    Mike I've watched a few of your videos. You paint this picture like life in the philippines is all sunshine and rainbows The reality is it's not Yes it's extremely cheap to live and if you have enough money you can avoid alot of issues My thing is why should I go through my life avoiding issues or turning my nose at them It's so many problems with that country it's ridiculous but you guys on UA-cam make it seem like a poor man's paradise and it's getting old Let's talk about how the police bribe foreigners for no damn reason Let's talk about how many women are abandoning their kids on the streets and strangers end up taking them in Let's touch on the subject of politicians using their power to solve their personal issues instead of helping the country grow They haven't done much to help most Philippine people to find work People are forced to find work abroad because the country isn't making to moves to grow the economy Philippines is not that poor of a country that people in power are keeping people poor The government also makes it hard for foreign investors because the rich in PH want to keep the wealth to themselves instead of allowing investors abroad to grow the economy It's already areas all over that country that the average local can't afford to live so it's not like they are trying to prevent that from happening Mike it's so much more I can touch on those are just what came in mind It's alot more negatives to PH other than scammers and I hope you bring it to light

      How i can tell you is nowhere is 100% perfect. I'm 68 years old and i had my own electronic specially service company back for 25 years when i was younger and was a millionaire. I live in chicago most my life it is turned into a cesspool of violence he had a police can tap you up here and they can do all kinds of crap but you don't think that happens where you're at? Don't do nuts and wrong and you'll be fine then here over two years like mike win had no problem but we don't go out making trouble for nobody. And you know what the guy would probably take 200 to 400 pesos on of speeding violation or something so you're looking at less than $5! How much are the bribes where you're at? They don't screw around by knee caps and stuff were fine the rest of your stuff i don't know if i didn't read the whole thing. It's peaceful we might have nice weather. Maybe you're jealous? I wouldn't go back home for nothing!

    Scamming is a great career for these young girls. Think about it. A Teacher in the Phillie Willie makes about $6,000 (USD). That's $60,000 in 10 years. These girls can make much more than that scamming people. And they don't have to go to 4 years of college and get a degree to do it. They also don't have to go to work everyday, like a Teacher does.

Once they go that route they will never change, they have handlers to make most of their decisions and call the shots to extract as much money from a foreigner. Its a shame that its so common here. All of them are cold and calculating and have no problem doing whatever they have to get what they want.

    What I don't understand is what is with these guys who go buy lands and try to build a house and they are not even living in PH. There are no houses to rent? Some of these guys deserve to get scammed. You can rent for real cheap, why buy a house? specially under someone else's name. After you lived there for a few years and lived with your girlfriend for at least a couple of years, then maybe think abut building a house for her. I think the reality of this story is Sam probably is not retired or ready to move and he thinks by spending a bunch of money on this girl he is buying her love and she is going to wait for him, Wrong.

    Terrific Video Breakdown. This Helps ALOT for guys who are so Quick to BOTH Instantly Fall in Love and Give out Cash Directly to Females. If the Other Guy was Smart in that Story, he should have gave the attorney his money to hold in a escrow or Trust Account to make sure the Funds are Distributed Correctly to the Correct Lot/Property and that it was a Clean and Smooth Transaction instead of giving her the Money like an idiot and trusting her Word.
    ALOT of guys also do that same crap when it comes to getting an abortion. Giving a Chick the cash and Trusting her to make the right decision and when she changes her mind out of the Blue in his ass, he lost his money and has to commit to taking care of a child for 18 to 21 years he didn't want. If a Man was Smart, he'd go with her ass to the clinic and make sure the procedure is done and pay the facility directly himself and get paperwork proof it's done officially just like the attorney Example above. That's just my opinion.
    Great Video. Keep up the Great work 👍👍👍
