      Hey p keep coming up with those movies thank you a real sweet lady with a really great personality that really shows and you're always so happy most of the time I've also noticed you use hand gesture a lot when you're speaking which works great it's definitely helped on your English a lot I've noticed wow you must have took classes on speaking English or grew up speaking English as well as your own language which is how do you keep those two apart guess you have to have that be able to think two things at once on two different separate projects at the same time got to be smart to know how to do that but then some people are just naturally born with that gift of talent looks like you're one of them so in my book the crabs of the world don't let him drag you down you're better than that I can see that but like I said keep making those movies I enjoy watching you and your friend that you the one that records your movies for you that one female I can't remember her name she's really nice too but y'all have a wonderful evening over in the Philippines good night my sweet friends

    I engaged in a chat on Old Dog Paul's channel talking about this video. I thought I would post what I said about your video here too: "That guy, the one who lost over $1M, impacted me, changed my perception. I grew up in a tough neighborhood and learned early to avoid con artists. So I've always considered people who got conned to be dupes responsible for their own stupidity. Pea's guy was a decent man. He accepted and shrugged off his loss, took responsibility. I realized, not everybody got the street-wise education I did. When men are victimized, I tend to hold them responsible when actually the woman who conned this guy is a criminal. She's the villain, not him."

    Thank you for your effort to inform foreigners about the good, the bad and the ugly of the Philippines.
    One thing I don't think you have covered in your videos is what kind of shots and vaccines should foreigners get before coming to the Philippines in order to avoid some of the common illnesses in your country. That might make a good video also.

    Love the guy at time code 13:17. No filters whatsoever! And apparently the "beautiful young women" factor is his best selling point. Shame on you though, Miss Pea, for touching him on the arm like that. If his wife sees that, he'll have some explaining to do! 😂
    Never understood why people don't like Filipino food. I love lumpia, and I remember a yakisoba dish that my girlfriend there made that was awesome! And who doesn't like spit roasted pig!

Also, like me a lot of the fillapina women in America date and marry black men, or either other Filipinos. You will never see a fillapina in America with an old dude unless she was brought her back. Once she becomes Americanized she leaves for a younger man. Also, a lot of black men still do not travel internationally, for one it’s expensive to travel and the other reason is they don’t look to go elsewhere.

While talking to Filipino ladies with limited English skills, I oftentimes find my words misinterpreted. Perhaps a video highlighting how similes between English and the spoken languages of your country have alternate meaning. This would require research on your part, but I know of no one else who have the requisite skills to make this happen. Maybe you could title it: "You Said What". Haha, always your friend. Tom

    The Philippines is so crazy. But good crazy! I have been there a few times briefly and once for an extended stay. In my late 50s I was there on business for I guess about 11 months. Just repping my company for some building products and getting an office set up there. I lived in the Ayala area of Cebu City. I met a very pretty and absolutely tiny filipina almost immediately after I got there. Just 4'6 and 30kg. Gorgeous stick-thin smiley girl just out of high school ... but as turned out, not yet 18. So we did everything with her mom in the weeks until her 18th birthday and we were never ever alone together, so as to easily stay within the law.
    And in the process I became good friends with her mom (poor lady -- she was younger than me but plump and looked very old -- but good English and a great sense of humor). After a couple months, they both moved in with me -- I had rented a 2-bedroom place in a highrise a few blocks from Ayala Mall. It was a cozy, fun, happy arrangement. I would generally pay for things but it wasn't like they were shamelessly hitting me up for money or anything and certainly no relatives ever stopped by to beg for "loans". I had to go to work during the day but the mom and her lovely daughter would mostly stay home and cook and fold clothes and stuff. That condo must have been the cleanest place for 500 miles -- they kept it absolutely immaculate! The daughter was very relaxed about wearing sexy outfits and showing heavy PDA around her mom and I guess the mom thought that was so cute. We slept in one bedroom and the mom in the other ... the way the place was laid out, that worked out fine. Sometimes on weekends we would all three go on a quick adventure to Panglao or Siargao or Siquijor.
    After I moved back to the USA we kind of lost touch but it was I just remember the feeling of happiness and simplicity about the whole thing. Such an arrangement could never really work here and would draw tremendous, ultra-harsh criticism. But it worked out just fine over there and I don't remember an unkind word ever being spoken. Probably one of the happiest times of my life even though so busy with work.
    Btw, one thing that's very important: don't make expats or tourists look bad if you go there! Be super nice to people and don't act like a bigshot just because you're a white American. I saw lots of American and Aussie jerks there and it really made me cringe.

It looks like he understands what he did wasn't the brightest decision in his life, and handles that for what it is and doesn't waste his last days in regret; that would be foolish.

    It is a misnomer that there are no rules in the Philippines. Actually, the Philippines does have traffic laws resembling the West, and more overall regulation of everything in general. The real difference is enforcement and compliance. Philippine laws are so rarely or loosely enforced that people do not follow them. There is one unwritten Filipino traffic law that trumps all others. The bigger your vehicle, the more right of way you have on the road.

    I think some of the viewers are being overly harsh to that very nice man Arthur.That was very nice of him to open up to Pea and talk about his experience of being scammed by a bad Filipina, especially when it wasn't complimentary to himself.I myself would not have even included him in this video. He is deserving of a whole thirty- minute interview onto himself. You just don't get men who have been scammed as badly as Arthur has who are willing to talk about it publicly.Thank you Arthur and I do hope you do find your dream girl Filipina. She will be a lucky girl.Thank you Pea-John Richard Wray

    I’m still shocked by the 1.4 million dollars . But he seemed like he got past it remarkably well . I wish I could say I would have handled it so well . I would still be chasing her down lmao . The one guy was funny when he said the women are Beautiful and you can have a girlfriend half your age he . He said it like three times with a shocked look on his face . I think he was there three years and still couldn’t believe it 😂. Have a great day Pea!

    What stuck out to me is the feedback on the lack of bread options on dumaguete. Thanks for this.

    Some of the guys complained about the bread. The local rolls called pundisol are beyond delicious, especially hot from the oven. Those rolls and some dairy cream and I was a happy camper.
