I've been to a third of the countries on the planet and without and doubt or hesitation I would say that Filipinos are the happiest culture that there is. Nice place, and a great views.

Man, I’m not even comfortable looking at them giant spiders on video! The Filipinos relationship with nature is admirable for sure.

I can resonate with him. Home is where your heart is. I was born and raised in the Phils but lived in the UK longer than I have in the Phils. I also lived in Spain and Germany. I am ME....not a Filipino or British. I still have the Filipino in me in terms of being friendly, hospitable, kind, cheerful, caring....among other things, but then those traits are human traits anywhere in the world. It's just more ingrained or noticeable with Filipinos, in my opinion.😊

It's good to know that he feels comfortable living in our beloved country Philippines. Welcome to our country, I hope you enjoy staying here. Just be careful and don't trust too much. Sometimes people take advantage of you when you are too nice to them. In every country there's bad and good people. You seems very honest and good man and very respectful. Just be careful and take care always. Wish I have the chance to visit your place one day, I love the surroundings with so much plants around.

This was a great interview and a great video. The clip where the filipina was chasing the spider out of the house then letting it crawl on her arm creeped me out! I was screaming kill it, kill it! while she was trying to scoop it up in the house. I too like the outside insects to remain outside. Lol. Thank you for sharing.....

Nice interview, genuine guy. They only non-positive thing is short sided - live for now thing. That works until the "tomorrow" shows up. I seeing a lot more younger guys showing up on these channels. I understand work, jobs, bosses, time lost to work, sucks. They are forgetting, or choosing to ignore, the fact that your key earning years are that 30s to 60s. You are valued, you make bank. I see dudes in their late 50s and 60s now that are having to go back to full time real job work and it SUCKS. They can't get in at the level they were and certainly not at the level they would be had they stayed in the game. They are now getting pennies on the dollar for what they would have got had they trudged through a few more years.

I can't commit to retiring and living in the Philippines until after 2028 or so, as they will return to those insane lockdowns again interim and perhaps mandatory needles.

Had visited Dumaguete and Siquijor many times since 1991 back when there were no hotels, no vehicles and not even any electricity on the entire Siquijor island.

I'm a Filipino who's been in the US over 40 years and when I vacationed, I actually find it more expensive in Dumaguete to fill my gas tank. The electricity there is also more expensive than here in the US. Yes, the Filipino food is cheaper there but the American foods there are way overpriced. As always, service everywhere is very slow and the slowest is processing papers with the government sectors like making changes on birth certificates.. I went to different beaches (Dumahuete, Cebu, Palawan) and also sad to see that some tourists like Koreans just leave their garbage (including their baby's diaper) on the table and expect Filipino waiters to clean after them. I know that Western foreigners will not do that as they are more aware of the environment and have more respect to people. The Filipinos too, should really learn on how to keep their environment clean.

Because Filipinos are accustomed to a difficult life, one could argue that they are mentally tough. When compared to other races, Filipinos are incredibly patient. Have you ever seen a race that is troubled yet still manages to smile? The country's development may be impacted by the relaxed nature of Filipino culture, but ultimately, Filipinos lead the world in fortifying their will. That's why in the USA there are many people who commit suicide because the pace of life is so fast, and things are so expensive that they are almost chasing life. They appear to be very mature. They appear extremely mature, even though they are just in their late 20s or early 30s. Lord truly is an expert at striking a balance.

@Alexkosh -- Historically, countries that have 4 seasons with short days and harsh winters, the people tend to have "hunter gatherer" type mentality. Chores that need to be done before the winter sets in, are done in a timely manner, because their survival depends on it. In the Philippines and other countries that don't have harsh winters, time management is much more lax. In fact, because excess heat can cause illness, the people conserve their energy or risk getting sick. Of course, now-a- days we can buy supplies out of season in an emergency, but it takes more money to do that. And not everyone can afford to live that way, all the time.

If there is anyway for me to contact him, it would be greatly appreciated as I would love to pick his brain. Thanks. -Doug

He just shared his story; he wasn't trying to prove anything. He doesn't have problems with the internet there. Only one time in a half year, since he had this apartment, there wasn't a connection. It's true that there could be power outages, and for that case, he has a portable power source (cost for $50) to plug in the router. Starlink is available in the Philippines, which can solve all issues, even in remote places. And you're right that the Philippines is getting more expensive, as are other countries like the US and EU.

It is not less stress for locals. Only foreigners who have enough retirement money and stay out the drama. For the rest, it is pretty much like anywhere else. In big cities like Manila, poor people stress about daily living, rich people stress about more money and more power. In small cities and particularly rural areas, yes there is less stress, but as I said u guess that's the case for most rural areas around the world.

How much is the monthly rental that he is paying to the Canadian landlord? Good that the landlord allowed him to sublease this house?

Six figures as in 100k is becoming minimum wage is some metropolis, the cost of living is so high. But it helps if the two of you agree on a budget. Otherwise maybe convince her to invest in an asset, like a house with a mortgage then when you get paid, there will be something urgent to do with the money, ie paying down that mortgage. And maybe over max up on those retirement funds,.ie the point being to reduce 'disposable income' cause it is easy or tempting to spend when one has cash sitting around
