  • Ever since my dad's first visit in 1995, He instantly fell in love with Siquijor Island.
    He saved up and slowly built a beach house from scratch.
    I remember so much childhood memories visiting Siquijor during the summer and I am so fortunate to be able to call Siquijor Island my second home.
    I appreciate all of you for watching my father's video!

    I'm a Taiwanese American ready to see the Philippines with my Filipina wife. We met in the US and now our kids are grown, we're going to explore the world starting in PH before the end of the year, and probably make our base there with so many lovely people and of course the culture. I am very inspired and happy to find your channel. I'd look into building or buying a property near the beach, but probably not right on it :) I like a blend of water and mountains.

      My wife is from Luzon. She's mentioned a few places we must go visit like Cebu and Boracay. This will be my first time to visit so I'm completely open to suggestions and like your dad said, I intend to learn from the locals. I work for a large US based company and have colleagues who work from Manila. My wife and I will start a business in Manila or surrounding areas. One thing I will insist on is to go to a class once I land, to learn the local language, probably Tagalog.

      Its very easy to learn tagalog,all you have to do is buy books written in tagalog or watch CD's movies in tagalog hope this can help you.

    • @VanandJoe
      @VanandJoe  Год назад +1

      That’s amazing Kaby! Yes you should definitely visit Cebu the Queen city of the South and is also the oldest city in the Philippines.
      Although if you want a more laid back area that still gives you a great city vibe, you guys should visit Iloilo. You can check out some Iloilo videos on our playlist. Very clean and the food were delicious!
      If you want to avoid the city and enjoy the simple island life, there’s Camiguin and Siquijor which is less touristy. Boracay, Panglao Bohol and Siargao are also beautiful but they are becoming very touristy almost having the same vibes as the beaches in Thailand 😅
      That’s exciting news! Hope you don’t mind sharing about your business idea.
      Also, that would be very helpful. Learning Tagalog here is always a plus especially knowing your wife is from Luzon and you guys plan to live in Manila.

      @VanandJoe oh don't mention it and u're most welcome. It goes viral so YT recommends it and got my attention esp.your title so i watched it hehe. And the way your father talks and explains everything is so engaging and make somebody excited and inspired so the content is so inspirational. Like while watching u already have question in your mind then after a while your question is being answered coz he mentioned it. So the way he shared his life's experiences is very organized so the person watching it gets satisfied and wanting to watch for more. So u're lucky that he's very willing to be in your videos hahaha. Which not everybody does. I have RUclips channel too but i focused more on shorts hihi. Keep up the good work. Thanks too and God bless.

I know your father (we met a couple of times in Dumaguete and we also had lunch one time in Valencia, in 2018). I actually lent him a book for you to read (The Philippine Archipelago by Yves Boquet) since you were studying at that time. Is there any way I can get in touch with your father ? Best regards to you and cordiales salutations à Charly. Hubert

    In the Philippines it’s easier for FOREIGNERS to get a permit for business or like in this case to own and build a house next to the beachfront. Whereas, if you are an ordinary Filipino even a Balikbayan, it’s either you’ll wait forever for approval, give you a hard time by asking a lot of requirements and most likely you’ll eventually be denied. That’s our attitude a lousy one. Truth hurts sometimes.

    First of all kudos to both of you and most specially your dad`s outlook in life.
    I, a lot of Filipinos and other foreigners can relate to your fathers sentiments regarding other western countries culture degradation, and we recognize that these are the same profound sentiments why some foreign veterans, seniors and other young conservative wanting to migrate here or decided to live here for good.
    This degradation of western culture is the reason we despised foreign tourist who would bring their wokeish, politically correct, social justice attitude or race, gender, faith dysphoric ideologies in the country ...
    So for other foreign v/bloggers or regular foreign tourists who think they can do their wokeism attitudes in the country, dont count on it.... Better yet, dont get confused if we filipinos enjoy watching their vlogs or enjoy their company, although its partially true, those admiration doesnt mean we agree with their ideology or bs...IF WE dont call their bs out in public - that doesnt mean we sympathize with their point of view - instead were simply humble enough to respect their views AS LONG AS they would not imposed them to us, just like whats happening in the west. Tho some pinoys may disagree with what im saying, but dont get fooled, the majority despised these abomination deep in their psyche...and trust me, you dont want to find out what their reactions would be if they had enough...

    Your dad I consider a modern day French explorer, settling in the Philippines with very little knowledge about the land and its people. I admire people like him. Unlike me, I’m a native born Filipino, spent most of my younger life in the Philippines, but still there is a war raging within me, if I should settle back to my home country in retirement. I need some inspirations like him.

    • @VanandJoe
      @VanandJoe  Год назад +3

      Thank you AG! My dad will truly appreciate your comment.
      At the end of the day, that will really depend on you. Do not be pressure by others around you and help them influence your decision. Choosing a country to retire is a major decision and although you are Filipino by blood, you should follow what you feel. For now, you may visit the Philippines and see if you feel like this is the perfect place for your to retire.

    • @VanandJoe
      @VanandJoe  Год назад

      Hi Fred! Thank you! ❤️ My dad does not live there but he goes to siquijor every month. That is his second home.
      He did not put it for rent and kept it private for him and his family to unwind anytime.
      A simple house like that now is expensive to build in Siquijor. Prices spiked since tourists have been flocking the island for years now. so I would imagine a low income Filipino might find it hard to build a house like that by the beach.
