WHY do Foreigners GIVE Everything to the Philippines? 🇵🇭
Vložit

- It's a question we've also asked ourselves. Why do foreigners choose to give their everything to the Philippines. Why do we stay here and invest our lives, our finances and our skills to this place?
Today we head to the north to see another example of this, an eco cafe and eco shop set up by our friend Sanne from @NatureKidsofSiargao . We are creating the Vegan snacks for their menu and it's so incredible to see what was once just a dream for Sanne turn into another reality.
We think that the reason for foreign settlers wanting to give their all, is down to finding meaningful purpose in life. It's more valuable than the money itself. That's why we choose to stay.

if you see what is happening in london now. with all the riots happening in the street. you probably choose to live in a peaceful place like siargao.🌹🙏😇
The call of The Philippines gets louder and louder for me. Visited a lot of SE Asia already so…😊
True, you live your lives there but it is a two way street. You earn your living by showing your daily lives in the country, as so many foreigner bloggers do now and live off it. The country has contributed a lot to your blogs when you show the natural beauty of the land and the people which is so much to show around the world. The Filipinos in general are so friendly to bloggers which is not the case with many countries. The country makes you feel well and the people find your family obviously charming. A give and take on both sides, you do not do all the giving, you take also.
Correct, and it's in one of the Philippines' islands not the entire country. An island where most Filipinos can't relate much.
Filipinos are in general are open, hospitable , trusting, eager to learn, ready to share.
Sharing your life daily and showing us a glimpse of what we call paradise is amazing. Thank you❤❤❤
Foreigners give back to Philippines, because they feel at home. Foreigners are treated well in the Philippines, so they also give back to the community
It also feel good to give back or help people in general, no matter what country.
Recycling Station is one of my wishes to have in Leyte in our Barangay.
Every Barangay should have an initiative like that I think
@@8milesfromhome Watch FEATR's new video about Bayawan City! Might be possible to apply in Siargao
beautiful as always! The recycling center and eco Cafe are looking amazing!
Hello from USA
Ive been visiting the Pi for 15 years
Married to a Filipina
We were considering 50/50 USA and the Philippines
Retiring, working pt while stateside next 2 years,
But now im very much thinking cashing out of the rat race and 100% moving to Mindinao , simple life.
I agree with you relating to whats important as you get older,
We only live once and should focus on our earthly experiences
And do what makes us as individuals feel happy and harmonious
Looking forward to it
Great channel
RP or PH not PI. Do not use PI in the Philippines.
Hey a shout out from Sri Lanka, happy to be amongst the first few to watch you❤😂
As per Philippine Ports Authority they will build international port in Siargao to be able international cruise lines can dock at Siargao. But the downside it may create high prices of the commidities there 🇵🇭👍
They actually have one video about that.
Philippines has everything to offer that is why foreigners love it .❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Wow! I love your message about life being more about experiences than things. Amen! I would love to visit this area someday, and if so I would love to see the Echo Shop. What a wonderful shop.
Thanks for sharing this and especially to the lesson i learned from you, “Meaningful purpose “.
Lovely beach and weather, beautiful family, such amazing sight to behold!...so good to see you trying on some of the Filipino delicacies /food that we've loved.❤
Peanut butter cup looks delicious!❤
They are ☺️
Poppy listens to Mummy Sach than Dad Jay

16:20 Very well said!! Bravo! Others believe the purpose of life is to serve God and do his will. Others are agnostic like Jay and atheist like Sacha. Connection with people and nature. It's a wonderful life!
Did they say that?
😆😆savage.
With You Guys and other foreignoy’s,Island 🏝️ life make it more eco friendly
and colorful…and Filipino learning to used recycling things or even clothes.
Beautiful beach,wow! 😍wish I could live there.
Story growing up so pretty and very nice manners. The she talk very mature. I love her.
I'm jealous where you live. I would love to retire there someday, hopefully I can find a rental like yours, by the beach. I so love your location, so fortunate and blessed.
Calamansi juice is one of my favorite juice & its rich in vitamin C
Thanks for your vlog & shall wait your vlog on Recycling Station 👍
There are numerous reasons, promote the Philippines or a region; escape from their original life; fresh start; issues from their birth country; fell in love with the Philippines; many Europeans like a warmer climate.
Puppy is soo protective on her sister ❤love it
I would love to try Sacha's peanut butter cups! 😭
Hopefully when I visit Siargao Island

Poppy takes off like a speed boat😅
Puppy's got an amazing speed🤩 🐕
She’s still fastest of the dogs here ☺️
hello Sasha, jay,and storey,,such a lovely day for ur family,living in siargao,a place to live in..enjoy a day..
Looks like a nice daily life. I am sure there are hard days as well but probably not as crazy as the UK
You're all looking extra good for today's video! Or in Filipino words, "blooming kayo", specially Sacha ❤.
Do you have private health insurance? When you are married to a Filipino, that balance sheet has to keep her alive when her foreign husband dies, This why so many Filipinos die young if they have no children to support them, or their foreign husband has spent the money, what now will she live on? This is the Philippines. For the westerner, it's cheap in the Philippines to live, except your medical bills. "There is nothing new under the sun". If you have money, the earth is your honey. Every one has their own worries.
Story is a little Shiela born on an island, raised by the sea. The sea calls to her, what a sweet soul.
She got a lot of products and they great wish can order esp.the coun purse
You need to bring or use your umbrella each time you head out walking outside or strolling at the beach.
11:05 Lovely weather!! Is it getting colder and nippy in Siargao now?
Sometimes you can find a beautiful thing's that made by nature at the sea shore , just pick it up and bring it on ❤❤❤
Because u get to experience with whats real freedom means about ....n friends
great video and life lessons...thank u for sharing.
Hi guys and Story 🥰 i was just wondering and im sure that is the case but i find it unusual That they're taking in laundry And having coffee in the same area like the coffee and laundry are back there all together. Yummy!😅 Well let's hope not. Let's hope they take the laundry in at a different space and it's not near the food and coffee 😅lol Anyway, story is super smart. She's Way beyond children Of the same age. She's beyond children above her age because you guys really work with her, and its wonderful 💕but you know when she forgets something sometimes which is probably not often dont be so intense When she makes a mistake like I wouldn't do that. You make her feel !???? for one little mistake for speaking the wrong word like that's going to affect her,!! Making a child smart is one thing .but trying to push them so hard. To be an adult is another thing !! and then getting annoyed when she doesn't say the right thing every minute.😢 Just an FYI
Beautiful Siargao...Love the Philippines ❤
Lovely
You know here in Sweden they recycle everything. It is good for our environment.
Oh Sasha's dad went back ....thought he will stay longer
Peanut butter cup looks good. ❤ Love the eco store can we order online?
Just curious, wouldnt vegetarianism be a more balanced diet?
Local tourists can help on this recycling endeavor by patronizing the products
Nice🎉
Oh beautiful sea
15:26 it has to be important ... how big your balance sheet depends where you live. Frankly, in comparison to others my balance sheet might be big, but the cost of living (basics) is quite high and frankly not many people have the flexibility to move because of their jobs and family responsibilities/obligations. You try to make due with creating meaningful moments as one keeps going to work daily to make a living and to sustain the basic needs. I understand your philosophy but you seem to be out of touch and you frankly speak from a privileged position.
They choose to live in Siargao and indeed he is privileged but he wasn't preaching you to get out where you are.
@@jemimamey6676 he sure implied it to his audience. But sure he has his opinion, I have my opinion and you have yours.
Why not consider establishing your own enterprise in that area, such as boutique hostels and a vegan restaurant? Additionally, you could employ local individuals, thereby creating employment opportunities and contributing to the financial well-being of the less fortunate members of the community. With that, you're helping my country's economy.
Hello
I plan to visit that place soon and maybe duplicate the project in my province.
Love this!!!
Good morning 8MFH
Nice Jay and Sacha you are producing now your peanut butter?
I like your comments! I agree with U that life is an experience and journey! It's Not about the money anymore! One that Philippines wants is that Foreigners are all welcome to stay but the land shld be given back to Filipinos, Once the 25 yrs. and more is UP? Unlike America, Foreigners can invest, own a land and etc. This is why, more and more Americans, who lives here in USA, can't afford to buy their property! Due to the competition from Foreigners bidding on the Land, which drove the housing prices higher! Most of us here in USA, can't afford the Housing Mkt., that Foreigners are bidding for! Especially Chinese, citizens, came here and buying all properties and leasing it to Americans! This is Unfair! These foreigners (Chinese) owned all of the apartments, Buildings, Land and etc. Now, we Americans can't buy a piece of Land! 'Coz it's owned by Chinese people that don't even stay in this Country! Americans R Renting/Leasing houses/Apts. from these Foreigners!
Anyway, as U have said, Money is Not Everything but Experiences and journey thru Life! Hope someday, we can go back to Philippines, my motherland! 'coz it's getting harder there in US!
13:01 is a wallpaper ❤

Scotland and our family 🎉
You will earn less here though the cost of living is much less too. If you have an internet based job it will be good. or if you just want to retire, it will be good as well.
@@user-ib2lh4wl4j thanks much appreciated for your reply 🙏🏴
And making a foot print on the earth is also important and u r doing that at a younger age
Meaningful purpose 😌
