Today I'm digging through my mailbag to answer some of the most frequently-asked questions: What kind of budget do i need to live in the Philippines? What if she wants children and I don't? Why don't Filipinos laugh at my jokes?
Hopefully my answers will provide you with a little more insight into life in the Philippines, and let you know what to expect if you ever visit or relocate here!

In Baguio, I needed about $1500 for a 'good' life, living WITH my wife. We ate out most nights, and did many things together. It wasn't a 'simple' life, which we could have done easily with under $1000 a month. We had a very nice condo right in the middle of the city paying 27,500 pesos ($550 a month). We also had top of the line internet, since I worked online and needed the best possible internet.
What internet service did you use? I'm thinking of moving there and could use some advice!
When my wife (Cebuana) and I were courting we discussed and agreed on God, children, family support (only in dire documented need) and living location. It eliminated many issues and we have been very happily married over 20 years now.
Finding a Filipina who doesn't want children is unlikely on the other hand an older Foreigner may do very well with a single mother as a great wife. I was a single father full custody when I met my wife she raised my son and we had children as well.
We enjoy your honest no BS content here very much Pea!
Thanks Mossback! Nope, no BS here 😊
I love that you're being very blunt and outspoken.
Your videos are always insightful.
For you, Pea: You are to be commended for having your finger not only on the pulse of the Philippines, but also on the U.S. EVERYTHING you've referenced is remarkably accurate.
For your viewers: Listen to what this woman is telling you. It will save you grief. It will grease your emerging life here. From the broad topics to the nuances she shares, this information is invaluable.
I watched this video and found myself consistently nodding my head in affirmation with each point she made (previous videos are the same). I've been fortunate with my transition here, and can say from experience that this should be considered a graduate course in Filipino life from a foreigner's perspective.
Ms. Pea is awesome.
Wow, a graduate course! I breezed right past high school - thanks!!
@@TheFilipinaPea with credits. Take a bow ma'am .
Very good advice about kids. Men need to realized that most women want kids. Also, if they don't think they want kids now, they can change their mid later. Four years ago I married an amazing Filipina in her 50's (I was in my 60's). Three of her kids were grown and the other was almost grown. My kids were grown. Since we were in the same life stage, that was not an issue. We are very happy together
Pea’s a savvy operator, I hope her vlogs get the credit she deserves.
This Little Pea is quickly becoming the best informational PH channel on RUclips for foreigners. You can do well if you set up an online consultation for fee
Thanks Pickle! I appreciate the vote of confidence 😊
I concur.
@@TheFilipinaPea great ive managed to tag you. Look forward to your replys.
Filipina Dad here--for me really, without the kiddos as the exclamation point of your love, what is ultimately the purpose? I may be the exception here, but I can't imagine life without my daughters. They are the bouquet of my soul.
Sucking sounds and hand gestures!! Killin me!
I found a 11 year old girl who had lost her father at age 9. Drugs involved. Her mother was not taking care of her. Very under weight. I now have a 16 year old adopted daughter. She is the greatest blessing to me. Still no wife though. 😆
"They are the bouquet of my soul" expresses it perfectly. I will remember your excellent words sir.
Jim Rr Good job with your adopted daughter
I have watched a number of your videos. You well spoken, thoughtful and directly honest. For those inexperienced with Filipinas, Lady Pea gives sound advice - on top of being really cute.
Just got finished watching this one can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed your answer to that last question spot on perfect advice and I love your sense of humor.
Another great video with perfectly straightforward advice and a nice dose of humor- thank you Pea!
True about the sarcasm part...when I first met my girl 6 years ago, she was pretty much oblivious to it, and took everything word for word, but over the course of six years she has picked up on using her own sarcasm also. :) Have to disagree on the microwave thing though Pea. Microwaves are great for heating up leftovers also. You can cook a bulk meal and have it for a couple days, or get a Chinese takeout meal heat up the leftovers the next day. Only takes a couple of minutes to reheat a meal, its great for those quick midnight snacks! They suck for cooking things from scratch, but great for a quick reheating. Also great for a quick defrosting of anything that is frozen.
Refrigerators and microwaves go together hand in hand! If you cook with the idea of instant meals of leftovers for a day or 2 you save money and always satisfy hunger in a moment. That's what I do here in Atlantic City, NJ. I am a retired bachelor now and I like to cook but leftovers in the fridge is an alternative to tempting but unhealthy snacks!
Another great informative video....the Ferrari....the vacuum hose and "the punch yourself in the face for me" cracked me up..🤣🤣🤣
YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND!!!
ROGUE! You’re always so nice to me 😊
Don't forget about "getting kicked in the nuts" She cracks me up too
@@TheFilipinaPea I love you
happy wife happy life if you love her GIVE HER WHAT SHE WONTS !!! it is a trade off new life forget where you came from learn her ways
Then ......... give us those babies!!!! 😆
I dispise that statement and often find it dishonest and not sharing the real person!
I hate that phrase ,,,,
You utter simp.
Keep that shit in the USA. Be a man for once
Pea! Your the secretariat of you tube. There never be another like you. Be Blessed in life.
The way to a foreigners heart is to understand his sarcasm
Yes, you guys are ...... full of it! 😆
Great video Pea! Honesty is the ONLY policy to build a relationship on! Love and Respect!
Amen to that!
@@TheFilipinaPea I was SO lucky my asawa, from the moment we met, was honest about everything - brutally honest in some ways. She was an open book and there was no question what I was getting when I decided to ask her to marry me. That held us together until her death 42 years later.
You are wise beyond your years
Beautiful too
Miss. Pea I am a long time resident of the PI and encountered many of the things you talk about. My day, however, is not complete without watching at least one of your informative and amusing videos. Thank you for the joy you give me and many others.
Well then I better make more videos before you catch up!! Thanks!! 😊
...remember..the very lovely, wise and generous Dr.Pea always tells it like it is...and sometimes these pills she prescribes are really hard to swallow..but her advice is always good to follow...so take it ... and also be sure to like it...and subscribe...
Awww thanks LR! If everyone listened to you, we’d have reached 25k subscribers already! 😊
Hahaha love it. The lack of sarcasm with my Filipina is real, I find myself saying something sarcastic, but then back-tracking for 30 mins explaining that what I said didn't actually mean... what I said. Almost impossible to explain lol. Also, your first point on the discussion of children I 100% agree with, we were talking about marriage, children, future goals and plans, living expectations and dreams all within the first couple weeks. Why not huh? Because if you don't follow each others paths then maybe you're not right for each other, so why waste time?
It’s true, isn’t it? Sarcasm just doesn’t work here, leading many foreigners to conclude that we’re such serious people (which we kind of are) 😊
@@TheFilipinaPea You're serious, but not humorless. I used to enjoy Dolphy; he was a master and his humor worked because, like most humor, there's the ring of truth to it.
A lot of people who comment on your stories want to bringing all their luggage with them , go to Phillipines live like a philipino and give up the booze , you might be able to have a kid in your 60s and live on $1000 month, or stay unhappy with all your addictions in your own country
If you and your "Filipina wife" buy a home (paid for) in the Philippines you could live off of $500 per month comfortably. Make sure to buy your food from the wet market. Much less expensive and much more healthier...😉
If something happened to my wife, I'd either look for a Filipina, or a Cambodian gal. Probably in their mid-40's. If it were a Filipina, she wouldn't have to worry about me wanting to bring her to the U.S. as I'd live in the 'Pines. She would never have to worry about leaving her family, she would just eat better, with *moderately* better living conditions than she currently would have, and I'd make it clear that her family is always welcome, but not supported past my comfort zone.
I would help, of course, but not to the point of even coming CLOSE to spoiling them. Only to see they never go hungry, or sleep under a leaky roof, take care of any basic dental/medical (NOT for the alcoholics, though).
I've seen their "houses". I can build a primitive, bamboo house, that would be FAR better, than what most poor Pinay currently live in. That's pretty sad. :^(
However, my Filipina would want for nothing dental, or medical.
As I love to cook, she would have access to the same cookware I'd use. Primitive, but efficient.
That's me.... Primitive, but efficient. :^)
No cars unless she currently owned one (not likely).... Motorbikes, public transportation, and walking only.
I would want one who didn't want kids, or already had them. I'm sterile.
@@dragunovbushcraft152 lol you're really funny...reminds me of the guy that says my kids will be like this or like that. No way are they gonna do this or that. I just won't allow it.....uhh yeah right. What's it like living in your fairy tale world scooter.
I wouldn't want to go if I didn't want to embrace the culture. I love how the families help each other. I'd love to live in the Province (country)
Live like a Filipino and give up the booze, are you kidding
2 adults and 4 kids from 3 to 12 years we use average 72000 PHP / month. Travel and sightseeing is extra. We don't have a car.
Thanks. this is what I was expecting. I'll be moving to the philipines next december and was estimating 50-60k for the both of us.
I love how your videos are put together. You have a message and do not waste our time. Great job!
Thanks David! Yes, I don’t like to waste your time, so I try to pack the info into each video 😊
I’m 58 years old and my girlfriend - future wife - is 26. It’s quite an age gap and it was in one of our first mails whether to have children or not. Basically i’ve abandoned that idea but i’m perfectly aware that if you have a young wife things aren’t so simple. She would love to have children and, hand on heart, so would I. So yes, we’re going to have kids. I’m not too old, BUT, i’m perfectly aware too that i’ll at max will have 25 years left on this planet but those 25 years could be the best possible period for our kids - and maybe mine too.
Go for it mate this is not a dress rehearsal mate one life live it I'm 54 my wife is 27 half my age I have a 7 year old from my ex wife my son I take care of him that's what dad's do never mind useless mother's who abandon kids that's what makes us who we are
Yes, your kids will appreciate it a lot, to lose their father when they are 25 (or even earlier) (Pea, that was sarcasm). Thanks to universe, that when my father died a few years ago, I have had him for many decades ... Means: No, Sir, it is no good idea to become father with 58. The only advantage is, the children get your money very early (if there is any). But if they love you, they will not be happy about money, having lost you.
Kasper, listen to me. 58 is TOO old, ok. I'm 49 and my kid is in middle school and I waited too long. You have NO clue the energy and the worry you go thru as an older parent (and money). Be a man and just be honest with yourself that you are agreeing to having kids as a way of keeping your woman, which is just sad. Plus you are raising the chance that your kid will be autistic (its true), and all the other kids will think you are the grandfather. You will be 72 before any kid is even in high school. Grow up.
Again why you think like this, you as a man should understand if that girl really truly loves you and you are the same with here it shouldn't matter how old you are. Have kids and enjoy the life you have. You could live to 100 years old and still she's there taking care of you.
@@GUITARTIME2024 I'm 72 in Thailand, my girlfriend who is 32 already has kids whom I just supported for their upcoming school year. Perfect for me and them..
Pea the honesty you bring forth is so refreshing. Thank you a thousand times for being you. WE need the truth but for some it stings. They know they are getting scammed but just keep going ahead instead of walking away. Cheers to you.
100 % on - I think I agree with everything you said. Thumbs up. I need to watch again. Thank you, Pea.
Thanks Brian! Even the punch in the face comment? 😆
You're the face of truth, how refreshing and brave. I visited your country several times while in the navy. I was young, arrogant and only interested in one thing. Forty years have passed and I often think of what my actions then did to those girls in the long run.
With age comes wisdom (hopefully), and in your case, it apparently did 😊
You are one of a kind Miss Pea! Very entertaining and interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing.
I was paying $500 a month for a room in the GRASS RESIDENCES condo in Quezon City.
6 pools, a gym, a basketball court, laundry and access to local grocery.
Because it was in Metro Manila I had stable electricity, stable plumbing and was able to shop at the Trinoma mall for any food items I wanted.
The mall stores have microwavable food. I do however believe it’s healthier to get fresh food and cook it using the electric grill or propane grill.
I preferred white rice and meat or if I had noodles are usually preferred Ramen noodles instead of pancit.
It was actually easy for me to lose weight in the Philippines because every single day I would swim for miles in the pool for exercise.
The Filipino pasta was cheap as well as the rice and the meats but when I wanted to make homestyle pen ala vodka or chopped meat spaghetti it was slightly more pricey.
You may have sold me on Manila. Thanks
did it include electricity?
I rest my case
@@carlschleicher5516 I am sure u will enjoy Manila
I love this girl. Thanks Pea. I still see 100,000 subscribers. Only 82 thousands to go. 😎
Good explanation can't get better than that..thanks and God blessed
Very good advice. Open and honest is always the best policy. Honesty must begin with ourselves. Being able too see our own selfishness is hell of a jump. 😂
You got that right, Orville - most people never see it at all
My wife knew I couldn't give her children when we first met. She is fine with that. We have been together for 3 1/2 years now. Our normal monthly expensive is around 1300 dollars or 65k pesos. Sometimes it can be more depending on what we do that month.
That does seem to be a popular figure, yes 😊
wonderful advice Pea, Thank you for your wonderful time and efforts.
Simply awesome. Thanks
As for Peter, the children issue is usually a deal killer. If the 2 have opposite views, you ultimately have no deal. Be up front and do not waste the girl's time. An alternative is to get a single mom if you wish. Raising kids in PI is cheap anyway.
Don't forget: deal killer. I got lucky and have a filipina with 2 kids and doesn't want more, so we can both handle that.
As for Ms. Pea, you are looking beautiful as usual my dear.
Simply put, you are the best! Great information and entertainment, love your humor.
Another Brilliant, No-Nonsense video. At your young age you already have the common sense and wisdom of a sage. I hope my fellow canadian follows your advice, twice. Lots of naive guys getting fleeced like that in Thailand.
Thanks! Yeah, I like to give it to you fast and honest - no time for BS 😊
Yes informative and Entertaining Ms Pea !
I have to tell you, I love your direct, no nonsense honesty and clarity. Your english is excellent. You certainly are hot and fresh.
From my experience you can live decently on $1500 month: one bedroom apartment, AC, food, eating out occasionally, medical care. If you want a car then that's an extra expense, but where I was (Cebu) the tricycles and jeepneys worked fine. If you want to rent an entire house, then it's more of course.
That’s seems about right, Mike, yup 😊
$1500 if you want western lifestyle and in a city. And seriously, with western lifestyle you should consider living in europe. You get a good life in Germany with $1500.
@@llothar68 1500$ is not enough for a good live in Germany you need at least 2400$ for a good live in Germany
Ms Pea! Your videos are very informative, entertaining and beautifully delivered!
Keep up the excellent work!
The way you word your point makes so much sense thank you for giving such great answers thank you
Hi Pea
I have wanted to visit the Philippines and even thought about living there one day. Thanks for the incite on things there and how Philippine women fill about kids.
You're right. It's inevitable, be true to yourself, and her. Why lie. Would you want her to look at you and to tell otherwise? C'mon mann
You are an extremely intelligent and honest woman. Very much appreciated thank you
One of your best yet! You have a future as a stand-up comedian.
Loved it Pea! Looking forward to the next! Your mind is very attractive.
Thanks AL! I’ll have something new for ya by Tuesday 😊
@@TheFilipinaPea I'm already salivating lol
I listen to you often. You have given me very good information. Thank you 🙏
I’ll keep it coming! Thanks Paul 😊
Love your refreshing and informative content. Keep up the good work!!!
This was awesome and so informative!!! Thank you. Well done
Good advice and entertaining as always Pea. A very important topic to bring up with honesty, early in a new relationship. Sometimes, if the guy likes kids but doesn’t want any/more, a single mom can be a compromise.It depends on your future plans I guess, plans to travel etc. Know what you want, and stick to it.
Yup, a single mom is a good compromise - as long as she’s legally single! 😆
A $100.00 a month electric bill for me would be a bargain. For comedy there needs to be a resurgence of the Three Stooges and Loony Tunes in the Philippines.
You're a victim of circumstances.
You think Jay Ward cartoons would work in the Philippines?
I wish that Pea would give a range on how much electricity is there, in cents per KWH.
That was informative and fun to watch ! Thanks Pea ! Mike F.
Such great incite and information. Can't get enough of the Pea.
Thanks Billy B!! 😊
You have the winning RUclips formula
Is it as good as the Colonel’s recipe? 😆
@@TheFilipinaPea Best chicken I ever had was from El Pollo loco in San Francisco. KFC tastes like sawdust compared to the Loco's secret recipe. I want to experiment to try to figure out how to duplicate it someday :)
Pea, you have me laughing.
House keeper being fed to the pigs. You kill me!! Lol
Thanks Daryl! Now get that stinky fish out of here, or you know what’s coming! 😆
@@TheFilipinaPea does the same threat of feeding to the pigs work for mother in law's as well. Hehehe
@@TheFilipinaPea OMG that's one place where I drew the line with my asawa is when she fried up dried fish. Absolutely not, take it outside, I don't care if it's snowing outside, take it outside. Dried fish may be your bacon, but it isn't bacon. No. Just no.
Thanks Pea.... its always best to be honest upfront so both parties are on the same page. Personally I want no more children and have had a vasectomy. Any woman I am serious about knows that upfront. Honesty works both ways.... these discussions are helpful for us men and your pinay sisters as well
Here's a tip before I go! You can have your own book of your Pea (one) liners. Your choice of words...... excellent, so too your English.
Hahahaha, I love the last piece of advice you gave that Canadian guy. He's someone who a woman can take to the cleaners and take all his money. 😅😅😅😅😅
And after that, he’ll be thinking up ways to earn more money to give her 😆
Tell him ask Ed
You are so funny😂Your priceless.😁😁😁
I've been binge watching your channel since i came across it this weekend. I love your honesty!!!
Wow, thanks Ernest! I hope you enjoy all my vids - each one is different and still relevant 😊
Pork and Chicken adobo and pancit and steamed rice keeps me happy, not to mention lumpia and all the other delicious snack foods! As a 65 year old white from California, with 5 children and 3 grandchildren, I'd 5 more if I found a young healthy woman who could bear them for me - I love children and they grow up and are gone before you can hardly blink an eye - cherish every minute with them while can!
Hi pea love your honesty you're a very beautiful woman⚘🥰
Thanks so much Stan!
Ms. Pea must get many love emails every week -- she's a real star.
Great Episode Pea! and... I have never like sarcasm. So Filipinas are jam thanks Pea 😎#theBaldGorilla (mark)
Wow! Lots of great information. Thank you Pea. I am here working out in the gym on Saturday morning. Have a good night ❤
Best info was about humor! Everything else "should" be common sense :) Thank you Pea. Can't wait for the next video! Stay safe.
People think they are gonna come here and live a "good" life on 800 dollars. Stop it. You're gonna live a simple, simple life that is hard for most to do.
They have beautiful beaches and really nice people but I own home here but would have to rent there or buy condo but think before you leap in and don’t have enough money to enjoy the beaches so why leave. I can make it there but I been on island before just not there and no I don’t think about it on less than $1500 at least.
Ed was wrong to not tell Rose that he didn’t want any children.
LMFAO!!!
I only saw the highlights. Ed was wrong about everything he said, and his intentions. Definitely
a 'bad man'.
Who in the hell is Ed?
ED Is a 2 Legged Pile Of CRAP that , Makes ALL MEN And Americans ........LOOK BAD :O(( SHE Should.......THANK GOD to be Rid Of HIM !!!!!!!!!!
Red Ranger stupid reality show called 90 day fiancé plenty of laughs though as showing wal mart influences in America
Hahaha!! Informative and humorous!! Thank you my friend!! Blessings!! :)
Thanks as always, friend!
Another great topics you picked & explained very well.All these will educated both sides.
More truth bombs from the Pea !! Great advice again... can she get to 20K subs this month ??
With the help of you folks, anything is possible!!
Like in one of her interviews, I ALSO predict Pea going over 100, 000. Count on it. Her subscriptions increase exponentially. Dilly Dilly.
Watching ALL your videos should be mandatory viewing for ALL naive Westerners!!
Pea I love it " Punch yourself in da face for me" Ai I cannot understand how some Lads do not WAKE up great content Pea I love your one liner's
It’s amazing, Thomas, it really is (and sad)
Yea. There's plenty of great ladies. Why torment yourself with a bad one.
For all those gents who are stupid or gullible enough (or maybe a cocktail of both) to get this played--you have earned your just desserts. And if you can't bring yourself to punch your own face I'll be happy to take care of that on your behalf!
Thomas Redmond yes I agree was very funny
Kenneth Boehnen that is so true
Thank you
Very helpful ! Thanks
Very good info. I suspected the girl's view on children, but I appreciate the clarity.
I am 58...she is 27...I want more children..yes I am one of the rare ones :)
60 with a baby?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was planning to have a vasectomy around the time I met my Filipina wife. Once I knew she was the one for me, and the she wanted kids, I had to cancel those plans. Love is about sacrifice. I have two more children now, and I don't regret it one bit. My mestizos are beautiful, intelligent, and just great in every way.
Congrats, Floyd - you both sound very happy!!!!
@@TheFilipinaPea we are approaching 6 years of marriage, so we're beating the statistics anyway. Would love to show off our pics
I have ended up with several children to love but no wife yet. The children of a widow who is my friend but not more than a friend, and I have adopted a girl who's father died and the mother is a drug addict. Seems I am going about this whole thing backwards. But I wouldn't change it for anything. Those kids are precious blessings from God, I am most grateful. There is nothing I will not do for them.
Another interesting video sis... 😊 So proud of you 🥰
Thanks as always, Jocelyn!
Filipina Pea you are AWESOME!! You are definitely a breath of fresh air. Keep it up!!
"..Some say they can make in on $500 a month.." Seems there are actually men who think they can retire in the Philippines in their 60's, marry a hot 22 year old Filipina, who doesn't want kids, and who will remain sexually faithful to them into their 80's and beyond, and live happily together on his $500 / month. Yeah that's TOTALLY REALISTIC, HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. And Pea since you're Filipina I must ask - Did you catch my sarcasm?
You mean you’re not serious? 😆
Fortunately, I really do get sarcasm (thank god) - it’s 80% of western humor!
Dear Sire
for your consideration:
#1 hundreds of milions in European Union lives with 450 USD monthly income
and they build families and try live decent life
#2 so "average filipina" should throw away foreigner (500 USD income)
and stay with fellow filipino (100 USD income)
#3 why so called "westerners" always complain that life below 1000 USD is not
a life, but goes to countries like PH as saviours and conquerors to hunting grounds
please beware, Conceit is Satan's beloved sin
Best wishes
@@TheFilipinaPea oh yes, and I call about my wi- fi very often to talk to a Filipino to teach them a little western culture.
Love these girls and if anyone other than a Filipino picks up I just make up mad and they hang up but I cannot understand anyone else other than a Filipino. 💘 😻 🙏
@@TheFilipinaPea 80% ? I always though our humor was 79.6% sarcasm.
Everyone's idea of "living well" varies. If you are really hooked on western goods they can get very costly. If you "go native" more frequently like ride jeepneys and shop at the markets as opposed to the malls it can be very cheap. AC/electric bills will likely be high too.
Pea, wise answers to the questions. Your comedy scene was so funny, I almost had to pee.
Hahahahaha Thanks TW!! I’ll keep ‘em coming!
You explain things well, humorous but humorous for us. I’m glad you’re explaining both sides so people don’t believe life is the same wherever you go.
Thanks Norberto!!!
Thanks for sharing this video clip, Pea. You're a wealth of pertinent information about living in the Phillipines... among other things. I truely appreciate and try my best to watch your other clips as much as possible. Best wishes, and. Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2022, Pea. 💖🌹
That bonus question made me face palm. Are people really that stupid?
Indeed they are, Matt, indeed they are ......
@@TheFilipinaPea Congrats Miss Pea, you have indeed mastered Western Sarcasm
there are people that stupid and worst .. the worst part is that people like that guy makes it harder for normal regular guy bs all of her female relatives and friends of the scamming filipina collect the false knowledge that most western men are that stupid . .. and some of them ( not all ) will seek and plot to get the same sweet deal as that lady got . I really do not even feel sorry for that dude ... bs no matter what advice he gets he will still continue to send her money ... when a guy is cursed with that level of stupidity most of the time he can NOT be saved .
Love makes people do stupid stuff. Like get married. An older man say 60+ coming here will find the option of a younger woman in his life, something that would never happen in the west. That idea can be EXTREMELY intoxicating and can cause as much stupidity as drinking three cases of whiskey in a month by yourself.
My gf was trafficked but escaped before anything happened. Very fortunate.
Sounds like you are the final buyer
Love her and have a good life
I be just salivating waiting on your next videos.
Another very good quality video Pea! Nice job!
The church is the last thing to decide. Whether or not to have kids
Your comment sounds like you are a non believer which is your choice. I'm sure you can find a partner who has a compatible view point.
Then why would you attached yourself to a partner that has a contradictory core belief? If you have no respect for their core belief(hypothetically) then it appears you have contempt for your partner (seamingly).
Why pursue such a partner? Is it to satisfy your ego? A power trip? Are you just out to use a partner? Or are you Chad (which i sincerely apologize for wasting both our time in replying)?
I would suggest if you hold contempt for believers you find a non believer to partner with, you both will be happy. As I would suggest that a believer find one to partner with for the same reason.
BTW no I am not catholic, I do believe but am not formally active beyond thying. So I have no dog in the fight to protect the church, their members are people not angels. Some are moral, most (as all groups are) are amoral and yes a few even immoral.
I have made myself very very clear to the "wife" that I don't want to make kids. For the simple selfish fact that I don't want to to raise a family and kids in my sixties and seventies. She is 34 and already has kids. But she won't go a week without bringing up the topic. For me it is a deal breaker and she knows that. As for the religion, I am an unrepentant agnostic and proud of it but it isn't an issue with her because she has a dim view of the church and religion as a whole. In two years I know her she has never been to church.
I shop mostly at palengke for meat and veges and fresh fruits. If I want an American steak the cheapest is at S&R. That said, if I can eat mostly "local" foods then it is pretty cheap. We eat out two or 3 times a week. My kuya has to have his burger king or mcdonalds fix about once a week. The local eateries are often very cheap. I can but lunch for 4 for about 3 or 4 dollars, lol.
I have been to the electronics and appliance stores at the malls and yes it is less bang for the buck there. Hot water heater (electric) are small and cost a fortune. you can get cheap electonics but you have to buy domestic, Pensonic, Crown Coby, Cherry Mobile etc.
But living with a local and doing the local lifestyle has taught me a lot, My plan is to buy property to eliminate the monthly housing cost and go from there. if all I have is utilities and living expenses I shouldn't have a problem.
I have been in the drinking water filtration and wastewater treatment trade here in the usa for over 30 years but lately have been playing around with solar and wind energy systems. I think my skills could $erve me well in the Philippines in "retirement".
Excellent presentation
And advice.
Another hit! Great job, Pea!
I found the part about humor very interesting. Also, since I love to eat beef and pork is there any way to get American style cut of meat. Such as by the cow and or pig and have it custom butchered?
Yup, there are local butchers who are happy to cut it any way you like it. Pork is relatively cheap, but good steak will cost ya!
But Australia has some good beef real good. But like anywhere you have to pay for that ribeye. Pea was right on that I have checked with many expats
One thing I love about the Philippines no microwave meals! Hopefully that never changes?
Then this is paradise for you!! 😆
i still plan to get a microwave to boil water and warm up leftovers. I don't buy microwave food now, but it still helps for those things.
Wealth of info, Pea....great video as always...thanks again...!
Awsome! the last question was very funny
I think one of the reason why foreign men who meet a Filipina and want to marry her don’t want to have children immediately is because of the large distance between their countries and the Difficulty of immigration as well as high cost of travel.
I personally didn’t want my Filipina girlfriend giving birth in the Philippines because I wasn’t 100% certain how difficult it would be to immigrate the child and her to America due to the fact that my president CHUMP right now is a racist and is doing his best to poison immigration policy as well as attack the 14th amendment about birthright citizenship.
If America really and Americans really were free I’d be able to marry anyone anywhere in the world and simply bring them back without being forced to pay a ridiculous amount of money to process them. It costs an American man between $3000 and $10,000 when all the legal fees and situations are settled.
That’s a lot of money for some.
My hope was to be able to immigrate my Filipina girlfriend first and then once she can work and is stable that we could plan a family. The way our immigration works is that you come here on a 90 day visa and we are forced to marry you within 90 days or you are forced to go home. During that time you cannot work and in many cases it can take more than a year for my new wife to get her green card which means that she has a financial burden on me until then. That’s ridiculous.
If she were to get pregnant and deliver in the Philippines and I am not living there I would have to wait a very long time to be able to bring her here. In the meantime should be forced to deal with the baby on her own or with her family in their province.
You always put such thought into your comments, BigTruck (most of which I always agree with)!
