    So important to be respectful of the culture and the people in any country you visit. Philippines is no different. I am always humbled when in the Philippines because of the constant reminders of how "being" is more important than "having" when it comes to happiness. (Understandably, in many cases there is no choice) It's made me more of a minimalist. I fly into Manila tomorrow and will spend time with a close friend, first at his place where he is pretty much the only "white" guy and then Palawan where last time I didn't want to leave LOL Much respect for the three of you!

    Thank you for coming to the Philippines which is helping the economy and uplifting the lives of some people in spite of the bad and the ugly. Ugly because of scammers and the corruption which I am ashamed of; bad for bad roads, undependable power, poverty, some bad people, etc. You are all admirable having a community helping each other and giving tips for others not to make mistakes, etc. You can be examples for Filipinos who see the good in you. Like one guy said, girls should be your last priority. Learn about the country first and see if you can put up with what you see.

      @@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 So true. I fear many vloggers are afraid to even mention the social problems you described so well. To hear a constant banter about how wonderful the Philippines is.... is getting old. Be true to yourselves and delicately point out that it AIN"T perfect....unless you are a white Anglo who has Social Security, and/or a TH-cam channel. If you are a vlogger bringing in 35k or 70K subscribers...they will see earnings of $1k plus a month or $2K+ a month respectively. Paul is at over $2K a month in TH-cam earnings, so yes life is beautiful here in the Philippines. Mike is on a rampage with two TH-cam channels in less than a year in Dumaguete in his quest at 69 to what?....retire? or be relevant?. Hm, Cheers

    what a breath of fresh air. love the three of you guys just sitting and chatting and having "fun". I really enjoyed listening to you guys laughing and talking about the philippines, do's and don'ts, expat living in the philippines, and Baby Mae's tada ( not sure if it's spelled right). when I move there, at first, it was dumaguete, then cebu, then iloilo. haven't figured out where the home base will be, but I am concerned about the brown outs. so, I'll probably pick the place less prone to brown outs to start. I'm 73, average health, single, and itching to take the plunge. probably next february, if I can pay down some of my debts. I live on ss only, living with my son and his family at the moment.

    I'm in Virginia and building a rather huge trellis system to grow my luffa sponges on. It works out great to listen to your videos. I don't have to be tuned in visually. It's more like a podcast.
    This is day two of the bamboo trellis build. It makes me imagine I'm on an island within a city.
    My neighbor said I could live in it. He likes to sit in his backyard adjacent to mine and watch me, my chickens, ducks and goose do gardening projects.
    It's my answer to living someplace like the Philippines.

    I would think that part of the success with foreigners in the Philippines, Dumageti in particular, is due to the close bonds with other men who have a common interest and a similar background. Men need their space and probably more in their later years. Being able to get away with friends to travel, or a weekend adventure would definitely quench the thirst of living well and stress free from everyday life.

    Social Security is in the U.S. general fund. There is no separate fund for SS, so it will not go broke. On the other hand, it will stop when the U.S. government decides not to print a check for you. If it was in a separate fund and invested in the markets, we would have trillions of dollars in SS, but unfortunately the government squandered it all.

      Very true, the SS recipients for years have been getting cheated on their yearly pay raise, it’s always at least a few percentage points lower then the actual consumer price index for inflation

    It's wonderful that a bunch of guys can get together and reminiscence and talk about current events. It's wonderful because it's what I want to do when I go there. A hang out for Expats when the home life gets too stressful or boring. It's something the girlfriends or wives need to understand. We need communal contact with people who "get it".

    If you want, I can fill you in on the too many xpats in Duma and where that's coming from. I've been doing a ton of research because I plan on coming over for a visit. Eventually, moving permanently and your vid's in particular have really helped with what I need to make sure I have.

    You guys are something else, I’m subscribed to all of you. My dream is to come to the Philippines and meet all of you (and Bob). I’m chatting with two different girls, but I’m only wanting one special one to be the last love of my life. I wonder if I’m too old to do this, I’m 71, but in pretty good physical shape. Maybe I can make this happen, we’ll see.

    When enough Americans arrive in the Philippines, what do you predict will happen among the native population and their politicians who represent them? I have a wild guess, and it likely won't be too pleasant for the Americans.

    What is hospital administrator doing teaching MCAT preparatory review? A different world from medical school? FYI there are well established MCAT preparatory schools in the US. That guy is speaking a lot of BS. Arab women don’t have a dating culture, especially non Muslim white men. It can cause them their lives, family honor is a big deal in the GCC.

    Great information for newbies to hear. I loved Iloilo Iloilo as well. Only thing is locals not as open or curios to foreigners as other places. But that's a 2 day observation. I could be wrong ??? Hope Monty is doing good ! He is a blessed man.
