Why is the identity of the person who caused all of this being protected?

Hey world zoom are you ever going back to the Philippines any time soon?

Ur absolutely right. We bought some land too . I never hear from her family unless they want something from me. I'm outta here. I'm going back to the states.

This was an amusing video. I am well aware of and have seen many examples like this over decades in the Philippines. The culture has a unique relationship with the 'dead' than our culture. Part of this is a held belief that the person's soul is in limbo yet to be determined if on to heaven. That is why there is a tradition of daily prayer for the soul for a consecutive period of days following the passing. Another, is a belief not to leave the person alone at such time. Hence, the gambling and drinking activity. btw, the Majong playing can also serve as a fundraiser for the family where a percentage from every table goes to the family known as a 'tong' - I believe is right term. There is another gathering after 40 days have passed. Further, the celebration that is All Souls Day annually where if you visit a cemetery, family and friends are literally having graveside picnics with their deceased loved one. Its different and maybe we are not supposed to understand it. 🙂 Sorry for the length of explanation, but I thought important on the topic.

Paul are you back in the Philippines ? I can understand if you don't want to say after the trouble you had with other foreigner's.

My brother Mark can not stop talking about you , in private he brags about you getting jacked up because of his connections. But when asked on love stream he denies everything. My brother is a scumbag he owes me thousands of dollars

***Question*** Not to offend anyone, but as nice as the Philippines is, there are other places considering your situation. Have you considered Panama? Costa Rica? Colombia? And on and on? Even the D.R. has potential if you like the Caribbean. I did Guatemala and El Salvador a while back and I'd say overall, it was a B... maybe a B+. I'd be too sad for you if you were sentenced to live out all of your days within the 50 states. Just sayin... Still a big world out there. Really glad you're sticking with RUclips. Possible content topics are endless!!!! And you have the gift of gab!!! Best to you.

We like Florida however lucky so far ditched the hurricanes

Paul, two questions, doesn’t the body really reek a horrible odor after a day or two, or are they embalming it first before they leave it there for 9 days? Also, were you given “hall passes” to walk outside the BI detention center once in a while when you were there, to walk around the neighborhood?

It’s “Tradition”, in the Philippines the line it’s tradition we must do it is often used by people who want to eat and drink for free provided by someone who they think has the resources to pay for it and they expect it and will bad mouth the person if they don’t provide free food and drinks.

My wifes father just passed. 5% of the card and bingo winnings goes to the family to help defer funeral costs. Its also an opportunity for neighbor folks to convene and share memories. To me its a much happier way for friends and family to be with the decesed relative than any wake that i every went to in the USA.

i heard they rent dead bodys just to do a gambling session.

The purpose of setting gambling in funerals, is to raise money from the family to cover the high costs involved. People pay the family of the deceased for the gambling pleasue, so now it is clear why! A more funny thing is ,that in some places, professional gamblers, or private entrepreneurs, buy from the police a corpse of an unclaimed guy(mostly of a liquidated criminal) to display as a genuine wake in order to set a gambling space and earn good money. I knew a Chinese who requested the police to kill few gang members, because they robbed his sister. Then later he was told, that they(the police) made a good deal by selling the corpses to a medical school, that except the money they recieved as liquidation fee. There were cases when people for some reasons dug up the grave of a relative, just to find out the deceased looked the same(well preserved) as on it's death day, so they brought back to the house the coffin with the corpse to display the miracle of the eternal embalment(likely they were collecting donations for the show). If not for the alarmed health authorities, the body could remain in the house for an indefinite time.

I just arrived in BBK 9/26 coming from the Philippines, got stamped for a 60 day visa but, I was questioned where was I was going, was I coming with anyone, did I have friends here, how long was I’m staying. It was odd. I did have a Thai non -0 but let it expire last year. The officer seamed confused as to what to do. She called in the senior officer, he basically asked the same questions then asked for an onward ticket ( which I had) but in the end got stamped through. I was sweating bullets for a minute there. I’m an old white guy, maybe they flagged me for some reason or another. I also got question for my first Visa extension in the Philippines, had to be assessed and write down why i wanted to stay a second month, got it stamped with a letter stating I was not black listed or detriment to the country. Either I’m getting paranoid or they are becoming more strict into giving visa on arrivals or extending no mater what country you are in.

Thanks for featuring and talking about my city , my birthplace in Iloilo City , I really missed this city where I’ m now here in Japan residing for 29 yr s . And as I left the city … it’s really look a big different in just a decades and at the start of a milinium years .. if 2000 ‘s many things happened to be a big changed and considered as the cleanest city mas well the good are Gastronomy city of the country as UNESCO voted ! So great that I missed a lot but with the help of mass media nowadays and bloggers it help ease my nostalgia upon watching every features ! It was my home area of district where I leave that had been well develop now ( Mandurriao - where Mega world. Bought the Fonestic run way for such business intention . Thank SALAMAT , I guess you have love to be this to promote your businesses! 🙏mcmorguia Japan 🇵🇭🇯🇵🙏

Around where I am it’s usually. 5 days snd the money goes to the family for burial

Functioning alcoholics at play. 😁

Better!!! Some outside footage (albeit from months ago during your time in detention). I am really interested to see where you are now and not just footage of you in front of a window or behind a steering wheel. Please can you do a 'walk and talk' video. Thanks.

Great footage in a bad situation! To my understanding, 10% ( often times more) of the winnings from the gambling goes to the family to help pay for the funeral expenses.

Seems weird to have a dead body in the house and even more so when it is more than a week. The Philippines sure is different than the USA

This is one of the reasons I snowbird between Florida and Cebu. When the oddities of one place are too much, I go to my other home and decompress. Wash, rinse, repeat

Nasty place (dirty)

gambling is a common practice at funerals in the Philippines as a way to honor the deceased and keep mourners awake

I left a comment, but deleted it. No point beating my head against the wall. I'm not going there anyway. Hope you got the heck out of Florida before the hurricane. Looking nasty there.

I think you found your nitch! You should visit detention centers around the World and try out different detention centers and youtube it 😂 (being sarcastic)

I witness a korean funeral back in the days stationed their koreans kept the body in the house many days after their party they buried the body on mountains facing east and sitting up Gaming in the Philippines is a pastime they bet on any From roosters cock fighting to Card games on the side of the streets drinking tagaury rum Many Asia countries gamble alot and buried the dead in different ways USA ways aren't always the norm Good video salamat adios

Maybe the gambling has a practical purpose....funeral expenses?? Necessity is the mother of invention.. .

Alot money gambling with cards

I experienced that once with ex gf

Quite disrespectful in my opinion

Filipino food seems bland dark appearance heavily salted, whereas Thai & Viet food pops with vibrant colors and taste of healthy impressions!

Do a walk around - voice over, so we get the same info, but change of scenery. Take care and good luck.

hi pual i see your views are going down now. Its hard to be a channel on the PH'S when you don't live there. I aso see you are making videos from the same room but claim to be moving around?. I think this channel will completely bomb soon if you dont find a new country to live in but then of coarse most people watch you because they like the PH'S.

if you are moving around the states then why are all your videos from the same room?

Hands-down Thailand, the way to go, Philippines supposedly English blah blah but wine. Their English is out of grade score camp handle in death conversations, Thailand is much more infrastructure, transportation, banking, credit card, usage, etc., etc. etc. you’re going to retire Thailand, the place to be.

Yeah bought a 71sq meters 100 yards to beach Jomteim with views of the sea and islands from my bedroom, living room etc. beautiful. 250k usd Tons of restaurants, 2 hours from Bangkok, food carts everywhere, golf etc. quality food and quality. Thai food way way above Philippines food which in most cases is so so. Cheaper and much easier to live in Thailand

Jollibee chicken 🍗 mmmmmmmmm

For long time living - retirement - I can’t deal with the language barrier in Thailand. It’s not just spoken - it’s all the forms and news etc all in Thai . I’m retired in Philippines in Cebu province and I love it. Although I am on social security receiving the max so money isn’t really an issue

I left Dumaguete Philippines for Hua Hin Thailand. My studio apartment in Dumaguete in your old crib was $425 I am paying $190 here but no pool or kitchen. I am less than ten minute walk to the beach. You can get a pretty decent place for $600

Haha! Isn’t the guy in the video blacklisted from both? 🎉🎉🎉

Good video Paul. I was one of the non clickers on Orlando. The name conjured up the thought of being dragged to Disney ( AGAIN ! ) 😂

With the 🇵🇭 -much easier to get an attractive Flipina-you need game-coin for the same Thai lady-mainly because almost double the population and the 🇵🇭 is so poor! Most older men in 🇹🇭 have much older Thais-unless the short timers however you need 💰 every day to keep her!

going try vietnam out applying for my 90 day visa

No real comparison.. Thailand

Thailand or PH, I’m always keeping climate change top of mind. With all of the extreme weather the world will be experiencing I’m staying away from beachfront & flood sensitive areas. I’m about 65 now and if weather events get more and more severe I’m not interested in starting all over at 80yrs old, if you get what I mean

I'm in the Philippines but we have all the western amenities like America where I live. As Paul knows, you get what you pay for here.😂

Paul, as much as I like you and your channel (I would actually like to spend some time one on one with you if you know what I mean!!!), this Thailand v Philippines debate has been done a gazillion times over. Also, you are going to have to get out and about as watching you sitting in front of a window is getting very boring. I feel your channel is slipping!!!
