Unfortunately, only foreigners find it cheap to live in the Philippines bc wages in the Philippines are quite low :(( that's why a lot of Filipino families have family members working abroad to live better lives bc you can never have that in the Philippines for a minimum wage. This is the reality for Filipinos.

I've watched someone from the US being interviewed and he said that he is homeless in the US because his pension can't afford the rent there, while here, he can have semi furnished 1 room apartment for $200. So he lives decently here. Not extravagant but he is living and not just surviving.
@ChrisSauer-oe5ve I am sorry, but you are absolutely wrong and do not know what you are talking about. The facts are that an apartment in San Diego costs $1700 a month and an apartment in an Arkansas small town costs $550 a month. A person on a pension can live very comfortably in Arkansas while setting money aside in the bank every month. If you were smart, you would research your data before trying to respond to my comment.
I am a disabled veteran living in the Philippines. It's true that stuff is cheaper but what about quality of life? I have a nice home and eat good but have no life, no friends and am more lonely than I've ever been. I can't wait to move back to the USA. I will struggle but at least I will have friends and a social life. Nothing matters when you're miserable. Philippines is a very lonely and sad country
Not true, police captain, doctors, small business owners all make pesos and they live very well! Also seamen as well my brother in law is a Seaman and he pays 20,000 Php a month for his pick up truck. That’s more than many Americans can afford.
Its dirt cheap if you're using basic foreign money to live in the Phils. Im also an expat and even an american earning $50k annually will live a comfortable life in the Phils. As a half filipino its nice as a vacation spot but if you really want the TRUE Philippine life then try to visit the poverty parts of the Philippines which is most of the country. Or try driving around quezon city, metro manila traffic. The bad part about these types of posts is they only show the tourist lifestyle(beach, vacation, trips, drinking, party) and not what REAL life is in this country.
It's so true. I'm from Nicaragua but I lived in Miami Beach for 20 years. When I visited Manila on a business trip for two weeks, I just didn't want to come back.
@paranoya733 If by teen you mean over 18, yeah occasionally. Personally I've never seen it. 40yr old like Tim K marrying a 19yr old does happen rarely. 70's guys dating 18 yr Olds? Never seen it. When I go to the mall and see expats, 90% have older wives/GF. Maybe 10 years of difference. Im 63 and my Filipina is 41. That's a bigger gap than I normally see. Frankly I was surprised by all this because there are some bloggers that thrive on the hot young Filipina thing, but they are the outliers. My response was based on that, as I took it to understand you think the only reason to be here is to get a teenager, even under 18. In some provinces that will get you seriously injured as well as incarcerated for years b4 you even see a judge let alone go to trial. Are there sexpats here only looking for young legal age girls? Sure but you could say the same for famous Hollyweird actors where 30-50 year age gaps are celebrated by the same people that condemn all "Passport Bros" as Pedophiles or at least creepy. Have a blessed day.
I use to Travel alot to Philippines, lots of things were close to US prices, one of the most beautiful places for sure and the people were great, it was sad that most the family's I saw struggling to make it day by day.
Pro Tip: treat the local nicely. If you are in the good mood, smile to them, do the reverse head nod thingy (I dont know what its called in english 😂) to the Male residents as a form of what's up. You'll be surprise with the occasional meals brought to your door (especially in close small community). Consider returning the favor as much as you can, maybe prepare a meal unique from your home town to keep it consistent. Not only you get a taste of fresh home cooked meals, it'll create a familial bond with your new neighbors which is always a good thing.
Lokal tip justt treat us like human beings, and you're good. One more if you're hooking up with a dame, make sure she's not attached, that's an easy way to meet Jesus, and be a news sensation of the very bad kind.
A sense of community is a great thing to share, but after covid it seems that americans have lost their social skills, especially now that consumerism has taken over and everyone is chasing more money. I want to get my passport asap ❤️💜🩵 Jrod

I have lived all over the Philippines for 10+years and it's very difficult to find nice houses to rent near the beach. Most beach communities have rustic huts in pretty bad condition, so new construction on the beach to rent is far and few between. Plus once you leave the towns and enter the rural areas, the insects are on another level, by 6pm you will need to be under a net. In the larger towns and cities there's more of a selection, but for a nice 3 bedroom house or apartment, it will cost $1000+
Just curious do you still live in the Philippines, my wife is from the Philippines and we are living in Illinois but plan on moving back, maybe to cebu. Not sure yet. But I would like to find a place there that is affordable living and American friendly if you have any suggestions let me no
@@investigator6203 American-friendly lol... We've been under your colony for 50 years until the 40's and have bases on our islands, I think we've been extra friendly already. As a Cebuano who lives in the US, you white guys always live in anxiety, while we live in resilience and smiles
For english speakers Philippines is really the right choice. As even kids can speak the language ❤. I can say no language barrier 🥰 As a foreigner I have been into asian countries but Philippines is the easiest one to communicate with plus the foods are so good 💃
I’m from PH, thanks for your kind compliment! We have various beautiful destinations. If only people know how beautiful our country is -- not talking about politics and other things but travel destination-wise, it’s a must! I recommend El nido, Boracay, Cebu and Siargao! ❤
I was in the Philippines last month and had an amazing time and I plan on returning to the Philippines in December I recommend taking a trip to the Philippines you will see some amazing things
@@annaalcyone6469it all depends on what you ate looking for and $$$. There are plenty of Philippines travel channels so you can get a variety of ideas and decern what's best for you so you won't feel misled by videos like this one. You will enjoy it here better. Best of luck.
Please, don't. There's so many of you old white people already here. Go to Thailand, the land of lady boys and lady boy lovers. It's more of your style.
You know what I like after having traveled the world? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich at my dining room table and reading a book in my mortgage paid home. I don't want to drink and party and realize I never really have. In addition, the most beautiful thing I ever saw was in the US--the Northern Lights--until I saw the faces of my newborn childten. Being old and still healthy is the greatest gift, not a $3 drink on a smelly beach.
Mortgage paid home? That's becoming more difficult in the US. With property taxes, insurance and repair costs (not to mention the mortgage) the monthly expenses are insane now.
@@SomeUserNameBlahBlahnotice he said "mortgage paid home"? That's because if you're paying property, local, school taxes you never really own it outright. Try not paying those for a few years and see how well that works out for you.😢 😂
Philippines is the nicest country in the world. Friendly, good, English- speaking, beautiful, hospitable, thrifty, humble, law- abiding, smart, peaceful, godly people. You can live her a lifetime at low cost with many Christian churches.
None of that is true.for someone that goes to church you should read that good book a little more. last time I check lying was a sin. Crime rate is higher in the Philippines than in the US. Medical is worse. The education system is worse. Almost 10% of the population is Muslim vs the US of 1%. seriously it's not better than the US in any way.
I don’t know about best in the world as it’s not for everyone. It’s still a developing country so the low cost of living comes with sacrifices vs developed nations.
@@Ashtor1337crime is higher in usa though... About Muslims, you should go to Indonesia, I'm sure you would change your mind. For philippines, friendly? 30%Filipino don't any foreigners in their neighborhood, it was 60%during duterte s era. And there s only 5M tourists a year and 78.000 expats/migrants. 😮
I am vacationing in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur right now. Right on the beach. Great fresh fish and fresh fruit. People are super nice and friendly. I can't imagine how life could be any better. Eat swim sleep, repeat.
@Radio280 I stayed in an Airbnb that I can't recommend. I can tell you that many places are not up to western standards. If you are ok with filipino standards, you will be fine though.
And they speak English pretty well, which helps a lot because most people don’t know anything about Tagalog. They are excellent people. Extremely receptive and kind.
well,if these knuckleheads or uneducated voters won't keep voting these stupid corrupt politicians & their super corrupt political dynasties then the philippine economy probably will be like singapore,taiwan,sokor,malaysia & japan ...... 😂🤣😂🤣-🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Cebu is actually not all that, imo. If you are an American, get ready to treat EVERYONE to meals. Even Filipinos working abroad who come back to the Philippines for a visit are expected to treat family and friends to meals out consistently.
Every time I come home to visit my family, I clearly tell them not to post on fb about my vacation. Just go out with your family, no need to announce it with your friends or your relatives! Lol 😂
Maybe they need to change their expectations- By the time a American or Filipino buys a ticket to PI, Rents a hotel room for 30 days , goes sightseeing, must eat out everyday, buys some local goods, tips everyone good, they are out 2-4000 depending on their lifestyle. Then we are expected to buy meals for everyone? F that! They have IPhone and not a less expensive model- There are 50-60 family members because they don’t use birth control or common sense- I am not talking about just Pi- it is common throughout SEA. Just wait until this big recession hits - or this fiat currency crisis hits home- And it will happen-
I guess you're not familiar with Filipino tradition. It's customary when going out or drinking that the person who makes the more buys for everyone. If you want to avoid that just let everyone know ahead of time.
@@DaveEPieNope, it's Filipino tradition that the one who makes the most pays for dinner and drinks. Americans make more than Filipino celebrities so they are going to see you a paying for it. If you want to avoid that just tell them ahead of time, they won't be made. By the way I got a Philippines for 3 weeks and spent less than $2000 for me and my girlfriend.
Stop inviting more foreigners to our country. I am certain many of you are here to fight your war with our neighbors. Don't use my country as venue towards a Ukraine-like war that has nothing to do with us. Get out!
@@concretejungle8916If you’ve got a decent amount of money saved up and have some basic income (equivalent to US minimum wage) then you’ll live well in the Philippines. Try that in the US. Not gonna happen unless you live with your parents or have a bunch of roommates. 😂😂😂
Just a reminder why things are cheap compared to the US is because of the unequal exchange rate. If you're earning a western income, even at minimum wage, you're pretty much set for life here. The same cannot be said for ordinary Filipino workers. We wish to have the same western income as you guys, but that would upset this delicate economy and cause prices to rise up quickly (as the last price hike wasn't bad enough)
Im from Philippines, and moved to Canada 20 years ago, and came back to my home town Cebu 20 years later, I would say depending on your lifestyle how you spend in Philippines, it is not cheap there anymore. Good luck.
Yup! You want cheap? Just like anywhere else in the world, you have to go to the Provence were there isn't much available. I'm in Initao and there is a 1/2 acre residential beach front lot sandwiched between noisy low level resorts. The asking is $3 million USD. I Went on Zillow and found lake front US properties for less with more land and beach front for same. The Chinese came in and bought up everything in sight at top dollar and now every Phillipino thinks his little untitled lot will make him Manny Pacquiao level rich!
So saddening... But peso kept on dropping, - 20%in 3 years, for Americans and Europeans that's a blessing but for Filipinos, is another painful slap. Philippines imports too much, even rice, sugar and onions,... All raised by 20%.
I'm glad you posted this clip. I am glad you all are having a great time and enjoying life. Much luv. Anyway let me inform people before they decide to live there without planning. Because they look at videos and clips like this. Yes, the Philippines is very affordable. A lot of expats move there. But you need to plan well prior to moving there. There are too many expats out there broke and homeless. They don't even have enough money to leave the country. All because they assumed it was very cheap. So they went out there with a certain amount of money thinking it was sufficient. Nope. Another thing he forgot to mention. You can't own a house unless you are married to a Filipino citizen. You can own a condo. However, it needs to be occupied by certain percentage of Filipinos. I know this because I'm married to a Filipina and I have two kids there. I'm glad they are promoting the Philippines. Majority of the places are beautiful. Most of the people are very kind. Most of the stuff out there are cheap. But not everything. In comparison to the US and other countries. Yes! If you decide to move there. Have a plan and enough money. You will definitely be fine with a pension. Enjoy the beautiful country. One last thing. Pretty much everything is in English. Most of the people speak English. It is taught in schools. It's one of the national languages. Although there are at least 180+ dialects spoken there.
Regarding condo ownership, to clarify, does the condo building have to have a certain percentage of philippinos or does YOUR condo have to have philiooinos? I Think I know the answer but better to ask. Also how is it bringing in pets to the Philippines to live with you (cat's and dogs) limits? Any info would help thank you.
@@stevenkaskus6173The condo ownership of Filipinos is 60% Ownership of Condominium Units: The Philippine Condominium Act (Republic Act No. 4726) allows foreigners, including former Filipinos who have acquired foreign citizenship, to own condominium units in the Philippines. The law stipulates that foreigners can own up to 40% of the total and outstanding capital stock of a condominium corporation. In other words, a foreign individual or a former Filipino citizen who is now a foreign national can own a condominium unit as long as the total foreign ownership in the condominium corporation does not exceed 40%. I don't know too much about pet requirements. This is what I found. It's a .gov site. Apparently CZcams isn't allowing me to attach the link.

I travelled all around that area. Look at Samal Island or Tagum. They're close enough to commute to Davao city. Samal if you want the laidback island life or Tagum if you want a more artsy smaller city life. Panabo between Davao and Tagum is good if you want a Filipino suburban life.
Guys, these young people that move to say the Philippines, are IT/Tech people. They typically work remotely for American companys that pay your typical american wage.
Yeah but visit longer than 2 weeks and don't commit to any one place. Remember, the biggest mistake retirees who decide to retire where they vacation is they think every day will be a vacation day. Never works that way. Do lots of research via expats u tube channels and don't burn your US bridges until you've found a place here you are comfortable with and spent a year or more. I believe every expat here would give the same advice. Good luck!
@@jaylordzeusdelica64 Define comfortably? But yes you can live there easily for $1000 if your not doing things you shouldn't be doing that cost much more. I make $4000 on my VA pension and I live like a king with money left over...but you should first visit there several times a year for 30 days or so a trip to make a decision. Most things are cheap, but things like electricity to run your AC (which you WILL need) are not.
@@repaid1 but live like a king with $4000 from the VA where in the USA or the Philippines? Because that's what I get from the VA too..might as well live in the Philippines regardless few things are expensive, in the Philippines there are no mass shootings, there are no people smoking drugs in public, expenses are nothing compared to the US, super cheap to live in the Philippines, just for the fact that you pay $200 per month for an apartment or a small house is worth to live in the Philippines!
the most ideal would be to earn a pension from abroad THEN retire in the Philippines with foreign currency as pension. that way, you enjoy a decent life while helping the economy by bringing in foreign currency.
I just hope these people moving in respect the country, the locals and their culture. And that they don’t take away the business opportunities of the locals (as some areas have had that happen).
Try visiting ILOILO CITY, it's the Philippines' best-kept-secret. It's the Cleanest and Most Beautiful City in the Philippines. It's more beautiful than Cebu. White sand beaches are in Guimaras Island, 20 minutes away by fastcraft boat. Boracay is a pleasant 5-hour air-conditioned bus from ILOILO. Most Bike-Friendly City in the Philippines, too. Iloilo has got everything you would ever need to continue living the convenient western way of life that you have been comfortable with in your country. If you are a fitness enthusiast, Iloilo is your happy place. It is fit the best well-maintained parks, plazas, public flower gardens, and extensive riverside and creekside Esplanades with endless jogging and strolling paths, flowerbeds, fragrant flowering trees, royal palm trees, shrubbery, colorful bougainvilleas, and fragrant vines in trellises.

I miss the Philippines. The sun, the beaches, the people, the food (very western with asian influence, but filipino food has it’s own twist.), the laidback air, the contrast between cities and provinces (yet most place have a the convenience of modern life unless you are at a very far flung place)
Ive traveled to various parts of the PI on several occasions for work(shipboard welder). Its an awesome place. The people are very friendly and accommodating. Great food. Definitely cheap.
if you have a pension or a business back in the USA, you're good. but if you live in the PH and have to work here, the salary is from 10 dollars to 20 dollars per day.
Which is a great supplement. Would be great if foreigners could supplement their income with a job. Social security only gives some 700 a month. It’s livable in the Philippines not in the USA.
No bro, still working for USA company, get pay $ from their country & pay tax for their country. Worst case, work for local company's, get pay international rate but not pay local tax. Atleast their brings money to spend😅

Hey Jon, I enjoyed the video and discussion. For me, riding is just about getting out on my own for a bit, and enjoying the countryside. I usually like to try and get "lost" just taking random turns and discovering different roads and areas. Often times, I find myself on a mix of quiet blacktop and dirt, sand and gravel. I don't hesitate to go anywhere on the KLR, although deep sand makes me nervous. (Some roads can turn loose and "fluffy" in spots) ...I carry a collapsible rod and gear in my trunk if I feel like casting a line for a bit at the many swamp creeks and channels that network through my area. ***missed seeing an upload from you yesterday....I hope all is well?

To those people who bashed and criticized my country it's true that poverty are all around but still Filipinos lived in a simple way and still can afford to smile and strive to be happy and contented of what they have as long as they earned their living in a descent way.
Where the so called cheap amenities are cheap enough for the dollars to come in but astronomically expensive for the ordinary Juan Dela Cruz (Filipino) to come anywhere near. Sadly, even the builders (masons and carpenters) who once built and tirelessly labored for those establishments are not allowed or able to enjoy the benefits of the work of their hands 🥺😭
Almost everything will look affordable if you come from a country with strong currency
Point on!!!
Except the electronics like televisions. 55" is more in Philippines at the stores I was at.

Frankly I was surprised by all this because there are some bloggers that thrive on the hot young Filipina thing, but they are the outliers.
My response was based on that, as I took it to understand you think the only reason to be here is to get a teenager, even under 18. In some provinces that will get you seriously injured as well as incarcerated for years b4 you even see a judge let alone go to trial.
Are there sexpats here only looking for young legal age girls? Sure but you could say the same for famous Hollyweird actors where 30-50 year age gaps are celebrated by the same people that condemn all "Passport Bros" as Pedophiles or at least creepy.

Lokal tip justt treat us like human beings, and you're good. One more if you're hooking up with a dame, make sure she's not attached, that's an easy way to meet Jesus, and be a news sensation of the very bad kind.

Tell all your friends to migrate here too. And even better, invest here like what the BPOs are doing.
A sense of community is a great thing to share, but after covid it seems that americans have lost their social skills, especially now that consumerism has taken over and everyone is chasing more money.

I have lived all over the Philippines for 10+years and it's very difficult to find nice houses to rent near the beach. Most beach communities have rustic huts in pretty bad condition, so new construction on the beach to rent is far and few between.
Plus once you leave the towns and enter the rural areas, the insects are on another level, by 6pm you will need to be under a net.
In the larger towns and cities there's more of a selection, but for a nice 3 bedroom house or apartment, it will cost $1000+
Just curious do you still live in the Philippines, my wife is from the Philippines and we are living in Illinois but plan on moving back, maybe to cebu. Not sure yet. But I would like to find a place there that is affordable living and American friendly if you have any suggestions let me no
What about the Civil war and jihadis , forgot to mention that
Civil war and jihadis? Where?
@@investigator6203 American-friendly lol... We've been under your colony for 50 years until the 40's and have bases on our islands, I think we've been extra friendly already. As a Cebuano who lives in the US, you white guys always live in anxiety, while we live in resilience and smiles

For english speakers Philippines is really the right choice. As even kids can speak the language ❤. I can say no language barrier 🥰 As a foreigner I have been into asian countries but Philippines is the easiest one to communicate with plus the foods are so good 💃
I’m from PH, thanks for your kind compliment! We have various beautiful destinations. If only people know how beautiful our country is -- not talking about politics and other things but travel destination-wise, it’s a must!
I recommend El nido, Boracay, Cebu and Siargao! ❤
Can understand basic English thast important
Yeah, good at English, but many are not fluent. Read English comments on YT from Filipinos, there's a lot you wouldn't understand.

Thank you very much for the good experience that you share, always be careful in your traveling .God Bless🙏☺️

Thanks for the plug and enjoy your stay!
Just make sure you don't move to the Philippines for work because that would be the worst decision you will make if you're a foreigner.
The perfect setup is being a digital nomad/remote worker, and getting paid in _dollars._
Work online. Teach English, freelance graphic design or write copywriting etc. can even make $1,000+ playing video games online too. I teach how
Not that bad! Definitely would be better than being homeless!
You have no idea. There's thousands of digital nomads like me who earn dollars and live in the Philippines. We can work anywhere even on the beach.

You know what I like after having traveled the world? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich at my dining room table and reading a book in my mortgage paid home. I don't want to drink and party and realize I never really have. In addition, the most beautiful thing I ever saw was in the US--the Northern Lights--until I saw the faces of my newborn childten. Being old and still healthy is the greatest gift, not a $3 drink on a smelly beach.
I love ❤️ that..God Bless you..
Mortgage paid home? That's becoming more difficult in the US. With property taxes, insurance and repair costs (not to mention the mortgage) the monthly expenses are insane now.
@@SomeUserNameBlahBlahnotice he said "mortgage paid home"?
That's because if you're paying property, local, school taxes you never really own it outright. Try not paying those for a few years and see how well that works out for you.😢

Philippines is the nicest country in the world. Friendly, good, English- speaking, beautiful, hospitable, thrifty, humble, law- abiding, smart, peaceful, godly people. You can live her a lifetime at low cost with many Christian churches.
I know, I can get my church in, on a Sunday 🤭🥰
None of that is true.for someone that goes to church you should read that good book a little more. last time I check lying was a sin. Crime rate is higher in the Philippines than in the US. Medical is worse. The education system is worse. Almost 10% of the population is Muslim vs the US of 1%. seriously it's not better than the US in any way.
I don’t know about best in the world as it’s not for everyone. It’s still a developing country so the low cost of living comes with sacrifices vs developed nations.
@@Ashtor1337crime is higher in usa though... About Muslims, you should go to Indonesia, I'm sure you would change your mind.
For philippines, friendly? 30%Filipino don't any foreigners in their neighborhood, it was 60%during duterte s era. And there s only 5M tourists a year and 78.000 expats/migrants. 😮
I am vacationing in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur right now. Right on the beach. Great fresh fish and fresh fruit. People are super nice and friendly. I can't imagine how life could be any better. Eat swim sleep, repeat.
Good for you, brother!
Yeah you know you are there for something else spreading stds
Vacationing and living aren't the same.
Any hotels to recommend?
@Radio280 I stayed in an Airbnb that I can't recommend. I can tell you that many places are not up to western standards. If you are ok with filipino standards, you will be fine though.
This is why i love the Philippines ❤❤❤
Thanks for supporting the Philippines 😊😊
Great looking country Many respects 🇵🇭 from 🇬🇧
All the food there that costs 10 dollars is 500 pesos
Wow that is a great deal and the food looks tasty aswell
And they speak English pretty well, which helps a lot because most people don’t know anything about Tagalog. They are excellent people. Extremely receptive and kind.
The market produce looks so fresh & delicious & the restaurant food looks great too.
Thanks for keeping the Philippine economy and tourism alive. Stay safe! 🙏🇵🇭

Cebu is actually not all that, imo. If you are an American, get ready to treat EVERYONE to meals. Even Filipinos working abroad who come back to the Philippines for a visit are expected to treat family and friends to meals out consistently.
Every time I come home to visit my family, I clearly tell them not to post on fb about my vacation. Just go out with your family, no need to announce it with your friends or your relatives! Lol 😂
Maybe they need to change their expectations-
By the time a American or Filipino buys a ticket to PI,
Rents a hotel room for 30 days , goes sightseeing, must eat out everyday, buys some local goods, tips everyone good, they are out 2-4000 depending on their lifestyle.
Then we are expected to buy meals for everyone?
F that!
They have IPhone and not a less expensive model-
There are 50-60 family members because they don’t use birth control or common sense-
I am not talking about just Pi- it is common throughout SEA.
Just wait until this big recession hits - or this fiat currency crisis hits home-
And it will happen-
I guess you're not familiar with Filipino tradition. It's customary when going out or drinking that the person who makes the more buys for everyone. If you want to avoid that just let everyone know ahead of time.
@@DaveEPieNope, it's Filipino tradition that the one who makes the most pays for dinner and drinks. Americans make more than Filipino celebrities so they are going to see you a paying for it. If you want to avoid that just tell them ahead of time, they won't be made. By the way I got a Philippines for 3 weeks and spent less than $2000 for me and my girlfriend.

Is the Philippines friendly to manufacturing businesses?
Just a reminder why things are cheap compared to the US is because of the unequal exchange rate. If you're earning a western income, even at minimum wage, you're pretty much set for life here. The same cannot be said for ordinary Filipino workers. We wish to have the same western income as you guys, but that would upset this delicate economy and cause prices to rise up quickly (as the last price hike wasn't bad enough)
Im from Philippines, and moved to Canada 20 years ago, and came back to my home town Cebu 20 years later, I would say depending on your lifestyle how you spend in Philippines, it is not cheap there anymore. Good luck.
Yup! You want cheap? Just like anywhere else in the world, you have to go to the Provence were there isn't much available. I'm in Initao and there is a 1/2 acre residential beach front lot sandwiched between noisy low level resorts. The asking is $3 million USD. I Went on Zillow and found lake front US properties for less with more land and beach front for same.
The Chinese came in and bought up everything in sight at top dollar and now every Phillipino thinks his little untitled lot will make him Manny Pacquiao level rich!
So saddening... But peso kept on dropping, - 20%in 3 years, for Americans and Europeans that's a blessing but for Filipinos, is another painful slap.
Philippines imports too much, even rice, sugar and onions,... All raised by 20%.
Amazing that's great
I'm glad you posted this clip. I am glad you all are having a great time and enjoying life. Much luv. Anyway let me inform people before they decide to live there without planning. Because they look at videos and clips like this. Yes, the Philippines is very affordable. A lot of expats move there. But you need to plan well prior to moving there. There are too many expats out there broke and homeless. They don't even have enough money to leave the country. All because they assumed it was very cheap. So they went out there with a certain amount of money thinking it was sufficient. Nope. Another thing he forgot to mention. You can't own a house unless you are married to a Filipino citizen. You can own a condo. However, it needs to be occupied by certain percentage of Filipinos. I know this because I'm married to a Filipina and I have two kids there. I'm glad they are promoting the Philippines. Majority of the places are beautiful. Most of the people are very kind. Most of the stuff out there are cheap. But not everything. In comparison to the US and other countries. Yes! If you decide to move there. Have a plan and enough money. You will definitely be fine with a pension. Enjoy the beautiful country.
One last thing. Pretty much everything is in English. Most of the people speak English. It is taught in schools. It's one of the national languages. Although there are at least 180+ dialects spoken there.
Regarding condo ownership, to clarify, does the condo building have to have a certain percentage of philippinos or does YOUR condo have to have philiooinos? I Think I know the answer but better to ask. Also how is it bringing in pets to the Philippines to live with you (cat's and dogs) limits? Any info would help thank you.
@@stevenkaskus6173The condo ownership of Filipinos is 60%
Ownership of Condominium Units: The Philippine Condominium Act (Republic Act No. 4726) allows foreigners, including former Filipinos who have acquired foreign citizenship, to own condominium units in the Philippines. The law stipulates that foreigners can own up to 40% of the total and outstanding capital stock of a condominium corporation. In other words, a foreign individual or a former Filipino citizen who is now a foreign national can own a condominium unit as long as the total foreign ownership in the condominium corporation does not exceed 40%.
I don't know too much about pet requirements. This is what I found. It's a .gov site. Apparently CZcams isn't allowing me to attach the link.
All health certificates for pet dogs and cats to the Philippines must be issued by a USDA accredited veterinarian, and then endorsed by USDA-APHIS prior to travel. Your private USDA accredited veterinarian will then issue an export health certificate in accordance with the criteria listed in the SPSIC.

I liked the Zoo.
I travelled all around that area. Look at Samal Island or Tagum. They're close enough to commute to Davao city. Samal if you want the laidback island life or Tagum if you want a more artsy smaller city life. Panabo between Davao and Tagum is good if you want a Filipino suburban life.
Guys, these young people that move to say the Philippines, are IT/Tech people. They typically work remotely for American companys that pay your typical american wage.
Nice place to visit, been there a few times.
Looks amazing, relocating there after summer and can't wait 🏝️
I absolutely loved visiting and I'm seriously thinking about retiring there.
Not to mention the people are awesome!
Yeah but visit longer than 2 weeks and don't commit to any one place. Remember, the biggest mistake retirees who decide to retire where they vacation is they think every day will be a vacation day. Never works that way. Do lots of research via expats u tube channels and don't burn your US bridges until you've found a place here you are comfortable with and spent a year or more. I believe every expat here would give the same advice. Good luck!
More fun in the Philippines!
Yooo i live near the white sand beach on MoalBoal great job!!!❤

If you have 1k dollar pension,. You can leave comfortably here right?
No@@jaylordzeusdelica64
@@jaylordzeusdelica64 Define comfortably? But yes you can live there easily for $1000 if your not doing things you shouldn't be doing that cost much more.

Most things are cheap, but things like electricity to run your AC (which you WILL need) are not.
@@repaid1 but live like a king with $4000 from the VA where in the USA or the Philippines?

Oh wow! Paradise!👍🇵🇭🇧🇭👍
I know what you thinking bro 🤣🤣 the last one if fr 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tourists want to stay long-term in the Philippines, but Filipinos want to migrate out of their own country permanently.
the most ideal would be to earn a pension from abroad THEN retire in the Philippines with foreign currency as pension. that way, you enjoy a decent life while helping the economy by bringing in foreign currency.
Enjoy the beautiful island, Philippines!!♥️🤍♥️
I just hope these people moving in respect the country, the locals and their culture. And that they don’t take away the business opportunities of the locals (as some areas have had that happen).

Try visiting ILOILO CITY, it's the Philippines' best-kept-secret. It's the Cleanest and Most Beautiful City in the Philippines. It's more beautiful than Cebu. White sand beaches are in Guimaras Island, 20 minutes away by fastcraft boat. Boracay is a pleasant 5-hour air-conditioned bus from ILOILO. Most Bike-Friendly City in the Philippines, too. Iloilo has got everything you would ever need to continue living the convenient western way of life that you have been comfortable with in your country. If you are a fitness enthusiast, Iloilo is your happy place. It is fit the best well-maintained parks, plazas, public flower gardens, and extensive riverside and creekside Esplanades with endless jogging and strolling paths, flowerbeds, fragrant flowering trees, royal palm trees, shrubbery, colorful bougainvilleas, and fragrant vines in trellises. Museums, art galleries, outdoor murals. Food is superb

Filipino food is so underrated
@marineknowsbest3123 no it's not. A lot of deep fried food
if you have a pension or a business back in the USA, you're good. but if you live in the PH and have to work here, the salary is from 10 dollars to 20 dollars per day.
Which is a great supplement. Would be great if foreigners could supplement their income with a job. Social security only gives some 700 a month. It’s livable in the Philippines not in the USA.
No bro, still working for USA company, get pay $ from their country & pay tax for their country.
Worst case, work for local company's, get pay international rate but not pay local tax.
Atleast their brings money to spend😅
20 dollars a day needs a very very high standards 😂

Hey Jon, I enjoyed the video and discussion. For me, riding is just about getting out on my own for a bit, and enjoying the countryside. I usually like to try and get "lost" just taking random turns and discovering different roads and areas. Often times, I find myself on a mix of quiet blacktop and dirt, sand and gravel. I don't hesitate to go anywhere on the KLR, although deep sand makes me nervous. (Some roads can turn loose and "fluffy" in spots)
...I carry a collapsible rod and gear in my trunk if I feel like casting a line for a bit at the many swamp creeks and channels that network through my area.

To those people who bashed and criticized my country it's true that poverty are all around but still Filipinos lived in a simple way and still can afford to smile and strive to be happy and contented of what they have as long as they earned their living in a descent way.
Where the so called cheap amenities are cheap enough for the dollars to come in but astronomically expensive for the ordinary Juan Dela Cruz (Filipino) to come anywhere near.
Sadly, even the builders (masons and carpenters) who once built and tirelessly labored for those establishments are not allowed or able to enjoy the benefits of the work of their hands 🥺😭
