  • 31 YEARS LATER MY FILIPINA WIFE RETURN HOME TO WHERE SHE WAS RAISED AS A YOUNG GIRL #travel #entertainment #lifestyle
    We took a two day trip to the Island of Socorro where my Filipina wife was born. She left the island at the age of eight and has never returned until this trip. It was an amazing trip and we showed up during their yearly fiesta. It was fun to meet all of her relatives and enjoy the local traditions and see the smiling faces of the locals. All I can say is ..we shall return in the future.
    In the eastern part of the Bucas Grande Island lies the municipality of Socorro. Its people are vigorous and hard working. The main products of this town are coconut and rice. Its people are chiefly dependent on these products and on fishing for their livelihood.

    My wife came to the US to live with me in 2012 and we decided a couple of years later to retire here and build a house on her property. Although she loved the US her heart was back in the province. Best move I ever made. Turned 62 and I was out of there. We have mangroves from the edge of our backyard to the sea

    Brian and family, You are blessed to be in one of those most special spots in the world with your family living what we all crave to see. As soon as this house sells I am out of here for good. I will make a life there and want to know that part of the world. Ever since I grew up living between two Filipino families and their stories of how lovely it is there and at that time learning Tagalog from them I knew I was bound to be there even though I started 10 years ago between COVID deaths divorced and health issues lifes moments now at 64 I am going to there live the rest of what time I have. Good thing the family has longevity in the late 90's even with health issues. I can be happy even if it's a struggle. I have watched your channel for as long as I heard of you by Philo. you and your family be safe and God bless you.

    Wonder if lut is connecting with old classmates.
    The ' classmate ', system here in the Philippines is a major thing.
    Even going all the way back to kinder.
    Even if folk have been away for decades,the chance for a reunion celebration is always popular!!
    Lut, would of course be ' high status' having captured a foreigner! Lol

She was showing her grandma, I made some stupid crack, trying to just be funny, about how that's why her mom doesn't smile, her grandma doesn't. Someone got an attitude with me over it, but I was only joking. I hope I didn't make Lot mad. Keep the great content coming, my friend.

It seems that there is a selfie station everywhere 👍. They really know how to decorate for their fiesta. I'm sure that going to this fiesta, will be a great time. I'm sure that it will be an emotional time for lot, coming home after 31 years. I look forward to seeing all of your adventures there in Socorro island. Thank you Brian my dear friend for sharing this awesome video. Please stay safe and healthy, and God bless you, lot, Borges, Miguel, Hannah grace, Bing Bing(Sam), Adrian, Chubbs, Reynalyn, Reynalyn's daughter, and the rest of your beautiful family.
