- We must practice self preservation anywhere on the planet and at all times and the Philippines is no exception. We are the MVP, the Most Valuable Priority. Placing the needs of others before our own is a crucial mistake. Make sure we are in a position of strength and that we keep our options open at all times. Thanks for watching.

You don’t retire to take care of someone else, you retire take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of your life on your terms.
Yesssss amen
Very well said and so true
100%
Exactly
Awesome comment! Exactly.
Sage advice. If you put all your resources into a house & land for her, you essentially put yourself into a position where she no longer needs you.
I'm going to always follow your playbook. I'm going to rent a house or apartment, at least the first 2year. I'm the head of my household. I going to set a budget. I learned my lesson from the women I dealt with here in the USA 🇺🇸. Now, if I turn into Iceberg Slim, Game Over for her and her family. I have no problem throwing her ass back into the pool. I can do my own cooking, cleaning, shopping and paying bills. I will hire others to help me. But nobody pimping me.
Probably one of the most important videos that you’ve done Calvin!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks I appreciate your feedback.
Calvin, another great video! You will definitely hit over 100, 000 subs by this summer. Keep kicking out this kind of content.
Thanks brother. I'll send you the link for the panel in the morning. It'll be Monday night your time.
You know something, that's an excellent way to look at things. It's like that old traditional way that the man of the house should be the first to be served dinner. Cause if he doesn't eat and stay healthy. How can he continue to provide for the household.
Another outstanding teaching video Professor Calvin! It’s clear here that I am the head of the family and taking care of myself is number one. It came automatically how I am treated here like King Big $hit. In that, I treat everybody with respect and dignity an am honored to be part of the Philippine Nation.
Hahaha professor that's hilarious. Thanks man. Send me your email calroach1@gmail.com let's have lunch or dinner.
@@calroach1 Calvin, great video. I hope you add a part 2 or 3 parts. I must assume most of your subscribers are mature. I put others ahead of me for over thirty years. I can say with certainty; I am not the only man who placed others ahead of self. Its going to take quite some time to transform to put self first.
@@henrymcmiller2527. Everyone, remember this!!
Calvin, right on we should all consider ourselves the "MVP" , when in the Philippines without the "MVP" nothing works, the Filipina's life doesn't change until there is a MVP in her life to change it, so we have to remain the priority. Great content keeping it real.
💪🏾
Why my life is changed Sir, i dont have foriegner. I am not born rich.
I’m n the Philippines 🇵🇭 right now and I’m loving it
Right on point. Do not build a home you cannot own in the Philippines.
Unless you have some skins in the game!
I started YEARS ago telling my children this most basic FACT: You’re my kids - I’m going to help you as much as I can, but the assistance will stop after 4 years of college assistance (would have been able to pay it all before divorce ripped away half of every damn thing - another story), because my NUMBER 1 PRIORITY has to be ME so that I can avoid becoming a burden to you, if not financially - mentally (e.g. ‘hey, wasn’t that dad at the street corner holdin’ up that sign,”😂😂 SELF-PRESERVATION!
This is probably one of my favorite sunshine shoulders video so far. Please do more like this to motivate men to prioritize themselves in relationships. It’s very much needed these days!
Preach Calvin. You are so right about this. So many guys seem to lose their minds here and do crazy stuff over a woman that they would never do at home.
it happens when you thinking with the small head not using big head
Bro Calvin,
This is absolutely on point, the real nitty-gritty.
Thanks for keeping it 💯
That is some excellent advice Calvin, I have watched several Filipina vloggers here they always imply the female is the prize and the guy secondary, yet of course he is the one providing all the money. It is more apparent that there is a growing class of Filipina companion that is there purely for support and has zero concern for the guy. My mates so called 'girlfriend had to get some heart tablets for him, she was so concerned she spend the whole day in Clark SM, came back and had forgotten the tablets!
Damn that’s sad
Bounce
Immediately
You can't help others if you can't take care of yourself.
Someone needed to hear this. Might have saved someone's life now I think about it. Someone might end it all when there nest egg and philpina sale off into the sunset without them.
Excellent show i did not want it to end. I can see a group of men sitting atttentively in a class room, listening to proffessor Calvin giving us a seminar on the realities of surviving in the Philippines. One class a week.
Absolutely next level wisdom here. Thank you Calvin for that insight
I appreciate your feedback brother it means a lot.
@@calroach1 You're welcome. You've changed my views on things even here in the 🇺🇸. Powerful stuff.
Aye OG, I was watching Myk channel and I thought I liked it until I listened to you! I'd be honored to sit down and chop it up with you. Ain't not a thing u said wrong! These boys tricking, but don't want to accept that they tricking. Then they get salty bcuz ppl like you speaking the truth
Thanks
I’m more than just the mvp lol I’m the horse crossing the wilderness that everyone else is riding on. If they let the horse go lane or get dehydrated or starve then everyone is on foot and lost in the wilderness lol. Always take care of your horse. Or if you like I’m the air conditioned Suburban the entire family is riding in while crossing the desert. Allow me to run out of fuel, skip an oil change, ignore the tires and routine preventative maintenance at your peril. You could end up stuck in the desert roasting in a metal box or on foot trying to cross the desert. Take your pick, because either way they are screwed without you.
As usual, 100,% spot on. Thanks Calvin. Hope others are listening to your massage.
I'm retired American Veteran. I purchased my plane ticket and will arrive in Philippines March 8 2023. I'm not rushing to fall in love or enter relationship.
Absolutely! Yourself comes first before anything else. Nice vlog Calvin stay safe.
I listened to you Calvin.
I wondered why you kept repeating the same things?
I know now after it finally sunk into my brain.
You are in deprogramming decades of false teachings.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING!!!🙏🙏🙏
And always walk toward the traffic and not with it coming up behind you. Basic self-preservation.
I really enjoy how he communicates with the locals there. How they greet him, it seems like a nice and steady place to live. To be honest I wouldn't want to work while living there ether. I wish I was retired I am only 39 years old, I still got a long way to go.
Thank you for dropping knowledge, I'll be a passport bro soon and I'm planning on doing some traveling. Upon that I know to keep an open mind for what I may find. The 2 places that I've been wanting to travel is the Philippines and Thailand. Doing some researching before going.
Hi Sunshine. Your video is not wrong generally, but it's not totally right either. As you say, there are options, and this is especially true because situations vary. Thus, when the situation differs from what you describe, options kick in to move beyond your "me first" approach. I know because I am married to a beauitiful older filipina who is totally loyal, caring, loving, and considerate to me first Soon we will be celebrating our second anniversary, and I have never had an issue about her handling all the money. She listens to my priorites for us and gives me an accounting for every peso spent. As an American expat, I consider myself the luckiest guy in the Philippines. Trust is the key, trusting and being trustworthy.
Sounds like you are on the way out.
It sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about.@@gregorylatta8159
Good advice for anyone. Keep your nest egg ball in your own hands lol. Wrap the tool till you find the one you want forever.
Another great video Calvin. I just half way through it and I had to give likes
Thanks you for your honesty brother, your channel keeps its real
Calvin I plan to move there next year from Missouri. I am a single retiree that is well to do and plan on staying that way . I already have people to take care of and that’s my grandkids. I plan on renting and having a maid from a reputable maid company so I will know they did a background check. I’m going to stay single and if I do meet someone, she will never move in , ever .
Great Plan!!!
Calvin, you need to some content on the does and don'ts about marrying a Filipina in the Philippines. What are your rights if you are married to a Filipina and live in the Philippines. Guys need to informed so they don't make a self induced fatal commitment. Living with a GF is one thing, being married is totally different, no matter the country. We also need to understand the Philippine laws on cohabitation.
We can't depend on Calvin for every dam thing. One should do their own research too. Marriage anywhere in the world is big. One should due their super due diligence before even considering it.
Thanks for sharing valuable information content Calvin 👍
_BeautifulThumbnail_ 💜
Thank you and heads up on your part as we need to be reminded from time to time. You are right on the money as usual. This podcast is gold in our pockets.
Thanks Calvin, I needed to hear this.💪🏽💪🏽
Thanks Calvin, best video ever. Keep it up.
That's good advice anywhere you are, self preservation is extremely important.
Over COMPENSATION!!!! Loneliness, low self esteem & co dependence are ALL conditions of damaged masculinity: old age can do that to a fella, STAY STRONG BROTHERS 🤔😬😬✌️
Calvin is the wise uncle i never had!
😂😂😂
Checking in from Tampa, FL Great video
You are not Wrong Amigo!
Well Struck.
Brilliantly Stated.
Thx a Ton for the Post.
another great video. you made all the points. what an awesome guy.
Dang I'm about to come over there alone at almost 80 pretty good shape for my age however
having some 2nd thoughts.
Your video is right on time and sure makes sense. Normally subscribe to what you have blogged today most likely why I am having 2nd thoughts about mail
Security & being able to get finances while in the PI. Am a Army & Navy vet. and been to the PI several times while in the Navy back in the late 70's. Actually spent several days in Dumagette on our 205' Fleet Tug.
Having been a Vietnam Vet I am a custom to looking over my shoulder.. Doing this alone concerns me. Have already bought my ticket. After reading today's blog just trying to be smart about this. Any thoughts anyone?
Thank you all.
Come on over and check it out. It's not rocket science and you don't have to stay permanently. I would forward my mail to a trusted family member or friend. Gaining access to your money won't be a problem at all.
I agree 100% well said Calvin
You got that right. Take care of ones self, at all times.
Amen brother Calvin, the Truth according to world of Reality. 😎
Certain truths are universal and others are situational. Much of what you talk about not only applies to the Philippines but the world in general . A captain and a capable first mate is better than a partnership where one brings 90% and the other only 10%.
Very nice neighborhood you filmed this in. Loved the greenery.
Powerful video: WISE WORDS!!
Very true very informative thank you for your insight you have some very good insights
That old saying never give more than you can afford. Best thing to do is rent when you can’t own anything over there that’s common sense
I needed to hear that thanks 👍
Thanks for looking for us. I love you my brother.
I love you back 💪🏾
Guys stop chasing used P that has been ran through take care of you you come first
Well said and everyday aother man will be doing the same thing in the name of love
A lot of wisdom here, Calvin. Thank you!
Great reminder of the priorities!
And he had another option. While the property has to be in a Pinoy’s name, he could have signed a 25 year lease. While contracts between married couples in the Philippines are not valid, anyone else is okay. And if he had a lease, he could move the girl friend out or move and rent the house out. The added benefit is that it keeps the woman honest knowing she lives there by his grace/lease agreement.
But of course the smart move is to never spend on any land in the Philippines for it’s a suckers bet as a foreigner.
Not married no kids but still not retired, trying to get there but I have figured out some of this life that I have. One filipina I might have married but I couldn't get past some things...
Awesome message thanks for sharing.
Thanks John
Hi Calvin , I watch your videos quite frequently and as many other men agree with your recommendation s .Myself , I’m a retired Air Force veteran spent 20 years active duty . My wife is Filipina . We’ve been married 12 years currently residing in Southern California . My wife visits her family about every 2 years at Nueva Acura , panganisan. At age 50 , I looked like the picture of health . Im now 63 years of age . In 2018 I had a cancer diagnosis which changed my life forever. I had my surgery at a VA facility and I’m doing ok , cancer has not returned . My wife and I have a good marriage , bought a house together here in Ca. She works as a caregiver in Hunnington Beach . Thankfully with my financial mindset , we’re doing well. On a final thought , just curious ?. How secure are you with the medical there in the Philippines ?. At 63 years old I would visit Philippines , but never live there long term . If your health was to take a turn for the worst , would you trust the medical establishment there ?. I heard Tialand has excellent medical. I here many expats say they feel safe there . Myself , I have different views , however I do enjoy listening to content from different expats in you tube . Take care
Thanks for your feedback. My son was born 2 months premature here in the Philippines and was given a 50/50 chance to live. He spent 26 days in a WWII incubator and the doctors and staff nursed him back to life. He's a healthy and intelligent 10 year old boy now. In the urban cities the healthcare is good. It's when you get outside of those cities that you may have problems.
You have tri care and there is good medical in and around Manila
Keeping it real!! The truth is the truth.
Spot on! MVP 4 Life!
Great video Brother...universal wisdom ✌🏿🇺🇲
“….they’ll probably cut his damn head off.” 😂😂. Not sugar coated !!!
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the video Calvin!!
sound wisdom...
Looking good, O.G.! Enjoying the content,always. SYSBM 🇵🇭🌴🌴🌴✈️✈️✈️✈️✊
Awesome solid advice!!!
250000 thousand dollars invested in mutual funds at 10 percent return a year would give you 2088 dollars a month. It dont take a genius to live like a king in the Philippines.
Great point,….but it does take financial discipline and common sense!
Let me know when you publish your book ;)
True honest advise.
So True Cal!
Calvin, this may sound like a crazy question, but I am going to ask you anyway. I lost my beautiful and loving traditional wife 6 years ago to a brain tumor. I am planning to travel to the Philippines for vacation and to possibly move there permanently. I am retired, in my 60s, in very good physical condition with no medical issues. My question is, is it possible to live there with just having friendships without a romantic connection? I have become accustomed to living alone and I enjoy the freedom of traveling when and where I want without approval or drama. I just want to live there, make friends and travel the country without emotional attachments or live in arrangements. Thank you for your very informative videos. All the best to you and your family.
My condolences on the loss of your wife. Yes it's very possible. It's difficult because of the attention women here give you on top of being beautiful and friendly. I have a friend living near me who is single, single. And he's happy.
@@calroach1 Thank you, my brother for your reassuring response to my question. I look forward to meeting you one day in person and joining your circle of single friends and neighbors. All the best to you and your family on this holiday season.
250,000 damn!But that's just one of many but foreigners will continue to do so
I like what you say
Another great vlog, Calvin!
Touchdown!
You lost me on the some details but I gather someone spent their nest egg on a house. I don’t know what the 600,000 Mossi Me Nice Guy part was, same guy or different guy? I also don’t know whether the 12,000,000 peso guy has Social Security to fall back on when his girlfriend throws him out and the Philippine Fantasy turns in Philippine reality. I would advise the following though: if a brother Ex-Pat is in a 3 point stance to buy real estate to improve their Filipina’s life and enjoy their own, make it a condo. I know, over priced for what you get and a house maybe be a much better deal but… you can’t get kicked to the curb when fantasy flames out into reality. “Captain Save a Ho”. Dude you are priceless.
Mr. Nice Guy spent 600k pesos to rescue a girl from a sex ring. The other guy has social security but the woman says it's not enough.
@@calroach1 Wow you hear some douses. Thanks
Good stuff, man.
First law of nature is Self Preservation
I've seen that city block long house at the start of your video before. But I forget if you know the story of who owns it. Must be someone with a few bucks in the bank!
It's empty except for dogs in the yard. I'm sure there's a caretaker.
Always want my best interests because my best interest is a guarantee that the household benefits.🌄🦍
Good one!
Planning my trip to cebu, looks like may 3 to June 1 hopefully weather will still be good. Looking for a wife or at least a "tune up"
May will be nice. June is start of the wet season.
If the golden goose (or money tree) is not taken care of it will not be able to provide for others.
So poignant... Great conversation!
"A" number one !
Passport Bros are from all races & cultures. I am 61 and found a beautiful, widowed Filipina aged 53. Just one site has tens of thousands of Filipina women of all ages looking to marry a foreign man. Many have degrees and are well educated. My lady has 2 degrees & now lives with me in Australia. She has 2 adult children and weighs 59kg (130 pounds). We belong to a Filipina church in our local area. All the adult women are Filipina who are married to Australian men. All of the Australian men in the church are divorced from Australian women. All of these men have lost their wealth and their children through the family court system. These Filipina women have given these Australian men a second chance at life, and in some cases given these men children who are raised to respect their father. The contrast is unbelievable.
Another funny story. Early in our relationship I asked her what she understood about feminism. She said that she had heard the word but did not know what it meant. When I explained the effects of feminism in the West, her first response was that she now understood why there were so many foreign men in her country looking for a wife.

brian what is the name of the website ?
Another spot on video 👏
SSS: YOU Are The NUMBER ONE
Crushing it
He burned $215,000usa😢 damn
Calvin damn shipmate your ass nailed it! Saving this video to my phone.
Thanks brother I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It's batman no it's superman no it's the greatest hero known to man it's Captian save a h@e lmao
🙏
Captain 🧑✈️🧑✈️🧑✈️, CAPTAIN SAVE A HO!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Damn - can’t make this sh*t up - but Calvin can🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
So basically in my opinion you say it's not worth it going there. I mean you can't own the land but you own the structure. And if she evicted you then there's nothing you can do about it. The only option I heard is a condo and even that's sketchy with the fees on it going up. I respect your opinion brother but I'm good cause all this sounds like a red flag waving.
I'm saying make decisions that are beneficial to you wherever you are. This is a great place to retire.
@@calroach1 what about condos do you have any pros and cons about that?
