We are a Fil Am couple sharing our lives between living in Texas USA and Iloilo City on Panay Island Philippines. We share dealing with two different cultures, building our solid concrete cast in place home beach side and exploring/ seeking new things. We hope you enjoy and join to be part of a bigger family here on this channel.
Thank you for being apart of our channel and lives.
James and Melinda

I’ve followed Mike and Janet from the very beginning of their channels. Mike used an email of mine as the subject of one of his shows and the commentary he had was very helpful to me. Thanks to all of you for leading the way.
I came here for a month to have surgery and hang out at a friend's who was renting a house on the beach. Unfortunately, I met a Filipina the very 1st day 😂. We spent the whole 30 days together. After 3 ex-wives, I wrote off women for 9 years. I was blown away by how I was treated. I went back home and took 2.5 months to get rid of everything I didn't need and came back to the Philippines. 6 years later, our marriage has already outlasted the 3 previous combined.
Sounds like the x wife's straightened you out!😅😅😅
@dennish4603 Nope. I still have zero tolerance policy towards all women. I take zero female crap from my Asawa. In the Philippines I'm the prize and she knows it. Just sometimes I have to remind her that I know I'm the prize and can replace her in an instant. Whenever she tests me I Crack that whip and she falls right in line and goes right back to treating me like a King. Too many beta males come to the Philippines and spoil their Filipina. Don't ever westernize your Filipina. Western women are trash created by weak men. Weak men will also turn the Filipina dream girl into a trash western woman. Strong men, real men, know how to lead. Women want to be ruled. They crave it. Doesn't matter what comes out of their pie hole. Treat them good. Take care of them. Provide for them and rule them. Give them love and affection and keep them happy in the bedroom. But never let them lead in anything. You give a woman an inch and she'll take a mile. A woman is non stop testing her man. The second he gives in she just takes takes takes until she has zero respect for you. She will then replace you but before she let's you go she will strip you of everything till the last drop of blood because women are ruthless savage beings.

HI JAMES , Great video. MIKE and JANET are 2 of my favorite vloggers on UA-cam , as are you and MEL.
Today is WEDNESDAY here in USA as I watch this video. I had to speak to customer service on my credit card , so it went to a nice guy , I heard a little accent and YES he was a FILIPINO in a call center in ILOILO...
TY JAMES , love all your videos even your TEXAS ones.
Never worked fixing up a boat but enjoy those also , since am retired builder etc , absolutely enjoy those.
GOD BLESS CIAO

Thank you so much 😁
They seem like very nice people. Thank you for the links. God bless and stay safe.
We just left San Jose de Buenavista after visiting my wife's sister for 2 days. Did not have time to drive out to Las Conchas del Mar again this time. May on our next trip to Panay. 3rd time's a charm?
Enjoyed this James. A very nice couple. You are a good interviewer. You should do more.
Love these 2 guys. Mike an Janet are great.
Good evening James great video 📹 👍 been fan of your video three years now 😮thanks again for your video stay safe and have a great day 😊now living in the Philippines 🇵🇭 will meet one day soon 😊
Have followed Mike almost from the beginning. Mike is the real deal, a good old boy. And now with Janet, that’s icing on the cake. And he would say he truly is blessed because of it. Excellent video James,Glad you got to spend some time With each other. The both of you as bloggers are examples of how it should be done.
funny as all get out, enjoying both you and mike/Janet with this vlog...
Awesome video!!! Watching from Jacksonville Florida USA 🇺🇸 Stay safe 🙏💕🥰🇺🇸
Grateful for your interview
I found your channel thought I would give it a try and was impressed, I'm retired living in Inopacan Leyte been here for a couple of years now
Hi Jame I live in General Trias. Not too far from Manila, I enjoy your contents as well as Mike's channel and a few of the others
Great video James! I also follow Mike and I like his easy going presentation style even when dealing with difficult subjects. For me the moral of the story is to stay out of expat PI drama :).
Keep up the great work James!
Great content James
Honda had that iconic slogan “You meet the nicest people on a Honda”. How about “You meet the nicest people in the Philippines”. Three of them right there. 😊
That is funny , I remember that
Ill check out his channel
On a regular basis as far as the Philippines i only Wacth you and Philly n the Philippines
really like wha you guys are doing.
Mike's wife is so very very BEAutiful
What Mike said at 17:00 is so true! The friends you make/meet doing UA-cam or like many of us just watching and commenting. I’m one of their regulars and there are a few of us there sometimes we’ll be chatting to each other in the comments while Mike and Janet are live streaming.
I've watched both of their channels. I've released a few videos just to let people in the group know who I was. I got attached to the people I met here lol. Our next trip is this Christmas if you and Mel are free we have enough room to have you. Just not much budget to travel to you yet. Still buying stuff to finish the house now, you know how it is. It's always a project. Keep at it brother and someday we can visit each other 👍
Thank you very much

Keep it rolling Cuz, watched a couple of Mikes videos. It's nice to see others that aren't "dependent" on views to fund their lives. Just good to see reality instead of a "show". Thanks again for sharing. Good people all around....
Appreciate that
Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see that you support each other, others fly to each others throots
When Mike had you on his channel, awhile back, that led me to your channel. When my new Bride and I went to Dumaguete to meet Mike, Janet, Paul (Mae was busy), Greg and Wilma, we booked our stay at the Bricks Hotel, because of you. 👍
Some really great friends, now.
Hopefully some day I’ll have the pleasure to shake your hand, too, James?
It was great watching Mike and Janet hanging out on your spread. I’ve watched since last year, and the territory was familiar 😂🤣
Birds of a feather. Great to see the more sober vloggers out there meeting up. Stick with it guys. I enjoy both of yr content. 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Love both your channels. My reason for wanting to move to Iloilo is the culture, the people and the lifestyle. It's not just about the lower cost of living. And of course, the beautiful Filipina I'm engaged to!
Go for it!
James, i started watching your channel for PH lifestyle but its the construction lessons i really appreciate now.....im learning
Thank a lot my friend!
You are a pro at this intro editing. Pics of visitors and the speed. Perfect intro. I like how you're mixing it up. That's a lot of work time adding all that up.
Thanks so much! It does take time but I enjoy it
From James to another James awesome video buddy both you guys are great really enjoyed the interview
Really good interview, James.
Mike & Janet are really nice couple. Hope the dry season ends soon. It really rain a lot while I was in Mindanao.
I hope so too! Thanks for the compliment
James, I pretty much watch your Chanel, Mike's Chanel, Paul the Old Dogg and many more other Expats settling here in the Philippines. You all share great contents that I do enjoy watching and learning the same time. More power to your upcoming Vlogs. You all take care and stay safe. Enjoy Life here in the Philippines. 🤠

Good note, my show is on! Let's roll James! "Texas Filipino!"
A new subscriber

I guess they’re working the circuit. LOL. Next time we’re in the Philippines as we will be building in Darwin would probably like to stay at your place for a few days while we check out Bacolod and IloIlo
Oooh that's my sister! 😅😅😅
Good show, but be careful and don’t interrupt each other. Let the interviewer finish their sentence. Otherwise, everything is okay.
Oh! I miss Dumaguete City where I took my HighSchool at Silliman University. Stayed at Channon Hall. I always eat at Silliman Canteen and charge to my mother. It was her agreement with d Manager, she don't send me money thinking I might spend it with my friends😅
GREAT SHARE, I love reading these stories

@@TexasFilipino That got it! Thank you sir.

Lol, theses guys are a hoot
James it's a false narrative you're making they're spending money you plan for this they did not
WHAT? " it's a false narrative you're making " "they're spending money" " you plan for this" "they did not" can you break these down for me kindly. I did not realize I'm making any narrative as it's him telling his story not me.
