When i first started watching Regular Guy, he was a bit overwhelming for my taste, but i returned to watch, and really developed an appreciation, and respect in him. 👍
Same. I thought he was a player, like that guy from Angeles who I didn’t enjoy watching. Turns out Scotty isn’t trying to bed every woman he meets, just acknowledges their beauty.
What Scotty says about, "Respect" is absolutely huge. If respect isn't given up front it's a huge turn off and i big red flag. These women here are generally very respectful.
Scotty has my full support. He shows me all of Philippines and has a quirky, at times comedic way to interact and express his opinion. The slander and accusations directed towards him from 2 American RUclipsrs and their followers is beyond disgusting and shameful. These people should be prosecuted, and investigated what they try to hide.
@@Regular_Guyph I think Omar lives out of his car.....................hahahahhahaha. He's tool, runs his pie hole, but when confronted walks away, goes to his car (home) and whines.
I watched a couple of youtube videos where they were attacking Scotty and felt it was pretty shallow and nothing that can't be found on endless other sites. I have no dog in this hunt but couldn't find anything that got me upset or outraged. Scotty's videos are entertaining and educational at the same time.
I am a Scotty fan, but to be honest, he did have a couple of drunken live streams at Phillies in Angeles that he took down. He didn't do or say anything that hadn't been said by thousands of guys before him that were drunk and out having a good time. The difference was that he was filming a live video at the time. A lot of comments were begging him to stop and others encouraging him to continue. It really just played right into the hands of those self-righteous and sanctimonious youtube channels that live off of being haters and outright Karen's.
The regular guy is so right in many things, that's why I follow this personality guy. End of this year, I will follow his steps and go on an investment visa to the Philippines. Learned a lot from him...
Scotty hang in there honey. There are plenty of mean spirited vloggers that have no agendas other than trashing their fellow humans. Love your videos. Love your personality. Keep being you. ❤
If he didn't talk like the women there were supposed to be used, I could appreciate some of what he brings. I wouldn't know of Malaybalay if it wasn't for him but that doesn't mean I can respect him. He has to mature first.
North American men are often like a bunch of old women. Look at the vlogging scene in Thailand, most people just get on with their own channels. Why? The Westerners who go there are usually European whereas the Philippines is mostly Americans.
@@TitB1199 @TitB1199 Speaking as an American who was raised by his father, I am in a position to know why your statement is at least partly accurate. The women here have disrespected their husbands to the point that the men leave them with the children. This is terrible for the children because the boys grow up to become women and the girls grow up to be modern feminists. The only good solution is to let the men raise the children when they part with the wife but the court isn't going to let us fix our society. They need to foster the upbringing of unstructured future criminals. Can you explain why you think Thailand is more for a manly man? BTW, how would you rate French men as compared to North American men? Are they not Western culture too?
This was a great talk, subject to understand perspective. When it comes to living in the Philippines, we have to assimilate to a certain point. Never give up Your better values.
Nice to see Scotty from a different point of view. It will be interesting to see who (if any) out of all the Filipinas available who he settles down with. I don't think he is quite ready yet as he is having too much fun. I was expecting pauses during the video to show off the baberoonies but then I remembered this was not a video by Scottyboy. (I did notice a few though) Keep doing more videos with him as it is helping you grow your channel immensely. This is your top video now as of Sep 2024.
Thanks I had a great time sitting down with him and filming it. Hopefully, you like my other videos as I have quite an extensive catalog of many varieties regarding expat lifestyles.
You have to understand that in the Philippines one of the worse insults there is is to call someone “Kuripot”, which means cheapskate. Being a cheapskate is an unforgivable sin, and nobody want to be with someone who is believed to be a cheapskate because it’s shameful, and will ruin their reputation. Do you get it? It’s the culture and you can’t judge someone from another culture in their own country by your culture.
If a woman asks you why you're so cheap it's a valid question. Why are you so cheap? You'll be a lonely man with lots of money. That sounds like a dreadful existence.
@@KC-in9pxdepends, if guy spends on his car a lot he is NOT cheap. He is wise guy as car will not take his house away. Spending a lot on 1 girl shows she is just gold digger
I am a resident of Malaybalay and I could tell you it's not cheaper. Went to Moalboal 2 weeks ago, great coffee latte @130 with presentation. Here? 170 on a to go disposable cup. Espresso/Americano 65/75 there while it's 150/160 here. And the quality isn't compromised and the ambiance is even better. Tablea (chocolate drink) is over a hundred for a pack when it's just 50+ down MisOr. Condo that's preselling is over 5M here whilst you can get 2M+ in Dumaguete. No thieves? So funny. Offices and stores are being robbed at night . Happened 1st quarter this year. Good luck.
@@expatlifestyle2000 I actually thought everything has gone overly expensive all over Ph, but no. Let's compare the food "pastil" in Kabacan vs here, it's 10 pesos there and 25 here. 🤷 I ate at some "karenderia" in Moalboal in the middle of the busy touristy area, I asked for half rice to be surprised that their serving of half rice is more than our serving of 1 rice here.
And again, I just have to reiterate. It's no longer safe here like it used to be. Do not leave your belongings unattended. People would enter stores/offices at night even with CCTV and even if it's near enforcement.
Wow. You are the only person I have heard talk like this. I wonder if people only tell me positive things because they want me to have a good impression...
Totally agree with the comment about expenses. I've been living in Thailand for the better part of the past 2 yrs and if you're not careful it can actually be quite expensive, albeit still less then when I was in the US
Just been over there last few weeks and so true !!!!! Allover Manila , CDO , Davao, Dumaguete , Oslob not one rude person nothing stolen whatsoever !!!!!! Safer than many if not most western cities these days !!! Compliment to the Philippines and btw same in Thailand just weeks beforehand !!!
Agreed. Obviously recommends being lax with personal security but if you mess up you have a good probability of being OK. Asia is great for polite, well-mannered people.
Canadians have found their hearts in CDO. The likes of Scotty, Kyle, Bret and other western culture looking for retirement places. Something in the place everything seems balance upon their taste. Malaybalay is a good one too. In Luzon probably Tagaytay and Baguio. Hope you find your sweet spot in Philippines Scott.👏🇵🇭
The interview was interesting, but what really caught my attention is all those light things in the background that were falling out of the sky constantly. I've seen them in other sites as well. What are those things?
Malaybalay looks really nice, and of course has some cooler weather and has some inexpensive options for rents, foods, etc. But as for cool weather there are many mid-size and smaller municipalities around Mindanao that have cool weather similiar to Baguio.
Well of course almost all the municipalities bordering Malaybalay. But also there's Claveria, there's Libonia which is close to CDO. But also there's Maragusan northeast of Davao, it looks beautiful online. How much time have you spent next door in Valencia? Is it pretty nice?
Thanks. I'll look those up. Everyone I talked to about valencia mentioned how it's to much concrete and they preferred malaybalay. With the festival going on I haven't explored outside a small part of the city yet. I'm sure ill get around to it though.
@@expatlifestyle2000 I'm sure you know this, but before checking out rural parts of Mindanao, you might ask at a PNP Station about the security situation on your route. I know that Marawi City had serious problems as late as 2017, and the rural parts near that city might not be advisable to visit. Good travels.
The rule for RUclips Vloggers is the vloggers with lots of viewers constantly get attacked by unsuccessful vloggers with not very many viewers. The mostly unknown vloggers do it to gain attention and gain viewers. They cannot do it in any other way. Sort of a form of jealousy that someone else has done what they cannot do successfully.
I met a Province Girl in Dalguete Cebu on a FB group (not a dating group ! 😂) and she video chatted with me often. When we started chatting she called me "sir". I said uou don't need to call me sir. She said it is just what we say to a man. I said it feels wierd. Shd said what do you want me to call you ? I aaid my name is John. She said "Okay Sir John " . I loved it. She took me on Jeepneys and motorcycle rides in video chats. Walking tours and even met her family. They freaked out at my long blond hair and blue eyes and long beard. It was a riot. I wanna come visit maybe leave Hawaii. Cool video. I like how people don't fear or get pissed off when you video them. Here people hate it. Aloha thanks again for the video. ❤
Happy to hear you made such a close connection from such a long distance. I'm still respectful where and when I film but the young people here jump into my shots all the time. They are very used to social media and use Facebook constantly. Make your plans and come check it out. It's great here!
I arrived early nineties in Bugo, CDO and travelled Mindanao intense. Bukidnon was very nice. Had my tent with me and spend lots of time ofthebeaten track, as it was not common at all. Setting a tent up near houses or just in the middle of nowhere. Nowadays Malaybalay, Valencia etc developt a lot. Ended up in Negros and lived there many years. Still always loved Mindanao...and could go around without meeting anerikano's for many weeks. That time was a little more tensed, but overall safe. Was in CDO and withnessed Sendong close at hand ..and saw many body bags that time. One of my more sad stories of the PH.
@@expatlifestyle2000 that was long before the cellphone era and the money lasted much longer. Beside more paved roads, fastfood etc. nowadays the rural areas has enough to offer. But not for everyone for sure...for me wildcamping is still number one to go around everywhere.
I'm an oddity by only owning 3 bags of possessions. My question is what if you would prefer to live somewhere else in the philippines or perhaps even another country. Do you want to pay to move all your stuff every time?
@@1307scooter hopefully dumaguete will be the right fit for you. Definitely check out my other videos. I have a pretty thorough showing of some other philippines locations on there.
Scotty Boy has found his place, his videos are (IMO) one of the best of all the Philippine vlogers. Hope he doesn’t change his style or format. These hate vlogers are small and insignificant and are just trying to increase their pathetically low view rate by using his name.
Lol I got stuck in that traffic jam in Malaybalay for that fiesta on my drive back to Davao. Thing is though you need to be there for the rain to really access. Unfortunately the rainfall is too excessive for my tastes. I am not from the UK.
@@expatlifestyle2000 this year might be abnormal because of el nino/la nina? I have been driving through that area since the 1990s. Typically Malaybalay receives 112 inches of rain annually at only 800m elevation versus 66 inches in Medellin Colombia at 1600m and 25 inches in Oaxaca at 1500m. One time I was on my motorcycle and was suffering hypothermia from being wet. I slept over at Pine Hills Hotel in Malaybalay and sat in a hot bath tub for an hour to warm up. I am back in Mexico again, which I think I prefer over the Philippines. I will be back in PI in June. I may know more about the Philippines than the vlogger you interviewed. I was there since year 1990. Lived in Philippines for ~27 or my 58 years. Been all over on a Suzuki Raider and Isuzu Croswind. I sold everything in 2019 and returned to North America.
Sounds like you have had quite the international life. I only lived in Mexico for a few months but the similarities are undeniable. I'm curious, why do you prefer Mexico?
@@expatlifestyle2000 to expound a bit, I already have residency in Mexico soon to convey to permanent residency card and soon after that citizenship. Can own land here in my own name. In Mexico I can find areas of no congestion, without need to go far up into muddy mountains in Philippines. Much more pleasant for relaxing drives where I do not see a house for 50 miles, e.g. Baja Sur. I actually prefer the (traditional, not restaurant/fast) food in Philippines though. Mainly Mexico because I do not trust what the Asians will do when the pandemic comes back again, which it will soon. Philippines seems wonderful but it wears you down after the years and decades, although it is much improved now, e.g. double-laned (widened) all the major roads since I was gone, but still Filipinos use the new right lane as a parking lot. Frustrations abound in the Philippines, although it is a delightful country in many ways. I am contemplating to have a retirement/vacation home there, but I dare not commit to living over there again until after the looming return of the aforementioned. Why do you think they mandated the national id. Because they will mandate something else soon. And I refuse to take those. My health is non-negotiable.
@@expatlifestyle2000 in short, you have about a year more to enjoy there and then you need to leave as I left in 2019. I tend to know what is going to happen. Because I do a lot of research. My mother took all the recommended despite my pleadings, now has Parkinson's. My ex's partner's mother did also and now has a brain tumor and caused her to go blind in one eye. I am not playing Russian roulette with needles.
@@expatlifestyle2000 suppose But how were you able to separate him from the street? You see it yourself, I think you just don’t want to talk about it:)))
If I didn't want to tell you, I just would say I don't want to tell you. 🤣 I did nothing except set up the camera at a good angle and we were seated in a good place. (Sans noise pollution)
Great outlook. A lot of fellas come out here with the main reason being women. I'm not one of them but I respect that he talks about it for those who want to know.
The reason why the girl brought her full 12 person family is that they see you as opportunity to get out of poverty or a ticket to America. I think any country with the poverty level like Philippines, you will find there similar desperation. If you go out of the big cities in the Philippines, you will find more of those who are desperate.
Been in the Philippines a couple of years. Life is different here. There was and is still a lot to adjust to. Ups and downs. Positives and negatives. Despite the hardships I'm still here. So, there must be some good here😀
Scotty, "Me as a Regular Guy...". Lol i see what he did there. 😆 And getting to know someone intellectually before dropping bones* is the way to go. Great interview!
This is my favorite video of yours so far. Thank you very much for your help and time. I have been thinking about retirement in the Philippines but not looking for Love or romance. I have been thinking about north west of Manila in the mountains. Just wondering if you have some advice about this area. Again thanks so much for your insight.
I'm glad it was helpful! I'll try to do some more interview style videos. I havnt been on that island very much so unfortunately i couldnt offer any information on that area.
Been pleasantly surprised more than I have been disappointed. I would never recommend it but I went on a drunken bar crawl by myself and left a lot of expensive camera equipment in a bar and walked away. A buy me drinky bar girl went through all the bars on the strip until she found and gave me my bag back. That was in the mid 1970s and I still think about it
@@expatlifestyle2000 no I got that I'm talking about when regular guy talked about the house area in the mountains where it's cooler what is that name of that City c a y a n e or something? Thank you
@gregmertz1202 the major city on the north side of Mindanao is called cagayan de oro. It's commonly abbreviated to CDO. Big city, not as cool weathered as the higher mountain areas on the island but it has ample Western amenities.
@@expatlifestyle2000 thank you so very much that's what I was looking for I couldn't understand the pronunciation in the video okay have a nice weekend
I had a taxi cab guy not turn his meter on, it was a short trip, and when I saw it I told him not to treat Forignen guys that way! He saie "I am so sorry, I will not do this again"! Thats in Cebu! Lovely people there
Malaybalay provincial capital of Bukidnon. Probably the best city in Bukidnon. Sayre highway runs through the city. There are well-kept areas and is quite pleasant. Upgrades required : Bus Terminal Gaisano needs a face-lift Malaybalay will never be an ExPat zone as it is far too small to offer extensive and varied services. Meanwhile Davao and Cebu have everything expats need
Scotty, I like the way you live and watching your vids...I hope I see you again sometime in the Philippines. Man you look relaxed so if you went back to Malaybalay...it must be great. Me too man im looking for the place to live there.
I stayed in Manila for awhile in the 80's in Ermita area on M.H.Del Pilar st . This was the heart of the red light district of Manila then. Lots of expats and assorted characters. Great times, great clubs, great restaurants. I remember Rosie Mexican restaurant and going to Rizal park and Gen MacArthur Blvd, and Barrio Fiesta restaurant. Loved the area, but I can tell you going outside to Quapo for example, well you better watch yourself! Manila was dangerous in those days!
@worldmikel he had a bunch of business to attend to and was receiving alot of nasty threats, so I assume he is taking a little break to handle his buisness. He is safe and sound last I heard of him.
@@expatlifestyle2000 There are only 2 expat channels I subscribe to, watch and recommend and both are in this video...... I'm not saying the others aren't good, truthfully I don't know since I don't watch them, but watching some old fart showing off his young wife, guys sitting around doing nothing in every video, those pretending everything is perfect there and screwed up everywhere else and the backstabbing drama guys are just old, repetitive and BORING to me..... Keep doing your thing and we'll keep watching
@@expatlifestyle2000 Thank you for your kind words, I tend to speak my mind, not malicious or hurtful, and sometimes it's taken the wrong way..... Keep up the great work Nate
I know it matters regarding respect and status. Also I have also seen a decrepit dude in his 70s creep out chick's in their late teens/early 20s by making romantic advances. Would it be more appropriate to say it matter less?
41 years in the culture....12 years living in Pinas. AGE MATTERS otherwise you'd see 65 year old pinoys with 30 or younger pinays lol . The ONLY reason you see 55 year plus puti's with 25 year old pinays is because of money. Security is a BIG emotional need for all women around the world ....the difference is that in the West the "bar" is WAY higher. Lets get real guys...AGE matters! and also for gods sake limit you gap to no more than 20-25 years. If you are 65 what the hell are you doing with a woman 40 years your junior! sick !
Malaybalay is not near a beach so it may be a bit safer from becoming a Dumaguete, Angeles, or Subic anytime soon. Scotty nailed it on the change after Duterte. Duterte was the leader that made it ok to be aggressive towards crime and not take it down lying and just let them have their way. Thanks for the share.
Been in PH for a week now, was in Manila for three days and a boy, maybe 14 tried to pickpocket me unsuccessfully, and there was a never ending line of scammers and beggars, but since leaving Luzon I have only had incredibly lovely interactions. Really loving the Visayas.
I am a fan of Scotty, one thing he said which is very true is the misconception of people thinking there are girls everywhere. I was there last year and I was sitting with a bunch of expats mostly Americans and they were all saying where are all the girls all these Vloggers were talking about? Rekay was saying and still says that you will have a date for every day of the week, lol. We couldn't find a date if our life depended on it in Dumaguete, even online dating sites were dead. Cebu was a little different, you will find girls to go out with you on a date but they are mostly looking for money, some tell you upfront and others will tell you afterwards like, my mother needs medicine. I think things have changed drastically just over last 3 years and finding, pay to play is easy but finding a girlfriend material or wife to be is very difficult. So my suggestion to anyone looking for that is to plan to live in PH for at least a year, maybe more and you have to be super active as well and you will have a good chance of finding the right girl.
Great interview guys ! Both of you are welcome to visit with myself...a Brit, and pamily, if ever you're up Pangasinan way (not far from Manaoag). Take care guys.
@kell7195 it's got a receiver that plugs into the c-type port on the cell phone. You can get it where multiple mics use the same port too. There is an issue with it though. It makes the phone so large that it can't be used with a gimble. Are you planning to get a set up to vlog or are you just curious?
😎👍🇺🇲 Scotty reminds me of the California Valley Girl speech.😏 He has is own style and like it or not. It's making Scotty popular. There's nothing offensive. Maybe slightly inappropriate at times but it's usually just slightly. The witch hunt seems unwarranted. Good luck Scotty. Life is a learning process. We can learn from our mistakes 😁 Cheers from the PNW Seattle WA area ✌️
@@TitB1199 Who said Black....where I come from in the South any city over 200,000 is way more dangerous than anywhere in Pinas ...do you live in Pinas? I have traveled all through the country for 40 years and have lived here for 12 ...what Regular Guy has said is generally correct but I would not go so far as to say that there is no crime. Americans get in trouble here with their loud mouths ....do NOT piss of a pinoy male because "saving face" is a BID DEAL here...if you beat him up ...he will will likely come back and do serious harm to you or kill you. That's the biggest threat here....being a loud mouth American like some of my fellow Americans
Left my iPhone in a taxi near Ayala Mall, and I told another taxi guy and he said, I know him and will call, 10 minutes and I had my iPhone back! What crime, there is none. 15 years, in Philippines and I 100 % agree with Scottie! Safer here then in the USA at night
I've had similar experiences in thailand and the philippines. I'll leave something and when I come back (sometimes days later) and they have it waiting for me.
@lesrafton2574 high of low 90s and low of high 60s here in malaybalay. The humidity makes it feel warmer though. Maybe a ten degree difference in feel.
Haven't had his dating experience at all (I live in Cebu). No girl has asked me for any money, many (most) of them are happy to pay for their own transportation and do dates that cost me 0 pesos. Also, it has been very easy to find quality, loyal, and supportive long term partners. Its almost every other girl you meet here. Great interview!
@@expatlifestyle2000 Ormoc was my same experience in Cebu city / province and Bohol, except even moreso. I am actually waiting for the time a filipino girl I date asks me to buy her something, or take her to X, or be nothing but frugal and supportive.
@@expatlifestyle2000 That interesting you had that experience in Mindanao. I haven't spent a lot of time there myself, but based on that fact there are less foreigners there than anywhere else, I would think the girls would be even more simple, loyal, frugal, and traditional.
Scotty's channel is pretty dope. His style of vlogging and his interviews are some of my favorite things to watch. It also seems like he likes putting people on which can't be said about a lot of RUclipsrs. That's how I started watching Ana and I how I just subscribed to this channel.
Cagayan de Oro, second city on mindanao (population/economically size-wise) after Davao city. In the northern coastal part on the northeastern quarter of Mindanao island. More a gateway towards other bisaya islands than ofcourse Davao area is in the far down southeast part of Mindanao. Davao area faces southwards the northly Moluccan parts of far eastern indonesia.
i found out in Serbia that the "where are we going" question was more about dressing appropriate for the situation than about money/spending. Also some girls do not want to go to a bar. Food for thought
Those were really well thought out questions ... thank you for that interview. I've been a subscriber to Scotty's channel from the start and find it highly entertaining and informative. He's a little different but in a good way. When I'm there in 2 years, I'll be sure to include a stay in CDO and Malaybalay as both cities sound wonderful. Thanks for a great video.
Two years is a longtime in the Philippines and things will surely change in that time. Remember these Vlogs are just a guide and someone's current perspective.
This Boya Mic sounds really good, and I am sure its much more afforable than the Rode and DJI one.. Could you tell me the model name? Oh and of course, nice interview, he was quite relaxed so you did a good job ;)
Scotty is right about so many things, it’s not cheap in the Philippines, and it’s not easy to find the girl of your dreams. He is right about the money thing, that drives me crazy, Filipina don’t hesitate to ask for money, I mean constantly. Don’t accept this unless she is living with you and she is giving something in return. I always said to girls I don’t send money unless you are with me, then I will support you. I am here a long time, and the way he has approached it, is the right way, he did it in a scooter, I did it with a car, more comfortable.
I did it using public transportation but after my lesson learned ill be getting wheels. Its just so hard to go odd places i want to go. Enjoy PI my man. Its a great time here. Especially in Malaybalay.
A couple of cautionary notes. If you happen to be in the Philippines during election time, there is a possibility you might become a kidnapping victim if you let your guard down. It usually involves a gang operation where they are stalking a potential victim to assess his vulnerability for a kidnapping. Once that is done, then a time and place is set for the kidnapping. The kidnappers will post the amount of money required in order to secure the release of a victim at the embassy representing the victim's country. The money is used to support a political candidate's campaign. Secondly, if a foreigner is susceptible to problems concerning sustained high heat conditions, he should choose a location in a more mountainous, cooler area to live in first and then choose a partner from that area.
Wow sounds serious. Thanks for the safety tip. Luckily I am still fat and it would take 4 filipino men to lift me if I just go limp. Also fortunately I am poor, so they will not be able to collect much for me.
Great interview! Dreams are what make life tolerable. Now that Scott is living his dream, I am curious on Scott's opinion on whether it has lived up to his expectations?
Wow, Giving people the impression that they can just leave their valuables out and nobody will steal them in the Philippines. This is absolutely crazy.
@@stevesilver7437 You get lots of poor advice from vloggers, I have been dealing with the Philippines for 20 years plus and never heard anyone say this, in fact most will give you safety tips. There is actually quite a few vloggers on youtube who have almost had their cameras grabbed while filming. It is fair to say most Filipinos are honest but especially as tourists you often are often targeted by criminals.
That was a very generous introduction. I can't get over how much importance is placed on trying to find something familiar in a place where you go to get away from the crap you couldn't stand. Try letting theses places stay the way they are. You try to ruin the culture.
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. - Steve Jobs
I got to like scotty a lot, he first came to my attention when he first arrived in the Philippines, I don’t follow expat RUclips Vloggers. Only because I have lived full time in the philippines since 2010. I already know what these guys try to educate us on, and I know more, but scotty by him traveling all over, he has learned what the true Philippines is about. Most expats don’t travel, they stay in one place. I have done what he has done, and more places beyond where he has gone, I have taken paid security with me in some places here , there is no way in hell you would go there alone. But your question on where an exist should live, food from back home, and excellent affordable accommodation, no brown outs, traffic is good, is Angeles City, it also has good hospitals and an international airport, only 2 hours from Manila. This is the best place to live along with Clark, which is like a suburb in the west.
You seem like you are a good source of info. I couldn't do AC personally. Ive never been but i know enough. To much of a concrete jungle for me, im sure.

A lot of comments were begging him to stop and others encouraging him to continue. It really just played right into the hands of those self-righteous and sanctimonious youtube channels that live off of being haters and outright Karen's.
@@lkabong5529 i certainly won't be casting the first stone...or any stones for that matter.
On these kinds of videos it is all based on assumptions and hearsay
@@lkabong5529Andy Omar is definitely a Karen. 😂
Scottster you always bring a fun and relatable spin to the conversation.
It's true.
He’s really just … well … a REGULAR guyyy!! (in my best impression) 😂
Scotty a great blogger also and both of you will be a success.
Thank you sir. I hope one day I will be.
The regular guy is so right in many things, that's why I follow this personality guy. End of this year, I will follow his steps and go on an investment visa to the Philippines. Learned a lot from him...
Idk if he is on an investment visa. I think he may be on the tourist visa.
Scotty hang in there honey. There are plenty of mean spirited vloggers that have no agendas other than trashing their fellow humans. Love your videos. Love your personality. Keep being you. ❤
he's quitting now. very sad!! :(
I love the positivity, Alana.
If he didn't talk like the women there were supposed to be used, I could appreciate some of what he brings. I wouldn't know of Malaybalay if it wasn't for him but that doesn't mean I can respect him. He has to mature first.
North American men are often like a bunch of old women. Look at the vlogging scene in Thailand, most people just get on with their own channels. Why? The Westerners who go there are usually European whereas the Philippines is mostly Americans.
@@TitB1199 @TitB1199 Speaking as an American who was raised by his father, I am in a position to know why your statement is at least partly accurate. The women here have disrespected their husbands to the point that the men leave them with the children. This is terrible for the children because the boys grow up to become women and the girls grow up to be modern feminists. The only good solution is to let the men raise the children when they part with the wife but the court isn't going to let us fix our society. They need to foster the upbringing of unstructured future criminals. Can you explain why you think Thailand is more for a manly man? BTW, how would you rate French men as compared to North American men? Are they not Western culture too?
This was a great talk, subject to understand perspective.
When it comes to living in the Philippines, we have to assimilate to a certain point. Never give up Your better values.
💯
grats on the subscriber bump!
Thanks, it been huge!
Nice to see Scotty from a different point of view. It will be interesting to see who (if any) out of all the Filipinas available who he settles down with. I don't think he is quite ready yet as he is having too much fun. I was expecting pauses during the video to show off the baberoonies but then I remembered this was not a video by Scottyboy. (I did notice a few though) Keep doing more videos with him as it is helping you grow your channel immensely. This is your top video now as of Sep 2024.
Thanks I had a great time sitting down with him and filming it. Hopefully, you like my other videos as I have quite an extensive catalog of many varieties regarding expat lifestyles.
If a woman said to me 'why are you so cheap?' that just answered in my getting to know that woman. I'll just walk away.
Pay attention to what people say and do if you want to understand people. No doubt.
Definitely a conversation ended - agree.
You have to understand that in the Philippines one of the worse insults there is is to call someone “Kuripot”, which means cheapskate. Being a cheapskate is an unforgivable sin, and nobody want to be with someone who is believed to be a cheapskate because it’s shameful, and will ruin their reputation. Do you get it? It’s the culture and you can’t judge someone from another culture in their own country by your culture.
If a woman asks you why you're so cheap it's a valid question. Why are you so cheap? You'll be a lonely man with lots of money. That sounds like a dreadful existence.
@@KC-in9pxdepends, if guy spends on his car a lot he is NOT cheap. He is wise guy as car will not take his house away. Spending a lot on 1 girl shows she is just gold digger
I am a resident of Malaybalay and I could tell you it's not cheaper. Went to Moalboal 2 weeks ago, great coffee latte @130 with presentation. Here? 170 on a to go disposable cup. Espresso/Americano 65/75 there while it's 150/160 here. And the quality isn't compromised and the ambiance is even better. Tablea (chocolate drink) is over a hundred for a pack when it's just 50+ down MisOr. Condo that's preselling is over 5M here whilst you can get 2M+ in Dumaguete. No thieves? So funny. Offices and stores are being robbed at night . Happened 1st quarter this year. Good luck.
Interesting info from a local. I guess we can only see so much from an outsiders perspective.
It is interesting to know and a super common misconception.
@@expatlifestyle2000 I actually thought everything has gone overly expensive all over Ph, but no. Let's compare the food "pastil" in Kabacan vs here, it's 10 pesos there and 25 here. 🤷
I ate at some "karenderia" in Moalboal in the middle of the busy touristy area, I asked for half rice to be surprised that their serving of half rice is more than our serving of 1 rice here.
And again, I just have to reiterate. It's no longer safe here like it used to be. Do not leave your belongings unattended. People would enter stores/offices at night even with CCTV and even if it's near enforcement.
Wow. You are the only person I have heard talk like this. I wonder if people only tell me positive things because they want me to have a good impression...
Totally agree with the comment about expenses. I've been living in Thailand for the better part of the past 2 yrs and if you're not careful it can actually be quite expensive, albeit still less then when I was in the US
The temptation to party in thailand is huge.
@@expatlifestyle2000 not even party, just regular everyday things can add up if not watching...partying can blow the budget out real quick, lol
Just been over there last few weeks and so true !!!!! Allover Manila , CDO , Davao, Dumaguete , Oslob not one rude person nothing stolen whatsoever !!!!!! Safer than many if not most western cities these days !!! Compliment to the Philippines and btw same in Thailand just weeks beforehand !!!
Agreed. Obviously recommends being lax with personal security but if you mess up you have a good probability of being OK. Asia is great for polite, well-mannered people.
So Malaybalay earned repeat visits. I hope to visit it myself. I'll be in Cebu in June.
It's pretty awesome here. I keep extending my stay after each positive experience.
Hello Scotty what's a decent hotel to stay in cebu ??
Canadians have found their hearts in CDO. The likes of Scotty, Kyle, Bret and other western culture looking for retirement places. Something in the place everything seems balance upon their taste. Malaybalay is a good one too. In Luzon probably Tagaytay and Baguio. Hope you find your sweet spot in Philippines Scott.👏🇵🇭
I'm in CDO enjoying some shopping and burger King now. Plenty of lovely places to hang our north American hats here I'm the islands.
The interview was interesting, but what really caught my attention is all those light things in the background that were falling out of the sky constantly. I've seen them in other sites as well. What are those things?
Little toys sold by vendors.
Generally they admire foreigners, anywhere in the country.
The local people have been very good to me and I find them to be admirable too. Respectful, strong families, and so much more...
Malaybalay looks really nice, and of course has some cooler weather and has some inexpensive options for rents, foods, etc.
But as for cool weather there are many mid-size and smaller municipalities around Mindanao that have cool weather similiar to Baguio.
Do you have any city names I should explore?
Well of course almost all the municipalities bordering Malaybalay. But also there's Claveria, there's Libonia which is close to CDO. But also there's Maragusan northeast of Davao, it looks beautiful online.
How much time have you spent next door in Valencia? Is it pretty nice?
Thanks. I'll look those up. Everyone I talked to about valencia mentioned how it's to much concrete and they preferred malaybalay. With the festival going on I haven't explored outside a small part of the city yet. I'm sure ill get around to it though.
@@expatlifestyle2000 I'm sure you know this, but before checking out rural parts of Mindanao, you might ask at a PNP Station about the security situation on your route.
I know that Marawi City had serious problems as late as 2017, and the rural parts near that city might not be advisable to visit.
Good travels.
The rule for RUclips Vloggers is the vloggers with lots of viewers constantly get attacked by unsuccessful vloggers with not very many viewers. The mostly unknown vloggers do it to gain attention and gain viewers. They cannot do it in any other way. Sort of a form of jealousy that someone else has done what they cannot do successfully.
Agreed. Luckily I'm a small channel so people will leave me alone. I hope....
I met a Province Girl in Dalguete Cebu on a FB group (not a dating group ! 😂) and she video chatted with me often. When we started chatting she called me "sir". I said uou don't need to call me sir. She said it is just what we say to a man. I said it feels wierd. Shd said what do you want me to call you ? I aaid my name is John. She said "Okay Sir John " . I loved it. She took me on Jeepneys and motorcycle rides in video chats. Walking tours and even met her family. They freaked out at my long blond hair and blue eyes and long beard. It was a riot. I wanna come visit maybe leave Hawaii. Cool video. I like how people don't fear or get pissed off when you video them. Here people hate it. Aloha thanks again for the video. ❤
Happy to hear you made such a close connection from such a long distance. I'm still respectful where and when I film but the young people here jump into my shots all the time. They are very used to social media and use Facebook constantly. Make your plans and come check it out. It's great here!
I arrived early nineties in Bugo, CDO and travelled Mindanao intense. Bukidnon was very nice. Had my tent with me and spend lots of time ofthebeaten track, as it was not common at all. Setting a tent up near houses or just in the middle of nowhere. Nowadays Malaybalay, Valencia etc developt a lot. Ended up in Negros and lived there many years. Still always loved Mindanao...and could go around without meeting anerikano's for many weeks.
That time was a little more tensed, but overall safe. Was in CDO and withnessed Sendong close at hand ..and saw many body bags that time. One of my more sad stories of the PH.
Wow. That seems like a wild adventure you had. I can't even fathom traveling around in a tent and without the convenience my cell phone provides me.
@@expatlifestyle2000 that was long before the cellphone era and the money lasted much longer.
Beside more paved roads, fastfood etc. nowadays the rural areas has enough to offer. But not for everyone for sure...for me wildcamping is still number one to go around everywhere.
I am moving to Dumaguete next month. I am burdened with all the things I am shipping. I just can't let some of my lifestyle go.
I'm an oddity by only owning 3 bags of possessions. My question is what if you would prefer to live somewhere else in the philippines or perhaps even another country. Do you want to pay to move all your stuff every time?
@@expatlifestyle2000 Once I find the perfect place I want to stay there for the rest of my life.
@@1307scooter hopefully dumaguete will be the right fit for you. Definitely check out my other videos. I have a pretty thorough showing of some other philippines locations on there.
Scotty Boy has found his place, his videos are (IMO) one of the best of all the Philippine vlogers. Hope he doesn’t change his style or format. These hate vlogers are small and insignificant and are just trying to increase their pathetically low view rate by using his name.
He is a unique personality and very intriguing. Shame anyone would mess with his happiness.
@@expatlifestyle2000totally agree!
Lol I got stuck in that traffic jam in Malaybalay for that fiesta on my drive back to Davao.
Thing is though you need to be there for the rain to really access. Unfortunately the rainfall is too excessive for my tastes. I am not from the UK.
We have needed rain here in malaybalay. Many peoples water sisterns are empty. 😞
@@expatlifestyle2000 this year might be abnormal because of el nino/la nina? I have been driving through that area since the 1990s. Typically Malaybalay receives 112 inches of rain annually at only 800m elevation versus 66 inches in Medellin Colombia at 1600m and 25 inches in Oaxaca at 1500m. One time I was on my motorcycle and was suffering hypothermia from being wet. I slept over at Pine Hills Hotel in Malaybalay and sat in a hot bath tub for an hour to warm up.
I am back in Mexico again, which I think I prefer over the Philippines. I will be back in PI in June.
I may know more about the Philippines than the vlogger you interviewed. I was there since year 1990. Lived in Philippines for ~27 or my 58 years. Been all over on a Suzuki Raider and Isuzu Croswind. I sold everything in 2019 and returned to North America.
Sounds like you have had quite the international life. I only lived in Mexico for a few months but the similarities are undeniable. I'm curious, why do you prefer Mexico?
@@expatlifestyle2000 to expound a bit, I already have residency in Mexico soon to convey to permanent residency card and soon after that citizenship. Can own land here in my own name. In Mexico I can find areas of no congestion, without need to go far up into muddy mountains in Philippines. Much more pleasant for relaxing drives where I do not see a house for 50 miles, e.g. Baja Sur. I actually prefer the (traditional, not restaurant/fast) food in Philippines though. Mainly Mexico because I do not trust what the Asians will do when the pandemic comes back again, which it will soon.
Philippines seems wonderful but it wears you down after the years and decades, although it is much improved now, e.g. double-laned (widened) all the major roads since I was gone, but still Filipinos use the new right lane as a parking lot. Frustrations abound in the Philippines, although it is a delightful country in many ways. I am contemplating to have a retirement/vacation home there, but I dare not commit to living over there again until after the looming return of the aforementioned. Why do you think they mandated the national id. Because they will mandate something else soon. And I refuse to take those. My health is non-negotiable.
@@expatlifestyle2000 in short, you have about a year more to enjoy there and then you need to leave as I left in 2019. I tend to know what is going to happen. Because I do a lot of research. My mother took all the recommended despite my pleadings, now has Parkinson's. My ex's partner's mother did also and now has a brain tumor and caused her to go blind in one eye. I am not playing Russian roulette with needles.
Great vid
im thinking the westen side off phill the east gets belted by typhoons
Great Camera! What is it?
It's just a Samsung 21 ultra with an external microphone.
@@expatlifestyle2000 Thanks!
@billshepard6664 thank you for your interest in my channel.
Very cool What effect did you use to make you sit separately from the street ???
I just filmed him sitting by the street. It's all real life in the moment.
@@expatlifestyle2000 suppose But how were you able to separate him from the street? You see it yourself, I think you just don’t want to talk about it:)))
just used artificial intelligence
If I didn't want to tell you, I just would say I don't want to tell you. 🤣 I did nothing except set up the camera at a good angle and we were seated in a good place. (Sans noise pollution)
@expatlifestyle2000 then you are just a great master !Respect !last question: What program do you use to edit the video?
even if din’t like his subject matter Scotty is differnt and harmless in a good way: keep it up Scotty
Great outlook. A lot of fellas come out here with the main reason being women. I'm not one of them but I respect that he talks about it for those who want to know.
One quick question, Scotty: about to book my flight the visa, do you get it upon arrival? any thoughts for me or if you add it to a video. thats cool.
@sun3143 nate Here. If your American you can just show up here.
really good interview
I'm glad you enjoyed it
The reason why the girl brought her full 12 person family is that they see you as opportunity to get out of poverty or a ticket to America. I think any country with the poverty level like Philippines, you will find there similar desperation. If you go out of the big cities in the Philippines, you will find more of those who are desperate.
Great point
CORRECT !
I married a Filipina
Life has been hell
but I can tell you
nobody on her
family wants to
come to America
The pinoys them-
selves want to
stay home
Been in the Philippines a couple of years. Life is different here. There was and is still a lot to adjust to. Ups and downs. Positives and negatives. Despite the hardships I'm still here. So, there must be some good here😀
Glad to hear your loving the philippines. I'm still searching around but I do love it here in Malaybalay.
Scotty, "Me as a Regular Guy...". Lol i see what he did there. 😆 And getting to know someone intellectually before dropping bones* is the way to go. Great interview!
Well said! Thanks.
This is my favorite video of yours so far. Thank you very much for your help and time. I have been thinking about retirement in the Philippines but not looking for Love or romance. I have been thinking about north west of Manila in the mountains. Just wondering if you have some advice about this area. Again thanks so much for your insight.
I'm glad it was helpful! I'll try to do some more interview style videos.
I havnt been on that island very much so unfortunately i couldnt offer any information on that area.
Good review love regular guy
Much appreciated
Been pleasantly surprised more than I have been disappointed. I would never recommend it but I went on a drunken bar crawl by myself and left a lot of expensive camera equipment in a bar and walked away. A buy me drinky bar girl went through all the bars on the strip until she found and gave me my bag back. That was in the mid 1970s and I still think about it
❤ how do you spell the name of that City in the mountains he speaking of kind of enroll I can't know the pronunciation
We were inside Malaybalay it's called the little Bagiou. Is that the city you are asking about?
@@expatlifestyle2000 no I got that I'm talking about when regular guy talked about the house area in the mountains where it's cooler what is that name of that City c a y a n e or something? Thank you
@gregmertz1202 the major city on the north side of Mindanao is called cagayan de oro. It's commonly abbreviated to CDO. Big city, not as cool weathered as the higher mountain areas on the island but it has ample Western amenities.
@@expatlifestyle2000 thank you so very much that's what I was looking for I couldn't understand the pronunciation in the video okay have a nice weekend
@gregmertz1202 no problem. I have a video where I walk around Cagayan de Oro that you can find on my channel too.
I had a taxi cab guy not turn his meter on, it was a short trip, and when I saw it I told him not to treat Forignen guys that way! He saie "I am so sorry, I will not do this again"! Thats in Cebu! Lovely people there
Hopefully he kept his word. Have you seen my video of when I was robbed in phnom pehn?
Scottie is a terrific vlogger, hes simply the best!
Nice guy. Regular guy.

@@Regular_Guyph 🤗
Malaybalay provincial capital of Bukidnon.
Probably the best city in Bukidnon.
Sayre highway runs through the city.
There are well-kept areas and is quite pleasant.
Upgrades required : Bus Terminal
Gaisano needs a face-lift
Malaybalay will never be an ExPat zone as it is far too small to offer extensive and varied services.
Meanwhile Davao and Cebu have everything expats need
Good points. I think the bus terminal is just fine, though. It seems to run very efficiently.
Scotty,
I like the way you live and watching your vids...I hope I see you again sometime in the Philippines.
Man you look relaxed so if you went back to Malaybalay...it must be great.
Me too man im looking for the place to live there.
I've went pretty in depth on several locations to retire in my channel. I would suggest you subscribe and take a look at my previous videos. -Nate
I love Regular Guy…He’s funny and always going to new places….😊
He was the one who told me about malaybalay when we met in Bacolod. He has seen so much!
Hey my friend thanks
@@Regular_Guyph Your welcome….
I stayed in Manila for awhile in the 80's in Ermita area on M.H.Del Pilar st . This was the heart of the red light district of Manila then. Lots of expats and assorted characters. Great times, great clubs, great restaurants. I remember Rosie Mexican restaurant and going to Rizal park and Gen MacArthur Blvd, and Barrio Fiesta restaurant. Loved the area, but I can tell you going outside to Quapo for example, well you better watch yourself! Manila was dangerous in those days!
To be honest its hard for me to imagine the travel world before the internet and phones. It must have been a totally different experience.
Hi Scotty see all the trolls about you but I still.a fan of your videos and trips
Where the heck is he?
This is in Malaybalay.
@@expatlifestyle2000 I mean literally, where is he? Not posted in a week or more?

My first visit to Malaybalay was in 2014
One of the OG malaybalay guys. No doubt.
Another thing about the Philippines is that age does not matter.
I know it matters regarding respect and status. Also I have also seen a decrepit dude in his 70s creep out chick's in their late teens/early 20s by making romantic advances. Would it be more appropriate to say it matter less?
Age does matter. Underage is underage and will get you banned from the Philippines.
41 years in the culture....12 years living in Pinas. AGE MATTERS otherwise you'd see 65 year old pinoys with 30 or younger pinays lol . The ONLY reason you see 55 year plus puti's with 25 year old pinays is because of money. Security is a BIG emotional need for all women around the world ....the difference is that in the West the "bar" is WAY higher. Lets get real guys...AGE matters! and also for gods sake limit you gap to no more than 20-25 years. If you are 65 what the hell are you doing with a woman 40 years your junior! sick !
@@realgains1538age does matter and so does money. If the girl is tired of being hungry she might go with an older foreigner who has a stable income.
Malaybalay is not near a beach so it may be a bit safer from becoming a Dumaguete, Angeles, or Subic anytime soon. Scotty nailed it on the change after Duterte. Duterte was the leader that made it ok to be aggressive towards crime and not take it down lying and just let them have their way. Thanks for the share.
Been in PH for a week now, was in Manila for three days and a boy, maybe 14 tried to pickpocket me unsuccessfully, and there was a never ending line of scammers and beggars, but since leaving Luzon I have only had incredibly lovely interactions. Really loving the Visayas.
I won't even go to manilla and am usually annoyed having to fly into it. Not a fan.
Are there homes available for rent ? I am looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom home.
Went back and listened again. Waiting list for housing 😢
There are. I'll try to do some looking around and video-ing them in may for you bud.
I am a fan of Scotty, one thing he said which is very true is the misconception of people thinking there are girls everywhere. I was there last year and I was sitting with a bunch of expats mostly Americans and they were all saying where are all the girls all these Vloggers were talking about? Rekay was saying and still says that you will have a date for every day of the week, lol. We couldn't find a date if our life depended on it in Dumaguete, even online dating sites were dead. Cebu was a little different, you will find girls to go out with you on a date but they are mostly looking for money, some tell you upfront and others will tell you afterwards like, my mother needs medicine. I think things have changed drastically just over last 3 years and finding, pay to play is easy but finding a girlfriend material or wife to be is very difficult. So my suggestion to anyone looking for that is to plan to live in PH for at least a year, maybe more and you have to be super active as well and you will have a good chance of finding the right girl.
I could talk so much about this and your astute observation. Maybe I'll do a video or livestream about it in the future.
Great interview guys ! Both of you are welcome to visit with myself...a Brit, and pamily, if ever you're up Pangasinan way (not far from Manaoag). Take care guys.

Also, it has been very easy to find quality, loyal, and supportive long term partners. Its almost every other girl you meet here.

Interesting. I had your same experience in iloilo city. Out here in Mindanao I would say my experience more closely resembles scotty though.
@@expatlifestyle2000 Ormoc was my same experience in Cebu city / province and Bohol, except even moreso. I am actually waiting for the time a filipino girl I date asks me to buy her something, or take her to X, or be nothing but frugal and supportive.
@@expatlifestyle2000 That interesting you had that experience in Mindanao. I haven't spent a lot of time there myself, but based on that fact there are less foreigners there than anywhere else, I would think the girls would be even more simple, loyal, frugal, and traditional.
@@Re3iRtH there is always an outlier in a group.
what happened to the sound?
The background noise became overwhelming and unbearable. so I activated the reductioner on the microphone.
Scotty's channel is pretty dope. His style of vlogging and his interviews are some of my favorite things to watch. It also seems like he likes putting people on which can't be said about a lot of RUclipsrs. That's how I started watching Ana and I how I just subscribed to this channel.
Agreed about scotty and I'm happy to have you in the fold on my channel. Welcome.
@25:37: "My audience." All 1800 of them? That's brilliant!!😂
Funnier still it was closer to 1300 when I filmed this. 🤣
Great video, always like Scotty boy! Also, thanks for the great background traffic!
My pleasure. It was noisy but I knew the festival was a great place to chat.
I can't understand the city he is mentioning. Caya de O..something like that, Help anyone, please
Cagayan De Oro. But it's often just called CDO.
@@utubenewb1265 Thanks
Cagayan de Oro, second city on mindanao (population/economically size-wise) after Davao city. In the northern coastal part on the northeastern quarter of Mindanao island. More a gateway towards other bisaya islands than ofcourse Davao area is in the far down southeast part of Mindanao. Davao area faces southwards the northly Moluccan parts of far eastern indonesia.
Scotty you are the best, you can be serious but you also make fun ,keep the videos coming mate enjoy watching.
Hopefully you enjoy my channel. I would recommend you check out some of my iloilo videos if you like walk and talks.
i found out in Serbia that the "where are we going" question was more about dressing appropriate for the situation than about money/spending. Also some girls do not want to go to a bar. Food for thought
Interesting observation
Nice. Enjoy your travels!
I like Regular guy. he is just awesome :-)
Me too. Hopefully you will like my channel too. I have quite the back catalog.
Those were really well thought out questions ... thank you for that interview. I've been a subscriber to Scotty's channel from the start and find it highly entertaining and informative. He's a little different but in a good way. When I'm there in 2 years, I'll be sure to include a stay in CDO and Malaybalay as both cities sound wonderful. Thanks for a great video.
Your welcome. Hopefully you enjoy my channel as much as you have enjoyed his.
Two years is a longtime in the Philippines and things will surely change in that time. Remember these Vlogs are just a guide and someone's current perspective.
This Boya Mic sounds really good, and I am sure its much more afforable than the Rode and DJI one.. Could you tell me the model name?
Oh and of course, nice interview, he was quite relaxed so you did a good job ;)
Thanks. You are correct as it was around $100 for the two mics, reciever, and dead cats. It's the square one when you look for it online.
You caught up with him again , cool conversation
Thanks. Scotty is a cool guy to chat with.
Scotty is right about so many things, it’s not cheap in the Philippines, and it’s not easy to find the girl of your dreams.
He is right about the money thing, that drives me crazy, Filipina don’t hesitate to ask for money, I mean constantly.
Don’t accept this unless she is living with you and she is giving something in return.
I always said to girls I don’t send money unless you are with me, then I will support you.
I am here a long time, and the way he has approached it, is the right way, he did it in a scooter, I did it with a car, more comfortable.
I did it using public transportation but after my lesson learned ill be getting wheels. Its just so hard to go odd places i want to go. Enjoy PI my man. Its a great time here. Especially in Malaybalay.
Cdo and surrounding area great. Single women everywhere, mtns, and good golf.
A couple of cautionary notes. If you happen to be in the Philippines during election time, there is a possibility you might become a kidnapping victim if you let your guard down. It usually involves a gang operation where they are stalking a potential victim to assess his vulnerability for a kidnapping. Once that is done, then a time and place is set for the kidnapping. The kidnappers will post the amount of money required in order to secure the release of a victim at the embassy representing the victim's country. The money is used to support a political candidate's campaign. Secondly, if a foreigner is susceptible to problems concerning sustained high heat conditions, he should choose a location in a more mountainous, cooler area to live in first and then choose a partner from that area.
Wow sounds serious. Thanks for the safety tip. Luckily I am still fat and it would take 4 filipino men to lift me if I just go limp. Also fortunately I am poor, so they will not be able to collect much for me.
Good video
Thank you. I hope you enjoy my other ones too.
Very good interview.
Scotty is a great interviewee. Thanks for watching.
we support Scott
Great interview! Dreams are what make life tolerable. Now that Scott is living his dream, I am curious on Scott's opinion on whether it has lived up to his expectations?
Agree with your perspective on dating. To start simple, and this applies wherever or whatever station you are in life.
good for scotty hes a good man after all
Good man, good friend, Regular guy.
Great video
Miss you Jennalynne. I was talking with Kevin about hopefully doing some vacation stuff soon.
Wow, Giving people the impression that they can just leave their valuables out and nobody will steal them in the Philippines. This is absolutely crazy.
It's definitely not recommended, but I have heard personal anticdotes from multiple people who have done this safely.
Go watch fly me to the Philippines. They show Crissy and Rob have someone try to grab their bag right from their hands. That was in CDO!
@@stevesilver7437 You get lots of poor advice from vloggers, I have been dealing with the Philippines for 20 years plus and never heard anyone say this, in fact most will give you safety tips. There is actually quite a few vloggers on youtube who have almost had their cameras grabbed while filming. It is fair to say most Filipinos are honest but especially as tourists you often are often targeted by criminals.
@@expatlifestyle2000 ANECDOTES (not "anticdotes").
The honesty factor he mentions is the absolute opposite of what I experienced in six years there. Believe me, there has been no change.
Please spell the name of the city!
Which city?
Malaybalay?
That was a very generous introduction.
I can't get over how much importance is placed on trying to find something familiar in a place where you go to get away from the crap you couldn't stand. Try letting theses places stay the way they are. You try to ruin the culture.
They have immigration policy here to protect their people. I shall ask, Does the country you are from have a serious immigration policy?
@@expatlifestyle2000 The country I'm from is a temporary immigration travesty. Biden is the president at the moment.
Wow...we can see the vibe of this city...
It's usually more chill but this over month long festival adds more folks. Still real friendly vibe though.
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. - Steve Jobs
Good quote. 👍
I got to like scotty a lot, he first came to my attention when he first arrived in the Philippines, I don’t follow expat RUclips Vloggers.
Only because I have lived full time in the philippines since 2010.
I already know what these guys try to educate us on, and I know more, but scotty by him traveling all over, he has learned what the true Philippines is about.
Most expats don’t travel, they stay in one place.
I have done what he has done, and more places beyond where he has gone, I have taken paid security with me in some places here , there is no way in hell you would go there alone.
But your question on where an exist should live, food from back home, and excellent affordable accommodation, no brown outs, traffic is good, is Angeles City, it also has good hospitals and an international airport, only 2 hours from Manila. This is the best place to live along with Clark, which is like a suburb in the west.
You seem like you are a good source of info. I couldn't do AC personally. Ive never been but i know enough. To much of a concrete jungle for me, im sure.
