Kaya nga sabi mo good understanding about the phils. Kaya hinde pilipina ang pipiliin mo maging partner, ngayon lang gosto mo may kasama lang at makakaosap, bigla mo lang yan iiwan…chao as in good bye
@@Maryhilton-ws6ol you are so right. She said it. She do not chase… she attracts. When did that happen? After the rhinoplasty…..: have she forgotten how she looks like before… even our housemaid is prettier than her…..
Didn’t we see this love also with The other Philippine girl one also, what’s her name? Meljean Solon and the very lovely Am in Bangkok, or was it the Lao girl he learned to use UA-cam. I think everything is okay as long as your content is successful. But they do what they want. Who cares if they love or not. As long it is not our kid, we let them do their thing.
@@hansreubens6117 who said Tom was in a loving relationship with these girls they was friiends😳😡 ok the self centred one didnt work out do you mean the one who gets a cold and suddenly life has no meaning??? The one who said if your not healthy life has no meaning? Well lets hope karma dont bite, my mum was sick all her life, with a damaged heart but life had lots meaning, not in bed with sniffles feeling sorry for herself! Im glad he found lay with a mature brain and thinks before she spouts. Some just dont🤐 so dont try compare lay with barbie brains people. Yes hes met some lovely girls as friends not for him! 😮❤
@@Maryhilton-ws6olin the last few weeks i commented that, a beautiful one like Lay is very very rare to find nowadays.This two are meant for each other. To my judgement, Lay is a versatile person. So i always do really wish for the very best of Tom & Lay for their eternal love to each others.🙏👤❤️👤
I feel sad that you've had to defend your opinions like this! You both share a snapshot of your lives, which I enjoy, where ever you are in the world! Keep doing what you are doing, stay happy and travelling! 😊
I've been following Tom for quite a while after I found Roaming Hogan. I was extremely happy for him when he met Lay and could tell there was a spark between them from the very start. For someone to make hurtful comments and accusations is total BS. Tom and Lay don't let these keyboard goofballs get to you and keep living life the way that makes you both the happiest.......peace
Ask Filipinos from Visayas and Mindanao what they think of Manila and Luzon. They are not very complimentary. I've been here 26 years and travelled all over and Manila is not one of my favorite places. As Tom said you should come here to experience the culture. If you like overcrowded and busy expensive places then Manila is for you.
Tom & Lay are here to stay 🙌🏻 I'm actually looking forward to future travel videos from you both. Whether within the Philippines or overseas. Im here for the laughter and the chemistry between them. The thing is that many who believe Tom hates Filipino food have not watched the Roaming Hogan channel where he regularly hung out with locals and ate at local food places. He did not live in a Westernised bubble like most vloggers who are in the country for longer than a 14-30 day holiday. And just because they don't make videos on how they earn money does not mean they rely exclusively on UA-cam payments.
Thailand has many advantages over phillipines but the tourist areas are becoming over populated with long-term stay foreigners and loosing its tropical feeling.
You both handled this so well. I love how you don't call everyone a troll if they disagree with you. Also, many of us expats could go there and enjoy these meals for a reasonable price compared to our home land but most of us have to be careful with our spending if we decide to live there. I actually can understand why some would live there and not care about travel and leaning a new culture. They are going there because they might be retirement age and can't afford to enjoy a nice lifestyle in their home country. They want comfort and can get that there at a reasonable price. To each their own. Enjoy guys. You are a good couple to watch!
Kinda funny how so many ‘know it alls’ seem to know more about your life than yourselves. We probably see a fraction of your life on the channel and have no idea of the discussions you may or may not have had, or what financial position you’re in. I’m here to enjoy the content & support you guys on whatever road you travel down.
Don’t listen to these people, they hate themselves and their life and want everyone else miserable as well. You two are doing a great job and keep up with the great videos.😀
Tom, I can't believe some of the comments. I am like you, I lived 5 years in Bangkok and now 5 years in Philippines ( not including the pandemic) and the NUMBER 1 reason I am here is because of my GF! Thailand ( especially Bangkok my favourite city) is superior in many ways but I chose to live in San Juan La Union because of the beach , great bars , cafes etc ( you will love it here). The Filipino food is very mundane and boring to us foreigners, so here I source the food from all the shops that can satisfy my Foreign taste. We travel overseas a lot and avoid Manila like the plague. I UNDERSTAND YOU ENTIRELY. You can still maintain a relationship with Lay if she shares the same values and tastes like my gf- happy to travel overseas and eventually live back in my home country Australia. That was never going to be the case with your ex- she will always need to be close to her family, so your best move was to get out of that relationship!!! You two can and will make it work!
Hi Tom and Lay! Watching you from New Hampshire, USA!! Ignore the close minded comments and do you and enjoy! I have once worked in Manila for 2 years (resided in Cubao) and can relate to this video! I visited Cebu, Zamboanga, Leyte, and various provinces in Luzon. Thank you for sharing and God bless!
Every single video you and Lay make are great. I enjoy them! To all negative people out there, clean your own doorstep before trying to play god. Good job you guys 💪🏼sending love from Canada 🇨🇦
its weird cause Toms channel grew cause he was always honest. These people must be new to the channel because of Lay and do not know Tom at all and therefore, ironically do not know Lay lol
This two always deserved my watch time not only just once in every videos, as i love watching & support them when i have time, coz they always have their genuine talks & sharing good stories, beautiful sceneries, etc.etc. and i always don't skip watching ads as part of my love support for them.Take good care 😘😘
Hi guys. Aw click bait. You got me 😂 I have never and won’t leave a judge mental comment. I have no right to judge or tell anyone what to do. I personally have traveled across the U.S. . Mexico, Central America and several Caribbean countries. I love it. Great experience. Love what you guys are doing. Do it all. We don’t know your income and it’s not really up to us to know. If your lifestyle is affordable then it doesn’t matter. I’m rooting for you guys. Be well. Sorry this was so long. 😂God bless. 🙏🏽🏄🏽♂️👋🏽
So I missed a couple of videos cause I “have a life” and all these drama comments. 😂. Tom not liking Pinoy food is his own preference and right. I can’t stand local food in London and neither does the majority of the world. That’s our right. There are so many people in comments getting involved in Tom and Lai’s personal life, get your own life first. Love and peace 🙏. Tom and Lay, consider maybe living in Japan, if you want the Asian experience.
@@darthvader-rr27888 he's eaten a lot of carenderia food and not the freshly cooked Filipino food available in decent restaurants. Carenderia food are mostly cold and they are not delicious 😊
You know you’re moving up on you tube when you start having haters Go and travel Tom and Lay excited to see where you both explore next! Congrats on the 100k❤
In marriage or any relationship, it's important to remember that it's not all about one person. You have to make space for the other person, just like you would on the road to let another car pass. If you don't, there will be a collision.
Lay, i have a suggestion for you, would you consider doing home cooking for both of you? It is healthy, economical and very romantic/ intimate. and then go out to a restaurant during the weekend, would that ease the burden?
Well that escalated quickly, didn't it! Cutting comments but you know what Tom & Lay... Remember it is not your job to make everyone like you. It’s your job to live out your life and dreams with soul and purpose, good on you for doing that! And it is their job to do the same with their lives, and if they don’t, well… forget about those faceless keyboard warriors and simply get on with living your best life! 💥✌
All i can say for this content is * Tom & Lay's TRUE LOVE IS STRONGER THAN THE CHALLENGES * What a beautiful & interesting content from you two beautiful souls 👤❤️👤.
I have been to Thailand & the Philippines "long stays", Thailand wins my Vote because of the food, Transport links & convenience of getting things done. I once spent all day in a Bank in the Philippines just sort out some money.
One thing you must understand guys…you will always have the haters, because basically you’re in the public eye! Live the life you want to and Do Not be concerned with the haters, because their jealousy is boiling over like vomit…
As a pure Filipina who has spent half a month in Thailand, I agree with Tom's observations regarding the differences in food choices between Manila and Bangkok. Despite being Filipino, I sometimes encounter the same issue: when exploring Manila, the food options tend to be quite similar. In contrast, in Bangkok, you can enjoy a variety of delicious food even with just a small budget. In Manila, however, if you want high-quality food, you often need to dine at more upscale restaurants.
I'm not sure why you wasted your valuable time clarifying yourself to these folks who made unpleasant remarks, especially about you, Tom. You do not owe us an explanation. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I applaud your capacity to be calm in the face of such harsh criticism. You and Lay are cool and humble. That is what I admire about you two as well. Simply do whatever suits you both. Ignore negativity. Be cheerful and enjoy life to its fullest.
Lay you dont look happy. Your sparkle has gone a little.it seems like you eant to cry. Live can be tough if you might feel you are in a situation to do something you are not to sure about.😊
Good that you clarified everything. Sometimes there will be wrong interpretation. As a content creator it's challenging to foresee the comments and clarify the situation immediately in the first video.
Tom and Lay please live your lives. I see the love between you two and the way you communicate. I look forward to where ever you travel to. God Bless you both from a fan that is older than you both. My love to you. Edward Burrage,
In my own opinion , just ignore those miserable people, tell them, if they can't say something nice, learn how to keep it to themselves. I enjoyed you two. Ignored those close minded people . Cheers 🙏❤️🙏
Tom and Lay, its time you got jobs and settled down, you can stay here in Canada but no laying about okay? I can't support you guys for much longer in this roaming lifestyle. Let's pull up those boot laces and get to my place. Wal-Mart is looking for help. Last chance guys, don't make me come to Manila to find you. Daddy Lolo
Some people are so judgemental and so opinionated 😂 have been following Tom for a long time now, im just here to enjoy the vlogs and adventure this beautiful couple are on. Thank you both for sharing your guys journey so far.
I really enjoy your vlogs. You are a very authentic couple who are having adventures. Keep being yourselves. I hope to meet you two someday. I am coming to the Philippines in Sept.
These foolish people who talk crap about you is hilarious. You have done more and have seen more than most people will ever in there’s life. Congrats to Tom and Lay. Think you guys are intelligent enough to live together forever doing everything you’ve ever wanted to. I love the food critic part about Lay. Still laughing about it. Enjoy your life together. God bless you two ❤️
It really comes down to your personal preference regarding where you want to be based. If you're someone who loves bopping around islands, is impatient with misunderstandings, and enjoys chatting with locals all day, the Philippines is a good choice as everyone there speaks English so no language barrier. That's if language matters to you the most. However, if you appreciate the food, convenience, decent infrastructure, and don't mind being patient with misunderstandings or learning another language and culture, then countries such as Thailand would be ideal. Each to their own.
Love Tom and Lay channel ❤ so genuine with humorous down to earth Lay. You go guys travel and have fun. We are here supporting you and waiting for new videos everyday 😉 . Anyway, I'm missing Lay's amazing voice singing from Ireland trip 🇮🇪
Honestly, who cares what you guys think you should do or not. You guys just do what you want to do and makes you both happy. There will always be people out there trying to tear you down or apart. Why? Because they really want what you have and they can’t stand that they don’t. I look forward to watching your future channel “Tom, Lay, and family”. 🤙
Lay, your physical attributes and personality will make you an asset to any airline industry. Although the salary is mediocre, the benefits will allow you to travel far and wide. I also love your attitude about the illogical /negative comments. They're also entertaining and add to your numbers. See you in Thailand.
i had a youtube channel and i put out a ton of videos. A few people started thinking they knew me or were my friend. It got kind of creepy and i had videos up showing some of my gold and silver holdings and eventually i deleted the channel. I'm not either Tom or Lay's friend. I don't know them. I watch for information and entertainment purposes. Wish you both well.
Manila is very chaos place to be honest.I studied in Manila and worked before but its very difficult esp.rainy season.Transportation is the worst problem in Manila
I really enjoy your channel and I'm so amazed at how nosy some people are. Judgy and nosy. I just want to see what you're eating and where you're going. I know many Filipinos feel the same as you about the traffic and other issues with the PI, they just don't want to hear it from a foreigner.😂 Be you, do you, you're just honest and real. Ignore the sensitive haters. You two understand each other and that's all that matters. Looking forward to more travel and fun food videos❤❤
good morning guys from Detroit Michigan . USA. I have a recommendation, Perhaps you can live near Manila to avoid the overcrowded streets, but yet you can still go to Manila to get your needs. There are times of the day/weekends, when you can travel to Manila and the traffic is not so bad. Try Lebanese food sometimes..Maybe you will like it, God bless.
hi tom & lay,,i juz got thru watching your latest video and comments to justify your position , please remeber you guys dont owe anyone a living or explanation to justify your position ...ignore the keyboard warriors constantly badgering with negative comment. they are everywhere let them be..Please continue churning award winning videos for our entertainment & pleasure..., your videos are fun to watch realistic and humble and says well about you both. Dont be disheartened about the negative comments. Producing & vlogging daily is not easy and you guys are doing perfectly well. So carry on producing & entertaining us with your videos . Looking forward for the next award winning vided...cheers and god bless you both😊🙏
Everyone this is not a tv show it’s their opinions on where they tour. They are a cute couple! You think they are going to show every second of what they do,lol. Sad to see some of your negative comments on their relationship. They are showing and giving you opinions on their experiences on their travels. Love watching Tom and Lay keep sending out your views on places you travel and the different foods you eat!
@Tom & Lay What you and Lay talked about Tom is true,coz there was alot of negative comments and people being hard on you both,coz i did actually read alot of them haha.. Anyway you both do what is best for yourself's and not worry what other's think. And i agree with you Tom if your living back home the weather dose get you down,coz in Ireland/Northern Ireland there's to much gloomy day's and being stuck in the house always drives you up the wall and you can't do anything either. And for Manila yes the bloody traffic is horrendous,coz i have experienced that so many times here. Hope to bump into you both before I go back home again.🙏
JUST KEEP ENJOYING & DOING THE THINGS YOU'RE DOING TOM & LAY , YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE CRITICS OR JEALOUS PPL OR TROLLS. YOU CAN'T BE EXPECTED TO LIKE ALL FILIPINA CUISINE . I LIKE LECHON , BUT HATE BALUT , WE ALL HAVE DIFF TASTE. ENJOY LIFE & WHILE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TRAVEL , ENJOY GUYS
I just find it hard to believe that one can make so much money on UA-cam and have such a wonderful live. I can work all year and just carve out a 2 week budget vacation on a beach in Mexico. So money must be really good. Keep going 😊
I agree much what you both are talking about staying in Philippines. Beyond what you are showing on youtube is just a piece of your daily encounter together. So just go on Tom and Lay and have fun together while you can.
I have missed a month or so of your posts. Honestly I got bored with the Ireland trip (so I get it Lay) and I have also started my latest trip; 8 months touring SE Asia. I am in Ubud Bali Indonesia at the moment and will be here until I head to Singapore sometime in December. I travel like you Tom, to immerse myself in the local food and culture. People are stunned when I tell them I am not interested in ATV rides or volcano treks! 😂 I am not interested in dropping $400 usd in a resort drinking myself into a stupor when $400 a MONTH pays for my housing. Is it because I am broke? No, it is because it just doesn’t make good sense. I am not on “vacation” when I travel…I am living my life! Cheers to you two! I get it!
Hey Tom, I have visited the Philippines 2 times this year, coming from New Zealand population about 5 million Manila is a whole different world, I love it to visit but could not stay long term, you guys enjoy your travels. 😊
I enjoy your authentic videos. You both are really cool people. What i don't get is the people that assume that they know you in a 30 minute video, which is what lay said is such a small portion of your life. Where ever you end up I will watch, 2 real people trying to figure it out. F the stupid people who hide behind their keyboards because their life is so small. KEEP BEING YOU, IT IS AWESOME.
Why eat in the expensive restaurant, people think eating in the expensive restaurant is rich and lots of money, being wise to live is important and wise...as long as you are comportable with each other,dont care other people think...
Forget the negativity from these group of commenters , you both are doing great! The negative comments are just a bunch of people who always assumes things they feel is likely to happen. Me , I'm enjoying every one of your bloggs ...and i see good things coming. Keep doing what you're both doing! Snacker , you keep snacking ...n Tom , just do what you're doing and keeping her happy ...cheers guys!
Wow they think your broke??? Wtf back in the Philippines again ?? All I keep thinking is Wheres all the money come from?? You tube? Pays that much ?? Do you work online tom?? And I spent a year in the Philippines when I married my fillpina I no the costs we ate in karenderya's alot!! Even stayed in symfoni Nichols in Guadalupe 😉 after a certain recommendation
I've travelled all over also and Manila is way down on the list of great cities. The islands are fantastic. The people are great but you're right the food is not good with the exception of a few dishes. love your videos. keep it up.
Sounds like I would not like living in Manila either….the congestion and the inconvenience. I agree…Thailand is the better place to relocate to. Check out and consider Koh Samui (Mae Nam area)/Prachuap Khiri Khan/Nakhon Phanom/Udon Thani/etc… Your graciousness towards your Subs/audience is refreshing. What is your vocation, Tom?
Screw the haters like the mold that they are. I love your and Lays' channel. I also understand your opinions on the traffic and efficiency in Manila. I hope that you and Lay can find a place to settle down and be happy. Keep the videos coming everyone that has a brain likes them.
SOme people have not traveled far and wide and have not experienced other countries and culture so they say what they say. I was born in Manila, raised in the province, got my college degree in Manila, traveled to different countries, I live more than 60 % of my life away from the Philippines. My husband and I were hoping to spend half a year of our retired life in the Philippines but NOT in Manila. I actually looking at the Visayas like Iloilo. It's so true about Manila, so crowded and traffic and takes a day to travel to find what you want. Don't mind the comments Tom....you do you.
I’ve noticed this on most Utuber channels. It seems that there are people who just talk a lot of shit. I’m sure they are lonely dip shits living in their parents house too fearful to get out and see the world. You guys live your life.
I admire Tom’s honesty unlike other foreign you tubers in the Philippines who cower to huge Filipino viewers. Honesty will set you free. You won’t have to lie to cover another lie. Just keep it honest.
Go have fun and you will always receive hateful comments no matter what. I was even reading some of them on Jean's channel today which you have not been part of for over 1 year.
I was watching tom.long Time we really DNT know why him and mj broke but thing they did and its their business now tom is with this young lady what ever happens between them its their business tom is on you tube make Money his girlfriend needs start a you tube channel because rhere have some type money comeing in for her she has family and she aslo has her self and females needs money one way or other but i wish tom and lay Good luck
Me personally I would not suggest going to Mexico or Columbia because of the cartel situation it is not safe at the moment. In my opinion I could see you both settling down either in Thailand or a different part of the Philippines.
I really like you two as a couple and it has been very clear from early on how you really like each other; Lay is clearly very smart and I think her intellect and humour have been a good match for Tom and there is also the similarities in culture between Ireland and the Philippines which helps. I am grateful for the entertainment you give us as I enjoy the combination of you showing us places, food and experiences in conjunction with the interplay between you both which is both sweet and humorous. For me your sharing that should not then lead to judgement and presumptions about your motivations etc. I can see you both have good hearts and look forward to seeing you continue together particularly travellling around. What Tom has been saying is simply keeping it real and Lay is a grown up, she can handle it. Sláinte and Tagay. (by the way I thought Lay saying adios at the end of the videos was a clue to future travel plans)
I'm from Philippines living in Canada and we went to Thailand and they have a better stuff there than my own country some of it. The food , the structure, the hospital. EMS is free. and not all people speak English but stillyou can manage. The rent are cheaper in some places. If something break they'll fix it right away and not to far to travel to look for it. Im sorry it's not that I don't like my country it's just some of it that I disagree. I dont like sweet food. ang customer service pa ay not much good. medjo pag aralin pa kung paano ang customer service gamitin. yong iba hindi marunong sa customer service.
Down to earth young couple with no non-sense talk. No fakeness, no forced sponsorship ads, no over the top cringy editing. Just food, travel and enjoying the simple things in life. That's why I love to watch your Vlogs, please do not change

@@darthvader-rr27888 he's eaten a lot of carenderia food and not the freshly cooked Filipino food available in decent restaurants. Carenderia food are mostly cold and they are not delicious 😊
Bottom line on the food situation would be to cook your own food that you want, and would be authentic being with Lay. True ?
You know you’re moving up on you tube when you start having haters
Go and travel Tom and Lay excited to see where you both explore next!
Congrats on the 100k❤
In marriage or any relationship, it's important to remember that it's not all about one person. You have to make space for the other person, just like you would on the road to let another car pass. If you don't, there will be a collision.
I love the Filipino people, but I was so unhappy living in Manila. It wasn't for me.
Lay, i have a suggestion for you, would you consider doing home cooking for both of you? It is healthy, economical and very romantic/ intimate. and then go out to a restaurant during the weekend, would that ease the burden?
Met them eat wherever they want.
Surprise surprise, reality is more complex than the media. Good on your guys for addressing it properly!
I follow the 2 of you for your experience and travels. I have nothing negative to say. I thank you for your videos. I look forward to each one.
Well that escalated quickly, didn't it! Cutting comments but you know what Tom & Lay...
Remember it is not your job to make everyone like you. It’s your job to live out your life and dreams with soul and purpose, good on you for doing that! And it is their job to do the same with their lives, and if they don’t, well… forget about those faceless keyboard warriors and simply get on with living your best life! 💥✌
Thanks 🙏
Agree you can't please everyone just do what make you guys happy .
All i can say for this content is * Tom & Lay's TRUE LOVE IS STRONGER THAN THE CHALLENGES * What a beautiful & interesting content from you two beautiful souls 👤❤️👤.
Thanks 🙏
I have been to Thailand & the Philippines "long stays", Thailand wins my Vote because of the food, Transport links & convenience of getting things done.
I once spent all day in a Bank in the Philippines just sort out some money.
One thing you must understand guys…you will always have the haters, because basically you’re in the public eye! Live the life you want to and Do Not be concerned with the haters, because their jealousy is boiling over like vomit…
Liza is beautiful inside and out! You are both blessed to have found each other. Tom is also a good caring man. Cherish each other! Life’s short.
As a pure Filipina who has spent half a month in Thailand, I agree with Tom's observations regarding the differences in food choices between Manila and Bangkok. Despite being Filipino, I sometimes encounter the same issue: when exploring Manila, the food options tend to be quite similar. In contrast, in Bangkok, you can enjoy a variety of delicious food even with just a small budget. In Manila, however, if you want high-quality food, you often need to dine at more upscale restaurants.
Yes true
I'm not sure why you wasted your valuable time clarifying yourself to these folks who made unpleasant remarks, especially about you, Tom. You do not owe us an explanation. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I applaud your capacity to be calm in the face of such harsh criticism. You and Lay are cool and humble. That is what I admire about you two as well. Simply do whatever suits you both. Ignore negativity. Be cheerful and enjoy life to its fullest.
Lay you dont look happy. Your sparkle has gone a little.it seems like you eant to cry. Live can be tough if you might feel you are in a situation to do something you are not to sure about.😊
Good that you clarified everything. Sometimes there will be wrong interpretation. As a content creator it's challenging to foresee the comments and clarify the situation immediately in the first video.
They're just passing down to both of you the negativity they're carrying in life. So do not allow them to project those negative vibes to you .
Your Right Ton,she cannot be just hanging herself on you,better she work and help you with the expense
Tom I recently watched all your Ireland Vlogs you and lay are perfect together enjoy your life together guys 👍
Thanks 🙏
Tom and Lay please live your lives. I see the love between you two and the way you communicate. I look forward to where ever you travel to. God Bless you both from a fan that is older than you both. My love to you. Edward Burrage,
In my own opinion , just ignore those miserable people, tell them, if they can't say something nice, learn how to keep it to themselves. I enjoyed you two. Ignored those close minded people . Cheers 🙏❤️🙏
Thanks 🙏
@@Tom-Lay ❤️❤️❤️
Seeing her smiling when shopping for cloths is great. Keep her happy, take her out shopping more.
lay is smart and logical, just like you. no drama, no whining in the camera- just straight to the point and that's why you both are great together
Tom and Lay, its time you got jobs and settled down, you can stay here in Canada but no laying about okay? I can't support you guys for much longer in this roaming lifestyle. Let's pull up those boot laces and get to my place. Wal-Mart is looking for help. Last chance guys, don't make me come to Manila to find you. Daddy Lolo
😅
Walmart sucks
@@jerryellman9950ikr...the worst of the worst! I refuse to shop at Walmart. They don’t pay their employees right.
Some people are so judgemental and so opinionated 😂 have been following Tom for a long time now, im just here to enjoy the vlogs and adventure this beautiful couple are on. Thank you both for sharing your guys journey so far.
Thanks
I really enjoy your vlogs. You are a very authentic couple who are having adventures. Keep being yourselves. I hope to meet you two someday. I am coming to the Philippines in Sept.
Ahh cool enjoy 😁
These foolish people who talk crap about you is hilarious. You have done more and have seen more than most people will ever in there’s life. Congrats to Tom and Lay. Think you guys are intelligent enough to live together forever doing everything you’ve ever wanted to. I love the food critic part about Lay. Still laughing about it. Enjoy your life together. God bless you two ❤️
Thanks 🙏
It really comes down to your personal preference regarding where you want to be based. If you're someone who loves bopping around islands, is impatient with misunderstandings, and enjoys chatting with locals all day, the Philippines is a good choice as everyone there speaks English so no language barrier. That's if language matters to you the most. However, if you appreciate the food, convenience, decent infrastructure, and don't mind being patient with misunderstandings or learning another language and culture, then countries such as Thailand would be ideal. Each to their own.
It’s hard to eat well when you’re having trouble financially. Best to save up and eat well once or twice a month.
Tom, how do you live? I mean, where do you get your money from? Because a channel with 9,000 subscribers doesn't make much money.
Love Tom and Lay channel ❤
so genuine with humorous down to earth Lay. You go guys travel and have fun. We are here supporting you and waiting for new videos everyday 😉 . Anyway, I'm missing Lay's amazing voice singing from Ireland trip 🇮🇪
Honestly, who cares what you guys think you should do or not. You guys just do what you want to do and makes you both happy. There will always be people out there trying to tear you down or apart. Why? Because they really want what you have and they can’t stand that they don’t. I look forward to watching your future channel “Tom, Lay, and family”. 🤙
Go go go Tom and Lay! I enjoy being with you in your travels through your videos❤❤❤
Lay, your physical attributes and personality will make you an asset to any airline industry. Although the salary is mediocre, the benefits will allow you to travel far and wide. I also love your attitude about the illogical /negative comments. They're also entertaining and add to your numbers. See you in Thailand.
i had a youtube channel and i put out a ton of videos. A few people started thinking they knew me or were my friend. It got kind of creepy and i had videos up showing some of my gold and silver holdings and eventually i deleted the channel. I'm not either Tom or Lay's friend. I don't know them. I watch for information and entertainment purposes. Wish you both well.
Thanks 🙏
Good for you guys , do what ever you damn well want !
If it’s incovenient and uncomfortable, get out. Manila does not change for you. The affirmative action is leave !
Why do you keep staying there ?
Correct
Coz it’s cheaper actually it makes u wonder how these 2 survived with no jobs 🤣🤣
I have to admit , as a 6ft 2 adult male , I had tears in my eyes when I read the title of your video, and saw the still image .
Manila is very chaos place to be honest.I studied in Manila and worked before but its very difficult esp.rainy season.Transportation is the worst problem in Manila
I really enjoy your channel and I'm so amazed at how nosy some people are. Judgy and nosy. I just want to see what you're eating and where you're going.
I know many Filipinos feel the same as you about the traffic and other issues with the PI, they just don't want to hear it from a foreigner.😂
Be you, do you, you're just honest and real. Ignore the sensitive haters. You two understand each other and that's all that matters.
Looking forward to more travel and fun food videos❤❤
good morning guys from Detroit Michigan . USA. I have a recommendation, Perhaps you can live near Manila to avoid the overcrowded streets, but yet you can still go to Manila to get your needs. There are times of the day/weekends, when you can travel to Manila and the traffic is not so bad. Try Lebanese food sometimes..Maybe you will like it, God bless.
Many people do not have the ability to travel! So keep doing what you love and have fun😊
Thanks 🙏
Your videos rock! Keeping doing what you love in your own way... and looking forward to more yummy foods, travels and videos! 😎💯
Thank you! Will do!
hi tom & lay,,i juz got thru watching your latest video and comments to justify your position , please remeber you guys dont owe anyone a living or explanation to justify your position ...ignore the keyboard warriors constantly badgering with negative comment. they are everywhere let them be..Please continue churning award winning videos for our entertainment & pleasure..., your videos are fun to watch realistic and humble and says well about you both. Dont be disheartened about the negative comments. Producing & vlogging daily is not easy and you guys are doing perfectly well. So carry on producing & entertaining us with your videos . Looking forward for the next award winning vided...cheers and god bless you both😊🙏
Thanks 🙏
Everyone this is not a tv show it’s their opinions on where they tour. They are a cute couple! You think they are going to show every second of what they do,lol. Sad to see some of your negative comments on their relationship. They are showing and giving you opinions on their experiences on their travels. Love watching Tom and Lay keep sending out your views on places you travel and the different foods you eat!
@Tom & Lay What you and Lay talked about Tom is true,coz there was alot of negative comments and people being hard on you both,coz i did actually read alot of them haha..
Anyway you both do what is best for yourself's and not worry what other's think.
And i agree with you Tom if your living back home the weather dose get you down,coz in Ireland/Northern Ireland there's to much gloomy day's and being stuck in the house always drives you up the wall and you can't do anything either.
And for Manila yes the bloody traffic is horrendous,coz i have experienced that so many times here.
Hope to bump into you both before I go back home again.🙏
JUST KEEP ENJOYING & DOING THE THINGS YOU'RE DOING TOM & LAY , YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE CRITICS OR JEALOUS PPL OR TROLLS. YOU CAN'T BE EXPECTED TO LIKE ALL FILIPINA CUISINE . I LIKE LECHON , BUT HATE BALUT , WE ALL HAVE DIFF TASTE. ENJOY LIFE & WHILE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TRAVEL , ENJOY GUYS
Thanks 🙏
Dont listen too anyone tom and lay go with your hearts always ❤
I just find it hard to believe that one can make so much money on UA-cam and have such a wonderful live. I can work all year and just carve out a 2 week budget vacation on a beach in Mexico. So money must be really good. Keep going 😊
I agree much what you both are talking about staying in Philippines. Beyond what you are showing on youtube is just a piece of your daily encounter together. So just go on Tom and Lay and have fun together while you can.
I have missed a month or so of your posts. Honestly I got bored with the Ireland trip (so I get it Lay) and I have also started my latest trip; 8 months touring SE Asia. I am in Ubud Bali Indonesia at the moment and will be here until I head to Singapore sometime in December. I travel like you Tom, to immerse myself in the local food and culture. People are stunned when I tell them I am not interested in ATV rides or volcano treks! 😂
I am not interested in dropping $400 usd in a resort drinking myself into a stupor when $400 a MONTH pays for my housing. Is it because I am broke? No, it is because it just doesn’t make good sense. I am not on “vacation” when I travel…I am living my life!
Cheers to you two! I get it!
Another nice vlog from the beautiful couple! You both seem perfectly matched for each other ❤
Keep keeping it real 👍🏼
Thanks 🙏
Hey Tom, I have visited the Philippines 2 times this year, coming from New Zealand population about 5 million Manila is a whole different world, I love it to visit but could not stay long term, you guys enjoy your travels. 😊
I enjoy your authentic videos. You both are really cool people. What i don't get is the people that assume that they know you in a 30 minute video, which is what lay said is such a small portion of your life. Where ever you end up I will watch, 2 real people trying to figure it out. F the stupid people who hide behind their keyboards because their life is so small. KEEP BEING YOU, IT IS AWESOME.
Thanks 🙏
Why eat in the expensive restaurant, people think eating in the expensive restaurant is rich and lots of money, being wise to live is important and wise...as long as you are comportable with each other,dont care other people think...
Exaxtky
Forget the negativity from these group of commenters , you both are doing great! The negative comments are just a bunch of people who always assumes things they feel is likely to happen. Me , I'm enjoying every one of your bloggs ...and i see good things coming. Keep doing what you're both doing! Snacker , you keep snacking ...n Tom , just do what you're doing and keeping her happy ...cheers guys!
Wow they think your broke??? Wtf back in the Philippines again ?? All I keep thinking is Wheres all the money come from?? You tube? Pays that much ?? Do you work online tom?? And I spent a year in the Philippines when I married my fillpina I no the costs we ate in karenderya's alot!! Even stayed in symfoni Nichols in Guadalupe 😉 after a certain recommendation
I've travelled all over also and Manila is way down on the list of great cities. The islands are fantastic. The people are great but you're right the food is not good with the exception of a few dishes. love your videos. keep it up.
Thanks 😁
Some of those comments are stupid. I think you 2 have a strong relationship and I enjoy watching your journey thanks guys
Thanks 🙏
Sounds like I would not like living in Manila either….the congestion and the inconvenience.
I agree…Thailand is the better place to relocate to.
Check out and consider Koh Samui (Mae Nam area)/Prachuap Khiri Khan/Nakhon Phanom/Udon Thani/etc…
Your graciousness towards your Subs/audience is refreshing.
What is your vocation, Tom?
Both of you should find the best place to live together. Be happy. Travel/explore/find the best place to settle down.
Screw the haters like the mold that they are. I love your and Lays' channel. I also understand your opinions on the traffic and efficiency in Manila. I hope that you and Lay can find a place to settle down and be happy. Keep the videos coming everyone that has a brain likes them.
Haha asking Tom if he's been to Palawan ????? I think its a time he'd like to forget , he was " stuck " there during the pandemic .. ..
Exactly 😅
Lay sister live in Ireland and I know most Filipina wanted to live abroad
SOme people have not traveled far and wide and have not experienced other countries and culture so they say what they say. I was born in Manila, raised in the province, got my college degree in Manila, traveled to different countries, I live more than 60 % of my life away from the Philippines. My husband and I were hoping to spend half a year of our retired life in the Philippines but NOT in Manila. I actually looking at the Visayas like Iloilo. It's so true about Manila, so crowded and traffic and takes a day to travel to find what you want. Don't mind the comments Tom....you do you.
My favorite part of your videos is when you try new foods and new places that sell food
I’ve noticed this on most Utuber channels. It seems that there are people who just talk a lot of shit. I’m sure they are lonely dip shits living in their parents house too fearful to get out and see the world. You guys live your life.
There's no way it can work. She's wearing blue and he's wearing black. And they both speak English with different accents.
😂
😂😂😂😂
I admire Tom’s honesty unlike other foreign you tubers in the Philippines who cower to huge Filipino viewers. Honesty will set you free. You won’t have to lie to cover another lie. Just keep it honest.
Thanks
Actually Philippines is not the country to get more viewers, you should get Indonesian and India viewers
You guys are great i love your channel. But PLEASE make another soloo Roaming Hogan drinking in the slums video 🙏🏻
Go have fun and you will always receive hateful comments no matter what. I was even reading some of them on Jean's channel today which you have not been part of for over 1 year.
i like lay better then your ex its not about her family everyday lay is very smart.
What
I was watching tom.long Time we really DNT know why him and mj broke but thing they did and its their business now tom is with this young lady what ever happens between them its their business tom is on you tube make Money his girlfriend needs start a you tube channel because rhere have some type money comeing in for her she has family and she aslo has her self and females needs money one way or other but i wish tom and lay Good luck
Me personally I would not suggest going to Mexico or Columbia because of the cartel situation it is not safe at the moment. In my opinion I could see you both settling down either in Thailand or a different part of the Philippines.
I really like you two as a couple and it has been very clear from early on how you really like each other; Lay is clearly very smart and I think her intellect and humour have been a good match for Tom and there is also the similarities in culture between Ireland and the Philippines which helps. I am grateful for the entertainment you give us as I enjoy the combination of you showing us places, food and experiences in conjunction with the interplay between you both which is both sweet and humorous. For me your sharing that should not then lead to judgement and presumptions about your motivations etc. I can see you both have good hearts and look forward to seeing you continue together particularly travellling around. What Tom has been saying is simply keeping it real and Lay is a grown up, she can handle it. Sláinte and Tagay. (by the way I thought Lay saying adios at the end of the videos was a clue to future travel plans)
I'm from Philippines living in Canada and we went to Thailand and they have a better stuff there than my own country some of it. The food , the structure, the hospital. EMS is free. and not all people speak English but stillyou can manage. The rent are cheaper in some places. If something break they'll fix it right away and not to far to travel to look for it. Im sorry it's not that I don't like my country it's just some of it that I disagree. I dont like sweet food. ang customer service pa ay not much good. medjo pag aralin pa kung paano ang customer service gamitin. yong iba hindi marunong sa customer service.
