My first two years living in Angeles City I developed a cough that was constant until the day I moved to Subic...within a week in subic I stopped coughing and have not had any upper respiratory issues the last 3 years....Occasionally I visit Angeles and within 24 hours I start coughing again ...I believe the cause is from the many residents burning their garbage in the early morning hours.....Subic has a breeze coming off the water but Angeles air is dead most of the time.
Hi Brian im happy for you that you don't have much trouble to close you bank account and hope you will be much better when you move thanks for sharing take care
I opened a BPI account in 2012 even though I was a visiting tourist. I just went with my Filipino sister-in-law who already had an a/c and it was simple. That was left unused with a small amount until 2016, when I moved to Metro Manila and started using it. Then I moved my monthly income from the UK to BPI - until BPI lost it! The UK bank verified they sent it but BPI did not put it into my account for 2 months. Another issue was when the UK bank made an error and sent my money twice - of course they asked BPI to return the second one, but BPI didn't and only added the first into my account. l only found out when my expected income the next month didn't arrive. The UK bank told me after I contacted them and I then put a strong written complaint into BPI. Now I only keep the BPI with small amount of peso, just in case. I had a Metrobank account at one time. When I closed that, it was simple. It only had to be empty and unused for a short while and they automatically closed it.
With you luck the maintenance fee will exceed the balance, and you may end up with a negative balance and possibly an overdraw fee at the same time, I hope it goes as you expect. I have a lack of trust of what people tell me in the Philippines because the story or rules change like the wind.
Second option letting it go dormant sounds better. At least you have a choice to activate it again if you ever go back to BPI. About the air quality here in A.C. I do believe it's polluted here. I keep my car in a covered garage, and it's open air at the sides. I would wash my car in the morning, not drive it all day. Then I would go out and see it in the afternoon and I would find a thin film of dirt on my entire car all over the glass and body. It's very noticeable. Thats the junk we breathe here. So yeah it's really polluted here in Angeles. You have a point Brian.
Curious about your Toyota Rush. Did you sell it? Did you have any issues. My wife and I are considering a used one but many are advising against because they are fazed out already. Thanks
We have the same phone bloke! I'm trying to open an account, BPI, haven't been helpful, won't get orf their collective bums, and get back to me. Still pleased as, you quit vapin back in Jan. Keep up the good work, and stay vertical Eh!
Just opened a Dollar debit account, along with my passbook dollar savings account. I also have a peso account. The one I just opened took maybe 15 minutes. No hassles.
I’m kind of surprised that USAA or Navy Federal don’t have an office there in country given how many of us retirees move to the Philippines. Especially since the US wants to reinstate either a large naval or Air Force presence somewhere around the old bases.
That would be a forward thinking idea if corporate ever thought about it.....But the "large Naval/Air Force presence" can never be a "permanent" contingent....only a rotational one based on the PH constitution.....(UNTIL China steps up their game)....for that reason, I think corporate would not see it as a money maker....but still a great idea!
@@egovorch some of the plans being proposed would be to rotate the destroyer groups in Hawaii, Japan and US west coast for 60-90 days at a time to Subic while keeping the military side of it under Philippine Coast Guard control.
Hello sir, I live in the province and for 5 weeks I've had the same cough. Never smoked, no signs of sickness except this cough. Usually bothers me at night when trying to sleep. If I find a cure I'll let you know LOL
hi Brian,,the national bank of philippines ,have branches here in the USA,,im going to talk to them and see if I can open a cash acc,and a peso acc, before i come to philippines in november,, thx for the video !
Hi Brian I'm a ex smoker, 100 grams a week roll your own, a few years back but i remember when I quit, I coughed for about 9 months after. Just a little tickle annoying as hell, I never thought it was going to end but it did that was about 14 yrs ago all worth it. I got to go to the Philippines a few times on the money i saved lol just saying it stops .
Go say bye to Anna before you leave. Tell her your subscribers wish her well. Good luck in the jungles. I mean how many banana trees or waterfalls can you post videos on ???
We, my wife and I, have 3 Philippine bank accounts, and a U S bank account. I’m not going to mention the banks involved, but there is a purpose for each one. Closing his account is probably a good idea. ATM fees, and bank fees for not using your banks ATM can add up I’ve had that same cough. I think it’s the high humidity.
You have to be a permanent resident. I've been here 18 months and my acr card sais tourist, so I can't open an account. The immigration department won't accept my American marriage certificate with my dual citizen wife. The only way I can get it certified is to go to Philippine embassy in Los Angeles.
How to open an account (when married to a Filipina & you have a tourist visa). BDO- you have to be in the Philippines for 6 months continuously. BPI-present your passport & your marriage license, but there is a caveat, we were married at City Hall in Iloilo in 2000. This marriage license is no longer valid, like WTF does that mean we are longer married? No, I had to get an updated marriage license from the Bureau of Statistics (don't recall the exact name of this agency so lets simply call it the BS). Either go to said bureau (done in a few hours) or you can also procure this document from SM store where you can pay bills ect ( it took 5 days.) & I think it was about P300 +P100 for a second copy of the updated marriage license. Don't forget to bring along all of your documents.
Tourist only your wiife or partner can open. Today it take a permanent visa like 13-A or retirement account to open paper to show where the money is coming from and social security number and o the government can be notified if you out more than $10,000 Zusd. Uncle biden wants his part.

I had a dry cough for about a year and went back to my old home town to get my drug script renewed and the local doctor looked at my previous prescription and asked me if I had a cough, I said yes and he told me that my 4 brothers all had the same symptoms and it runs through the family with a blood pressure tablet, I changed the brand and the cough went away and talking with my brother’s they told me that they all had the same symptom
My personal favorite is them asking you, no mind you Infront of the entire bank, what do want the money for? My money needs to be explained. They really suck.
I do too have a BPI account and it was so hard to open. I'm a U.S. citizen and was asking my SSN, passport etc. I would imagine it would be hard to close.
Brother Brian. Do you have a Faraday box? I thought about it when you were chucking all that stuff on your bed. I'm currently looking into it for various reasons. Cheers still watching you. God bless!
Your health will improve when you move out of angeles when I go there for a vacation I think I used about 2 packets of stepsile a day I never take a trike to sm anymore if you get stuck at the traffic light omg get yer gas mask out because it time to breathe the red diesel fumes off polluting gennie busses yukkk

Great show as always Brian!!
Glad you enjoyed it
In the cities in the Philippines there is air pollution from Jeepneys and tricycles and in the province from burning their garbage
Hi Brian im happy for you that you don't have much trouble to close you bank account and hope you will be much better when you move thanks for sharing take care
I wish you and the family safe travels, and a happy new life, keep safe and god bless
Thank you very much!
Don't move to the province. It's quality of life vs inconvenience in the province. You kids don't want to move. Think about them
It’s almost 🎉 time to move to a new chapter in your life 🎉
2012 was my first time in the Philippines to visit my girlfriend now wife. Time sure flies.

We have been with BPI for over 10years

The cough is from the nasty toxic fires that burn here in this toilet.

i never have any issues , walked to the bank, showed my passport and then wham bam thank you mad'm and done , got my savings account hahahah !!!!!
This Procedure Was Simple To Do But Difficult To Say 😂😂😂
I do too have a BPI account and it was so hard to open. I'm a U.S. citizen and was asking my SSN, passport etc. I would imagine it would be hard to close.
You just know that Murphy's law especially in the RP will somehow take effect in the long move your making...Cross your fingers...
im so happy for you..and so ingit...LOL
Most interesting.
At the beginning of the vlog, I thought you were packing for the province. Time to make like a banana and split from AC.
Hello Brian I may be stupid, but what is the difference between a CASH account and a PESOS account. Thank you.
Cash account has only usd in the account while a peso account has only peso in it.
Philly, 😉 Great information, ✔️
Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍
I'm coughing also last 3 weeks but Don't smoke
I saved all the boxes to!
me too. but your coughing shows your lungs are working again properly
There are other reasons for your coughing, Brian. Allergies, Pollution, and even GERD, aka acid reflux are possible causes.
I was told that my gerd may be causing my caugh.
@@PhillyinthePhilippines The throat becomes irritated from the acid reflux and it causes a cough. From one who knows!
The covenants from your long-term Covid Brother
Happen to me for a few years now never goes away
Long-term Covid effects
What is the difference between a cash - and a peso account ?
He means dollar account and peso account..I been living in the Philippines for 9 years and have not had a need for a dollar account
Yeah account will go dormant after it reaches a year's worth of fees
Cash Account ? Dollar Account ?
How long will it take for the check to clear at your new bank?
31 days for me at Commerce Bank
I was told 27 days for the check to clear
i open mine as a tourist i had 0 problems. dollar and peso
Brother Brian. Do you have a Faraday box? I thought about it when you were chucking all that stuff on your bed.
I'm currently looking into it for various reasons. Cheers still watching you. God bless!
