    I grew up in NCR area but frequently going to the beaches of Bagac, Bataan during my school break. That was way in the 70's and 80's! The people of Bataan are very low-key, humble and hard-working. Yes, I agree it is a great place for foreigners to retire or tourists to visit.
    I myself lived in the US for 18 years and now moved and retired back home with my American husband. Though we chose Davao City to retire, Bataan always holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for talking about Bataan in this video.

    My friend used to live and work in Bagac & Morong - the National Power Corp or the Phil Nuclear Power Plant - He said during that time 1985 and today which he only sees via tube vloggers - there is a whale of a difference - one thing he is sure said to me - people of Bagac & Morong where he lived for 6 years are the most welcoming & hospitable of all Filipinos in his opinion - offer their food even that is not enough for them - amazing amazing people he said - good that you show good vids about the province -

      This power plant is the one reason I would never live there.
      They shut it down soon after because of the risks of a nuclear power plant in such a natural disaster prone area.
      They now think about reactivating it

      ​@@i-am-your-conscienceI watched a video on that power plant and yes they were thinking about reactivating, but because of its old age and technology, it is not financially feasible and very risky without a ground-up rebuild of it. And that would be decades from now in which you and I may not be on the planet anymore, but future families will have to way the risk factors in living need a reactor.

    Hey Man though i agree that the Philippines is a good place because it is a tropical country and everybody can go anywhere anyt8me of the day yet it is not really a paradise for eveybody. It is only good for those expats and retirees with money and a monthly of $2000 and above. There are downsides if a place has much tourists like the case of inflations that only expats and tourists can afford while the locals are not.

    I live in Olongapo, I drive my motorbike once in awhile (For fun) through Morong, Bagac, etc. that whole coastal drive is amazing! Look up the hill opposite of the ocean side and you will see million dollar homes...absolutely huge homes for the wealthy. Makes you wonder if many of the elite use Bataan and all along the higher hillsides as their own private hide-away. And if they do not plan on opening that Nuclear power plant, at least open it for tourism..that would be something to see.

    I love Bataan I visited the province a couple of times with my stepmother.
    The Western Coast of the province is beautiful. Gentle sloping hills which gives a beautiful of the Philippines Sea.
    The only thing I didn't like is how expensive lands were.
    Bataan in the 70s and early 80s was an expat province. President Marcos opened an Economic Zone in Mariveles. They always had an international shiping port there. One of the biggest factory in Mariveles was Ford, Fjord Norwegian Yatch builder, Slazenger (my dad opened it when he was sent by Slazenger UK in the 70s.

    I love driving along the west coast of Bataan overlooking the ocean and the beautiful sunset. Soon! it will be just a few minutes away from the province of Cavite and maybe an hour drive from Metro-Manila once the proposed bridge is completed. We have a property there in Anvaya Cove located in Morong, Bataan. It's a secluded high-end residential beach resort and golf estate developed by the Ayala Group. I know the prices of real estate there is going crazy. I bought the property during the initial stage of development way back in 2016 and now the price is almost unaffordable for some people.

      Tbf not even a percent of a percent of his audience will follow his advice. This is actually a good conversion rate. The real danger is if Cebu City produces a number one AI app. Then it will get gentrified the way San Francisco did in the 1990s or Guangzhou in the 2010s. Locals in both those places hate outsiders & can't afford it anymore.
      If that percent of a percent does roll up, it's a small enough number that it won't gentrify but at the same time it will improve the economy & encourage investment in infrastructure.

I have a piece of advice, stand your ground no matter how good you think the p***y is. Don't be a p***y whip (like those others just following along with their females). If you're the money maker which is 98% of the time (I meant will be carrying the finances in the relationship). F**k, you went there to enjoy life /retire didn't you? Sorry, i can go on and on.

      Of course you can as long as you install a filtration system like I did. It has five filters and after running a test for bacteria and contaminants reading it was safe enough to drink right off the tap. It’s also a water softener too.

    Nobody ever talks about the tensions between the Philippines and China (egged on by the USA) and the possibility that the Phils will end up in a war with China--another US proxy much like Ukrain. I for one would hold off considering the Phils as a place to retire, especially if I was an American.

    You forgot to mention one thing that makes this region undesirable if it will enforced: The Activation of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant.
    When it was build they prevented it from going online, for obvious reasons. The Philippines are in the so called ring of fire, earthquakes are not exactly rare, and Typhoons go through regularly.
    We all have seen what happens with nuclear power plants in this area in Japan with Fukushima. And Bataan one is much older. Whole Bataan area could get unlivable. No thank you

    This is the vibe am looking forward in your blogs now that you’ve settled in the Philippines. Stay away from politics and critique talking. That’s not your business. That’s the very reason why you stayed away from the US right.? Instead keep traveling, dip into adventures, family time and locals time. Etc etc… This is what we your subscribers wanted to see. We dont need your opinions, your criticisms. We want to see you more. Flaunt and capitalize more on that Hollywood celebrity-like gift and stature of yours, your pretty wife, your son, your family, her clan, foods, go-to places in the Philippines, your chit-chat with clans and locals. See you being immersed with her family, not instead seeing you like distant and discreet from her family and people. Learn from Filipino millionaire UA-camrs, who just did their business and not attacking one another, thus made it very big in UA-cam. Do not sound like another expat blogs that feels like nuisances already in UA-cam and the Filipino people instead of entertainment and enlightenment. Believe me, you go this direction and shift of journey, you will make it big in UA-cam. That handsome face and physique is your prime perfect weapon and armament. Trust me. You will say thank you to me one day.
