Ur an idiot if you move to the philippines. For every 1 thing you say positive I can give u 10 negative facts. All you have is an opinion I can give you facts
I can tell you from my own experience I live the same lifestyle here in the Philippines on Samal Island that I do in Clearwater Florida. The difference is the cost of food is higher in the United States. But my electricity bill is actually higher here on Samal Island in Garden City. We live an upper middle class lifestyle here and there having both homes paid for we never have to pay rent. I have to say we travel as much here as I do in the states as well the difference is driving our car in the states vs our scooters here on the island. I do miss a good steak when living in the Philippines but other then that I can get everything else i like to eat at a much cheaper price. We spend $2,100.00 dollars to live in the Philippines every Month and no more then $2,300.00 a month in the states and we are a family of four. Good video Randy.
I agree with you, for the last 2 years I've lived in the Philippines and now I'm ready to go back and spend 6 months in the states visiting family and friends working a few months as a Nurse to keep my skill and license up dated. After my trip back my wife and our two younger children are taking a month long trip to Japan to visit family and friends and then the following summer break we are going to live over 2 months in Germany, France and Spain.
Homesick until you return and then you may quickly change your mind. I don't know where the best place to be is to go through what's coming. You do realize they are building a 40 sq mile city in TX for immigrants. The nicest homes in the city are run by the cartel. There is an entire infrastructure running from South American to the US. If you make it to SA you can be in the US within 2 weeks. No it's not bad everywhere but the banking, stock market, debt collapse is just beginning to come out from quiet of the eye of the hurricane.
Been in the PI for a couple of years. I’ll be visiting the US next April. It will be interesting to see what has changed. By the way, I hear the Filipino whippoorwill every morning. Love it.
I came back from 7 months in the Philippines in March. From Minnesota moved to the free state of Florida when I retired. I can't wait to get back to the Philippines I missed it one week after getting back to the USA. I plan on being there more than the USA only coming back for business or medical needs. Sad state of affairs in the USA the Democrats want to put their opponents in jail and have caused so much inflation some find it hard to make ends meet you have to be smart with your finances. Life is much better in the Philippines if you are retired.
I'm a disabled veteran and I'm living the American dream in Costa Rica I wouldn't ever have been able to afford this dream if it wasn't for the opportunities that the U S had to offer me. I don't miss living in the US Pura Vida
Sorry to see you go although you’ll be going back n forth. I was there last year and truly longed for an American hamburger and a steak! I live in California, a liberal bastion of high taxes, crime and homelessness. I too will be going back n forth. A few months here and a few more months in the Province where I’ll retire. God speed, brother. The Savior is with us always. 🫰🏼
It's been a pleasure getting to know you and your family, I won't say good by just so long. Like you Randy me and my family plan to make the united states and the Philippines our home. For mostly the same reason. We have our home here on Samal Island in Garden City living next to Dad and Mom, and our home in the United states. Che and i talk about an invison living 6 months of fall and winter in the Philippines. Then 6 months of spring and summer in the states. Good luck on your trip back home.😊take care God bless you and your family.
hi buddy just stumbled across your channel, me and my girlfriend met your boys in pool when we stayed at oasis about 4 months ago.. your boy had a busted ankle . take care buddy
You have a point about the young generation but that generation was raised by mostly baby boomers (My Generation) Where as We the Boomers were raised by the greatest generation
Hey Randy, I'm sad to see you go. I was hoping you would be showing more videos on One Oasis so I can reminisce. But, like many of us expats, we have big goals and dreams, but for one reason or another, it has to be put off for another time, myself included. I plan on returning there one day, but maybe much later in the future. For now, my goal is visit Baguio and Tagaytay in early 2024 (I have my tickets already), where it's more conducive for bigger guys like me. I have difficulties with heat and humidity, but not cold and humidity. But, when you do return to the Philippines, please consider restarting your channel again. Or heck, why don't you just continue your channel in the good 'ol US of A. Take care and god speed.

I've traveled back and forth to the Philippines for 20 years and know I will miss it when I'm back in the states.
This is why people dislike or hate America, your constantly saying "America is the greatest country in the world" So arrogant zero modesty. I happen to think my country is the best in the world the UK, but I think that to myself I don't go around telling everyone that which almost all Americans do....
It's better than the Philippines and the UK, overall. Of course I would prefer being in a nice village in England or a beach house in the Philippines over Baltimore for example, but overall.
Well done sir. This great country has been attacked by political disfunction and so many eat it up. Tough to accept and so many of us will fight to make the changes necessary to get back to reaching the stars. How can anyone with a brain think that Democrats are doing what is best for this country. To visit the Philippines once a year seems to be a great choice for you. Having children, grandchildren, and good friends that talk your talk is golden. There are situations to meet American women and those more in your age group but stepping out of your comfort zone will need to happen. Welcome home.
How can anyone with a brain think that Republicans are good for this country. You're all in a cult that aims to destroy the United States. I think you'd fit right in up in North Korea.
I was a Republican, up until 2016 when the GOP decided to back an obvious crimimal with no moral convictions and total loyalty to the dollar and only the dollar. How can anyone with a brain think that Republicans are doing what's best?! Today's Republicans are aiding and abetting the destruction of the constitution. WHAT I DONT GET IS WHY ARE REPUBLICANS LEAVING THE US WHEN THEY HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN.
"How can anyone with a brain think that Democrats are doing what is best for this country." Thanks for the hate. That's all you folks can do - hate. When kids have a basketball game, they divide into opponent teams, NOT ENEMIES. They need and respect each other - otherwise, no game. Over the past forty years, but especially the last eight, thinking like yours has RUINED the US. You honestly believe in "the enemy within." So sad.
The one thing that has made America the cesspit that it is today is the same thing that has happened in all countries, it is the people. If you are a person that knows nothing about politics but you vote for the person with the best lies it is up to you to keep reminding them that you put them where they are and you can remove them if you so wish. However the world now has made people insular and the common attitude is IDGAF so with that in mind it is not a democrat or any other crat it is the will of the people.
The Philippines is not a free country. They are not "hostile" toward foreigners, but they certainly are unfavorable toward foreigners. Conversely tens of thousands of filipinas enjoy all the rights of citizenship here in the US. In the eye of Philippine law you will always be considered a "foreigner". The people are great.....but the law sees foreigners in a different way. Good luck.
Imagine if they charged a foreign person more in the US just because they are foreign. All hell would break loss. But they have no problem doing so in many other countries including Mexico. But then again, a ton of these ugly, obese, old dudes go to the PL to date teens, so I guess that's fare. They are nothing but an atm machine to them anyways.
@M-zg2sg I respectfully disagree, but at the same time agree in part. It's not that America doesn't like it's own citizens, it's, imo, that certain elements of our government hate anyone who would oppose their DEI policies. Inclusion for all but those who disagree. Which, on its face, negates the very claim of inclusivity. But here in America you can come, as have tens of thousands of Filipinas, and become a citizen enjoying all lawful rights of naturalized citizens. The biggest of which is they can lawfully purchase property. That, to me, is true freedom. What I do agree with, in part, is that America is losing its freedoms and they will dissappear if we allow the Marxists among us to have their way.
The Philippines isn't as cheap as everyone makes out, Trying to live a life similar to living in the west will cost more in the Philippines. I have always seen the Philippines as a great country for a vacation but not to live full time.
You're 100 percent right. I've lived in the philippines for 1 year and it cost me twice as much to live in the Philippines. I'm going back next year before I go broke
@jmc2494 I can't afford to live in a gated Community with 24 hour guard service in the USA. I can spend 2k usd and live a high lifestyle here. That would be poverty income in the USA
The only way a exspat can run out of money on a fixed income is if you can not manage your finances. If you can't then living in the Philippines is not the place to live. We live on a monthly budget that allows us to put money into our emergency savings account and our Vacation account. We have to allow for the foreseen and unforseen. Birthdays, holidays, school cloths and supplies and things like getting cellphones fixed or having to buy new. Dentist appointments to yearly doctors appointments for check ups.

The Philippines is not for everybody. I keep telling people this. It takes a special person to live in the Philippines.
