The people who are worried are long stays who've been making visa runs. You're not.
Ah that makes sense

Thanks so much Jessse!
Great information and interview…
Much appreciated Marc!
I was in Bayawan in September and I would like to know if there’s any good restaurants there? There’s no fast food restaurants yet. I stayed at what I guess was their best hotel and the breakfast was good but other than that I didn’t see any restaurants. Pure Gold store was very nice tho. I’m moving to the Philippines in February as I will retire there in the Dumaguete area but will return to Bayawan as my girlfriend’s family is in Basay up the mountain.
Excellent and informative that a senior have to be aware while your in the Philippines 😊😊😊😊😊❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it Ed :)
Nice to finally see a fishing video in the Philippines thats at least 75% English...lol. They are usually 100% Tagalog. Thanks, Alex...Jim
Thanks so much Jim :)
This was a great video. Thanks. Love all the wise advice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'll be in Dumaguete for awhile myself. Signed on a place today.
Wonderful man, you're a welcome addition to the city!
Will D here, Lunch on me before you go, if you want.
I was just in Malaybalay for a week. So much cooler there. Might want to visit if the heat is getting to you.
How did you like Malaybalay? :)
@@EasternDreamer615 I liked it a lot. I flew down from Quezon City and spent 5 nights there. In fact my lease is over here the end of November and thinking about moving there and trying it out. The populations is around 200k so its not so crowded. Very comfortable climate. I was only there 5 days so I didnt have much luck seeing what is available for housing. I looked at a couple places but not what I would be happy in.
That sounds really nice Doug. Did you get a chance to look around Bukidnon province?
Would rather work in media than sales lol, duh!
Do you work in sales? Haha
@EasternDreamer615 Sorry, i wasn't clear, i was confirming your statement. Meaning, of course, media would be better than sales.
Ah yes, that's a great point chiqsilog
A good video and I agree with you. I came to Dumaguete 1997 in november,and since then have lived there for many years😊
Thank you so much ChrisTian :)
Don't get bitter, get better.
Agreed
To much nothing talking
Thanks for watching!
why would Americans be jealous of you living in a 3rd world country??
When I look at America in 2024, it looks an awful lot like a 'third world country' to me. ua-cam.com/video/u2lA_DsvuvY/v-deo.html
I'm not saying it's impossible to price out foreigners. But if that would happen it would be because of foreigners (spoiled Americans)as usual live waaay beyond their means. Filipinos would never be able to afford it if foreigners couldn't.
If you need help ask and tells it frankly don't be shy then they can help you for free if you don't have any money to pay atleast you'd tell it frankly.
There are lots of organizations willing to help in the west. Salvation army, lots of food banks, lots of soup kitchens,the government etc. It is not right for a westerners to go beg in the Philippines. Plus majority of those people, not particularly this one, can still work at least part time
Hey, Americans, for those of us not educated in USA, _N grade_ isn't familiar. It just doesn't mean anything internationally.
Good Interview, but you didn't ask a lot of questions most of your viewers wanted. Like his age, where he's from, his career background, does he have kids, what brought him to the Philippines etc etc. Have another interview with this guy cause he's great. Thanks
That’s a great idea Ronnie, I’ll follow up with him
@@EasternDreamer615 Sounds Good. Thanks
How old is this guy? Is he in his 70's?
He’s 79 years young
@@EasternDreamer615 wow. That’s amazing
I agree :)
Hello Dear, Eastern Dreamer , I hope you are well. I visited your UA-cam Channel. Your content is Excellent. But your Channel is not growing, Because your Content title and Description are not SEO-friendly and do not have Enough Rank tags.This is why there is no Content Coming to the top of UA-cam. As a result, your video SEO Score is very low. According to VidiQ, (your channel's video's SEO score is 27.6/ out of 100, which should be 80+). If you want, I can make it 80+ , which will help your channel grow faster. If you SEO your videos Properly then the Channel Progress will be very Fast & Subscribers and Views will Increase. If you want I can solve problems and help you rank your videos Better. If you are Interested Please Let me know. Regards, MARUF (UA-cam Video SEO Expert).
No thanks
When you go to a different country, I suggest adapting and respecting their laws and cultures and trying not to compare.
I agree Cristina
Thanks for the presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it Mike :)
@@EasternDreamer615 You're welcome.
@@EasternDreamer615 Have a great weekend.
No Philippines is too hot poor infrastructure you're just in pityful condition here
Philippines will not change for you. Do not set rules when you visit other countries. You have to adapt. To each his own. Don't always comment negatively when you watch other's vlog. You see he has been living there for more than 8 years and he seems contented unlike you you might just set foot for a week or so and you keep complaining.Go to the country where your standards are met but refrain from degrading other countries specially the Philippines. Listen to what he is saying and you will learn a lot why he stayed in the Philippines for so long. Don't inject your negativity to the viewers.Be fair
If you have $1500 - $2000 a month in the Philippines. You are financially in good shape and much cheaper if you live in the countryside. Filipinos are friendly and they take care the old and disabled people.
I agree Deborah :)
Deborah -- several US expats I know are reasonably 'comfortable' on $800 -- $1000 / mo. in Lipa City and Trace Martires.
@@KB3TLE I spend around $7-800/month on average here in Dumaguete
@@EasternDreamer615 ua-cam.com/video/oGF5h3TuSBs/v-deo.htmlsi=TKszKCvKJ_R8L6jI
Access for a disabled person in the Philippines is extremely limited. Sidewalks are near impossible to use. Even in Makati, sidewalks are not accessible. The truth is there are no disabled people in the Philippines. If there are, they are hidden in a closet at home. Just saying.
All are welcomed but dont look for a wife just hire a caregiver
Caught you on Paul w/Chad. Great video. Keep up the great work. Looking forward.
Thanks so much George
Great videos. I hope to meet you guys one day when I come out there
That would be cool!
"Family oriented" always cracks me up. Tell your gold digger that you will only give her family as much as she gives yours. Yeah. No more nookie for you.
Who hurt you?
immigrants not ex pats.
Thanks for watching!
🚨sjw alert🚨 do not engage 😂
Very good blog
Thanks so much Ken :)
there are several party clubs in dumaguete. The ones popular with expats are the places most young women avoid. Expats tend to be gropey and have overinflated sense of egos when they get drunk. They feel like a hollywood stars and start thinking that every filipina is up for grabs.
That's too bad
He is wrong about the motorcycle clubs. Some are gangss. Look at the affiliation patches onthe jackets of some. You have the Diablo's and Hells Angels. Most folks are too ignorant to know that. They moved into New Zealand and have spread all over the world and are spreading into various parts of the Philippines. Hopefully law enforcement there has a clue about these organized crime organizations that are becoming among you more and more.

Hello Kyle :)
I appreciate the way you think through various topics. Could you see yourself raising a child in the Philippines in the future? What would you consider to be the pros and cons of this decision?
I lean toward not having kids based on my individual circumstance. Pros = more money, more free time. Cons = I'm not sure about cons, maybe nobody to take care of me in old age? but I know plenty of Americans with children who aren't capable of providing such support to their aging parents.
I love you bro, you have always been sympthetic and understanding to those with mental issues. I will always be a loyal follower.
Thanks so much Ed, I hope you have a wonderful weekend :)

@@EasternDreamer615 hi I am getting released soon and hope to be in the philippines before xmas. Maybe you can help me find a room near you. We could have coffee as well. you seem like a friendly guy. I like new friends.
lol, PH is already and always was expensive. In eu 500$ covers for me everything. In ph? at least 2000$.
