    I selected the Philippines. Cause they speak English and everything is affordable - you can go to a lot of different areas see different scenery and they treat you well.

    I am also a black man, from America. I left the US in 1983 and have never gone back. Living in the Philippines is as close to heaven as possible while still alive. Wonderful people, wonderful weather, I married my Filipina girlfriend in 1981 in the US. After I retired from the USAF, we returned to her country in 1983. I'm soon to be 80 years old and love where I am and have no interest in going anywhere else.
    I once thought of getting Filipino citizenship. I didn't do it because I would have lost my military retirement pay.

      @axizcorp I was just answering why the Filipinos love basketball. Being first doesn't automatically make you the best. You must also think certain factors thar make good players; height, body build, muscle mass, strength, world-class training and training facilities at an early age, good trainers, etc.. Usually, they learn the basics on their own and develop bad habits along the way.

    like this one white American, middle-aged vlogger walking at BGC and came along a grp of women, Filipinas waving at the camera to say HI, and all his comments saying "wow you are a star there!" like wtf! I think they are just not used to people smiling or waving to the camera in their home countries😅

      @aliciasanchez5441 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Foreigners don't need to be a Filipino citizen. They can apply for residency status then they can own property. No such thing as paradise in real sense. Most people wants to live a comfortable life in a peaceful invironment where most commodities are available. There are plenty of choices in the Philippines
      Phil. Is not only for rich people as you tried to impart. Not all foreigners are rich where they came from. They want to live in the Phil. Because they find comfort, they are happy to be here. Whatever they experienced in their own country that's their business. Most Filipinos are just happy and welcoming that they chose the Phil. As their 2nd home.
