Thanks Mike. Approximately 1,300 kids in two days. It seems a lot of subscribers appreciate us both for similar reasons. Like not stooping to content about how easy Filipina dating is or how relationships are. I have purposely stayed away from Walking street videos and all that drama. Much respect my friend.
@@ThatPhilippinesLife Hi neighbor, I am part Canuck my grandmother was Canadian. I have cousins over there near the Bluewater bridge. I am in Detroit area. I really enjoyed your video on Bataan It has been many years since I’ve been there and they made a lot of improvement for tourism. I am one of your subscribers. I have many family and friends in that area, mostly pastors and Christian brothers and sisters but the last mission trip I went to before I had my heart surgery was in Cebu and Mindaway
I am planning to do a UA-cam channel about the old days and different things that has happened in my life and ministry. You won’t believe some of the things that I seen 30th something years ago and even now God is on the move so many ways thank you man for the excellent, sharing
My 2 favorites together. Love your vlogs, you guys motivate me. 2 more years and I'll be apart of expats club. Wish I could be there now my Philippine friends keep trying to drag me over there but need to plan carefully with finances before retiring. Its been quite the typhoon season this year I got back home just as typhoon season started. Hoping to come back and visit in the spring.
As i near retirement, and look to find a life that makes sense abroad, your videos stand out the most of all the UA-cam I watch. Thanks for the blueprint. It would be cool to chat over coffee when i arrive in the Philippines
@Ex-Pensive_Expat God willing, im looking at late summer. I'd love to get some insight from you about a good landing spot. Maybe I can reach out when the time gets near. Thanks for making solid content!
Great video mate I ended up renting a 2 bedroom unit in liloan cebu for 5k just need to spend about 3k peso on paint, new lock and a shower. Its really comfortable for me and my gf Keep up the great work
Thank you guys for doing this video I really appreciate everything you’re saying on how simple it is to find a place and make it in the Philippine thank you for informing those who don’t know
Wow, two of my favorite influencers together. Thank you, guys, for all the positives living in the Philippines. Can't wait to retire and join you guys. Love and Aloha from Hawaii
@Ex-Pensive_Expat Darrell, my wife, Carla, and I are actually vacationing to the Philippines. We arrive in Manila on Thursday night. We'll be stopping in Angeles the following week on our way to Baguio.
Awesome. I'm glad you two guys did a video together. You've both been inspiring to me an my Filipina gf. We live (try to live) in San Diego and will retire in the Philippines in 5 years.
Fantastic vlog man! Awesome seeing two visionaries hanging out together, you guys are so inspiring and I really appreciate everything you guys Vlog about. Thank you.
I felt lucky he had the time. I know I have subscribers who wouldn't know him but would benefit greatly by getting to know him and his channel. For That I am truly grateful
Hi Darryl, I guess we've both been busy. I've been settled here in Baguio since September. Looks like you're enjoying the beach life during the cool months. I have a long-term lease now so I won't be needing to find a place to renovate. I think it is a good model to keep busy and keep the skills fresh as well as get a good deal and help the owner also. I understand how you appreciate Mike's channel, he is an exceptional vlogger, I imagine it's difficult for him to get the time to go different places since he's also running that bar. Excellent ambition
Yes my friend!! He's a very genuine person. In this video I think people will get to know him a little better. I know I did. The reason I watch his channel often as part of my routine, is because I felt he was vlogging the real life here. I watch the new in the US when I'm waking up having my coffee. After that is then I consider my UA-cam work schedule. I'll see if he has a video that get's my mind set off what ever was in the news of the day and back to real life here.
Really appreciate your videos, and what you guys are doing is what I"m almost certain I would do. Find my life there, make sure it's what I want, and the rest will take care of itself. Yes, quiet!
Great video, I subscribe to both of you, I watched other bloggers talking about their sex life, or talk too much about their personal life, or how to date a philipina, or are you being scammed by your philipina girlfriend, I got tired of all that, you guys talk about liveing in Philippines, the Philippines life, that's what I like, simple, common sense videos I enjoy to watch
What a wonderful Christmas present to your Viewers! You are both really living the Life!! Darryl, Michael, Catherine and Larra all in one video 😁 Merry Christmas to you all!!! 🎄🎁👏
My favorite at the Angeles market is orange sweet potato "Kamote" 55 peso a kilo for a 10 kilo bag. I put full fat, plain yogurt and unsalted butter on them since they are pretty dry plain. I think the beef at the market is grass fed "very tough" 450p a kilo, have to cook it in a slow cooker crockpot submerged in water with bay leaf, thyme and broth cube for 10 hours or so with sweet potatoes. Turns it into tender and moist beef that falls apart I feel great eating this way. Took me a while to learn how to cook here with the local whole foods. Avoiding ultra-processed foods. Also can do low salt adobo for chicken and liver. If I have to eat out Filipino food at the local carinderia is the best IMO.
That's a good tip for the beef here. Have seen some places selling imported beef for 2.5k+ pesos a kilo (~$50!) no thanks, I'll start farming cattle before I pay $50 for a kilo of beef 🙂
Wow, this video hit close to home. Before I retired I used to live part time in Baguio City….I so hope to be back there in the near future!!! Loved the video and and I appreciate the fact that the two of you have given me another purpose, things were becoming stale. Thank You!!!
That's a great video we are Mike subscriber and i found your video from mike's video and we are your new subscriber we really like your video to watch about how the Philippines life i love philippines and i am Filipina married american amazing husband and have two beautiful children.Watching from States of South carolina 🇺🇸.
Love the content. Keep it up. I will be moving to the Philippines soon and getting perspective from you and your channel is so beneficial to making a successful move. Hopefully by next year I will be over there and starting up my practice to live my best life as you are.
Great video guys I watch both of youse and take a lot of info from both of your channels. I’m coming to the Philippines here in a couple days for the first time so I will experience this sort of the boots on the ground. My plan is to retire in five years andI will see if I can do something very similar to what you guys are doing with the rental and fixer uppers to keep myself busy.
@ Merry Christmas Darrel! You looked so relaxed out there as opposed to when you were working your projects here in San Diego. Good choice on moving to P.I., looks like it will add 10 more years to your lifespan!
Whats amazing is the love you feel from these children. They all want to hug you. I must have taken hundreds of photos with the children by their parents
Call all your america friends to businesses in your area so you can call america town like china town ,see Korean bissnes in the Philippines call your family and friends
Really appreciate these kinds of videos between expat vloggers. Watch both of your channels. Prices are too high there now though. Expats need to really stop paying the asking prices, it's too much. Take time to shop around, and learn to say no thank you it's too high or out of your budget
I also think for pricing a lot has to do with location, I’m looking at moving to Pacol outside Naga City Bicol in case you ever get any information in that area, just catching up on your videos and they are still great
Ah bro I was reminded about your last Christmas with the beard coloring. Maybe one year I could dress like buddy the elf.. but first I gotta get around to seeing that movie lol. Merry Christmas & happy New Year!
Buddy the elf is a great idea. I had a Santas helper who was awesome and added an entire additional dimension to it especially where I'm lacking. But another would be greatly appreciated especially to help with the recording, passing out candy etc
Sixteen thousand pesos for a tomahawk steak - $275. Beef is one thing way better in the USA. We watch the sales carefully and buy in bulk. Never paid more than $9/lb for tomahawks.
@@richard8181 curve dental in Subic is world class & amazing value without the waiting lists of Angeles. Dr Roza is some kind of athlete not joking, 8.5 hours work straight with no assistance, 6.5 the next day. Total $1.1k USD for $18k work.
I follow both of you because you're breaking the stereotype. I find absurd the proliferation of vlogs claiming it's absolutely necessary to have thousands of dollars a month.
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat what's super ridiculous is it takes a minute to look up wages for any job in the Philippines. When Duterte became president the wage was $50,000 USD per year (as it had been since Cory Aquino). These days a senior manager of 200+ staff might get 70k peso a month+ bonuses. 90% of Filipino live on less than $10 a day per person. But it's "impossible" for foreigners.
@@Ghekko-kw3zz The longer a person lives here, especially in the province, the easier it get to be happy and naturally live on less without trying. It just becomes comfortable and the trade off is so much less stress
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat I'm quite the frugalist wherever I go. Rented the same house in Zambales for 4kp a month for 10 years. 2 bedroom house in a very safe compound of 7 with the landlord at the gate. 5 minutes to surf 1 to palenke. Raised 2 children to school age on less than 50 kp a month.
great video thumbs up to both you guys .....really ...the interview flows...and packed with useful info....i luv you guys both channel many "other" channel is non stop complaining and talk of nothing but 'pina PU$$Y scam... and thats it .....but you guys, i give tons of RESPECT > a canadian and an american mature gent with loads of experience talking about information that i can USE and research about .....BRAVO ! i salute you both
You are correct he also seems to avoid the Filipina / relationship controversies. I hadn't thought about that actually but probably another reason I have the appreciation for his content and happy to recommend his channel
Mixed bag of info. Some info they are giving is somewhat whack and will vary wildly based on boots on the ground shopping around. Seems completely crazy to slam commenters in general as uninformed. Some of us have have been doing this stuff for ages. I've lived here 13+ years and have lived in many places including cities and provinces and of the guys I know I'm the newbie haha. Renting a place and fixing it up isn't the exception here, it's practically the rule and half the guys I know have been doing that for 10+ years. One good tip that Mike implied by giving the "true price" of his place is that you should calculate the "rent" based on rent+improvement cost then divide by how long you will be there. I would also advise visiting the location at multiple times of day and on a Friday night to check sound levels and also ask people about flooding. You don't want to be stuck in a multi year lease where every neighbor has a 24/7 barking dog and rooster farm or that has 6 inches of flood water in your living room 6 times a year.
Yes calculating the total cost amortized over the term is the way to judge the deal. Less than $100 in my case. I can't speak for Mike but you're apparently not the type of commenter we were talking about. We were discussing those who have never been here or those who say you can't live here on less than $3,000 USD per month. Nothing general about that in anyway. That was the entire point of the conversation. We also discussed the widely varied rental costs, brown outs etc etc depending on where in the Philippines and that is a fact. Nothing Whack about that. Just mainly those who are just plain negative no matter what is said. So probably not talking about you
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat All good. I'm fully on your side on the living price stuff. Someone saying you can't live on less than $3k is so wrong I would probably say something nasty about them lol. I could live here on $300 if I really wanted to go native so 1/10th of that. And could live near kingly level for $1600. For whack I was mainly talking about the dental info something to the effect of "highest price anywhere 8k" is decidedly wrong, the most advertised places in AC are near USA (midwest) prices. AC on AVERAGE is not really ~that cheap for dental, yes there are deals if you shop around but you really need to ask what base materials will be used (titanium, tilite, porcelain etc). But, I can empathize that it's hard to give general info here on most topics without it being "wrong" in many areas of the Philippines. I'm living in Subic at the moment but lived in AC for a long time and several other areas. I may be a bit more over-info'd on the dental topic since it's the reason I first arrived here 13 years ago and have work done as recently as 6 months ago. There are cheaper countries for dental for sure but not if you already paid for travel to here. and would have to pay to travel to them because the prices are not different enough.
@@AChrisPostal The price quote was from a dentist office in AC and two quotes I got in Porac. 15K was the highest from a Dentist who also gave me the 8k Quote. 8K at the office in Porac or 15K at the office he worked at in Clark. Same dentist same crown different locations. They were quotes for porcelain . Not sure about the titanium or type of metal
Bro enjoy being in that part of the Philippines while you still healthy By the time you needs a medical assistant , then you re alize you are in a wrong city of the Philippines
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat brother im not trying to mind your business But you should be closer to a Healthcare facility for Emergency Its nice to live in Country Side aint much traffic, i would like that too myself But like my age 73 yrs old , im little worry living in Country side Thats just me Have a good time Enjoy the Philippines👍
😎👍🇺🇲 Watched both channels. I've kinda lost track of my subscriptions with the circus sideshow that's been going on here in the US.🤣 People need to watch a wide variety of channels to get a good idea what's going on over there. The big difference in the phols is you can move 30 miles away and have a completely different lifestyle. Live the high life in Cebu or farm life a short distance away. It's certainly not for everyone. Ive only visited twice. I hope to show up several more times before I decide where to stay. Cheers from Fluffy in the PNW Seattle WA area ✌️
I think it's good to have a sense of perspective, yes I've been very blessed here. Look me up if you're in the area. Yes areas can be very different when not far away
While I was in Angeles city for three weeks there were two brown outs. One lasted for maybe five hours but the hotels have backup generators so it's not an issue. Now one thing I hated was the burning of garbage. My hotel had wall air conditioners and there were times I had to shut it off cause it was bringing in the smoke into my room. I hate that you see areas of trash on the ground and you wonder don't these people care about how their property looks. I know I won't live in the city ever. But being diabetic it would be hard living here. In the US they make so many things you can buy that has no sugar in it. Here it's limited to find items you can get everywhere in America. Cough drops are in the candy Isle which took me a while to find.
@Ex-Pensive_Expat it was the boomarage hotel. I'll be giving them a bad review when I get home. I am now in Manila near the airport. It's a condo hotel, not bad and has an Aircon which is way better.
I've never heard a bad review of the Drake from anyone. I was going to check out the Boomerang because I thought you liked it there. I've been either sick super busy or dealing with the construction. Sorry I missed you on my birthday
@Ex-Pensive_Expat the Drake was good. I ate most of my meals there. Air condition restaurant where the boomarage is open to the heat. If I ordered from my hotel I ate in my room.
Good job looks nice i get all my dental work in Mexico were i go you can say it's 1970 prices and it's not Tijuana that place is high were i go there are no tourist a hidden gem.
I spent the entire video saying "wow this guy (guy on left) sounds and speaks just like the other guy I've been watching for months. Thinking it was the first time I've watched this channel. Then go on main page to realize it was the same guy. He just went white over night? 😂
Just watched Michael’s video with you so I decided to become unsubscribe I used to live in Bataan In the late 80s and early 90s you know much simple house than that in a place called Lamao Did some Christian mission work there? I miss it like crazy really enjoyed your video. I will have to try to keep in touch in case I’m able to come back. I had heart surgery five years ago had to retire but now I don’t know if I can handle the heat there.
Personally I feel I am healthier since I moved here. I feel better in ways associated with eating healthier, less processed foods. I buy mostly all from the public market. Bataan is about an hour away. I'm guessing the heat is the same as when you were here. I stay indoors when it's too hot. Same as I did in southern Ca. I do my shopping during the early hours of the day. Then there is also Baguio. Maybe come for a visit in the cooler weather time of the year and see how it goes for you with aircon etc. Let me know if I can help you my friend!!
@ I used the speech recognition to type it is supposed to say I subscribed ! I have so many friends and relatives there so it would not be too hard. I’m still just wondering about the heat and travel. Thank you for responding. we have a lot of family and friends here that are Filipino. It has been great to know. Many are even worked at Filipino store when I was younger every time I got laid off I would help my friend. (also had a heart problem back then) I also can speak quite a bit of Tagalog. I need to get back into it. I’m really rusty.
@ thank you for your response. No the only thing I didn’t get on that video was the name of the town. I just didn’t hear it properly but now I know that you are near Pampanga. many of my good friends have been from that area. One just passed away a year ago. He was the first Filipino I’ve ever met here in the states he was in karate with me a good brother in the Lord I was just thinking about him this morning if we get back to the Philippines, we will come and visit you. Your house is way better than the apartment I used to rent in Balanga We moved out about 10 days before my daughter was born right after that they had a flood 5 feet high in the apartment There was a river that ran right and back of the property and out houses hanging over the river, so our timing to move out was very good. No one was able to get sick but my wife’s town doesn’t seem to flood. It’s a little higher elevation.
The town is called Porac and it's in the province of Pampanga. About 10 miles from, Clark, Clark International Airport and Angeles City, 90 minutes from Manila on the Island of Luzon
Hahaha.... It's Santa time and to play the part I go all out and bleach the beard. Between the school and the public market I handed out candy to about 1,300 kids
Hey mate great video. I also watch Michael I’ve been to the Beaver when we were in the Philippines last month heading back to the Philippines in February to stay was wondering in your area. How is it with the weather? Do you guys get typhoons there once I get to the Philippines, would you be willing to help us to find a place in your area that we can maybe do the same thing that what you’re doing? Don’t mind if I have to pay for your time but let me know mate thank you and how can I get a hold of you?
Actually, it's not difficult to find a good landlord...you do have to be careful, but what you are offering to the landlord is a win-win...long term, stable passive income, and a tenant that actually cares about and wants to make improvements to the unit....I recently saw a vlog about a lady who did this exact same strategy in Bali! She signed a 10 year lease and not only transformed her old bungalow, but added in a nice swimming pool! All in, she calculated her average monthly rent, including all the improvements worked out to be about $600 per month.
@albathoughtsofficial If you had a long term lease and after all the improvements the landlord decided had to move back how protected would a foreigner be in court?
@@jspbipro A Foreigner would be well protected as long as their lease agreement was properly reviewed by an attorney. Attorney fees are very reasonable in the Philippines. Also Landlords are prohibited from evicting tenants without lawful or justifiable reasons, even if the property owner seeks to use the property themselves. The other good news is that in the Philippines the contracts and legal system use English, a huge plus. In other non English speaking countries, you would need to get your contract translated, but in case of any legal issue, that foreign court would rely on the original foreign language version of the contract.
That Philippines' Life - Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar video: ua-cam.com/video/1ooa4S3oYsQ/v-deo.htmlsi=zknb0vACilcW7fl- Yeah, and I watched this video because I saw Michael's face on it. Otherwise, I never would have known about this channel. It showed up on my recommendations!😉
I've seen this guy's videos on Bagiuo. This place you are in might not be a bad place to hang one's hat, but I may never make it over being so troubled and attached, yada yada yada. Life has grounded me. Punishment for my sins I suppose.
I heard my dogs a couple of time because they were playing a few feet away and will bark at each other a few times a day?? I didn't hear any chickens anywhere in this video but also wasn't listening for them
The human body has been honed by countless generations of hardship and deprivation to survive darn near anything... except ease and plenty. Those conditions have never existed in any one location long enough for humans to learn how to cope. Anyone who thinks "retirement" means sitting on their butt doing nothing might as well open a vein and get it over with. At least then they won't spend a decade or more making the people around them miserable.
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat When I was young and foolish I believed I was serving humanity by trying to free people from the prisons they constructed for themselves. Then I grew up and realized humanity doesn't want to be served. It resents any attempt to serve it and those who persist are fortunate if the worst that happens to them is martyrdom. So I decided to put my efforts into things I found enjoyable or at least interesting and leave the rest of the world alone.
I never really much spent time in my younger years doing anything more than being generous if a friend truly needed it. Now a days it seems many gain courage from the videos of my experiences. That I feel passionate about. I only make videos when I am feeling inspired. Most of my contents is actually responding to thoughts and questions I get in the comments. I tried a couple of times to do some research on a few topics but didn't feel comfortable about making those type of videos. Only if I feel motivated and inspired to share an experience that may help others, is the only type of videos I make. Ever
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat It shows. It's sort of like chasing happiness, the harder you run, the faster it flees. You get more positive feedback simply by being relaxed and positive.
I'm always me. I see myself as an example to those who are maybe not happy where they are / financially challenged and just need the encouragement to give it a try
You look and sound like Bob Wells the van guy. To an uncanny level. Voice tone and cadence is almost exact. You must be twins separated at birth or something.
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat pre Du30 it was defacto legal, a matter of disturbing the peace. The hash was world class & $1 a gram from Mountain province. The laws were harsh since WW2 but rarely enforced. These days it's ridiculous, 3 strikes for meth before prison vs 1 for weed. 10 years for simple possession. Everyone ends up paying their way out. Thailand will at worst put medical clinics next door to dispensaries & honor overseas prescriptions.
28:00 minutes of the video: People who are spending $20k USD a month are idiots. There is no way you need to spend that kind of money a month. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and live downtown and spend $20k USD a year.
That's one of the reason why The Philippines is such a great place. Even if the cost of living was similar. Knowing what I know I would still choose to live here
Two positive minds talking about their lives, thank you both.
You're welcome Captain Ron!!

Hi Darryl, I guess we've both been busy. I've been settled here in Baguio since September. Looks like you're enjoying the beach life during the cool months. I have a long-term lease now so I won't be needing to find a place to renovate. I think it is a good model to keep busy and keep the skills fresh as well as get a good deal and help the owner also.

My favorite at the Angeles market is orange sweet potato "Kamote" 55 peso a kilo for a 10 kilo bag. I put full fat, plain yogurt and unsalted butter on them since they are pretty dry plain. I think the beef at the market is grass fed "very tough" 450p a kilo, have to cook it in a slow cooker crockpot submerged in water with bay leaf, thyme and broth cube for 10 hours or so with sweet potatoes. Turns it into tender and moist beef that falls apart I feel great eating this way. Took me a while to learn how to cook here with the local whole foods. Avoiding ultra-processed foods. Also can do low salt adobo for chicken and liver. If I have to eat out Filipino food at the local carinderia is the best IMO.
Awesome my friend. Thank you so much for the ideas!! I will defiantly try your suggestions!1
That's a good tip for the beef here. Have seen some places selling imported beef for 2.5k+ pesos a kilo (~$50!) no thanks, I'll start farming cattle before I pay $50 for a kilo of beef 🙂
@@AChrisPostal With that price of beef I've wondered why beef isn't grown here
One can lie on a beach, but to lay on a beach is retirement on a whole different level. 😊
Thanks for sharing the knowledge guys ! Merry Christmas 🌲
Merry Christmas to you too!! You're welcome my friend! BTW I'm your newest subcsriber
Wow, this video hit close to home. Before I retired I used to live part time in Baguio City….I so hope to be back there in the near future!!! Loved the video and and I appreciate the fact that the two of you have given me another purpose, things were becoming stale. Thank You!!!
Now that you're retired you could live there full time lol
That's a great video we are Mike subscriber and i found your video from mike's video and we are your new subscriber we really like your video to watch about how the Philippines life i love philippines and i am Filipina married american amazing husband and have two beautiful children.Watching from States of South carolina 🇺🇸.
You should be very proud of this country. I love the culture. After many years in America, living here is an awesome experience
The bar looks great
Thank you Dutchie!!!
Love the content. Keep it up. I will be moving to the Philippines soon and getting perspective from you and your channel is so beneficial to making a successful move. Hopefully by next year I will be over there and starting up my practice to live my best life as you are.
Thank you!! Hope it's helpful. Is there a topic(S) you'd like me to address??
Good to see you guys making another video together. Y'all can make a good construction team. Make the big pesos.
We're both building a better life here! Several similarities !!
Great video guys I watch both of youse and take a lot of info from both of your channels. I’m coming to the Philippines here in a couple days for the first time so I will experience this sort of the boots on the ground. My plan is to retire in five years andI will see if I can do something very similar to what you guys are doing with the rental and fixer uppers to keep myself busy.
Let me know if you're in the area m friend
It’s so nice not staining facial hair, I bet you’re glad you let it go too. Welcome to the club!
Not actually for me. I've had it grey for a while. I've bleached it for the Santa thing once a year. But just the way I feel more comfortable
@ this is why one should never assume 🍻
@@actionator No Problem my friend
Darryl, Great interview. Glad to see that you are doing the Santa gig again.
Thank you. Wow!! 1,300 kids in two days. It's really draining to try and greet each child individually.
I like this type of video, would like to see more of these, I've seen his channel before he has really good content too
Thank you. I am trying to be able to bring more conversations like this. Mostly I just need the microphones
Hey Darrel great to see you with Mike, I subscribe to you both. You guys make great videos. Mike is a good guy.
Hey there Peter. Thank you my friend!! Nice to see your comment.
@ Merry Christmas Darrel! You looked so relaxed out there as opposed to when you were working your projects here in San Diego. Good choice on moving to P.I., looks like it will add 10 more years to your lifespan!
Yes Peter for sure. As you well know the Philippines has an amazing culture. Merry Christmas to you too!!
The bar (while isn't finished yet) looks so good now.
I had to chuckle a bit seeing the token Philipina on her phone in the background.
Awww.. She's not a token, she's Mikes Asawa. Super sweet but also super shy.
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat What I meant by that since so many girls / women there are always on their phones it's a token behaviour.
No worries my friend.
Good video my friend long time no see.
Thank you my friend. I will be trying to get out more content in the coming year
Wonderful video! (You must be Santa again this year. So wonderful!) 🩷
Thank you. Yes!! Santa this year again, just like last year! Except over 1,300 kids between the school and public market
@ Amazing, my friend! 🩷
Whats amazing is the love you feel from these children. They all want to hug you. I must have taken hundreds of photos with the children by their parents
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat Children are such a gift! It’s wonderful that you can bring smiles to so many children! 😊
For me it's a level of adorable that's almost impossible to describe
Call all your america friends to businesses in your area so you can call america town like china town ,see Korean bissnes in the Philippines call your family and friends
The west dont have that kind of close knit community of family and friends, as compared to asian where generations of family stay together.
Really enjoyed the video lots of good information as always... Thanks dude.
Thank you my friend
Really appreciate these kinds of videos between expat vloggers. Watch both of your channels. Prices are too high there now though. Expats need to really stop paying the asking prices, it's too much. Take time to shop around, and learn to say no thank you it's too high or out of your budget
Thanks for watching and supporting both channels. We both live on similar basic budgets. It's nice to show others it can still be done
Great video and good conversation. Keep it up.
Thank you Leon!!
I'd definitely like to hang out when I get there, that would be great!
Awesome!! Lets do it!!
Right on!
Thank you!!
I also think for pricing a lot has to do with location, I’m looking at moving to Pacol outside Naga City Bicol in case you ever get any information in that area, just catching up on your videos and they are still great
I do want to get down there to Bicol and explore that area.Location has a lot to do with pricing. Mainly rent for example
Ah bro I was reminded about your last Christmas with the beard coloring. Maybe one year I could dress like buddy the elf.. but first I gotta get around to seeing that movie lol.
Merry Christmas & happy New Year!
Buddy the elf is a great idea. I had a Santas helper who was awesome and added an entire additional dimension to it especially where I'm lacking. But another would be greatly appreciated especially to help with the recording, passing out candy etc

Sixteen thousand pesos for a tomahawk steak - $275. Beef is one thing way better in the USA. We watch the sales carefully and buy in bulk. Never paid more than $9/lb for tomahawks.
They're probably flown in so it you want a fresh one, you'll need to pay the freight
My fiancee is in Roxas City so I am familiar with Roxas City. I am aware of the area your guest is living...Bay Bay Beach area.
Nice. He has the Canadian Beaver there on the beach
Good info about Angeles dental, we are in Bantog StaMaria Pangasinan.
Hello Richard. Yes topics not often covered on other channels but many are in need of the info
@@richard8181 curve dental in Subic is world class & amazing value without the waiting lists of Angeles. Dr Roza is some kind of athlete not joking, 8.5 hours work straight with no assistance, 6.5 the next day. Total $1.1k USD for $18k work.
Oh wow!! Thank you. I will pay him a visit.
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat YT censorbots sheesh... Roza is a she. A superstar. 100% 5 ⭐ reviews
Nice. I definitely follow up with the kind of review you gave her. And her office isn't too far either
Great vlog👍🏼 Merry Christmas🎅🎄
Merry Christmas to you too!
On maps i found the Canadian Beaver in less than 30 seconds lol
Close to the airport. I will be there some time next year.
I follow both of you because you're breaking the stereotype. I find absurd the proliferation of vlogs claiming it's absolutely necessary to have thousands of dollars a month.
It’s refreshing to hear a voice of reason.
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat what's super ridiculous is it takes a minute to look up wages for any job in the Philippines. When Duterte became president the wage was $50,000 USD per year (as it had been since Cory Aquino). These days a senior manager of 200+ staff might get 70k peso a month+ bonuses. 90% of Filipino live on less than $10 a day per person. But it's "impossible" for foreigners.
@@Ghekko-kw3zz The longer a person lives here, especially in the province, the easier it get to be happy and naturally live on less without trying. It just becomes comfortable and the trade off is so much less stress
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat I'm quite the frugalist wherever I go. Rented the same house in Zambales for 4kp a month for 10 years. 2 bedroom house in a very safe compound of 7 with the landlord at the gate. 5 minutes to surf 1 to palenke. Raised 2 children to school age on less than 50 kp a month.
Nicely done my friend!!
great video thumbs up to both you guys .....really ...the interview flows...and packed with useful info....i luv you guys both channel many "other" channel is non stop complaining and talk of nothing but 'pina PU$$Y scam... and thats it .....but you guys, i give tons of RESPECT > a canadian and an american mature gent with loads of experience talking about information that i can USE and research about .....BRAVO ! i salute you both
You are correct he also seems to avoid the Filipina / relationship controversies. I hadn't thought about that actually but probably another reason I have the appreciation for his content and happy to recommend his channel
Mixed bag of info. Some info they are giving is somewhat whack and will vary wildly based on boots on the ground shopping around. Seems completely crazy to slam commenters in general as uninformed. Some of us have have been doing this stuff for ages. I've lived here 13+ years and have lived in many places including cities and provinces and of the guys I know I'm the newbie haha. Renting a place and fixing it up isn't the exception here, it's practically the rule and half the guys I know have been doing that for 10+ years. One good tip that Mike implied by giving the "true price" of his place is that you should calculate the "rent" based on rent+improvement cost then divide by how long you will be there. I would also advise visiting the location at multiple times of day and on a Friday night to check sound levels and also ask people about flooding. You don't want to be stuck in a multi year lease where every neighbor has a 24/7 barking dog and rooster farm or that has 6 inches of flood water in your living room 6 times a year.
Yes calculating the total cost amortized over the term is the way to judge the deal. Less than $100 in my case. I can't speak for Mike but you're apparently not the type of commenter we were talking about. We were discussing those who have never been here or those who say you can't live here on less than $3,000 USD per month. Nothing general about that in anyway. That was the entire point of the conversation. We also discussed the widely varied rental costs, brown outs etc etc depending on where in the Philippines and that is a fact. Nothing Whack about that. Just mainly those who are just plain negative no matter what is said. So probably not talking about you
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat All good. I'm fully on your side on the living price stuff. Someone saying you can't live on less than $3k is so wrong I would probably say something nasty about them lol. I could live here on $300 if I really wanted to go native so 1/10th of that. And could live near kingly level for $1600.
For whack I was mainly talking about the dental info something to the effect of "highest price anywhere 8k" is decidedly wrong, the most advertised places in AC are near USA (midwest) prices. AC on AVERAGE is not really ~that cheap for dental, yes there are deals if you shop around but you really need to ask what base materials will be used (titanium, tilite, porcelain etc). But, I can empathize that it's hard to give general info here on most topics without it being "wrong" in many areas of the Philippines. I'm living in Subic at the moment but lived in AC for a long time and several other areas. I may be a bit more over-info'd on the dental topic since it's the reason I first arrived here 13 years ago and have work done as recently as 6 months ago. There are cheaper countries for dental for sure but not if you already paid for travel to here. and would have to pay to travel to them because the prices are not different enough.
@@AChrisPostal The price quote was from a dentist office in AC and two quotes I got in Porac. 15K was the highest from a Dentist who also gave me the 8k Quote. 8K at the office in Porac or 15K at the office he worked at in Clark. Same dentist same crown different locations. They were quotes for porcelain . Not sure about the titanium or type of metal
Bro enjoy being in that part of the Philippines while you still healthy

Watched both channels.
I've kinda lost track of my subscriptions with the circus sideshow that's been going on here in the US.🤣
People need to watch a wide variety of channels to get a good idea what's going on over there.
The big difference in the phols is you can move 30 miles away and have a completely different lifestyle.
Live the high life in Cebu or farm life a short distance away.
It's certainly not for everyone.
Ive only visited twice.
I hope to show up several more times before I decide where to stay.
Cheers from Fluffy in the PNW Seattle WA area ✌️
I think it's good to have a sense of perspective, yes I've been very blessed here. Look me up if you're in the area. Yes areas can be very different when not far away
While I was in Angeles city for three weeks there were two brown outs. One lasted for maybe five hours but the hotels have backup generators so it's not an issue. Now one thing I hated was the burning of garbage. My hotel had wall air conditioners and there were times I had to shut it off cause it was bringing in the smoke into my room. I hate that you see areas of trash on the ground and you wonder don't these people care about how their property looks. I know I won't live in the city ever. But being diabetic it would be hard living here. In the US they make so many things you can buy that has no sugar in it. Here it's limited to find items you can get everywhere in America. Cough drops are in the candy Isle which took me a while to find.
Yes it is different here. What hotel did you stay at?? Where are you now Coyote?
@Ex-Pensive_Expat it was the boomarage hotel. I'll be giving them a bad review when I get home. I am now in Manila near the airport. It's a condo hotel, not bad and has an Aircon which is way better.
I've never heard a bad review of the Drake from anyone. I was going to check out the Boomerang because I thought you liked it there. I've been either sick super busy or dealing with the construction. Sorry I missed you on my birthday
@Ex-Pensive_Expat the Drake was good. I ate most of my meals there. Air condition restaurant where the boomarage is open to the heat. If I ordered from my hotel I ate in my room.
Any place with a bar gets my vote. The Irish in me really likes that.....
Well then you'll need to come see it when you're in the area
To thine purpose, whatever it is, be true!
Yesss Sir
Good job looks nice i get all my dental work in Mexico were i go you can say it's 1970 prices and it's not Tijuana that place is high were i go there are no tourist a hidden gem.
I used to go to TJ for years before I got here. The pandemic was a problem during that time
So where is that place?? Do tell....
@@Kevin-zz9nc Porac Pampanga my friend. 10 miles as the crow flies from Angeles City
I spent the entire video saying "wow this guy (guy on left) sounds and speaks just like the other guy I've been watching for months. Thinking it was the first time I've watched this channel. Then go on main page to realize it was the same guy. He just went white over night? 😂

Hi from Melbourne AUSTRALIA
Nice to see you again Richard
he saves by not being married.Once a week just get a nice bar gal for very cheap.
No bar girls here I assure you...
Just watched Michael’s video with you so I decided to become unsubscribe I used to live in Bataan
In the late 80s and early 90s you know much simple house than that in a place called Lamao Did some Christian mission work there? I miss it like crazy really enjoyed your video. I will have to try to keep in touch in case I’m able to come back. I had heart surgery five years ago had to retire but now I don’t know if I can handle the heat there.
Personally I feel I am healthier since I moved here. I feel better in ways associated with eating healthier, less processed foods. I buy mostly all from the public market. Bataan is about an hour away. I'm guessing the heat is the same as when you were here. I stay indoors when it's too hot. Same as I did in southern Ca. I do my shopping during the early hours of the day. Then there is also Baguio. Maybe come for a visit in the cooler weather time of the year and see how it goes for you with aircon etc. Let me know if I can help you my friend!!
@ I used the speech recognition to type it is supposed to say I subscribed ! I have so many friends and relatives there so it would not be too hard. I’m still just wondering about the heat and travel. Thank you for responding. we have a lot of family and friends here that are Filipino. It has been great to know. Many are even worked at Filipino store when I was younger every time I got laid off I would help my friend. (also had a heart problem back then) I also can speak quite a bit of Tagalog. I need to get back into it. I’m really rusty.
If there is aircon where you will be then you should do well. It was 25 degrees this morning here in Pampanga, I had to turn the fan off.
@ thank you for your response. No the only thing I didn’t get on that video was the name of the town. I just didn’t hear it properly but now I know that you are near Pampanga. many of my good friends have been from that area. One just passed away a year ago. He was the first Filipino I’ve ever met here in the states he was in karate with me a good brother in the Lord I was just thinking about him this morning if we get back to the Philippines, we will come and visit you. Your house is way better than the apartment I used to rent in Balanga We moved out about 10 days before my daughter was born right after that they had a flood 5 feet high in the apartment There was a river that ran right and back of the property and out houses hanging over the river, so our timing to move out was very good. No one was able to get sick but my wife’s town doesn’t seem to flood. It’s a little higher elevation.
The town is called Porac and it's in the province of Pampanga. About 10 miles from, Clark, Clark International Airport and Angeles City, 90 minutes from Manila on the Island of Luzon
Not gonna lie....I was confused for a few seconds .....I could here your voice but didnt see you
Hahaha.... It's Santa time and to play the part I go all out and bleach the beard. Between the school and the public market I handed out candy to about 1,300 kids
Hey mate great video. I also watch Michael I’ve been to the Beaver when we were in the Philippines last month heading back to the Philippines in February to stay was wondering in your area. How is it with the weather? Do you guys get typhoons there once I get to the Philippines, would you be willing to help us to find a place in your area that we can maybe do the same thing that what you’re doing? Don’t mind if I have to pay for your time but let me know mate thank you and how can I get a hold of you?

It is what it is.
Get a room guys! Just joking. Great show!!
Thank you!!
Bottom Line...IF you can find the right landlord to do the deal then can work, but that's a BIG IF.
Actually, it's not difficult to find a good landlord...you do have to be careful, but what you are offering to the landlord is a win-win...long term, stable passive income, and a tenant that actually cares about and wants to make improvements to the unit....I recently saw a vlog about a lady who did this exact same strategy in Bali! She signed a 10 year lease and not only transformed her old bungalow, but added in a nice swimming pool! All in, she calculated her average monthly rent, including all the improvements worked out to be about $600 per month.
@albathoughtsofficial If you had a long term lease and after all the improvements the landlord decided had to move back how protected would a foreigner be in court?
@@jspbipro A Foreigner would be well protected as long as their lease agreement was properly reviewed by an attorney. Attorney fees are very reasonable in the Philippines. Also Landlords are prohibited from evicting tenants without lawful or justifiable reasons, even if the property owner seeks to use the property themselves. The other good news is that in the Philippines the contracts and legal system use English, a huge plus. In other non English speaking countries, you would need to get your contract translated, but in case of any legal issue, that foreign court would rely on the original foreign language version of the contract.

The human body has been honed by countless generations of hardship and deprivation to survive darn near anything... except ease and plenty. Those conditions have never existed in any one location long enough for humans to learn how to cope. Anyone who thinks "retirement" means sitting on their butt doing nothing might as well open a vein and get it over with. At least then they won't spend a decade or more making the people around them miserable.
I feel sorry for those stuck in that life cycle. I could write a book on the various aspects of the truth in your statement
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat When I was young and foolish I believed I was serving humanity by trying to free people from the prisons they constructed for themselves. Then I grew up and realized humanity doesn't want to be served. It resents any attempt to serve it and those who persist are fortunate if the worst that happens to them is martyrdom. So I decided to put my efforts into things I found enjoyable or at least interesting and leave the rest of the world alone.
I never really much spent time in my younger years doing anything more than being generous if a friend truly needed it. Now a days it seems many gain courage from the videos of my experiences. That I feel passionate about. I only make videos when I am feeling inspired. Most of my contents is actually responding to thoughts and questions I get in the comments. I tried a couple of times to do some research on a few topics but didn't feel comfortable about making those type of videos. Only if I feel motivated and inspired to share an experience that may help others, is the only type of videos I make. Ever
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat It shows. It's sort of like chasing happiness, the harder you run, the faster it flees. You get more positive feedback simply by being relaxed and positive.
I'm always me. I see myself as an example to those who are maybe not happy where they are / financially challenged and just need the encouragement to give it a try

Philippines should legalize weed like Thailand did. Tourism would triple in a year.
I don't see that happening here. There are very strict drug laws here. From what I am hearing Thailand may be rethinking their drug laws
@@Ex-Pensive_Expat pre Du30 it was defacto legal, a matter of disturbing the peace. The hash was world class & $1 a gram from Mountain province. The laws were harsh since WW2 but rarely enforced. These days it's ridiculous, 3 strikes for meth before prison vs 1 for weed. 10 years for simple possession. Everyone ends up paying their way out. Thailand will at worst put medical clinics next door to dispensaries & honor overseas prescriptions.
I haven't followed it. My comment. was just hearsay when I wasn't paying attention. Just a note to say checking out
Color TV 😂
28:00 minutes of the video: People who are spending $20k USD a month are idiots. There is no way you need to spend that kind of money a month. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and live downtown and spend $20k USD a year.
20,000 a month that's just plain stupidity
It can be done if you try lol!!! I don't begrudge anyone living with in their means. But probably includes a lot of high end travel and so on
America not anymore a great place to live in due to high cost of living and low pay.
That's one of the reason why The Philippines is such a great place. Even if the cost of living was similar. Knowing what I know I would still choose to live here
