" I feel alive again" That says it all.
So true. Good stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting. Highlighting that portion of the video is a big takeaway. Thank you
I feel dead now.
@@eddieBoxerHope you’re good there brother. I hear you btw. You able to come out even for a vacation?
Hi Chris , The main reason why folks enjoy your channel and other channels , in my opinion, is because we enjoy watching happy people, genuinely happy people 😂
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Born there in the PH, since 1978 here in England and so happy all of you Americans love our country...you are most wellcome!
Wow, I'm so jealous. I really hope I experience this one day soon. I'm in Europe and it seems to be crumbling fast. People have all but lost their minds, so PH looks super chill in comparison. Exactly my kind of vibe.
It’s incredible here for sure:)
If works in your society pressure you to earn and earn and earn for you to live. And if you have permanent pension even a little amount, you will satisfy to life here in Philippines.
There are CCTV cameras in every corner now. So perhaps the Europeans can all come here and transplant Scandinavian culture or French.
it is
Do you really trade crypto
I just wanted to wish every people in the world, who found a new place to start their lives, to have a happily ever after. You guys should consider yourselves lucky, not all have the option to escape the toxic world they're in.
So true. I’m truly honored to be here. Hope you’re good there
Then dont go look for a purpose. Enjoy being a rock star to the naive and sexuslly repressed so life will be as planned.
These vloggers and expats are doing more than our own tourism department.
lol nice
it takes millions of pesos to put an advertisement on TV..they can do it online but they just let the foreign youtubers do it..
still a good thing
Well the foreigners experiences of good attitudes,manners and characters of the locals, our superb hospitality, we values the family and respect to the elderlies are the one that matters and make us Filipino stand out!
It’s an amazing culture and I’m so honored to be here
@@bornonjuly7052 it's just so happen that we have shit govt officials, this country should be on par with Japan or South Korea if we are talking about progress if we have a better govt officials
Philippines will continue to thrive to become the number one destination for foreigners to visit.
Filipinos are the most friendliest, hospitable, generous people on earth. All is invited to see, feel, experience the beautiful beaches, mountains and fiestas that each town celebrates.
Thank you guys for the informative videos you have. Thanks Chris!
Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it
The handshake you mentioned is we call it
“Mano “ a sign of respect to our elders,uncles,aunties. And you are right about getting up and giving the seats to elder people.
I have never seen that kind of attitudes of younger generations in the US, especially that they are all busy looking with their cellphones.
I remember when I was young, all grandkids have responsibility to visit grandma and help her with household chores during weekends, and spend summer days with her too.
Yea me too, we respected our Grandparents or we got it from them or ours. Not any more here in the US, they all show up when the Grandparents pass for hand out. That happened to my neighbor where you never saw the Grand kids except Christmas and when they were not home for the kids to use the pool and yea to ran sack the house after the passing for all they could take that they did not deserve! It made me sick to my stomach!!
I think you convinced me on the Philippines. Vlogging will be more of a hobby for me but the amount of exposure you can get compared to Thailand is obvious. Double the population and majority English speaking. The genuine nature of the people is a huge factor also. I think I mentioned want to get back into scuba as well and Tubbataha is one of the best dive spots in the world.
PH is waaaaay better than TH.
If you’re considering Thailand, another vlogger i watch Roaming Hogan I think his channel name is and he did a great video on comparing Thailand / Philippines. I think it’s spot on except when it comes to dating part. I don’t think he goes into much there. Anyway, thanks for watching my video. Really appreciate it
@@CarefreeChris Hadn't heard of him yet, will definitely check him out. Thanks!
Yeah. He’s a good kid. 30 something and traveling the world. Documenting his experience. Good times.
@@VikingNomad99 lol have you been to Thailand …lol go north ..they don’ t speak English …rural Thais don’t speak English.
"Mano Po" is an endearing Filipino gesture of respect that we give to elders, and a way of accepting a blessing from them, we Filipino's do it specially to elder asking for blessing everytime we back to home from school, churches and travel.
Yeah. Really beautiful
I particularly enjoyed this one, most especially your conversation on how prevalent the English language is here and how fluent most Filipinos are in English, plus the overall western or American influence present in our culture. My take is this -- We're really not Asians, I think we're Latin-American hybrids! 😄
I love this. It really is the perfect mix. Really great
We are actually like that, there's a stand up comedian that actually mentioned that. Because we have been colonized by Spanish and Americans for almost 400 years combined.
@@johnconstantinelegaspi2790 It's Jo Koy. He said we're the Mexicans of Asia. Lol. Jo Koy is a Fil-Am btw.
@@moondustgirl2132 no not him, there's another one but the term is something asian latinos and not mexicans, I remember Jo Koy said that Asian Mexican thing
@@moondustgirl2132 Jokoy huh...I've seen a few of his videos but was not aware he said this, that's pretty cool!
Good conversation. You hear the same things over and over in vlogs but its nice to get the feedback from two credible guys who are new on the scene. Dan is smart about taking his time before committing to living in Phil just as you were to jump Chris. Everyone is different.
Yeah. He’s in a great spot and has done his homework
Thank you for the nice compliments and observation on the loyal, devoted heart of a Filipina 🥰
Q: Most expats are SWM , have you seen female expats coming over ? If so, it would be great to get her perspective on the challenges and benefits of making the move. I’ve been considering a move, but am just in the exploration stage if it would even be possible .. thank you for your great conversational , happy go lucky manner. Stay safe and happy travels. 🌺
Yeah Sally. There’s a lot of talk on that topic. In my live stream someone asked about that exact topic and we went over it briefly. I’m not sure exactly where that conversation took place in my live but check it out if you like. I do think this is a great destination for any race or gender. You would want to keep your senses up like there in the West but I do believe its a great destination for everyone. I would say come check it out. Start with either Cebu City, BGC Manila or Davao City. Spend a couple of weeks and check it out. I think Cebu City is the best place to start and maybe Davao City which I believe was voted safest city in SE Asia.
My wife spent 20years in the US, with me. Now we reside in here in the Philippines. We built our dream home. Our son is in a private school, life is so much better here.
I live in NY but I’m going back to PH next year just to feel grounded & normal again.
I hear ya. Hope you make it back here soon. Take care there
It's obvious how influenced Filipinos are by Western culture. Almost like it's their second nature. But, not to a point where they adopt their behavior and attitude. The culture of respect is still ingrained in them, and thank goodness for that 🙏
I agree. A perfect balance and really kept the good things regarding the Western culture but not the bad. So honored to be here. Thanks for watching and commenting
until driving a vehicle
Religion plays a major role in the Philippine culture. That’s where Philippines and USA differs.
I am Pinay who born and raised in the Philippines but I lives in California. I have not visited my mother land yet for many years now but I soon will. You are very blessed to have settled and enjoyed living in the Philippines. We are very loving people. Cebu is beautiful; my mom's family are from there. Interesting video and thank you for promoting the Philippines.
I'm so happy and honored to be here. I hope you make it back home someday
philippines will always have a special spot in the heart, most of the foreigners who visited here.... and taken something loving/funny/good memories to remember when they went back home.... ☺️
As a Pilipino I do really appreciate your conversations. It truly gives the true picture of Philippines as you experience it. It also give a good perspective for Foreigners contemplating on coming to our humble country, be it for a visit, tour or staycation. Keep up the good works Guys. Be safe and Godspeed!!!
Thank you so much and I’m very honored to be here
@@CarefreeChris Likewise am honored you chose to live here in my humble country. BTW, while you're in the Philippines never pass a chance to taste our Famous Mango (ripe ones). Its Awarded by the Guinness Book Of World Records as the Best, Delicious and the Sweetest Mangoes in the World.
It's more fun in the Philippines!!! Enjoy and stay safe.
I’m really digging the channel my friend your hitting the same timeline of where I see myself and I’m enjoying the journey with you see you in December!
Nice Jay. Ping me a couple months out. Would love to catch up when you’re here. I can potentially fly out to the Manila area too. Hope all is good there brother.
Well I enjoyed that BS session immensely. 👏
You are a very relaxed, easy going and easy to talk to dude. Fun is the word that comes to mind.
My ears and spirits perked up when your friend said that in the Philippines he now feels like he is a 19/20 year old kid again! 😳🤯👍 I'm 51, I'll have a serving of that, please! 😂
Lol was fun. Thanks for watching:)
Great conversation guys! Cheers! I've said that to my friends before you wanna feel like a Rockstar go the PI. As you here in the US it's the daily grind and also, i barely know my neighbors here rarely we talk nobody wants to engage. Thanks again for the vid looking forward for more. Not skipping any ads, least i can do for your hard work. Peace!🤘
Thank you brother. Hope all is good there. Really appreciate your support
Love the engaging dialogue with like-minded guest. More of this type of content.
Yes. Interviews are fun for everyone. Good stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Your analysis is quite remarkable and spot on. I sense you both like being there. 🏝
Yes. Love being here.
We’re happy to have you in the Philippines 🇵🇭 🏝️ enjoy 👍
Thank you so much. I’m so honored to be here
The 2 of you kind of expats having a good character and positive attitudes are the type of foreigners our country needs. You are correct Chris Filipinos doesn't care about the age gap so long as the relationships is bind with sincerity, love, caring for each other and you need also to understand the culture of being family oriented including the relatives. If you support your wife and established a good relationships with relatives you will live like a king. Your wife and relatives will took care of you until your dying moments and will find ways to serve you.
I’m truly honored to be here
Yup! But u guys should not go to my country and get with too young girls just because you can. There is a name for that!
I hear ya.
New subscriber here! Saw you on Mike’s video.. Welcome to our country.. Thanks for your kind words about Philippines.
We are the best people on earth 😀 Hope you, two can find your great Filipinas:)
Thank you so much. Really happy to be here
I enjoyed watching the two of you sharing opinions and hearing different stories and perspective. I hope you will guys enjoy the Philippines more. try to visit beautiful places and spots. I have watched your boracay trip few weeks ago. travel more please. every cities and provinces have different vibes. ❤
Yes. I’m thinking about where next. It’s time to take a quick trip to somewhere:) Thanks for watching and really appreciate it
@@CarefreeChris try el nido or coron Palawan. I think you are in Cebu, try kawasan falls and do canyoneering.
Yes. All on my radar. I’m thinking about CDO. The timing is good where i don’t have my bike yet and a place i wont take my bike to
You Guys are Amazing 😉 I’m happy that you guys love ❤️ our Country Thank You 🙏
Thank you for having us. So happy to be here
Really enjoyed this video. Just subscribed ✓
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it
tremendous video chris,,,, hope you do it more often, you interview great,,, get one of the Filipinas youtubers to interview,, and watch the subscribers rocket !!!!!!
There are several local Filipinas here I’m trying to interview but to no avail. I’ll keep asking:)
Living the life guys! 😊Happy to see you guys having fun in life again!
Yes! Thank you!
Filipino culture is a positive culture, that's why they don't like negative people because it's a toxic culture. Secret of being sucessful here as an expat is to learn how to be patience.
Yes. Have to chill, relax and smile:)
Hey Chris, nice conversation between you two. I just stumbled onto your channel and will be looking forward to more videos. 👍
Thanks man. Really appreciate it
Thank you for admiring our culture and liking our country. More peace and happiness be with you and all expats who are there. We welcome you with open hearts. 💕
I'm so happy to be here
Great to hear from two American expats focusing on what many others are wondering about-Thanks guys
Thank you for watching.
Because Filipinos are happy people and they value the importance of shame or being ashamed to do something bad or something that can make others feel bad, they are not used to people who shows irritability and anger in public. They also don’t like to be embarrassed in front of a lot of people. They are very sensitive. Once you are talking to the Filipinos and you get angry with them, you have to hold your temper and talk or show your anger to them in private. They can understand if you will be angry because they committed mistakes and it will be easy for them to accept and adjust, just don’t embarrass them in front of other people because most of them will never forget that even when they get old.
Also Filipino's has a low self-esteem and Filipino's don't like debating specially with family's hate confrontation.
I love the IT park and i love this video, great video, i love hearing how the Filipino people are, respect, calm stress free. Great video Chris once again👍
Thank you so much 🤗
The elderly thing blew me away. The first time I visited to see/meet my Filipina... she stopped to help this elderly woman across the street and I almost fell over. I couldn't believe it!
I'm just about to turn 38. I'm planning to retire early there but I have a few more years of work left I need to do here in America. The plan is to bring her here for a few years just to see/experience America and then we'll head to the Philippines for good.
I fell in love with the place immediately. The only thing that shocked me was crossing the street. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get used to playing Frogger with my life. 🤣
Lol right. It’s a skill for sure. Crosswalks are helpful and walking with others until you get the hang of it. Big thing is looking for scooters coming in between cars. We’re not use to that as westerns.
Great video, Chris. I just recently found your channel and look forward to watching more content.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it
yeah it's true..we don't wanna get upset and stress here. We avoid stress here because we prefer to be happy than to feel bad.
Good morning Chris.just like talk show.nice!😊 have a great day to both of you.amping.😊
Yes. Good morning Bella. Hope you’re good there. Amping:)
@@CarefreeChris Yes!thanks Chris 😊
I love it how you positively describe the Phillippines and i'm glad that you like it here...enjoy your stay Chris!😃
Thank you so much
@@CarefreeChris you're welcome!
Why did I just discovered your channel after all this time?! Love your content boss, I badly needed it. So relaxing and refreshing vibes! Much love
Thanks brother. Really appreciate it. Hope all is good there.
Nice conversation guys about the Philippines...New subs here...
Thanks man. Really appreciate it
Everytime I watched your vlogs I enjoyed it the discussion are very interesting. And I would agree Chris Philippines has lots of island. Infact even myself a Filipino didn't get a chance to tour around my own country 😉I would say Cebu compare to neighboring countries speaks better English. BPO industry is a big help too been in call center for 5 years now. Thanks Chris for your vlogs stay safe and enjoy.
Thank you for watching. Really appreciate it
"Janitorial job at State Department" hahaha; awesome! Keep the videos coming young man!
Lol. Thanks for watching
Hi Chris, great conversation between the both of you. Yes I’ve watched TH-cam info On the Philippines last couple of years .Took an early retirement at 55..10 years now.Itching for a month-long visit in September. An old dog but not a porch dog I truly hope I find my Shangri-La.🇨🇦😎
Love that… Old dog but not porch dog. Hope you get out here soon
The best months to come here are November to February where the weather isnt scorching hot and most places in Ph are so festive and lively.
I've been both places and I stayed with the widow lady that I'm friends with in Northern Thailand far away from tourist areas. There was no foreigners anywhere around. I will say the Philippines treat you like a rock star in comparison even though Thai people are very nice. I actually enjoy Thailand way more and it was way cleaner and everything operated way better than the Philippines. The only thing I can say that the Philippines is better at is language and the Visa situation
Yeah. I’m interested in learning more about Thailand and the people. Looks incredible. Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it. Take care there
There are a lot of intangibles that Philippines is better at than just "language and visa" which are nothing more than mere conveniences. And not all places in the country are dirty or poorly operated. Obviously, you don't know much about the Philipppines.
@@PurpleHaze4me Actualy he is correct I have lived in both country's, here in the Philippines for 33 years and lived in Thailand 3 years and been there on visits 5 times since the early 70's and Thailand as a total country is cleaner even Bangkok is clean but you cannot say that about Manila and other places. Yes there are some clean places where the locals take pride and care of their surroundings, usually more in the provinces. There are good and bad about both countries like all countries I think that is what Tango was saying, and I like your youtube name Purple Haze
nice relaxing vid.great channel.two rock stars in the Philippines having a good time.
Lol to fun. Thanks for watching
Great video…you guys had me laughing. Casual talking was great to see and listening to both of you about your experience.
Thanks so much!
From the land of the uptight to the land of smiles! Glad you could get out of the toxic world we lived in.
So crazy there isn’t it. Hope you’re surviving it.
Big connection to America, remittances and nurses, etc.
Yeah. It's a culture we can adjust to easily
great top and discussion. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Filipinos embrace the English language (than the Spanish) in memory of the very first American teachers who taught our forefathers how to read and write when the U.S. bought and colonized the Philippines. The relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines is so deep and Filipinos loyalty to the big brother is beyond measure.
It’s so incredible being here and feeling instantly like I’m home
@@Artko333 The Brits came too, but they didn't last when fought with the Americans.
Uncle Sam made Spanish look bad like kinda old trend in the 50s. So us Fils laugh at Juan, Agapito, Antonio.. Fil names are now John, Xander, Zoey, Kyle, etc. Mine is Ronald after Reagan..
@@semi5alpha Hahahaha I never heard of that.
Never ever forget the amount of Americans who died fighting the Japanese in phillipines. There is a giant cemetery of 17,000 young Americans soldiers who died and bled fighting with brave Filipinos against savage Japanese
You guys are spitting facts. I love it.
Dan's a riot. So glad to be here
this is the video id like to watch, juz two friends talking about ideas, past job, lovelife.,etc..pls carry on.
Yeah. It was fun to shoot too. Dan is a great guy and we have a great time hanging out and talking about our experiences
Agree that pilipinos are more devoted spouse than transactional one because may be we are christians....
Great Vlog Chris, The more I watch, Will probably move my coming there day to Sept
Thanks Zack. Really appreciate it. Gratz on the trip here. Let me know if i can help
@@CarefreeChris Thanks Chris for the reply, I will stay in touch as long as you don't get a big head from your vlogging success like some have, lol,
Lol. I hear ya. I don’t think the entire $180.50 I’ve made so far will be a problem:) I’m here for fun and to help folks out. Shoot me an email when a month out. September will be busy but if happy to help out if i can. If you’re moving out here, for sure reach out. It’s an adjustment
@@CarefreeChris Hahaha Thanks my friend, I will and keep pushing along, I will tell other vloggers about your channel also, and try to get your numbers up, Take care and looking forward to the next video.
Invisible to alive was the best thing that I ever heard 🎉
It’s such a reset on my being.
U guys are awesome!...Enjoy our homeland and thanks for appreciating our culture and most of all the people!It's more fun out there!..👍
Thank you. So happy to be here
Once you live here.. There's overall peace here and relax your mind.
I’m starting to feel the stress of the West wash away
@@CarefreeChris They're taking pictures, they think your Vin diesel..😅😅😅😅. In positive way, of course.
Yeah for sure. It’s been great connecting with people here:)
Thank you carefree Chris and Mr. Rockstar for liking my home city and for appreciating our women and culture. 😊😊😊
Our pleasure!
I love you guys experiencing our beautiful country. I've been living in US for for over 30 yrs now. I was there in 2017 planning to visit soon.
Yes. So beautiful here. Hope you get back here in Philippines soon:)
Love the conversation try to talk to more of them please! And thank him for me for his great service too!!
Yes. Was fun. Thanks for watching
Very good episode. Feels like an introspective discussion in a video/podcast format
Thank you. Was fun to shoot too
We're a Christian country.. big difference for an Asian culture
thank you sir for your vlog, I appreciate on how you like about living in the Philippines. God bless you always and stay safe.
Thank you. Amping:)
Historically, the Philippines was a former colony of the United States, and that is the reason why Filipinos tend to be close to it. Education is just one of the American legacies imparted to Filipinos.
U.S BLOOD has soaked the dirt to free the phillipine people from barbaric savage Japan occupation. I dont remember the colony part
We had the educational system before spanish came. We have our own language and alphabets, math, political system, and we learn other languages so we can trade goods to foreigners. When spaniards came they built universities and they are the oldest universities in asia.
The respect to the elderly "special hand shake" you mentioned is known as amin in Bisaya or mano (po) in Tagalog
Yeah. I love how the culture here respects and nurtures the elderly
@@CarefreeChris Also a misconception in one of your videos, this isn't just for the old people only. Even if you're in your 20s, your niece and nephews will do the same gesture to greet you as well.
Nice vlogs guys, thanks so much 😊❤. I hope 🤞 🙏 you both will find your beautiful Filipina inside out soon 💞💘 be safe and God bless 🙌 🙏
Thank you so much. Amping:)
Guys, you must have met the wrong ladies.
Good Filipinas, you meet them at the office, or from friends or friends of friends or social gatherings such as weddings, bdays or wakes.
The aforementioned women are educated and their family members are in the work force, meaning, the family will never or if by chance of crisis, ask financial support from you.
What ladies you had mentioned are those types whereby they live in the slums and their only hope to move vertically is to marry foreigners.
I am a Filipina and it's not fair being stereotyped as one who live thru " free-lunch".
So much so, " that asking for financial support from in-laws" which is seldom the case.
Honestly, I recommend, you befriend a priest and probably, he will recommend the best partners for you, maybe a lawyer, a teacher or doctor.
Know your worth and do not go for less than you deserve.
Go for someone who you can comfortably communicate with, someone who is articulate, who can express their thoughts, in that way, you will be able to live very enjoyably in the Philippines.
Yes. I agree. I haven't met anyone here in Cebu City yet. I'm not really into the pickup scene. I'm actually considering trying online dating.
Yes, the Philippines embraces the Western World of society EXCEPT the politics of it, which I think is the best part. No political correctness whatsoever. This is the main reason as to why I came back to the Philippines and decided to make it my home.... once again.
It's incredible here for sure
To make your experience in the Philippines go SUPER FANTASTIC take the time and a few dollars and learn the LANGUAGE. The respect you will earn is tremendous that you actually care enough to learn thw language is HUGE! PLUS, you are going to prevent numerous problems for yourself from those who might try to take advantage of your kindness. RED FLAG WARNING. The 19 year old FLIRTS are *rofessionals* Think about it, you are invisible and can't get a date in the USA, WHY are you suddenly a *ROCKSTAR* here? Hence, LEARN THE LANGUAGE!
So important to learn some words
When I was growing up I never had thought how culturally Americanised 🇺🇸 I was until I moved to the Middle East to work. Like many other nationalities, Filipinos were there to work and I would resent when I heard ill-talks about America. Until such a point that I asked myself why I was doing this to America when I hadn’t known any American in a personal level.
But now I know that Filipinos have a collective mindset of affinity to America that stemmed back when America gave the Philippines 🇵🇭 an independence and become a one democratic republic in 1946.
The Philippines could have been a vassal state of Japan 🇯🇵 if America didn’t come to save us in WWII.
Filipinos saw America not as an occupier but a saviour and that sense of gratitudes to the Americans have had become in our DNA until today.
Trust me the “ill talk” about America is justified.
I love and admire america in melitary's perspective, but I rather favor Japanese colonised Phil for the economy's perspective...
Basically Filipiinos are shy..Filipinas are sometimes unaware that they are flirting lol...😊👍❗ Or maybe foreigners think they are flirting when they are just being friendly ❤ Life in the Philippines especially in the provinces is less complicated compared to Western countrues..my opinion. Good conversations too. 😊
Yes. Agree totally. I’m seeing it’s not so much an opening to date (flirt) or even expressing an interest, but a shyness response. Thanks for this comment as it allowed me to see it further.
@@CarefreeChris Exclusive dating happens when the couple is officially in a relationship (bf/gf) but in the big cities you can encounter a few liberated men and women. Have a nice day. 👍
Great interview, my family and I living in San Fernando, Pampanga.
Thank you. I’m so happy to be here.
Chris, I think you do well in interviews, both asking and answering questions, so please don't rule it out for the future. Not saying that it needs to happen all the time, but you have a good blend of thoughtful questioning mixed in with your own personal experiences - heck, I am just glad you aren't talking about peoples bananas like a lot of these vloggers do. You also bring a nice amount of levity, which is welcome - it doesn't need to be too serious and you keep it light and airy. Just get rid of the restless leg syndrome and you are off to the races! You're welcome :P
Love it. Tyvm:)
New subscriber here :). What an interesting conversation. More, please. Question: Have you ever noticed/felt any animosity from local men? Is there ever a sense that you're 'stealing' "their" women? Thanks.
I have not. Everyone, both men and women are equally friendly.
Great question
Filipino's is Easily contented- They tend to say “Ok na ‘to”, or “Bahala na si Batman” meaning whatever it is, then its fine. Only few people has short or long term goals. Lack of innovation drive compared to other Asian countries.
I met my wife in Tarlac, Philippines 🇵🇭 best decision I ever made she's the only woman I ever met who truly loves and cares for me unconditionally.😊
The Philippines is probably the best country to find a life long mate if that’s what you’re interested in finding.
You both are funny! 😂😂😂
I enjoyed watching this vlog, b'coz I super liked the topics. 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching. Really appreciate it
Point of view and Honest opinion. Well, love your channel Cris😊
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it
Watching you two guys from Cavite Philippines
Yes. Thanks for watching:)
Older men younger women is really the underlying dynamic. Few females retire in the Philippines. Why is that?
I think there’s a shift happening. I’m getting more and more inquiries from women looking to retire here as well
Good to hear about legal documents in English.
Yes. It's all in English which is so helpful
very accurate description.... hostility is very rare here in the Philippines... though it's kinda HOT CLIMATE here... but most of the population has CHILL VIBEs...
Yes. Loving it here
Thank you for choosing our country. for the respect and understanding in our culture, yes basketball is life here in the PH 😅
Thank you. I’m so honored to be here. Amping:)
@@CarefreeChris our pleasure to have you guys and enjoying our nature gift from God and our people 😊
Most Filipinos have the most kind heart in the world. They love to help and respect any foreigner who comes to their country but once you are arrogant and disrespect them they will fight back. They really took care of their elderlies, most of them believe that foreigners have a lot of money. So, if you are the BF or married to them you are a big catch that would help them especially those Filipinos who never went to another country but if u really love and take care of them they will really love you back. Family is the most important to them. If the Filipino man have money enough to support his family he just let his wife to stay at home and take care of the kids and the house or vice versa if both agrees. They have a strong family ties and help their families financially. So, better to tell that you are not rich.
For sure. I’m so honored to be here. Thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Amping:)
And English is widely spoken in the PI.
Yeah exactly. So easy to communicate not only to travel around but also key in your relationships where highly effective communication skills are required
Enjoy your stay in the Philippines..take care😊
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Take care there too
I like watching and hearing this conversation between two Americans talking about life in the Philippines. The being invisible person living in U.S.A where the rat race is the norm wherever you go in the State. and now being recognized as a human being and as white men. Philippines has its own view of other colors or race but one thing for sure is that the people there are welcoming and very friendly and loving. I'm a Filipino American and my wife, our daughter will be moving there as we will become retirees and plan to live in a affordable country as oppose to U.S.A. where homelessness is out of control. This tells you that the American system has failed the American people who are widely divided between the two sides of Politics. The future here doesn't look good and the love of many has grown cold as the Bible proclaims. Hopefully things will get better for the good. God bless, both of you.
I'm so honored to be here. It's really incredible here
There's no official customary of dowry in the Philippines. It's always your decision of whether you give her an allowance and help her family. You can always refuse those things as it is not your obligation. No once going to be mad at you, but if they did you know they are in for something. If you're going in for a serious relationship, then a little bit of help to them will definitely bring you closer to the family.
Agree. If you’re in a position to help the family, it’s only going to strengthen that bond between you, your spouse and the family. It’s something to discuss openly and a foreign concept to most westerners
@@CarefreeChris It is. The "You need to help her family as well" has become somewhat of a stereotype for foreigners which is just a big misconception. It may be somewhat true before but today most of the women here have college degrees and can work while taking care of the kids and the house. What can be true is her family or rather her parents may live with you will be the most common. The reasons are Taking care of the parents and elderly is THE CUSTOM here. 2nd is while both you and your wife is at work, they can be the one taking care of the children. But then again it can be decided not to. Depends on what personality of families you're trying to get around with. Hook up culture is little non. Most of them are foreigners themselves looking for that kind of life here. Its fine as long as you don't get into trouble.
I totally disagree with this. The family has to learn how to stand on their own 2 feet. They have brothers and sisters old enough to work and or go to school. They are old enough to earn. So why would "YOU" put yourself in a predicament to take care of GROWN FOLKS? That's crazy!!!! If you wouldn't do it in the states with your own family then why would you do it here in the Philippines? I don't support any of my wife's family. I don't give them anything. I did before and all they did was come back for more. I'll be damned if I'm gonna take care of some grown ass man or woman. Sorry can't do it. I wouldn't even do it with my own family in the states. So if I were any of you please think. Think real hard if you are goin to take care of grown people who are CAPABLE of taking care of themselves. Some will take advantage of you and they will say you're the "bad guy". I don't care what they call me. No one gave me anything I had to go out and get it. I worked hard for mine. And they can too.....I'm just sayin.
@@byun3256 I disagree this is not a misconception. This is the TRUTH here in the Philippines.
New subscriber filipina living in the AZ. guys be careful when choosing a girl trust your instincts and never doubt your first instinct.
Good stuff. Thank you
The Philippines is definitely not perfect but you guys say it yourself, it is a very positive place even with the numerous natural disasters occurring. I just hope you guys will develop the same patience as the Filipinos. TBH, the English, especially in the provinces has deteriorated a lot but Filipinos strive hard to learn it. Safe travels!
It's been great so far. Tons to learn but all in all it's been great
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
:)
Is Dan still in the Philippines? I hope he’s still enjoying his time there.
He is and he's settling in nicely.
Funny how he said it, invisible in the States and Rockstar in the Philippines. Stay Happy!!!
lol i know right but so true. In the states i didn't have a lot of option. Here, there are so many options. It's overwhelming for most guys when they get here.
I lived in the Philippines and everybody ALWAYS misses this HUGE fact, 90% of the Country is Catholic/Christian and if you don't think that has a lot to do with it you need to read up on a dude called Jesus. Thailand is 90% Buddhist, different cultural zeitgeist. Give a Filipino an unexpected gift and they'll thank you like it was Christmas morning. Heck in America you can't even say Merry Christmas without all the vampires having a meltdown.
Lol yeah. Spot on. Thanks for watching. Really appreciate it
I was friends with a Filipino and he told me they had a Filipino neighbor who was 75 when ended up marrying a 19 year old Filipina woman. And they ended up having 3 kids. And the gentleman wasn’t exactly rich either but well respected and raised a happy family
Yeah. Age gap relationships are more common here
@@CarefreeChris Locally, it's not really the norm for couples to have a big age difference. You mostly see that happening when young women date foreigners, rich folks, or celebrities. But when it comes to Filipino-Filipino relationships, the age gap isn't as common.
Back in the day (and still to this day for some), people used to frown upon younger women dating much older foreigners. But things have changed now. It's become more common, and a lot of these relationships actually last long-term. So, it's not as looked down upon as it used to be.
I'm 58, very athletic, and decent looking... I'm excited about getting a 30 year old girlfriend/wife... love this video thank you. I have a union crane operating career in Northern California and I plan on working short projects with 6 to 7 days a week and flying to the Phillipines the other 8 months. Do you think that would work out?
Yeah man. 8 months here sounds great. You'll love it. Come do a test trip.
