  • Let's enjoy this life. Less dramas and more love. I hear unhappy stories from vloggers about the Philippines almost everyday. If its that bad then I ask myself why are they still here.
    If anyone would like to support our channel please feel free to do so. Much appreciated.

    You want a posttive experience in the Philippines just get on a jeepney and pay for entire bus run for everyone who gets on and off. For the most part its less than 500 peso but to see this simple act of kindness you will see just how much you make a difference in there life.. 30 pesos is nothing to most westerns but will bring a smile to all the Filipino on the jeepney you will make friends for life if you do things like this act of kindness. Dont be that guy that treats them like a peasant you are a guest in there house treat them with respect.

I'm glad to have found both after a year or so of watching videos as they are the most aligned with what I'm looking for. Hoping to take a 6-12 months off work in the next year or two to try out living in the province (I'm still likely a long ways from retirement! But should be able to afford a decent trip)

    I've just discover your chnnel today and i've watched already you video about cost of living in province in the Philippines. I am living here also with my filipina girlfriend since 2 years and half. I completely agree with you regarding a monthly budget for a simple but happy life. I am spending around 300 additionnal $ because i support my family 's girlfriend. Regarding your video "Philippine life from province i agree that in Philippines we have an happy life if our attitude are right. Filipinos are really friendly. I am not also looking specially to meet other expats. Many are drinking like crazy and complain regularly about Philippines for things who are not true.

    I retired in the Philippines. My wife was originally from the Philippines. Now she suffers from Parkinson's disease and needs a lot of care. I couldn't find a place in Switzerland where she would be properly taken care of. We live in the Province. Where we live I don't meet many expats. In tourist spots I can see a lot of them. There's usually a small group of male expats with grossly inflated egos discussing how they can max what they can get out of some meager pensions, always paranoid of being scammed by Filippinos. Often they are surrounded by a group of young Filippinas who discuss among themselves. I cannot relate to that kind of mentality. I'm embarassed by these people thinking they might ruin our reputation among Filippinos.

But I've noticed almost all of them are basing their opinions on their experience in big or popular cities. Funny thing is, all the things they say about Manila or Cebu, worse can be said of Chicago, NYC, LA, etc.
    Realistically, I won't be wanting to leave any time soon.
