Jay I’m from California and I travel to the Philippines with my wife, she is from dumaguete. I watch your videos and admire you brother. You have a beautiful family and you inspire me to keep working hard to make my dreams come to and that’s to live in the Philippines, my wife and I decided to go back and forward, we love the Philippines, I also love my country USA but the Philippines is my second home and your not alone brother keep up the good work, and wish you the best
Hey John!! 👋 man, I appreciate your message very much! That's awesome to hear from you, great comment. It ain't easy, you know. It's always a fight. Few can manage it. Stay strong , hope to talk more and hear from you again. I'll remember the name. Take care buddy. Jay
this is the kind of vlog that rarely comes and survive on UA-cam, but this is also one of the few, rare authentic videos that common people wants to watch.
Agree, I've seen many come and go over the years. As much fun as it is to grow and make videos, at some point it has to become a little bit business. So much time and energy and skills involved. Those who don't burn out. We taking it slow, want a great base of subscribers who care. We care and want a great family quality subscribers. We feel we are attracting the right people. Thank you Bakerguy!! Appreciate you! 😊 jay
@@jaysphilippines just do what makes and keeps you growing and going on this channel, and hope evolve your channel like your wife can alternate your videos on cooking Filipino dishes and introduce it to your families, friends or even community, sometimes it's hard and mind draining to cone up with topics, just a suggestion.
@@BakerGuy-pc9lu thank you, I've got a million titles, lol they require me to be in philippines more. Thats when I think it will get interesting. Be back in 2-3 months for another 3 month visit. Going to try and build something this fall in dumaguete. Appreciate you, and I always like suggestions.
I work on cars for a living I realized after years of working on them new cars do nothing for me and I was the guy who wanted a Porsche then after a trip to the Philippines found out quick experiences and knowing new people is way better then a new car, cars don't matter to me trying fixing them for 20 plus years it gets old really quick
@@amigo2k10 I could imagine. Luckily I've had a few good ones. There is a time for them. Probably all in the past now, I just want things in philippines. Not much here matters anymore. Hope your well, glad you know the truth about Philippines. Jay
There’s a lot more that is very hard to get used to that no one talks about. I found my happiness in Vietnam. So much more organized and peaceful, and amazingly friendly helpful people. I chose an amazing beautiful beach smaller city and everything is so much easier. Dating is as wonderful
@@koufax174 we will do visits to Vietnam for sure in time. Little gets a little bigger, love to learn that country also. Appreciate you, hope your well and glad you found your spot, of happiness. Jay
Hey Jay! Nice video! To anyone reading this post, Jay is right. Stop thinking about traveling to the Philippines and get over there if you haven't done so already. You need to experience it firsthand. I made my first trip in 2023 and second earlier this year. I plan on making at least two more recon trips before moving there in 2026. When I first got there for the first time, I loved everything about the Philippines; the sounds, smells, people, heat, tropical beauty, hustle and bustle of the motorbikes and tricycles and so on. The negative aspects that people talk about were not negative to me. The heat, the rain, barking dogs, roosters, Karaoke at all hours of the day and night. It is all part of the Philippines. I have a busy life here and only slightly stressful. I felt very relaxed and stress free the entire time I was there. It is not for everyone but go there and begin experiencing what the Philippines has to offer. More than likely, you won't be disappointed.
@@4302arod Mr.Arod! Great message buddy. I always try to imagine there is 1 or 2 newbies out there just watching a little bit. They might catch that bug and take a chance. Hope your doing well down there. Heat isn't letting up anytime soon I don't think. We just deal with it. We are heading back in Oct, see what we can do better this time around. We will be there alot over next 6-8 months. When you taking next recon? I forgot what you told me if this year or next?
@@jaysphilippines I plan on going back sometime in January or February. If you are there, maybe we can meet up. By the way, it is definitely hot here and will be for several months. I am in Corpus Christi, Texas and we are about to get hit by a hurricane tomorrow night. It should be a Cat 1 so not too powerful and it will make landfall just north of here. Lucky for us.
Your daughter is precious.😊😊😊 the amount of joy she will bring can not be measured. Interesting your better half ready for Alaska keeping out of the son. 😅😅😅 channel refreshing change. Enjoy it.
Sun is her enemy, 😆 she doesn't like it at all, or getting dark. I love both. Thank you for compliment on daughter, she is my strength. Thank you Tony!
Thank you for your comments Miriam!! It means alot to us over here. Philippines is always in our hearts and soon we will be living in both places equally. Jay
Another good video guys. Jay I know a few older men here that don’t want to be married so they get a ya ya cost under a $100 a month living in their house dose shopping house keeping takes care of everything perfect a lot better than living in age care homes in your own country. Cheers 🍻 mate
I will always tell the guys get over here to finish last years if family isn't involved at home. Much better way to go for sure. Hope your well and appreciate you!
Sitting here watching soccer…can’t help but immediately watch when you post my brother! I love that Kieri is rocking your YT channel t-shirt! 🫰🏻I want some Jay’s swag?! 😂
@@Plant_Traced hey buddy, watched instead of ⚽️, that's a compliment right there. ✅️ appreciate you. Yeah, the business side of me is starting to think, 😆. Yeah, don't be surprised to see some new things soon. I'll send you something down soon as I come up with some stuff. Hope your team won.
Thank you Iteliano! 😊 glad to hear that. 4th isn't that much fun really. Alot of work. 😆 kieri had a great time though. So, was worth it.. hope you are doing well buddy! Talk again soon. Jay
Hi Jay, What a wonderful blend of old and new families . God can do it all. Don't worry about what you should do in your videos. Your hitting the mark ! Keep doing what your doing. God Bless your families !
@@brittbrittingham9871 hello Britt! We are trying. Thinking we might be ready soon for fulltime vlogs. Lol 😆 hope so, it ain't easy. But idelyn is enjoying it now equally with me. Be back in Phil's soon enough. Already getting excited. Glad to hear from you, hope your well! Jay idelyn kieri
Belated Happy 4th of July 🎉🇺🇲.nice simple celebration! Tha children (boys) on your video looks having the same haircuts Lovely birthday boy..Happy 1st birthdays🎉🎂🥳 Continuous connection with you love once on both side of the word is essential, as you have mentioned the importance. Building relationships people in your surroundings i believe important as well. Those are the people who will help you when critical time comes. Job well done guys with that small cabin/house.👍 Pretty girl 🌹
@@robadventure8007 hello Rob, always great to hear from you, thank you for all that message. Wow, very appreciated. Yes, it is tricky figuring times and locations for all things. About time to head back to Phil's and really grow this channel and make some new memories. So glad your with us, hope you are surviving summer and doing well. Jay idelyn kieri
Good morning HCorps! Hope your doing well. Yes, I do have some pretty strong tools. It would take alot longer if I had to nail each one with a hammer. 😆 power tools are the way.
Your videos have a really unique flavor to them. I think it's largely that your wife is editing the videos. Like a yin yang thing going on, very unique!!
Hey Jay. Great Video. Your missus does a great job on the editing. It's great to see that you and your ex wife have a respectful relationship. It was refreshing to see.
Hello buddy! Hope your well. Yeah, the ex wife and me aren't in each other's presence in 15 years. Lol 😆 long battle. Wife is getting good with editing. Appreciate you! Jay
Thank you Cristina for the great suggestion! Planting rosemary, lavender, lemongrass, mosquito plants, and eucalyptus trees sounds like a natural and effective way to keep mosquitoes away. I'll definitely consider adding these to our garden. Thanks for sharing, stay connected! - Jay
Oh, you are back. lol. i have talked alot about Ky. I made several videos about home life here. Got to catch up again. :) hope you been well mr. tony.... jay
New sub here, I really enjoy your channel. 40 yo American guy, and have decided against marriage in the West because of the feminist movement and high divorce rate. But after researching the woman in the Philippines for only 2 weeks, I'm sold on the idea of visiting and possibly moving there for a woman with traditional values and a simple life. I just started a youtube channel and hoping to get monetized at some point. You think a guy could make a living off of youtube and live in the Philippines? Cheers Jay!
Great decision buddy. Highly suggest that's probably best route. It ain't easy. But most likely the rewards and fruit will come from the effort. Stay safe, stay in touch. Jay
hello Mr. Larry, you're so right, dreams and plans are just the beginning, but taking action is what really makes things happen. Getting on that plane is the first step to making those dreams come true. Thanks for the great reminder. - jay
