My Father and I are thankful to each and everyone of you! The Philippines has given my father a home, a loving wife, a son and a relaxing life in the tropics that most foreigners could only dream of. And because of that, my father is forever grateful. We might make a part 2 soon so stay tuned 🙌🏻 Cheers guys!
Filipinos are very welcoming people especially to foreigners , women specifically prefer white foreign nationals than the local men, that’s the truth. But when we go visit their country specifically in America and Europe they are not as nice, they are so unkind. They have a different attitude towards us. Sad but that’s the reality we have to face.
I found myself smiling while watching your video. I'm a Filipino and left Philippines same year as you moved in on 1994, I lived outside my country for 29 years now and this year I decided to go back to spend the rest of my life here. Mabuhay!
Glad you enjoyed my Father’s video 🥰❤️ Wow! That’s incredible! How was life like 29 years away from your hometown? Happy to hear you are back! Mabuhay! ❤️
Love your father!! It's like listening to my father recounting his life and experiences. Only we're from Taiwan. I've been in the US 40 years. Will be moving to the Philippines end of this year with my Filipina wife. My dad is now in his 90's, and in relatively good health. Respect to the men that brought us here.
Thank you Kaby! 🤗🙌🏻 your father is in his 90’s and still kicking? Now that’s amazing! Much respect to him! wow that sounds exciting. After 40 long years, you’re moving to a foreign land with your Filipina wife! We hope you enjoy The Philippines as much as we do and we wish you and your wife all the best in life! ❤️🙌🏻 Cheers!
We love how your father has adopted and appreciated the simple life here in our country .. thank you for such beautiful life experience by a French man who learned to love and respect our Filipino simple life and culture ..
youre dad is truly a man, adopting to his environment for the sake of his family🤙 french oldies is same behavioral traits to filipinos. 👍 i can see you are good as your father. 👍
Thank you so much! 🙌🏻 I agree. I’ve met a lot of french oldies that are so amazing to be around with. I appreciate that! I hope to be as great of a man as he is in the future! ❤️🙌🏻
I am a Filipino, married to a Thai. I lived here for 52 years already, more than half of my life. I adapted the Thai culture, without abandoning my own culture. Thank you for the understanding of my in-laws. Doing the right attitude, I never have problems with my host country. I will be your new subscribet in your channel. More power to your family, specially to your mom and dad.😊😊😊❤❤❤
What an amazing life you have! 🥰🙌🏻 Thailand is incredible and we absolutely enjoyed our time there when we visited before the pandemic. We wish you and your family good health and a prosperous life in Thailand. 🙌🏻 We appreciate you watching our video, Krishna ❤️🙌🏻
The next thing we would like to hear is the story about both of your parents when they first met in Cebu afterwards their struggle in life during those years. Thanks.
Thanks bro! He was kinda hesitant at first because he did not want to share anything personal but once I told him what the topic was all about, he was game 🙌🏻🇵🇭
I very much admire your Dad. It's amazing how he has lived in the Philippines for 30 years now. Thank you for choosing to settle in our beloved country. A lot of foreigners dream of living in the Philippines. Your Dad looks well and happy.
Thank you, Lerma! ❤️🙌🏻 The Philippines has given him everything he wanted in life. A loving wife, a kid and a home. Plus, he gets to enjoy the nice warm sun and beautiful beaches. He is indeed well and happy! 🥰❤️
Wow, I am happy for your father. I agree with his comparison between France, in fact Europe to Philippines. I love taking vacations in the Sourh of France, our favorite place in Europe. It's a very beautiful region.I am a filipino living in Belgium. And yes, my hubby also thinks the same, like your father. We are planning to retire in the Philippines soon.
I appreciate you watching the video! 🙌🏻🤗 thank you so much for the compliments! Yes, South of France has a different aura and scenery. I’m sure your hubby will enjoy his retirement with you here in the Philippines! ❤️ you guys take care!
It's nice having you in the Philippines, my native homeland. I lived in Germany 25 yrs and now in th US for 22 yrs. In both countries, I have adapted myself locally, too. 😊
Sharing the experiences of your dad's staying here in the Phil is a good news to us because he made promo for the Phil making our nation be known by other countries thank very much sir
"Never mind the time the important is your contact with people"hahahaha I can relate to this statement, its true, even people are late in an event but when they meet everybody enjoy each company,lots of jokes, foods, singing and chatting
Yes! Even Vanessa and I are so guilty of this! 😅 But when there’s fiesta or even simple occasions, you can see how amazing the human contact of Filipinos are. So much laughter and food as you said ❤️🙌🏻 And don’t forget dancing like budots after a few shots of Tanduay or Tuba 😅🥰❤️
Thank you for the interview with your dad! What an amazing life! In this world full of turmoil and discord between nations and peoples, it is individuals such as your father with their brave spirit of adventure that literally hold the world together. I mean this literally! I mean just imagine, 30 years ago, one beating heart of the french countryside flew to the phillipines, and now there are countless beating hearts with warm ties to France. The world is a brighter place, and I mean this seriously.
I just subscribed today. Maybe you can make vlog with your father maybe about French cuisine, or hand working with your father or maybe doing some gardening...or whatever....to include him sometimes in the vlog with his French accent makes it interesting esp. when they speak there is music in the air bec of their accent. Besides, it will make him biel young to be active in the vlog😮😊
I admire your Dad for his interest and love of thePhilippines, my country, although I’m now a Canadian citizen, I always find time to go visit home and had a good one each time I’m with some family members, am always proud to be a Filipino, thank you for sharing your Dads experience in life, it’s worth living for!!!
Thank you so much ❤️ We are glad that you enjoyed watching my Dad’s video. Happy to hear that you never lost track of your roots and still cherish your filipino side 🥰🙌🏻 Thank you for being proud Kabayan! We wish you a happy and successful life in Canada ❤️🙌🏻 Cheers!
Wow that is absolutely awesome! Your dad has been to many places, but chose to settle down in the Philippines, embraced our culture and was blessed by a good-looking son! He sounds pretty contented and happy after 30 years! Thank you so much for all the positive compliments. Wishing you and your family more happy years living in the islands. Halong!😊🕊🙏
Thank you so much! ❤️🙌🏻 funny how life works. He never even thought of coming here before he met that American in a restaurant. I appreciate the kind words ❤️ take care!
@@VanandJoe welcome lods as long as you're good I& grounded I'll always love to watch your videos I hate hypocrite people who showed kindness and wellness in front of the camera but the attitude is different on what they're showing but I cam discern it.
Nice to see and hear from your Dad Joe, Wow 30 years in the Philippines. Yes your father is right Philippines is paradise. I'm 30 years in Canada and I don't like snow and long winter anymore. Dumaguete is my home too.
Thank you so much! 🙌🏻 I’m glad that you feel the same way about the Philippines. Hope to see you one of these days in Dumaguete 🤗 As for me, I love winter 😂 I guess that’s because I don’t experience it on a daily/yearly basis.
Very interesting! Your Dads story is fascinating to me. I will be retiring to the Philippines after 60 years in New York City. My moms family is originally from Southern France (Marseille). Would love to meet you and your Dad when I make my way to Cebu in 2024. My Best to your family.
Hi Leon! Wow! That’s incredible. Best of luck on your retirement 😁🙌🏻 we are not in Cebu anymore but in Dumaguete. A neighboring Island a few hours away from Cebu city ❤️ Hope to see you soon! Stay safe ! 🙌🏻
Hi Joe... i have to admire your father even its only in video seeing him first time. He has a resemblance on character with my late father who is a guerilla veteran in WW2. He speaks gently and intellegently with humility just like how i see my father in the old days.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ Your late father was the man! He sounds like an amazing individual who had a very colorful life. May his beautiful soul rest in peace 🙌🏻❤️
I really enjoyed listening to your dad. I understand and I relate to everything he has to say. Your dad, more than any of these opinionated Western You tubers influenced my opinion to move to the Philippines to retire in a positive way.. He says more by his actions and how he lived his life than all the others going on about how smart they are about the Philippians. This is an invaluable interview and I'm glad I found it.
Thank you so much Michael! My dad will be so happy reading this 🙌🏻 I wish you all the best on your retirement and I hope you will love the Philippines as much as we do! ❤️
@@michaelmclaughlin7133 You are making better choices listening to a man who has been in Philippines 30 years without pushing youtube for money as the main objective. Best wishes as you figured it out where most never will!
Sir, thank you so much for finding Cebu Philippines as best 2nd Home choice for you and Family. Your English is beyond understandable for me. Not to worry, and really much appreciated for speaking the English language for us viewers to understand your video perspective. Have a good life in Cebu Philippines and Amping sa kanunay Manong! Cebuano pud Ko...
Thank you so much! 🙌🏻 sorry about that, that is why I placed captions on the bottom in case 😅 I appreciate your comment! My mom is from Cebu and my parents lived there for a few years but moved to Negros. Daghang salamat! Amping sd kanunay. Hope to see you in one of our travel vlogs in Cebu soon!
a joy to learn of fathers life...glad to see he is well and kicking...he seems to understand the Filipino mentality and how they react to others....as he said, it is us that must adapt to their culture, not them adopting to ours....Nice to meet you Charles.....Davila, Ilocos Norte, Philippines...
Merci John 🙌🏻 I remember visiting Ilocos Norte back in 2011. What a beautiful experience that was. We explored the area, saw the amazing windmills and road a Kalesa in Vigan while exploring the Spanish colonial town.
That was interesting, I'm from a completely different European country, and yet, living here in the Philippines I have EXACTLY the same sentiments as this Gentleman.....I find it's somewhat like my country 30 or 40 years ago.
Your Dad is your adorable. He is right when he say that if want to live in another country, we should be the one to adopt their culture, not the host country. God bless you, Sir.
I like your dad's story about his military career; I joined the military (USN)recruited in Subic Naval Base in 1973 and retired in 1993 same time your dad joined the French military. I was 20 when I joined; I stayed and worked worked another 25 years before retiring for good 5 years ago. I did plan to go back to Baguio city after military retirement so I had a house built in 1986 but decided to work on a second career until retired again. I knew a lot of Filipinos retired from the military and went home for good.
Thank you for your service! You have been living such a colorful life ❤️🙌🏻 Baguio is a beautiful place and you’ve built a house there. How amazing is that!
30 years of living in the Philippines and still love it there, while most Filipinos want to get out. If we could only see the Philippines in the eyes of these foreigners, I think many Filipinos who have migrated and have earned enough pension would want to go back home and reconnect with the motherland. Still, it needs a lot of courage and wisdom to leave a life of convenience and go back to a simple yet inconvenient life we were used to as a former Filipino. Your father saw those things that we Filipinos tend to ignore. I’m one of those looking at Philippines right now in your father’s point of view.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! 🙌🏻 you are right. Most Filipinos leave because there are better job opportunities in other countries. But I did stumble upon some locals who actually criticize The Philippines not knowing how lucky they are to be born in such a beautiful country. Every country in the world has their own fair share of problems. We just need to be grateful and see things in a positive perspective.
Hello, new subscriber from California👋🏼 I happen to come across your channel and enjoyed watching this really insightful interview. I appreciated hearing your father’s life experiences, reflections and wise advise. Living in this time, with so many people immigrating to other countries, it’s important to hear that you should adapt to the new country you’re in, to be respectful, to observe without judgement, to learn the culture, customs. Also, if you immigrate to another country I think it’s important that one learns the language and doesn’t try to change the culture but rather accept and assimilate. You seem to have great parents, I wish you shared a photo of your mom and dad from 30 years ago😉 God bless them and may they enjoy many more years together.
Thank you so much for subscribing ❤️🙌🏻 We are glad you enjoyed watching my Father’s video 🤗 You are absolutely right!!! ❤️ thank you for confirming what my father said. I am lucky to have amazing parents. There will be a part 2 soon and I will show you guys a picture of my mom and of them together. ( i’m not sure if my mom is up for an interview as she is camera shy ) God bless you too Jules! ❤️🙌🏻
I appreciate hearing this from someone that been there for 30 years and still loves it there. I love that he went to different countries first before coming to the Philippines
Respect to your dad for making the effort to do most of this in English. His English is great. But when hearing him speak French he all of a sudden united as a person. Makes me realise how hard it is for an expat living and trying to communicate in a non native language.
Absolutely. He didn’t speak a word of English when he first came here and even brought a dictionary around 😅 so learning English was really his main goal. I think that’s what makes the Philippines so inviting for ex-pats knowing Filipinos can speak English so well.
@@VanandJoe I am a Brit and I know how proud the French are (rightfully so) of their culture. That he found the Philippines a place to call home speaks volumes for the Philippines. Language and culture wise there would have been easier options for him.
that is very true. There’s a few tropical countries out there that speak French but he decided to live here and had to go through learning a new language ( English ). Much respect to my dad. I appreciate the kind words! 🙌🏻 Are you in Britain or did you move to a different country as well?
@@VanandJoe I live in the Netherlands just outside Amsterdam. But have always been fascinated with Asia, ever since being a little kid. There is a trend here with Northern Europeans looking to retire somewhere. I am not near that age yet. People used to pick Spain for example. Your father said something that is consistent with what I have seen on a lot of vlogs and heard via via. That the Philippines have an open culture. I have heard as well a lot of the accessibility comes from you also having a good sense of humour.
Oh wow! Hope you’re accomplishing your dreams in the Netherlands. Once you hit retirement, Asia is definitely a top choice. South East in particular. That is very true! The Philippines does have an open culture and as long as you respect and adapt, then you are most welcomed here. Locals will love you and take care of you 🙌🏻
Love this video. Hats off to your dad. He clearly put a lot of effort into speaking in English. I always have so much respect for people who put effort into speaking in a non-native tongue. Really glad I stumbled upon this video this morning.
First time to watch your video. I like what your father said. I admire his being humble and knows how to adapt to Filipino culture. God bless your family
En Francais est tres bon ! Love to hear the French, even the French accent ! Yes, a person must be flexible and adapt to the country you’re living in, tres simplement ! Anyway, nice vid, be nice if your mom showed too..bon soir 🙏🏻🌴
Merci Norris! 🙌🏻❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed listening to my dad. I will try to make a video with my mom soon although she is very camera shy 😅 I am also planning to make a part 2 with my father soon.
Hey man interesting video and an amazing insight for me , I’m 7 months away from making the move to live permanently in the PH (I’m not French I’m British but similar story to your dad) Salamat and Ingat always
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching my Father’s video ❤️🙌🏻 That is so exciting! Which Island did you choose? We wish you the best of luck with your new life here in The Philippines soon and we hope you’ll embrace the culture with an open heart❤️🙌🏻
I have been considering making the Philippines my retirement home. You mentioned that France has changed the past 30 to 40 years. I can tell you the same has happened in the United States. I'm ready to live in another country and I like the fact there are many English speaking Filipino's.
That’s a great choice to make Daniel. Indeed, most first world countries have evolved into a stressful environment. We are sure you’ll love it here. We recommend you visit some popular islands and then decide where to build a home as each island have their own beauty and charm 🙌🏻❤️
I have known some foreigners living for many years in the Cebu area. Mostly from U.S., veterans who have pension and are living large. Has a new truck and with servants. Superb.
What a wisdom..time is not important...most important is the contact..he is right as what people is practicing in the Philippines...no matter what is the cause or pressing issue of concern..what is impor🎉tant is you show up even to the last minute...that counts for most of us..but of course when help is needed or it is really top urgent or life threatening...we willl likely to appear as fast as the lightning...
Shoutout from a Leyte Pinoy in Scandinavia ❤ Love it 😍 thats what my wife and I planning to leave in the Philippines when we get hopefully old. God bless…
Even without introducing himself, I can guess he is French by his accent. 😊 J’adore ! Trente ans aux Philippines ? Ça fait plaisir d'entendre qu'un français a pu vivre ça aussi longtemps. You’re father is right with the watch. Everyone is in a rush here in France so les gens sont trop stressés. Bonjour from Paris! 😊 Now I’m more inclined to retire in my home country the Philippines.
He did his best with English 😅 thank you for your wonderful comment! I would agree. I saw life in Paris back when we visited in 2017 and it looked very hectic and everyone was in a rush 😅 but aside from that, Paris is very beautiful! Best of luck on your retirement and hope you live the best life both in Paris at the moment and here in the Philippines soon 🙌🏻❤️
Funny thing is that before I learned he's french, I somehow knew already because of the accent in his english, the "h" added or subtracted. I am glad that he found a home in our country. Long life to you, sir!
Now I understand why France people somehow relate to our culture and lifestyle. I like France people, they're not judgemental, they're somehow knows how to adapt our simple life eventhough they are far more advanced compared to our country. I say this because of the other vlog of Go with Flo. She accepted her Filipino boyfriend with open arms and understanding and she adjusted to her Filipino boyfriend lifestyle. Salute French people! 🤘🙏
I enjoyed watching the video , especially when your Dad started speaking french Dad . Although I do not speak language , I like the sound of it .The French language is a beautiful language . Do you have an experience to leave in France . My impression is that French people are lay back people .While I was in France , I watched them laughing and talking while strolling in the avenues . Dined in a side walk restaurant eating delicious foods and sipping wine . But my impression of a french people is not what I thought and your Dad said , that French people have a very hectic life .
Hi Manuel! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the compliments ❤️🙌🏻 I never tried living in France although my last visit there was just for a week before heading back to Germany. You’re right, French are laid back and they enjoy sipping wine and have a great time but I think my father was generalizing mainly on the big cities where the stress of keeping up with expenses has taken over. Although you do still see the old french way of living in smaller towns. When you came to France, which city did you visit?
@@VanandJoe Me and my wife rented a car and toured Europe way back year 2000 . Spent 2 days in Paris , visited famous places in the city and enjoyed eating . Baguette .
Oh wow! That’s amazing! Definitely in our bucket list and crossing my finger that will happen soon! I’m happy you enjoyed Paris. I actually have a crazy story that happened in Paris when we were there back in 2017 which I will share one of these days 😅
Do a video on your Dad's French Army experience as a Paratrooper and Infantryman. Thanks, We wish you the best of luck in growing your channel. God Bless.
I have a friend who are from sutter creek, California. They moved to cadiz city, a small city in the province of occidental negros, Philippines. Living large, has a wide sugarcane farm, trucks, tractor, field workers and servants.
Hi everyone. My Father has a new video available in 2 hours! He explains how he managed to build a beach house in the Philippines and gives us a house tour! Stay tuned guys!
Hey mate, your Dad seems like a wonderful gentleman and a very humble and sensitive man. I am a similar age to your Dad and I can relate to his dreams of yester-year. You seem like a wonderful son and I can see many of your Dad’s personality traits in you, for example, your gentle mannerisms and sensitivity. I hope one day my dreams of owning my house and land will come true, albeit I am almost out of time. I also hope that one day my daughter, who is a similar age to you, will respect me as you clearly do your Dad. Thanks for a lovely video and story!
I appreciate you sharing ❤️🙌🏻 thank you for the kind words. I do look up to him and I know your daughter feels the same way with you. Maybe she isnt showing it much but it is there 🥰 It is never too late! When there’s a will, there’s a way! I wish you all the best! Cheers! 🙌🏻
You know what is the most beautiful story that i hear from your dad is,wihout any hesitation to choose the philippine for a living and build a family.i'm sorry for my english.i just want to try speak english.thank you for you dad beautiful story.
Salute to both of you sir. Thank you for embracing our filipino culture ,thats what a filipino culture that most foriegner love most ,friendly ,hospitable ,accomodating and lives a simple life ,specially in the rural areas ,although ,there is a lot of changes compared to years ago, anyway enjoy life in the Phillippines.
Thank you so much Cora! 🥰🙌🏻 You’re right, there is a lot of changes but The Philippines remains special. What you’ve mentioned above is absolutely true ❤️

Goosebumps! This is such an amazing comment! You are absolutely right 🙌🏻❤️ my father will be very happy reading this. Thank you so much!
I agree 100% and couldn’t have have said it better.
I just subscribed today. Maybe you can make vlog with your father maybe about French cuisine, or hand working with your father or maybe doing some gardening...or whatever....to include him sometimes in the vlog with his French accent makes it interesting esp. when they speak there is music in the air bec of their accent. Besides, it will make him biel young to be active in the vlog😮😊
😂wow so funny #Filipinotime😅
Thank you Sir❤
Yes my husband is Swedish absolutely he's more particular in time even 1 minute late matters to him🎉
I have neighbor whom married French ....they sisters who found their love of their life in France and they are living in France until now.
I admire your Dad for his interest and love of thePhilippines, my country, although I’m now a Canadian citizen, I always find time to go visit home and had a good one each time I’m with some family members, am always proud to be a Filipino, thank you for sharing your Dads experience in life, it’s worth living for!!!
Thank you so much ❤️
We are glad that you enjoyed watching my Dad’s video.
Happy to hear that you never lost track of your roots and still cherish your filipino side 🥰🙌🏻
Thank you for being proud Kabayan!
We wish you a happy and successful life in Canada ❤️🙌🏻
Cheers!
Your father's story is so admirable and good to hear. Thank you for documenting it.
I appreciate the kind words ❤️ his life is truly inspiring and I thank you for listening 🙌🏻
Wow that is absolutely awesome! Your dad has been to many places, but chose to settle down in the Philippines, embraced our culture and was blessed by a good-looking son! He sounds pretty contented and happy after 30 years! Thank you so much for all the positive compliments. Wishing you and your family more happy years living in the islands. Halong!😊🕊🙏
Thank you so much! ❤️🙌🏻 funny how life works. He never even thought of coming here before he met that American in a restaurant.
I appreciate the kind words ❤️ take care!
yes i want more stories from your dad. i do understand well his culture because i am pinoy living here in italy. i subscribed
Thank you for subscribing! ❤️ I will definitely make another video with him in the future. Thank you for suggesting.
divertiti in italia! 🙌🏻
I'm proud & happy being a Filipino that we can able to show our deepest & hospitality that other nationalities loved.
Very true! ❤️🙌🏻 thank you for your comment!
@@VanandJoe welcome lods as long as you're good I& grounded I'll always love to watch your videos I hate hypocrite people who showed kindness and wellness in front of the camera but the attitude is different on what they're showing but I cam discern it.
Your dad gave encouraging inspiring testimonies even to us, locals. Thank you po.
Thank you so much po! ❤️🙌🏻
Everything was from the heart and I am glad to know that you enjoyed the video 🤗
Nice to see and hear from your Dad Joe, Wow 30 years in the Philippines. Yes your father is right Philippines is paradise. I'm 30 years in Canada and I don't like snow and long winter anymore. Dumaguete is my home too.
Thank you so much! 🙌🏻 I’m glad that you feel the same way about the Philippines.
Hope to see you one of these days in Dumaguete 🤗
As for me, I love winter 😂 I guess that’s because I don’t experience it on a daily/yearly basis.
Very interesting! Your Dads story is fascinating to me. I will be retiring to the Philippines after 60 years in New York City. My moms family is originally from Southern France (Marseille). Would love to meet you and your Dad when I make my way to Cebu in 2024. My Best to your family.
Hi Leon! Wow! That’s incredible. Best of luck on your retirement 😁🙌🏻 we are not in Cebu anymore but in Dumaguete. A neighboring Island a few hours away from Cebu city ❤️
Hope to see you soon! Stay safe ! 🙌🏻
I love the thick accent, and how his dad was a wine farmer. its the best french sterotype.
Thanks brother! Ahaha! Exactly bro! 😂
Thanks for the positive comment I'm. Now your subscriber here in the Philippines keep safe always and your family.
Maraming salamat po for subscribing! 🙌🏻 God bless you and your family!
Hi Joe... i have to admire your father even its only in video seeing him first time. He has a resemblance on character with my late father who is a guerilla veteran in WW2. He speaks gently and intellegently with humility just like how i see my father in the old days.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️
Your late father was the man! He sounds like an amazing individual who had a very colorful life.
May his beautiful soul rest in peace 🙌🏻❤️
I really enjoyed listening to your dad. I understand and I relate to everything he has to say. Your dad, more than any of these opinionated Western You tubers influenced my opinion to move to the Philippines to retire in a positive way.. He says more by his actions and how he lived his life than all the others going on about how smart they are about the Philippians. This is an invaluable interview and I'm glad I found it.
Thank you so much Michael! My dad will be so happy reading this 🙌🏻
I wish you all the best on your retirement and I hope you will love the Philippines as much as we do! ❤️
@@VanandJoe Your Welcome: I was really impressed with your father and his way of thinking.
@@michaelmclaughlin7133 You are making better choices listening to a man who has been in Philippines 30 years without pushing youtube for money as the main objective. Best wishes as you figured it out where most never will!
Wow, this man has a colorful life story. He has lived his life according to his wisdom. Bravo to this man, Je vous salue monsieur.
merci beaucoup! 🙌🏻 I appreciate you watching the video 🤗
Sir, thank you so much for finding Cebu Philippines as best 2nd Home choice for you and Family. Your English is beyond understandable for me. Not to worry, and really much appreciated for speaking the English language for us viewers to understand your video perspective. Have a good life in Cebu Philippines and Amping sa kanunay Manong! Cebuano pud Ko...
Thank you so much! 🙌🏻 sorry about that, that is why I placed captions on the bottom in case 😅 I appreciate your comment! My mom is from Cebu and my parents lived there for a few years but moved to Negros.
Daghang salamat! Amping sd kanunay. Hope to see you in one of our travel vlogs in Cebu soon!
May we know what part of Negros your family transferred to? Thank you.
a joy to learn of fathers life...glad to see he is well and kicking...he seems to understand the Filipino mentality and how they react to others....as he said, it is us that must adapt to their culture, not them adopting to ours....Nice to meet you Charles.....Davila, Ilocos Norte, Philippines...
Merci John 🙌🏻
I remember visiting Ilocos Norte back in 2011. What a beautiful experience that was. We explored the area, saw the amazing windmills and road a Kalesa in Vigan while exploring the Spanish colonial town.
Thank you for adapting the culture ofthe filipinos and deciding to stay here in the Philippines
Our pleasure Norma ❤️🙌🏻 thank you so much for watching our video!
That was interesting, I'm from a completely different European country, and yet, living here in the Philippines I have EXACTLY the same sentiments as this Gentleman.....I find it's somewhat like my country 30 or 40 years ago.
I am glad to hear you resonate with my dad’s point of view, Brendan 🙌🏻
We hope you’re living a beautiful life here in the Philippines ❤️
Your Dad is your adorable. He is right when he say that if want to live in another country, we should be the one to adopt their culture, not the host country. God bless you, Sir.
Thank you so much Krishna! 🥰🙌🏻
God bless you too!
Thanks apo for the your dad's interview. That's amazing! I'm an old lady watching from Canada. I just subscribed. May your channel prosper. 😊
Thank you so much for subscribing, Betty! ❤️🙌🏻
Take care in Canada and God bless you!
I like your dad's story about his military career; I joined the military (USN)recruited in Subic Naval Base in 1973 and retired in 1993 same time your dad joined the French military. I was 20 when I joined; I stayed and worked worked another 25 years before retiring for good 5 years ago. I did plan to go back to Baguio city after military retirement so I had a house built in 1986 but decided to work on a second career until retired again. I knew a lot of Filipinos retired from the military and went home for good.
Thank you for your service! You have been living such a colorful life ❤️🙌🏻 Baguio is a beautiful place and you’ve built a house there. How amazing is that!
30 years of living in the Philippines and still love it there, while most Filipinos want to get out. If we could only see the Philippines in the eyes of these foreigners, I think many Filipinos who have migrated and have earned enough pension would want to go back home and reconnect with the motherland. Still, it needs a lot of courage and wisdom to leave a life of convenience and go back to a simple yet inconvenient life we were used to as a former Filipino. Your father saw those things that we Filipinos tend to ignore. I’m one of those looking at Philippines right now in your father’s point of view.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! 🙌🏻 you are right. Most Filipinos leave because there are better job opportunities in other countries. But I did stumble upon some locals who actually criticize The Philippines not knowing how lucky they are to be born in such a beautiful country.
Every country in the world has their own fair share of problems. We just need to be grateful and see things in a positive perspective.
Tres bien. Newly subscribed here from California. 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇮🇹
Thank you so much for subscribing! ❤️🙌🏻 😍
Hello, new subscriber from California👋🏼 I happen to come across your channel and enjoyed watching this really insightful interview. I appreciated hearing your father’s life experiences, reflections and wise advise. Living in this time, with so many people immigrating to other countries, it’s important to hear that you should adapt to the new country you’re in, to be respectful, to observe without judgement, to learn the culture, customs. Also, if you immigrate to another country I think it’s important that one learns the language and doesn’t try to change the culture but rather accept and assimilate. You seem to have great parents, I wish you shared a photo of your mom and dad from 30 years ago😉 God bless them and may they enjoy many more years together.
Thank you so much for subscribing ❤️🙌🏻
We are glad you enjoyed watching my Father’s video 🤗
You are absolutely right!!! ❤️ thank you for confirming what my father said.
I am lucky to have amazing parents. There will be a part 2 soon and I will show you guys a picture of my mom and of them together. ( i’m not sure if my mom is up for an interview as she is camera shy )
God bless you too Jules! ❤️🙌🏻
Thank you for appreciating Phil culture and your love Philipines terretory.....
You’re welcome! Thank you for your comment 🙌🏻❤️🇵🇭
Yes we would love to hear from him again..maybe about meeting your mom😊❤👍
Thanks for the idea Alexzander! 🙌🏻 will work on that and see if he is up for it 😅
I appreciate hearing this from someone that been there for 30 years and still loves it there. I love that he went to different countries first before coming to the Philippines
Thank you Paul! Glad you enjoyed watching my father’s video!
Part 2 coming soon ❤️🙌🏻
Respect to your dad for making the effort to do most of this in English. His English is great. But when hearing him speak French he all of a sudden united as a person. Makes me realise how hard it is for an expat living and trying to communicate in a non native language.
Absolutely. He didn’t speak a word of English when he first came here and even brought a dictionary around 😅 so learning English was really his main goal. I think that’s what makes the Philippines so inviting for ex-pats knowing Filipinos can speak English so well.
@@VanandJoe I am a Brit and I know how proud the French are (rightfully so) of their culture. That he found the Philippines a place to call home speaks volumes for the Philippines. Language and culture wise there would have been easier options for him.
that is very true. There’s a few tropical countries out there that speak French but he decided to live here and had to go through learning a new language ( English ). Much respect to my dad. I appreciate the kind words! 🙌🏻
Are you in Britain or did you move to a different country as well?
@@VanandJoe I live in the Netherlands just outside Amsterdam. But have always been fascinated with Asia, ever since being a little kid. There is a trend here with Northern Europeans looking to retire somewhere. I am not near that age yet. People used to pick Spain for example. Your father said something that is consistent with what I have seen on a lot of vlogs and heard via via. That the Philippines have an open culture. I have heard as well a lot of the accessibility comes from you also having a good sense of humour.
Oh wow! Hope you’re accomplishing your dreams in the Netherlands.
Once you hit retirement, Asia is definitely a top choice. South East in particular.
That is very true! The Philippines does have an open culture and as long as you respect and adapt, then you are most welcomed here. Locals will love you and take care of you 🙌🏻
Wowwww your dad is amazing pilipinos I'm sure loved your dad what a lovely wonderful family
Thank you! Yes po! He has a lot of filipino friends ❤️🙌🏻
Love this video. Hats off to your dad. He clearly put a lot of effort into speaking in English.
I always have so much respect for people who put effort into speaking in a non-native tongue.
Really glad I stumbled upon this video this morning.
Thank you so much, Brad! ❤️🙌🏻
We are glad you enjoyed watching my Father’s video!
Part 2 coming soon 🤗
First time to watch your video. I like what your father said. I admire his being humble and knows how to adapt to Filipino culture. God bless your family
Hi Maryann! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰🙌🏻 we are glad you enjoyed my father’s video!
God bless you and your family too! ❤️
En Francais est tres bon ! Love to hear the French, even the French accent ! Yes, a person must be flexible and adapt to the country you’re living in, tres simplement ! Anyway, nice vid, be nice if your mom showed too..bon soir 🙏🏻🌴
Merci Norris! 🙌🏻❤️ I’m glad you enjoyed listening to my dad. I will try to make a video with my mom soon although she is very camera shy 😅 I am also planning to make a part 2 with my father soon.
Hey man interesting video and an amazing insight for me , I’m 7 months away from making the move to live permanently in the PH (I’m not French I’m British but similar story to your dad) Salamat and Ingat always
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching my Father’s video ❤️🙌🏻
That is so exciting! Which Island did you choose?
We wish you the best of luck with your new life here in The Philippines soon and we hope you’ll embrace the culture with an open heart❤️🙌🏻
@@VanandJoe I’ll be in iloilo city and thank you so much
CEBU MY HOMETOWN ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for choosing the Philippines particularly Cebu ❤️❤️❤️
you're a Filipino now we love you and your family!
Beautiful Sugbu! ❤️
Daghang salamat sa love and support! 🥰🙌🏻
Proud to be Cebuano.. Love the Philippines
Proud to be Cebuano.. Love the Philippines
I enjoyed hearing your dads story! Tell him his English is way better than my French! Kudos!
Thank you so much! ❤️🙌🏻 glad you enjoyed listening to his story. Part 2 coming soon! 🤗
I’ll make sure to tell him that!
We are looking forward for part two of your father’s experience livings in the Philippine.
Thank you so much 🥰🙌🏻 I am so excited for part 2!
I have been considering making the Philippines my retirement home. You mentioned that France has changed the past 30 to 40 years. I can tell you the same has happened in the United States. I'm ready to live in another country and I like the fact there are many English speaking Filipino's.
That’s a great choice to make Daniel. Indeed, most first world countries have evolved into a stressful environment.
We are sure you’ll love it here. We recommend you visit some popular islands and then decide where to build a home as each island have their own beauty and charm 🙌🏻❤️
Your father is a badass , much respect, paratrooper amazing man, not to mess with
Thank you so much! ❤️🙌🏻 My father will be happy reading this 🤗
Wow!...your dad have good life in Philippines....
He does 🙌🏻 Definitely lucky to live here in the Philippines with pension before he even turned 40.
Wow...nice vidro....your dad is a very wise man...would love to hear more about how his life started in the Philippines and about your family
Thank you! We might make a part 2 soon! 🙌🏻❤️
I have known some foreigners living for many years in the Cebu area. Mostly from U.S., veterans who have pension and are living large. Has a new truck and with servants. Superb.
Wow! Sounds like a very grand life they are living here 🙌🏻
What a wisdom..time is not important...most important is the contact..he is right as what people is practicing in the Philippines...no matter what is the cause or pressing issue of concern..what is impor🎉tant is you show up even to the last minute...that counts for most of us..but of course when help is needed or it is really top urgent or life threatening...we willl likely to appear as fast as the lightning...
That is very true! ❤️🙌🏻 I hope we filipinos will never lose touch of that.
Thank you for commenting 🥰
Shoutout from a Leyte Pinoy in Scandinavia ❤ Love it 😍 thats what my wife and I planning to leave in the Philippines when we get hopefully old. God bless…
Thank you so much! 🥰🙌🏻
I am excited for you guys! Wishing you and your wife a happy and successful life together! ❤️
God bless you too my friend! 🙌🏻
Your Dad is amazing! 🎉
Thank you Maxie! ❤️🙌🏻
Thanks to your dad for appreciating our culture being a Filipino,it's so nice hearing your blog more power
Even without introducing himself, I can guess he is French by his accent. 😊 J’adore ! Trente ans aux Philippines ? Ça fait plaisir d'entendre qu'un français a pu vivre ça aussi longtemps. You’re father is right with the watch. Everyone is in a rush here in France so les gens sont trop stressés. Bonjour from Paris! 😊 Now I’m more inclined to retire in my home country the Philippines.
He did his best with English 😅 thank you for your wonderful comment!
I would agree. I saw life in Paris back when we visited in 2017 and it looked very hectic and everyone was in a rush 😅 but aside from that, Paris is very beautiful!
Best of luck on your retirement and hope you live the best life both in Paris at the moment and here in the Philippines soon 🙌🏻❤️
Funny thing is that before I learned he's french, I somehow knew already because of the accent in his english, the "h" added or subtracted. I am glad that he found a home in our country. Long life to you, sir!
Thank Manopo! Oh yes! The accent is so strong 😅😂 God bless you and your family!
Bonjour Monsieur Charlie. Salut Joe. Thank u for this wonderful video. Merci beaucoup. Thank u for introducing us to your father.
Merci Yasin! I appreciate that! 🙌🏻 I’m happy he was up for it. Glad you enjoyed watching!
@@VanandJoe 😄
I was smiling throughout the whole video. Your dad is amazing. I love him.
I'm glad you enjoyed my dad's video Ckj! Thanks for watching! 😍👐
After 30 years, your father must have embraced everything about the Philippines and its people, to call it home.
Yes 🥰 The Philippines gave him a home, a family and a great life. He is very thankful ❤️🙌🏻
As a Filipino I am touch on what you are praising our country.
Thank you Vicente 🥰🙌🏻
Now I understand why France people somehow relate to our culture and lifestyle. I like France people, they're not judgemental, they're somehow knows how to adapt our simple life eventhough they are far more advanced compared to our country. I say this because of the other vlog of Go with Flo. She accepted her Filipino boyfriend with open arms and understanding and she adjusted to her Filipino boyfriend lifestyle. Salute French people! 🤘🙏
We truly appreciate the kind words ❤️
thank you so much
🙌🏻
Your Dad is so honest its funny. His way of explaining Filipino time is hilirious.
He did a good god raising you.
:)
Thank you Jason! Glad you enjoyed watching the vlog. I bet you can relate when it comes to Filipino time 😂
He has a unique perspective since he has been there for so long. His comparisons with European transitions are similar to my experience in the US.
Life is becoming so fast-paced in those parts of the world. My dad is truly lucky as he is living a more relaxed life here in the Philippines.
@@VanandJoe I hope to join the ranks of the relaxed ex-Pats soon there too… LOL
I’m am truly excited for you! 🙌🏻
New subscriber here , Filipina living in Texas ,hello !I agree with your father , and say thank you for him!
Thank you for subscribing Ewatch 🙌🏻❤️ I will let him know 🙌🏻
I enjoyed watching the video , especially when your Dad started speaking french Dad . Although I do not speak language , I like the sound of it .The French language is a beautiful language . Do you have an experience to leave in France . My impression is that French people are lay back people .While I was in France , I watched them laughing and talking while strolling in the avenues . Dined in a side walk restaurant eating delicious foods and sipping wine . But my impression of a french people is not what I thought and your Dad said , that French people have a very hectic life .
Hi Manuel! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for the compliments ❤️🙌🏻
I never tried living in France although my last visit there was just for a week before heading back to Germany.
You’re right, French are laid back and they enjoy sipping wine and have a great time but I think my father was generalizing mainly on the big cities where the stress of keeping up with expenses has taken over. Although you do still see the old french way of living in smaller towns.
When you came to France, which city did you visit?
@@VanandJoe Me and my wife rented a car and toured Europe way back year 2000 . Spent 2 days in Paris , visited famous places in the city and enjoyed eating . Baguette .
Oh wow! That’s amazing! Definitely in our bucket list and crossing my finger that will happen soon!
I’m happy you enjoyed Paris. I actually have a crazy story that happened in Paris when we were there back in 2017 which I will share one of these days 😅
Your dad will be a superstar on your channel telling story's. Thanks for sharing guys.
Thank you! 🥰
Makes me so happy to hear comments like these on his video ❤️🙌🏻
Do a video on your Dad's French Army experience as a Paratrooper and Infantryman. Thanks, We wish you the best of luck in growing your channel. God Bless.

Hey mate, your Dad seems like a wonderful gentleman and a very humble and sensitive man. I am a similar age to your Dad and I can relate to his dreams of yester-year.
You seem like a wonderful son and I can see many of your Dad’s personality traits in you, for example, your gentle mannerisms and sensitivity.
I hope one day my dreams of owning my house and land will come true, albeit I am almost out of time. I also hope that one day my daughter, who is a similar age to you, will respect me as you clearly do your Dad.
Thanks for a lovely video and story!
I appreciate you sharing ❤️🙌🏻 thank you for the kind words. I do look up to him and I know your daughter feels the same way with you. Maybe she isnt showing it much but it is there 🥰
