Thanks I appreciate you observing that 👍. I just recently started including my son because I thought it could be a fun project for us... I've been running this channel over a year with 13k subs and 240 videos BEFORE I decided to include him.
@LeviRussell-f6m There's no magic key. Subscribers and views are relative per channel. There's all sorts of different style channels...Just make good content and stay true to your message. Staying focused and enjoying what you do will help you stay out of the social media "popularity contest" syndrome. Some vloggers can get nasty and competitive. Some of them remind me of unhinged actors 😆
@Expat_Philippines had a fishing channel last year will 220 videos and 222 subscribers lost it cause I couldn't remember my Gmail password. Gonna start making content again just lost to what people will be interested in watching. Already started filming Agricultural videos just don't know that's what people will subscribe for.
If you approach RUclips with a specific agenda in terms of growing for business and want maximum views for monetization, there's certainly strategies depending on the niche...I personally enjoy the comfortability of speaking on exactly what I'd like to discuss. I'm aware some comments and topics can potentially alienate some audiences at times. However I believe over the long haul this channel will continue growing because people respect the message.
thats the greatest decision in life my Friend, raising kids in the Philippines gives them a sense of community oriented approach. your son will be a good person and have a sense of social affiliate to people. he will be immerse in filipino culture as he grew up here in the country. not to bash you country but it beginning to decay with moral degration in america. love your videos Sir. godbless to youa dn your handsome son.
I feel like your son is just so excited...so happy to see you! 😊 If he kept his reading habit he will be a walking encyclopedia!😊👍🇧🇭🇵🇭 Private school usually is a little bit expensive in Philippines...but for sure his personality, talents, skills will be enhanced.
I hope so...He got honors recently so I hope he continues on that path. Regardless of the school, seems like being involved as much as possible is the most important.
Haha thanks. Well the entertainment industries in this world is a whole other subject. But acting as an art is certainly fun. I'd still like to collaborate on an independent movie of some sort. Thanks for your comment.
Hi there, cap. I'm glad to see you with your son...handsome boy, looks much like you, his smiles, and funny faces...You're right with your observations. The number of students in a classroom is one factor where a child learns more and can be given enough attention by the teacher. In a Catholic school, it is emphasized to educate, "training of the mind and formation of characters". You're involvement with your child's wholesome upbringing is admirable. Thank you for looking at us Filipinos in a good light. We are family oriented, our life revolved around family, when one is happy everybody is happy, when one is in difficulty, all is affected... Life is simple here, easy to please, a simple gesture is reciprocated with a sweetest smile... We are happy to have you here with us, cap...feeling like family...God bless🙏🥰
Thank you...Seems like parents should be actively involved, if possible, in their kids education... Appreciate your support and thoughtful comments on the channel!
@@Expat_Philippines Parents, should I say, "must" be actively involved in their children's education...education starts at home, and the school helps to prepare them for what career they will pursue for the child's brighter future...parents have crucial roles for the wellbeing of the child...shower then love, they will become loving individuals. Thanks for giving us the venue to interact and the respect for one's opinion. God bless you, Capt.🙏💕
Captain Trucker, Your son is handsome and cute. Yes. you can't say Hey, here in Philippines. Just like my son when we went home I have to make sure he does not say anything that offend them.Thanks for adapting our culture. Thanks for sharing. Have a good one.
Appreciate that! Yea I was quoting this line from "True Lies" with Schwarzenegger....Bill Paxton playing the car salesman said to Arnold with regards to holding a car for him "Hey, because it's YOU!"
In 2003 when I referred to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as a "joke" to the higher ups, that was the wrong word - I really meant absurd in the context of being poorly planned and executed by the U.S...I'm definitely NOT dismissing the tragedy that thousands of U.S. soldiers/patriots and hundreds of thousands civilians died, that is a very grim, real, and tragic reality. I was vocal about this in 2003 and knew the U.S. would be there for many years.
@@Expat_Philippines it's also heartbreaking to see your people leaving families and loved ones to fight a battle for their allies (correct me if I'm wrong), how admirable and heroic but leaving families for example an infant or pregnant wife, then when one is fortunate enough to survive and returns home to a grown up child, etc., etc...sometimes I make it a joke too, to say, if they want war, let the one who wants it, lead the troop and stand at the front line instead of just be a dictator by deciding war and sit back to watch a show of killings😡...praying for families and brave soldiers who suffer the most as well as the victims...if only people learn to share and be kind to one another, the world/universe is vast enough to sustain us all, and there is a God who continuously create and make miracles every second of everyday...and to note, we, each of us only have "ONE" life to live. If one is scared of loosing his one own life, how come he doesn't care to deprive others of their own life and its effect to the loved ones and family?😭...I think what we can do is making the most of our life, live fulfilled, care others (stewardship), enjoy life with others in its simplicity. All is given to us freely, we steward, we enjoy and be happy , never allow manmade creation dominate and enslave us. God bless🙏🥰
Your son is adorable Captain and his growing in the Philippines will make him a better citizen and person someday. Many in the US kids behsviours starting in their young age are expose to a harsh reality of their neighborhoods, irresponsible parenting, gangs and drugs, harsh and hostile attitudes towards others. You are a great father to your son with your great decisions.
In the 1970s the subdivisions were chock full of kids and everybody played outside or visited the houses of each other. Another issue I have with the USA is I hate winter. And Commie fornia is a no-live-zone now.
The school system in the Philippines are great. I am product of public schools and I 'm not ashamed back on the late 70s and early 80s and 90s dont have much a computer we do basic teaching and fundamental loved my English teacher on elementary
At 10:30, you saying "military style stuff".. yeah a bit. I'm a Filipino guy educated in Philippine public school from primary to secondary. We did flag raising ceremony everyday at school were we all lined up and sang the national antheme and walk in line to our class and stood until the teacher came and stood in front. Teacher: "Good morning class!" Class: "Goodmorning ma'am/sir. Good morning classmates." Teacher: "Ok, take your seats." We would seat then the class starts.
If you want your son to be a president better get him to get a degree in law to become a lawyer so that he knows the law unlike many corrupt politicians who knows nothing about the law. God bless him and you.
I meant he could still technically qualify to run for U.S. President in 30 years...or he could manage a fleet of autonomous trucks at that point. Then again if he chooses to be a tricycle driver I'll still support him lol
Your son should be taught the ways of the ninja by a great master while in Philippines. These masters usually disguise as simple gardeners. Seek them out. Then your son can grow to become a great American ninja and defend against all enemies of his motherland and adopted land. Good luck
I raise my daughter in the West she's nineteen years old now and doing fine. There are so many pluses and minuses, and your kid's personality, and talents there are many factors you will never truly know for sure if you have done the right thing
Too many "KARENS" in the US and degradation of the American dream we were raise to believe. Like buying a house, living in a safe suburban neighborhood, safe schools, affordable food and so forth. It also seems like an afterthought now reflecting on it. I was fortunately to experience all of that living there but I am concern for the new generations (my daughter's) as they finish school here and their plans of going back to work there.
He is as goofy as you. 😂 if you transfer your son to study in US, he'll be one the smartest in class. Education standard in PH is surprisingly better than Western countries.
Tagalog(Origin from Javanese/Old Malay Kawi Script & Wika in Tagalog Script) language occurred during 900 CE (Laguna Copperplate Script) & “evolved” the Tagalog language during those Era, the native(original) Filipino working as a “overseas workers,” & they called them “eminent workers” by Southeast Asian neighbors.

Let your wife teach him only Tagalog. it's better. You can speak to anybody from top of the map, like the Luzon, Visaya and Mindanao. some small village but still tagalog is more famous to communicate to everybody.just saying.
My partner is a corporate banker in the Philippines..it’s a interesting topic. My previous marriage and two children were privately educated in the UK. From my perception most schooling is terrible in the Philippines..if your gifted you’ll get on anywhere. The Filipino I’ve met in via my wife (7 years) are highly intelligent and more so than the west.

I know provincial like appeals to many but the education is lacking simply because the brightest brains reside in the big cites. Plus on your cv the likes of Manila or Cebu university are first inline for the quality opportunities..
The curriculum is more or less the same. You don't have to be particularly "gifted" to get educated in the Philippines, I'm just being funny by saying my son will run for president. Education starts in the family and home.
Btw "hasten" would be more appropriate if you were composing literature in the 16th century. Was that a motivating factor in your life, future, and contributions to humanity? How something "looks" on a cover letter? Just saying. Sounds potentially pretentious. Not saying that's your intention.

the education in teh Philippines is now more advanced than US public school. US education drop by day. and now there is indoctrination…scary to raise children in US now.
@@Expat_Philippines if you will compare the curriculum, in PH they already teach area, perimeter in 3rd grade. so when my friend’s children came to US, 2007 I asked if they’re children have hard time transitioning.. they said nope… they’re almost 2-3 years ahead. If u look at US ranking in school, it drop every year. it was 2016 when I checked and they dropped 2 spot in one year. US has “no child left behind” policy… meaning nobody will fail. I volunteer in juvenile and yap, they don’t fail even if they spend most of their time coming in and out of jail. I am talking only of public school. but it’s always a different story when the child is a good kid and likes to learn… because in US, smart kid had a chance to advance during high school…like somebody was able to finished Psychology in high school because it’s available. so the time she graduate high school, is the time she also get her college certificate/diploma. Most that I know, they also can get advanced college subject in high school like Calculus if they plan to take engineering. This is the advantage in US, it saves parents money. the biggest mistake PH did in the system is adopting the 12 years of primary school. 10 years was more than enough for elementary and high school. the college also is good in PH. lot of foreigners are studying in PH because they are competitive. graduates can pass international licensing test in any field. all ur materials are good, but the tutor is only needed if ur child doesn’t like to study or having a hard in certain subject. tutor help with motivation and can explain the area he is having a problem with. in case he is introvert to ask the teacher. I see lot of foreign youtubers that grew up in PH and they don’t have problem studying in PH. one American he studied in public school, so he can speak Tagalog.
