Good job at keeping your cool, following the proper protocols, being informed of the laws and having a dash cam! She was definitely at fault. I hope this video goes viral so that it can become a lesson for other drivers that try to even think about trying to pull this stunt. You should also get a dash cam for the rear of the car.
Or just stay there short-time for whatever "recreation" you seek and use a taxi. I can't see how any self-respecting foreigner could tolerate it there more than for a vacation. I know some desperate blue-pill TradCons want a wife and family, but I'm MGTOW and have no need of that.
No they couldn't. He had proof. He was driving on a major road while they were on a minor road. Common sense you have to give the right away to vehicles on the major road unless there's a traffic signal or you had enough time to proceed safely but the vehicle on the major road sped up.
@@dllee5930 We are talking about the Philippines not Thailand. If it were Thailand I might agree with you. He has his own proof and there's a street camera above. Also investigators came over not like regular street cops. These people are trained to assess accidents. So it's highly unlikely the police would side with the woman who was not even drinking in the face of insurmountable evidence.
DL Lee oh yeah Brian if the cop went with them what do you do then?I tell you the Philippines has two views of American people in their country. but when their in America.they know how we. feel in the Philippines.
that's exactly what they will always do unless you put those cockroaches in a headlock with the responsible adult style living that is their kryptonite.
I dont want a car here. A CANO renter next store parked his hable hable too far away from the curb, and s Filipino hit his bike,,, One of them got hurt, and they fined him for improper parking...his bike got impounded and he paid for the hospital bills and the other mans repair,,,
As a foreigner i know there good & bad people all over the woorld. As i foreigner i love the PH & the people yep there always those who try it on. Salamat ma,am.
Its sad and shamefull that so many philipinos can try to extort us Americans, we are not all rich, we work hard for what we have and so do filipinos, we need to have more respect for each other and always remember if we lie god knows and sees and will make those that lie cheat and extort pay for there wrong doings
Good thing you had a dash cam. Again. This is what, the 3rd time that the police have said you are not at fault? The motorcycle cut in front of you to make an illegal U Turn, the jeepney hit your parked car and now this. At least you are proof that the police do not automatically say, 'You are foreigner. You pay."
Thanks Philip for sharing that extortion, whew you are good on handling that problem! Seems like so many scammers in Philippines, that discouraged me going back to the Philippines .
motorcycle guy infront of you was in on it...had his left blinker on never turned..waited for othrr car to show up..then moved forward and pulled over before accident happened
I learned my lesson years ago finding I love you means I want your money and will steal as much as possible. Foreigners are seen as business opportunity there.
So glad you got a police officer who was fair. I tell my wife everyday, that they have the worse drivers here in the Philippines. Almost nobody looks before they enter a street or intersection. I actually timed a driver trying to park their car at SM and it took over 20 minutes to back into a parking space. Absolutely amazing.
I lived in Quezon City while my wife was alive, and once they see you are American they want your money. Just the way they think that all Americans are rich.
Yup! That's how it goes. I'll say this much, there's little or no road rage in the Philippines. Junctions always fascinate me ~ everyone converges and merges somehow without collision with only inches to spare, but they somehow do it. I've had motorcycles and tricycles come at me like some crazed kamikaze, even though they'll come off worse ~ and that's before they realise you're a Westerner. I have the added disadvantage of normally driving on the left (UK) which has a real legacy problem. Fortunately, I've never had an accident in the Philippine (yet) but thanks for all the good advice. My wife is Filipino, and it's good to have her around in a conflict. She's the daughter of a Barangay Captain, and boy, don't we all know it when she's firing on all cylinders 😂🤣😂
I fully agree...I can tell tell Brian is a straight up guy..He is being truthful..and the tape will tell.. Love it! I live here in AC...and each day driving is an awakening of sorts..lol So far after 5 months here..I've been pick pocketed once (lost a bunch of cash) and cards..learned my lesson too well...got rear ended by a trike..my girlfriend driving..and we still got taken by a shady deal they made. The guy who hit us..had a friend to fix our tail gate..it was going to cost us 20 for labor and 20 for paint. after 2 hours at the police thing .. (same place as Brian just showed) its a hot day..we just caved in and said ok. We had to leave car overnite ..which I was skeptical of..coz the damage was minimal..a couple of small dents.The next day we go get the car and I check the tires and under the hood to be sure stuff hadn't been changed out..It looked ok..and they did a good job on tailgate..I get down theroad halfway home and notice the dang odometer..had just over 1000 kilometers more on it. My girl didn't want to deal more with it..we stiff them on the extra twenty..and I wish id taken a pic of the odometer. Keep vigilant folks... Good video as usual Brian..Keep us informed :)
@@trainrecked I went to a country car wash to have my Isuzu Sportivo cleaned, i waited while the very friendly young guys there tended to my car. Later i found they had stolen a valued compact disc from my car, of course my wife and i went back, but, no one knew about it????
Definitely there fault they rolled through the stop sign u had the right away it’s sad that there r people there who try to extort from foreigners giving the country a bad name good that u stood ur ground even better u have a dash cam if I were u I would put 3 more to capture all angles of the roads good job Brian 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
oak parked r u really that dumb to think that u don’t come to a complete stop at an intersection did u listen to what Brian said about how the driver rolled through ur an idiot
oak parked yeah ur definitely dumb so ur saying u just drive through an intersection on a major road and don't stop u have no common sense and if u have a drivers license u need to give it up because u have no common sense to be a driver on any roads just because u don't physically see one does not mean u don't stop the only dumb ass here is u ur talking about a third world country where many locals don't follow the rules so if u drive there I dare u to drive straight through a busy intersection without stopping and hopefully someone will crash into u and hopefully kill ur dumb ass so there's one less idiot on the road only dumb ass here is you jackass
Thanks Brian for the info. I know what to expect in the future when I'm there. You're right in not giving in to something that you know isn't right. Way to stick to your guns! 😊👍
Good job, Brian. Way to keep your cool. You make all Americans look good by staying calm, cool, and collected...while still standing your ground. HG will be a better driver than most other Philippine people when she's old enough to drive, thanks to you. I'm proud of you brother.
Thank you, Brian. I just subscribe to your channel. After reading the comments here, I believe that you were set up for that accident. They think that by intimidating you, you'll give in. It's good to see that you are not rattled & that you are vigilant.
Well done! If you keep driving in the Philippines, it will probably happen many times. We hope to get a vehicle in the next few months. This video is really helpful. Thanks again!
I hope you make them pay for your damage and file a complaint about the attempted extortion. It looked like that was not the first time they tried to do that, with the obvious previous damage to their car. I think they hit you when they saw your white face.
Luckily you were not riding. Mabuhay. Welcome to the Philippines. Good that you have that camera, and hope she paid for your repairs. What is it that makes some Filipinos hate like that?
Omg I hate driving there it's not defensive driving there its offensive driving...What's worst is crossing the street it's like playing real life frogger..
Great job to have proof. I'm glad she did not get money out of you and this makes me sick to my stomach that some Filipinos would try this just because you are foreigner.
I thought my Filipina wife was being overly cautious when she said I should not drive in the PI and that we needed strong window tints so that people could not even see a white passenger in the car. Your stories prove that she is not overly cautious. Thank you for posting this.
@@woodpeckery Who said that he should punch her in the face?Never would I say to punch a woman or anyone in the face. Sure why make a big deal about being extorted. All I was trying to say is that he shouldn't split the cost like he did last time. So please don't put words into my mouth that I never said.
@@woodpeckery Of course I am going to object to using violence as that's not who I am and I guess that I should have explained myself further. Sorry if I came at you with the wrong attitude but I am not like those others who would hit a woman or anyone else. I had a new car for only four months when someone cut me off and caused lots of damage to it and I didn't once ever want to resort to violence because it's stupid. You are welcome my friend and again I apologize if I came at you in the wrong way. All I was thinking was that Brian was talking about the last accident that he had and that he was kind to them, which I would have been also, because of the problems that they were having. I just meant that no more doing that and that's where I was saying not to be a nice guy again. I want to thank you for your comments as they will help me to clarify myself next time. I just don't think that anyone should be nice to someone who tries to extort money from them.
@@woodpeckery I also have a soft spot for the Philippines as my wife is from there. I have family and friends who live there as well. Take care my friend and glad that we aren't screaming and yelling at each other.
I'm a personal injury lawyer in the USA Brian, this is why I will never drive there. Maybe if I move out into the actual mountains or countryside or small populated island, but just do not want this kind of problem. You always end up paying usually there, including the higher RICH FOREIGN GUY DISCOUNT .... not worth it. Rent a taxi or private driver with their own cars/minivans ......less freedom sure, but cheaper
Hi Brian , I heard you talk about amazon..But I missed the Lot Lot show...Do u get Amazon here..or ordered from US? And do you get delivered by LBC or something else? thanks...I tried Lazada once..got wrong order..ugh
I ordered from Amazon from the states and never had a problem receiving anything. i have also ordered from Lazada and have never had a problem with them also.
Slim Jim: She wasn't driving, the guy was. For majority of Filipinos the car is a GOD and in many cases bleesed by the priest. Anyway, GO GET THEM BRIAN !!
Brian, I wouldn't be surprised if the motorcycle wasn't on it. Sure looked like a set up. Lady did not know who she was messing with. It made a good video. Thanks.
It's very important to show situations like this and also when possible include video as you did (that way the viewing audience can see who may be at fault so we're not just taking the word of one over another based on preference). This is an excellent video and highly educational. One question, why would they want to take a photo the driver's license/passport? Identify theft? PS, Sup, now 20 mins outside Philly, formerly walking distance of Tony Luke's near Columbus Blvd 🤘
WOW, over 1100 comments, that's impressive of itself. You definitely know the scam and good on you to hold your ground, especially since you were in the right. I would hope the police keep a record of those who try to extort so they can discourage the practice. Way to go Brian!!!!!
DON"T YOU DARE SELL THE DEMON CAR. what happens happen, whether you get a new one or not. that 'demon car' of yours is like a warrior's sword, full of battle scars. you'll just laugh reminiscing the journey you had together.
Hey philly! As a United States Air Force security policemen I was certified as Major vehicle Traffic Accident Investigator. Lol sorry just so proud of that. Anyway I could have and have solved accidents like yours in less than minutes. It’s absolutely amazing and terrifying what you’ve had to go thru. I’m so scared to drive here even after I have driven in 17 different countries. Thank god you have your wife there and honest policemen handling things. Thanks for searing and stay strong. army strong! Lol
Great explanation for 2 reasons, 1 - Very detailed and affective 2. Quick - sometime your explanation of things is slow- Makes me rethink about coming for a visit or retirement when all I read about is how all (or many) orfthe locals try to rip off americans. Thanks
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 I've been going there every year for over 10 years now, plus I already have a place to stay. I know it's not for everybody but I have family there and I do know a lot about how things work in the PI, but I appreciate the tip!
Great video, good advice, you remained calm and objective throughout. Always good to wait for the proper authorities, regardless of outcome. Sorry about the bump to your car but so long as no one was seriously hurt it's just a fender bender though the egos of the party at fault was deeply scratched.
Sorry to hear that you had another accident. One problem that is attributed to this kind of accidents is the lack of "STOP" signs posted on logical areas of the streets. Almost all drivers there in PI don't know anything about right-of-way driving.
And, my wife has taught me (since 1982), keep my mouth shut. I let her and my relative handle, with the police, and I keep out of it. Amor propio applies here in a major way. Defined as self-esteem, self-image, self-respect and other similar concepts, but it can also mean the bad side - self-pride, self-propagation, saving face. Meaning, public image is all that matters. Right or wrong. Good job on the dashcam. I have one in both my vehicles. Now, what are going to do with the 10K you saved. I suggest buying the wife something nice.
Brian, many viewers with Philippines experience will be able to relate to this incident. There is a bit of a misconception that ALL Filipino's are friendly but the reality is, you upset them inadvertently and you will be the bad one. A crowd will gather around and will all be against you. The Americano is always at fault and they want your money, no matter how much you smile at them. Sorry and thankyou are not part of their vocabulary. A few years ago a British friend rode on a Ceres bus from the Province to Cebu City. The conductor took his money but gave no ticket and no change. An inspector boarded along the way and my friend explained why he had no ticket. A Filipina sitting nearby said to him, "You Americano's are always complaining". Can't win?
Hahaha I agree. I'm filipina but spent almost more than all my life abroad, and when I come visit the Philippines, everyone thinks I'm fully loaded including my own family. They expect me to pay for every get together at restaurant, outings etc. So each time I come for a visit i don't broadcast it, I hide hahaha.. I think it was because some pinoy who went and worked overseas come home extravagantly spend money, living like a one day millionaire, that made the pinoy locally became dependent and some of them became lazy to look for ways to find income.
@@wrinkelsecam9492 Not only Expat Pinoys do that, so do many Foreigner Expats including those who reside there also bragging in front of other expats and Filipino's about how well off they are and we know how naive Pinoys are and when they hear the b/s from the boretons they mistakenly believe that all foreigners are rolling in money, have so much, and just give it away. These sort of people give the rest of us a bad reputation because we are all judged on the actions of the few braggarts. Thanks for your comment. Bob. NZ.
Mudra Ma yes its the same almost everywhere they go on and on about how much more money is in other countries and how they are constantly struggling along with every sob story in the book. one of the main stories is of a family member thats sick and needs meds
It's funny! I met this Filipina online. Even saw her on video. I believe after 4 conversations she's asked me for 15 thousand pesos because her phone wasn't working. What's interesting about that. She always communicated with me on her phone. I asked her if your phone isn't working. How are you communicating with me. She said what I've noticed a'lot of filipinas say "Nevermind" and I told her no problem and I blocked her. Would you believe she made up another account to get in touch with me to tell me she was actually using her sisters phone. I told her she couldn't even lie straight! She did! When she founded out I started dating a Colombian Woman. She got pissed off!
You clearly had the right away. Everybody knows if a foreigner gets into an accident, its automatically your fault. Filipinos have a hard time excepting responsibility for anything. Very unfortunate.
Hey Phill, Think you had a lucky escape. Looking at the video it was there fault but I think the motorcycle was in on it. Why would he stop, really how did he know it happened he was quite far ahead. I think these people do this as their job. Whatever, your not hurt that's the main thing. Time may be to ask yourself do I really need to drive lol, it all ended well.
Interesting comment that you think the motor cycle was in on it...Going to watch it again and see what the guy on the scooter was doing (and where he was exactly)...This is a popular scam in the States to work in tandem (several vehicles working to try and cause an accident so they can get insurance money for fake injuries and even crooked doctors are now in on it)...
I drove many years up and down fields in my Toyota fortuner. There is no rules to driving in the Philippines....cause no one follows the rules. The rule is the biggest vehicle has the right of way. 😂😂😂
when you negotiate ask for money and blame them because they will do that to and your best hope is to leave equal, dont ever offer anything because it will look like you are guilty. I've lived there and also been through alot there. They will always gang up on the foreigner so just stick with that they are at fault and owe you.
@nate s, i could write a book on this subject, but no one would believe this stuff could happen in the Philippines. Foreigners are targeted there, without a doubt, and having a Filipina wife does not exclude you. I have been a victim as have many of my expat mates. Cheers Nate.
Wow! I appreciate the advice and insight you shared. I’m retiring to the Philippines in several weeks and will purchase a car to drive at some point. Now I know to install dash cams and call the police if I encounter the same!
That's most happen almost in all small narrow road here in our country. Thanks for sharing by the way. hope that expirience wont affect your stay here in the Philippines.. Much respect for you!!!
They are lucky they hit you and not me. I would spend a few thousand dollars to make sure they paid for the accident, simply cause they tried to get money from ya. It would be to make a point, i have my morals and they have theirs.
The Video don't lie ! I hope they have laws there for protecting innocent people against this type of extortion! Thank You for posting this...I live in NY, I now think I will purchase a dashcam. Can you please share the make/model of that camera ? Very nice quality....sorry u had to deal w this Bulls***
please be calm. nobody got hurt is the main thing to remember; and you are getting to know the city better. all in all you have a great attitude and will go far that way. You are helping others with your video posting on youtube. The dash cam sealed it.Good job! Thats the American Spirit. No sense letting them get away with false accusations. Makes me think what would happen without the traffic cam evidence.
Good job at keeping your cool, following the proper protocols, being informed of the laws and having a dash cam! She was definitely at fault. I hope this video goes viral so that it can become a lesson for other drivers that try to even think about trying to pull this stunt. You should also get a dash cam for the rear of the car.

Wow I’m glad that the authorities treat the situation professionally. They could’ve easily just sided with the Filipino lady.
No they couldn't. He had proof. He was driving on a major road while they were on a minor road. Common sense you have to give the right away to vehicles on the major road unless there's a traffic signal or you had enough time to proceed safely but the vehicle on the major road sped up.
Sure they could of it’s called being corrupt. It happens all the time in foreign countries. You missed the point of my comment.

it will be the best investment you make.. takes away the he said she said arguments
First again YEAH BABY !!!!! You make a great case for never owning a Car in the Philippines...Demon Car !!!!
owning or car is highly advised there, imagine same accident sitting in the sideseat of a tricycle.
I agree after 16 years in Makati i still dont own a car. Just to crazy
I dont want a car here. A CANO renter next store parked his hable hable too far away from the curb, and s Filipino hit his bike,,, One of them got hurt, and they fined him for improper parking...his bike got impounded and he paid for the hospital bills and the other mans repair,,,
Grabcar is your friend.
If you have enough money to buy a car, why not hire a driver. Even filipinos with good paying jobs have their own drivers.
i'm pilipina but sorry its always like that in the Philippines they will extort you coz ur foreigner. Sorry ✌
indi nmn cgro lahat ga....
That's not always the case...

Kng sino bumangga sya ang mali. Period...
No you usually pay the police,,that's why carry two wallets, one very little money, with licence, second one you hide ,
Obviously they are running a scam. They probably have extorted several times from different victims. Please publish their names.
Probably how they got that expensive car, by scamming people.
I'm sure they go to a catholic church too every Sunday.
Thanks Philip for sharing that extortion, whew you are good on handling that problem! Seems like so many scammers in Philippines, that discouraged me going back to the Philippines .

Excellent coverage, Philly. Very important info to know. Since it was deemed their fault, did they have to pay for your damage?
If you got hit in the front, then maybe. But they hit you in the middle of the car, so they pulled out after you were half way past them.
Get tinted windows! Then they can't see that rich gringo!

They were at fault. Like Philo said great case for not owning a car there. When I get there next year I will rely on public transportation.
…and a great way to save money too
Ok goodluck for your safe visit PH

So what happened to them? Are they getting convicted of extortion? Are they paying for the damage to your care? Please complete the video comments.
I thought my Filipina wife was being overly cautious when she said I should not drive in the PI and that we needed strong window tints so that people could not even see a white passenger in the car. Your stories prove that she is not overly cautious. Thank you for posting this.
If it's not your fault and she's trying to extort you then don't be Mr Nice Guy this time.
@@woodpeckery Who said that he should punch her in the face?Never would I say to punch a woman or anyone in the face. Sure why make a big deal about being extorted. All I was trying to say is that he shouldn't split the cost like he did last time. So please don't put words into my mouth that I never said.
@@woodpeckery Of course I am going to object to using violence as that's not who I am and I guess that I should have explained myself further. Sorry if I came at you with the wrong attitude but I am not like those others who would hit a woman or anyone else. I had a new car for only four months when someone cut me off and caused lots of damage to it and I didn't once ever want to resort to violence because it's stupid. You are welcome my friend and again I apologize if I came at you in the wrong way. All I was thinking was that Brian was talking about the last accident that he had and that he was kind to them, which I would have been also, because of the problems that they were having. I just meant that no more doing that and that's where I was saying not to be a nice guy again. I want to thank you for your comments as they will help me to clarify myself next time. I just don't think that anyone should be nice to someone who tries to extort money from them.
@@woodpeckery I also have a soft spot for the Philippines as my wife is from there. I have family and friends who live there as well. Take care my friend and glad that we aren't screaming and yelling at each other.
I'm a personal injury lawyer in the USA Brian, this is why I will never drive there. Maybe if I move out into the actual mountains or countryside or small populated island, but just do not want this kind of problem. You always end up paying usually there, including the higher RICH FOREIGN GUY DISCOUNT .... not worth it. Rent a taxi or private driver with their own cars/minivans ......less freedom sure, but cheaper
So glad you have a dash camera to help prove your case
Hi Brian , I heard you talk about amazon..But I missed the Lot Lot show...Do u get Amazon here..or ordered from US? And do you get delivered by LBC or something else? thanks...I tried Lazada once..got wrong order..ugh
I ordered from Amazon from the states and never had a problem receiving anything. i have also ordered from Lazada and have never had a problem with them also.
Slim Jim:
She wasn't driving, the guy was. For majority of Filipinos the car is a GOD and in many cases bleesed by the priest. Anyway, GO GET THEM BRIAN !!
Brian, I wouldn't be surprised if the motorcycle wasn't on it. Sure looked like a set up. Lady did not know who she was messing with. It made a good video. Thanks.
You should sue her for extorction. So they learn a lesson.
It's very important to show situations like this and also when possible include video as you did (that way the viewing audience can see who may be at fault so we're not just taking the word of one over another based on preference). This is an excellent video and highly educational.
One question, why would they want to take a photo the driver's license/passport? Identify theft?
PS, Sup, now 20 mins outside Philly, formerly walking distance of Tony Luke's near Columbus Blvd 🤘
Sorry for what happened to you
Some people they don't know traffic sign and traffic rules.
They need to educate them about traffic rules.
Good point, I honestly would like to know if the LTO educates the Natives on driving rules.
WOW, over 1100 comments, that's impressive of itself. You definitely know the scam and good on you to hold your ground, especially since you were in the right. I would hope the police keep a record of those who try to extort so they can discourage the practice. Way to go Brian!!!!!
SELL THE DAMN DEMON CAR LMAO
Yeah I agree. Get a clean slate.
DON"T YOU DARE SELL THE DEMON CAR. what happens happen, whether you get a new one or not. that 'demon car' of yours is like a warrior's sword, full of battle scars. you'll just laugh reminiscing the journey you had together.
lol
Not a demon car perse but its the fact that he is a target.
Hey philly! As a United States Air Force security policemen I was certified as Major vehicle Traffic Accident Investigator. Lol sorry just so proud of that. Anyway I could have and have solved accidents like yours in less than minutes. It’s absolutely amazing and terrifying what you’ve had to go thru. I’m so scared to drive here even after I have driven in 17 different countries. Thank god you have your wife there and honest policemen handling things. Thanks for searing and stay strong. army strong! Lol
Great explanation for 2 reasons, 1 - Very detailed and affective 2. Quick - sometime your explanation of things is slow- Makes me rethink about coming for a visit or retirement when all I read about is how all (or many) orfthe locals try to rip off americans. Thanks
WOW! Is there a "Right of Way" enforced there? Well, If i decide to drive I will have a dashboard cam on..
Great view on the dash cam. What type of camera do you use?
When I retire there, I don't want to drive lol! any way congrats on your innocence once again!
Don't retire here you're asking for trouble.
Mr. Multo don't retire here, stay home, final warning, i'm going home, had enough here.
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 I've been going there every year for over 10 years now, plus I already have a place to stay. I know it's not for everybody but I have family there and I do know a lot about how things work in the PI, but I appreciate the tip!
Great video, good advice, you remained calm and objective throughout. Always good to wait for the proper authorities, regardless of outcome.
Sorry about the bump to your car but so long as no one was seriously hurt it's just a fender bender though the egos of the party at fault was deeply scratched.
You had the right of way. It's the other guy's fault. Are they going to pay the damage on your car?
What a brilliant video mate, you handled the situation so well and stayed so cool.. Not sure i would have stayed so cool, well done... Carl
American Philly Guy + Car = Target. Lose the car -it will happen again..
If it's happened to him five times now , he definitely needs to lose the car.
just tint the windows..a lot of cars like that in Angeles..Put a couple of local pinay decals on back window or bumper to throw them off
Maybe he could also have Lit get her license and do the driving.. might help
Sorry to hear that you had another accident. One problem that is attributed to this kind of accidents is the lack of "STOP" signs posted on logical areas of the streets. Almost all drivers there in PI don't know anything about right-of-way driving.
Lady in back seat name is Ms Pinocchio .😇
Thank God for traffic cameras. When you’re right, you’re right! Glad everything worked in your favor. Great job!
Uh, I think this happens everywhere, not just in PI.
And, my wife has taught me (since 1982), keep my mouth shut. I let her and my relative handle, with the police, and I keep out of it. Amor propio applies here in a major way. Defined as self-esteem, self-image, self-respect and other similar concepts, but it can also mean the bad side - self-pride, self-propagation, saving face. Meaning, public image is all that matters. Right or wrong. Good job on the dashcam. I have one in both my vehicles. Now, what are going to do with the 10K you saved. I suggest buying the wife something nice.
Sure it happens everywhere, and in some places the percentage of population that does it is higher than in others.
Accident fraud is much higher in Thailand.
exactly right man !!!
Hey Philly! Good stuff. A great case for keeping/maintaining a dashboard camera. Congrats on the win!
Brian, many viewers with Philippines experience will be able to relate to this incident. There is a bit of a misconception that ALL Filipino's are friendly but the reality is, you upset them
inadvertently and you will be the bad one. A crowd will gather around and will all be against you. The Americano is always at fault and they want your money, no matter how much you smile at them. Sorry and thankyou are not part of their vocabulary.
A few years ago a British friend rode on a Ceres bus from the Province to Cebu City. The conductor took his money but gave no ticket and no change. An inspector boarded along the way
and my friend explained why he had no ticket. A Filipina sitting nearby said to him, "You Americano's are always complaining". Can't win?
Hahaha I agree. I'm filipina but spent almost more than all my life abroad, and when I come visit the Philippines, everyone thinks I'm fully loaded including my own family. They expect me to pay for every get together at restaurant, outings etc. So each time I come for a visit i don't broadcast it, I hide hahaha.. I think it was because some pinoy who went and worked overseas come home extravagantly spend money, living like a one day millionaire, that made the pinoy locally became dependent and some of them became lazy to look for ways to find income.
@@wrinkelsecam9492 Not only Expat Pinoys do that, so do many Foreigner Expats including those who reside there also bragging in front of other expats and Filipino's
about how well off they are and we know how naive Pinoys are and when they hear the b/s from the boretons they mistakenly believe that all foreigners are rolling in money, have so much, and just give it away. These sort of people give the rest of us a bad reputation because we are all judged on the actions of the few braggarts.
Thanks for your comment. Bob. NZ.
Mudra Ma yes its the same almost everywhere they go on and on about how much more money is in other countries and how they are constantly struggling along with every sob story in the book. one of the main stories is of a family member thats sick and needs meds
Foreigners on buses alone need to be careful. Shortchanging is very common.
That's crazy man. Thanks for the warning.
It's funny! I met this Filipina online. Even saw her on video. I believe after 4 conversations she's asked me for 15 thousand pesos because her phone wasn't working. What's interesting about that. She always communicated with me on her phone. I asked her if your phone isn't working. How are you communicating with me. She said what I've noticed a'lot of filipinas say "Nevermind" and I told her no problem and I blocked her. Would you believe she made up another account to get in touch with me to tell me she was actually using her sisters phone. I told her she couldn't even lie straight! She did! When she founded out I started dating a Colombian Woman. She got pissed off!
@David Hendry this is UA-cam! Not Harvard University! Get a life!
@LEE KING SNATCH I'm a creep? Dude! Take a look at your name!!! Then ask yourself who's the real creep? Lol
@@whydoyouwanttoknow4464 haha i agree
This is a real education for us. Thank you for sharing. Five Times. My Lord.
BEST REASON EVER TO GET A CAR CAM
You clearly had the right away. Everybody knows if a foreigner gets into an accident, its automatically your fault. Filipinos have a hard time excepting responsibility for anything. Very unfortunate.
Man you gotta make a example out of one of them sooner or later. They got a target on you or something gang.
It’s good you stayed level headed and have everything Vlog. The balls that they have to take it all the way to the police station.
Hey Phill, Think you had a lucky escape. Looking at the video it was there fault but I think the motorcycle was in on it. Why would he stop, really how did he know it happened he was quite far ahead. I think these people do this as their job. Whatever, your not hurt that's the main thing. Time may be to ask yourself do I really need to drive lol, it all ended well.
Interesting comment that you think the motor cycle was in on it...Going to watch it again and see what the guy on the scooter was doing (and where he was exactly)...This is a popular scam in the States to work in tandem (several vehicles working to try and cause an accident so they can get insurance money for fake injuries and even crooked doctors are now in on it)...
@ s shlubb
Brian said he was blowing his horn, I’m not sure how the motorcycle could have had anything to do with it
Great job Brian. I'm glad it went your way.
I drove many years up and down fields in my Toyota fortuner. There is no rules to driving in the Philippines....cause no one follows the rules. The rule is the biggest vehicle has the right of way. 😂😂😂
Thank you --this was very educational to me.
Good job don't let these shithead's get to you
Thanks for sharing. What's the name brand and cost of your dash cam? Where did you get it?
when you negotiate ask for money and blame them because they will do that to and your best hope is to leave equal, dont ever offer anything because it will look like you are guilty. I've lived there and also been through alot there. They will always gang up on the foreigner so just stick with that they are at fault and owe you.
@nate s, i could write a book on this subject, but no one would believe this stuff could happen in the Philippines. Foreigners are targeted there, without a doubt, and having a Filipina wife does not exclude you. I have been a victim as have many of my expat mates. Cheers Nate.
Wow! I appreciate the advice and insight you shared. I’m retiring to the Philippines in several weeks and will purchase a car to drive at some point. Now I know to install dash cams and call the police if I encounter the same!
100% the gray car is definitely at fault.
That's most happen almost in all small narrow road here in our country. Thanks for sharing by the way. hope that expirience wont affect your stay here in the Philippines.. Much respect for you!!!
😂😂😂 MAYBE *THE MOM DiSTRACTED THE SON DRiVER* ... MAYBE THAT iS WHY SHE iS SO ANGRY! 😂
Great info. This video made me subscribe!
You should know that the one with the whitest skin is always in the wrong in the PI
Motorcycle was the blocker I bet the police investors will keep a few notes on that driver .
Be safe and as always good advice Brian
I WONDER HOW MANY WHITES SHE SCAMMED BEFORE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another good video.
Very interesting.
I'm really enjoying your channel.
They are lucky they hit you and not me. I would spend a few thousand dollars to make sure they paid for the accident, simply cause they tried to get money from ya. It would be to make a point, i have my morals and they have theirs.
The Video don't lie !
I hope they have laws there for protecting innocent people against this type of extortion!
Thank You for posting this...I live in NY, I now think I will purchase a dashcam.
Can you please share the make/model of that camera ? Very nice quality....sorry u had to deal w this Bulls***
Why anyone would drive in this country? Not worth it!
But I thought the people of the Philippines were the happiest, most cheerful, and friendly people anywhere on the planet !
They see you (American) and see a payday...
please be calm. nobody got hurt is the main thing to remember; and you are getting to know the city better. all in all you have a great attitude and will go far that way. You are helping others with your video posting on youtube. The dash cam sealed it.Good job! Thats the American Spirit. No sense letting them get away with false accusations. Makes me think what would happen without the traffic cam evidence.
I wonder what would happen if you didn't have a filipina wife or at least some other filipino to help you?
Lot has been great when it comes to problems or issues I have had here when it comes to other Filipinos.
