Your absolutely correct When I arrived at the Manila Airport I got a taxi he was go charge me 3 thousand pesos which is around $60 us Thank God my Gf arrived and we got another taxi just her being with me I payed 300 pesos. Learn tagalog is a must yes they speak English but some play dumb and speak tagalog to try and get over on you
Nobody will ever need a loan unless they’re waiting on an inheritance or a settlement. That would be the only reason that someone would need a loan that had the ability to pay it back. You’ll never get the money back a lot of times you lose the friendship over the money, or they ask for more money, after failing to pay you back by the deadline, and never mentioned again.
Hey Jasper, I commend you for not taking the route a lot of the other Philippine vloggers have taken which is to interview young girls. You are proof your channel can explode without that
Add. Have native Filipinos you trust accompany you often. (Luckily, I know some in every trip to The Philippines 🇵🇭. ) Do not dress like you have money. Poor people and scammers will approach foreigners who disregard this advice. Do not show that you hate food. Just eat some of the food. Stuff yourself with drinks or other food. Also note, in China 🇨🇳 and in Chinese restaurants, leaving food on your plate 🍽 means that you are full! 🤯 This is different etiquette than in Western nations. Taxis 🚕 will rip you off, especially if you do not tell them to turn on the meter. In karaoke 🎤, never pick My Way. Men were murdered for singing that song poorly. 💀 Related. You can sing the Bon Jovi-Max Martin song It's My Life. My Life is referenced in the song and is a different song. You will simply be ridiculed if you are off-key in that song! 😃
Great Video Jasper!!!! I just decided that my Filipino name is going to be Bond … Jasper Bond😂😂😂 …. Everything you just advised applies even more so here in the DR. The only person allowed in my apartment is my cat and my cleaning gal. When my cleaning gal comes to clean I make sure that I have my extra phones, wallet, credit cards, cash etc etc locked in me safe and I make sure that my safe keys are taped to my body with several layers of tape covering an ace bandage and of course I never leave while she is here. In this country if you take a cab you are asking to be robbed. You can’t even take Uber in the DR because they will rip you off. I’ve been here long enough that everyone knows where I live. I was having showing up at my door at 2:00am that I didn’t even know so I solved that problem by getting a dog that goes ape shit whenever a stranger enters the property. Everyone knows my name but when I move to the Philippines I will be “Bond … Jasper Bond” I absolutely never tell anyone how much money I have and I always wear the same clothes pretty much every day. Shorts, T-Shirt, and converse. Why converse instead of sandals? Because if someone tries to pick pocket me and then run, I can run faster wearing converse in order to catch them and beat their ass. It’s easier to fight wearing converse than it is wearing sandals. I do gift people money every now and then but only if they tell me that they are hungry. Otherwise when someone asks me for money I tell them that I only have a credit card and no cash. BTW when I do go out, I never carry more than 2,000 pesos on me which = $43 dollars. The Philippines is nowhere as bad as it is in the DR. In the Philippines I would guess that 65 to 80% of the people are honest. In the DR less than 10% are honest and 100% of the ones who I have met who are honest are called Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Yeah bro I’m the same way I had a cleaning lady come the other day and I put my 1700 American dollars in my pocket and all my iPhones basically all of my valuables even though she’s a great gal I’m not looking to give away one year salary
@@jerryd9124 yeah I just realize that people are borrowing money so unless they’re receiving like a massive settlement or inheritance or something how would they ever be in a position to pay you back unless it’s like five dollars a week so I don’t like having to like harass people like if it’s a lot of money or like show up at their work or something like it’s always like they’re acting like you’re doing them a favor I mean they’re doing you a favor by paying you back your money late so I just I’m either doing a giveaway or I’m just gonna give you a hard know whether it’s like 20 bucks I can spare for you or if you’re like a super high-level friend that has helped me out maybe I’ll give you like 1000 bucks but yeah loans or 90% of the time not loans they are gifts whether you like it or not
I have had more than one Pinay tell me that they know I have money since I never talk about money. I get a laugh out of some of the stuff they say. I've been around on fast tracks and man you are articulate, sharp and knowledgeable to the max. Man I think your ship has really come in via YT if that's what you want. With Respect, JP
Yeah bro, this is straight up really good advice. One thing I'll add is be careful if you stay in any old, cheap hotels. I was trying to take a nap in a hotel in Manila one afternoon and all of a sudden woke up briefly and out of the corner of my eye noticed the electrical cord to the A/C unit was starting to smoke and burn. Whole room coulda burned down with me in it. Went to the hotel desk to report and the lady is like , okk salamat we will call the electrician. Close call.
Great advice jasper another thing I want to mention is don't add people you don't know on your personal social media accounts, Make a different account and don't add to much personal information use a nickname and be careful of what you share on social media Try to stay under the radar Thanks for sharing 👍
@PhillyWilly in the Philippines i have been using multiple Facebook accounts for the last 10 years and never had 1 account closed as long as your not doing anything you shouldn't be doing the chances of Facebook closing your account isn't going to happen you can also use a VPN.
that's very true Jasper, as a local we don't give our house address unless you are a business colleague and you have a business room for a meeting, otherwise meet outside, for the Taxi, you are right, I also don't advise and even us we hardly use a taxi, unless you are in Baguio, first meet up, NEVER we NEVER bring our first meet up to our condo or house, even if that person is drunk, and find him a ride go with him if necessary to his house so that he can be safe and then leave him to his family, NEVER use thousands only use hundred and smaller coins and bills, for a palengke, never bargain from a higher amount, always ask them of how much the price, and ask for a hundred lower or 50 lower,
I agree with you Jasper I take taxi cabs but I do it with family members because their Filipino and so I feel safer because they know what to do in those cases
Exactly it’s just not necessary especially when you have a tiny place and it’s not like a party or something unless it’s like an old friend or a good buddy that you know very very very well. It’s better to keep your space private or for you and your lady.
@@JasperinthePhilippines yes my first and only apartment I had was nothing the brag about was 15 years ago cost $150 bucks us. Two rooms bedroom and kitchen CR and living room combo. My wife was happy she was living in a boarding house in the city and her mom was living in a small small nippa hut. We did build a decent house that is now in my wife's name lot and house. Since her mom died 3 months ago yesterday. So there was no reason to bring anyone to my apartment. I did take my grandfather to see my apartment he really wanted to see how I was living in and amongst the people. He was impressed course he lived very simple as a child.
@PhillyWilly in the Philippines yes I would have done the same too. My first LDR in Butuan got a little possessive when I called if off with her. The next morning when I opened the door to go eat breakfast she was waiting outside my door. Very awkward. She started claiming she was having dreams that certain people in my family were going to die if we didn't get back together. I don't know why the resort allowed her past the front desk. I left the island and went to cebu and my problems and drama disappeared.
@PhillyWilly in the Philippines one thing I caught right at first. When they give you their password to their email so that you can see they are not chatting with someone else. Well I knew that don't prove nothing but I know they was doing that so that to show your loyalty you would share your password. I knew that. So after I left her island I also changed my email I was using over there. She got my email with in a few days. Changed it again. Two days she got it again. I contacted a guy I met who's girlfriend was friend's of this LTR. I asked have you shared you password on your email with your gf? He said yes how did you know that. Then I Blocked him.
Elegant neighborhood Very nice fountain If someone asks for money pretend you did not hear anything and walk away If they run after you ignore them It is illegal to give money Presidential decree 1563 Great advice!
Yeah I mean some people wouldn’t think of the things that I said most people are racing the girls to their beautiful apartment and a taxi cab like Los Angeles or something. Etc etc.
Actually you can take a taxi BUT at agreed contract price. For example, offer the driver 300 pesos from BGC to Rizal Park, if he agrees, then, go for it. That’s it.
Yeah I wouldn’t ever do that because they could say you heard them wrong and say it’s 1300 and then it’s just not worth it it’s just not necessary it’s not tracked I wouldn’t do it unless I absolutely had to and I’m sure it would be fine, but my advice to new guys coming in with a bunch of cash and stuff and you know that shitty cab drivers try to get me to ride with them at Manila. AirPort Maybe they want to rob me. They were definitely trying to overcharge me. It’s just not necessary unless you’re desperate and like your phones dead or something
It’s all track if the car even stopped at a stoplight for too long they ask if you’re OK just like in the United States only take Uber I only take Grab if it’s an option like in Boracay there is no grabs. I’ll take trikes and I just make sure I’m crystal clear about what I’m gonna pay if I charter the tryke
#1 Never Marry or Date a girl that is poor or YOU will be supporting Her and Her Entire Family Indefinitely. Instead, Date/Marry a girl that is an "Asset" (is educated, has a well paid job, etc.,) #2 Never build a House and put in under a Filipino's name or you can kiss Your House Goodbye! #3 Never be "Too Kind" with people or they will see this as Your Weakness and take advantage of You. #4 Never Believe all the LIES about how" Filipinas are God's Gift to Men". Instead come to realize that Filipinas have flaws just like other women from around the world. #5 Never, EVER "Let Your Guard Down" around Filipinos and other Foreigners because they can easily screw You over when you least expect it. Instead, Stay Sharp and Alert and "Trust No One."
Jasper way to keep it real !! I been going by those rules for years. . Keep the knowledge flowing . Their are a lot of knuckleheads coming to the Ph that need all the help they can get !!
Jasper..What you've got in here are Truest True not only for those going to the Philippines..but definitely UNIVERSAL for any country of destination. This is a First Time Travel Handbook/ Bible for EVERYONE!! Your hands-on, very detailed Street live-as-viewed Vlogs serves as a No-holds-barred Travel Template for 1st Time Travellers!!❤❤❤❤
Yeah I realized at the end of this was universal advice when I was giving my final monologue but either way I’m in the Philippines and it certainly applicable to a foreign land on a tourist visa
You know the 1st time my husband & I went to TJ, Mex I felt like I went to Hell. All I hear was Loud music 🎶 from everywhere, the ground was actually Shaking from all the Ppl ponding on the dance floor & dancing, the worst is, as (young as I was back then) I can't see S#it, bc of all the smoke on the cooking on the street. W/c is not a bad thing. But it was Wild! A woman was trying to hump on me and dancing, ( to make money 💰 💲) it was like WTF?. I was like "What was that"? So Crazy it's everywhere on this Fk'g side of the world 🌎🌍! So any place on earth, be Very AWARE of where You're at! Ok dokie!!!!!
1. My favorite response when women or anyone asks me personal questions, "That's personal information I cannot reveal at this time" 🤣 Her place is always the best option. 2. If she lives with family then Hotel. 3. Money, unless you are giving it to them as a gift do not lend. Even family are sometimes the worse they will assume they money you let them borrow is theirs and will not fully pay you back. 4. As far as bringing a Filipina back to the house. If you have known her a few weeks, met her family, then yes I would have her over. Don't let her move in! They will try. Only after a 1 year relationship then maybe. I would also have an indoor camera just in case I get accused falsely of any wrong doings . Jasper my boy, I appreciate the points of reality you make especially for these young men that get blinded by Pu**y. Always keep your options open. That beautiful woman you just met is nothing special. She Sh*ts just like you do. Don't be blinded by lust. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to hearing you on the next live.
Yeah bro exactly like I get it that we’re all gonna end up having these girls over but we don’t need to do it within 15 minutes of meeting them and then every girl that I’ve had come over basically doesn’t wanna leave. I basically have to say all right now sweetie it’s time to go. Gotta get some rest are all the meat like yeah like girls don’t ever wanna leave when they come over to any of my places whether it’s my little Boracay place or this place & ya basically the stuff seems like common sense but when you’re an excited guy that just went from a four to a nine yeah no, you could find yourself in a world of hurt. Just you know take it easy and enjoy the attention. But yeah, this is perfect advice for newbies. Obviously most of us know better but yeah. For sure bro I’ll see you in the next live.
People on the street always ask me a where do you live and I go oh I’m coming to your house for dinner. Let me know your exact address and then they realize how stupid it is from Boracay to manila.
@@JasperinthePhilippinesMy former partner's friends would pop by for what I assumed was for supper and evening chat. One week later I was wondering why they were still there! We lived in Metro Manila and getting around there is challenging at best and so I didn't mind them staying over the first night and then catching their taxi/bus/train home the next morning.
Never let anyone know how much money u have..its pretty much self explanatory why..b4 you go to any country dont ride a taxi...go get an uber or grab..what jasper is saying or telling you 1st timers is very helpful and very informative..
It still bothers me that men do this stuff when going abroad. Being friends with anyone will always be what I do first in anything. Never give in to anyone’s demands. If a pina is actually traditonal she should never ask for money unless your living together and married. People who always expect too much don’t deserve us men and never will 🙏
It sounds very paranoid but its good to make friends or hire a guide . Use a ATM or bank transfer or remitly or WU your money to you. Hotel shuttles and guards at hotels have transportation.
@@JasperinthePhilippines So I’m hanging with a Colombiana and a Peruviana. You have me convinced that the Philippines is where it’s at bro. I like them and it’s close to the USA. But I love the beach and little spinners. Haha
Yes don't give them your name. If you remember, I thanked you earlier for the "don't get handcuffed at the airport" advice. I'm not sure how, because I'm pretty aware of my PII, but one of the girls I was talking too found me in my hotel!!! I got a call from the office stating "someone was looking for me". Actually freaked me out a little. My whatsapp is on a textnow #, I never gave out my last name, etc. WTF...
Here's a few James Bond style aliases. For Men: Mike Oxhard, Hugh G. Reckshun, Ken I. Lickette, Ivan Poosee. For Women: Anita Mandalay, Wanda Dumee, Ivana B. Dikt, Bea Mycock.
I have broken several of your rules and thus far have been ok...taxis in Manila are ok if you use their language a little, as they may think you are not some noob. I have had a crazy to my apartment in BGC, but she was easily dealt with, with a not too long conversation in a cafe in my building. But others of your rules are world wide...not just Philippines.
I have an alternative thought about lending money. I agree to what you said, but if you are in a relationship with a Philippina and her brother, uncle or something is a pain in the a** and you can nver get rid of him: give him a reasonably big loan (for the Philippines) but make it very clear that you expect to get the money payed back the next time he sees you. You will never get the money back, but you will probably not have to see that guy for the next five years. For me it was very well spent money! :)
This is same things we would always tell the new people upon arriving and getting acclimated. On the never loan money, want to say ESPECIALLY family of your significant other. If you feel guilty or they have legit reason to ask (fire, flood, typhoon) then give it as a gift, like you said what you feel you can afford, and NEVER EVER expect it back. And if you do, for heaven's sake don't ask them for it, you just begging for trouble.
My exe's brother died at the age of 29 after a one week illness. To this day I feel some guilt that maybe he didn't want to ask my ex for some money from me for treatment, and that choice ended up being a fatal one. It didn't help that my ex sent me a photo of his brother on the hospital mortuary slab. I ended up sending a very large donation for the funeral expenses. I sometimes think his brother died because my ex knew and I knew that a "sick relative" request for money for medicine or a hospital stay was a well-known con leveled against ex-pats. A relationship with a Filipino means you'll have to make some serious moral decisions, sooner or later, regarding how you spend your money. Just saying "no" all the time doesn't cut it for me. If I marry a fellow native of my own country I would certainly be willing to help her family if one of them was dying from cancer and couldn't afford to buy their pain medication. Saying "No" (or "yes") can quickly become a moral tug-of-war between your wallet, your relationship and your conscience. If an expat is just out to get laid then he has no worries. Many expats however, come to The Philippines for a life partner. They better think about how they'll deal with the minefields that await them! This also pertains to the online expats.
Philippines is a beautiful country. Number1 tourist destination around the globe. it's more fun in the Philippines but it is not a place for tourists men to come here to look for a prostitution. Prostitution in the Philippines is illegal and prohibited in law.Filipinas are beautiful, decent, living in a simple lives, educated people and not easily get by any men tourists.Filipinas or Filipino women are well respected by male Filipinos especially by their husbands they are lovely women that should not be used as spare tires.We Love the Philippines.🇵🇭👩👏👏
Yeah, I mean I basically said at the end if you watch to the end that this could really be applied anywhere, but I’m certainly on a tourist visa, and I what will be a strange land to you at first lol
in the old days of the porn industry they would call the girls who got the guys ready for the camera Fluff Girls, I propose that we all start calling the women who set up scams Fluff Girls, the Expat brothers need a code word for communication
Yes I using a fake name would make since. I have heard of someone who was detained at the airport because he was hitting on younger ladies and one of these ladies mother reported him. Yes never take someone to your place. And yes consider it a gift.
@PhillyWilly in the Philippines Gotta be careful in the situation like maybe skip it if she looks young or make your literal first question how old are you like and I’m sure everything at Starbucks on camera but yeah if someone even looks borderline and it’s really hard to tell with Filipinas I would just make that literally my first question how old are you?
Yep, true, they'll always think you have money even if you don't. I only give if I want to, and it's never a 'loan'😂😂 I have said "Tell you what, I'll buy a kiss"😂 they usually laugh.....
I am going to make one more comment then I am going to get out of here. Feel like I am hogging up the comments. The word borrow or lend 99 percent of the time in the Philippines is a way for Filipinos to save face. They don't want to say. Can you give me. Which would be a more honest a statement. But that is not the way it works there in the Philippines. So when someone says lend me think give me.
I think that’s how it works in the United States. I did pretty good in the United States and people are always coming to me to borrow money but they would literally say let me borrow $200 for 48 hours. They wouldn’t pay me back and then a month later that hit me up for more money and I’d be like what the f. But yeah, I’m sure even more so in the Philippines, since it’s less fortunate than the good old United States, but yeah, at the end of the day there’s no such thing as alone unless somebody’s receiving an inheritance or a settlement that’s for sure there would never be the ability to pay back a loan if you’re that type of person that’s down that bad
I have worked for loan companies in the USA many years. I was aways taking people to court for non payment not one of those judgements were paid. When you are dealing with people who don't have anything you can't get anything. I also own a martial arts academy today. People get behind, people stop training. I don't take people to court unless I have to get them out of a rental unit. (Parents own rental properties) Then I have no choice. Many times I say to myself. If they can live with it I can live without it. I release the negativity and then something positive happens.
This is so true! If anyone from my relatives would borrow money from me, I’d only give what i can risk..if they will not pay me back (which happens a 100%) i just think that it is a help, charity 😅..for friends, i could never think of their debts as donation. If they say “borrow”, they should pay it. But how to collect 4k usd? It has been 5yrs since they promised to pay me 😂..they would think i forgot about it.
@@doobieatenara7649 when I first met my wife's family I was surprised at how many lola and Lolo (grandmother as grandfather) she had. But I soon learned that the great uncles and great aunts could be referred the same way. I was never asked for money but I enjoyed having and sharing a red horse with my wife's distant relatives. Or buy some bread that I would leave at family home. One time I was enjoying a red horse with a favorite great uncle who was a son of a German soldier. And about the time I finished my wife showed up on the back on her father's motorcycle. She got off told me time to come home. Evidently I was outed by the Bamboo Telegram. People had never seen me drink on the street. We was drinking at a street store. Fun times.
One sad thing about moving to the Philippines.. You are always considered a visitor. Just image if in the USA we treated everyone that wasn't a US citizen as "Your just a visitor here" big difference in respect and culture for sure... However, the Philippines welcomes our Navy and Marines ..along with all the $$$ and aid we send to the country.. But were just a visitor there.. So just shut up and mind your own business..You are just a visitor here... If the US turned it's back on the Philippines... China would move right in..
You don't go back to her place, too easy to wake up broke. Might have a little trouble if your asked for ID when renting a hotel room, but you have her a different name. Get the hotel room before you go looking for a girl.
Never have a dude to your apartment. You can always tell the difference right? I heard the Philippines can be the hardest place to tell if the women are men. Is that true?
No, I meant like an actual homeboy not someone posing as a girl I meant there’s no reason for two men to be alone in your home unless you are a homosexual
@JasperinthePhilippines Oh I know that. I just heard men be hooking up with women that turn out to be men because Its alot harder to tell them apart if the men dress up like women over there. I don't wanna fall for that one. 😬 I'll be able to tell them apart won't I?
I WAS IN PHILIPPINES I MEET MANY WOMEN BUT I DID NOT TOUCH THEM, IF YOU TOUCH THEM AND MAKE IMMORALITY BECAUSE MOST OF THE TOURIST FINDING WOMEN.. BRAGGING THE TOURIST THAT THEY ARE VERY RICH THEY ARE DIFFERENT AND MILLIONAIRE PEOPLES THAT YOU WILL BE ENDANGER. THEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE PHILIPPINES YOU MUST GO BACK HOME NOT MAKING VLOGGER LIKE THAT,, I LIVE IN GERMANY BUT I AM NOT TELLING THAT GERMANNY ARE MARRYING OLD PEOPLES AND INTERVENE THEIR LIFE STYLE..
Love these straight-up tips and how you don't sugar coat reality.
Thank you so much
@Jasper in the Philippines 🇵🇭,
Good common sense answers.✔️
Thanks for sharing this information. 😁
Thumbs up Brother 👍
Yes sir 🫡
Your absolutely correct When I arrived at the Manila Airport I got a taxi he was go charge me 3 thousand pesos which is around $60 us Thank God my Gf arrived and we got another taxi just her being with me I payed 300 pesos. Learn tagalog is a must yes they speak English but some play dumb and speak tagalog to try and get over on you
Yuppp
Wow
same here. NEVER loan someone unless you are very close to that someone and has a reputation for paying back.
Nobody will ever need a loan unless they’re waiting on an inheritance or a settlement. That would be the only reason that someone would need a loan that had the ability to pay it back. You’ll never get the money back a lot of times you lose the friendship over the money, or they ask for more money, after failing to pay you back by the deadline, and never mentioned again.
Another great video with good tips for the men. Keep up your hard work Jasper

Yes
Great Video Jasper!!!! I just decided that my Filipino name is going to be Bond … Jasper Bond😂😂😂 …. Everything you just advised applies even more so here in the DR. The only person allowed in my apartment is my cat and my cleaning gal. When my cleaning gal comes to clean I make sure that I have my extra phones, wallet, credit cards, cash etc etc locked in me safe and I make sure that my safe keys are taped to my body with several layers of tape covering an ace bandage and of course I never leave while she is here. In this country if you take a cab you are asking to be robbed. You can’t even take Uber in the DR because they will rip you off. I’ve been here long enough that everyone knows where I live. I was having showing up at my door at 2:00am that I didn’t even know so I solved that problem by getting a dog that goes ape shit whenever a stranger enters the property. Everyone knows my name but when I move to the Philippines I will be “Bond … Jasper Bond” I absolutely never tell anyone how much money I have and I always wear the same clothes pretty much every day. Shorts, T-Shirt, and converse. Why converse instead of sandals? Because if someone tries to pick pocket me and then run, I can run faster wearing converse in order to catch them and beat their ass. It’s easier to fight wearing converse than it is wearing sandals. I do gift people money every now and then but only if they tell me that they are hungry. Otherwise when someone asks me for money I tell them that I only have a credit card and no cash. BTW when I do go out, I never carry more than 2,000 pesos on me which = $43 dollars.

2000 paso yes but I keep that in my front wallet while I keep a throw away wallet in the back with maybe 100 pasos in small domination
Yeah bro I’m the same way I had a cleaning lady come the other day and I put my 1700 American dollars in my pocket and all my iPhones basically all of my valuables even though she’s a great gal I’m not looking to give away one year salary
YR RIGHT-- never lend any1 $$$ -- so true!! I lost 25k to a brother-in-law- and 30k to my father-in-law
Damn
Php or usd ?
I lent my coworker $ 2,000.00. It took 5 years before she paid me back. Never again!
"Family" is just an excuse to get inside your castle.....and rob you.
@@jerryd9124 yeah I just realize that people are borrowing money so unless they’re receiving like a massive settlement or inheritance or something how would they ever be in a position to pay you back unless it’s like five dollars a week so I don’t like having to like harass people like if it’s a lot of money or like show up at their work or something like it’s always like they’re acting like you’re doing them a favor I mean they’re doing you a favor by paying you back your money late so I just I’m either doing a giveaway or I’m just gonna give you a hard know whether it’s like 20 bucks I can spare for you or if you’re like a super high-level friend that has helped me out maybe I’ll give you like 1000 bucks but yeah loans or 90% of the time not loans they are gifts whether you like it or not
I have had more than one Pinay tell me that they know I have money since I never talk

Very nice bro. 🤝 universally of the people with money. Do not speak about money people screaming about money Rolex.
Many good tips for the seasoned and rookie visitors alike. Thank you.
You bet!
Been married to a Filipina for 4 years and he is spot on… better listen👍
Yea sir
Yeah bro, this is straight up really good advice. One thing I'll add is be careful if you stay in any old, cheap hotels. I was trying to take a nap in a hotel in Manila one afternoon and all of a sudden woke up briefly and out of the corner of my eye noticed the electrical cord to the A/C unit was starting to smoke and burn. Whole room coulda burned down with me in it. Went to the hotel desk to report and the lady is like , okk salamat we will call the electrician. Close call.
Oh yeah bro I’ve stayed at some places like that before yeah you got to be careful man
@@JasperinthePhilippines yo fire up that late night stream, I got the day off today lol

Saved this one. Watching it again on my way over. Thank you sir!
Yes sir 🫡
Great advice jasper another thing I want to mention is don't add people you don't know on your personal social media accounts,
Make a different account and don't add to much personal information use a nickname and be careful of what you share on social media
Try to stay under the radar
Thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely have multiple Facebook’s one for people you don’t know from a hole in the ground and one for your dad

@PhillyWilly in the Philippines i have been using multiple Facebook accounts for the last 10 years and never had 1 account closed as long as your not doing anything you shouldn't be doing the chances of Facebook closing your account isn't going to happen you can also use a VPN.
Glad I listened to this videeo a second time. The points sunk in this time.
Nice bro
that's very true Jasper, as a local we don't give our house address unless you are a business colleague and you have a business room for a meeting, otherwise meet outside, for the Taxi, you are right, I also don't advise and even us we hardly use a taxi, unless you are in Baguio, first meet up, NEVER we NEVER bring our first meet up to our condo or house, even if that person is drunk, and find him a ride go with him if necessary to his house so that he can be safe and then leave him to his family, NEVER use thousands only use hundred and smaller coins and bills, for a palengke, never bargain from a higher amount, always ask them of how much the price, and ask for a hundred lower or 50 lower,
Yeah, there’s a meeting room where I live and get 30 minutes complementary
Most of my problems in the Philippines came from other expats so i agree with that 😂
Facts
Same
I agree with you Jasper I take taxi cabs but I do it with family members because their Filipino and so I feel safer because they know what to do in those cases
Yeah, this is strictly for foreigners. I should’ve said that all my Filipino in Filipino friends always take Cab.
Hey Jasper. I like your vlogs. I watch you daily. Keep it up buddy.
Thank you Jerry!
Yes meet your Bros at the coffee place. I have know people for years and they has never seen my place.
Exactly it’s just not necessary especially when you have a tiny place and it’s not like a party or something unless it’s like an old friend or a good buddy that you know very very very well. It’s better to keep your space private or for you and your lady.
@@JasperinthePhilippines yes my first and only apartment I had was nothing the brag about was 15 years ago cost $150 bucks us. Two rooms bedroom and kitchen CR and living room combo. My wife was happy she was living in a boarding house in the city and her mom was living in a small small nippa hut. We did build a decent house that is now in my wife's name lot and house. Since her mom died 3 months ago yesterday. So there was no reason to bring anyone to my apartment. I did take my grandfather to see my apartment he really wanted to see how I was living in and amongst the people. He was impressed course he lived very simple as a child.
Wow
@PhillyWilly in the Philippines yes I would have done the same too. My first LDR in Butuan got a little possessive when I called if off with her. The next morning when I opened the door to go eat breakfast she was waiting outside my door. Very awkward. She started claiming she was having dreams that certain people in my family were going to die if we didn't get back together. I don't know why the resort allowed her past the front desk. I left the island and went to cebu and my problems and drama disappeared.
@PhillyWilly in the Philippines one thing I caught right at first. When they give you their password to their email so that you can see they are not chatting with someone else. Well I knew that don't prove nothing but I know they was doing that so that to show your loyalty you would share your password. I knew that. So after I left her island I also changed my email I was using over there. She got my email with in a few days. Changed it again. Two days she got it again. I contacted a guy I met who's girlfriend was friend's of this LTR. I asked have you shared you password on your email with your gf? He said yes how did you know that. Then I Blocked him.
Thanks, I’ll be going to El Salvador. Need that info
Yes sir. Works universally 🤝
I have taken a lot of taxi in manila. I open the door and say meter only? 90 % of the time they say ok. Don't get in the taxi until they say ok.
I just avoid it all together

Great advice!
Ok sir
Great tips Jasper, you can't be to safe.

like you said 😩meet them in the lobby or even better the coffee ☕ shop
There is never a reason for a grown man to be in my studio apartment with me ever under any circumstance. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JasperinthePhilippines exactly unless their , there to repair your air con
True. Or water heater.
Thanks Jasper. I don’t know what I would do without your advice.
Happy to help!
LOL
I know it’s your first day in the Philippines so I’m happy to help sir 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seriously, your advice is good for the newbies. This is not the U.S. for sure. The income gap is is astronomical.
Yeah I mean some people wouldn’t think of the things that I said most people are racing the girls to their beautiful apartment and a taxi cab like Los Angeles or something. Etc etc.
But what if she has a sick water buffalo that needs phone load, is that ok to pay her for?
Ofcourse!!!!
Lol
thanks
Welcome
Great advice 🍻
Thanks
NEVER GET WIFE OR KIDS 💯

Never trust anybody trust yourself 😊
Yes maam.
To trust is good, not to trust is better.😅
@@omaradda8522 it's better trust yourself than others because if money involved it will cause of trouble based my experienced 😉
Very true
Also add, never tell anyone your departure date/ schedule.
Facts.
BE LIKE A SPY💯
Yes
Brutally Honest Jasper. But, but, but mine is different LOL
Ok ok.
Yours IS different 🤣
Actually you can take a taxi BUT at agreed contract price. For example, offer the driver 300 pesos from BGC to Rizal Park, if he agrees, then, go for it. That’s it.
Yeah I wouldn’t ever do that because they could say you heard them wrong and say it’s 1300 and then it’s just not worth it it’s just not necessary it’s not tracked I wouldn’t do it unless I absolutely had to and I’m sure it would be fine, but my advice to new guys coming in with a bunch of cash and stuff and you know that shitty cab drivers try to get me to ride with them at Manila. AirPort Maybe they want to rob me. They were definitely trying to overcharge me. It’s just not necessary unless you’re desperate and like your phones dead or something
LOL
Definitely Grab is cheaper and a sure thing
Exactly. It’s set in stone they can’t say you heard them wrong or the meter dies they set you up to get robbed or something if you’re fresh in town
It’s all track if the car even stopped at a stoplight for too long they ask if you’re OK just like in the United States only take Uber I only take Grab if it’s an option like in Boracay there is no grabs. I’ll take trikes and I just make sure I’m crystal clear about what I’m gonna pay if I charter the tryke
#1 Never Marry or Date a girl that is poor or YOU will be supporting Her and Her Entire Family Indefinitely. Instead, Date/Marry a girl that is an "Asset" (is educated, has a well paid job, etc.,)
#2 Never build a House and put in under a Filipino's name or you can kiss Your House Goodbye!
#3 Never be "Too Kind" with people or they will see this as Your Weakness and take advantage of You.
#4 Never Believe all the LIES about how" Filipinas are God's Gift to Men". Instead come to realize that Filipinas have flaws just like other women from around the world.
#5 Never, EVER "Let Your Guard Down" around Filipinos and other Foreigners because they can easily screw You over when you least expect it. Instead, Stay Sharp and Alert and "Trust No One."

✪ Jasper road to 20k still counting - salute bro, blessed always 😎
So close!
Jasper way to keep it real !! I been going by those rules for years. . Keep the knowledge flowing . Their are a lot of knuckleheads coming to the Ph that need all the help they can get !!
Thank you so much yeah, common sense doesn’t seem to be all that come in these days so I figured this video might help some people. 👍🏻
Thanks bro
No problemo boss
Jasper..What you've got in here are Truest True not only for those going to the Philippines..but definitely UNIVERSAL for any country of destination. This is a First Time Travel Handbook/ Bible for EVERYONE!!
Your hands-on, very detailed
Street live-as-viewed Vlogs serves as a No-holds-barred Travel Template for 1st Time Travellers!!❤❤❤❤
Yeah I realized at the end of this was universal advice when I was giving my final monologue but either way I’m in the Philippines and it certainly applicable to a foreign land on a tourist visa
You know the 1st time my husband & I went to TJ, Mex I felt like I went to Hell.
All I hear was Loud music 🎶 from everywhere, the ground was actually Shaking from all the Ppl ponding on the dance floor & dancing, the worst is, as (young as I was back then) I can't see S#it, bc of all the smoke on the cooking on the street.
W/c is not a bad thing. But it was Wild! A woman was trying to hump on me and dancing, ( to make money 💰 💲) it was like WTF?.
I was like "What was that"? So Crazy it's everywhere on this Fk'g side of the world 🌎🌍! So any place on earth, be Very AWARE of where You're at! Ok dokie!!!!!
Wow. Viva Mexico
1. My favorite response when women or anyone asks me personal questions, "That's personal information I cannot reveal at this time" 🤣 Her place is always the best option. 2. If she lives with family then Hotel. 3. Money, unless you are giving it to them as a gift do not lend. Even family are sometimes the worse they will assume they money you let them borrow is theirs and will not fully pay you back. 4. As far as bringing a Filipina back to the house. If you have known her a few weeks, met her family, then yes I would have her over. Don't let her move in! They will try. Only after a 1 year relationship then maybe. I would also have an indoor camera just in case I get accused falsely of any wrong doings . Jasper my boy, I appreciate the points of reality you make especially for these young men that get blinded by Pu**y. Always keep your options open. That beautiful woman you just met is nothing special. She Sh*ts just like you do. Don't be blinded by lust. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to hearing you on the next live.
Yeah bro exactly like I get it that we’re all gonna end up having these girls over but we don’t need to do it within 15 minutes of meeting them and then every girl that I’ve had come over basically doesn’t wanna leave. I basically have to say all right now sweetie it’s time to go. Gotta get some rest are all the meat like yeah like girls don’t ever wanna leave when they come over to any of my places whether it’s my little Boracay place or this place & ya basically the stuff seems like common sense but when you’re an excited guy that just went from a four to a nine yeah no, you could find yourself in a world of hurt. Just you know take it easy and enjoy the attention. But yeah, this is perfect advice for newbies. Obviously most of us know better but yeah. For sure bro I’ll see you in the next live.
People on the street always ask me a where do you live and I go oh I’m coming to your house for dinner. Let me know your exact address and then they realize how stupid it is from Boracay to manila.
@@JasperinthePhilippinesMy former partner's friends would pop by for what I assumed was for supper and evening chat. One week later I was wondering why they were still there! We lived in Metro Manila and getting around there is challenging at best and so I didn't mind them staying over the first night and then catching their taxi/bus/train home the next morning.
Jasper spittin FACTS !!!
Yes sir
You don't have too .tell them you don't need woman's or Lady's...just be friendly with them and smile...
Ok
I NEED TAXI. WALKING HARD WORK 💯😂🤣😂
Grab
Never let anyone know how much money u have..its pretty much self explanatory why..b4 you go to any country dont ride a taxi...go get an uber or grab..what jasper is saying or telling you 1st timers is very helpful and very informative..
🎯🤝
One thing I notice is most room keys have your room number on them. Good to get a separate unlabled key chain.
True
It still bothers me that men do this stuff when going abroad. Being friends with anyone will always be what I do first in anything. Never give in to anyone’s demands. If a pina is actually traditonal she should never ask for money unless your living together and married. People who always expect too much don’t deserve us men and never will 🙏
True Bro
Lol
Right on point 👍
🫡
I tell everyone I am broke. Loan here means gift. Also consider a players pad. Low key simple.
Smart
It sounds very paranoid but its good to make friends or hire a guide .
Use a ATM or bank transfer or remitly or WU your money to you.
Hotel shuttles and guards at hotels have transportation.

I never thought of number 2. But that’s a very good idea.

@@JasperinthePhilippines So I’m hanging with a Colombiana and a Peruviana. You have me convinced that the Philippines is where it’s at bro. I like them and it’s close to the USA. But I love the beach and little spinners. Haha

How do you get around then if u don’t take a cab?

Yes don't give them your name. If you remember, I thanked you earlier for the "don't get handcuffed at the airport" advice. I'm not sure how, because I'm pretty aware of my PII, but one of the girls I was talking too found me in my hotel!!! I got a call from the office stating "someone was looking for me". Actually freaked me out a little. My whatsapp is on a textnow #, I never gave out my last name, etc. WTF...
Damn!!!

I have broken several of your rules and thus far have been ok...taxis in Manila are ok if you use their language a little, as they may think you are not some noob. I have had a crazy to my apartment in BGC, but she was easily dealt with, with a not too long conversation in a cafe in my building. But others of your rules are world wide...not just Philippines.
Ok
I have an alternative thought about lending money. I agree to what you said, but if you are in a relationship with a Philippina and her brother, uncle or something is a pain in the a** and you can nver get rid of him: give him a reasonably big loan (for the Philippines) but make it very clear that you expect to get the money payed back the next time he sees you. You will never get the money back, but you will probably not have to see that guy for the next five years.
For me it was very well spent money! :)
Very true I’ve done that many times and then when they come back and try to double down, you say nope, you already violated. Your word is a man.
As
This is same things we would always tell the new people upon arriving and getting acclimated. On the never loan money, want to say ESPECIALLY family of your significant other. If you feel guilty or they have legit reason to ask (fire, flood, typhoon) then give it as a gift, like you said what you feel you can afford, and NEVER EVER expect it back. And if you do, for heaven's sake don't ask them for it, you just begging for trouble.
Facts
My exe's brother died at the age of 29 after a one week illness. To this day I feel some guilt that maybe he didn't want to ask my ex for some money from me for treatment, and that choice ended up being a fatal one.
It didn't help that my ex sent me a photo of his brother on the hospital mortuary slab. I ended up sending a very large donation for the funeral expenses. I sometimes think his brother died because my ex knew and I knew that a "sick relative" request for money for medicine or a hospital stay was a well-known con leveled against ex-pats.
A relationship with a Filipino means you'll have to make some serious moral decisions, sooner or later, regarding how you spend your money. Just saying "no" all the time doesn't cut it for me. If I marry a fellow native of my own country I would certainly be willing to help her family if one of them was dying from cancer and couldn't afford to buy their pain medication.
Saying "No" (or "yes") can quickly become a moral tug-of-war between your wallet, your relationship and your conscience. If an expat is just out to get laid then he has no worries. Many expats however, come to The Philippines for a life partner. They better think about how they'll deal with the minefields that await them! This also pertains to the online expats.
Philippines is a beautiful country. Number1 tourist destination around the globe. it's more fun in the Philippines but it is not a place for tourists men to come here to look for a prostitution. Prostitution in the Philippines is illegal and prohibited in law.Filipinas are beautiful, decent, living in a simple lives, educated people and not easily get by any men tourists.Filipinas or Filipino women are well respected by male Filipinos especially by their husbands they are lovely women that should not be used as spare tires.We Love the Philippines.🇵🇭👩👏👏
Yea best
Where ever u go any country there's people not good.. Dont say only here in the Philippines..
I didn’t
Watch it again.
Gee, sounds just like pretty much anywhere in the world.
Yeah, I mean I basically said at the end if you watch to the end that this could really be applied anywhere, but I’m certainly on a tourist visa, and I what will be a strange land to you at first lol
in the old days of the porn industry they would call the girls who got the guys ready for the camera Fluff Girls, I propose that we all start calling the women who set up scams Fluff Girls, the Expat brothers need a code word for communication
Ha ha. Nice!
The same rules in the USA
Universal, but even more so on a tourist visa, in a strange and foreign land
The taxi is useful to the others are common sense
Common sense ain’t all that common 😂

Why not give your name?? Curious, some girls have asked for fb/ig
Give your name, don’t worry about it
Your advised is only in Philippines???
Sometimes your getting intittled
Untitled ???
Yes I using a fake name would make since. I have heard of someone who was detained at the airport because he was hitting on younger ladies and one of these ladies mother reported him. Yes never take someone to your place. And yes consider it a gift.
Facts
@PhillyWilly in the Philippines
Gotta be careful in the situation like maybe skip it if she looks young or make your literal first question how old are you like and I’m sure everything at Starbucks on camera but yeah if someone even looks borderline and it’s really hard to tell with Filipinas I would just make that literally my first question how old are you?
Yep, true, they'll always think you have money even if you don't. I only give if I want to, and it's never a 'loan'😂😂 I have said "Tell you what, I'll buy a kiss"😂 they usually laugh.....
Lol
Terrific advice
Thank you
I am going to make one more comment then I am going to get out of here. Feel like I am hogging up the comments. The word borrow or lend 99 percent of the time in the Philippines is a way for Filipinos to save face. They don't want to say. Can you give me. Which would be a more honest a statement. But that is not the way it works there in the Philippines. So when someone says lend me think give me.
I think that’s how it works in the United States. I did pretty good in the United States and people are always coming to me to borrow money but they would literally say let me borrow $200 for 48 hours. They wouldn’t pay me back and then a month later that hit me up for more money and I’d be like what the f. But yeah, I’m sure even more so in the Philippines, since it’s less fortunate than the good old United States, but yeah, at the end of the day there’s no such thing as alone unless somebody’s receiving an inheritance or a settlement that’s for sure there would never be the ability to pay back a loan if you’re that type of person that’s down that bad
I like the comments bro feel free 👍
I have worked for loan companies in the USA many years. I was aways taking people to court for non payment not one of those judgements were paid. When you are dealing with people who don't have anything you can't get anything. I also own a martial arts academy today. People get behind, people stop training. I don't take people to court unless I have to get them out of a rental unit. (Parents own rental properties) Then I have no choice. Many times I say to myself. If they can live with it I can live without it. I release the negativity and then something positive happens.
This is so true! If anyone from my relatives would borrow money from me, I’d only give what i can risk..if they will not pay me back (which happens a 100%) i just think that it is a help, charity 😅..for friends, i could never think of their debts as donation. If they say “borrow”, they should pay it. But how to collect 4k usd? It has been 5yrs since they promised to pay me 😂..they would think i forgot about it.
@@doobieatenara7649 when I first met my wife's family I was surprised at how many lola and Lolo (grandmother as grandfather) she had. But I soon learned that the great uncles and great aunts could be referred the same way. I was never asked for money but I enjoyed having and sharing a red horse with my wife's distant relatives. Or buy some bread that I would leave at family home. One time I was enjoying a red horse with a favorite great uncle who was a son of a German soldier. And about the time I finished my wife showed up on the back on her father's motorcycle. She got off told me time to come home. Evidently I was outed by the Bamboo Telegram. People had never seen me drink on the street. We was drinking at a street store. Fun times.
😂😂😂😂😂TRUE,,,My beloved philippines had a lot of opportunist JUST BE CAREFUL,,use ur common sense ❤❤❤❤❤

One sad thing about moving to the Philippines.. You are always considered a visitor. Just image if in the USA we treated everyone that wasn't a US citizen as "Your just a visitor here" big difference in respect and culture for sure... However, the Philippines welcomes our Navy and Marines ..along with all the $$$ and aid we send to the country.. But were just a visitor there.. So just shut up and mind your own business..You are just a visitor here... If the US turned it's back on the Philippines... China would move right in..
That is so true. You will always be an outsider as much as you can make a beautiful life for pennies. You will never be a Filipino.
This true in all countries and not peculiar to ph only..
True
Just don't travel to the Philippines! 😂
Lol
You don't go back to her place, too easy to wake up broke. Might have a little trouble if your asked for ID when renting a hotel room, but you have her a different name. Get the hotel room before you go looking for a girl.
Ok
Never have a dude to your apartment. You can always tell the difference right? I heard the Philippines can be the hardest place to tell if the women are men. Is that true?
No, I meant like an actual homeboy not someone posing as a girl I meant there’s no reason for two men to be alone in your home unless you are a homosexual
@JasperinthePhilippines Oh I know that. I just heard men be hooking up with women that turn out to be men because Its alot harder to tell them apart if the men dress up like women over there. I don't wanna fall for that one. 😬 I'll be able to tell them apart won't I?
If you can't loose it don't gift it.
@GAMMASP8 Gift it? What?
Money, one of the points that I made about loans
Do you see a problem using real first name only
If your name is Chris or Jon should be fine
I WAS IN PHILIPPINES I MEET MANY WOMEN BUT I DID NOT TOUCH THEM, IF YOU
TOUCH THEM AND MAKE IMMORALITY BECAUSE MOST OF THE TOURIST FINDING WOMEN..
BRAGGING THE TOURIST THAT THEY ARE VERY RICH THEY ARE DIFFERENT AND MILLIONAIRE PEOPLES THAT YOU WILL BE ENDANGER. THEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE PHILIPPINES YOU MUST GO BACK HOME NOT MAKING VLOGGER LIKE THAT,, I LIVE IN
GERMANY BUT I AM NOT TELLING THAT GERMANNY ARE MARRYING OLD PEOPLES
AND INTERVENE THEIR LIFE STYLE..
CLOSE YOUR MOUTH BUMMMMM
Be guarded, don't tell anyone anything about yourself, trust no one. But have fun! 🤣🤣🤣
