    Sad stories about heart weak or ♋ Cancer or father in jail or hospital i do hear them daily on Facebook to every Filipino girls and boys i try to chat with on Facebook. I used to help them last year,but i learn that it's the way they make money. But here in Zambia 🇿🇲 taxi is expensive and bike's are cheap like half a dollar.

    Love this kind of Video as it is just like sitting down with you as I have Always enjoyed our conversations. Derek is a Great Guy and Very Helpful to Expats as His Motorcycles are the BEST Quality and He is one of the Reasons my Trips to the Philippine's went so smooth and actually led to me Living Here now. The ride to his place from the airport is so close ($300-400 peso cab ride). LMOA about the Rat as I actually was riding my ADV and had to dodge a Cat sized Rat crossing the road by SM Mall and I was Laughing so much for about 5-10 minutes as i guess it was better then a poor stray dog. Ai is Derek's Sweet better half.. Keep rolling Bro and I Look forward to "Inspire" being ready for Island hopping. Guys should reach out and Rent his Bikes.

    Hello Derek, I have been to the Philippines 3 times in the last two years. The latest Scam I was involved in was a Guy at the ticket place in Dumaguete helping people to get their tickets for the Ferry. He didn't even work for the boat lines. This was just his hustle to get tips from the Dumb Foreigners (ME). Actually, the boat lines should put a stop to this happening at their business. Other than that, It was a GREAT trip. Take care.
