WHY do Foreigners GIVE Everything to the Philippines? 🇵🇭

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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.

    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

    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.

With that, you're helping my country's economy.

    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!
