Every Man Has a Story
Thanks for your storey. Enjoyed it very much. Learned a great deal about video rights I never knew before. You sound like a really nice man. Best of luck.
Another one of America's best and brightest has landed in the PI.
👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
Hey look! You actually got over 20 of your buddies to interrupt the circle jerk and give your pathetic comment a thumbs up! Get back to that circle boys, your thumbs must be getting cold!
Sounds like another "winner".
Good luck Ed, you will need it.
Thanks Joe
Hi Joe, Let's have a Heineken.
@@mrbigwheel8171 Ok thanks for the heads up, I will bring him the Cuban cigar.
Cuba is great but only if you have dollars. It sucks if you don’t. Covid has decimated tourism.
Interesting story and I think the movie sounds really good. Thank you for a great interview

I like that this guy was real instead of everybody coming over there and trying to act like they were a big shot. He’s just an honest hard working guy. I believe sometimes people when they move to a new state or country like to hype themselves up and explain that they were perhaps a little bit bigger than they actually were in their other location. This gentleman has a realness and honesty that I really like. 👍
Spain has more than 44M people/population. I've been living in Spain for four decades. So, he lived in my hometown too???

Sounds like a great story but true. Can't wait to see the flic!
Awesome interview Mark. I could listen to his stories all day. It was like listening to a mob movie while I am at work. Very interesting.
Hi MARK . TY for another great interview . I just want to say this , being here on the EAST COAST USA , this area is like no other. That said , I don t know this guy BUT I believe him and wish him the best of luck . CIAO

this guy with all the money he made should be in a palace never heard such a load of lies the timeline don,t fit is age if you believe that the moon is nmade of cheese
If what this guy said is accurate, he can file for VA disability, regardless of his lapsed pension. If his injuries are still comparable to 30% he can get $467 per month. His conditions have likely worsened and/or developed secondary disabilities. He deserves to look into his benefits. If the injuries are service connected, he would be able to use the VA Foreign Medical Program for treatment as necessary. He would be eligible for even broader healthcare when back in the U.S.
“If…”. A few things with his account didn’t quite add up.
@@mrjones944 Sounds like he can still go to the VA. Even if he was seperated from the military under the Temporary Disability List, he should have some form of rating if he complied with the TDL program. If not, most likely they just seperated him without a DoD rating and gave him standard military benefits without Tricare which requires at lest 30% DoD rating. He can still go to the VA if he can find his DD214 and other supporting docs. They would rate him higher that 30% most likely due to age and time. Also, back then DoD ratings are always lower than VA ratings. Today you just get one rating if you leave active service the VA/DoD rating.
Philippines isn't a place to be for people with health problems
@@phil-be-health I don’t disagree. However, after a certain age, and looking at your own family history, you can ballpark how long you will likely live. If I can live 10 or 15 happily in the PI, Ecuador, Uruguay, Georgia, Albania, DR, or Thailand vs 20 in the increasingly divisive U.S. with the last 5 years likely in and out of Hospitals. I’ll take the an untimely demise overseas.
@@michaelmmcintyre 👍👍👍
He should look for 'combat craig' on youtube, to get started filing his VA disability claim! Appreciate his honesty but glad it's all in the past now! oh brother!
Is he for real? What a life! Stay out of trouble. Good luck!
Absolutely fascinating! He needs to write a book. Thanks for posting this one.
Americans can go to Cuba now. Even before Obama, just not straight from US. I flew from cancun
I flew from Canada
How smart is it to tell all this?
Statue of limitations.
This man reminds me of someone I know, he is a busy fellow!!!
Astounding. Riveting episode. I watched entire video.
Excellent and very interesting interview Mark good job

Ed is one really cool guy!
Im glad i met him!
WOW!
just met Mr. Davila today, he is a real nice guy
Thank you Ben,
@@edwarddavila9925 let me know the name of your youtube channel when you put it up, it's a pleasure and subscribe to mine to stay in touch
Leaving Seattle one time to the Philippines with my family, Homeland Security stopped us in the walkway to the plane. They had the black body gear and armned. Three or four of them on the ramp. They asked me how much cash I had . I said 300 dollars. They let us get on the plane.
ruclips.net/video/SQ65ut398jU/видео.html
I like him. Salt of the Earth type guy. I was in that type of world. I matured alot, but I guarantee this. If your in trouble, he's got your back!
Hey Mark, this is Mike Cason’s brother Mason. How are you and Paul doing? Have Paul contact me
I was one of Mike's early subscribers, i think i watched most of his early vloggs , from Iloilo , to Dumaguete i think he loved the Philippinesso much . RIP ,Mike. a nice guy.

Thanks
Hi Edwards it’s Edward in Angeles city Philippines
Hi Edward,
He is telling the truth with Spain 1988
You can take up the $10k in and out of the country without declaration, you can take any amount you want to, but have to declare it. I'm going to take my own advice and keep my opinion of this fella to myself.
He seems like one of those expats to avoid. Too many character flaws.
He gets $1,300 a month, what could possibly go wrong?
This guy is another recipe for the next big one!
You guys seem very mean spirited.
@@erikelmholdt9471 No, It's just that we have watched this movie many times before.
Definitely one of your most colorful characters interviewed , everything from a strip club bouncer to marines and gambling operations
Dude doesn't want anyone to know he has a stash. Probably a few million in Switzerland.
No stash, just life, ruclips.net/video/SQ65ut398jU/видео.html
he should work for CNN
Do you know what happened to him? He had a RUclips channel, but it is gone.
No idea
I couldn’t live my life having to look over your shoulder everyday. I’d rather work a 9 to 5 for less money and Be happy.
Interesting guy
I let my wife take care of everthing when we're in the philippines. She's from there and she's frugal. Also no one really knows she's been living in America for 30+ years cause she speaks the language.
That’s the way to do it! I hate being ripped off, it’s the worst feeling.
ruclips.net/video/SQ65ut398jU/видео.html
I didn't meet her at a bar because I do not drink
Not every person you meet in the world is a drunk, a prostitute, or bigot.
@@mrbigwheel8171 , I just happen to open this channel and it caught my attention the way some ex military make assumptions about women from the Philippines. Remember what happens when people assume. I am originally from the Philippines and met my former Marine husband in Pasadena, CA. I take offense with peoples assumptions that Filipino women are all from the bar!!!
Maybe he is related to Karen Davila, one of the hosts of a media org in the Philippines.
Love the content 👌
Fascinating interview. I liked the candor on budget and income which always interests me. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it James 😊

Great interview...very interesting, hard working decent person...best of luck to him on his new life in the Philippines.
Interesting.
Background noise.....
Thank you Mark for all that you have shared. It’s been a real education. 😃

Very interesting interview. I looked up the movie 'THE CORPORATION'. It came out in 2003! Am I mistaken?
Great interview guys
Thank you John
Life is all magic
I wonder if magic is some root word from imagination.
@@tomquinn607 I dwelled on that without conclusion.
One thought I hang on to: all part of spectrum of human being and what has helped us survive even flourish in the face of hardship and adversity. Let's be kind
@@soundslight7754 Always. Always.
Can you recommend a place to stay? I am planning to visit with my wife in January
Hi Gerardo, The Go Hotel is owned by Robinsons Mall and it is literally 50 yards from the Hotel. The Go Hotel is very clean and it is comparable with the Holiday inn in the USA. But the best part is that it will only cost you $20. Per day. You can also go on Airbnb, they have many others. I recommend the GO Hotel because it is convenient to everything.The Go Hotel is owned by Robinsons Mall and it is literally 50 yards from the Hotel.

I find his lifestyle awesome. He's adventurous. I wonder when was his boring period 😁😁😁 wishing him good health and enjoy the rest of his time.....
😲
Where is he renting in the Philippines? That's a good rent.
Mark can you get in touch with him?
Have him put in for va disability. He is guaranteed from his service connected injury
This guy's life is fascinating but very chaotic. Must've been exhausting to be hustling all the time.
ruclips.net/video/SQ65ut398jU/видео.html
a great story!
what did he major in in college - odd jobs?
😊
Speaking of rent in New York City. My grandmother used to own a three apartment building in Brooklyn where her and my aunts lived. She died about 30 years ago and the building changed hands after that. It was brought to my attention recently that my grandma’s old apartment, which is about 1,000 sq ft, is listed for rent at $6,000 per month. Think of that. It seems to me that you can rent a nice house in the Philippines and have a good lifestyle for a fraction of that amount. Which is why I’m investigating 🇵🇭. 😂
USA v. Julio Acuna, No. 07-10382 (11th Cir. 2009) Interesting read. WHat a story!
Do a search in that case for my brother.
Communism is so evil and too many Americans think it is wonderful.
Search for true history.
Have a blessed day.
"ROMAN'S ROAD" plan of salvation:
ROMANS:
3:10
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
[ all are guilty before God ( unrighteous) we must BE RIGHTEOUS to go to heaven. ]
3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
[ JESUS is the Glory of God and all have come short of Jesus righteousness ]
6:23a- For the wages of sin is death;
[ the only punishment for sin is eternal death in hell (Revelation 21:8 the second death) ]
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
[the second death is the death of the soul in the lake of fire forever and this is the only thing that we will ever deserve, but JESUS paid the penalty for us and will set us free from death and hell and give us eternal life because of his sacrifice for us.]
Romans
5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[ sin debt is paid, even though we are sinners, God demonstrated his love by His sacrifice ]
6:23b- but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[ Salvation is a gift of God, paid in full by our Saviour's sacrifice ]
10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[ repentance and acceptance of the PAID IN FULL sin payment is the only way to receive the gift, we must believe by faith through the testimony of those that came before us that Jesus arose from the dead ] { 1 Corinthians 15:- tells us that the gospel is the death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus and that there were more than 500 people that saw Jesus after he arose from the dead and this is the testimony that we are to carry on and witness to others}
10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[ we are made RIGHTEOUS by repenting and believing that Jesus PAID IT ALL. ]
Ask Jesus to save you right now and trust him, because he arose from the dead.

Great interview. shame he didn't save some of that gambling money. Would like to know more about the end of his brothers story...if his brother wasted all the millions and how he dies.
if you were transfering money on trains from new york to florida by train assuming amtrak why would you have to hide it in girdles and belts couldnt you just take it in a suitcase conductors dont search baggage especially in the 1980s
I love these underworld stories by these wise guys and then they leave for the Islands.
Tony I was never a wise guy, My brother was a bookie nmever hurt anyone. Even the FBI knew this.
I love this story and best wishes in your endeavors in the Philippines. I hope Mark can give us more content like your story.
@@TONEYTUNE1 ruclips.net/video/SQ65ut398jU/видео.html
Nope he wont be there long. Good luck to him.
Mark another good interview
Thank you Steven 😊
Hope he finds happines and peace in Philippines and pass the found goodness to others.
I think i just witnessed a cuban agent being interrogated 🥸
true about 10K limit in cash on a plane; wow, this dude's the real deal. sounds like HE should write a memoir
Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy, Crazy life for sure, Being White yes we pay lmao, Even my dentist 🦷 500 more pesos, Be safe,
I Think Mark should be in front of the camera. Not behind. That is why I prefer Pouls Channel. If I want journalism I look for educated work. This is personal stuff thus should be presented so.
Not 30 percent of base pay for VA. Lied or something. VA scale is different
Hi Cumi, your not including, base + dependents . so my estimates are very close and it was over 40 years ago. Only got disability a few months and then it was gone.
@@edwarddavila9925 The way it was explained is fishy still. VA has a different compensation rate. With one or two dependents, it's minuscule with or without dependents for 30 percent. Maybe 80 dollars in today's table. It takes a while to be medical boarded out with a certain percentage rating or takes a little while to get VA exam to rate you. Then you have the VA pay until you get an exam to determine that you are better for them to take it away. Having disability for only a few months and then gone doesn't sound right for me as a veteran who is also getting disability. Don't mean to knock you, but when you say something inaccurate, it causes concern.
@@cumitran Cumi I don't understand, What are you trying to say to me. a little confussed. Are you accusing me of not telling the truth?
@@edwarddavila9925 I'm just saying you don't just state 30 percent of base pay which isn't correct and that you have it for a few months and it's gone without further details. It causes people in the know suspicious of what you are stating. There are way too many people claiming this and that nowadays and what you say has to be accurate or people like me becomes suspicious.
@@leonardmarlin4330 Right? He mentioned base plus dependents. It's either single, married, with dependents etc. It's on a VA scale chart. Also med board out means It's probably for a long time before another exam to see if he is cured.
