      Great video EVAN! Buying a property in a foreign land can be very challenging. The process can be meandering as compared to acquiring here in the US, for instance. I've gathered, there are stories of scammers who pose as sellers, fixers etc. Buyers beware, and do their due diligence when in search for property ownership. I was wondering if you can make a video on how to buy in Pi. Thank you.

    Thank you for showing the pros and cons of living in the Philippines in a realistic manner that foreigners, especially Americans, can relate to. It's not the place for everyone, but if you can overlook the cons and merge into the local mentality, then you'll probably be happy. If one has the means, the best of both worlds would be to have a vacation home in the RP and another home elsewhere in the world, but that is only for the lucky few.

    The unbelievable thing with the Philippines is the poverty surrounded by immense wealth. In the Philippines 95% of the cash is in the top 5% hands, it is despicable the greed and corruption. In Australia 90% of the wealth is in the bottom 95% hands, Filipinos really need to get rid of the leaders they have and get new ones. The whole country appears to be about squeezing money out of the poverty struck people, pay them nothing, give them nothing, I’m no communist or socialist but this type of top heavy privilege leads to revolution.

      These subdivisions have existed for a very very long time now, we also have middle class neighborhoods, the only reason why foreigners aren't aware of these places is because you wouldn't be allowed in if you weren't invited by a homeowner. Another reason is because foreigners aren't allowed to purchase or own land in the Philippines, therefore you're not really the target market of these properties, as a foreigner you could only purchase a condominium unit. If you would like to stay in these large mansions, then your only option is to rent them.

    Little off in computation and conversion. You're assuming 1 sq m = 10 sq ft when it's actually 10.764. So, that P320,000/sq m is more like $5,946/10 sq ft., not $6,400/10 sq ft., assuming the exchange rate is P50 = $1. Just saying.

    I am Filipino by descent but 3rd generation American. Born & Raised in Hawaii and resided over 68 yrs in the U.S. My great grandfather & grandmother both came from the Philippines in
    the late 1800. (1897) As a result, I have taken a keen interest in observing the Filipinos and their history. The Filipinos have been provided with great Financial, economic and physical
    support from the U.S, China and Many other countries over their existence. Sadly, this may have taken away their Incentives to enhance their culture, improve their livestyle and attain pride in themselves. They have become followers and subservient especially to Caucasians, where they have surrendered themselves as inferior. Even with Education and Financial assistance from their relatives who work abroad, they do not and cannot improve themselves.
    The rich of that country (most of it gained illegally & from the working class) jealously guard
    their wealth and are afraid to Invest into their countrys' Government, Infrastructure and modernization. Money invested into gainful ventures (usually given by other countries) are stolen and kept by the rich. The country appears a little "modern" in a couple of their few
    large cities (Manila, Cebu City) Otherwise, its people still live like 3rd world Countries existence. No
    Retirements, Medical or Food assistance for the working class. Despite these shortcomings,
    the few that gain some financial stability are proud, "snooty" and ridiculously disgusting!
    Spain gave many of its good cultures and features. It also gave its bad inheritant nature.
    I have not bothered to speak or learn Tagalog or any dialects as was not taught to me.
    I placed my efforts in Japanese, Korean and Spanish. this has been incredibly helpful.
    Whenever a possible Honest Leader appears in the P.I. That person is quickly eliminated.
