    As a Fellow American and a Veteran of 50 years old I feel the same the Political climate in America with the mounting inflation costs are causing me to be looking at BGC. I am working on paying off my debts first before I come there. I figure a year. But may also depend on the Election if I come sooner.

    Spot on, Brian, that was very well explained. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I am here now in the US as a citizen. I have been here more than hallf of my life. It seems to me that some people here in the US or half of the people, in this case, the election season.These people need to travel to see more of life perspective rather than cave perspective.

    Brian , this is your best video yet. A carefully well written script to the usual BGC scenery. There IS more to BGC and the Philippines than just the ladies. The political commentary at the end was spot on too. You got me to subscribe this time. Maybe I’ll bump into you in BGC next year.

    If you're a foreigner and working remotely, why would you want to live in BGC? It's just a completely boring, commercialized bubble, like Disney World. There's no flavor and no cultural mojo. It's just a playground for foreigners and the tiny segment of rich pinoys. It's way more interesting in the provinces. Sure, there are minor annoyances once you get outside the bubble. But the life is simpler and more carefree.

    I hate it when people say atay out of politics. Those are the people who screw everyrhing up. You don't vote you don't speak. Because that freedom of speech was given by voting. You right affects everyone everywhere Thank you for telling people the truth. I don't watch a lot of news either. Very small amount. I'm like that balanced. My sister in law says why do I need to vote it has nothing to do with me. Idc. Let them do them.. she lives in New Mexico. If that explains anything. I palm faced myself. One day you'll have to meet up with me and my hubby. December is not the only time I'm coming back. We will eventually move there .

      Ron Paul was the last candidate that maybe could have saved America. Now all the politicians are one side of the same coin. That's all you're going to get to vote on. The media will squash anyone that's not. 8 years of Clinton-worse off. 8 years of Bush- worse off. 8 years of Obama-worse off. 4 years of Trump-worse off. 4 years of Biden-worse off. None of these guys from both parties made us any better as a country. America has been on a downward trajectory for decades and voting didn't help one bit.

    I'm living here for the summer. Couldn't agree more. Although I'm in the southern edge of Manila (Alabang). The people are amazing. The only thing I would say is that the food isn't great. It's a lot of rice. A lot. Food here is more to fill you up rather than what you would find in terms of spices elsewhere in SE Asia.

    If you think Filipino food wakes up your taste buds ...try Thai food! Yup the foods in Asia are sure different AND HEALTHY... with very little to no Cancer. Thai food by the way, doesn't have to be overily spicy ..ask and they are happy to tone it down. Try Indian Lamb Curry ...food you'll die for. Gentle respectful people, long as you stay away from the toxic areas where American ex-pats gather. I'm an American; I much prefer Asians, they're non-confrontational. Liked yer video, don't plan on visiting the Philippines or Thailand ....it gets under your skin ...accept the fact, your staying 😱 ENJOY!!

    I promise to pay attention and vote. Having said that, is there some sort of dystopian competition to find the two most unhinged and unpresidential (for different reasons) candidates while doubling down on corporate pay to win Citizens United legalized bribery? In every crisis, the rich get richer and our freedoms and the level playing field that makes free market competition productive, erodes. Increasingly politicians choose their voters, and not the other way around. Watching this circus might be better with some distance. . .

      One of the toxic mentality of Nopyi is eyeing on other people's lives. As if you are controlling them. That they must have this and that to enjoy. Ex: Kids in the far barrios make their own makeshift toys to enjoy. You don't need it to have it for yourself to enjoy. You have your gadget to chat others or your kumares to fetch chismis or having your hair fixed at salon to enjoy your life. And those kids doesn't need it. In short, deal with your own self, with your own happiness.
