Many individuals, including me, are worried about high crime rate in the Philippines. This is because they got used to the United States. Where are they getting this information from? What caused this perception among Filipinos and other foreigners? Let's be objective by watching this video to see the truth about the Philippine crime rate.
![Should I retire in the Philippines or stay in U.S.? [Why foreigners/Filipinos love the Philippines.]](/img/1.gif)
THANK YOU for this vlog. I HOPE I WILL REACH YOUR AGE SO THAT I CAN ENJOY MY RETIREMENT. i am a registered nurse in icu here in America i migrated here 3yrs ago i feel that i am going to die earlier because of my job it is so stressful i hope i can find a more less stressful job that i will enjoy.
Maybe you need to talk to a professional about this right away. It is all in how you look at a situation that will determine the stress level you place yourself into. Try to stay relaxed and do your best at work but don't let it kill you. You are only one person out of many at your work. You can't do everything yourself. Delegate how you want things handled to your lvn's, etc and show them the proper way to do these things so you have them to rely on and not have to do it all yourself, therefore relieving your stress level. You just need to delegate and train those under you properly to do what you want them to do. I have seen some RN's in ICU sit on their butt in front of the screens and just monitor the patients and make the others under them do all the work. Then I have seen some who are probably like you that want to make sure everyone gets your attention all at the same time. That can become very over whelming and totally stress you out. Take a deep breath once in a while and think how is there a better way to do this that takes all the pressure off me. Good luck and we really appreciate all the nurses out there that put their lives at risk everyday not knowing what strange unknown might come into their life each day. Take care and God bless you all! Thank you for your service!
If you are willing to relocate there are many opportunities for RN's in rural communities that are much less stressful. Good luck to you
U can make it as long as u love ur job.
It is indeed stressful more in critical care ;take break or vacation every so often; educate and make yourself up to date in line of work by continuing education ; be kind to yourself take your breaks at work when it is due, get along with your boss and coworkers very important to last in this business. I did for 35 yrs from clinical nurse to admin nurse to educator and now happily retired world traveler! Hang in there🤗
Yes life outside Philippines 🇵🇭 is not a bed 🛏 of roses 🌹 ... I married a Filipino she living here in Australia 🇦🇺 and works in house 🏠 keeping in a big 🏨 hotel... the rooms she clean is on a time limit and she has to work hard . Myself I work from 4 pm till any time up to 4 am . 6 days a week... we can’t wait to have enough money 💰 to move back to the land of stress free , relaxation and happiness, the Philippines 🇵🇭 best of luck finding a better less stressful work/ job ,👍
Relax lang pare ko. Been here in Los Angeles over 33 years and know how you feel. You need to take it easy and find a way to have less stress. Good Luck.
Been going to PI for 2 years and now my 5th time next week and as a male, I have never felt unsafe. With so many guards and police all over Manila, it offers me a great piece of mind. Other cities, have no idea.
Philippines are more safe than U.S.A, every morning 4am I walk on Roxas boulivard going to CCP and i feel much safe now. Lots of people exercise.
YORME effect
I can state with absolute certainty that I feel much safer walking around Colon street night market (Cebu) than I would on any street back in my hometown of Phoenix AZ. If I saw someone walking around the streets after sundown, I'd wonder what the hell they're up to or where they're going. That is not case in most places in the Philippines..
Filipino students don’t have to use bulletproof backpacks and regularly participate in active-shooter drills!!!
Thanks Danny, great topic.
Personally i feel much safer in the Philippines in general.
Keeping a humble, considerate profile always helps.
Thanks Sir! Great info! Salamat Po!
Laoag city is the safest in the Philippines. Compare to LA, USA
Just when you think Kuya Danny, can't top his last video, he knocks it out of the ball park again. Very good information. One should always exercise caution no matter where they are.
Ok brown nose.....
In order t be safe sa pinas:
1. Do not flaunt your riches especially in public places.
2. Ride a private vehicle if you look like mayaman.
3. Do not hire house help.
4. Have a guard dog and always Lock your doors and windows.
5. Be nice to your neighbors.
6. Build a nice house In a nice place. Do not be a sore thumb by building a mansion in the midst of squatters area.
7. Apply for a shot gun for home use.
8. Install a house alarm and CCTV.
9. Be nice to your poor relatives para Hindi sila mainggit sayo.
10. Do not pretend that you are rich so that you will not attract criminals.
Outstanding advise
You forgot #11 which is the most important I believe......USE COMMON SENSE!!!!
Nailed it, kabayan!
PinoyPapapizza Yes,that too!
philippines is a christian nation and yet it has a high level of crime rate among asian countries, their christian belief and upbringing give them the courage to perpetrate any wrongdoing and be entitled to forgiveness once they repented for it. even their cops, people in the justice system and government are among the worst perpetrators of many corruption and crimes. philippinese are considered and viewed by many as people with high immoral values despite of their christian faith. no one is safe in a country, like philippines, where the people have little respect to moral integrity and righteousness.
Thank you for this Sir.
Hey Danny, as always a good subject. Being a casual observer who lives in Canada, but plans on retirement in the Philippines (maybe splitting my retirement time between the Philippines and Canada depending on the weather) what I can say is there are a lot of deterents to crime such as armed guards all over the place as well as peoples property being fenced or walled in with often sharp shards of glass and barbed wire on the tops of those walls.
I'm not saying by any means that your statistics are wrong, .. but rather that there has to be a very high percieved chance of crime in the Philippines for people and businesses to take such measures to prevent it. I am also reminded of My first visit to the Philippines when my new wife who was living in a house in Antipolo and I took a few days to fly to Iloilo for a visit with family, and though we were only gone for 3 days, upon our return we found that her house had been broken into and robbed (even though it was a guarded subdivision) and anything small and valuable enough was gone.
Though a crime like this is reported to the guard house I wonder if this and many similar crimes actually go into the national statistics?
That it's a guarded subdivision is no guarantee at all. Chances are the culprit comes from within the subdivision.
I’m from America and live in Japan. I’ve visited the Philippines twice now and it has been a shock. Bars on all windows and doors and a protective metal fence around every home. I’ve been to over 30 countries and never seen that before.
Try driving through South Central Los Angeles if you want to see 'bars on all windows' right here in the USA
I guess you have never been to east la or ghetto areas in america
Some areas in San Diego have metal bars on homes.
@Frozen Time I live in Mexico for five years. It is very similar to the Philippines. High fences with broken bottles on top. Also, I went to the Philippines last year, and I saw a house that has electrified fence. Unbelievable!
Shock?? You are living in a bubble. Every major City in the USA has a certain area that has their doors and windows with bars. And of course, thriving liqour store and funeral homes.
I’ve lived in a medium size city in the Philippines for one year now and I feel as safe, if not safer, than i did in numerous places of all sizes that I lived across the United States. As a result, I believe the statistics you presented to be reasonable. It appears to me that the crimes here are often petty. Serious crimes seem to target politicians, environmentalists and the Fourth Estate from what I see on the evening news.
I've traveled the entire length of Luzon and there wasn't a single place I felt threatened. On the contrary, everyone was very respectable and seemed to go out of their way to make my visit enjoyable. I LOVE THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
If you’re visiting the tourist area, most likely there’s a lot of securities. Overall, Philippines is safe. You just have to watch your surroundings and don’t act/look that you have money. Now corruption in Philippines is a different story. I bought a condo a year ago. There’s no HOA committee established by condo owners. You have to go to developers admin for any issues; unfortunately they are not doing anything. They are ripping the condo owners collecting HOA dues but refusing to fix the elevators, fix the broken windows, etc. i have written a letter to Mr. Tulfo but I’m not a known person so my complaint was put aside. I’ve written a letter to HLURB earlier this year. They have acknowledged and referred my complaint to an individual. Since March 2020, I have made numerous follow up with no results. Went to our Barangay but they can’t do anything. Can’t sell my condo due to pandemic and real estate crisis.
Yes,. If you are not Rob by strangers, you will be Rob by your relatives. I tried to see if I can try to retire in the Philippines but decided not to. Your relatives problem will be your problem.
While that may be true when you are in the top side of life, it could also be to your benefit if you are in the downside of life.
....and strangers may only rob you once, while relatives will (love) rob you till death!
Nice content sir! Im really curious about our country
It really depends on the location weather in the US or the PI.
Sir Danny, thank you so much for sharing this video. It's really nice to know esp. for my husband because we will be making Philippines as our permanent retirement place in the near future. God bless you, and your wife always. Watching from South Carolina USA
Scenic and quiet islands. I'll look up the distance of these islands to AnaCortes Wa. My daughter and family
live there.Thank you for sharing.
Take out the inner cities of America and USA is the safest country in the world
It's not the "inner cities" anymore. It's all major metropolitan cities with high crime rates in the states because every bad guy has a gun nowadays. The same can't be said for the Philippines. When was the latest mass shooting in the Philippines? When was the last time a school was in lockdown because some lunatic was shooting up kids/teachers? This is everyday life in America now. This kind of crap doesn't make world news in the Philippines like it does there in the states. So NO, inner cities is not the problem, it's America's soft on crime problem.
I've been living here for 13 years and have been to a lot of different locations, both big cities and small villages. I feel just as safe or safer here walking around as in most places in the USA, and I don't see law enforcement everywhere that I look. In the USA that would, for the most part, spell total chaos.
A little common sense goes a long way. And as far as anything pertaining to senior citizens, although I'm a senior I'm not a citizen.
Your videos are great
You're doing a great job Grandpa!
I believe it all depends on where you are at in either country . If your on the island of Bohol its less likely you would ever experience anything bad happening to you. But in some areas of Manila a women might have someone snatch her cell phone or her necklace from her neck ( Hence the snatchers) In the U S if your in the late evening walking down the street alone in Queens NYC then your going to be a prime target for the muggers that are out. If your in a rural area of the same state in New york then its a lot less likely you would ever have a problem , So it really all depends on where your at in either country
Four times you used your when you should have used you're.
Mate, great video as usual. I'm originally from South Africa and there they take the cake for crime. A lot is opportunity but there is other which is hate crime on people with assets. You'll get killed just for your phone, or Nike shoes or Rayband sunnies. Crazy world and never going back there, ever!
Thank you so much for all the videos you put out! Very informative and helpful! I was wondering, do you think you can do a video on the recent decision for the Philippines to end military cooperation deal? Will that affect USA based Filipinos? Will it affect citizenship? Thank you!
There is no update available that I heard about. However, it should not affect citizenship. Hope it does not take effect. 🙂

Thanks for covering what I'm sure crosses every mind of anybody considering to retire or travel to the Philippines. Like you said, they are comforting statistics and even surprising considering the preconceived notion that most Filipinos have with regards to crime in the PI. IMHO, culture has a lot to do with it. Quite a few cultural differences to mention here. Thanks Danny!
Same as anyplace, city areas have different statistics than rural, etc. The figures may or may not apply to your area.
If you have plan to travel in the Philippines or live there for good. I would suggest you to do a lot of research which areas in the province, or cities are safer to live. There are certain areas that are not safe for foreigners especially in some parts of Mindanao. Crime is everywhere, even your friends, or neighbors some of them cannot be trusted. So, It is important that you always observe.
Look at the crime stats in East Los Angeles & Detroit.
BEN TRAVELS you forgot chicago, central california
unfortunately, Philippines does have a high crime rate compared to other ASEAN countries. One factor is, that there are just too many poor citizens in the country with that said, poor folks do not have the opportunity to find work because there are no jobs available. The country has a lot of population growth with poor families having 10 + kids. Other ASEAN countries open up their economies to foreign investors with 100% owners so that these foreign investors open shops in their country which results in creating jobs for citizens. The Philippines has not done so instead foreign investors can only own 40% ownership while the 60% must be owned by Filipino citizens.
they want foreigners to invest in their country and yet they want to own the majority of the business, this shows that they are selfish and greedy people.
But Valenzuela and Bohol, also davao is safe
It can be dangerous any where on this planet esspecially if you dont have common sense
Yes looking forward to living in Philippines. People far more courteous as you state and kind. I have traveled to the PI 14 times in the last 15 years. Never had any issues with any violence, criminal activity etc. One exception was a expensive digital camera had slipped out of my pocket in a taxi. I realized as soon as I got out as did the taxi driver. He took off as I know he seen it sitting on the rear seat. But I had his taxi number and went to police who recovered it for me. This would have never happened in the US. Also when you find yourself in places at wrong times of the day will increase your risks. I find the PI quite safe and comfortable myself.
The fiancé of my granddaughter while they were in Italy almost lost his IPhone to a snatcher, so it’s not only in the Philippines that these things are happening
I will be more scared now to walk alone here in US because of the Asian hatred towards the Asian. I was insulted twice here in Ilinois due to my race, hindi ako makapaniwala ng pagsabihan akong Asian are rude ng hindi ako pumayag na mauna sa cash register yong puting American,luckily pinagsabihan sya ng asawa nya. Masyadong grabe ang patagong sama ng loob ng mga puti ngayon due to economic reason
No you are wrong! Your census is only good for each citizen of the country. Because in the U.S. I can sleep with out anybody bothering me and stealing my food.
They have crime in Philippines just like everywhere else. I’ve known of two situations that occurred where a gun was involved. Years ago my Kuya and first cousin were shot while walking at a major crossing in there home town. Another situation involved armed robbery in a home of a friend who’s mother was the only one at home. The armed robbers were captured within a few hours. Having said all that I personally have never felt in danger. I think crime is a product of environment and most crimes can be avoided by being selective in when and where you choose to go. Just my opinion. The only crime I’ve been a part of was my Kuyas not giving my change back! Hahah
Good video I want to point something out there's more of a chance of foreigners being victims of crime in the Philippines as we are stinking rich as most locals think in the usa we aren't seen as being rich so we aren't anymore of a target then anyone else there's also a very high rate of poverty in the Philippines whereas there's poverty there will always be crime thanks for sharing
Most retirees in Philippines with good income have maids, drivers and even nurses . Retirees also have large extended families living with them. These are extra people in the house for security. Most outside chores like grocery shopping are also done by the maids and relatives thus limiting outside contact. In the US most retirees live alone in their two level 3 bedroom house with so many points of entry that a Senior could forget to lock. Culturally, seniors are also treated with utmost respect in the Philippines from getting free movies to getting in front of the line for services. I've seen Seniors treated like Rock stars in the Philippines to being invisible nobodies in Canada.
Aren't they great!
@@vloggergrandpa2707 When I was in Bacolod, every senior I saw outside was so popular. The kids would bring their grandparents to coffee shops and dinners because of the 20%+ discount. Seniors, at least in Bacolod, have so much involvement in their grandkids' social lives and it was really exciting to see. I wanted to be a Senior right there and then
that only works if you're in regular contact with relatives. if you grew up outside philippines and barely know your relatives. its a different story. also if youre finance is limited its another different story
Please don't generalize.....
What you're saying about retirees, I don't know. There may be some that meet your description, but I don't see or meet them. On the contrary, most that I meet in the subdivision don't live any different than the non retiree middle class families.
Regarding the treatment and respect for seniors, yes, that is uncalled for compared to many other countries. Usually I don't want to take advantage as foreigner and just LINE up for my turn, but the other younger Filipinos really don't understand that and push me always to the priority window. Last night I went to cinema with my family and as senior (even though foreigner) I received discount on my ticket.
Feeling safe in an environment is based on perception and history of experience. I always have arguments with my partner about that. Usually I don't lock my door. She wants to have it locked always. She is easily scared, I generally feel safe. She is Filipina, born and living here her whole life, I'm European, grown up in extremely safe countries.
Lol. There are many many places/neighbohoods in the USA that I would never go, like the south side of Chicago, etc. I feel safer in Mindanao in General Santos than those places in the USA. I laugh at the ignorance on this topic saying Philippines is dangerous or high crime from hearsay. I have heard it so many times. 🙃
My feeling. There should be more capital punishment in Philippines, not less.
Every city has bad areas. Like where I live. A few miles from my house I keep away at night. A neighborhood a couple of miles away has nicer/bigger homes, is newer & cleaner but with the homeless population, there’s a lot of car break ins. Plus more home burglaries. So there’s crime everywhere there’s people. If you live by yourself in the middle of the desert, on a remote island, or just some distant remote area, there may not be any crime. Someone can live in a unknown (only the person knows where) cave or camouflaged bunker.
Which areas and cities you you recommend for foreigners not visit or live in?
I can't recommend any. For one thing, I don't really know much about the country since I have been away for a long time. And, for another, that will be a personal choice depending on what your interest are. You want good night life, go to Manila, Cebu and some big city. You want to do agriculture (planting whatever), go to the province. It's all a personal choice. I'm not like others who say "why did you stay in Manila?" I respect each persons desire to achieve their individual objective in life.
thailand i has live countryside 7 year and newer not has need locked any door or car or not need worry thief newer.
If you still got lots of immediate families in philipines and youre planning to retire here.....no probs.....your immediate family will take care of you......but when there no one left in your family here or close relatives here.....you better retire abroad.....no one will fight for you in phils....😊😅live close to your close family or relative in phils......and youll be happy.....we live simply but happier here with our love ones!
Nes Clem ...you are right, you are safe when you live close to your Filipino relatives. But, your wallet is greatly endangered!
Guns are a lot cheaper and easier to acquire in the US than in the Phil.
That's right!
@@vloggergrandpa2707 if I own a gun in the US, and I am moving to the Philippines, can I take my gun to the Philippines?
@ C.O.G. Forevermore Sorry, not allowed.
Just use a Slingshot or make one. Cheaper than a firearm 🤪🤣🥱👎💰💰
Thanks for the informative video. I'm an American citizen that has lived in the Philippines for the last 12 years. I have lived in Davao City, Cebu City, Bgc, Taguig, Makati, Panglao, Subic Bay Freeport, and Clark, Pampanga, I generally agree with the survey except since Duterte has become President the drug problem has been reduced substantially. Since drugs are the root of a lot of crime I would say the Philippines is safer in general than it was in 2014.
If you compare a poverty-stricken neighborhood in a big inner city, I would say the USA is much more dangerous. Although I don't condone it, it is far safer for children or a young woman to be alone on the streets of Manila than a big inner city in America. Especially late at night.
Sir Danny medyo mataas ang crime rate sa US,pero ang importante ay ang response time kapag tumawag ka ng help,napakabagal sa Pilipinas.Minsan may binaril sa harap ng gate namin 8 am,tumawag ako sa police dept,mahigit 30 mins.na wala pa rin tumawag ulit ako at sabi ko nandito pa yung bumaril,neighbor ko kasi,lalong na tumagal ang dating hehehe.
Ang problema pala sa atin ay ang pulis, hindi yung crime. Hahaha
Police response in the US varies TREMENDOUSLY, but in general there are few cases in the world where the cops can intervene and help us during the commission of the crime. Usually it's just up to us to survive the event.
Hopefully we are not in a situation where it is extremely violent crime.
it is sad to say yes@@vloggergrandpa2707
statistics aside,i think that if someone were to know tagalog/cebuano/etc or whatever dialect thats in the primary living area,i think there is less apprehension about feeling unsafe
True.
I went to Zamboanga city no problem. If I go to the US ghettos even once I’m dead 😵
A chance of you surviving in the Philippines is zero if you are involve in some kind of criminal activities, having enemy in the place where you choose to stay, being involve with someone who inherit the enemies of her parents and being so stupid for drawing attention to yourself. Be nice and kind while you are out there. Never act like you are better than everyone. Filipinos are naturally friendly and helpful but dont piss them off.
Why did you compare it to US. America has 50 States while Pinas only have 3 big islands. Luzon visayas and mindanao. That’s a big disparity.
The Philippines has highest population than US.
but there are more people in the US & more land area
More in land area means you don't hear the news much. Crimes in the west coast are "seldom" heard in the east coast. Thus, it is not felt as much. Philippines, being a much smaller country, can be heard all the time. I think that is the reason we are feeling that crime in the Philippines is bad relative to U.S. The fact that there are more people are not relevant because the statistics I mentioned is per 100,000 people.
I appreciate the effort you put into making this video, but find it basically irrelevant. In both Countries there are very dangerous places to live with high crime rates, and there are safer places to live as well. Anyone moving to the Philippines would be wise to research the crime rate of the particular area they plan on moving to. Also, I understand Americans can be jailed in the Philippines with little to no justification. Unlike the USA.
What are the statistics of crime against American in the Philippines compared to crimes against Philippines in America
My wife was stranded with out gas and people there stoled her tires at night
And resell them for 15000 pesos each
You cannot compare which country is safer using surveys of people's fear and perception unless you want to present a biased picture to make it appear that one country safer than the other. The statistics you presented listed reported crimes categories people may experienced in both countries. This is where a third world country would outshine the first world countries because the criminal justice systems in these countries are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Let's begin with reported crimes, which country do you think reports accurately? Law enforcement, which country do you think enforce the law better? To those who think Philippines is safer than the US, think again! I grew up in Tondo, I know a thing or two about criminality in the Phil from the slums in Bangkusay, to Aranque and Recto scammers, and smuggling/gun running from Cavite to Olongapo. So, please don't provide a rosy statistics that may give false impression. I'm just so scared for those who might not see the true picture.
I can't agree with you more. However, if that is the only statistics available, you will have to base your opinion on "something." Can you let me ask you this: can you rely on the news you hear from CNN and CNBC? Also, we can talk about crimes here vs. there. I don't know if the white collar crimes in the U.S. is worst than the blue collar crimes in the Philippines. White collar corruption in the U.S. is more severe than the Philippines, in my opinion. Again, just watch CNN! I can't believe the injustice being displayed in the U.S. 😂😂😂
Philippine Retirement & Travels ...ha ha ha! You cannot rely on any "News Outlets" they all have their biases to the left, right and everything in between. Yes, I agree with your observation about injustices being displayed here in the US. The world sees the US as bad because everything is reported openly in the most negative tone possible. I can accept that. What I can NOT accept are the injustices that are not reported because of fear of retaliation from powerful and dictator-like government. These are the basis of my comment regarding the use of inaccurate statistics to determine which country is safer. For example, deaths involving gun. The US count is high, not surprising, because of the number of firearms in the hands of the public and somewhat reliable data reporting/collection. The count reported in the Philippines is low just like North Korea reported that there's NO covid infection in their country! Just because it was not reported, it didn't happen? Then yes, there was no EJK.
I agree, if what you are saying is true. Do you have any hard facts about that? How do you know that the count being reported is low..." just like North Korea reported that there's NO covid infection in their country!"? Are you comparing Philippines to North Korea??? Far from the truth. I'm not saying that there are inaccuracies because Philippines still does not have the tracking system that we have in the U.S. But by no means is it comparable to the corruption in N. Korea.
Except if you are in the south, you know what i mean?? Surprised there is no mention of that. People (westerners) who do not know current events, world culture etc wouldn't know about the kidnappings and lopping off of heads that have happened. No one reads anymore. I think I'll pass and go to the Virgin Islands...Love you lolo though...
When was last time someone was beheaded?? 2016??
💯💯💯💯💯💯%%%%%
Americans stick out like a sore thumb in the Phils. People in the US drive cars around most everywhere unless they are in very large cities like New York or Los Angeles where walking around takes precedent. People in the Phils walk through the streets a lot more, and from even down the street in a crowd an American or other foreigner can easily be spotted at a glance because we automatically look different. This makes statistics different for foreigners more specially regarding corruption. Mentioned above was corruption and bribery, and we could throw pick pocketing, bait and switch general business deals, and price gouging in there and make it 1,000 times worse than the USA because those are never encountered in the US throughout a whole lifetime, we won't get a higher price than you here in the US, and you won't get a higher price here either because you are from Asia. I dare say that it is virtually impossible for an American or any other foreigner to go stay in the Phils for one month and return home without being scammed at all. There are just too many ways for it to be done and Filipinos are just too good at it. it is a fact of life for there. Also, there is absolutely nothing that a foreigner can do about it other than damage control if you wish, because of that different kind of corruption mentioned above. Foreigners have very little to no rights in the Phils, can not own any land or business, and will usually lose in court. but wait, would you really want to be going to court while on vacation against a native countryman in a court of his peers? No, best is to give what they want and take it on the chin.. Filipinos can scam us and we WILL go to jail for it unless we pay the ransom immediately.. (HAHA) That is way stupid crazy but very true! When comparing Phils to the USA, calculate the stats on how many Americans want to go live in the Phils compared to how many Filipinos want to go live in the United States of America if you want an accurate number on which place is really better. Ako si Scott, Mabuhay, ang pangalan ko I si previous visitor of Phils, magandan umaga po...
I don't think those petty theft are reported. But they certainly will be captured in the survey because they do not rely on the report. 😉
Hi I just recently paid off the condo that I bought 9 years ago, I bought it with appliance package, but now the developer said that the it will take sometime for them to provide the appliances and they’re offering to write me a check for ph 50,000, and the package is consist of 11cu ft ref, full size cooking range with oven, washer and dryer, aircon, microwave and the electric oven hood. I don’t think ph50,000 can cover that,is there something I could do legally to dispute that?
Developer has the obligation to deliver the appliances to you under the contract. Unfortunately, you don't have the value of the appliances specified in the contract. I would have withheld the last 200,000 or so of your payment, or put it in escrow. You may want to get a lawyer to make sure they deliver it. I bought all my appliances while I was in Manila and it was all delivered in one week. They are trying to cheat you, my friend. It's not like the supply of appliances was affected by coronavirus!
By the way, who is the developer, if I may ask?
Philippine Retirement & Travels It’s Nuvoland Philippines Inc. Lead by Mr Menardo Jimenez of GMA7 and Mr Kevin Belmonte of Philippine Star, brother of the Mayor of Quezon City
I never heard that company. Must be a small developer. It's very important to deal with a large reputable company. I wish you luck in resolving your issues with this company.
Have you waited for 9 years to finish construction?
I am staying in IT park in Cebu. Every corner ha a policeman sanding there. Plus the buildings have security guards often outside looking around. Where I stay I hear has 90 security guards. Of ours they check your bags when you enter a mall. That would make things a bit safer. But is there a need to spend all that money for security. They seem to believe that without that bad things wold happen
Come here to san jose, California US of A....i will show you what CRIME is...hehehe...even cockroaches scamper to hide before 6pm ...YES IT IS THAT BAD ASS..HEHEHE
Are you talking about East San Jose?
Yep, I wouldn't go anywhere in some parts of SJ, CA after sunset.
Philippines has higher homicide rates compared with Bangladesh which is a poorer country.
I was robbed in pasig when I went there to visit my friend. I live here in Canada.
You UP DATE your survey that our President is PRRD. Everything are in order. We are 100% better than any other countries. This is how we are proud to be a filipino because of President Duterte brilliant governance.
It's all subjective, We were at the mall in Pagadian City and had to go through a search by armed guards at all the entrances. We do not have that in the USA so it it hard to gauge how many crimes are prevented by the armed guards ,I'm sure it is many. As far as the gun violence being much lower in the Philippines than the United States , yes it is because of uniform gun laws in the Philippines unlike the US that has a strong gun law in one city ,but the state is lax, or the state law is strong but the neighboring state is not. Plus the Philippines does not have to deal with criminal organizations like the NRA that buy our politicians and the 18th century 2nd amendment that is so highly regarded unlike the 1st amendment that has been dismantled one piece after another. Thanks Danny for this information.
Possibly terrorism watch!
I completely disagree with the statistics because Philippines has a lot of unreported crimes.
So is the U.S. and other countries. Do you think rape cases are all reported? Don't think so. If statistics is to be ignored, why are we spending so much time and money doing it? Just wondering!
@@vloggergrandpa2707 I think your reports are mostly correct based on the available statistics but I think Lydio might be on to something. I've witness several times, petty crimes being perpetrated on neighbors and fellow villagers that go unreported. This could be a stolen chicken or land squatting. Filipinos are mostly passive people and it takes a lot to anger them. It's been my experience that Filipinos generally DON'T report a crime. Also, they are not sue happy like we are here in the states.
Agreed. However, we're not looking for precise result here. For example, am I going to worry about a stolen chicken when I'm walking around? I know they probably don't get reported. Now, when someone gets murdered in my neighborhood, of course I will be concerned about that...and they do get reported. So, we are not looking for accurate reporting in the survey. Rather, we're looking for significant event that would really bother people. That probably is the reason why people "feel" that there is so much crime in the Philippines--a lot of petty stuff like pick-pockets, etc. We just have to be careful using common sense about those petty crimes. 😉
@@vloggergrandpa2707 I understand that totally. I feel much safer in the Philippines than I do here in the states. I have about six months before I retire there and I can't wait.
@@vloggergrandpa2707 I was chased with a knife by a person known to me...I even called the military but nothing happened. I was asked to settle it first in the barangay before you can go ahead and file a case.....Here in the US if there is even a domestic abuse the police will be the one to file case against the abuser....I also bought a property there in the Philippines but I think I will rent it out then sell....thanks for the info....
@8:50 Violent Gun crimes are 95% less in the Philippines than compared to America yet you still want to say there should be no restrictions to gun ownershi? That makes ZERO sense. Sorry
We are looking at two things here: gun ownership and crazy heads. Guns don't pull the trigger. It's the crazy heads that do. So do you solve the problem by getting rid of guns? Get rid of crazy heads! We treat criminals with so much compassion and we do not enforce the law the way they should be. That is where the problem is. I would rather have the gun to defend myself, specially because our police for is so unreliable. My burglar alarm sounded off, and it took the cops 3 hours to get to my house. Now, think about that!
@@vloggergrandpa2707 Well there are more crazies in America than the Philippines so that part is true. However if there were was not as much gun ownership in the USA compared to the Philippines than obviously there would be less shootings.
I agree. If you can assure me that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, will be without a gun, then I am with you. However, let's admit it. If you prohibit gun ownership, guess who will be without a gun and who will be with a gun. Law abiding citizens will not have access, but criminals will continue to have access. You know that criminals ignore the law. How is that fair, and how will your THEORY work? Let's see who will be at a disadvantage. Removing gun ownership is just one political insanity... sorry to say!
@@vloggergrandpa2707 Yes Sir I understand your point. Sadly there are just too many guns in USA and no way to get rid of them all. One more reason to move to the Philippines LOL..Thanks for your videos I do enjoy them. Stay Safe out there.
@@bannertraveller5879 ...I don't think it's better in the Philippines, yes there are less guns but it is mostly in the hands of criminals. Why do you think there is no riding-in-tandem shooting in the US? ...because there's a great possibility of return fire!
U can avoid crime if u move to Timbuktu or the caves of Afghanistan bordering Pakistan in Jalalabad 🤪🥱🤣👎
