A unique interview, nice to hear his perspective. Something you might want to explore as you appeal to retirees. I am 66, a lot of what I see in other men around me is their sense of entitlement, regardless of social economic status and they are spoiled. No ability to comprehend what is actually important in their lives. Stuck on possessions.
Sorry for the sound crackle I had a short in my mic and didn't know it. Ironic that it happened while interviewing a sound guy
Well said
@@everymanhasastory its ok, i love the way you interviewed him...
Sir! You are so correct! Spoiled and entitled. Humble/Humility, appreciation…kinda hard to find now in a lot of people. 😞
Everyone of us has a great story.We live a beautiful story.
His pronunciation of Baguio, Yolanda, Palawan, Dumaguete, showed that he did grow up in the Philippines.
This guy gives “babe magnet” a whole new meaning. He speaks the language, great personality and good looking.
Thank you for the great afternoon, it was so nice meeting you and Jen and I enjoyed the interview!
Thank you Kevin. So sorry my mic had a short
Ironic it happened while interviewing a sound guy
@@everymanhasastory no worries all good 😁
Kevin, do you know the St Clair's (Steve and Dottie). Recently, Steve passed on and went home to be with the Lord.
hi Kevin, loving your story. have the reverse of your situation, born in the Philippines but lived in the US for over 20 years but now I decided to move back specifically in Dumaguete. (Mom is from here originally) Loving dumaguete and hopefully you would love it too. has 5 hospitals as well! Maybe I’ll run into you sometime . Enjoy your stay
@@paoskie8566 Hi! I'm leaving for Manila tomorrow but I'll be back in a week or so 😃
One thing I noticed is that Kevin is very humble, respectful, and has a happy disposition in life.
Thanks so much! 🙂
@@kevinsoundmixer His missionary parents thought him well. I should know. I’m a PK!
@@kevinsoundmixer Filipinos would like you to make the country your homebase. Growing up in the early 70s many of my friends were American missionary kids like you .
Gosh you're right the same thoughts i had. Very balanced disposition.
@@coolfeet77 you mean "taught"....
Ironic that the interview with the sound technician had faulty sound 🤣🤣🤣
I thought something wrong with my earphone lol
😆
I was born and raised in the Philippines, and have been living in the US for almost 40 yrs now. I plan to retire back home in about 7 yrs. Thank you for loving our motherland and best of luck, if ever you decide to retire there too. And thanks for this awesome interview. 🙏⚘️
A very nice man who has a Filipino heart. Thank you for the wonderful words about Philippines and thanks Mark for being a good ambassador of our country esp Dumaguete which I have to visit one day.
Another great interview. Gold! There's something about the Philippines. I spent 3 months in Bicol and I fell in love with the place even though it it doesn't have everything. Hope you find your piece of paradise in Philippines!
The lesser we have the happier we are.
@bernard martin I'm in Camarines Norte. Our big city is Daet. I'm south of Daet along the San Miguel Bay
@Siopao The Great,
Same question, What part of Bicol? I'm in Camarines Norte and I have many friends in Naga City.
@@steveseclecticadventures1894 I know the place. You’re lucky to be living near Calaguas Island. So beautiful,just like the Caribbean.
"there is something about the Philippines" well for one, Dollar earner Americans are 20x-30x richer in the Philippines 🥰
Faith Academy is in Brookside Hills in Cainta, Rizal. It’s still there. It indeed has quite a number of foreign students kids of mostly US missionary parents.
Im an indie filmmaker with my own pro equipment. I got married and moving to the Philippines in about 3 years. This is a person I would like to meet to maybe start something in this industry. Great interview.
Hey man, I am more in animation. But I did a little indie films in the past. I have many friends in indie and commercial field. My friend "*Rox Lee" is in film and animation. He's the creator the comic strip "*Ceasar Asar". If you need people like cinematographer, writer, extra, contacts and volunteers. Get in touch with him. He can help you. He's youtube channel is ruclips.net/user/zeroxlee.
In his channel, you can watch the short film Tito's wedding. We made that back in 1994. We won best film in short film category in Metro-Manila film festival that year.
@@Thudothwacker Thanks
Im not sure if its because he is a son of missionary parents or he grew up in the Philippines, but you can really feel he is genuinely humble and happy.
Thanks for promoting my country , the Philippines. It’s improving and becoming a better place to live in.
Better believe it , it’s a melting pot. I met a lady from Ukraine and she lives in the Visayas and knows how to speak in Tagalog and Visayan.
its Bisaya
Another pleasant interview/interaction between humble men. A lot of lessons to learn to be patient and appreciate life in the Philippines.
Kevin’s story is very similar to mine. I was born in Ca. but went to school in the PI for 9 years. Glad you got to interview him.
Kevin thank you and good bless always take care
Mark thank you for loving and not giving up on the Phils. I know it’s not perfect but it’s striving, many flaws but there are good things to see.
Good interview by the way. Keep up the good work. God bless you and Jen.
Out of all the interviews I have watched from your channel, this stands out and is my favorite. Seems like a great guy, very energetic and positive. Thanks Mark.
Interesting..I was Born in the Philippines but grew up in the US. Now planning to go back for the first time after 54 years in a couple of weeks.
I am based in Savannah georgia. I worked in Memorial health hospital for 28 years and 7 years in Candler hospital. So, we are neighbors. I wish we can connect!!!!
Sound mixer for the movie The Black Phone. Wow. Recently saw that movie. Awesome.
Thank you so much for putting good words to my country. I missed Dumaguete, studied at Silliman U. for a year. Yes, it is more fun in the Philippines, enjoy your stay , just go with the flow on how the lifestyle there and you are right for those people who has not been in Philippines to bring their patience.Watching from Houston TX
I can totally relate to Kevin! So I finally visited the Philippines after 14 years last month after leaving the country when I was 20. Man it felt really weird it felt like being in a foreign country, same feeling that I had when I first move to the US. It dawned on me that I am more American than Filipino now. So I playfully refer to myself now as a Kanoy (Amerikano + Pinoy) lol!😅🤣
I left the PI when I was 20. Now retired and retard 😜 and bk in PI after 45 years! But didn’t act like AMERICANONG HILAW 🇺🇸 . It dont matter whether your black or white. What matter is your inside . 💁
you have been americanized
great story.it's always good to hear from foreigners what and how they like about the Philippines.we don't notice a lot of good things about our country that foreigners do.
Great interview. Thank you Mark and I’m very much impressed by your humility and you having embraced the culture of Filipinos. I’m currently based in the US and looking forward to be back home and to stay there for good.
One of my favorite interview, he should produce his own show here in the Philippines and set up his own studio and release these movie or music internationally.
Awesome guy, very humble and has the soul of a Filipino
Everyman, You channel is Awesome, It’s Real, I finally Subscribed,😊, Your a Good Man Sir, God Bless Tito
Thank you so much for subscribing Tito and your kind words made my day ❤️
@@everymanhasastory Tito means uncle. They’re calling you uncle
@@jasonwill5949 Yes I married Tita, so adopted the name Tito, 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭,
Kevin has had an amazing life, and very different from what we would usually see on your channel. To have that childhood, it seems so different from growing up in the US, but also very wonderful life, most cannot imagine. Thanks Mark for a very cool story. Take care, and my best to you and Jen.
Awesome interview with a talented, skilled & humble person. Ty Mark for sharing this great video. 👍❤️🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏
Great man thanks MARK.
Great interview . He’s interesting, well spoken and has a great attitude. It’s ironic the microphone had problems with the sound production guy .
There is an ongoing debate in the Philippine senate this week about opening up the Ph economy to more FDIs ( foreign direct investments) by removing the 60/40 clause from the constitution in order to spur more job creation etc
The Filipinos are always a welcoming people.
I was part of the US Navy relief that came to help after Mt. Pinatubo erupted. They talked about the volcano, flood, earthquake, typhoon that seemed to hit at the same time. We had been their the month before and the change was drastic. He has had a very interesting life. This was a very good interview, too bad your mic didn't cooperate.
I was there when volcano erupt we had to evacuate.
Yes, Mt pinatubo eruption reminded me about my most arduous task of my navy career in Cubi Pt. That day it was raining mud,
Yeah the mud was up to my knees so we had to evacuate ...now my ex hes us airforce station in eglin airforce base
I was there too LL layug student here
Was that the eruption that made the US decide to just close for good the US bases in Olongapo and Pampanga. ONE OF the reasons. The other was the rent increase?
i would like to see this guy again on the channel i am older than he is and remember those events myself. i remember my cousins cleaning up that ash in Muntinlupa
wow! unique guest with major contacts , I hope he can produce more Filipino music and it becomes a Big hit around the world .
it is time for a New Fun Song /Dance craze to circle the planet like the Hay Macarena !
Tim Tebow kinda grew up in the Philippines. His parents were also missionaries or still is.
Interesting. I did not know that. Thank you for watching.
Tim tebow was born in the phil, but grew up in the us...
Thank you very much Kevin for helping our country during those hard times. Again thank you so much.
Since he speaks Tagalog and has a foreign face there are lots of opportunities in Manila where most of the major tv/film companies are. Here in LA there’s a lot of Filipino Americans in tv production. Some are even producers now. The first major Filipino American movie sponsored by Stephen Spielberg just came out called Easter Sunday.
He can be a model
You didn't make a Tagalog speaking sampler...for viewers
I don't know why Easter Sunday isn't shown here in the Philippines.
@@my_other_side473 it will premiere this Sept.. Jokoy is already here🇵🇭
Another awesome interview Mark. Very interesting how he grew up in the Philippines. Just a great interview.
Mark, this is another good one. Kevin brings a different insight and perspective about foreigner or expat’s living in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I'm Fil-Am in my 50s and started toying with the idea of maybe retiring there. Things are just horrible here in the USA...so much lawlessness, bad economy, high inflation.
Try visiting first to explore then decide.
Go someplace with lots of expats like Dumaguete or Dipolog.
Lawlessness, bad economy, high inflation.....that's what my husband and I are thinking too. We're counting down to the day we move back to the Philippines...18 months from now. The good thing is we have a house that we built there four years ago without debt. The only thing we'll be paying would be the annual property tax. Can't wait to sell our house here and get out of here.
It's even worse here in the PH.
I like your Channel , you got to get a glimpse of a persons’ life , journey, struggles , success , lessons in life ..
Good interview Mark!
Unique interview and hello from Oregon. Fascinating past experience, So interesting to hear the perspective of someoneWhom is American yet grew up in the Philippines.. I'm looking forward to returning to the Philippines again for my retirement but a little obstacle I'm waiting for a transplant.. take careThanks for sharing
🙏🙏
I hope and i pray for your healing sir!
Oh yes you got that right I have been acquainted to Filipino culture since the nineties,had many Filipino friends.. Thank you kindly have an excellent day
🙏🙏
thanks mark. always look forward to your interviews when i wake up
Thank you for your support Toby
The Philippines has always had a huge potential but a confluence of factors is holding it back which is very dismaying, to say the least.
Toxic dilawans now took a back seat in government, so we expect a brighter future and high flying Philippines.
@@pingyu5141 Facts show that PNoy’s reign had high growth rates, sometimes the best in ASEAN. Just saying even though you’re not willing to accept it or believe it. Best of luck to your country.
@@mochapoundcake oh you still don't realize it? Ang pamayagpag ng fake news ng Dilawan has ended. Lol. You are not believed anymore by more filipinos than your dilawan pink kind.😁
WHAT A DOWN TO EARTH PERSON....A GREAT PERSON IN A HUMBLE BODY.
He has the same childhood as Tim Tibow's
A very nice story, he care for the country who adopted him and learned their ways, and become part of it
You could live in a beautiful place and walk their beautiful streets but still you feel you don't belong.
Very interesting interview. His parents created a great background for growing up and it shows. Happy Trails
...Mt Pinatubo...straddle between Pamp n Zambales...the place where you passed by is Pampanga..Clark ABase is in Angeles City..closed down due to ash fall in 1991..
What a pleasant guy, his ability to carve out of business involving something that he's passionate about is really cool. He's had an interesting life thus far I wish him the best and I can see him and his family retiring in the Philippines in the future.
He should become a PI traveling you tuber. Spending time on each island and show us the culture..........I mean a year or two on each island to get better insight.
Awesome interview .You have a great channel Mark.
Except for the heat and the bad traffic situation, almost every problem in the PH comes with a solution like those crowing roosters and barking dogs, there are many places in the PH where those noises are unheard of. Long lines in supermarkets? Do your shopping when everyone else is having lunch. I love the Philippines!
Great advice 👍 Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
One of the most famous singers coming out of the Philippines is Arnel Campaner Pineda! The lead singer of Journey for the last 15 years!!
Mark, nice to watch your channel vlog with some cool guest like Kevin, who is not stuck on himself. He is humble , & never lose his love on filipinos & the Philippines as a whole. More power to your channel vlog Mark! From, B.C., Canada.
There is another american who was born in the US and raised in the Philippines. His name is Bret Jackson. He is active and working in the Philippines Entertainment Industry (showbiz). You guys should do an interview on him also.
Like other said, he should check the local film industry in Manilla and also make contact with Philippinos working in movies around LA. His backgound will make him interesting to producers.
Wow! its a great story. Thanks for the wonderful story about our country. Welcome back, good luck and enjoy🌞🏖️
Enjoy your stay po thanks for loving our native land. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Welcomw back to our beautiful Philippines.! Thank you for appreciating what we have in our country.
Love this guy Kevin. Thanks for the interview Mark…
Great and unique interview…👏👏😂
You should hire this guy you have a lot of static in this video
So sorry. There was a short in my mic. I threw it away after the interview
😂
That’s funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Sounds like he has a good career that can lead to him living there in the PI. Either working there or as a home base as a transient worker going where he is needed. Wish him luck.
Wow it's good to hear that you're christian and you're staying in the philippines God bless. Watching from Davao philippines..
He's my favorite among all of your guests so far. I'm liking all the stories, though. Great job.
Interesting story of your guest today.
Just a suggestion, how about Discovery Philippines or maybe Documentary TV?
Pampanga where the Mt. Pinatubo errupted.
Philippines was a progressive country once during Marcos Sr. regime.
Great ideas. Thanks 😊
@@anythinggoose8336 🤣🤣
8:32. Typhoon 🌀 Haiyan. ( Yolanda ).
You're absolutley right about taking things slow. I'm still learning that since I moved here. You need a lot of patience. But I love it here.
Wow..im a proud Batangueño...but I've been here in america for 30 yrs....god bless u for going for ur dreams and visit the hometown🤘🤘🤘
Great interview! I am always amazed when people are coming to Dumaguete to see the potential of retiring there. I am on the same shoes as my parents recently relocated back and now Negros is home :)
From Oregon, Arizona, North Carolina, Illinois and Georgia to the Philippines! Hey, I'd most love to see the majestic Grand Canyon Park! Love this video, the interviewer and the interviewee are great guys as I can see.Watching fr. Baguio City.
hey dude,if you're reading this ..... why don't you start a youtube channel that's about the 2 things you like music & the philippines ..... you seem like a very likable guy,i can feel filipinos around the world will support you, especially when they learn you were raised here & even go to school & is quite familiar with the filipino culture ...... filipinos even supported some vloggers that you can tell their fake reactions (sorry,im just being real) about them loving the philippines ..... you are more deserving of the support of millions of noypis around the world than these guys ........ good luck to you man !!!!!!!
Hey thanks so much!
Agreed
@@kevinsoundmixer i hope you could check out REO brothers band from Tacloban and maybe you could produce good music for them.
I appreciate your love and deep understanding of the Philippines as a country and our culture. If you are looking into bringing your career to the Philippines, there are many international production companies on the country. Bigfoot Entertainment (Florida) also has production studios in Cebu. I believe it's also a school where you can possibly teach.
Opposite situation to Tim Tebow (former NFL quarterback) who are of missionary family as well....born in the Philippines but grew up in the states but he and family maintained their connections throughout the years, coming back from time to time checking out on the schools and orphanages they had established.
Thanks bro for loving Philippines and I'm sure Filipino people would love you in return,wish you too good luck in your career ..god bless to both of you.
Really interesting interview, seems like a great guy. My son went to college to be in sound design, but his career took a different turn.
Lol. Philippines would teach you how to be more patient. Just go with flow and your life would be changed.😀
Kevin, Maybe try contacting professor Jonah Lim independent Filmmaker.
He was also teaching (fine arts) at Silliman university in the nineties. And now based back in Manila.
Similar to Tim Tebow. Wow.
Interesting experience and job he got. I believed that he can get opportunities to the local music/film industry. Good luck.
All the best for you, Kevin
I enjoyed this interview. I usually tune in to hear stories from my fellow womanizing and alcoholic expats.🤣
This interview was wholesome and appreciated.
I will try to get to Dumagette in 2023 to tell my sad tale. I love the Philippines and live there intermittently.
Regards,
Michael Jones
THANK YOU FOR LOVING OUR COUNTRY!!!
I am Filipino and living in New York for almost 40 years. I’m now ready to go back home, thank you for your story, it made me feel more excited to go back home!
I like your life story and is happy that you like the Philippines. You can be an English teacher or be in a Peace Corps helping the barrio or do blog. Good luck to you and God bless you and your family.
I like his story and life experiences. I like how he has ties to and loves the Philippines and understands the people and culture. Arnel Pineda from Manila was discovered on youtube and went on to become Journey's lead singer. I am a freelance writer and would like to contact your guest. Mark, how can I be in touch with him? Can you provide his contact info? Thanks.
@Kevin Barney you can check on his you tube channel @Kevinsoundmixer.
@@explorer346 Thank you
Another great one interview.. happy lives here in the Philippines sir
Ya ,it was mount pinatubo volcano eruptions ,it was year 1992 in pampangga city.
you have a great memory. You just said what occurred in our country so easy.
pinatubo was part of botolan, zambales northwest of luzon that was 1991. we survive all those tragedy.
I'm an Ex Filipino and in the 70s grew up in an Adventist College that has roots in an American protestant missionary school,we had several Amercan teachers and PHD professors and leaders and their families in the campus ,their kids were my playmates as I lived in the campus and they were my neighbors .
Even Team T boo is a football player. He grew up in the Philippines and his parents were missionaries as well in the Philippines. T boo still goes back to the Philippines. He has a Christian foundation there. My Pastor way back in New York he grew up as well in the Philippines and with missionaries parents. He said he didn’t want to leave the Philippines but he has too, to go to college here in the US. His parents never left the Philippines and died in the Philippines as missionaries.
Another thing to remember for potential expats is that Dumaguete isn’t the only place you can retire in. No, Siree!!! Figure out whether you’re the urban or rural type, figure out your budget, do your research, then come out here and check it out. Hopefully, you’ll like it because IT’S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES. 😁😁😁🙏🙏 ☮️☮️ ❤️❤️
Try South Cebu. Many land is sold today. I live here. But my most provincial is Camotes Island. Small island. Very beautiful and quiet. Try it too. We also have lands for sale.
Talking about RUclips and singing sensations and discovering them ,one of the biggest in the Philippines is Charice, you should read how she was discovered .
Hey that's cool an american speaks tagalog I always love to hear a foreigner that speaks tagalog that's a plus!
