    Hey Calvin my friend, you are 100% correct. I will be marrying my Filipina fiancée and settling down in the Philippines. I have been saving for the last 25 years. I am tired of the rat race here in the United States. When I visited the Philippines for the first time, I knew that this were I wanted to retire, and live a nice happy peaceful life. Thank you for sharing this awesome video. Stay safe and healthy my friend and God bless you and your family always.😊 😊 😊 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

    Hi Calvin, your video couldn't have come at a better time, got pulled into a political conversation with a family member yesterday which was emotionally draining and unproductive. Once the Phillipines opens up for travel there is going to be quite a few of your viewers traveling there I believe. You are doing a great job educating me and others about the Phillipine culture and alot of other important aspects to remain respectful and appreciative of that privilege. You are a great ambassador to the Phillipines. Looking forward to your interview with John! Heard you mention him a few times I'm sure he's a "good guy" too.

    Calvin, I really enjoy your vlog and your message, and I like how you finally got out of the house and went to the beach to show us a part of what you love. But, my question is about your diet and exercise regimen as an older man. What have you done to get in shape and stay in shape while in the PH? The passing years and my laziness have made me soft, and you have inspired me to get back at it again.

    8:01 - I like how you said, *"I haven't had an argument in 3 years!"* - I completely agree. I lived in Japan for 5+ years. I never had an argument with a Japanese person. I had peace of mind. But ironically, while in Japan, I was reeled into pointless arguments and debates by other foreigners (usually foreigners from Western countries). Anyway, a lot of Asian cultures just like to have "socially harmony."

    Sir Calvin, for the person who does not know how long the want to stay, getting an ongoing ticket can be cheaper than buying a RT ticket. The airlines at your port of departure is responsible for making sure you are leaving the Philippines (aka ongoing ticket). They don’t care where you go. I’ve gotten tickets to Singapore for $50. Compute the price. It can be cheaper than a round trip ticket, especially if you don’t use the other half. Or buy them a refundable ticket. Again going any place. Show them that then cancel after you land. There are ways to make one way ti kets cheap.

    I mean this in the best way possible for everyone. Ignorance is bliss. The happiest I ever was in my life, was as a young soldier in Germany. I had enough money, a place to sleep, eat, and relax. I could pack everything I owned in two bags and be gone in a few hours. However, the most enjoyable factor of my time there, was detachment from the everyday life. I could freely choose to enjoy the best of Germany, with no need to struggle to survive. I had all the benefits and no deficits.

    Calvin, you are so correct about people all in your business as you know I have the same style of haircut, clean shaving face too. Only exceptions is I am age 58. Plus we are both military veterans. I know Calvin some of these people may think you are putting down America. They do not know actually, you are like a ambassador for America, helping people in the Philippines. Showing that it is free as a American not to be afraid and live anywhere on earth. Your articles are like college courses teaching masses of people. Many other blog sites be trying to inflate prices like in example, you will need like three and four thousand ($3,000 and $4,000) to leave comfortable in the Philippines. So, I am glad you put reality check and tell them a standard of one thousand ($1,000) or more a month to get you comfortable in the Philippines. I said to myself they are trying to prevent certain people from coming to the Philippines by scaring them off. Finally, thanks for the advice of helping others and so great you help more less fortunate in the Philippines brother Calvin.

    When you start going bald its better to shave it all.... let the man have his peace. I shaved all my hair too because I have some mreceding hairline, today this girl called me bald, I don't give a crap.

      spot on bro , Filipina’s have so many ways to be beautiful, their kindness , that sexy voice , they care so much , becareful in the Philippines the man that chases the women for only their looks , have ended broke , kicked to the curb or worse death , you really don’t want to hook up with the wrong women

      @@mikejones5364 “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” I think you’ll find that the definition of beautiful is vastly different from one person to the next. I was merely trying to point out that beauty comes from the character and attitude of a person (for some) as much as it does from their outer appearance, what you consider to be beautiful may not be beautiful to the next person. All I know for sure is I’m married to the most beautiful woman on earth. I genuinely believe that with all my heart. I see a model on the cover of a magazine or any other woman’s beauty to not even come close to my asawa.

      There is a way for foreigners to buy land...you can become a filipino naturalized citizen. But it takes like 10 years and you must renounce your native country citizenship so most expats don't do it.

    Hey Calvin! Thanks for another informative video. I'm in the middle of the rat race, I'm looking forward to getting out. America is so divided and as you say, they worry about the most insignificant b.s. Little things like holding a door open for a woman can be offensive to some. But the women there are what's holding me back. I just don't trust them. Thank you for opening my eyes.
