- Today we will be reacting to PhillyinthePhilippines vlog were he is warning people about retiring in the philippines.
This is our very first reaction type vlog on this channel were we will be reviewing another philippines content creator about the philippines and looking at the answers they give about certain problems and then giving our own opinions on weather we think this is true or false and why.
We are very particular about what type of reaction vlogs we would be willing to do so if this is somthing you would like us to do more of then let us known.
This is a great vlog to be able to review since it covers many topics that people would want to know about that matter to regular people. Thank you to PhillyinthePhilippines for making this vlog and answering these very popular questions that people want to know.
PhillyinthePhilippines Channel
/ @phillyinthephilippines
how do you guys feel about us doing more of these types of reaction vlogs?
It’s just a click bait to attract viewers IMO
@@Ladybug8899 If you think it's just click bait, you can very well take your time on checking other vloggers. However simple this video may seem to us, they took a considerable amount of time making it. If they are just doing it for the click bait, I won't mind, it's their problem not mine. There are people who enjoy and appreciate what they are doing, and I am one of them. I just do what I enjoy doing as long as I don't hurt other people. It's better to be positive minded and avoid thinking bad or doubting other people's motives unless it is evident.
@@Ladybug8899 your life is a joke 😂
Thats OK Chris and Cody
Where are you now guys in UK. When are you gonna visit Iloilo your house
I am a first time viewer here on your channel. I was brought here by the fact that you were reacting to @PhillyinthePhilippines channel, of which I am a subscriber. I heard you say that you do not need a steady income to retire here in the Philippines. Then you went off about how you and your girlfriend don't have a steady income, but you also said that you go back to the UK to earn money and them come back. That's a way to live in the Philippines, but it is not the same as retiring here. What Philly is describing in his video are the situations (like my own) where guys come to the Philippines, marry a Filipina, and spend the rest of their lives here, without leaving. My personal story is a great example. I met my wife online, we chatted for a number of months, I visited here three times with her, and then when she and I married, I took up permanent residence here. Without having the steady income I have from my U.S. Navy retirement, I could not begin to afford to live here full time. Also, just FYI, I have been in place here in the Philippines since July 2003, without ever leaving the country. Otherwise, I think you have a good handle on the other points Philly made in his video. Thanks for reading through this long diatribe but I wanted to explain my position thoroughly.
i've been retired here almost 5 years after visiting here every year for 5 years and getting married here.... i'm scared to give an opinion. but i will say dont trust anyones opinion who is coming for 'visits' and going back to their country after their philippines vacation travels. it is a world away from living here for good.
i have to add...philly hasn't been here long either- and i dont know if he has built a house or bought land or has neighbors yet. those things alone can alter your views quite a lot. if i moved from place to place here and rented my views would be quite different than someone who LIVES in a barangy in a house he has built with his own money and has NEIGHBORS, the same people to learn to live with daily. that is VERY different than meeting people for a week or a month and moving on....its only after you experience THAT for several years can you know what your true opinion is.
one last thing, patience , this is important, if you are in a McDonald's and there are 35 people working behind the counter and 6 people in line and it takes you 45 minutes to place your order before you move to the next line to wait on your food....yes...patience ( :
oh...i just caught the part you bought a condo! hahaa, you can probably live there forever and never really get to know the philippines or the people so ...carry on, ignore all i've said before ( :
Hello Kris and Cody, it’s good that you make a reaction video like these one it can give you the idea of how other foreigners think towards things and their experiences while living in the country.
Definitely do more of these reaction videos. Also, I agree with both you and Philly. A lot of it seems to be common sense but some people lose perspective when traveling or retiring to another country.
Good to have your own view, everyone have different opinions about things so doing this reaction is good. It also helps your channel especially nowadays that you cant travel. Keep it up Kris. Missed Cody on this one xx
Love this particular vlog, Kris! 👍👍 Love your reaction and shared insights. You and Cody take care.
Really happy to hear you enjoyed this new type of vlog, i think we will continue to add these vlogs in the future when we find them so we have travel vlogs and these review/reaction vlogs. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to drop a comment we really appreciate it. Take care my friend
i like how you managed to disect every point bit by bit, agree on some while you also tactfully disagree on other issues. your reaction is honest and pretty straight forward. awesome video!
thank you anson, its all about being honest without being rude :)
Philly has been here a long time, he knows what he is talking about, there are a hell of a lot of expats leaving tthe Philippines recently, as a resident here of over 20 years I do understand why, it's not what it was 20 years ago and most foreigners who come here these days are sad old guys looking for girls half their age...
...and where can the Foreigners Rooster find the Best Corn in this planet? Don't you think they don't get Traded back in the West where young bucks are all over hahaha.
hey asia, yea he said some things we agree with of course but also some things that we dont, although we have only recently started coming to the philippines in that short time we have covered around 35 provinces and have seen quite a lot in such a small amount of time to have a decent idea on some things. We can only imagine what it was like in the philippines 20 years ago, we are both super jealous that we will never see what you did. I would like to think that some of the hidden gems we have been to maybe as a reminder to what it was like 20 years ago
@@CoshanUncharted well my wife had to go into Bacolod hospital for appendix removal 2 days in hospital over 100k so you definitely need some cash behind you ,they won't normally let you out until bill is paid ,although it is against the law to hold you but many hospitals ignore the law
one thing... different people have different cultures... if you cannot adjust to other people's culture, you better stay with your own kind with the same culture... the country will not adjust for you, you should adjust for them... i won't get rid off my rooster for you (though i don't have one) not because you're an alien and you're in my territory... but because -again, being a foreigner in one's country, you are the one who needs adjusment... showing respect to the culture and for the people....
@@ecilatnecniv when I moved into my sub division there were no roosters but now I'm surrounded by the bastard things some with mental health issues coz they crow all through the dam night
Glad you're back, "Coshan Uncharted" - your being broad minded is so appreciated & Your reaction seems really fair. Hope you are
in good state of health & continue vlogging or reaction to Vlogs. May God bless each one of us.🎆🎄
You’re on point and fair on your assessment Mr. Chris. Missing Cody. Have a nice day!
Thank you so much lem, really appreciate the feedback ❤🇵🇭 we will be adding more of these types of reaction vlogs to our channel from now onwards. Really happy to see that you enjoyed it
Great video, you are right about all you have said, I watched Brans video when it came out and agreed with it at the time. I have lived here since 2017 and love it but became ill in January this year and because treatment would cost so much in Philippines came back to UK for an operation, problem is I now can't get back!!!!!! Will return as soon as I can, wonderful place and just remember the UK is only a flight away and not that expensive either.
just found your tube .
Will be back learning for my retirement ...PROBLEM with common sense ....
Its not to common ..glad i found you brother ...keep up the good work ...
This man make sense. Foreigners stayed in our country for 2 weeks to 1 month and they think they know the ins and outs of this country.
ha ha ha awesome dude...this what i am saying long time do reaction videos as well....you were pretty good Chris well done!!! keep it up dude...
hey michael, thank you so much for the encouragement, we are super glad that the reactions to these vlogs has been good with you guys and we will look to add these to our vlogs a lot more often for sure
Thank you for expressing your very objective views. I am a truck driver here in America and I fully understand the American perspective. I also feel that if a traveler visits a country he or she should never expect everything to be like the home country. Otherwise, what is the point of traveling if one cannot see and feel the difference and that the world is not populated by one homogeneous group of human beings with one culture and only one set of beliefs.
My first time viewing your content, well done. I subscribe to PhillyinthePhilippines enjoy his house rental videos. Please do more reacting-commenting vlogs I very much enjoyed what you had to say. I'm not an Expat but have visited Philippines once or twice a year with my Filipina wife since the mid 1990's. NEW SUBSCRIBER!
Filipino burned dry leaves mostly in the afternoon or at night cause that can kill mosquitos!Mosquitos hates smokes!!👍🇵🇭☘️
This was a tip, we need !! haha
And plastic. They often burn plastic in my area
Blessed in the Philippines as if they burnin tires !! nope they not burnin tires .. just small kinda plastic bagnor some sort
@@batangfirst5993 haven't seen any tire burning yet but we, yes we, often burn naturally made egg crates to deter mosquitoes from social areas
And also to kill the insect that destroys fruits from the the fruit trees because they don't use chemical spray but now you can't burn anything BAWAL NA PO
Nice opinion sir.. Thank you😊Stay safe.. God bless🙏🇵🇭
hey marisa, thank you for watching and we hope we put some of the assumptions from philly correct 😊❤
@@CoshanUncharted welcome sir🤗 By the way merry Christmas🎄🤶🎅 since ber months was already started and spirit of Christmas was roaming around the corner of the Philippines as soon as September approach.. Hope your here guys during this season... More reaction videos sir😊
awww messy christmas to you and your family marisa, hopefully next year we can be in the philippines for some of the christmas period ❤. There will 100% be more reactions vlogs coming up more regularly now since you guys seemed to really enjoy this one
To me it just sounds like a warning to expats in general. He just happen to be in the Phils.
I appreciate for pointing out the differences and differentiation, and very realistic and reasonable analysis.
Love how you react to the video. On point. Love you Kris ❤️
❤❤❤❤ thank you so much arnel that really meant a lot reading this buddy
Great follow up. Both are great tutorials.
You are absolutely correct about savings. If you don’t have any savings you’re screwed regardless where you are in the world.
true, even in your home country!
except Sweden and Norway xD
Attitude matters wherever u wanted to be. The lifestyle you wanted to depends on you. So simply ..live within your means!
Appreciate how you see us sir, your always welcome to a family country take care and God Bless.
Thank you for being honest with your reactions.
hey lynda, your very welcome and we hope you like our responses to some of the points philly made
I like and subscribe.
Thank you for these reactions. Everywhere you go , there is something you like or not like.
welcome to the family
It's up to you guys if you want to retire in the philippines or not we are not forcing you. The philippines is a blessed county...
Hey, Philly in the Philippines is a long time vlogger here in Luzon area. I think your reaction video is good. Brian does give alot of good advice for people who want to move and retire here. Things you might not think about when moving here. I have lived and vlogged here for 7 months. Im based in La Union. I do surfing and beach related videos.. You can do a reaction video to any one of my videos! Cheers, Mark
Hey brother, accidentally stumbled onto your channel. Glad I did! Enjoyed your content. I live in the U.S. and last year traveled to Thailand to attend my son's wedding. He married a Thai. I loved it. But curious about the Philipines. However, I'm afraid to travel there because I've heard a lot about violent crimes there.
If you feel ok in thailand then you will feel ok in the philippines. I lived in thailand for 8 years and you watch the local news you would be shocked at what goes on there. I've been to the philippines for 2 months and felt safe.
@@andrewwilson5722 Thanks for your reply. Please advise, being my first trip, what city should I visit?
See you in Iloilo mate. Please visit to my hometown Carles and get a tour to Gigante Island.
Do not retire anywhere (not only in the Philippines) if you don't have these Ps in your pocket:
Patience - for traffic and other inconveniences
Pension - for your expenses
Politeness - don't think locals should be the one to adjust to you
100%%%% politeness is so so important, it really gets us both so angry when we see those really rude foreigners who treat people badly. those people give foreigners a bad name
@@CoshanUncharted and you give foreigners a good one so thank you haha
@@micah9139 thank you so much for this comment 🤗
I have two of the three and I'm living happily in the Philippines
Hahaha, I like it both of them are honest, by the way I am a filipino, I like honest reaction very much
CHRIS WHERE IS YOUR BETTER HALF? IT IS JOYFUL TO WATCH YOUR CHANNEL. THANKS.
Thank you bro for youre honest openion
Totally agree...nice reaction.
thank you for watching and letting us know you enjoyed the vlog zebra ❤
Agree of what you are discussing, respect the countrys culture,religion,and most mportant Laws,as simple as that...well kris n cody stay safe missed your Philippine vlogs.Fr.Doha,Qatar 🇶🇦🇵🇭
You guys are back!
Brian is a level headed person and only suggest his own opinions, based off his life experience. I'm a subscriber from the U.S.
hey welcome to our little family here! :)
Totally agree with your opinion about needing Bundles of Patience... and I was born and raised there! 😆
Love the Arsenal mug!
Hahahaha arsenal through and through mate 😂
Nice to see your new vlog!
True: Don't retire somewhere you've never spent much time. You will be disappointed. Wherever you came from, it will not be the same lifestyle in SE Asia. Wherever in the world you move to, respect their law. Unless you are a citizen, stay out of politics. Medical care is expensive anywhere.
Lifestyle is different depending on which part of the country you intend to live. If you live in big cities like Metro Manila, you can expect Western convenience.
If you live in a rural community, expect roosters crowing in the morning, frogs croaking after rain stops and crickets chirping at night. People are hospitable but remember that that they are sharing resources that they worked hard to earn. Minimum wage is lower and everything is expensive compared to how much they earn.
True: Make sure you have back up resources in case of emergency or natural disasters when you need to leave the country in a hurry.
True: it's always hot, there's line ups for everything, nothing you can do about it. It's an exercise in patience. Go with the flow.
PhillyinthePhilippiines was talking about his own experience. We may disagree but he is entitled to his opinion. Peace everyone
Yea what philly has said is true for him and his experiences, we do not know his philippines travel history so perhaps he has not travelled around much to know if things are different in different provinces. We are all learning about the philippines and can share our experiences which is why these types of review/reaction vlogs are so useful i think
I agree. But Philly was telling the truth. And if a foreigner is hot headed or impatient they should not retire in the Philippines
Chooks, crickets and frogs? You left out snakes, geckos, spiders and dogs, We have them all here.
All makes for an interesting life.
I think what Brian's trying to say is that it's one thing to come here for a few weeks holiday a couple of times then it's a big difference to actually living here permanently.
Medical care is expensive almost everywhere it all depends on where your from and how much money you have determines how expensive it's going to be.
Love this!
hey jordan thanks for watching buddy appreciate it, hope your doing well
@@CoshanUncharted doing good, hope you both as well.. I just got monetized finally so been working on that.. Hopefully we can all get back to Philippines soon! 🙏🏻❤🇵🇭
congratulations buddy, onwards and upwards 😊 lets hope so man, im hoping by january things will open up for us all to go back
No bashing Cody 😂
And yeah do those kinds of reaction vids.
thank you Nuck's. 🙌
You should do more reactions vlogs 👍
Good video mate!
Glad you enjoyed it
Philly in the Phillippines,had been living in the Philippines, for so long time,married a filipina and has a teenager beautiful daughter,they ran a grocery business manage by his wife in angeles city,pampanga...
Yeah..... everything belongs to the wife while it is financed by the foreign husband.... once you are dry, watch out!
Likewise, for vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia and Myanmar. Try Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan or South Korea where you can own house and business in your name.
@@dannyc7659 it's in our Constitution. It maybe is an ultranationalistic policy so yeah you can get screwed. Except if you actually "marry" your girl. Then everything becomes conjugal.
@@dannyc7659 I'm thinking of taking my Pinoy to Singapore to live, I'm hoping my money blows up as I planned. This way we can live at the same standard as I do in the UK without worrying about the Pinoy dictatorship. I am very much into politics because it can cost you your life if you blindly follow....
he was saying you need savings if you want to live in pi. A week in a decent hospital cost me $5000 australian dollars and no money no treatment. Dont get involved in politics people get killed. Its a great place to live but keep a low profile and accept the people for the way they are.
well said mate. you have an open minded person.
Sir, you are misunderstanding ...Mr. Philly isn't addressing the "Philippines" he is addressing "Americans".
What he is doing is pointing out the attitude Expat Americans show up with simply because ...well Americans are
not always forward thinking enough to save money for emergencies and some Americans think if is in America,
it must be world wide. And still some Americans don't believe the rules apply to them. Yes, these behaviors are
everywhere in the world but Mr. Philly is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA, he knows his the attitudes Americans
show up with at every backyard BBQ and border crossing.
He is talking to the ignorant and arrogant
He made the video for the PHILIPPINES, there for any place else is not on his mind. Not a part of the conversation, video or topic! Everything he said is true for the PHILIPPINES! Tayaa!
Roosters crowing is ambient sound in the Philippines. You’ll hear it alllll dayyyy!
I retried in the Philippines 5 years ago. been coming here since 1971. The guy who talking about why not to retire here is correct. On all of his points. This video is just from another perspective of time spend here. You really do not know what it is really like living here until you spend a lot time here. All the issues he mention I have been faced with. living here require a lot patients..
Welcome Back bro!
Hey crisnarf thanks buddy 🍻
Very good video on Philly in Philippines. Philly (Brian) is ok...sort of.. he's from around Philly, small town. He was a prison guard many years (screw)...nice enough fellow. He's diabetic, divorced, remarried. Found new life 4-5 years ago in Philippines. He was injured on the job, so Dept. Of Corrections pays him over $3000 per month disability.
Not bad. For life. Brian is not the authority on Philippines. 5 years there is relatively short time. I was there in 1972, when President Marcos declared Martial Law. And I am certainly not an authority on Philippines. Even with my many years there, in and out of country. Again, very good video on Philly and on retiring in Philippines. Thank you.
Regards to Cody & to you! Life in the PH is like weight & balance.
Great reaction video new sub to your channel my girlfriend is Filipina from abucay bataan Philippines 👍
thanks so much karl, glad you enjoyed it. hi to you and your gf :)
If you are from the west and planning to come to Asia and expect to find the western amenities then don't leave the west. if you get to Asia and wanna get the the amenities of the west then it's gonna cost you. But if you want to extend the value of your money then you got to live like Asians do. This not be true to Japan and South Korea though.
Roosters are great alarm clocks hahaha
hahahahahahaha 😂😂😂 those dam roosters
but honestly roosters served as alarm clock back in.the.days😂 my.grand.parents do and my parents too..if you live in the countryside or.province..
@@richellesalazar6851 that's true, same in Jamaica. The roosters serve as alarm clocks. We have a lot of barking dogs too and some expats complain about that in the PH as well. Barking dogs and crowing roosters don't have any effect on me at all because I'm used to it from my country.
I live in Florida now though, and even when I go back to Jamaica the roosters and the dogs still don't bother me. When I go to the PH for my first visit I'll feel quite at home because I see a lot of similarities there to what I'm accustomed to in Jamaica.
thank you for that inside for that other instances - not only the rpeople that retire or on the other hand the "world travellers" like the juicy vlog which - UA-cam is there income I guess.
More of this reaction video 😊
hey van helsing, we can sure do that for you buddy ❤
Wow!, Thanks@@CoshanUncharted ❤
If i was going to take advice it wouldnt be ftom someone who just visted the pi but someone who was living there.
However everyone's experience is different. We have a house in the Philippines and would rsther invest our own hard earned money into the country than scrimp and save while we're there so we come back and work a bit to fund ourself being there. We've isited over 30 provinces in 4 years and have a lot of experience throughout different provinces as apposed to one.. But yeah it's your decision who you listen to 👌🏼 it doesn't make either of us wrong.. It makes our experience different.
I watch his video also a few days ago....I wondered about the title but after watching I had to agree with most everything he said...he makes a log of good points to people who have never been here.
hey KF, yea he does make some good points for first time foreigners coming to the philippines but i dont think every single point would be enough to tell somebody not to come, for example the smoke issues or the rooster issues or the internet speed issue which is not really true. I think its helpful for foreigners to see that some of these points or issues should not stop you coming or retiring in the philippines because you can find amazing internet speed and not every single street has noisy roosters or smokey streets 😊🇵🇭
@@CoshanUncharted Yep....I agree with you there, I think anyone thinking about moving to the Philippines just needs to take the time to study it a bit and visit here a few time to get a "feel" for how you like it. and when you move. RENT first so if something comes up your allowed to move...I have been here now 5 years but I have been coming here over the past 13 years off and on. As far as the roosters....LOL> I built my house with a beautiful view in the Mountain and a stunning rice field across the rod from my house. but two years later a rooster farm moved in cross the road....over 200 of them. Nothing I can do about it...just accept it. your never going to find a "Perfect place" . just be willing to accept things.
Thank you sir for that reaction!
hey mutya, thank you very much for watching buddy
there are always people who can't adopt to a new place but instead wanted the whole place to adopt to him. You can see this in the international news or on FB newsfeeds.
yep this is very true, we like what philly tried to do with this vlog though in helping people although of course we dont agree with every point 😊. I hope we did a good point in addressing some of the points he made
A good case in point, when you are in other country, learn the culture and never imposed your western mindset to them. Act like the native so to speak. Respect for others is the key to live and getting along will take you a long way with the Filipino culture. They will take their shirt off just to make you comfortable around them. Thanks for your comments and reactions to the expat point of view forewarning those who decide to retire in the Philippines. God bless and wish that you two can go back to the Philippines.
We love you man
we love you to buddy 🇵🇭😊
Wow!!!!!!!

Check out Tito Tim Travels and Texas Filipino, they are Iloilo based foreign vloggers. It's nice to watch their chill videos on your own time.
Salamat kris
Where are you now??? 🇵🇭
Check out "Sunshine Shoulders" Great Vogger.
I liked how u comment..
New here..
very nice
I Salute Sir Brian for his vlog. I'm his long time subscriber. I agree with it. If you don't have patients then you can leave our country. .Yes, even your a, Filipino you won't ever disrespect Or insult anyone in public.
Yup me too grace !
Absolutely need verified month income in Thailand now, and later..in Philippines. Why? Too many "dead beat" foreigners enter the country, blow their cash on girls, booze, drugs, then get turned down by their own embassy for emergency funds. They get stuck in Asia, start begging, committing crimes, mooch off of others, etc. Thailand, Philippines does not want those type of tourists. Thailand requiring copies of bank statements now, for many type visas. The old hippie, backpacker, "sleep under a rock" days are over! Deal with it! Better have a steady ibcome!
He is a good and wonderful white guy who reached the stage of nirvana not in India but in the philippines.
As an expat to other country, you should abide the rules. Follow what the government said. If you do not want to follow you can leave anytime.😬😂😜
Redhorse you can drink that in London, you can find one Philippine restaurant and bar at toothing.
very true, also theres a HUGE filipino community at earls court to its basically like walking into the philippines right outside the station. All you hear is tagalog with all eateries serving local pinoy foods beers ect its amazinggggg. never new about these types of places down in tooting to though so thank you
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There are roosters breed specifically for their extraordinary long Crows Cody would enjoy that little fact 😂
Already watched it! He doesnt mean don't try it, he means its not for certain people. Philly is cool! Opinionated, yeah. But he lives there. I used to live in Mindanao, the only thing I will say about it is...try another province first! Heheh
He is the a good white guy who reached the stage of nirvana not in India but in the philippines.
Sorry you are wrong about internet, suppliers don't offer the same packages to private home owners compared to hotels. Lots of breakdown. I have been living here for 18 months and I think not 5~6weeks pass where I don't loose wifi for 1~2 days. Also patience is about being prepsred to get to the till in supermarket and shop assistant starts to scan your items and after a couple walks away leaving you standing there while they do some other internal business. Dont retire to Philippines unless you have stayed in an airbnb and looked after yourself, not a hotel. Anyway UTV. up the villa.
There are foreigner who go here who have lots of complain comparing it to their country remember they are in different country with sometimes diff culture, rules, and laws what they want is the Philippines to adjust for them a vlogger being in an island complaining of signal and experience brown out saying that they are angry and annoyed Filipino people supporting them for subscriber and view and acting like a prominent person
Burning leaves at sundown is believed to help temporarily drive out mosquitos, which is good enough respite for many. Roosters are the common man's clock too, not to mention weekends cock fighting culture which still exists like horse racing or bullfighting in other countries. Laid back lifestyle goes with the hot weather, which is exhausting and sweaty; consider the similarity of the siesta time of Spain or the shutting shops for noon time breaks in India. Also, there are no killer winter weathers. Throw a seed and it will grow, so to say.
Roosters 😂 I also don’t like them, but I can deal with it, but loud music is something that drives me crazy. I remember when in Malapasqua, having dinner on a local food stall , the food was delicious, but they had the music so loud, that It was hard to appreciate the food. But anyway, that won’t interfere on my retirement plan in the Philippines. Take care 👍🏽
most brngys around here have a 'dj' house who takes it upon themselves to blast distorted blaring music all day to the entire brngy from early morning til 8 at night if you are lucky.i dont know how they afford the electric wasted to do it, none of them work.
I kinda agree with him. His points are largely towards the expats who have this naive idea of the Philippines or worse, have no idea what the Philippines is like at all. They tend to be the ones who come here, get severe culture shock, go home, and then rant about how awful the Philippines is. Frankly, I'd rather those people didn't come to the Philippines at all.
Yea this is very true there are a lot of foreigners like that, but also i dont think everything was entirely true like the internet speed issue or the idea of there being a lot of smoke around ect. I think some of these points could make the difference between people coming or avoiding coming for reasons that are not actually true. We have found many places with amazing internet for example ❤🇵🇭
@@CoshanUncharted he's right about the smoke. I have a neighbor who burns plastic almost on a daily basis
@@katdaddy469 i have a dozen like that...cant hang clothes out to dry. this guy visits in a rich area away from %99 of normal filipino life and spends most his time here traveling tourist spots at that,
yet a lot of westerners like to retire in philippines, they marry a filipina to secure lifetime free caregiver (gross), they have great value of thier 1500$ monthly pension from govt.
$1500 pensions from govt ???...lol..america is NOT the philippines, the govt in USA gives you NOTHING! in america you work 40-80hours every week from 18 years old until you are 60-67 years old,, EVERY WEEK ,all your life.and a small part of your PAY goes to a fund called social security. its money you WORKED for all your life, nobody GIVES it to you. and pensions were something they had years and years ago from the company where you worked, they have been gone since 1975 for the most part,surely nobody today has a company offering 'pensions'
@@justaguy-69 did you really understood my point? Lol maybe not
Yes Canada is a public health care and free like U.K.
The internet is real slow. IF your in the built up areas such as Manila, Cebu or even Davao, you will have issues with internet. Outside these built up areas and more in the provinces, internet is very slow and spotty.
17:27 I'm a filipino but i don't know if there is a law that" Foreigners are not allowed to disrespect a filipino" that sounds kind of funny to me but, i think that guy is talking about when you're driving in the philippines and you were caught by the police for a violation and you became disrespectful to the police, the police will bring charges against you for being rude and arrogant not only to foreigner but also to filipinos. The law he says is for everyone not just for foreigners. That's why you have to be respectful so that the police will not give you additional charges...😂😂😂
A few points - A number of countries have free health care, and many are better than the NHS. Hotels are not a good measure of widely distributed internet service which is often terrible. Also he is specifically talking about retirement, you route is outside the scope of his comnents.
You are entitled to your own opinion... just consider individual differences. Even in Europe or US or any country in particular urban cities are different from rural life. High end amenities are in the city go live there.....if you want the best in life you need money. Why stay in the province if that is so inconvinient for you?
It's a country of 🐓 roosters! What's wrong wd that? At least not 🐍 snake.
Eight Miles from HOME is having a great time in the Philippines
we will check them out thanks
Bad idea to move anywhere with some type of money for emergency purposes, specifically if one gets sick or something else. Anything could happen and you would absolutely need an emergency fund to fall back on
Roosters lol, me too. I am local and they wake me up at 4am, dammit.
hahahahaha dam roosters, but thats what makes the philippines the philippines 😊
