This old British man should go to British Embassy in the Philippines to seek help. If even the British government is unwilling to help him, then there is nothing to say
How tf is China any different? Do you honestly believe a foreigner can retire in China? Doing visa runs in their 60s and 70's? Unless your spouse is Chinese you are SOL there are literally so many better choices than China like Malaysia, Thailand and whatnot. Also the anti foreigner sentiment is visible for anyone who's been in China for an extended period of time, they also don't like people like yourself but won't say it to your face. I know you have a wechat channel, go find channels by any interracial couple and read the comments, it ranges from the N word to gorilla emojis and whatnot. Stop shilling bro, they like white shills more.
If poor financial planning mate. I have been going to The Philippines 🇵🇭 it's paradise islands since 2008. Yes, it's a poor country but the people are friendly. Thailand has healthier food, and medical services are much better. There are good pharmacy in the malls.
Sheku, you are so right about the Philippines. People are generally friendly but the saddest thing is the people are really proud of being Americanized. They think they are a step above everyone in S.E. Asia. They don't realized they're being fully taken advantage of by their colonizers, from back when to the present day. That homeless westerner is a true eye opener for me. What?!! How can that be? That is so sad.
No Filipino thinks that! 🤣 Do you know how many wars we had to keep out colonizers? Filipinos welcome all foreigners, not just the white ones! It's a double edge sword unfortunately. Yes there are Filipinos who like to be Americanize, Canadianized, __(rich country)___ -ized, ect., but those Filipinos are working abroad and desired that for themselves! Please stop making generalizations.
The best retirement plan is: [1] work hard [2] save plenty [3] resist credit [4] pay off your mortgage [5] religiously build up a retirement savings plan [6] work for a place that has a secure pension plan (civil, union, etc) [7] *retire in your own country*
What about if your country is on its way to be worse than the PH.. believe me.. things are going to get worse.. tent cities are growing in British parks and underpasses just like the US..
Great info, Sheku. I didn't know about expats being homeless in the Philippines. I thought they all lived it up, which is why they went there in the first place.
You will be surprised, mate! Quite a of expats lie about the quality of life they have in the Philippines. It is not all rainbows and sunshine. I am glad to share to bring awareness to others.
The Philippines have a lot of poor, young and unprotected girls who would do anything for a few bucks so why do you think those Westerners especially matured ones flocked there for? Charity? 😢😢😢😢
I've spent some time in expat bubbles in the Philippines and Thailand and the truth is most people go broke there. Common reasons are social security / government pension doesn't keep up with exponentially rising costs of health insurance and health care as you age and local women taking their money in various ways. Rent is also going up and the exchange rate can work against you. It doesn't help if you're alcoholic. It's a process though, it happens to most as they age in their 70s and 80s so you don't really hear about this RUclips. Most guys on RUclips hyping up these places are fresh off the boat or didn't even move yet. Definitely not 80 😂
and the most outrageous thing is PH is silly enough to be a proxy to US and picks a fight with CHN when china was willing to improve their infrastructure and economy but they chose to side with US
As a person from SEA, the normal Philippinoes are mostly brainwashed to side with the US, while the politicians are bought or blackmailed by the US (most likely). Malaysia has disputed islands with china, we reached an agreement to put things aside, while we shared resources. We stuck with out side of the bargain and so have the Chinese. No warships, no ramming, water cannons. Nothing. Maybe the Philippines can try our strategy a bit instead of listening to the US.
What an absolute rubbish! More than 60% of Filipinos doesnt want war. No interest whatsoever! You’d be a fool if you think it’s Philippines who is running the show..we all know who! The same bloody country whos responsible for middle east, ukraine, the list fucking goes on! Get out of my country! Stay in America!
For American or European with USD1k pension a month, their quality of life will be better in Philippines. Unless people actually think they can afford to rent a penthouse in Manila CBD with USD1k...
Paying 80 pounds a month...what do you expect?? Lets see him pay that much anywhere else! In China he would be living under the bridge. Geeze man your comparison is so skewed. Just by that assessment, alone I knew everything else that came after that was going to be full of it. Many points you have are biased, I can break all of them down but there's just too many. I can already tell you had a bad experience with your visit over there. If you are an expat I would take this video with a huge grain of salt. Visit both countries, have an open mind and decide for yourself. What he complains about can be applied to any other country in the world. It's not specific to one country.
That old guy at the beginning should just take a short trip to Malaysia or Thailand for his prostate surgery. Both those countries are close by and have a pretty decent medical system.
I was in Philippines a couple of months back and I agree with you with most of what you said. The problem with Filipinos is the obsession of 'celebrities'. They elected those who looks 'cool' who speak cool and know how to please the people not because they were good in running the country. That is why they keep electing corrupted people to run the country. Just like Bong Bong, his family held billions of dollars of ill-gotten money from the people during his father's day, but Filipinos had forgotten about it. If Bong Bong is seriously concerned about his people, he should first return those money to the country! Those who supported Bong Bong will tell you that you know nothing, and you have no right to criticized him! Fair, it is not my problem, it is not me suffering. The poverty of Philippines did stunned me a couple of months ago and it is sad to see that it was the people themselves who had to take the blame.
Look, all i said, i know nothing about Philippine situation right now, but after some research, sheku has some point correct about the current situation in Philippines, don't get me wrong, i know and have some friend that Filipino, and they are kind and genuine Filipinos, but i gotta admit, currently is not that good but not that worse either.
The People in the Philippines need to realize why they're in this situation and who their actual enemy is. The Philippines' government and media love to blame China for everything negative that happens in the world and in their country, and they love to portray the USA and other imperialist countries (e.g. Japan) as their noble helping friends. But the reality is that China contributes massively to the economy of the Philippines and always seeking to help 3rd world countries building themselves up. China builds necessary infrastructure and hospitals in poor countries and often even forgives a lot of debt. The West on the other hand is forcing their own interest up on the Phillipines and using their country as a US military base, as a place for western sexpats, and for cheap resources that the Philippine government is willing to give almost for free to imperialist countries. The Philippines blames China and worships the West, to distract from reality and mislead their citizens. The people of the Philippines need to realize this before it's to late for them. They need to stand up for themselves and free themselves from US imperialism, occupation and from their corrupt government. China doesn't have a single base in the Philippines and contributes imaginably much to their economy. Don't blame China for what your own government is doing to. Resist the lies, manipulated imagery, and twisted narratives your media is feeding you every minute of the day. That's the first step towards a better future. It all lies in the hand's of the people in the Philippines.
Most ignorant post I've read in a long time. It's not just PH that China is Bullying. And do you even know the artificial bases that China built to encroach Taiwan so the Allies will have a hard time backing Taiwan when China starts invading them
Hi Sheku yes China is the most advantage Tech Country in the World and you are right that Philippines can't compete with China but Philippines is a great Country and the Philippines people are very Friendly I have many friends who are African Americans Black Men who love Living in the Philippines
I have no problem people loving the Philippines but retiring in country like that imposed lot of red flags 🚩 and if I keep quiet many will continue to make the same mistakes then it is too late.
There are Homeless people in the USA, living on the streets eating from trashbins homeless. and many of them get 800-1k soc security. They just can't afford to live in the US. So, if you told me i can live decent, have a roof over my head and eat, in the PH. or live in the streets in the usa. It seems to me the PH would be a great idea.
As a Chinese I would advise you refrain from ranting against poor countries. Or keep saying China is far ahead. Once or twice is enough. Otherwise your channel would only attract the wrong subscribers.
I agree, you do it once it’s fine even though it’s odd enough when they don’t even have a history with that country. But more than once it gets suspicious, Philippines doesn’t even have a lot of foreign retirees in the first place, so doing these type of content that specifically targets a certain country is suspicious because we factually know some of these foreign china vloggers are being sponsored by their own government/CCP, so to make these type of videos right during PH-CH SCS disputes really makes you wonder if it was just mere coincidence or there’s an agenda here.
@@ryanspinoza6586 Correct. I've seen too many of these videos going around. The only thing lacking in his videos are Chinese subtitles. They think people are too stupid not to know that they are things going on behind the scenes.
Should also make a video, on the Chinese Visa issue, nearly 100% of foreigners will encounter, if you want to stay longer than 30 days. Staying in China long term, only through marriage, or if you have a talent or skill Chinese need.
I don't know where you are from but obviously your ethnicity is black. Yes you may be right China is way better than Ph but why are they sending their people to Ph. I would never value Ph to 10 though to be honest i have 25% Chinese blood.
China is a huge country with 1.4billion people. Of course there are poor people, but the fact is that life is getting better than in other countries!! India also has 1.4billion people. Compared to India, China is heaven!!
So you went to a rural or poor area in Philippines and stayed in a modernised city in China, got it. The problems you listed in Philippines is very common among poor and developing countries, especially in rural areas but not as much if you’re in urbanised cities. Also, the reason foreigners retire in Philippines is because of the people itself (very common answer among foreigners) and the fact that they are multi-lingual. When China was poor, it had the exact same issues you listed for Philippines, why? because they’re rooted down to economic problems and corruption. So these kind of comparison is like trying to compare a poor/developing city in China to Japan’s Tokyo or Osaka.
@@Shekumanstravel You were listing down all the downsides of Philippines and all the upsides of China. If I may ask, how did you want your post to be understood? Nearly all of your complaints about Philippines was valid and fair, in fact most Filipinos themselves literally complain about the same things too, you would know that if you stayed there long enough, especially if you grew up in it. There's more than enough self-hate which is why there's too many Filipinos who goes overseas. I checked your channel and history, I skimmed through it and it's just a little suspicious. It seems too conveniently targeted or well-timed with the current geopolitical state of affairs in Asia and US. I'm not gonna name names but your video history recently reminded me of one of those CCP sponsored travel vloggers, so it's natural that I'm quite skeptical about the honesty of your post.
CCP sponsored travel vloggers? So where are the non-ccp sponsored travel vloggers who show things that fits your preconception (or misconception) of the country? I've seen quite a number of those vloggers' videos and they are just showing things as they are. And you have label them like they are doing some secret dealings because of that?
