      Scott, still thinking about women born into poverty around the world and using their personal assets to make their and their children's live better. Everyone learns to play their best hand in the card game of life.
      For single women in Angeles City the odds they have only what they have inherited from their parents; personality, IQ, appearance. Your are correct in your explanation of why attractive women swap their current life for a new wife with a retired American. They are playing the best hand.
      If I was a young female, lived in the Philippines and born with the looks, desirable to single American men living the Philippines, I would consider swapping my looks for a better life in the US, and return to visit and send money by to my family that is still n the Philippines.

But seriously, if you want to change a life, just teach them how to buy and sell food in the streets and how to save money and what to invest in (house and easy to do businesses like food carts). I've changed a few lives telling people this and it's a great feeling (makes life better and interesting).

    Bro, I was born to a black Navy father and a bar girl Filipina mother from Angeles city. I appreciate my father more these days because he did the taboo thing by marrying a woman he should NOT have. They inevitably divorced once in the US. But imagine if he didn’t do that. Me and my sister would be those unfortunate souls with not much in life. I Count my blessings everyday.

      That is the one thing that hit me hard when I first traveled to the Philippines. Was the poverty and begging children. Alot has to be done but the people are going have to learn as well. They cannot be supported forever. It is that old saying give a man a fish he is hungry the next day. Teach a man to fish he will feed himself forever. Getting the country out of poverty will take one or two generations of work, skills training, long term investment that is not embezzled by some corrupt offical. Then one generation shoulders up the next to upward and forward.

We enjoy people watching with that proverbial cup of coffee in our hands, we are definitely smug in that sense but hey!!..we 've worked hard for that 'privilage' after all. The secret is to help when you can, you can never change the mindset of the locals in these poor areas/countries. Just show respect and appreciate their problems in life. Your content here is very thought provoking and its the reality of the situation. We should all count our blessings despite our gripes in life.

    You do a great job of explaining how these underprivileged people are doing the best that they can do with the life that they have been given. They do not have the opportunities that westerners have. School for us is a given, it is taken for granted. It is often unappreciated. School for them is a dream, often not obtainable due to their living situation.

We seem to really go for the same kind people and see them as it really is, and how impossible it is for them to make any upward mobility with all that’s stacked against them. And still they’re so nice. Hope to be going back this winter, you’ve given me several suggestions of new places to visit. Thanks, keep up the good work

    I think you gave the hooker good advice to tell her daughter to give compliment if expat gives money. In the USA I regularly see kids used to raise money. Case in point a commercial showing kids with cancer and ask for monthly donation to cancer hospital. Another is organization that helps kids with disabilities and uses the kids stories to raise funds for treatment. Both are noble and helpful to kids in need of medical treatments that their parents can't afford to pay. The mom just wants to keep her daughter and herself alive in a tough situation. A few buck donation for rice is LIFE to Filipinos.

It is a liberal myth that rich people pay less. Now local taxes are a different story. Sales taxes are regressive and impact lower income people.

    Scotty, part of my life was hiring and managing high school and college age kids working in retail. I told their parents and others, that working retail is the best part time job for high school and college children.
    These young adults will become more assertive and confident in their dealings with other people throughout their lives.
    For the folks I managed, I asked them, "Try not to have a child or get into debt until they have found a career they like, and with earnings enough for supporting you, your child, your spouse with food, shelter, transportation, life expenses!"
    I continued telling them, "Life is like a card game with every other person on the planet. You will be playing the game with only the cards you were dealt at birth, your additions to your hand will be through wisdom, schooling, training. But, unlike other card games, you can see everyone's cards and can change tables until you find a table that you can win. Over time, with wisdom, you will get even better winning."
    "In summary, I told them, everyone is dealt (DNA) genetic skills and you goal is to find a career that fits your skillset and when you find it, your will work will become like play, but you are also getting paid!"

    No, that h00ker just felt uncomfortable because you saw her at work leaving with this guy. Indeed, she feels perfectly unbothered doing what she does in front of perfect strangers, but YOU were not a stranger to her anymore cause you knew her and her daughter. So, she kept thinking about what you thought of her (judgment), seeing her leaving with him (AND WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE). She was just ashamed.

    Hi Scotty Boy, I enjoyed your story, true to life and whatever we/you do, to some, it is never the correct thing. I think you are on to something when it comes on how to help without just throwing money at them. In regards to the hooker lady, how about if you would have taken her and her daughter to MCD and maybe talked to her a bit? The kid would have gotten something to eat and you would have had time to get her attention. You could have told her that she should say thank you and smile and maybe have the girl wave and smile. Maybe you could have offered her to teach the kid 2-3 hours a week and tell her to get other moms in the same situation to bring their kids. I know this would become a bigger task but man, that would make you feel so good that it is worth it.
    I travel a lot and always try to help. However, most of the time I am only somewhere for a couple of weeks, not enough time to make a difference. Nevertheless, I try to talk to them and see if there is a way to help. However, many times they look at you like you are from Mars and don't understand that you just want to help or give advice without requesting something in return. Just keep trying and make the world a bit better day by day. Each little gesture will help somebody.

    You are on point in this video (apologies for the long comment). Sad to say but this is the world we are living right now. Those half half children with no father, there's too many of them, my sympathy goes to them. Growing up in poverty is not easy, but this are all preventable. If only both parties are responsible enough non of this will happen.
    Your tax topic in this vid, you as a Canadian understand where the tax go. Usually hard working people here in Canada are the ones being tax more. Canada is a good place to live in terms of health care. What annoys me, how the government pamper the homeless (not all homeless people have the same circumstances), but most of them they just prefer not to work and beg and wait from the monthly support from the government, im talking about young, healthy individuals who are capable of working but prefer not to work instead use the government money to get drunk and be an addict. I see it first hand at work. They are the most asshole/bitches patient ever. They think they are entitled to everything, free food, free accommodation , free everything. If only the government will let them do some volunteer jobs in exchange with the money they get monthly, it wouldn't be so bad.
    Homelessness in Phils and in Canada is way different. In Phils its mainly because of poverty, unemployment and lack of education. here in Canada is mostly laziness . But if they choose to better their life there is always a way for improvement.
    Lastly, ur diabetes comment. People dont get diabetes just because they mainly eat sugary/carb food (but it does contribute.)
    Ethnicity is a factor. Me as an Asian is more likely to develop the disease even at lower BMI (body mass index). Higher risk because Asian are likely to have less muscle and more abdominal fat which increase insulin resistance.
    Also due to certain diet and lifestyle trends.
    * less physical activity because of modernization/urbanization
    *smoking (i dont smoke nor drink alcohol)
    *eating rice ;) (i eat rice 3x a day sometimes more since I was a child)
    *poor nutrition (if mom got preggo means that the baby will likely to have high blood sugar).
    As for me I mentioned to u last time that I was at the border line of being diabetic and tried to change diet but the result of my last blood work confirmed that I am diabetic, i touched the line :). Now in medication and strict diet trying to reverse since I dont feel like poking my self with needle for the rest of my life.

      Sadly taxes can be wasted on people that are lazy but I have seen families that truly need help and get it. One I know has a special needs child, who is an absolute beautiful person, and they get some help. Anyway, take care

      I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I say its permanent since the beta cell has been damaged already but with medication and strict diet the glucose level can return to non diabetes range ( complete remission) or pre diabetes glucose level (partial remission). I need to loose weight to achieve it. Im not obese though just gained few extra pounds. I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my twin girls and i guess it did not go away.

    In one of my stays in Angeles City I was seeing a girl that lived on New York Street. This kid was on his scooter with of course the muffler cut out of it. He kept racing up and down the street for at least 20 minutes. I call them over and ask them why he took off the muffler. He said because his little scooter would sound like a large Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I just couldn't argue with that logic. I offered him 100 pesos to go down another Street and continue with his annoying racing. He obliged and my headache went away.

    Your prostitute story was very interesting. I used to run a call center in one of the Visayan islands. I won't say where. After late night hours, I usually visit a fake massage pallor which was really a place to find and hire a prostitute for the night. I still remember always picking up a young girl who kept smiling at me every time I go back to that place. Something about her just made me feel good about myself. After sex, we would do small talk. I asked her why does she do what she does. She says that she puts food on the table for her family and she has a daughter to take care of. I asked her if her family knows what she does. She said no they don't. I just tell them that I work at a call center during late nights. That's why they never questioned her on what she does. She seemed very smart and well versed in English.
    When I return home I would stay in Manila for a few days. I for one cannot stand Manila. There are too many kids on the streets begging for money which just breaks my heart. But every time I see these kids begging for money I still remember the young prostitute that I've hired.It always gave me a sense of gratitude that the money I paid helped her to stay out of the streets and placed food on the table for her family. This was one way of me coping with the harsh reality of the poverty in the Philippines.

    It would be fascinating if you got the kit from 23andme and the kit from ancestry, and basically sent the kid's DNA to the two services, and then did a video on the results.. could have the potential to produce interesting results, ESPECIALLY if the father or the father's direct family (parents, siblings, or children) had happened to try one of those services. I think those two services actually provide a way to reach out to family members found through them.

    The Phils wasn't my first time being submerged in poverty. Mexico was. Interesting similarities though. I have never understood quite why with the impoverished nations, no one shows any generosity , or gratitude. Some examples: You hear some great live music and you are almost leaping out of your chair to applaud. You look around and nobody is even clapping. In fact most did their usual scream talk through the whole performance. I put my sister in law through College and not a word of thanks until I pointed her ingratitude out to my wife. They don't seem to care about anyone there except immediate family. I was scolded by my landlord for tipping the maids because "They will expect it from everyone". The thing that got to me the most though is those suffering dogs in cages. My daughter was born there but we left when she was a year old. Having grown up in Canada, she could not ignore the suffering cats and dogs on a return visit this year. She was 10 and started pleading with me to return home ahead of schedule. She will never return to her birth place. She just could not handle the animal cruelty.

      The dollar is strong because we export inflation buffering domestic prices. Think third world immigrants sending American dollars back home creates demand for the dollar.

Taxes are fine if they are kept low but most go into the military industrial complex and other things that don't help. I rather have a billionaire buy an exotic sports car (will pay taxes on it, pay commission to the car salesman, will pay annual insurance to insure it, will give business to a car mechanic, will give business to a gas station etc) rather than the government take that amount in punitive taxes to build a single missile to shoot down a balloon or worse a bunch of poor people.

    While I don't agree with Burnie Sanders thoughts to the extent he does, I do see it fundamentally wrong that some of the rich have been thriving with absurd gains annually while the middle class while the middle class is doing worse. A system that allows the super-rich to pay the least amount of taxes if they pay any at all is a broken system. For the past 20 years, my annual pay raises have been about 1% on average, while the VIP's head managers, CEO's are getting record pay raises. Year after year, my spendable income is reduced yet the super-rich are richer than ever. Trump dropped the tax rate a few years ago for corporate America and the words from his lips said it will allow corporations to give larger pay raises and increase benefits! Many just bought their own stock, did NOTHING for their employees, making the stockholders benefit as well as the leadership who also get stock bonus's. I'm not left, I'm not right; I'm just a Regular Guy in the Rat Race who sees a broken system only getting worse. My company has gone as far as removing all insurance coverage; you can 'buy' what you wish through them at a discounted cost, but they don't supplement a penny. They removed all holidays and vacation time. Yes, you can 'buy' days off, including Christmas, New Year's, etc. How can they do this? Because they are a DOD contractor overseas. Yes, got to love the future. We also have a mess with the medical costs in America. The costs for medications is absurd to the point where people are bussed to Canada to make quarterly prescription runs. Corporate America tries all they can to make this illegal, but as long as the supply of prescriptions is limited to 90 days, it is legal. All this mess might cause some to vacate American and move elsewhere like the Philippines. Only wanted to give feedback on how perhaps the rich are not equally taxed in America.
