    In the summer time here when I'm in the bathroom with no fan , there's sweat dripping off my forehead onto the floor like rain drops. If you can live here without AC , you sure have ME beat.

    Well, I would say it is a sort of a modernization of mindset that don't rely on materialism and debts.. If do, can achieve mindset wealth and survive without depending on what the government programs offer

    You are so right. Many people here are on debt just to keep the life style dictated to them. It is so different here now, like a survival. Homelessness and drugs growing massive and corruption is everywhere either in the govt, and private. It is getting worst in America everyday. Businesses closing, and majority closed after few months just opened. And the price went up again. Went to buy eggs yesterday and the cheapest I saw is 8 dollars a dozen. I was shocked. The organic I used to buy for 5.50 is now 10 dollars. Everything went up 30 to 50%. McNeal 18 dollars. Cheap restaurant 25 $ minimum for one.

      do you believe that everything that happened in the wildfires like the reduction of fund by $17M, the emptying of the dam, the mismanagement of the forest or greenery, the LA Mayor being Ghana for the presidential inauguration...are just all coincidences???

    As a complete and absolute social and economic failure it sure seems to me that MOST U.S. expats also fall (fail) into this category. I rarely see an American who I would associate with if we were both still in the US. If you're a fantastic success story living here on Social Security, congratulations and best luck to you.

    Filipinos have so much to offer to the World. The ingrained Concept of heritage Filipino traditions of Kapwa, Bayanihan, Resilience shows the world that Filipinos are mature Civilization not just as a Culture. A unique Civilization that understands and has built strong Empathy to each other. We share our food and open our homes to ("uninvited") guests to make sure that they are not hungry while around us. Our greetings start with ("kumain ka na ba?" Have you eaten?!) (Kapwa) shows our empathy to people. It is one of many that other people in the world can learn from Filipinos as mature understanding of Humanity. 😊

    Healing the American society back to how it should have been all along could be easy if the American system and values can be rebooted to being family-centered and being a tight-knit society instead of being the fragmented, self-centered rat race it has become where status matters more than the most common of human values. There is still hope. If all Americans choose to renew their society now, it can all still still go back to the warm American society it used to be. You know why Filipinos are such warm people? The way i see it, and i kid you not when i say this, i think it all has a connection to how Filipinos uphold their faith in their religion, Catholicism and their unquestionable belief in Christ. The values of Christ that is ingrained to every Filipino at a young age makes them resilient as adults without sacrificing their warm and hospitable traits. You see how they smile amidst hardships? The way they can still smile even after their houses get blown away to smithereens by typhoons? No. They are not crazy, they have hope. The fire of hope that burns in their hearts is something unquenchable. They always get back up no matter how much life and unforeseeable circumstances beat them to the ground. Their resilience is something that inspires foreigners like me to power through my own trials and circumstances. If Americans learn to assimilate that kind of resilience and still retain the warmth of being human and the happiness of discussing things calmly to their fellow countrymen, i believe that American society can, not only heal itself but also reach new, unprecedented heights not only as a society but also as a global state.

    As a Filipino im okay for foreigners to visit here but I don't agree for them to stay, migrate here, and buy land here. But if they agree to not bring their too much democratic privelage views in the Philippines and follow the law here, I'm fine with them to stay here short term. Actually the surge of foreigners in BGC, makati and other tourist places in the country also caused a frustrating inflation for basic needs (food, rent, water, resto, 😢). This expat are only happy to stay because of the cheaper prices here compared to theie country, but for us Filipino, we are not happy to be prized as tourist in our own country.

      Does your view apply to Filipinos working in the USA and sending money back to the Philippines as if draining wealth from America?🧐 It's nonsense. The problem you speak of is actually Filipinos buying condos as investments while living in other countries. Maybe second to Filipino is Chinese investors.

    Successful people are resented by the herd because they made it. No need to hate on USA home owners with an extra car and some TVs (i.e. materialism).

      Not hating at all. Many can afford such things...I got issues with a few of the ones I've known from the past that accuse me of living minimally due to being "poor" and not making a "pro-American" message because this is not true.

      @@1RichardDell I once knew one individual , their were many, who often talked about how successful they were. Despite their accomplishments, they had a habit of isolating themselves, criticizing others, and engaging in heated arguments over small things. They seemed to believe that people around them were envious of their success, which created a sense of entitlement and superiority in their mindset.
      Over the years, they continued to focus heavily on material wealth and status as measures of a 'good life,' even distancing themselves from their upbringing and resenting their own parents. It was an interesting dynamic to observe-while they had some admirable qualities, like drive and honesty, their approach to relationships and personal growth seemed to be hindered by their focus on materialism and a sense of social persecution. I think this shows how important it is to balance ambition with humility and connection.

    Filipinos are more emulating Americans. Thousands of foreclosures in the Philippines and massive credit card debt with Filipinos as well. It's a very serious problem and could explain why interest rates in the Philippines is around 10% and 10 year amortization on mortgages. Interest rates have been high to reduce inflation here in the Philippines.
    Great presentation. America does have problems as well.

    Who cares what people think most will never come to the Philippines, so ignore them, Jealousy is a hard pill to swallow, By the way I like my car's, not to impress anyone, I paid cash for all 4 of my Mercedes and Truck, I do it for me not for anyone else, If people don't like it it is on them, I love how the Filipino people are humble and nice, they could teach Americans a lot, I am coming to the Philippines to live in a Hut and live like a filipino, Not looking to live like a snobby American foreigner, If you would like to get together let me know, will be there in April
