Having lived in Japan, Korea 🇰🇷, Kuwait 🇰🇼, Saudi Arabia, Marshall Islands 🇲🇭 🏝 and my favorite the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️. I was stationed at the old Clark Air Base (Angeles), Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️ back in 1991 at age 28. It was to me good then. I know now it is great. I am currently age 61,widower and all my children are grown now. My plan next year 2025, is to return and retire there. Eventually, I will utilize the American Military 🪖 Philippines 🇵🇭 sponsored SRRV program. Having a study income is the best for retirement in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I do not know everyone going to the Philippines to live. I just know I served my country America in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Now, time for my reward. Thank you for this video. GOD SPEED PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭.
Was in the P.I. last year for 6 weeks…… basically a reconnaissance trip. Clark AB brought back many great memories along with Angels. Will be relocating back within the next 6 months on a permanent basis. Peace/Cheers
Thank you for your service. 1990-1991? That's when the 🌋 erupted. I was a sophomore in Clark AB. My dad served in USAF during that time. I am a proud USAF brat, now a USAF retiree myself. I am going to PH next week for 3 months to see if I can survive the heat before committing to live there.
I’m glad to hear you calling BGC as a “Paradise”. I’m a Fil-Am here in Las Vegas, and after living/worked in another country in addition to USA and with all the insanity going on here right now in our politics, the crazy immigration and the illegals crossing the border without being vetted and socio-economic issues, your video makes me reevaluate on retirement here in America. I love this beautiful country 🇺🇸 but you are absolutely right about your comparison about the crime rate here especially in big cities versus the beautiful culture and low crime rate we have there in the Phils.❤ And you are right, Philippines is not perfect but it has so much to offer as well. Thank you so much for your amazing videos. 😁🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Immigrants have been crossing the border into this country for hundreds of years. It’s only a problem now because stupid people listen to a loudmouth con artist spew his lies. The country is falling apart because there are too many gullible uneducated easily manipulated fools in this country.
The Philippines has a lot to offer if you have money to burn. That's why a lot of Americans wants to spend their Holidays in east Asian countries so they can stretch their dollars compared traveling to European countries. And amongst the east Asian countries the Philippines has the advantage because majority of the population can communicate well in English.
My choice is Province in the Island of Biri Northern Samar. Beautiful beach, less noisy, less pollution. I owned my small beach home in paradise. RET USAF, i will live a comfortable like.
Starbucks here in Cali (as of May 2024) averages $6 - $8 dollars for a coffee drink...WTH! Last time I was at BGC, I stopped by Jamba Juice and got 3 medium smoothies...all for less than 10 bucks! That would be close to $30 at my home town in Cali. Time to move there! LOL!
I'm always excited to watch this channel.Happy people makes the world better and satisfiying to live.Make smile everyday you will be healthier.👍🥰❤️🙏🏻🇵🇭
Welcome Brian to our paradise homeland, Pilipinas! I new subscriber here from Siquijor Island, Dumaguete, Just be kind and respectful to our people and with emphaty and generous to our less fortunate ones, surely We will support your channel and millions subscribers will come your way 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊
I must say the video looked better when you switched from the go pro. Enjoy Manila and keep hydrated! It’s a scorcher over there! I watch your awesome vids everyday from California. Stay positive and keep doing what you do!
I still don't understand why the monsoon gets such a bad rap. The absolutely scary dark nimbus clouds and freaky downpours is what I love the most about the Philippines. I'm visiting every year now, it reminds me so much of my childhood.
I miss BGC I used to work there for Wells Fargo when they outsourced their IT Project management to the Philippines but we were laid off because they transferred their IT project management to India. I remember my work to start around 8 in the evening and ends up at 5 AM (our office is connected to the Uptown Mall). the BGC of five years ago since I was there has changed a lot based on the videos I'm seeing
Have any questions let me know ..... American here living and driving and loving it !!!! Since 2011 dayuuum it's been a long time. Love Uptown and BGC just like L.A and Orange County, Taco Bell is here hahahahahahahaha Cubao and Trinoma Mall if ever .........................but good to see U.S leaving U.S to the Philippines !!! Niceeeeeeeeeeeeee
I stayed in BGC during my last visit. I am motivated to walk daily and fascinated about the place. I don’t understand why people call BGC not the real Philippines? So people there are not Filipinos? Maybe What they really mean is the other side of Philippines?
Hi Brian, I am a new follower. I love watching your video. Thank you for sharing. You have a very good blog. I am watching in Washington state my husband name is Brian too. I am a Filipino and my husband is an American two years. We are going to retire in the Philippines. I love my country. I love my people living in the Philippines is cheaper. enjoy your stay and have a wonderful day😮
I'm always fascinated when our fellow Americans refer to everything outside America as "3rd world". Im guessing they haven't been outside America. I plan on living outside America when I retire in 2026. Im debating on both Thailand and Philippines. I think I may spend 3-4 months in both countries and then make my way back to the States and turn around and repeat the process; we shall see
It eventually will. Already happening in Mexico and local Mexicans are getting priced out due to Americans flocking there. Just a matter of time Philippines will become less affordable.
Correct! Too many foreigners coming here will cause inflation and in turn will lead to xenophobia and calls by Filipinos to limit the entry of foreigners to the country.
First time on your channel and I’m subscribing. I’m going to make the big move out there. You’re right about the changes in the U.S. it will eventually be remedied but I like your calm demeanor. Thank you for the tour.
Yoi are just smart to stay away from here bro! You got a good life and sunshine and live like a king and no stress chasing time here to go fucking work!
Funny you said that about the american dream. Glad to hear another American that's here say it because my latest video is about just that and it's getting a lot of angry Americans commenting lmao Good vlog too, Bonifacio global city looks nice of course. Also the pocket 3 is great, I've been using it on my channel upgraded from the pocket 2 and it's worth the investment for your videos. The 1 inch sensor makes a big difference and the color science is much better than the pocket 2
Unless you’re independently wealthy or earning US dollars from a us employer a lot of young Americans are going to regret moving to the Philippines and forgoing earning their social security for later years. But to each his own.
Just want to correct you that in the country side you get more free medication and consultation including the medicines compared to the city. You can also get free operations etc. What I want to say is you get more privileges living in the provinces. ✌️😘
Yup BGC's American vibe cities without the homeless..Right..but still prefer the province life me and my aussie partner building a beach house there.It's very expensive in Australia now specially Sydney.Not fun😢
Not for nothing but wearing black in the tropical heat doesn't help. It absorbs heat making you feel even hotter...literally. LOL! Might want to opt wearing maybe white, if not other bright or light colored tees.
America today is nothing but chaos. Our rice festival last Saturday was close down by the police after it opened because there were people walking around with guns. The police said that the law prohibit them to question people with guns.
It’s still largely 3rd world developing country. It’s only “opposite” in the upscale affluent areas which is NOT an accurate picture of the Philippines.
@@culturechangers5911 The real meaning of "3rd world" is a country which was neutral during WW2. First world is any nation with the allied forces, 2nd world those countries affiliated with the Axis powers. So historically speaking, the Philippines is a 1st world.
My living experience is opposite to yours. I was born, grew up, and finished university in the Philippines. Worked in the Philippines for 3 years, then went on to live and work in San Francisco, Amsterdam, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, The Marianas, Vancouver B.C., Paris, Chicago, Wyoming, LA, San Diego, San Jose, Portland, Mactan..etc This is a wonderful world. I hope China does not spoil it. Going back to the Philippines to live is no longer an option. I will just follow you to relive those best days of my life living in the Philippines.
Viewers, Philippines is great. However, where’s he’s at… is a plastic Mall life prison area… go out and see and stay in the plethora of islands and other cities. Manila is a massive city, with insane traffic, and where he’s walking around….you have that crap wherever you’re already coming from. Get out and see the real geographies and islands which ARE the real Philippines. His area is a bubble with extreme poverty all around it. Philippine ppl are great but how many high rises and malls do you wanna see if you’re visiting the Philippines…. go explore this great country.

Gen. Douglas McArthur and Gen Dwight Eisenhower used to live in the Philippines. I'll be there in a few months.
It's so hot out there so better bring an umbrella with you. Men also use umbrella in the Philippines. The sun doesn't discriminate.
I'm so happy that you find peace and happiness in our humble country.
Visit Venice Gand Canal Mall and OKADA too.
Brian the lion roaming around bgc. I love the voice quality & poetic narration. Mabuhay !
I'm always excited to watch this channel.Happy people makes the world better and satisfiying to live.Make smile everyday you will be healthier.👍🥰❤️🙏🏻🇵🇭

Love BGC and really miss that place to keeping around again ❤❤

💯 🎯 I've heard and thought the same thing so many times: The Philippines today is more like the USA I grew up in.
Hey, welcome to the Philippines! Glad you like it here! I work in BGC. Maybe I'll bump into you one day. By the way, Happy Birthday buddy!
yes its hot because its summer... after summer it's raining season always rains..😊but no more heat 😊

Keep hydrated walking under the heat of the sun is so dangerous. keep safe always .
Love these walks - we bought a condo in fort residences across from Shaka. Remodeling it now. From Beaverton.

That's right, live it up brother! Just discovered your channel!
I worked in BGC before, 2018-2019, near Uptown Mall. I missed walking down the road under skyscrapers.
Thank you for the informative video you have shared. I hope to see more.
Love the weather NIN the Philippines it’s really hot is nice wown
Hopefully all the Americans moving there don't spike up the cost of living look at some of the other countries their own people are being priced out.
It eventually will. Already happening in Mexico and local Mexicans are getting priced out due to Americans flocking there. Just a matter of time Philippines will become less affordable.
Correct! Too many foreigners coming here will cause inflation and in turn will lead to xenophobia and calls by Filipinos to limit the entry of foreigners to the country.

Nonsense! The Philippines is not Ophir, a nonexistent place! The Philippines is the Philippines. Period!
Your so quiet. The background noise is louder then you
Good for moving there. I agree with you.
sorry bro ive been watching your vids for months and only realised i havent subscribed.... now i have.... keep up the good work my idol.
Yes,mainit talaga Brian dito sa aming bansa, 💕💝💋
Only foreigners play in the middle of the day, while the Filipinos take cover in the shade before crossing the street when the light turns green.
Your true.
Your spot on with the coffee prices. Don't forget the tax.. smh
U have such a good camera so clear..❤
We the Filipinos appreciate everything you did to introduce Philippines to the world and bring a good impression and call Philippines “Paradise”.
Yoi are just smart to stay away from here bro! You got a good life and sunshine and live like a king and no stress chasing time here to go fucking work!
You know what? You’re the only foreign vlogger that I watch from start to finish .. I love watching you and your narratives.. kaloka ! 😍
Funny you said that about the american dream. Glad to hear another American that's here say it because my latest video is about just that and it's getting a lot of angry Americans commenting lmao

That’s a long walk. I enjoyed the tour . TY
Nice video Brian!
Young women giggle when they see you talking to your camera.

Yeah, transportation is cheap, but cars are way more expensive there vs in US.
It's very hot walking around stay hydrated...
Watching you from Calif. I enjoy your videos and new subscriber . Enjoy Manila bro.
Unless you’re independently wealthy or earning US dollars from a us employer a lot of young Americans are going to regret moving to the Philippines and forgoing earning their social security for later years. But to each his own.
"Gusto ko kape!" nice one. :-) you got it right hahaha~!
Daaammmn!! Passing Ladies Stare and greet you " HI!"!! Dude!!.. YOU HAVE PARADISE AT THE PALM OF YOUR HAND ..AT 42!??
❤❤❤DAAAMMNN!!
Just want to correct you that in the country side you get more free medication and consultation including the medicines compared to the city. You can also get free operations etc. What I want to say is you get more privileges living in the provinces. ✌️😘
is it a mac camera, try going to podium. If it i not there, you could ask them for the shop that has it.
Def a cool place 👌👌
Oh my, ang Gwapo mo Pre!
Ahehehe
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉
So what does the expression "you have a hot day" means? First time to hear that. Tried googling it but no clear answer.😊
Yup BGC's American vibe cities without the homeless..Right..but still prefer the province life me and my aussie partner building a beach house there.It's very expensive in Australia now specially Sydney.Not fun😢
Love your videos. Meet me when i go BGC?
Not for nothing but wearing black in the tropical heat doesn't help. It absorbs heat making you feel even hotter...literally. LOL! Might want to opt wearing maybe white, if not other bright or light colored tees.
Saw a BGC bus passed by. I did not realize there is 1.
there is and it uses tap cardconnected to mrt
America today is nothing but chaos. Our rice festival last Saturday was close down by the police after it opened because there were people walking around with guns. The police said that the law prohibit them to question people with guns.
There's a Rice festival in the US? I thought it would be a french fries festival 😂
In Philippines we have a very strict gun laws thats why no mass shooting happened here unlike in your country
Hi Brian. Just wondering, what model is your rayban? I love it.
Mainit talaga, ay naku, gusto ko cafe!!! - coollll, man!!😅😂
What's funny is that most Americans have the nerve to call the Philippines a 3rd world country when, in fact, it's the exact opposite!
It’s still largely 3rd world developing country. It’s only “opposite” in the upscale affluent areas which is NOT an accurate picture of the Philippines.
@@culturechangers5911 The real meaning of "3rd world" is a country which was neutral during WW2. First world is any nation with the allied forces, 2nd world those countries affiliated with the Axis powers. So historically speaking, the Philippines is a 1st world.
you are so gwapo Bryan. sana all!
Here in texas bro its $8 small cup
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower n Gen. Douglas Mcarthur use to live in the Phils., so westerners your welcome to live in the Philippines
Try to go to the mountains too
But i really like your home country Brian the United States of America my dream country ok.
She may have heard you say, It's a hot day 😊 instead of a 'hot date'.
The insta 360 x4 is the camera you should go for
Is it true that electricity is very expensive in Phillipines?
I cant wait to retire in the Philippines... I will live in Ayala South. Way more low key.
Hi handsome brian! I hope to bumped into you in bgc would love to hug you. Hehehe 🥰

Some people prefer to live in the city, with all the traffic, noise and pollution that comes with it. You have a problem with that?
Logical life Brian
