the govt. is avoiding women trafficking, it is not about being sexist or inequality because it is also the task of the Phil. govt. to bring the women home if problems arise, dead or alive so nobody can blame the govt. in its strict rules
Mark, great guest Robert, cheers to both of you. And Robert - congratulations to you and to your new wife - may God Bless you both for a happy long life ..
When the security guard saw me at the SM Mall Exhibits in Quezon City, he came right up to me. Not to arrest me or to give me a hard time, but to have his picture taken with me. A wonderful memory. 🙂
You mentioned you lived in Greensboro, I live in Fayetteville, Nc and we are moving to the Philippines in 3 months, hopefully we can cross paths someday. Have a good one!
You're right, Mike. When a foreign man comes here to the Philippines to find a woman as his partner, you must really have pure intentions and, if you're quite secured and decent, you'll surely meet one. Also, it's built on mutual understanding, honesty and acceptance. It truly depends on your approach and right intentions.
Good interview Mark! You scratched the surface and the Nutball started to leak out. Unfortunately Peru is in political disarray. Recently the president tried to disband the Congress and the Congress arrested the president.
Thumbs up and really appreciate the qualities of most of the guys reestablishing in that area. I like the comparisons they come up with many are right in line with how I live and think... Roberts geodesic dome sound fascinating, sustainable living, myself being a lifelong Builder. Congratulations to all with that quality partner and quality lifestyle.🙏🙏🙏
That law is NOT at all meant to be sexist, but that law is very very necessary especially for a country like Philippines. Lots of Filipino women in the past have been put into either labor abuse or white slavery or sex slavery overseas, and so have or are in some other countries. Before this law was made, there had been lots and lots of tragic stories. Most of the victims were poor or from the provinces, and most of them had been tricked or brought in by people who have become infamous and known in the Philippines as "illegal recruiters". But after that, and worse than the illegal recruiters, were the men who will purposely marry the Filipina woman so she can skip the CFO when she travels out of the country by herself. That's how and why the CFO became very strict. Now, i bet you won't be surprised, that a lot of those women had children and husbands. Some of them were able to escape but not for a while, others just went missing, and the others came back home in a body bag. Put through hell in a place they don't know, they don't know anyone, and not knowing if they will ever make it out, or if someone will come rescue them so they can see and feel their children or loved ones again.
yup that's right & I think what they mentionef about moneyed women are okay to go refers to tourists who can really afford to do so hence it's no problem. The Govt protects women by ensuring that they should be able to finance themselves abroad so they can stand on their own & not fall prey to illegal means ... it's not descrimination but more on protection. It's better to be poor in your own country than in a foreign land.
exactly. it's not a rights thing, but more about protection, in this case, specifically for human trafficking. there's been many situations in the past where filipino women and children had been trafficked, and this is one way to protect them.
I'm just curious about that CFO. We got married in the Philippines and sponsored my wife to come to Canada but we didn't have such a paper. Still happily married almost 15 years now.
These laws were put up recently. Mostly in response to the influx of Filipino workers going to the Middle East and then reports coming back that they were raped, imprisoned because they had children out of wedlock from their bosses (despite rape), their passports taken and placed into forced labor, and sold online on FB market place as unpaid domestic workers etc...
it was a 9 foot diameter geodesic dome hyperbaric chamber at Dr. Donsbach hospital. he is dead now and the hospital is closed. was made from quarter inch angle and quarter inch plate.
@@obertosiciliano1243 Nobody needs a government to "feel" or to "be" protected. The most terrifying phrase you could imagine ever is: hi, I'm with the government and I'm here to help you.
Great interview Mark like all your interviews you should have got a job at 20:20 and not on a ship...., I wish the gentleman would have told us a little bit more about it is wife or future wife from what I remember born in pi first time back known her physically in a month and he's getting married for the third time I might have missed something but I was just curious thanks again mark..
They're so laid back and not so stressed out like we Westerners are. Perhaps a little too laid back. Maybe the happy medium is somewhere between Westerners and Filipinos.
Amen brother,preppers aren't wrapped to tight' If there was a world wide catastrophe who in their right mind would want to live a few weeks or months longer before radiation poisoning, lack of medical or public order. Preppers are mentally ill.
100% agreed. This man has a lot of skeletons in his closet. And it only gets worse as the interview proceeds. This is why many of us prefer to make filipino friends because a lot of these expats come with dark histories that they're hiding.
This guy is interesting, but he comes off like a religious extremist. I understand his issues with his ex-wives, but I fear that any woman may not satisfy his belief system. I hope I am wrong.
Nothing extreme about noticing the increasing hatred, violence, corruption and lack of human compassion in the world and realizing the Bible says these things will lead to prophetic events. And with or without spiritual beliefs, preparing to defend ourselves from increasingly desperate societies is what a good man does to care for those he loves and his own dignity.
@@jlmarc01 but says nothing about the women who would do that....? maybe due to their selfishness and wicked hearts they didn´t want to take care of their children and I did.
@@mt.sinairefuge3208 thanks for doing the interview. Your story was very interesting. You seem honest and very hard working. I didn’t notice anything that would suspect something bad for your filipina. Best of luck
Did Robert also have to take a "Marriage Class" before getting married in the P.I. to His Filipina? And there is a 2 week waiting period also before He got married?
He is actually right. So many Americans are prepping for doomsday scenarios. Preppers will survive. The Philippine immigration protect s women for abuse from their foreigners husbands or boyfriends. Some have died in other countries from their husbands.
This CFO is not about class discrimination or sexism by the system. It is about avoiding sex trafficking and exploitation of women. Y’all should know better since most of you are well travelled. I agree that western based feminism should not be exported to other cultures since there is already an indigenous feminist view in Pi for thousands of years. But here i see your own worldview being bandied in this video without taking into consideration the historical perspective of a state policy. Not a good portent for “enlightened” menfolk. As the romans are wont to say: when in rome,…
I understand this guy's sentiment about being a prepper. But in my opinion, it's better to have an optimistic attitude about the world and future. There have been many gold bugs (investors) who are waiting for the economy to crash because of how unsustainable the world appears and people to go back to trading in gold. In the meantime, there are many people running successful businesses here in the US and building lives for themselves. Fun interview. I would have fun talking with this guy.
I am actually not much of a prepper myself as much as I prepare other peoples preps by building their farms. th-cam.com/video/h7bDLKGLFgE/w-d-xo.html doesn´t mean I wouldn´t be if I had the time.
Its a safety thing as i see. As a local, protecting women is a big thing for us and making sure that they are not forced or coerced into going with foreign men. No offense on that part.
From everything I have heard is it not worth it. The general advice is that you will pay as much for taxes as shipping. I checked the shipping costs from USA and it is about $3000 to $5000 just for shipping. Then the taxes will be $5000 more. Plus the paperwork and aggravation. Then you need to register the car and get it inspected. Just purchase a car in the Philippines.
Filipinas are not treated as second class citizens in their own country. They are protected by the government from pristitution, from slavery and from whatever abuse that involves brute force. Filipinas are treated equal with Filipino men. Filipinas can express themselves quite freely.
Your born in phillipines? I'm assuming that you born inside the base, then your American, that just how it works!! My husband in the military, even do my child born in the phillipines, but born inside the base, she's still american.
The problem is that with third world countries is that you will find that often the cause is the dis empowerment of women and religion. Tell my of one country where religion has ever bothered to address this? Thanks for sharing Mark. Great interview.
I wish you all the best - ( Good on you lots )...Hoping it last Forever ( I mean it'll last longer until your last breath - I mean it )...BECAUSE WE ALL WANT TO LIVE & TO BE HAPPY.

Interesting story, hopefully the third time is the charm.
Amazing guy, very interesting, could lisen to him all day.

Nice!
Same thing to the guard 💂♂️ have a wonderful memory 😂😂😂
Yes I like to have that kind a house geodesic Dom house I think its awesome.
This guy has been through the ringer and still has a smile on his face, another great story.
I'm always impressed how clean cut and well dressed the Expats are. I'm going to look like late stage Howard Hughes when I retire.
Thumbs up for you Mike very nice interview by a nice man hope he and his wife are doing well Be well Mike and have a happy new year
Robert congratulations your a Filipino just like Tim Tibow .
Great interview and story. It is nice to hear a person who is well traveled and shares his experience with others. God Bless.
You mentioned you lived in Greensboro, I live in Fayetteville, Nc and we are moving to the Philippines in 3 months, hopefully we can cross paths someday. Have a good one!

Or he might be something or someone first where’s the ex wives? Hopefully they are not missing
Excellent video Mark, He would do well to settle in the Philippines if he so chooses
Good interview Mark! You scratched the surface and the Nutball started to leak out. Unfortunately Peru is in political disarray. Recently the president tried to disband the Congress and the Congress arrested the president.
The DA and congress did the right thing. That president was corrupt. The law worked.
My experience is that the cfo is pretty straight forward.
Wow thats really great
I love this interview, it is eye-opening.
Great interview. I'm binge watching all your videos now. Makes me want to visit Dumaguete myself someday. Happy New Year from Luzon!
Thank you for watching ☺️
Visit Visayas and Mindanao areas so you'll complete the LuzViMinda

Tim Tebow was also born in the Philippines.
Really? I didn't know that. 😕
Good info.
Hi Mark! This is George and Cynthia from Canada. We are at Ground Zero right now hoping to see you and Paul and Bud today before we go back to Cebu.

I really appreciate you explaining this! I’m glad the process is in place and hope it is effective!
Some incidents used those poor women as drug couriers
They should go after the shady recruiters.

I think this applies to Filipinos traveling under work visas--not fiance visas
This requirements was just recently implemented and not even 15 years i guess..
Am going that process CFO for safety...am here in America...

Interesting dude,love to here more about the hyperbaric adventure in mexico
it was a 9 foot diameter geodesic dome hyperbaric chamber at Dr. Donsbach hospital. he is dead now and the hospital is closed. was made from quarter inch angle and quarter inch plate.
It's not treating Fil. women as 2nd class citizens, just protecting them more bec they're more "vulnerable".
@@obertosiciliano1243 Nobody needs a government to "feel" or to "be" protected. The most terrifying phrase you could imagine ever is: hi, I'm with the government and I'm here to help you.
Absolutely, foreigners critising a process protecting filipinas is annoying. It is not very hard to find the reasons why immigration do this.
@@jdschannel7216 exactly. With that phrase you know you’ll be in real trouble very soon if you don’t pay attention

such a good interview ! thx BRO !
Thank you 😊
This dude is "fascinating"! 🙃😆 I thought I have had an "unusual" life! 🤣 I stand corrected!
Happy New Year Sir 👋👋👋
welcome to the philippines!
"Just coming here will make you feel better." Refering to the Philippines. It's the energy, the vibration, and the people?
They're so laid back and not so stressed out like we Westerners are. Perhaps a little too laid back. Maybe the happy medium is somewhere between Westerners and Filipinos.
You will be accorded great respect. That will definitely make you feel better.
It's good that the Philippine government protects the women.
Hi Mark, very interesting interview with Robert,found it to be inspirational. Do you have an email address for Robert re getting advice on Peru ?
Hi. Interesting guy… would love to find out if he still build bunk beds. How to get in touch with him. I’m also Filipina but raised in the USA 😊
We’ll definitely have to go there
Curious if he travels on a Peruvian, or Phil, or US passport.
My sister was born in the Philippines 1961, we lived at Subic NAS till 1962. I have been living in Berlin Germany since 1980. Live is interesting.
Great interview Mark, I didn't get the construction type he does. What are they called?
Geodesic domes
@@everymanhasastory Thanks friend 👍
Good luck in the PH!
The reason for the scrutiny leaving Philippines is to protect the woman against prostitution. It’s a reason it’s there.
I'm three minutes into your interview and I think this guy really has a sketchy history.
Amen brother,preppers aren't wrapped to tight' If there was a world wide catastrophe who in their right mind would want to live a few weeks or months longer before radiation poisoning, lack of medical or public order. Preppers are mentally ill.

nice descent guest!
Interesting and unique guy. 👍
Good interview Mark! I think he’s captured well why men are fleeing the west for places like the Philippines 🇵🇭
He know what going on in America. He saw it . .
Did Robert also have to take a "Marriage Class" before getting married in the P.I. to His Filipina? And there is a 2 week waiting period also before He got married?
Yes he did
This nervous “ Doomsday Dude “ Is pretty creepy. Feel bad for the new bride, hopefully immigration saves her and stops her from leaving.
she is happy. sounds like you have issues yourself
What is wrong with you, you can’t judge him just by hearing a piece of him...sounds like the girl is ok..
He is actually right. So many Americans are prepping for doomsday scenarios. Preppers will survive. The Philippine immigration protect s women for abuse from their foreigners husbands or boyfriends. Some have died in other countries from their husbands.
Born in the Philippines. Isn’t he a Filipino citizen by birthright or eligible for dual citizenship?
A filipina can go anywhere as long you have a visa. If ever she can be stop is if there is a suspicion of sex trafficking

I've got a feeling this guy isn't what he seems...
what am I then?
Why do you need to build bunker in Peru or Philippines ?? In case of nuclear wars small far away countries will survive with out any bunkers
true...I suppose it is for the potential for locals attacking. People want them though. th-cam.com/video/h7bDLKGLFgE/w-d-xo.html
In the States, the cops have a quota for arrests!
so they are not trafficked

It’s also about protecting the women particularly because Filipina women are being traded for sex. They have data on that for a fact.
Would it be worth shipping a car over ?
From everything I have heard is it not worth it. The general advice is that you will pay as much for taxes as shipping. I checked the shipping costs from USA and it is about $3000 to $5000 just for shipping. Then the taxes will be $5000 more. Plus the paperwork and aggravation.

No
That’s true LOL if A Pinay go to any other countries,MUST HAVE GOOD BANK ACCOUNTS. Thank you MOM I can travel anywhere .
Hundreds of Flights Cancelled in manila , brown out at the airport lol someone forgot to pay the power bill hahahahhahaha
I just can’t imagine a mother abandoning her children, let alone two women. Shameful!
This guy also has a Filipino citizenship by birthright born in the Philippines.
Everyman has a STRANGE story sometimes...

This guy is very smart. I cannot understand why his ex wives left him. He is sitting on a treasure trove and they are too dumb to see.
Did you ask him if being born in the PH he could get citizenship and work and start his own business.
I did and he said he can't.
Its not like in America
@@everymanhasastory Thank you.

I will go insane if I get separated with my kids. He's wife left their children as if they were puppies.
I know. Sad
Some good guys are not lucky enough to find the real one.
Hahaha
The problem is that with third world countries is that you will find that often the cause is the dis empowerment of women and religion. Tell my of one country where religion has ever bothered to address this? Thanks for sharing Mark. Great interview.
I think you have a valid point. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
He has good points. The devil is at work in the west.
Confusing life.
His way or the highway kind of guy. Very opinionated. I am guessing the wives chose the highway
I agree...this guy is greasy. There's two sides to every story.
Once he has his Filipina out of the country she will never be heard from again.
they were wicked adulterers who abandoned their children....maybe you know about that.
Hi sir be careful for filipina SCAMMER period.
I think he is a spy.
Problems w/latin women? They are not westernized. You just couldnt pull em..
Ah, Americans. You can always guarantee that within the first minute they mention either the military or religion. Hey. maybe try not doing that?
why, are there no religions where you live?
And why should this offend anyone?
