- We’re starting a new series! Aside from all the fun Philippine adventures and trying new foods and learning the culture, I want to take you guys on a different type of Pursuit with me. Moving my whole family from the States to the Philippines may sound ideal to some… but let’s be real, sounds kinda crazy too right? But for us, it was all in God’s timing and grace. In this series, we’ll dive into the beginning and how it all got started. So why did we actually make the move? Press play and come along for the ride as I share with you all the ups and the downs we went through to start a new life in the Philippines.
Thanks for all your support and catch you guys on the next Pursuit 🤙

Mga kababayan , please let us not lose our culture..let us preserve the essence of being Filipino - kind , loving , family oriented , respectful and welcoming..this is something that we can be proud of..
Preservation of values and heritage 💚🤙🙏
Agree...it is a must...
Bravo!! 👏👏 I am a Canadian who moved with my young family to the Philippines 6.5 years ago
We took the same leap of faith your family did. We left in our late 30's and it's taken us this long to feel like we've made the right decision... I'm glad TH-cam sent us to you guys... Good luck and look forward to watching your videos!!
Wow, what a journey for you! The first year is tough, quite the reality check from our first world living.
After, I feel like you can start to appreciate the little stuff. I’m happy to know you’re feeling like it was the right decision🙏 Looking forward to take this journey together!
Good luck to you. Left in 1989.
Never going back.
Where did you move too? I’m glad it worked out for you🤙🙏💚

Wow, so many people from abroad moving to the Philippines. This is so nice. best move! Thank you for choosing the Philippines💚
Ito ang isa sa klase ng mga vloggers na dapat suportahan at palaguin. May vission at mission at malasakit sa kapwa. Di yang mga BOY TAPANG,TORO FAM,MAKAPANGIT AT IBA PA NA DULOT AY INTRIGA STRESS SA MANONOOD NEGATIVITY AT PARA LAMANG SA CONTENT MAG KAMPERA PARA SA SARILI NILANG LUHO.
Salamat!!! I'm not exactly sure what it all means but I'll have someone on my team translate lol 😂
I agree
sinabi mo pa lalo na yung luwa dede..bat pa kaya nagdamit kung iluluwa din dede..mga cheap vloggers..hahahaha
True @@mizzymizzy
You are an encouragement. I’ve been debating with myself whether to stay here in the U.S. or go back to my place of birth-the Philippines. I have made up my mind, I’m going back.
Letsss go!!! Pray about and follow a path worth living out your calling💚🤙
I have moved to the Philippines for 2 years having the same vision , and a failed venture forced me to move back to the states . The good thing is, I never lost my dream of someday I will be back and fulfill our dream of forever living in the Philippines. God bless .
Polin...you're the man..that our country needs..a man with strong determinations and insights..a God fearing family..complete package in the making...new subscriber from mindanao..🇵🇭
Appreciate you joining the pursuit and subscribing 🤙 Not to worried about being the man haha. But for sure we need to make some positive changes together.
I appreciate the support from Mindanao🙏
I cried watching this. Thank you for sharing. After also moving our whole life in the Philippines in January 2023, we are at the point asking if we made the wrong move. 😭😭😭 You all sure look like you were more prepared than we were. Haha. But thank you thank you thank you. We needed to watch this at this moment.
Aww!!! I feel you so much! To be honest, we still question if it was the right thing to do. With all the affirmations, we know this is where we belong for now. Regardless of the hardship, struggles, and culture shock there is so much to be appreciative of. Feel free to reach out anytime if you need someone to relate too and hear you out🙏🤙💚
Coconut tree to many product will make broom or walis . Coco lumber. Fruits make bunot or sale also chacoal😊
@@Rogue_143❤
The tree of life they say😉
@@Rogue_143That was the biggest surprise about coconuts that it is a substitute for charcoal and it really works when it's time for some BBQ.
Thanks for sharing with us your story brother. I just moved my whole family to the Philippines and leaving everything in Johannesburg to start anew. It was not an easy decision but we are here by faith. Wherever God leads He will provide. I worked as a quality manager for 10 years in the food industry overseas and started my own consulting business but had to leave them behind for Philippines.... Better place for our kids to grow and get to know the Filipino way of life
I love that... Wherever God leads He will provide. Raising kids with a close knit family is super important for me. Being here definitely gave me more time with them. I have a few questions for you regarding your experience in the food industry. Message me via email at coconut@pursuitofcoconuts.com
These goal resonate for me and my family of 7. We want to make the move, but are Very unsure where to start and would LOVE to build some networks with people to discuss how you did it and what kind of challenges you faced? Please reach out if you want to talk! God bless you and yours!
I’m now a senior citizen of the world Not the USA which I dreamed of in my early life. The American dream is no longer appealing to me. I was born in the Phils. I brought my own young family to the USA where I and my wife raised 5 very children. Now where to? Back to where I feel Free to enjoy my new found Freedom. The Philippines !! 🇵🇭 😄Having seen a lot of TH-cam blogs I believe It’s really more Fun Family Friends in the Philippines 🇵🇭✅
What a journey! The USA provides an opportunity to create a good foundation. I'm glad you found your way back and may you have many more years of blessings with family and friends
So proud of the Ung’s! So much faith and strength to deliver this, keep up the pursuit 🤍 I love it!
Pri Pri!!! Thank you. Keep at it on your journey, you’re doing amazing. Come visit🙏
Best wishes to all of you! I hope you made the right decision and find happiness and successes in the Philippines. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you and blessing to you as well. No matter the outcome, it’s always the right decision to follow God’s calling😉 I just hope that I’m hearing Him clearly and humbling myself enough to hear properly🙏
I've been in P.I. for 20 years, Australia for 5 years, California for over 10 years. I plan to go back and forth depending on the season and needs. If I need major medical attention, I'll stay in California. If I needed a break, I'll go to Philippines.
Sounds like a great plan if you can make it back and fourth. The medical is great in the USA and I pray that you find it possible to go back and fourth. Come visit Bohol if you can🤙
You’re truly inspiring! Your ability to not just come up with an idea but to be daring and brave enough to execute it and move towards fulfillment and making an impact is so amazing and something we need more of in the world. I can’t wait to see what you do next! Love from the Tooson family in America ❤
Love received and send our love right back to you and the family💚 It’s just one day at a time, one step at a time, and anytime we are knocked down, we get up! Thank God we are given the strength, the friendships, and the opportunity to LIVE a life worth fighting for🫶🌴
Bro, I'm a Christian too and live in Long Beach. Inspiring story, I'll be following your journey. Thanks for sharing your faith and story.
What?! Soooo cool. Thank you and please keep me accountable🙏🤙 If you’re ever in the PI let me know.
Touched and encouraged by your perspective and message. Life is often unclear but I needed to be reminded that God is always with us. God bless you and your family.🙏
Yes He is, always with us... I would say God is clear and precise, we often make things more foggy than it needs to be. That's probably because the simple things asked of us are soooo hard. My flesh and worldly mind struggles to trust the process. Blessings to you and may you feel the presence of God constantly💚🙏
Thank you for choosing the Philippines to move from the US . I know GOD will be with you and your family. Be blessed always.
Thank you so much!
Being in Philippines and seeing both the poverty and the joy changed my goals in life.
Right?! Once we see it, it can’t be unseen. It helped me align to more of my values and calling🤙🙏
@@pursuitofcoconuts That's awesome 😎
I am praying about a similar decision.
Great choice coming over bro. I came over from eaglerock, best decision ever. We have a lot of land that I don't know what to do with and may need your advice. We wish you the best and always take care.
the Philippines wealth lies on its nature. sadly, many Filipino people neglect it and pursue city life more. our farmers live in poverty while the commodities they provide sells high in the cities. it is this irony that makes us different from other wealthy nations who are supported by their govt thru true agricultural help and not just nonsense subsidies that in anyways didnt bring any improvement in our agricultural sector.
I'm a big advocate on sustainable farming right now! I say farm 😉
Your family is awesome, happy, peaceful, contented, and most of all, God-centered!
Thank you for the kind words. We’ll do our best to stay humble and faithful. I know I’ll make mistakes but God will get us through it if it’s His will🙏 Thanks for joining the pursuit!
Good for you and the family bro. God bless you and your family, and may you have success with your goals. I love the Philippines 🇵🇭. They are my brothers from the pacific. I was born in Cuba 🇨🇺. Another former Spanish island. 🇨🇺❤️🇵🇭. I’m also considering leaving the United States and moving out of this mess.
God can use you in any mess and in any place. Thank you for your kind words. I pray that you are blessed with the decision you make. If you visit the Philippines ever, drop by Bohol and say Hi.
Please hurry though, come to the Philippines you are very much welcome.
Nice move of decision but for you as Cuban isn't good for you to get back to the country of your origin because the economy out there is not better right now I would suggest to move also in our country the Philippines because we have strong similaritities in culture for both of us we're under the Spaniards for hundred years past. And by that you could at home bro.
My brother in Christ. as A Filipino Christian I just want to say God is with you on this journey. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Thank you and AMEN
I love the way you’re telling your stories.. hoping to see more on your family journey in the Philippines.
Thank you! That is encouraging to hear🙏 This is just the start, so much more to come. Thank you for being on this journey with us🤙🌴
I’m so glad I’ve found a vlogger that I’d like to watch what this family’s journey would be like. You seem real!! I wish you great success not only financially but helping many others.
May I suggest you don’t say a foul word especially since it seems you’re a Christian.
Thank you so much! It’s definitely more than just about money. We understand it’s a resource but not the source of fulfillment. I appreciate you and I’ll do my best to not curse. It’s a habit growing up on the streets. No malice intended. Thanks for pointing it out nicely🤙🙏💚
I would have understand you very well if you have this endeavor given back to your beloved Cambodia as your point of origin but coming here in Pinas for such adventure,desire,or whatever you call it is just another level of compassion coming from your hearts and mjnd. Maraming salamat sa 'yo kaibigan 😇
People ask all the time why I didn't do it in Cambodia. God sent me in a direction and I just followed the path🙏
Wow you are an inspiration to us filipinos and you choose the right path the right place and thats LOBOC... the beloved place of my mother in law which is a very very nice and calming place and the people are so so nice so welcoming so caring and that we are always coming back and forth loboc even if its pandemic we went to loboc because we always wanted to go to and love the place so much....goodluck to ur new journey and u are in the right place... wow
Thank you! Loboc, a peace of heaven on earth🙏
VERY INSPIRING STORY. I WAS REALLY TOUCHED ON HOW DETERMINED OF YOU TO DECIDE TO MOVE BACK YO YOUR MOTHER LAND FROM THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU KABABAYAN AND GOD ALMIGHTY WILL ALWAYS BE AT YOUR SIDE NO MATTER WHAT. YOUR REAL HAPPINESS AND EVENTUAL SUCCESS ARE ALREADY ENGRAVED IN YOUR DESTINY. YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND IDOL. I DO HOPE YOU TOUCH THE LIVES OF ALL FILIPINOS ANDBFOREIGNERS ALIKE TO STAY IN THE PARADISE AS ANNOINTED BY GOD. KUDOS TO YOU SIR AND YOUR FAMILY. WE ALL FEEL EXALTED OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO HELP YOUR KABABAYAN AND THE COUNTRY AS WELL. MABUHAY KA IDOL.
Love your energy and positivity!!
God is filling our souls as we stay faithful. There are hard days and great days but God’s love us like the sun rise, always renewed EVERYDAY!
Thank you for your support and kind words. Let’s go on this journey and pray to be a part of the change we strive to bless the community here💚🙏
What an inspiring story! Continue to be a blessing to that small community that you are helping, and I’m sure it will create a huge impact. Thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you so much! Pray that blessings are unleashed🙏
You got a new follower! Awesome perspective you have!
- A man from PH, currently living in the US. We miss the 🇵🇭 badly. 👊
Thanks for joining the tribe and subscribing. Where are you in the state and where are you originally from in the PH? Come visit Bohol some time!
Welcome to the Land of Ophirians . The Philippines as confirmed by biblical historians was mentioned in the bible as Ophir. Our land used to supply gold during the time of King Solomon. Upon learning this ,God must have a special purpose on this country and its people. The reason why this place is like a paradise. God has blessed the Philippines so much. Its sad most of the Filipinos knew little about it.
Wow, I’m going to have to look into that myself. I wasn’t aware.
I know the Philippines has a rich reserve of gold and lots of natural resources but yet, the Philippines is behind in sharing those resources to the world. I hope we can change that!🙏💚
Wow guys! 🥲♥Hearing your story is one thing, but seeing it in a video puts it to another level! Im so glad you made the decision to move here and that we met. Your vision is so inspiring and made us realise that we have to dream bigger despite the anxiety that that might bring. To many more days together, chasing our dreams! 🤗💚
So glad we connected on the mats and thank you for visiting the farm. You've already took the big leap and now just embrace your journey💚 A lot more life to experience, don't hold back!!
Thank you very very much for choosing our country to build your mission. Really i dont get you but we really in need of people like you to guide us, to teach our people esp our farmers.Hope you're the one we're waiting for to make a real difference in their lives. Were all here to support you all the way with your mission.
Thank you. I don't get me sometimes too. haha God doesn't choose the qualified, He qualifies the chosen.
God bless your family! We moved our family from Canada back to the Philippines 2 years ago to share God’s love too. And connected with others who did the same. Hope to connect with you in the future. God bless your journey in shining His light.
wishing you all the best bro, yes, God will never forsake us. keep the faith.
Thank you! Pressing on💚 Thanks for the support🤙🙏
I never knew this channel just today.. I was blown away by how you stood up for something you believe that the Lord has called you. It is great to see how God has been shaping you more deeply as His followers.
Thank you for your kind words! I promise you I’m far from perfect but trying my best to stay faithful to my calling and our God🙏💚🤙
I am a filipino and I love my country Philippines. and I will never leaqve my country because I love living here.
We need more people like you with the love of their country here. So many leave because of the better opportunities in other countries but we need the talent and passion to stay🙏 Thank you for supporting your people🤙
@@pursuitofcoconuts .
They leave because of the jobs.
But as the old saying "If you can't find a job, create a job".. Everyone can start a small business as a replacement for a job. It is really all about the mindset.
I am a Filipino and my parents are Filipino. I love my tsinelas, bagoong and tortang talong. Thank you
You will never leave because you don't have a VISA, simple. haha.
@@3dprintwiz378 crab mentality?
this is what we need in the country.. filipino diaspora bringing home their expertise and building the country through entrepreneurship! GO GO GO👏
Yay!! Great affirmation🤙🫶 Even though I love the USA, it doesn’t need me at this time. I felt a calling to use what God has blessed me with to help low income farmers in the Philippines and it became evident that we belong here to do the good work for now🙏 If He is with us, who can be against us
Thank you for coming. May God continue to bless your pursuit and share whatever you can to our farmers
Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭 which is your home now. Wishing you and your family success and happiness as you all journey your life here. 👍😊🤗💕
Thank you for the warm welcome! Blessings to you!
Brother. We are in the early process of doing a similar move and came across your video. Thank you. Your message of faith has given me and my wife strength. May God bless you and your family and your journey.
Where God takes you, He will prospers you🙏
Yes, fill our spirits and give us internal peace🙏🤙💚
Love you, guys! Your journey genuinely inspires me. Your resilience and dedication are truly commendable, clearly reflecting your passionate and purposeful pursuit of your calling in life. Your positivity and adept navigation through challenges are not only admirable but also serve as a source of encouragement for others. Keep sharing your story; it's creating a meaningful impact, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing your continued success and growth. Love Philippines.
Thank you so much! These words are encouraging💚 It’s not easy but it’s worth it. God has definitely forging us in the fire🙏
MAD LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAM BRO! So excited for what's in store for you guys!
Appreciate that dude!! Mad love right back at ya. Thanks for coming along the pursuit🙏🤙
I am crying too! This is what I am praying for too.
Got a teary-eyed listening and watching your video. Navigate you life and dream with God.
The best way to dream because with Him anything is possible! Appreciate you! Blessings!
Our ancestors were coconut and coffee plantation barons in the 1890s . They were considered aristocrats. They also supplied coconuts to a chocolate company in US. . They left massive land in different locations to 6 generations and divided to many families. That is how rich they have become. The younger generations became professionals. The industry died and younger gen were not interested. It would be wonderful to see your success on this aswel.
The trade off of becoming professionals instead of working on farms... I wish I could turn back time but it's the reality of today. I learned that the large plantations were highly decorated and they were so respected. I hope the younger generation sees an opportunity in farming. The country needs it with food scarcity looming in the near future. Thanks for sharing and following!
LOVE the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤ as a Filipino, I'll work & live here in the Philippines til the end. That's my promised to myself when I was dreaming at a young age. 😊
Love the commitment to your country. We need more talent and great minds to stay but often times, the financial opportunities are abroad. Thanks for your commitment 🫡
@pursuitofcoconuts due to lack of opportunities in our beloved land - millions are looking for greener pastures abroad - we can't blame them. The diaspora of this country are the ones helping our economy/country afloat. Hope someday, Filipinos will be home and stay with their families - no more LDR.
Let’s do our best to share the opportunity and wealth instead of a few who hoard it for themselves. 🙏🤙💚
@pursuitofcoconuts Yep2x po sir. We need to contribute in nation building. We need to help the marginalized sector. 🙏
Hang in there. The first year can be the best year and can be the hardest year. Wherever you go, there you are. Vaya con dios.
Thanks Tim! First year was like a rollercoaster for sure. We are committed and will stay faithful to our calling. Pray for us lol
So many young foreigners come to the Philippines and made the land their home. Isn't this a true picture that Philippines is a welcoming HOME for all men? I hope these good honest foreigners can meet each other and make a move together creating a good path for them and for the Filipinos. I am so grateful and proud of you all. May God bless you
Amazing and inspiring! God is so faithful and he will never disappoint you and your family! Thank you for sharing your faith and your life with so many people! We are rooting for you and yours. Jesus is about to blow your mind by overwhelming you with His goodness and grace! I believe the best is yet to come for you and your family! God bless you, brother!
God has already blew my mind. To carry my cross(nothing comparable to Jesus, not even close) as Jesus did is an honor and I hope I can stay humble and faithful through it all. I appreciate you kind words and blessings to you as well💚🙏
Very inspirational! God bless you on your new journey!
Thank you Doc! Pressing on and excited also to see what’s to come🙏💚
Thanks to your goals and ideas moving here in the Philippines. Helping our farmers
Pray that our project is supported locally🙏
OMG, you're so brave to do this! I wish the best for you and your family!
Thank you so much! Where in Bohol are you?!
@@pursuitofcoconuts I am from Cebu, we're just a boat away. I saw that you had some issues activating your starlink, I believe the best option to pay is through a Paymaya virtual card.
Thank you for choosing Philippines. wow, i was in awe of your faith and of course we welcome you in our beloved Country, i pray for your successful pursuit, cant wait to watch your next video...God Bless you and your family🙏❤❤❤
My husband and I are 2 Americans who left Northern CA 4 years ago and moved to Kampot Cambodia and are loving our lives here! Now we can’t imagine going back to the States. Good job on making the leap!!
This is a banger homeboy! God bless you in your journey!

Thank you! Blessings
A welcome hug to you & your family. Thank you for choosing the Philippines & good luck on your social enterprise, a lofty goal for our poor farmers. We need new blood with a fresh perspective to move the economy forward.
Ooh nothing wrong with that. I think living in the Philippines will definitely be a fresh start & even humble you guys a bit. There are a lot of non Filipinos who move there & genuinely love it. Best wishes & enjoy the journey! God bless 🙏🏼
Great experience, challenge, and very humbling. It changed a lot of my thinking… in a good way🤙🙏. Definitely an adjustment non the less. Thanks for the blessing and well wishes. Blessing to you also💚
Damn brooooO, your content is way MORE MEANINGFUL and FULL, i mean it is TOO GENUINE and full of love and trust. GOD is good all the time! And God will always PROVIDE..! 😊❤

Thank you ...I'm your new supporter 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
Thank you for joining in on our pursuit!🙏
The Philippines are one of the places I'm considering moving with my wife. But, I've been doing a lot of research and I'm also interested in Nicaragua, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. I feel that we will be much happier if and when we make that change. Canada is becoming far too stressful these days
All your options look like great options. I'm not to familiar with Nicaragua. Vietnam has great infrastructure compared to Philippines. Thailand is fun and affordable. Philippines has great people and many speak english. 🤙
Thank you!
You are not just Pinoybaiting.
I hope you’ll be a beacon of change for our kababayans.
Just be careful with power, because it can be intoxicating.
Subscribed already!
Thank you! Pinoybaiting, lol first time I’ve heard that term. There are a lot of bloggers that blog about the Philippines.
We hope peel back the layers and fulfill our calling.
And yes, power and money can be dangerous. Pray for us to remain humble🙏🤙
Appreciate you and your support💚
i love the story its so beautiful keep pursuit brother and i wanna hear more of your life story and those motivation words 😊 keep it up brother 👍
Your words means a lot to me. Trying to stay faithful to the calling. I’ve got a good team here, we’ll definitely keep pushing. Thanks for again and looking forward to what’s to come! 🙏🤙

Good on you guys! you're all awesome leaving behind the evil of the USA! May God bless your entire family, and keep you safe 🙂Amen
There is definitely evil everywhere. That's where faith and the spirit can direct us to where we are meant to be and how to be used to spread the Love of God. Thank you for the blessings and may you also be blessed my friend🙏
i couldn't agree with you more. Totally 100% correct, and praise the Lord for saying it! @@pursuitofcoconuts

Thank you! That's so sweet and awesome of you. Your support means a lot
It's a perfect time to move here in PHI to do business. Philippines has ton of potential, you might strike BIG here. Goodluck!
My brother im korean american. Born n raised n the states n served this bloody country. Hate everything about the west now especially the states. Leaving my family in japan, its just not 4 me. Long story. I have a calling 2 move 2 the Philippines 🇵🇭 & in January im taking a leap of faith & making my move to the Philippines 2 be an end times minster. God bless your journey w your family. Hope 2 cross path n meet w u 1 day brother.
I have a lot of friends who served America. It's far from perfect but it is still a country that offers so much compared to oppressed countries. It was comfortable and gave us lots of luxuries, God pulled me in a different direction. May God be with you on your steps ahead. If you're in Bohol drop by and say "hi"
Interesting. I was in the Philippines 11 years ago on a coconut project and traveled up and down the main island looking for coconut supplier with the help of some relatives. Priced out everything from supply to transportation to port as well as cost for container and shipping. Largest typhoon in history of Philippines then swept through and destroyed a lot of supply and prices increased to an amount that was no longer feasible for what I needed it to be. However I also did research to produce/
manufacture product from raw supply and knew that was route I would probably have to take. Stayed in Philippines for a year and had to return to US because my visa was expiring. US citizen born in Philippines so was able to have 1 year visa. Came back to US to reevaluate but things changed and ended up in serious relationship. Watching this video just brought back memories of my coconut journey and experience which I regret not returning to, but looking to re-ignite my love of adventure and travel I had back then this year. Good luck on your pursuit and adventure.
Your story sounds amazing. You may have paved the way but your assessment is pretty accurate. With market competition from countries that are more established in tech and processing, we do have a lot to do to bridge that gap. We ARE finding ways and looking forward to sharing more of this journey. All the UPs and DOWNs. It's not easy but anything worth it never is right? If you're ever in Bohol, please do hit us up!
I had a contract to supply foreign company large amount every month and the problem became the price and monthly supply requested. I will travel back to the Philippines hopefully this year, but not sure exact date. Maybe I can share more details of my experiences and what exactly I had going on and my perspective and potential of coconuts if we ever meet. From the little I have seen I think we are somewhat aligned with our interests and outlook. Btw I think coconut coir is a good medium.
You are truly an inspiration. I can relate to what you are doing. As long as you have God in your lives, you cannot fail. Welcome to the Philippines and MABUHAY!
I appreciate that. Please pray that God is made more followed and famous!
You and your families story is absolutely uplifting. Thank you.
fellow LB native here and as much as I loved it as a kid, having attended St. Lucy on the West Side to high school at Millikan in the East Side it’s no longer the same. may your journey be prosperous! with God on your side, who can be against you? God bless!
Shout outs!! Long Beach in the house. I’m sure we know someone we both know😂 Long Beach has changed but I still love it. The diversity and creativity that comes out of there💚

@@pursuitofcoconuts aye that's pretty dope! i wouldn't doubt that we know someone in common haha! excited to see what the journey unfolds for you and your family!
Good for you guys! I absolutely love gardening/farming. I have my own garden, but also work at our local greenhouse/nursery. I wish I made this move to the PI when my kids were younger, but now that my youngest is almost of high school and hubby is close to retirement. I’m also hoping to do some farming in the PI, Babysteps 🙏🏼
Just have faith and everything will fall into place 🙏🏻
Faith the size of a mustard seed can grown into something huge! Thank you for the encouraging word🙏
Thanks for loving my country Philippines ❤ I’m from Long beach too from the west side Willow and easy ave but we move to Chicago and planning to go back home to Long beach soon. You guys take care we’re planning to be back home too ❤🇵🇭🇺🇸
When I was a kid most of my contemporaries were longing to go to the US or Europe for economic and technical advancement but in my case it has never crossed to my mind to go somewhere else but to stay in the Philippines which I feel most comfortable with. Besides, I love my country so much that there's no amount of reason that could alter in pursuing my simple Philippine dream. After all, happiness to me is how you live your life simply and harmoniously getting connected with others around you and be contented of what you have in this temporary life.
You're an answer to my prayer! I've been praying for God to somehow help the Philippines do more with our bountiful coconuts 🥥. It is rightly called the "Tree of Life" because of all its awesome nutritional value. May the Lord use you and your family mightily for His purpose :)
Good luck guys! Your vision is so great!👍🇧🇭🇵🇭
I'm a small businessman here and i think your pursuit of coconuts is a good idea and would be great if you could pull it off. But if you're looking into maybe trying real-estate here, maybe you might want to apply for a job with the Ayala Group to get some insight and make connections before venturing off on your own. Just my 2 cents. Whatever the case maybe, I wish you and your family success! New subscriber here 😊
