![Chris Langan - The Interview THEY Didn't Want You To See - CTMU [Full Version; Timestamps]](/img/1.gif)
No wonder you don't have many views your videos just ramble.. nothing really new or interesting
I lived there and bought most of my food from the outside market..
I never got sick..The vegetables and fruit in the Province are so fresh and taste good.
I can almost live local but I dont..
I like AC..Hot water.. wifi ..water pressure booster..dating.
I like traveling to other islands.
I think a lot of people would agree with you!
Speak for yourself. I paid good money to a practitioner who told me these life changing words: "Ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bang bang."
Hehehe
I don't understand.

That’s old as the hills but still funny as shit
Lot of local alergens in Philippians are grass pollens,molds and the laundry soaps especially ones with scented fabric sofiners. I keep benadryle and Ivamecticin around drink silver and nasic iodine drops in my water.
Thanks for sharing Robert
Have chickens running in out the house, karaoke till 2 am and stray dogs, then you a local
Don't fool yourself to think that Filipinos are only living on 300 dollars a month. In the philippines, they have a communal or tribal living arrangement, and there may be several people in the compound making this every month. Perhaps one person is making 200 to 300 a month, but they all pitch in and live rather well for what you may be seeing. They also have relatives living outside of the compound who have gardens and work out in the fields who also contribute to the monthly food consumption.
Wow, thanks for sharing!
I finally traveled to the Philippines and my eyes were wide open to the dangers of not being close to a major hospital. Any expat 50 or above is pushing fate in a country where it could take hours to get to a hospital and another two hours to be seen by a Dr. This is the major reason I will never relocate to this incredibly beautiful country. Far too many issues exist such as dangerous traffic, unpredictable weather, dengue, and infrastructure.
These are all great reasons, thank you for sharing gowithin9451
@gowithin9151- You are so right. I have stated in comments many times, "be okay with dying if you live in less developed countries". I will add that most people that comment here will say that the health care system is good. The problem with this is that these people are not medically trained people, and I am.
This is a major risk, thank you for your honesty John
@@JohnSmith-ti2kp you can see lots of old expats drinking and smoking all day and all night long in dumaguete Boulevard... But seldom expats can be seen doing morning exercises in Boulevard..😮 These drunkards were the ones keep complaining on poor Philippine health care system.. 😤
@@JohnSmith-ti2kp Thank you for the reply
Nice to finally get around this video after seeing you in two different livestreams today. Didn't know you were a Timothy Ward subscriber! I definitely cannot live like the locals with hemophilia. I need close proximity to hospitals in Cebu, Davao, and Metro Manila.
If I go back to my Catholic faith, then I will need to give up anime and Kpop for Lent:D
Thanks so much Chris :) I agree with you on the proximity to hospitals. I'm thinking about to heading to a larger city in the future myself.
Eastern you’re a good blogger, I see success for you, very interesting and good information
Thanks so much! I’m glad you found it interesting!
As a 24 year Army veteran, I’ve lived in some very harsh environments. There is no way I’m returning to such a life. No more field baths for me.
I haven't lived like a local in the US. No reason I'll live like a local in another country.
I live in Phoenix US. My total spend averaged $592.04/mo the past 21 months. My own has appreciated $2000/mo averaged the past 15 years. I don't use toilet paper...yeah I tabo it with some modifications. Clean butt, priceless. I pee in a bucket and spread it in my landscape. On and on.
Plan to move to SE Asia next year. Everything will flip. I expect to spend $3000-4000/mo with a $5800/mo budget and plenty saved for medical.
You will be like a rock star ⭐️
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Good luck I live a average western middle class lifestyle on Puerto Princesa I spend US $7000 a month.
The thing is the “local” way of living is the gateway threshold. If ones can bring a low-medium income from a western country, and go live in SEA, the day to day “local” norm is so inexpensive, so why not use the rest of your income to live a lifestyle you never could afford back home? You’re putting money back into the local economy. I don’t see the issue
Thanks for watching!
Makes sense, you see them come to western countries and retain their previous methods of living/ideologies from their home countries.
I spend $7000 US a month on Puerto Princesa for middle class life. Pocket change. No worries.
That sounds like a comfortable life!
In a place like the Philippines, trying to "live like a local" does come with some risks. There's the street food option and the tap water issue. In addition, have you seen some of the local style homes....including how the electrical is installed/setup? It's a fire hazard in the making. How about those hollow block walls that have settled and are cracking? You really want to put your trust in that to support the roof over your head? The locals live like this not because they want to, its all they can realistically afford. I suppose a foreigner who chooses to live like that either enjoys "roughing it" or failed to adequately prepare themselves financially for retirement.
An informing video Alex, ty. "Resident expat apologist".......Bwuahahahah. I guess you're residing in our devices. I've never heard of giving up video games for Lent! Now THAT'S a sacrifice! I will 'soon' be giving up my Hawaiian residence, not because I want to, I certainly do not, but because I refuse to pay insurance company extortion. Insurance costs are the culprit in raising 1) my personal insurance rates, and 2) huge increases in my HOA fees/month. Up 80% since 2020. That's not what I signed up for. I can pay it, but I refuse to allocate what amounts to a gargantuan percentage of my income to paying insurance companies. There are alternatives.
Thank you so much for your insightful comment! I agree it’s important to have alternatives and be prepared for the unexpected.
The food the water you need to be careful. Especially the food that you eat. Thanks for this video have a great day Alex.
I agree, thanks so much Manila :)
I have to disagree with you, brother when it comes to modern medicine.
Yes, there are great advances when it comes to treating traumatic injuries or certain medical procedures operations, but the petrochemical allopathic “sick care” society that we live here in the west is 💩
In my opinion, medical doctors, are the drug pushers for the pharmaceutical cartels. No profiting from the cured.

Thank you Michael :)
Great video!
Thank you so much for watching!
Do you have more powdered Rhino horn? I need some!
Hahaha thank you
Men's room door's an odd backdrop to a video.
Do you need to go?
I understand your points and agree. But isn't moving to a different country to adapt and be part of the society there. When people take their life from the west and dump it in the Philippines that's was its so expensive. Versus when people adapt to the Philippines they spend way less
I agree, I think there's probably a healthy middle ground for most people
@EasternDreamer615 true it sounds like your idea of locals Is people deep in the province who do not have much. There are locals living better than foreigners in the Philippines.
I'd be happy to interview them if they're open
@EasternDreamer615 you won't find them in Duma, that's for sure. Anyways I wanted to give my thoughts because I am from a developing country like the Philippines, it's the same there are locals living there better than foreigners. Didn't mean it in a negative way I enjoy your content. Just wanted you to see the other side
I live in hot, tropical.Brazil without air con. I keep a large fan pointed directly at me day and night. Air con is expensive and bad for tne environment.
Thanks for the tip!
Why there is no aircon? Provide yourself with aircon if you are not comfortable working without it.
Did you unironically and eagerly get the non-clinically trialed quackxine and boosters?
Did you?
No, I was inoculated by the mRNA based Moderna vaccine, and boosters. mRNA technology had been under development for decades prior to the pandemic.
