African American Expat living vlogging in Manila Philippines working as a Digital Nomad freelancer using Upwork to earn money. How to make money by working online is something I can share tips & tricks with you. Living on a Budget in the Philippines is important to foreigners trying to start a new life. Because of my skin tone and round face people say I look like Luke Mejares. My channel is dedicated to sharing my journey in life in the Philippines married to a beautiful sexy filipina. We are an interracial couple joined in marriage with a strong relationship. Some of my goals with my vlogs is to share my knowledge, experiences of being a foreigner in the Philippines and most of all I want to help people in need. Since moving to the Philippines I've been emotionally touched by the level of poverty in the Philippines. I want to do something and give back to the great people of the Philippines. Homeless in the Philippines is a real issue like all other places but I live here now so I need to help my community. The poor people in the Philippines need a voice and I hope I can give them one.
To be honest, black people are quite welcome by Filipino. Filipino welcome us more than any other western people did. My last 10 days visit was an Epic and unforgetable. I even think to move there
melvin lenn Hey Melvin, I have a Filipina friend and she told me that Filipinos are scared of black people, especially in Manila lol. I thought she was just messin' with me, but that what she told me. She told me that 10 years ago, but from what you said, maybe that has changed.
coolassclay i know right? But time change, so does people.
melvin lenn dollar earner so much welcome in the Philippines dont matter what skin color you have its a fact.....
Pinoys will accept blacks as long as you're not sensitive to racial jokes. They don't hate blacks, they just like to joke about them :)
Philip Agtuca You're right we don't hate black people. We hate bad people regardless of their skin color.
cool, a brother from NY . Finally someone from my area sharing views on the Philippines lifestyle.
salute NJ/NYC area here viewing stories of the Philippines
the reality here in Phil.. if ur black American most of us pinoy think ur a basketball player.. hehe..
During the Philippines American War in the early 1900s some black American soldiers deserted the American forces to join the Philippine forces because they realized that the Filipinos were fighting for their country which the Americans were trying to conquer by force. Thees black soldiers stayed around and married filipinas and integrated with Philippine society.
No kidding.
Ignorant imbecile
Psychosis your a bitch. America is the biggest drug dealer brody.
You mean "you're" not your... that's possessive. If you would have stayed in school and not smoked crack you would know this. LOL
Inanities
Hi Jay, I am a an african american living in the USA but have been to the Philippines many times. I married a filipina lady in 2014 and we are currently living in Augusta, Georgia. We like it here but know that our heart is in the Philippines. Take care and enjoy The Philippines because it's great. Great video!
I am from Georgia too , living in Sharpsburg near Peachtree City.
Great 1st vlog! Welcome to the crazy RUclips world of vlogging! Look forward to some great content....keep it real!
Wow you are Adventist..keep the Faith. I'm also dating a Filipino they are amazing
Yes they are amen to that.
Hey, man! I discovered you through my Australian friend Dwaine Woolley. I am actually just about to head back to the Philippines. I used to live out there in a few provinces when I was doing some humanitarian work. So, I really wanna go back!
Your description is on point, I felt in Mariveles that I went back in time.
Anyhow, whenever I end up there. It’d be awesome to meet.
Welcome back to the Philippines sir.
Very cool. I'm gonna have to subscribe and catch up on your journey/story. I too love the Philippines and travel there each year. I wish I could stay months at a time like you because my wife and I have a house in Pangasinan but work and life in general keeps us here in LA doing are thang. I definitely be having a blast in the Philippines and treated incredible. Have you been to any provinces or vacationed in the usual places yet like Boracay, Palawan etc.? All the best to you and your lady! 👊🏾
Nice Vlog bro! I've been to the Philippeans twice this year. May go back a 3rd time lol. Get at me when u visit your son in GA. I'm in ATL. I'd love to have a beer with u and talk about the Phils! I was there almost the whole month of August.
congratulations on finding your woman! I'm sure you will love the Philippines, if I can give you some advice, you have a great resource in having American passport. use this combination, work in the US but spend in the Philippines. my step dad for example, goes to the US for only 4 months each year. he works 2, 3 jobs for those 4 months then goes home with 20,000 US dollars. you know 20 grand ain't shit in america, rent will eat that. but in the PI, they live like a King.
it will be good if you can take your son to our country too. let him see what life is like in a world where he is not a second class citizen like America. no KKK there! no police profile there!
anyway, this is my new favorite channel. hope to see more!
Wow
Awesome comment! God bless.
Hey Jay, I just came across your channel today. My name is Tony Wilkerson, born in Pittsburgh but have lived in Australia the past many years. You seem like a real brother. My Wife to be is from the Philippines and we will be moving there hopefully in the following 18 months or so. I'm going to keep watching and supporting your channel. Peace to you and your lovely wife.
I've been to the Philippines a couple of times while being in the Marines. I can imagine it has to be difficult to stay faithful with so many beautiful women there.
I can handle it. I see them all and I just walk on by.
The Black Filipino TV 😀
wow that was a ballsy move. can't wait to hear your business idea's
New subscriber here. Good luck in PI. Like all places there are bad people there too and bad places also but in general the people appreciate foreigners that speak a little of the local language. looking forward for more vids. Thanks.
It's nice to see a black American doing videos from the Philippines. Appreciate you.👍😎 hope you and your girl are still going strong sounds like you got a good one.
Right on my brother "J" life's to short we must enjoy it to the utmost.
It's all good my brother. I wish you and your family in the Philippines the best and many blessings.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Peace
Hey Jay, me being from the NYC as well (Brooklyn's in the house!), totally understand where you're coming from with this. Had a great time when I lived in the Pi back in the mid 80's (when it was like 20:1 on the conversion rate). Very friendly and hospitable people. I live in Europe now, BTW. Have met Phillipinos here as well, and they're still just really cool peeps. Enjoy bro!
Just stumble on your vid, glad you liked it out there in PI. My husband is also black American and we also lived here in NYC . I enjoyed watching your videos and actually just started watching them. I subscribed too😊Enjoy it with everything Philippines has to offer. Puerto Gallarta is not the best beach experience. We have more to offer. Try the sand bar next time
Man I enjoyed this video. Good to see a man follow thru on his plan and execute. I'll be there soon enough
Glad you made the decision my brotha..i spent 8 years there, had to relocate for work but will retire there.
Philippines is a growing pot, waiting to be tap, we have the natural resources, all the great places to go to, and the way you speak i feel like your already living in the philippine way longer, the philippines are loving, and hospitable, its our nature to please people.
Actually, I found your channel when you started making videos because RUclips recommended your video to me and I subscribed to you, but I have never really watched you. Now, I am watching your videos and I love your story so much!! Thanks for sharing your story with us!!
Wow! Its an Honor For you Living Here In The Philippines! I am Glad you Like The Beautiful Places here :) And Also I hope it feels Much Safer there For you Since Duterte Is Cleaning up our country ;)
Best of luck, my friend. Hope you will have a great time there
Dude.....I just started watching you. You speak the truth! Thank you. It's a beautiful country and the people are.I am planning to live there when I retire... Good luck to you! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching Russell. Come join me soon.
I hope everything works out like you plan, good luck!
Thank you and I wish you the best as well.
hey kuya, great video, you have your new subscriber here
Hey Jay, just started following your vlog, got some catching up to do, look forward to following your videos.
Good luck! I wish you all happiness and good health in the Philippines. Mabuhay!
TOTALLY UNEXPECTED!!!!! I love, love stories. This is of course the first time I've heard it from a male perspective though, Lol. Big ups to you and the wifey and please stay safe.
I subscribe, I love your honesty and loving way, the world needs, what you got, we can change this world, God Bless
good name brotha! you do look filipino. did you know the native filipinos are black?
Hahaha....true why this Phil. gov't don't show to the world the owner of that islands? In my town missionaries put them in one location I used to see them walking around in groups not anymore.
Harold Harper don't be jealous dude😂
racist dog
LuvMyLilBabe Not quite. The negritos were too reclusive to assimilate/intermarry with Filipinos, so you can't say their ancestors are black, unless you're referring to yourself.
Mark BestBuddy I am
Glad to see you're starting a new life out side of the U.S. Thank You for sharing and God Bless.
New subscriber here . . . . Sad to hear about your unfortunate bad experience riding a taxi there in the Philippines. Being a Pilipino myself, it´s a shame to hear that some of my countrymen is taking advantage to a foreigner like your goodself. Good luck to you and to your new found love.
I just started watching this guy, I thought he’s half flip at least! Thank you for sharing your love story kaibigan! 🇵🇭
Respect. I'm from NYC and ive been to the Philippines 4 times. I look forward to more videos
I go there twice a year for two or three week at a time, been doing it for 8 years, I will eventually move there. As a black man I have never experienced racism in the Philippines.
Robert Lucas good to know!
Welcome to PH, Brother!
Love your vids from Austin, Texas. Thank you brother!
God Bless and Good Luck... Welcome to the Philippines
you look filipino bro
He looks like my filipino uncle😊
if you are a good person you are always welcome in philippines, we dont care if you a black or white people,the important for us is be kind and respect us filipinos, we are very friendly,loving, and helpful people
I miss my country too. I'm living Singapore for 9yrs.
I am happy that you moved to the Philippines. My mother is Asian/Filipina and she married to a black man. I had some issues with the father of my son but i made a mistake and i learning from it. I don't mind taking care of my man if he's take care of me. My mom actually paid for my father to come out there and got him a job as soon as he got out here. My man is Jamaican and he's from NYC just like my father is from there. Me and my man are going to chicago in July. The father of my kid is from Brooklyn but he went back to the U.S.
Jay welcome! excited to check out your vlogs man, sad to say most cabs that are associated with the airport are corrupt scumbags, though things are getting better and better with the new president, anyway good luck living here man, hope you stay for good :) subbed as well :))
Just discovered your channel. And I am also an expatriate mostly in Europe during the 1990's thru 2001.

My boyfriend african his from kenya he shy to visit to the philippines coz of his color i told him dont be shy our origin color is black too (negro & negra) more convince to him 😆 but this coming july i visit to him in kenya😍
Lol instant fell in lov, congratulations
This brotha looks really happy. And look at that smile.. I won't that same type of smile too lol. I'm thinking about venturing off into that area.
I am happy I love it out here.
at the airport its best to go upstairs to departures area and get a taxi there but before you go in the taxi negotiate the price. It should not cost more than 150 peso to go to malate for example. If the driver refuses to use the meter best to look for another cab.
Nice looking forward for more
You can easily blend with the Filipino crowd with your neutral appearance. Enjoy the Philippines !
Thanks for sharing! I find your vlog very interesting!
Stay tuned and subscribe. There will be tons of videos loaded every week.
moving to Philippines was the right move .....i went there first time in 2013......ill be back for good...very soon
Hey bro don't feel bad we feel the same thing. We feel exactly the same when we're fresh out of the boat.
Bro don't worry I was also duped by those stupid taxi in my own island ( Middle). He charged me same, I could just use a jeepney worth 7 pesos, not even cents. I was gone 30 yrs.
Single veteran looking to move to Philippines. Appreciate the Intel. Any tips please let me know

WELCOME BACK TO THE LAND OF CREATION..THE LAND OF HAVILAH...YOU WILL FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD PROTECTING THIS ANCIENT LAND..
Congrats bro, u do look like a Filipino love it
You actually look more Filipino than most of the peeps in Manila. You look like the Filipinos from Iloilo and other areas.
I'm going to show my old man this video cause his not sure about moving there I'm all for it but him on the other hand has lots of issues with it..thanks
I work online so I make money like I am in the U.S. cheaper to live and there are business opportunities here to. You just have to spot them.
Godbless u,,, philippines is a better place to live in
I am planning on going to the Philippines soon.
Using my girlfriends account what set her from the north american gals was her telling in the shower lift your foot and washed it we both met in canada and i was in ph last year in tondo and all around manila love the people the food and watching the kids reminds me of me growing up hide and seek tag playing ball ..you also see a smile on everyone
When you made that move and your lady was by your side it doubled your chances for success, wHen I see you two together I see ONE couple, move on up!
from airport to malate between 200/350 php depending of hour ,day,holiday etc ..
Good luck with your travels.Im from Nyc was in philippines April till September.I bought a motorcycle due to wanting to be i dependent.Jeepneys are way to hot and crowded and taxis I only use to return back to my apartment
Hi Jay, have you ever thought about doing a video on how dating is for black American men in the philippines? I know that you are married, so it maybe a hard subject for you to speak on for lack of experience
I ask because you are literally the ONLY black American man with a channel on being in the philippines. Every other channel is by a white westerner. I have no problem with their skin color, what I am apprehensive about is that ALL of them swear that dating for American men is great in the Philippines, yet they are all speaking from a white perspective not a black one.
I guess I just fear spending all that money to come over there just to find out that all the stories I've heard don't apply to me.
Gabri'el Alexander Just giving you a Good Luck! from the Philippines. tho just saying that Filipinos dont really care about skin colors, there are some but rarely. we're practically like the bottom of the chain
Your statement confuses me?
First you say that Filipina's don't care about skin color, but then you say we (I'm assuming you mean black american men) are practically the the bottom of the chain.
So which is it? They don't care or they see us as being low?
No! I mean that pilipinos rarely cared about skin colors. And the bottom of the chain are we in the Philippines. In my perspective though
So a filipina doesn't care about our skin color but she still would NOT date us because they considers black american men beneath them from your perspective?
No! Omg if your trolling me right now I swear! The bottom of the chain is we, pilipino and not black american.
Suscribed! Just coz i'm Filipino and grew up in NYC
Nice Vid Bro! I was just there in Manila, Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental with my fiancee. Had a wonderful time. Food is dirt cheap! We ate like Kings and Queens its hot as hell... lol. Definitely thinking about moving there. The only thing stopping me is INCOME! Any advice on how a foreigner can earn an income ? HELP I miss my Fiancee ....
Contact me theblackfilipino@gmail.com
Will do .... thx
Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact that you are generous to the poor, that aspect is very inspiring. I’m going on a one month vacation to the Philippines July 2019 and I definitely plan on giving to the poor. But to leave your son in a whole other country is crazy. You barely see him and make real father to son contact and bond. I’m Filipino, living in America. My BD is black and if his ass ever moved to a different country for a chick, that heffer is done. Basically putting a female over his own daughter. Hell nahhhhh.
Hey man i am a Mixed Filipino American and i used to live in the Philppines
in Malolos city, any way i just saw you in cong TV vlogs just wanna say whats up
Wasupppp. Cong is a cool dude. I rock with Cong and his team.
yeah man cong is Awesome,
i saw your permanent resident video and i kinda relate on that, cuz when i was fixing my wife and daughters Green cards and everything i did it by my self, it was a lot of work
Filipinos are very good hospitable people. However, before coming to the Philippine, research on basics like transportation from the airport. Looking forward to your videos.
