      Would you please make a video on this app called tango which involves a lot of inappropriate streaming of fillipinas that show their bodies for gifts. It’s like prostitution to me. Please make a show about this and talk about it. I would love to hear your opinion on this.

      @2:25 BINGO Sweet Pea. My plan is to keep my paid for condo in the U.S. The few bills associated with it are already set to auto-pay. My Filipina already owns our house in Talisay, free and clear. The plan is for us to fly back and forth. The U.S. in our short summer while she's on break from her public school teaching job, and Talisay when school resumes. Probably a 9:3 month ratio. As I'm much older than Mary, I expect to kick the bucket first. She'll have her home there, and my U.S. home will go to my kids to do with what they wish. Mary is set up to live a long life without me.

    After I Retired in August: I gave away my Truck to my Brother. My three Laser Printers & my Binding machine to the other Brother. Distributed all the "stuff" from my parents to Family members, gave away all my heavy, oak furniture. There is one balikbayan box with my Son to ship once I have an address. I came to Cebu City Monday, with two suitcases & two laptop bags. 15 Days booked in a Hotel & 20 days worth of clothes. Next week, I look for a Condo Rental for Six Months.

    In 2005, I sold EVERYTHING! Furniture, vehicles, appliances, house, everything I couldn't put in 2 suitcases, and moved to Mindanao! I had been to the Philippines years before, and had always wanted to go back. I had gotten divorced, and I loaded my new found freedom into my bags and bought a plane ticket. I'd been talking to a young lady for several months and I was on my way to meet her. To make a long story short....we've now been married 18 years and have 2 sons. We're in the states and I see it as the best decision I ever made (moving to the Philippines years ago). It's not a decision that works for everyone, but in my case... ABSOLUTELY!

    Three more reasons why I watch every episode of The Filipina Pea
    Self-Reflection and Integrity:
    She polishes her soul, avoiding careless hypocrisy. Integrity is her mirror, reflecting truth.
    Golden Rule Keeper:
    Others feel her kindness, for she treats them as she wishes to be treated. No double standards, no masks.
    A Voice of Kindness:
    She never humiliates, never shames. Her words are wings that lift, not weights that crush.

    I was working for general motors in Detroit making 28 dollars an hour sitting on a forklift truck. Making as much money as i could want as a working man. But that was never my heart.
    I love working with kids. Helping people. Education was what I wanted to do. It was my passion.
    I went to Asia for an 18 day holiday. Met a Filipina teaching English in Bangkok. She talked me into moving to Thailand and pursuing my dream. It did not take much convincing. It was iny my heart to do it.
    I went home, sold everything. Quit my cushy 28 dollar an hour job and moved to Asia to make 1000 dollars a month living on paycheck to paycheck teaching English.
    And I loved every minute of it.
    I'm home now. In Texas. But with a lifetime of memories to live out the rest of my days with.
    I managed to stay single, am still single now. But if I were to ever consider marriage again, it would be with a Christian, and hopefully an Asian woman. But if that is my future, it is in God's hands to decide.
    God bless

House is empty and up for sale. It was very easy for me to give the ex all the property. After 8 years we are finally finishing things up. I will be in Manila in first week of April.

    I'm retired, single, never married with no kids, a paid for house, car, and possessions, money in the bank with a pretty good steady income. I moved back home when I got out of the military into the house I grew up in when I was a kid that my grandfather built. I bought it in 2010 and renovated it and settled in a few years ago. I don't have hardly any friends or family left (most of my friends and family are so far away, or gone now). I just lost my dad this year and my mom isn't doing well either. When I was in the military I loved traveling around, and I spent about half of my time overseas in Japan, Korea, Hawaii, deployed, etc. I used to love doing that, but the only thing I lack these days is health and energy to try and make such a life altering decision, again. I was hoping to get home and plant, finally. I'm unsure the PH is for me because I've always pretty much kept to myself, but I'm seriously considering ditching the West and going for it. Feeling better would certainly make this an easier thing to do. Just like it used to be. Maybe one of these days?

    Hi Pea., you have described how I currently live, prior to my retirement, seven years ago, I sold my house and the majority of my furniture, I moved into a two bedroom apartment, and lived there until I retired.
    I learned that my happiness didn’t evolve around material things, but my peace of mind, my health, being able to share time with close friends, and travel.
    When I sold my house and minimized my responsibilities of asset ownership, I became less burdened with debt and anxiety, I could breathe.

    The only thing I can think of that I had to give up is money and time. It’s not cheap flying back and forth between our countries and it’s not a quick trip either. If you’re blessed enough to have a lot of money you can get a direct business class flight but it will still take you 12 to 18 hours depending on where you are flying from here in the U.S. If you are like the rest of us though it’s probably going to take 2 or 3 flights and take 20 to 30 hours. Oh ya the money for business flights are about $5k to $7k last time I checked with the cheaper flights being $1k to $1500. Living in a beautiful country with wonderful hospitable people including a woman who became my wife though, priceless. The money and time was a small price to pay for all the Philippines has given me in return. So if there is anyone out there who wants to make the jump, be like Nike and “just do it”. Full disclosure I don’t live in the Philippines full time. I work 9 months a year in the U.S. and live in the Philippines all winter or 3 months. Been living this way for the last 6 years and will continue it till I retire there. Good luck and watch all Peas videos before u make the trip because the info will save you everything. I wish I could have learned the easy way by watching her videos instead of the hard way. It’s all Pea’s fault for not starting her channel sooner to save me. Lol

    Left Chinada August 28, 2023 due to the current state of affairs. Sold the house, cars, guns and ammo and loaded a 40' ocean container and made our way to Pangasinan. I miss home but the filipinos have been pretty good to me. I am greatful for the opportunity to start a new life working on the home, farming Bangus, rice, papaya and corn. Salamat Philippines.

      @@TheFilipinaPea I am not sure if it's a dream, it is alot of work that's for sure, but a blessing to be able to start over and make a difference in a few peoples lives by providing employment opportunities and food through the farms. It emulates how the life in the west was years ago before globalization took hold. The people/community working together to produce what is needed to live a good life with limited government intervention...Maybe a dream!?

    50 Million men from all over the world look at Pea and all want to move to the Philippines to find a Pea of their own. The advice of going there to see what it is like for a month or two is great advice. For some people it might be the heat they don't like . Granted I live in Florida but I keep my bedroom at 64 F and my house at 68 F I stay inside as much as I can when the temp outside is over 76 F. Next would be the food. I could not eat rice every day . I am a meat and Potato kind of guy and I love steaks. Beef is something I have always loved. Also I love real milk. Knowing you will be making a trip you need to see if you can live with out a lot of the things you love or enjoy. I love Pasta but not with all the sugar. I don't eat a lot of sweets but that is my choice to me it's something I don't care for. Yes I do eat some sweets but not in my foods. I think the last time I had a slice of cake was almost a year ago. Yet I love baking and bake a lot of cakes cookies brownies pies make fudge so on I just don't eat them lol. I end up giving them away. I love to cook but I only eat one meal a day sometimes I eat every other day depends on my mood..
    To be fair even if you find a true love no matter how beautiful she or he is over time the things you miss will soon catch up with you. For example Pea is so beautiful most men would think if I had pea I would not need anything ells ever again. But over time the thought of that thick juicy Prime rib with Beef mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes starts making your mouth water. Thinking of that ice cold glass of fresh real milk with the meal and a side dish of fresh baked home made apple pie with French Vanilla Ice cream. Or when it is really hot out and the power is off you miss that Air Con that keeps you cool. Remember Pea has been to the U.S and she knows how our food taste. I am sure our food here in the U.S is nothing like it is in the Philippines. Last I heard a really nice Steak dinner in the Philippines is about 100 USD for one person. That would coast me 700 a week to eat there lmao.

    I was sitting in my condo during the pandemic when it hit me: I can never afford to retire where I was.
    While browsing youtube I came across a couple expat channels and sat down and worked out the numbers.
    Took a year and sold as much as I could. Booked a ticket abroad and have not been back since. It was a great decision but my friends and family thought I was crazy (truthfully I did at times as well).
    Great choice in the end and has really changed my perspective on life.

    I couldn't have crystalized that statement more eloquently, "I stepped off the airplane, and I was reborn" !!!
    This transformation happened to me in the same profound way :)
    I stepped off the Airplane in Ninoy Aquino, and the warm, beautifully humid air, and in a nanosecond, It felt like some dream world I didn't want to wake up from !
    Moving to Cebu 2 years ago has been akin to James Hilton's "Lost Horizon" utopia "Shangri-La"... "There is a Heaven on Earth for me, and this is it"...
    I had to go back to the mainland a few times to tighten up a few loose ends before permanently moving here, and every time the airplane would leave the runway at Mactan, I would start crying watching God's most precious country dissipate through the clouds below :(
    The wonderful stewardess at Philippine Airlines would ask me if I was ok, and had to confess, I was just merely heartbroken that I had to leave, even knowing I would be back shortly :(
    There's an old proverb, "There are 2 lives for everyone, and the second one starts when you realize you only have one"...
    I found my second life right here in "Shangri-La" :)

My next chore is to get rid of all the knick-knacks I've collected over the years, and lastly, I'll be shredding all of the junk mail and bills/correspondence that I've kept over the years. It's amazing how many things I have that I haven't seen or used or worn for years. The only thing of sentimental value I have will be old photos, which I will box up and leave with a relative. My goal is to leave with one large suitcase, one carry-on, and one backpack. I have no doubt that "declutterizing" and minimizing my possessions will be liberating.

      Don't fly into Manila and think that's what the entire nation is like. Get out of there and go visit a variety of places. You can find some lovely ladies who are tour guides or you can do some internet searching on your own. Unless you are just intent on living in a major city, then you'll need to go out to the less travelled areas.
