Juells, sorry we didn't get to link up during my recent visit. Met Elvis at Critter Republic and he and Justin helped me achieve my dream of being in the waters of the Philippines . You raised a respectful and fine son...you must be a proud papa. Glad your health is progressing in the positive. I can't dive because of a rare lung disease, so I take what you say to heart. Wish you the best brother...maybe see you in November. Trying to put my retirement stuff in order.😊
Good seeing you Juells, you have some great kids. I always enjoy watching their adventures at Critter Republic. Take care of your health brother and just keep on, keeping on. God’s blessings to each of you.
Never give up! You're going to rebuild, plus add additional muscle! We may never know why God allowed you to get sick, the Holy Spirit's ways are not for us to always understand, but Jesus will be glorified through your life Jewles!
Thanks for your insight and knowledge. My dad and mom were born and raised in the PI. With a young family and a way to start a new life, Dad joined the US military and was stationed in the States. After retirement, he basically did what you’re doing: leave the US, build a home, but retire to his childhood town in the PI.. Unfortunately, while he was in the PI, he suffered a stroke and eventually moved back to the States where he was able to be better cared for. It’s been eight years since his passing. Who knows what his outcome would have been if he had the same experience in the States? But he lived his dream and I’m so glad he did. And since turning 60, I too, started to really reevaluate the whole OG situation… My mom still own the PI property and after watching yours and a few other channels, it has brought some interests so I thank you!
Thanks for the heads up as it is much appreciated! I am still in the "MATRIX" but trying to get to Dumaguete by summer. After arriving there I will be looking for a quality cardiologist and an endocrinologist. As one southern boy to another stay well!
Juells, so glad to hear from you man, and glad you are making progress on your health. The main reason I have not been to the Philippines is because I am getting thing a few things myself. I am trying to get my health better, and getting my money right. The plan is late summer or early fall 2025. Your trees are looking great, and looks like they will produce lots of great fruit. I Pray for you Brother. Since I don’t live there yet, I can’t help you with any suggestions, and yes the price is higher because of the skin tax. It will be that way, and I expect that, even though I don’t like it. Gods Blessings to you and your Family. I am not from the South, but in my part of the country, we live and work like the way of life you talk about. Very conservative, and very humble, and we are often called the North Country Hillbillies. I hope that we meet some day, as I waited late to Make the move at 70 this fall, but my LDR Filipina Wife to be is 61, so I am happy with my future.😊
If you can't say anything good, don't say it at all, right? But I will say about sending $ from the USA to a Filipina, "you have been warned by all the vloggers not to do that" & "I told you so"
Good afternoon/ morning from New Orleans. I am from Charleston SC. I am glad you are doing well. I was watching your kids on Critter r so glad you are doing well. You got this brother
You probably heard this ,however i'll mention it milk thistle for the liver...the diving for your children is cool..however its a hobby...HEALTH SHOULD BE PRIORITY.. .ONWARD ON THE JOURNEY...PRIORITIZE YOUR HEALTH.
Elvis and princess are paying for all their gear and courses by working it off and yes Tech diving is very high paying jobs.He already has several offers,but makes good money at critter. Yes without ur health ur nothing
Best wishes and hope you get your health issues sorted. Your situation is THE ONLY reason my wife and I decided not to move to Dumaguete. We're in our mid to late 60s and major issues are dealt with for free in OZ. Good luck Bro
I agree with you, Juells. Everyone should have a fairly large emergency fund set aside, just for these types of situations. Every time I mention it to my Wife, though, she gets all gloomy and sad 😢 At least we’re realists about these things? Now if we could just get our Pinays on board? 😂🤣 Hope to see you in September 🙏
I feel for you Juells. Where I'm at : Too old to get (close to affordable) insurance. Going to the U S for medical. Likely will add up to BIG bucks. Plane, waiting for appointment(s), Living expenses. etc.... even with medicare. Big fear here. Using all your cash for medical , and ending up in the public hospital.
Juells when did you notice your liver condition? I mean to say has it been a year as I don’t remember you having a liver issue and I will add I’m so sorry because I remember you being in the hospital with that condition where you could barely move. I want to put you in my prayers tonight sir….
My 33 year old daughter got food poisoning from chicken intestines while visiting us here in the Philippines and then when she went back to the US came down with what you had (GBS) after about week and thank god she has recovered now.
Spot on Man 1 year ago I had a fall, dislocated both shoulders,well traveled to Davao,Cebu, Surigao ( because of location) spent a lot of money traveling around to find a Good Surgeon made a decision and went with a doc in Cebu,the cost of renting a condo, therapy someone to watch the kids back in Dinagat Islands,long story short Well over 1 million and am not so pleased with the outcome. So to All it is not easy to find a good Doctor.We are not in Kansas anymore,sorry my humor is a tad off Anyway Thanks for your vlog.Keep up the Good Work! Peace out!
The healthcare in Philippines are kind of spotty and wonky. Depending of the economy of the island u are on. Many expats seems to ignore or forget that Philippines is 7000 islands and many of them DONT have a major hospital and only a small rural clinic until its to late. I go over to Thailand 1 time a year for full complete medical checkup cost about 80 $ with alot of comprehensive lab test papers and doctor and no insurance is needed u pay cash. Thai healthcare is ranked 5 th in the world..the Us is ranked 13 place and phillipines is on place 40. I seen over the years that many AMERICANS seems to have a aversion to visit healtcare and doctors and get simple cheap regular healthcheckups in se-asia ..and often wait until it starts to hurt or are to late.
I agree with you it’s hard here when things go bad with health issues. And I agree about driving here these are things that are hard to get used to . Wishing the best for you and your family .😊
I'm Pinay from vegas, and I know tha Philippines business is scum, example selling those land in the provice is over price, just because they know foriegner has dollar, it's so sad.
I had to subscribe again because UA-cam unsubscribe’s without any warning it’s happening to other people as well. I haven’t seen you In months so just letting your audience know they may have to hit the subscribe button again.
You may have not factored in just how corrupt, bureaucratic and dysfunctional American medical care has become. Look at the death rate here. Its true we have vast knowledge and the best machines but they will not be used properly on you. Id say that you are probably better off with a doctor there who will work hard on your behalf.
Julian didn't leave much on the table. He lived life pretty large and proud.
You are really the only honest ex pat you tuber out there….😊
Thank you very much.ITS THE WAY MY PARENTS RAISED ME.VERY NICE COMPLIMENT

Best of luck in everything you do. Your advice and experiences are very welcome.
Love the design of your house big porch open to pool. Great design😊

Where I'm at : Too old to get (close to affordable) insurance.
Going to the U S for medical. Likely will add up to BIG bucks. Plane, waiting for appointment(s), Living expenses. etc.... even with medicare.
Big fear here. Using all your cash for medical , and ending up in the public hospital.
I heard that
Go to Thailand. Medical care quality of a first world country.
Nice to see you my friend, make me smile take care
Glad to be of service
Speaking of driving, that’s my motto Bro……it’s better to get a-head than to get behind😉
Mark Thornton loves it from behind , ask the any young guy in Negros , they call Mark captain pin cushion
Juells when did you notice your liver condition? I mean to say has it been a year as I don’t remember you having a liver issue and I will add I’m so sorry because I remember you being in the hospital with that condition where you could barely move. I want to put you in my prayers tonight sir….
