Bro. I'm a Puerto Rican living in Dumaguete, retired Army veteran I'm from the South Bronx New York City, been here 4 years now. Glad to see a fellow brother.
Living in the US is dangerous, in schools, in malls everywhere you go have mass shooting, dirty cities everywhere you go is so filthy, lots of druggist people, so terrifying; we should copy like Philippines over protected… I love how they protect their country & people, no wonder why they are polite & discipline.
Yup go to the downtown San Francisco smell of weed in many places the hotels have locked their doors and you need employees to open for you so you can check in and get a key to open the entrance of hotel by yourself. Weed marijuana is destroying people. white Caucasian people legalized it they're the blame. Some hotels smells like weed and you become 2nd hand smoker just sniffing those odors. Selfishness of Americans. They don't care about others
I live in Dallas, TX and i don't even lock the door to my house or car, anyone can be a victim of crime. The Philippines is a 💩 hole compared to the worst places in Texas

American like you we appreciate it living in the Philippines... In the last Puerto Rico and Filipinas belonged to Spain untiil Spain sold PR and Filipinas to United States for 20 million bucks each...but Filipinas (Philippines) wanted independence from the U.S. while Puerto Rico remained under U.S. that's why Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.
Hello and thanks for the vlog about living in the Philippines as a PR. Just subbed btw. I am a Fil-Am myself, born in the Philippines and lived in the US most of my life but decided to return to the Philippines after I retired. I went back to the US once after I retired but right now, I don't want to go back even just for a visit. Good luck with your stay and I hope you succeed with your vlogging. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Peace!
Hi. I am also a PR retired veteran who made the life changing decision to retire in the Philippines. Getting a bank account started is ridiculously challenging, and so is getting internet service. I also like my rice with Puerto Rican flavor but finding the proper ingredients to make it happen is difficult. I am trying to teach my filipina how to cook it so that I can have the best of both Filipino and Puerto Rican cuisine.
Tainos (Indigenous or Native Puerto Ricans) do look similar to Native Filipinos and Native Americans (dark skin) 😊 I am a Puerto Rican / Latino American who gets mistaken as a Filipino a lot by my Filipino online friends. They ask me If I am Filipino and I say no I am actually Latino in real life 😊 The best part is there are many Filipinos living and working in Puerto Rico 😀🇵🇭💞🇵🇷🤙
Dud, America is the centre of the universe And don’t expect that the Philippines 🇵🇭 will become like America over night. This country is still transitioning and modernising. It will not happen tomorrow but it will happen. Buenas gracias, amigo.
Welcome to the Philippines! I too reside (mostly) in Davao City. I very much enjoyed listening to your observations, especially your noticing the number of security guards! Amazing, isn't it? My thought is that the heightened security is in part a preventive measure against squatting, which is very prevalent in this country. Absent security, people would likely "set up shop" in malls, offices and businesses. It's already an issue in residential areas. As you travel the country, I think you'll find the cost of food to be much less in Davao. Fruits and veggies are abundantly grown here, living in the shadow of Mt. Apo, a presently inactive volcano. And fish is also plentiful and cheap. Find a good "wet market" for best pricing. If you do move on to Singapore, be aware of much higher prices. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is a much more affordable alternative. Wishing you success in your journeys!
@OneDropEast1988 Mindanao, for the most parts don't have expressways, they have a main road that cuts through the provinces, and only a mini freeway, which I don't even consider a freeway.
Lol nice. Boricua. Tu sabe mi Gente. I lived out there too for a while. I felt weird being American and even more so being Puerto Rican in an Asian country so it's nice to know I wasn't the only one but I definitely want to go back, although I do miss my food a lot when I'm there. Their language is crazy because you pick up some of that Spanish in it, but it's still is very difficult to learn. Also the difference in culture about dating and women there is extremely different especially in our culture. He knows what I'm talking about LOL. Puerto Rican women are ultra difficult and masculine for no reason. They will pick a fight with you and they will try to wear the pants in the relationship and you're arguing all the time. Filipinas are nothing like that LOL
@Kristoferwitha_k lol, tell me about it, I was married two times, so I can relate. Learning tagalog and visaya is a process for sure, but I'm picking up, my wife is helping me with that.

@ManWithNoName-t2d Right now I'm on an extended tourist visa while I'm working on my 13A spousal visa. I just posted a video yesterday explaining the visa process. You're allowed to stay in the Philippines for up to three years as long as you stay current with your travel visa renewal.
They are stopping the 3 year tourist renewal and interviewing peeps after a year to steer you to the right visa. They are giving me time to get my NY birth certificate, but they made it clear I have to get my spouse visa by May '25 when I will have been here 1 year.
@ManWithNoName-t2d that's not true, the three year visa policy has not changed, the only thing that changed is that they removed the 6 month visa option, and they added stricter requirements to get a visa extension.
