Good interview Mark! He seems like a very nice man. Hopefully he will have a good life in the Philippines. Also, hope that his ex doesn't take half of his pension.
Hey Steve. We met at Ground Zero in July of this year. Great interview Mark and I remember Steve was such a nice guy. Thanks for sharing. Regards Adrian!
Hi Mark, Steve's a nice guy, very sensible and thinks about it before he answers and then his answer is very considered and logical. I like to think i am the same, after several years in the NZ Military and NZ Govt Ministry of Transport as a Highway Cop. I met my Filipina in NZ after my marriage broke down 27 years ago. We have a home at Sogod Cebu and i have no regrets being together with my Filipina wife whom i adore. We are currently in NZ and will be back permanently to the Philippines in the foreseeable future. Can't wait. Would love to meet Steve and you Mark one day. Bob. Veteran.
Great video Mark, not unlike all your videos. Great questioning. Wishing you all the best, God Bless. I hope Steve does not get taken to the cleaners, this seems to be the norm. Hopefully, one day soon I will be retired. I have been to the Philippines 6 times and I am married to a Filipina, I am not sure if we will retire to PH or not, but it is on the table. I Thank you, Steve, for your service, it can not be easy to be on the job for 29 years.
I think the Americans that retired in the Philippines adapt the friendliness of the Filipinos cuz I lived here in the US for a long time and I’m telling you it’s not a friendly country, when you say hi here you’re lucky if they say hi back to you!
I agree it's not real friendly in the US nowadays. Most people just ignore you and if you say hi to them they look at you like you're crazy or something lol
@@youngandfree93 it's sad really, can only really have a real convo with people older or the same age as me except my wife who's way younger but for sure attached to her phone/tick tok facebook etc etc
Rod, 'Amazing Philippines', and i are very close friends Mark and have been for several years. Curiously enough during my residency at Cebu (7 years) my closest friends were and still are generally American mostly Veterans. We are very close because we identify with each other and have the same values. Bob.
Most who retire in the Philippines were veterans specially those who were in the Navy and air force cause they were stationed in Subic or Clark Air Base.
Ugh. I hope that he had a solid prenup to protect his public employee pension... Although I wonder if maybe an alimony award in the USA is unenforceable out of country?
I think the driving problems in the Philippines is due to those Philippine drivers didn't have proper traffic driving training like we have in the US. That should be change now that lots of foreigners are living there. They should learn traffic regulations and it's time to have traffic lights on busy streets, for everybody's well being.
Aren't you fortunate that you have retired because of what's going on in the US today about Law Enforcement? There is one town here where all of the Police Officers left and quit the department.
Awesome video
Thank mark 🫵🏼👍🏼
Thank you 😊
I'm glad you had him on he seems like a pretty nice guy. He's got to have some more crazy stories about being a cop he could share with us

PI seems to be the place to go when men finally give up and say F it. Can’t blame them, watching the US deteriorating is a hard thing.
Good luck my friend, I'm retired Deputy from California. I did 38 Years, good luck to you.
I’m guessing he’s gonna
Lose half his pension to
His ex? No wonder he
Moved to the Philippines
32 years and counting for me….

Cool 👮♀️ officer.
Really great interview.
Thank you 😊
Fiero…..the first and only production fibreglass (can’t rust) body vehicle isn’t it?
They were a cool little car but under powered
Very nice man….Did he mention his age? Looks to be in great shape 😊

I wonder what the American equivalent to a Police General in the Philippines is.
Don't arrest anybody
Can you do the interviews facing the ocean?
No because the sun washes out the picture. I've tried it.
Why didn’t you interview that David bond guy last month?
Who's that? Never heard of him
