      Great video EVAN! Buying a property in a foreign land can be very challenging. The process can be meandering as compared to acquiring here in the US, for instance. I've gathered, there are stories of scammers who pose as sellers, fixers etc. Buyers beware, and do their due diligence when in search for property ownership. I was wondering if you can make a video on how to buy in Pi. Thank you.

      sta. rosa city in laguna province, offers a wide variety of middle to upscale subdivisions developed by ayala (nuvali alone has at least 20 subdivisions most of which are low-density developments), megaworld, vista land, greenfield development corp., etc.
      sta. rosa offers both "provincial living" (fresh air, near tagaytay & the beaches of batangas) & yet close to modern ammenities (numerous malls, modern hospitals, prestigious schools, recreational facilities, etc.).

    Thank you for showing the pros and cons of living in the Philippines in a realistic manner that foreigners, especially Americans, can relate to. It's not the place for everyone, but if you can overlook the cons and merge into the local mentality, then you'll probably be happy. If one has the means, the best of both worlds would be to have a vacation home in the RP and another home elsewhere in the world, but that is only for the lucky few.

      These subdivisions have existed for a very very long time now, we also have middle class neighborhoods, the only reason why foreigners aren't aware of these places is because you wouldn't be allowed in if you weren't invited by a homeowner. Another reason is because foreigners aren't allowed to purchase or own land in the Philippines, therefore you're not really the target market of these properties, as a foreigner you could only purchase a condominium unit. If you would like to stay in these large mansions, then your only option is to rent them.

    Always reminds me of the Bruce Springsteen song, Mansion on the Hill. But since it's still in the Philippines, inevitably you have low water pressure, blackouts, flooded streets, poverty, etc., at the next corner, horrible traffic, etc. Also, I was shocked to see a German Shepherd caged (only enough for it to turn around) outside the gates of those houses. It's not shown in any of these videos.

In Australia 90% of the wealth is in the bottom 95% hands, Filipinos really need to get rid of the leaders they have and get new ones. The whole country appears to be about squeezing money out of the poverty struck people, pay them nothing, give them nothing, I’m no communist or socialist but this type of top heavy privilege leads to revolution.
