.
+bloodandwinearered In my observation filipinos that do have decent salaries have many dependents that they take care of and there is a lot of neighborhood meal sharing that goes on that might be missed from casual inspection.
Mostly I think it is lack of affluency that keeps most from doing anything much the same way in other countries. It is easy to provide food/money when your not jeopardizing your own well being.
Good thing I met my fillipina through her auntie who was living in the United States, the first five months of our courting she never asked a dime from me. When we met in Philippines and got to know each other I stayed and asked her to merry me.
That house maybe 1 million pesos a drop in the bucket for the dentist. Really the Filipino lady scammed her self if she would've married the DR. she would be set for life!
Yeah, but it was important to her to show her family and friends that she was so sharp...She probably goes to church too. Prays for some more suckers to come her way.
@Ileana or maybe she has an ice pick in her head?
Hope she loses 10 fold
I have no sympathy what so ever for the idiots that send thousands of dollar overseas to girls they hardly even know...sometimes have never even met in real life....and then lose it all. It blows my mind how people can be so stupid. Rent is so cheap in the Phils...why even consider buying in a country where you can't legally own a property
Good points.
i completely agree, if you send money to someone who you have never met in person, then get ripped off, well thats your own stupid fault im afraid!
Even if they've actually met the person (Woman), it takes a lot more than a few weeks to actually know someone enough to trust them with large amounts of money, and that cannot include skype, online chat or phone calls. Some guys are just too gullible for a pretty girl :D
Some of them don't have friends and are trying to buy friendship that way, so if a girl wanna take it further, it is even better. To give is to live, so they say out there.
I'm married to a trustworthy loving wife ..from the Philippines. dude we got to know each other well before we married ,women could screw you in your own country it doesn't matter where they are from . I think you are one of those guys who doesn't have a woman and base everything on your money. Not everyone is a con artist pal.
I met my Filipina online as well. Never asked me for a single peso until we were fairly along in the relationship and after I went to meet her and her family once. A few months later I went to see her again.........we never shared a room together during our long courtship until our wedding night several months after my second visit. From the first chat she was who she said she was and never demanded money for a house and lot from me. We have been married eight years and she is sending her own money earned from her own job to Phil. to feed the family and pay bills, etc. She and I will contribute together to the building of the house there, and we will live in it together when its finished, with the family of course which is ok by me. I have lived together with them before in the rented-land family nipa hut for months at a time, they need a real house and I want a real place to stay when we visit.
It doesn't work that way for all though...you were lucky.
She takes the house I built I'm going to burn it down!
I’m with 1 atm always sends cash overseas while we’re broke horrible mate

Ouch! Men who's planning to go to the Philippines should watch your channel first before making a move.
The Philippines is a good country to find a loyal loving and caring wife. In the pursuit of happiness always be street smart, use the brain and never the heart. Love, loyalty and trust can never be bought. It can only be cultivated and enjoyed with mutual trust .Love and Financial security is a very important component in a relationship.
Not all Filipina where the same so if you meet someone and asking money you must know it already that Filipina was just want your money.. Find someone who will help you to build life.. And if you found her take her with you don't stay close to the family..
The thing is with these kinds of scams, as Ned said, the men are slowly drawn into it, their ego fed the whole time by a clever appeal their role as "savior," made to believe they're in love, etc. The ones who ask for money right off the bat because it's their birthday and they don't have a cake - even idiots should be able to figure that out.
Ian Martin EXCUSE ME!! We are not the same those who are doing that are greed, crazy people. I am also a Filipino but I hate that kind of people. My bf is also a foreigner buy I never asked anything from him especially mone. I am Working and I know a lot of things... I can work and I will work for my family.. for your information I have lots of relatives, friends who's husband, bf and fiancé are foreigners too and they're having a nice life living together for many years now
+Ian Martin im sorry to hear that but some foriegner are very unlucky to find a good hearted filipina woman.. i have an american boyfriend and he bought a house for me to but i am the one who told him not a big house small simple but we live happily..before stop working abroad i talk to all my relatives once i married my americzn boyfriend i have nothing to help them coz i dont want to used my boyfriend money for them ... im not that bad to treat my family like that but i dont want to be called a user or gold digger....
Ian Martin - the statement is too generalised there buddy .. for you to make that call would indicate that you would have to know most of the filipina's in the Philippines to make such a statement. Do you know every filipina in the Philippines -- because Martin, with your generalised and unfair statement, the door swings both ways -- Filipina;s can make the same statement about Foreign men .. "Nearly all Foreign men that come to the Philippines are horny old men that cannot find a partner in their own country and exploit the countries poverty stricken filipina's with their retirement money" ... now Ian Martin, is that statement fair? are you one of these old horny foreign men buy young pussy and young love? .. if not, then the statement is not true .. and neither is your statement that "nearly all filipina;s are gold diggers and scammers ....
Aditya Yeole calling me idiot will not make you smart girl!! As if in western countries no scammer and even in your own country... why? Do you live in heaven no bad people??? i'm not explaining I'm saying the truth excuse me you call me idiot as if you know me and telling me fighting with other people why that post was pass 1 month ago my good ness read any comments did i fight NO... people like you where so low so bye bye this will be my last comment for you.. patingin ka sa doktor.

When they come, they're wet and wild. But when they leave, they take your house and your car.
Aren’t you SEXIST?!?! Women??? Please- NOT ALL WOMEN are after “The Money!”. Keep in mind, Men can be, too! Sin accommodates ALL GENDER Roles. It’s rather vile and revolting for you to make such a comment based on “Lack of Discernment”. Hope you find peace and Healing.
Hahaha! Good one. 10/10 🖒🖒🖒
Lulz
Rex Madrigal 😂 good one
🤣🤣 that should be this video's title, lollll!
I think the 1 year rule should apply and everyone should have a 1 year rule and stick to it.... The 1 year rule says this ... Do not make any major money decisions until you have lived in the Philippine's for at least 1 year or have been living with a girl for 1 year ... Tell your girlfriend she has to be with you for at least 1 year before you start opening up the bank vault ... I see so many guys getting scammed and they do not know there getting scammed until the girl is gone = That is the way a scam works ... The guy's fall in love and stop obeying there own rules that they set for themselves and they make an excuse of why it is ok to break the rule that they no should not be broken o;-)
I can bring a pinoy to Canada and legally marry him. (The marriage would not be recognized in the PH) He would get CDN citizenship. But, if he does not stay with me for two years, he loses that citizenship as it is clear he only married me for the citizenship and not out of any love or commitment.
Gary Alan Live in relationship still not acceptable in other parts of the Philippines... Most filipino parents will not allow their siblings to live together outside the sanctity of marriage....but don`t get me wrong i dont see anything wrong w/ 2 people living together as long as they`re matured enough to handle their relationship ...
best thing do live with them have kids. don,t buy any land are house tell kids get older then put in kids names then don,t worry about it .
@@rebeccaferry6830I see quite the opposite here in Mindanao, all live in partners, no one is married except some of the pinays with foreigners. Don’t see any of the Filipino couples getting married unless they are somewhat wealthy. The lower and middle class are all just living together.
actually you cannot own more then 40%. So best thing to do is buy a condo in a large building and it is YOURS. you just dont own but a fraction of the entire building. of course this probably means living in Manila which is overcrowded polluted.
come to cebu city there are a lot of condos here for those who can afford to buy
Well it has been done and besides once I am dead I could give not on crap what happens after.
There are condos in Dumaguete, many places really. All overpriced. Much better to rent.
Thailand is the same. No way I'm getting into a situation like that !!!!! I hope
Gill Lawson when u get old, and desperate...you will go that route
they deserve the lesson
if you can't buy legally in your name, don't buy it, just get a condo
Ned. That's an extremely valuable video lesson you just posted. I say never send money to anyone anywhere if you haven't meet them in person. As the con artists say in the movies. We did not steal your money, you gave it to us.
I always find it funny when guys say "my Filipina", removing the personality and reducing her to a nationality. I'm sure girls talk the same way, "get yourself an American", but it's equally distasteful.
Removing not just the personality but the humanness (if there exist a word). Like saying my car, my bag, my house - it denotes ownership of an object. Can't even be bothered to say her name, like a new interchangeable acquisition devoid of any worth.
@@DV-jo7us Politically correct.
I live in Thailand and the same happens here too. But even though most foreigners think that only they are the victims, they are wrong. Golddiggers don't discriminate. It happens to Thai men as well. Nobody respects you for spending a lot of money. People think you are stupid doing so and take advantage of it. You gain respect if you can control your money.
i am a filipina....
not all filipina is bad...some are decent like me....
some filipina never ask money to boyfriend.any form of gifts...
in the first place,if a girl wants money a filipina , you know it is a red flag .money..
...she loves you because of money...
not because of you...
next time be smart enough...
lot of girls out thier,who wants love from thier boyfriends not money..maybe you are just unlucky who meet a gold digger a user...
wherever she is now maybe Karma is coming in her way..
@Thelondonbadger Nope! Speak 4 urself. I still believe in humanity. There are good ppl out there.
100% cristy , not all are like this , they are very loving and loyal to who they love
That a foreigner can’t legally own property in the Phils is correct.
But having been married to a sincere and honest Philippino for almost 11 years and having lived there for 3 years my advice in regards to this issue is as follows.
When purchasing land/house seek the advice of a reputable attorney.
He should ( if genuine ) advise you that when purchasing real estate that the names of the wife/partner and yourself needs to be entered into the deeds of both parties.
This in effect means that one party cannot sell without the consent of the other.
This step is ultimately crucial when investing in the Philippines.
P.S. This I was not aware of until my attorney Filipina wife alerted me to this fact.
Be cautious, be astute and be well informed.
Best of luck.
Caveat: Make sure that you retain a valid copy of all documents relating to the property❗️
Excellent advice! And congrats on ur marriage with a smart, highly educated, non golddigger, sensible woman (see, there's more than 1 of us). It's called "Conjugal Property", all properties will be in that category in the absence of a Prenup.
Very good video and its amazing that someone did not educate them selves about the laws and how you are not protected.I would only go for vacations and maybe help someone by helping them out to get educated so they could get employed and provide some support for a life for themselves and be friends...When there is no commitment than if it goes sour thn nothing gained and nothing lost for both parties.But there are some decent females out there that would like to have a secure lifestyle...
Love makes people do stupid things. It's an age old story repeated time and time again.
I have no sympathy for the guys that send money, PT Barnum said it best *"A fool and his money are soon parted"*
the main reason why foreigners can't own property in the Philippines is because of buy- back problems. foreigners being foreigners, there is a big probability that they would leave, and the Philippine peso purchase power is nothing compared to the standard US dollar. if foreigners can own property anywhere here in the Philippines,there will come a time when there would be nothing left for us Flips to buy and own, and we couldn't even afford to buy back the houses being put by foreigners if they do decide to leave, so that would leave us squatters in our own land. I do favor PRRD's proposal to set off some land (or island) that foreigners can own for business purposes (or whatever), so they can set up their own local laws (subject to our constitutional laws, of course), so that they don't encroach on the locals' expanding needs
True that!: If we could buy property here, the majority of the acreage (hectarage) would all be foreigner owned.
Chinese and Korean flags EVERYWHERE!
I thought "flip" was considered to be a derogatory term for pinays. Educate me. ;)
@@fazbell I don't get offended by that term. My take is it's short cut for Flip Flops w/c we like wearing. Also from laughing a lot & our weird sense of humour. Imho
The Philippines is not alone having laws preventing foreign ownership of land and property in full or in part (condos the exception). It makes sense for a poor nation like the Philippines to do this otherwise in short time the Chinese and other foreign investors would buy up everything - inside three generations the Philippines would be a nation occupied and owned by others.
theres some silly guys out there
Even FAKE Love 'll make you do Crazy Things... It could have been a Man or a Girl/ BB boy on the other end of the Net.. Peace..!!!
Chinese are damaging House Markets in US, Canada & Australia.. & Maybe The Whole World..!!!
And here I am trying to make every dollar stretch while some idiots make enough to continue being idiots
Can u dig it SUCKERS!!!!!!!😃😅
You're going to read below some Filipinos defending their own by saying that not all Filipinas are like that. I have lived here for 16 years and can say that it is true - not all Filipinas are like that.
I live in a province and I can say that I hear 5 to 6 cases every year where foreigners got taken like this each year. Some of those stories would scare you naked!
My point is... Although not all do it but enough do it that one would be wise to take these warnings seriously. Many of the locals have seen how some scamming women have deceived a foreigner and made out good and are inspired to do the same. I am American and I never heard such stories so often on a regular basis as I have here in the Philippines. These types of stories are not rare here.
BEWARE
Spot on! Tnx for bringing astute, objective & reliable points in this thread.
What bothers me is that my country allows Filipinos to buy as much land as they want but I can't buy any land at all in the Philippines. I understand why the Philippines doesn't want foreigners to be able to buy land but if it's going to be like that...the policy needs to be the same for Filipinos abroad.
Mike Smith and most of us are middle class in about 20 yrs living in ur country.. we know how to earn money.. hahaha
Think about it. There are a lot of rich Filipinos who has fleeced the Filipinos go amass their fortune and are sending it to the USA, Canada to buy land. In that respect, the Philippines is losing out.
Mike Smith good luck with your "loser attitude"
Mike Smith ... Trump needs to level the playing field.
If the PH allows us to buy land there then we could own the PH. I would name it the "foreigners nation inc."
Give a woman $200 usd early on in the relationship...............then a few days later ask her to return to you $100 usd of it and see what happens............................it may be the best $200 u ever spent
not many of them know how to budget because tey never had money to budget in first place. So that $200 probably be gone before you can ask for half of it back. her and her cousins etc etc used it all up.
Patience..... No rush.......just be patient and learn to know the lady to avoid scammers...
Why is the reverb always turned up to 11 on the videoke machine?
My Filipina stole my house ??? You know that foreigners are not allowed to owned landed property. Why did you construct one ? Under such circumstances, the best thing is to RENT. Let time pass n see the real colour of your Filipina. Life has been kind to you otherwise you would be very careful with your money. People say easy come easy go. The irony is do you think you can owned something eternally ? The moment RIP, everboyy would be six foot below ground n all will be forgotten soon.
scamming can happen ANYWHERE in the planet...
LOOK NO OVERSEAS PERSON (EXPATS) CAN OWN LAND IN THE PHILIPPINES, YES YOU CAN BUILD AND OWN A HOUSE, BUT THE LAND IS ALWAYS OWNED BY THE FILIPINA OR FILIPINO THAT THE LAND IS PAID FOR UNDER THEIR NAME, SO IN OTHER WORDS YOU PAID FOR A HOUSE TO BE BUILT FOR THE OWNER OF THE LAND! SO IT IS REALLY THEIR HOUSE SO THAT IS NOT THEFT, YOU ARE OR WERE SUCKERED BY PAYING TO HAVE IT BUILT!!!! LEARN THE LAWS OF THE PHILIPPINES BEFORE YOU PAY FOR ANYTHING!!!! I AM MARRIED TO A FILIPINA AND HER COUSIN IS A JUDGE AND WE TALKED AND HE TOLD ME THAT EVEN IF YOU HAD A WRITEN DEAL OVER THE PROPERTY IT MEANS NOTHING HE SAID IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE LAND BEING OWNED BY HER! HE SAID IF YOU HAD SUCH PAPERS SIGNED AND YOU WENT TO COURT YOUR JUST TOSSING AWAY MORE MONEY FOR THE COURT COSTS, AND BECAUSE YOUR AN OVERSEAS PERSON THE COURTS WILL CHARGE YOU A LOT MORE THEN A FILIPINO WOULD PAY! AND IF YOU PISS OFF THE JUDGE HE CAN SEND A LETTER TO THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE TO HAVE YOU REMOVED, HE CAN USE MANY REASONS TO HAVE YOU REMOVED AND BANNED FROM GOING BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES!! SO WATCH YOUR STEP AND YOUR MONEY AND NEVER TRUST A LAWYER THERE BECAUSE THEY ARE AFTER YOUR MONEY TOO AND THEY WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU WHAT HE THINKS YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM!!!AND HE IS RIGHT STAY AWAY FROM MARRIED WOMEN THERE IS NO DIVORCE THERE AND AN ANNAULMENT COST TO MUCH FOR THEM TO GET. SO NEVER FALL FOR IT OR A MARRIED WOMAN.
I believe that we should not call our girlfriends or Wives who are from the Philippines "My Filipina." At least not in public. If that is your pet name for her that is ok in private. I feel that it is a very demeaning term. We would not call our wife who is from Mexico "Our Mexican." Would we? Using that term implies ownership or servitude. Just my opinion.
shawn watt thank You for analyzing and correcting most American man who have a Pilipino partners always used that terms just like what you said horrible 😥🌸😰
Ileana so true, old fools act worst then kids
Mr. Watt, you obviously haven’t listened to rap music.
Ileana well said!
It doesn't work that way here....the good thing about Filipinos is they are not insane, as in taking offense to every little thing.
Offcourse that young meat isnt free.... its the same in any western world.
True.
some where, there is a dentist pulling his own teeth. guys, always ask them for their home address and spend 35 u.s. dollars and send them flowers. this will show you better if she is telling you the truth and wait to see how she describes you on her facebook. ooh look, i got these today from a friend. no name. and see if she will post the card with it with your name on it, if not, then she is hiding you from her other friends with no name.
My goodness... Or better yet... don't send any money that you can't afford to lose..
well said
Know the local law... foreigners cannot own land in the Philippines obviously.... tou can lease...the property will be in the name of the Philippine woman...all the foreign can do is to have his name icluded in the title mr foreigner AND mrs Philippines so that the woman cannot just sell the property own her own...the signature of mr Foreigner is needed to sell the property... but the foreigner can own a Condominium unit under his name. Know the local law...Trust only God...
Many of you are complaining about your pinay wife or gf.then why don't you marry an american woman or if you've been married one and end up divorcing her,what could be the reason.you know not only pinay or any asian woman has it's bad side,I think all woman in any place on earth has its own share of good and bad .likewise with men.i am married to an american man our age gap is only 2 yrs but I cannot say that he is the perfect husband .stereotyping asian to the fullest hah
becos they have sex with your best friend and give u both a rash? then u move out and they illogically try to blame ur girlfriend even if she was afterward? just a hypothetical reason.
i guess u want to stay with your hubby cause he will take care of u for the rest of ur life instead of taking his money and he will take off, better just stay with him and take his money slowly.
@Hanc causam offerimus in mundo order that's gotta be the biggest truckload of BS!! I am Spanish Filipina who lived overseas for many yrs & I am a true, red-blooded Filipina. I say go back to school or at least travel.
because America woman forget to wash the pussy. Very bad smell like a fish market that had a power outage in the mid summer.
Eh, I'm sure he could afford to lose those few thousand dollars after a career as a legal criminal, being a doctor or a dentist, and the insane overcharging that they do, here in the U.S. Probably a little taste of sowing what you reap, if you ask me.
What a stupid and retarded answer. Blame it on the political system instead. Or blame it on yourself. If you and your countrymen wouldn´t pay the high prices each time you go to your dentist etc they wouldn´t have any business anymore. Then why don´t you just do that? If they are just following rules in their business then it´s fucked up to say that being scammed in the Philippines and defacto having your house stolen is justified. Furthermore I don´t think we are just talking "a few thousand dollars" here. Things are not free in the Philippines either, especially not building / buying a house of a certain standard.
Having purchased a home with my wife, and seeing the homes in Ned's video, I would estimate the homes are in the $35k to $50k range.
Hopefully it was the same dentist who killed Cecil the lion in July. 😝
Dentists are bad people.
Right..$4000 for a "partial" or some small piece of one
I just sent $1.000 to a pretty girl named Mi Sohony, just because she said she'd love me long time. Sounds legit, no? ;-)
Can you imagine all the Sailors, who sent A LOT of money to Female since WW2, Just Because they Asked for it..??? If He Sent that Money to China, it would have Been A Dude on the Other Side living high on his Money... The Shanzhai = Mountain Bandits of China.. Narcissistic Totaljtarian Vicious Greedy World.. Love Self, Protect Life, Peace...
Tom in the Philippines n
Never trust a girl that asked for money...
Tom in the Philippines yes very legit.
beauty queen :))))
wht a shame that's stupid there's no such a thing sending money to a woman u really don't know hardly...why are u sending money to someone u do not quite know!!!
should of gotten a Christian one .if one asks for money so quickly that's a red flag. My girlfriend is Filipina also and she is so nice .she doesn't want nothing fancy at all not all Filipina are like that
90%+ of Filipinas are Christian, it means absolutely nothing.
One of mine was a Christian who went to church and she was pure evil.
Wrong. I know a so called "Christian Filipina" Evil as satan himself.
Psychopaths LOVE church.
@@infiltr80r no. They are Catholic. Google is your friend.
Ned, you know damn well who the mangy dog is! Anyway, in these few cases, these guys did not do their due diligence. They thought with their hearts and not with their brain in their head. It's sad, but fools come a dime a dozen. It's an expensive lesson learned. Don't get me wrong, I feel for the guy, but he should have pumped the brakes and thought this through.
I seriously don't know that dog.
Angel doesn't like him one bit....
Philippine Dreams
Angel is smart. Ned, my advice would be too stay away from the dogs that look mangy, lost, confused, angry, and looking for a friend or daddy figure. It's nothing but trouble in the end. ; )
