Just discovered your channel Jay. Everything you said in your Vlogs are so true. I am a Fil-am living in the US for 30+ yrs and I tell you, the small 1 month vacations I have time and money for have been the happiest. I have only been back 3 times and I miss it already. Thinking of going back to my old hometown Dumaguete and spend a happy life.
Hello 89gt! Man I hope you get back also, dumaguete is definitely going to be partially our home, maybe cebu city since daughter was born there. It's hard being away, I know for you it must be really bad. Stay safe and find a way buddy. Stay in touch.
@@jaysphilippines Just waiting on my passport renewal and hoping to get there by the end of the year. I know the "BER" months are the happiest and festive times of the year. 😁👍
The Philippines is part of my future. I've visited there 2 times and am currently engaged to a Filipina. I love the Philippines and once I retire my soon to be wife and I will relocate there and I cannot wait to move there. I love the country and the people. First time visiting your channel and new subscriber here.
I appreciate you! Happy to hear things coming together for you. Lots of us out there. Lol 😆 yes, it's a great sec9nd chance at a more meaningful existence. Hope to hear more from you. Take care. Jay
Jay, I want to live in the Philippines 🇵🇭, because of the cost of living and the friendliness of the Filipino people. I have no desire to spend my time in a bar.
You are now becoming a filipino!.. i can hear you.. the way you act.. the way you speak.. that maybe all your ways now showed that you have already adapted the filipino culture! God bless you and welcome home! 🙏❤
Happy father's Day you are amazing and God bless your amazing family god bless this is one of the best vlog of the American vlog hopefully more american be kind humble and love our culture and thank you for loving our country Philippines culture and god bless happy father's Day
Hello Richard! 👋 that means alot to hear. They are special to me when grown men share kindness and help another with simple words. I hope you are well and staying cool. Thank you for great comment. Jay
She has your eyes, so adorable. I can relate, we have a 7 yo daughter who was born in a country where I had no existence. and I know from experience how hard it is. At the end of the day you just want to be together with them and make sure she is happy and healthy all of the time. 4 years ago I put an end to the LDRs and traveling. Now we live in Canada and my daughter is fluent in English, as a second language. I always keep my options open however, as for the future, and where we want to be. We also live in a middle of a big Filipino community and we couldn't ask for any better neighbors. I am happy for you mate, wishing you all the best from the true North. 🍁
Wow, that awesome story. Happy for you also, that's really awesome that you're all together. You stay safe up there. Hope to hear more from you. Take care, jay
You've just gained another subscriber... I like the idea of positivity... too much problems all over the world... don't wanna hear anymore negative things
Dear Jay - I agree with everything you said and that was so kind and honest of you to speak about the Philippines and the life there. I'm happy for you and congratulations about your beautiful baby girl (she will probably be the next Miss Universe) when she reach that age and you'll be a very proud father. BTW, Fathers Day is coming up in USA and I want to wish you A Happy Father's Day in advance ! May God bless you and family always! 💙❤️🩷🌼

My name is Raquel Herrera and I've been living in Los Angeles, California since my younger years. (But born in the beautiful country of the Philippines)
Xin Chao! Hello again from Vietnam. I like your vlogs, you are straightforward about how your perspective towards our country and became a better man since you found a Filipina and have a lovely daughter. The Philippines is your home now, Sir Jay. God bless you. I hope to visit Dumaguete on my next vacation and meet you personally.
I’m a Filipino-American living in Las Vegas Nevada and I love the Awesome content that you’re putting out. Jay you’re doing it the right way immersing yourself in the culture. More power to you & your family and of course your UA-cam channel !
Hello, Mr. Bob! Fil-am in Vegas! Nice. I truly appreciate your message! Always puts a smile on my face hearing from unique people around the world. Thank you so much. Be safe friend. Jay
Hey Jay. Great Video. Yea, I am hooked on the Philippines too. I never smiled so much there. As soon as we got off the Ferry in Bohol....we just smiling. For me, the positives outweigh the negatives there. It's not perfect, but we love it.
Hey Jay. You mean business in your video! I love it. The Philippines is a gorgeous place to live . I am attracted to your channel because I have the same plans as you. I just turned 50, and I am a Filipino living in Canada. I have a project in mind that i would like to start soon in my hometown, so I have something to lean on to when I retire. I am still waiting on some paperwork ( land title), and you know those take a long time. Your videos are so unique. I love the editing style ( Ky and Dumaguete locations) and the funny cartoon characters. It makes me smile every time. I have watched all your videos during the weekend. Your video is way better, in my opinion, than the other vloggers are doing. You dont just sit in front of the camera and talk... those video clips in between with your gym actions and your family , plus I get to see what does Dumaguete looks like... make it really worth watching. You made me investigate who are those vloggers that you were talking about , and yeah...i found them all.😂😂😂😂😂 Now I understand what you're talking about. God bless your channel , your upcoming projects, and your gorgeous family. Thank you for sharing your love for the Philippines. Pilipinas kong mahal!❤❤
Maayong Adlaw, fellow Canadian, 50 M from BC Canada living in Valencia if you need tips or any questions. always good for other Canadians to come out and visit!. your always welcome! its a blast here and im not leaving!
Lol 😆 ypu found them like I found them. They aren't hard to find vloggers like those. You comment was awesome and love hearing these kind. I open them and when they are long, I get excited to read. I appreciate you and your kind comments. I love that support. I'll keep trying toninorove this thing over time. Hope to hear more from you, really do. You stay safe up in 🇨🇦. Take care. Jay
Hey Jay! Yes, the Philippines is not all sunshine and rainbows. If I had a channel, I would definitely discuss the negative aspects of the Philippines. However, like yourself, I would focus on the positive aspects. The best part of the Philippines are the people. I went grocery shopping early this morning. I went to Wal-Mart and H.E.B. The people here in Texas are very friendly and polite, but everyone keeps to themselves for the most part and mind their own business. I have been in the Philippines twice now and I looked forward to leaving the hotel room every day when I was there. I would go for long walks on the boulevard. I would also go for long walks in the malls in Iloilo and Manila. Everywhere I went, I would greet people or they would greet me. Almost everyone has a smile on their face. Every day I would stop to chat with expats or local Filipinos. You will make many friends if you just allow yourself to open up to people there and be friendly. If someone is shy or an introvert, it is easy to break out of that shell in the Philippines.
@@jaysphilippines Hey Brother! It blows my mind how many trolls there are out there. The biggest shit talkers are just jealous that you have a beautiful wife and daughter and a rapidly growing channel. Keep doing what you're doing and keep living the dream!
Hi I just want to say your a good responsible father and it’s nice to point out the good side of the Philippines and of course every country in the world has a negative side and I like that you are not like other expats expecting their western cultures and standards when moving to another country and everything that you talk about in you vlog is the truth and thank you for respecting and embracing our culture. God bless your family ❤️🙏🏼🤗🥰
I'm surprised I just consecutively watched 3 of your videos! You make sense, I enjoyed it and made me realize some things that I've taken for granted or already forgotten about. Family, heath, purpose and time are gold. New subscriber here. Gonna watch some more.
I am glad to hear that, later this year videos will improve as we have 3 months of philippines scheduled. Thats awesome your getting something out of the videos. Glad to have you here. Stay safe, jay
Hi I just want to say your a good responsible father and I agree about everything that you talk about in your vlog also your not like other expats whos expecting their wester standard when moving to another country becs every country in the world has their negative side. Thank you for embracing our culture and adapting to it. God bless your family 🙏🏼❤️🤗
Yes, thank you so much Xina! I definitely feel lucky to get to live here. It's a unique culture with a very supportive country. Couldn't really ask for more. Thank-you, jay
I really appreciate you Jay. Your channel really focus on family. Foreigners can experience the Philippines but will never be really experience The Philippines if not emerge in the local lifestyle and culture
There's so much negativity in the world. Each country has its own share. Focusing on positivity encourages optimism and hope among people and places. Jay, You're on the right track in enhancing and promoting positivity in this part of the world. P is for the beautiful Philippines and great Positivity therein!
All countries have positives and negatives... there is no Country without negatives ....even the holiest place in the world have negatives.....but we have to look both....btw Kentucky is beautiful specially your place....hats off to you talking about protecting your family specially your lovely beautiful daughter...hope both of you raised her with Filipino values....
Thank you Jay. Always positive we don't want to hear all our problems. We are happy people even we are poor. FILIPINOS are always positive so this is why we don't want to hear some negativity... Yo all foreigners, We love singing we have karaoke, we are friendly and hospitable.... You accept our culture and don't complain if you want to live in the Philippines
You are so welcome 🙏! Thank you, I don't like that type of vloggs. I am happy to have a home and feel like I belong. While not perfect, it's perfect for me. You be safe and blessed. Hope to hear more from you. Jay
Hey Man I love your posting all the positivity man thats what im here for. New sub here Im from Florida ive been living in brazil and Colombia 6 months out of the year and now im sold on wanting to explore the Philippines thank you for all the knowledge im taking notes and cant wait to touch down . Again thanks for the positive content man
Hey Jason, glad to hear from you buddy! Appreciate you, enjoy your trip. It's hard not to enjoy the Philippines, endless possibilities. Stay in touch! Jay
Jay I'm a New Subscriber to your channel and I agree with what you are saying about your Daughter and wife. Also I will be visiting South East Asia (Thailand 4 Cosmetic Dentistry and Philippines just visit a couple of friends and there new wives) in 2 months.
My first visit to the Philippines was in March 2012....and I was hooked 🙂 It took a few years to adjust my lifestyle to be able to be here but loving it.
First of all, I like how you start your blog by eliminating the negativity and not letting it to foster and proceeded to what’s the positive side of the Philippines you’re obviously understand and value the Filipino culture you must be from the south I can tell from your accent and that’s why you’re also able to relate and adjust yourself because I know most people from the south family oriented and share similar values. You have have a beautiful wife and daughter I’m glad you that found the Philippines you’re home the weather is very similar to the south during the summer.
Hello Manny! 👋 thank you for the family compliments. It's nice to see messages like these. I appreciate you and hope you are doing well. Stay safe. Jay
BRAVO"BRAVO"🤙🤙🤙🤙😎🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 Brother you speak my mind Thank you.Oh I am Polynesian 🤙I have tears to the end of your video saying hi to Filipino I did experience that 🤩
Hello 👋 Jcamp! Appreciate you coming aboard. I can see going back to home for sure. There are truly so many Positives in both places. If my grown kids was closer, we would stay here also. Hope to hear more from you. Jay
Awesome! Keep it positive! I’m all in for a positive channel. I’m not a dummy I know all about this world. I don’t need negative videos in my life because I already know about the downs of life and travel and new places. And like you said plenty of negative videos already.
whats up partner. 8 years into watching youtube philippines, regardless of who i have watched. 90 percent is same regurgitated stuff about the problems. lol thanks for the comment!! stay safe out there. jay
You are right Jay. Stay away about complicated content that can bring trouble to you in the future. And I think one of it is about politics. Don't mention about politics in Philippines because I heard a lot about that issue that brings trouble to the bloggers in Philippines. Just live your life with enjoyment and happiness together with your family.Life is so short not to enjoy it. That's one of the greatest gift of God to appreciate life and to make it meaningful.
@@jaysphilippines Filipinos are very open-minded people and very patience to understand that issue but not all Filipinos have that kind of attitude. Thank you! I pray you and your family is doing well also. God bless to your youtube channel.
it all start with a dream and willingness to try. I have no doubt you will find it. just a matter of when. thank you for your words buddy, means alot. jay
i laughed when he said, "i had to stop the convo bc it's bin 30mis of talking and seems it keeps on going and going..."😂 yes, most of us loves talking even to strangers
I've been going to Kentucky years ago.. specifically Lexington due to work. I do miss some stuff in the place, Bourbon for one -- bourbon coffee, bourbon ice cream, etc. :D However, I seem not to find myself living in Kentucky for a long time. The place is really very beautiful, but what I do miss are the people. Don't get me wrong, KY are polite people, but you could no longer see people walking down the streets at 6pm. In PH you could talk to people, go out, connect to people. That's what I always miss when I go to Kentucky.
Yes, people don't seem to understand the importance of that anymore. Human connection is really lacking for many people. Sure, usa has great things and stuff. But the connection isn't there anymore. 😕
Oh, oh, You gonna have a Miss Universe in the future. Here comes MISS Kentucky? Miss Philippines? 😅 I kinda watched all the half n half filipino athletes all over the world flocking to represent THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 FOR THE NEXT COMING OLYMPIC IN FRANCE 🇫🇷 😅😅 I had never heard this before, but now they love the Philippines 🇵🇭 The Philippines is rising, it will be in the podium sooner or later 🎉
Hello Zzzzzzz! 👋 hope your well. I'll be keeping an eye on her and her talents. Not sure pageants are a positive thing. 😀 we will see though. Take care and thanks for comment. Jay
Love what you said here. First timer on your channel. Subscribed! You're exactly right, so many foreigners there just clickbaiting but have no skin on the game. they don't care. I also have a kid there but sadly did not work with the mom so I'm back in US and getting my kid here in 2 years. Love Pinas and would come and visit and allow my kid to have his relationship with the mom and her family there.
Hello wolf! 👋 sorry to hear that man. Break ups are some of the toughest things, and with a kid. Prayers for you to get time with your child and grow together. Stay strong, we def got skin in the game. Jay
I'm always the guy waiving at people on the bike trail, I smile and say hi to everybody I pass. you can tell a lot about a person just by their reaction. What's scary is the younger guys and gals don't know how to react. Their social skill are sub-par because of the devices and social media.
hello Bird Watcher! it's true that social skills seem to be declining among the younger generation, possibly due to the overuse of devices and social media. keep spreading those smiles and positive vibes you might just inspire others to do the same
Awww your daughter is so so beautiful 😊 just like your wife of course Nice video im a OFW and your channel im loving it.GOD bless you and your family.😊😊new subbed
May my mga kababayan realize how lucky and blessed we are even if we are not that well-off economically. May we retain our moral and Godly values that you, Jay, see in us and not be imitators of western values that alienate us from who we really are-persons created in the image and likeness of God. To be better economically, it all depends on how one with the help of God does his/her best while clinging on to God. I know many, like me who, when in our childhood our families always have nothing to eat but because of the love of our families, we did our best to get our education and finally change our families' economic situation. Now we can already buy and eat the kind of food we want. But of course, learning from a very difficult economic life I have had in my growing up years, I now learn to stick to what is essential in life only and when I get into a situation that I meet somebody in need of help, I have in my heart and pocket a space to be of help. The latter is my way of thanking God for blessing me and my efforts as a working student before.
Thank you Jay for your great I insights but the reality. Thank you for your sensibility and your being realistic. I appreciate your honesty and your kindness and willingness to appreciate our culture and our ways of living. I watched those expat you’re talking about and it is tiring and sometimes too depressing to hear everything that was said😂. You’re right that a Filipino myself willing be nice to hear good and happy stuff. Thank you for keeping your channel real. Love to your family from Florida 🇺🇸!
Hello Vilma! From Florida, my dad and oldest son and youngest brother all live in Florida. Sarasota, windermere and fort Myers. I'm glad you like my style 😎. I'll get better and continue this way. Hope you are well and stay blessed. 🙏 appreciate your comment. Jay
I really like you, Jay, I like the way you think. You’re obviously a very intelligent man, you definitely know how to express yourself. I’m a little jealous, you have the most beautiful daughter, and wife, and it may be too late for me. I live in Arkansas, and my wonderful wife of 20 years died of cancer two years ago. I’m 72, now, and not sure if I have the energy to make the trip. I’m not rich, but okay financially. You may be my favorite “Phillipines “ vloggers, now.
Thank you Mr.Barry, appreciate your comment and words. Sorry about your wife, it's always hard I know. Hope your doing well and maybe you can visit one day. It could be a interesting experience. I know it's hard to decide sometimes. Take care sir. Jay
@@jaysphilippines Obviously, you now had that " Filipino Father" way of thinking. But you also had that American frankness still remained... that direct and upfront way of communicating your thoughts.
@@Abdul_JaculBuratsadorSalsalani yes, I hope that works here on UA-cam. 😆. I definitely worry about the future. And I keep my defenses up. I appreciate your comment. I've got lots more to share. Be safe friend. Jay
This video uplifts the Philippines and its people and there was not a single second where I thought you weren’t keeping it real. Thanks for the truths said about the mindset of those men who come to the country looking to date Filipino women. You nailed it. 👊
@@jaysphilippines Thanks. I thought so. I was a student at Brescia College, Owensboro, Kentucky, in the 1970s. Just saying. Best wishes for your channel 🤞
My dad worked many years in Saudi Arabia for petroleum helicopters, he was a pilot for the oil riggs. We are in Kentucky at the moment. Back to Philippines is couple months. Busy working at moment. Hope your well. Jay
Now, that's a solid father talking. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you Jeffrey
MY FIRST TIME TO THE PHILIPPINES WAS IN 1987. (I WAS 18 YEARS OLD). NOW IM 55 AND VISIT EVERY MONTH.
Loved to seen philippines in 87. That would be cool. Awesome you get to visit like that. Jay
Just discovered your channel Jay. Everything you said in your Vlogs are so true. I am a Fil-am living in the US for 30+ yrs and I tell you, the small 1 month vacations I have time and money for have been the happiest. I have only been back 3 times and I miss it already. Thinking of going back to my old hometown Dumaguete and spend a happy life.
Hello 89gt! Man I hope you get back also, dumaguete is definitely going to be partially our home, maybe cebu city since daughter was born there. It's hard being away, I know for you it must be really bad. Stay safe and find a way buddy. Stay in touch.
@@jaysphilippines Just waiting on my passport renewal and hoping to get there by the end of the year. I know the "BER" months are the happiest and festive times of the year. 😁👍

Living in codos and dating random woman is not the answer. Lol find a wife and settle down. Thank you. Jay

😀 alright! I'll tale that compliment. Appreciate you Bill! 🙏 jay
My first visit to the Philippines was in March 2012....and I was hooked 🙂 It took a few years to adjust my lifestyle to be able to be here but loving it.
Agree 1000% on the channels that mess up and focus on the wrong things. So much American screw ups.
I was close to not making it, almost gave up early on. It took time, but things Def worked out. I'm so ready to adjust lifestyle.
that animation is super COOL 🥰
Thank you Justin! Wife works hard on it. Jay
@@jaysphilippines thanks for the realtalk about in our country (Philippines)
First of all, I like how you start your blog by eliminating the negativity and not letting it to foster and proceeded to what’s the positive side of the Philippines you’re obviously understand and value the Filipino culture you must be from the south I can tell from your accent and that’s why you’re also able to relate and adjust yourself because I know most people from the south family oriented and share similar values. You have have a beautiful wife and daughter I’m glad you that found the Philippines you’re home the weather is very similar to the south during the summer.
Hello Manny! 👋 thank you for the family compliments. It's nice to see messages like these. I appreciate you and hope you are doing well. Stay safe. Jay
@@jaysphilippines
My pleasure stay safe and
Mabuhay to your beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️
Is that all your palayan? 😊 You are super bless naman for rice. Very nice view.
😊 We feel truly blessed to have such a beautiful view, it's just our neighbor's fields though. Glad you enjoyed it
Truly enjoy blogging about your family .Thank you ❤
Thank you so much! 💓 jay
You have a beautiful family like your daughter,,,
Thank you Andres! 😊 appreciate you 🙏 jay
BRAVO"BRAVO"🤙🤙🤙🤙😎🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 Brother you speak my mind Thank you.Oh I am Polynesian 🤙I have tears to the end of your video saying hi to Filipino I did experience that 🤩
Thank you Huli! 😊 your very kind. We are still new to youtube, hoping we get better and better. POLYNESIAN, THATS 😎 🆒️.
new sub here. i really like your contents...my son was born in ph.. stayed in ph for years, i ended up going back to australia with my fam...
Hello 👋 Jcamp! Appreciate you coming aboard. I can see going back to home for sure. There are truly so many Positives in both places. If my grown kids was closer, we would stay here also. Hope to hear more from you. Jay
Awesome! Keep it positive! I’m all in for a positive channel. I’m not a dummy I know all about this world. I don’t need negative videos in my life because I already know about the downs of life and travel and new places. And like you said plenty of negative videos already.
whats up partner. 8 years into watching youtube philippines, regardless of who i have watched. 90 percent is same regurgitated stuff about the problems. lol thanks for the comment!! stay safe out there. jay
"RESPECT"
tnx for that.
Thank you buddy! 😊 appreciate you!
You are right Jay. Stay away about complicated content that can bring trouble to you in the future. And I think one of it is about politics. Don't mention about politics in Philippines because I heard a lot about that issue that brings trouble to the bloggers in Philippines. Just live your life with enjoyment and happiness together with your family.Life is so short not to enjoy it. That's one of the greatest gift of God to appreciate life and to make it meaningful.
Easy choice, those vlogs annoy me, can't imagine how Filipinos feel. Hope you are well, thank you! 😊 jay
@@jaysphilippines Filipinos are very open-minded people and very patience to understand that issue but not all Filipinos have that kind of attitude. Thank you! I pray you and your family is doing well also. God bless to your youtube channel.
Your baby is gorgeous 🥰
Thank you Pat! 😊 appreciate you! Jay
Your content is refreshing & inspiring, I can’t wait to explore with the hope I can stay long term
it all start with a dream and willingness to try. I have no doubt you will find it. just a matter of when. thank you for your words buddy, means alot. jay
i laughed when he said, "i had to stop the convo bc it's bin 30mis of talking and seems it keeps on going and going..."😂 yes, most of us loves talking even to strangers
Yes, it's one of the best parts, makes people feel welcomed. I do enjoy it. 😉 jay
I've been going to Kentucky years ago.. specifically Lexington due to work.
I do miss some stuff in the place, Bourbon for one -- bourbon coffee, bourbon ice cream, etc. :D
However, I seem not to find myself living in Kentucky for a long time. The place is really very beautiful, but what I do miss are the people. Don't get me wrong, KY are polite people, but you could no longer see people walking down the streets at 6pm. In PH you could talk to people, go out, connect to people. That's what I always miss when I go to Kentucky.
Yes, people don't seem to understand the importance of that anymore. Human connection is really lacking for many people. Sure, usa has great things and stuff. But the connection isn't there anymore. 😕
The people are awesome. Tell the true Brother !!!! Also, respect the country !
:) yes sir buddy. lol That part is getting pretty easy. j
very well said !
Thank you Mr.Gary! 😊 appreciate you. Jay
Congrats to your new born baby🎉
Thank you! 😊. Jay
You just a good dad and humble man.
Thank-you puppy! Jay
New subscriber 😊 Filipina from Texas

Beautiful views
Thank you Emelina! 😊 jay
You're sooooo right about living in the USA
It's such a shame, I can't believe what is happening here. Def has lost its shine. Thanks, jay
@@jaysphilippines I would def leave America if I have a choice.
Oh, oh,
You gonna have a Miss Universe in the future.
Here comes MISS Kentucky?
Miss Philippines? 😅
I kinda watched all the half n half filipino athletes all over the world flocking to represent THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 FOR THE NEXT COMING OLYMPIC IN FRANCE 🇫🇷 😅😅
I had never heard this before, but now they love the Philippines 🇵🇭
The Philippines is rising, it will be in the podium sooner or later 🎉
Hello Zzzzzzz! 👋 hope your well. I'll be keeping an eye on her and her talents. Not sure pageants are a positive thing. 😀 we will see though. Take care and thanks for comment. Jay
I accept that
WOW! You were in Dumaguete too!
Dumaguete is our home away from USA. Most of our future vlogs will be centered in Dumaguete. Hope your well. Jay
Wow, nice greenery. Love Dumaguete, it is part of my life.😇
Yes, it's a great place. Thank you for comment. 😊 🙏 jay
Love what you said here. First timer on your channel. Subscribed! You're exactly right, so many foreigners there just clickbaiting but have no skin on the game. they don't care. I also have a kid there but sadly did not work with the mom so I'm back in US and getting my kid here in 2 years. Love Pinas and would come and visit and allow my kid to have his relationship with the mom and her family there.
Hello wolf! 👋 sorry to hear that man. Break ups are some of the toughest things, and with a kid. Prayers for you to get time with your child and grow together. Stay strong, we def got skin in the game. Jay
@@jaysphilippines Thanks Jay!
Not shipping ads❤
😉, awesome tonhear friend. Hope to hear more from you. Take care, jay
Hi jay, ur right. Its a matter of focus. If u focus on d negative den u become negative, same otherwise...
Thank you Felix, 😊 appreciate your comment. Jay
Whats cool Jay, U walk ur talk!
I do try, it's going to get more fun here soon. 😀
I know exactly how you feel about your daughter. I have two daughters myself.
2, wow. So much work! Lol 😆 enjoy. I want another. I really do. Jay
@@jaysphilippines thanks. that's why i have gray hair 🙂. I'm just glad that they grew up and became contributing members to society.
I'm always the guy waiving at people on the bike trail, I smile and say hi to everybody I pass. you can tell a lot about a person just by their reaction. What's scary is the younger guys and gals don't know how to react. Their social skill are sub-par because of the devices and social media.
hello Bird Watcher! it's true that social skills seem to be declining among the younger generation, possibly due to the overuse of devices and social media. keep spreading those smiles and positive vibes you might just inspire others to do the same
@@jaysphilippines Absolutely! Have to do my part to help the younger generation.
Your daughter is so beautiful
That's very nice of you. Thank you so much. Jay
You the best i ever knew 💖
Very well said Jay, keep it up. Say hi to your family.
Thank you Paeng! 😊 appreciate you. Jay
Awww your daughter is so so beautiful 😊 just like your wife of course Nice video im a OFW and your channel im loving it.GOD bless you and your family.😊😊new subbed
Thank you Lena, 😊 hope you are well. Stay safe 🙏 ❤️. Jay
May my mga kababayan realize how lucky and blessed we are even if we are not that well-off economically. May we retain our moral and Godly values that you, Jay, see in us and not be imitators of western values that alienate us from who we really are-persons created in the image and likeness of God.
To be better economically, it all depends on how one with the help of God does his/her best while clinging on to God. I know many, like me who, when in our childhood our families always have nothing to eat but because of the love of our families, we did our best to get our education and finally change our families' economic situation. Now we can already buy and eat the kind of food we want. But of course, learning from a very difficult economic life I have had in my growing up years, I now learn to stick to what is essential in life only and when I get into a situation that I meet somebody in need of help, I have in my heart and pocket a space to be of help. The latter is my way of thanking God for blessing me and my efforts as a working student before.
Thank you Maria! Very heartfelt message! I appreciate you very much. Hope you are doing well and healthy. Stay safe and blessed. Jay
Thanks Jay for not spitting out junk out here. As they say junk in junk out.
Thank you Joey! Appreciate you! Jay
Thank you Jay for your great I insights but the reality. Thank you for your sensibility and your being realistic. I appreciate your honesty and your kindness and willingness to appreciate our culture and our ways of living. I watched those expat you’re talking about and it is tiring and sometimes too depressing to hear everything that was said😂. You’re right that a Filipino myself willing be nice to hear good and happy stuff. Thank you for keeping your channel real. Love to your family from Florida 🇺🇸!
Hello Vilma! From Florida, my dad and oldest son and youngest brother all live in Florida. Sarasota, windermere and fort Myers. I'm glad you like my style 😎. I'll get better and continue this way. Hope you are well and stay blessed. 🙏 appreciate your comment. Jay
I really like you, Jay, I like the way you think. You’re obviously a very intelligent man, you definitely know how to express yourself. I’m a little jealous, you have the most beautiful daughter, and wife, and it may be too late for me. I live in Arkansas, and my wonderful wife of 20 years died of cancer two years ago. I’m 72, now, and not sure if I have the energy to make the trip. I’m not rich, but okay financially. You may be my favorite “Phillipines “ vloggers, now.
Thank you Mr.Barry, appreciate your comment and words. Sorry about your wife, it's always hard I know. Hope your doing well and maybe you can visit one day. It could be a interesting experience. I know it's hard to decide sometimes. Take care sir. Jay
@@jaysphilippines
Obviously, you now had that " Filipino Father" way of thinking.
But you also had that American frankness still remained... that direct and upfront way of communicating your thoughts.
@@Abdul_JaculBuratsadorSalsalani yes, I hope that works here on UA-cam. 😆. I definitely worry about the future. And I keep my defenses up. I appreciate your comment. I've got lots more to share. Be safe friend. Jay
Hi, new subscriber here ✨
Hello Kaira! 👋 glad your here. Hope to hear more from you. JAY
This video uplifts the Philippines and its people and there was not a single second where I thought you weren’t keeping it real. Thanks for the truths said about the mindset of those men who come to the country looking to date Filipino women. You nailed it. 👊
Thank you, 😊 I got alot more to say, believe me! Lol 😆 and I will say it. Thanks! Jay
