Good afternoon mike just following up with my health and stuff in 2 years here at 67 years old. At home I had high blood pressure 3 medications with insulin. Neuralathy. Degenerative disk. Chronic pIn. After 2 years. I've lost 40 lbs. No more blood pressure meds.Diabetes medication cut in half. No cholesterol problems. Great blood tests. I credit this to Philippines diet. Fresh fruit and veggies every day. No soda. Very little drinking. Great video Mike! Always enjoyable. BTW. I heard the other day you had another Charles out here. I'm CharlesF from San Carlos Negros Occidental. God Bless you 3!
Seems I have as many Charles as I have Mike's watching and commenting thank you again and sharing that good news on your health

✅egans are peaceful. GorilIas they don’t eat meat, and they are peaceful. Chimp eat monkeys, and meat eaters have wars and fighting, because the microbes are different. Be ✅egan ✅❤️💪😬🍠🥬🍉🍊...
Just don't eat at Jolibee 😂. In all seriousness though many people throw shade at the Filipino food here. Truth is much of it is junk and awful for your health. Like anywhere in world if you stick to low sugar and healthy organic foods you will get better outcomes. If you're an old guy here be sure to keep health checks always
@@jacked6 thank you i tried for decades to lose weight. It just much easier here cuz i'm not picking so much processed crap.
Best CZcams I ever seen about the Philippines and I been watching for over 4 years ... we are the same age and almost the exact story with me and been here for over a year and married now... we are truly blessed...
totally agree
The best ever? Really?
Hello Mike Paul m 1952 going to be 72 June your a straight shooter and a genuine bloke and a good ambassador for USA keep doing what you're doing and loose some weight for longevity, anyhow I have had a long time relationship with a philipina woman she is 54 and has a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and never lapsed in her work ethics and I have known her since October 2020 during covid and I have been to the Philippines for one month and I have since supported her since the beginning met all of her family and friends and we communicate 2+ times every day since we met but the annulment process is slow and I would like to live with her but although she is legally separated from her husband for 17 years I don't want to jeopardize myself with the laws of the Philippines if I go to live with her and how much is health insurance the annulment is moving along but has been 3+ years I love her and she loves me and we call each other WhatsApp wife or husband and the clock keeps on ticking need your input and others who subscribe to you I want to be with her she is my every at this stage of the game
Only been here for 2 months in Bohol, loving the place and people. Met a wonderful women in church.Very shy, we talk on Facebook messenger every night for hours, even though I can walk to her house in 2. minutes. That has made her a lot less shy speaking English in front of me when we do meet everyday. She asked me if I would have a courtship with her in front of her family. When I do I earn her respect and the love of her family. Highly recommend doing that and meeting someone in church.
Thanks for sharing Greg
Filipinas are generally caring and loving. Just treat them with respect and dignity, and I can say that since I'm married to one. Good for you and keep it up!
Thanks for sharing
I have had 3 stepsisters and 1 stepbrother (Filipino) in my family for along time and I joke that I keep waiting for there attitudes to change because they are ALWAYS so Genuinely nice and I mean for many years since my dad married there mom,been over 30 years
Your story matches my story in many ways. However, I haven't found a "Janet" yet. Very beautiful, touching story.
I experienced a lot of bad things in Afghanistan, among other places. Here I have the opportunity to find myself and every minute here is valuable. In contrast to your story, I initially sought solitude in nature. I crossed the entire island of Mindoro mostly on foot. Now in Davao I am around people a lot again and can enjoy it. Everyone should find their own way. George
God Bless George I hope you find true happiness

What an awesome testimony Mike, you poured your heart out on this one and your honesty and sincerity are there in your voice. She is a blessed woman to have you! God bless you and Janet, I hope Grace and I can meet ya"ll in person some day, we live in Laguna. I plan to move there next year when I retire from the service.
I appreciate that!
Mike, I’ve only been watching you since last summer but I notice a difference in you and a big one with Janet. Here’s to another great year! 🍮☕️
You are right!

thank you
Congratulations on 2 years! and you scored BIG with Janet! Congratulations! and 5am is WAY to early to wake up lol
I know!!
good for you Mike and thanks for sharing your story and success in the Philippines. im sure there are many guys here in the west who could find a better life there and benefit from your advice. keep up the good work😊
Thank you
You’re living every American man’s dream! An inspiration that gives hope to all!
Mike, this is a great review of your two-year journey in the Philippines. I've been watching your videos this year. I'm glad to hear life is good with you in my birthplace. I look forward to watching more videos and enjoying your continued success. Keep up the Faith and Fire. God Bless.
Congratulation on being in the Philippines for 2 years and great story concerning how you met
Janet ! You knew right away she was the right one for you and things turned out very well.
Thanks for the videos / advices you provide, Take care !!!
You're welcome
I’m happy for you Mike !!! I admire your honesty. God Bless you and your family .
You are so much more relaxed and Janet’s confidence is better. It comes through in your videos how much happier you are.
Oh thank you!
Looking good Mike yes you look much happier than when I started watching your channel. I thought it was a great video you've really gotten smoth and confident
Wow, thank you
Your channel popped up on my algorithm. Watched your story. Very very nice and well-articulated. I am now a subscriber. Thank you Mike! Peter
Thanks Peter
@@mikesphilippineretirement Now I think I all of the Mike's covered! ☺
Glad to hear it’s worked out well Mike. I think I started watching your channel in the first month or so. You’ve come a long way. It’s inspiring.
I appreciate that!
Congrats on 2 years in the Philippines. The Philippines has a good way of leaving all those troubles of the west behind. The west is all hustle and bustle and the slower pace of here is better. Thanks for another video Mike.
welcome
Slow pace in Dumaguete. You must be kidding. That place is a cesspool. 134,000 people. Who knows how many motorcycles and not one traffic light in the entire city. Garbage on the streets. I just got back from 3 weeks there. I didn’t see one city worker doing anything in Dumaguete. If there are building codes they are certainly not enforced. Shoddy looking condos and other buildings going up just anywhere there is space to put them. I married a Filipina there in 1987. We have lived in the United States since then and we will continue to live here. Dumaguete is not fit for a human being to live in. The pollution from all of those vehicles is horrible. My last trip going there.
@@Hary1470 hahaha Glad to see your such a positive person.
Mike, I am so glad that, in general, things are working out well for you. Best of luck!
Thank you!
Nice video Mike. I’m looking forward to having a similar experience in the next little bit of time. Janet is a great addition to your life.
Thank you Doug
Pleased to hear Mike, so happy for you, Janet and PJ. Thanks for sharing and God’s blessings to each of you.
thank you Troy
I've been following your channel since the beginning and I must say, you look great!👍
You look fresh, it shows in your skin...you can hear the peace of mind that you have. Thats a blessoling my brother👍🏾
thanks
Truly a pleasure being a subscriber to your page. I’m planning to make the move. I have somewhat of a history there having first visited at 24 years old. Regards
Would enjoy meeting you when you get here Steve
Lovely story, and so true about real Filipina like sweet Janet. Good luck to both of you.
Thank you! 😃
Congratulations brother. Go to where you find your happiness. Bless you
I appreciate that
I’m very happy for you Mike. It’s great to know there are these options internationally, which you’ve transitioned to well. You described so accurately the stresses of living in the US, it’s especially difficult now with the divisive political situation as appalling as it is. I’ve traveled to 53 countries and I do like the Philippines. I think Filipino people are some of the happiest, friendliest, and most unselfish, attractive and loving people I’ve met. Best to you and Janet!
Thanks for sharing
Mike, Thanks for sharing your story. I hope that you have many, many more years of happiness in the Philippines 🇵🇭.
Thanks so much
Congratulations on your two years Mike. Wish you more years of happy retirement there with Janet. Thanks for the video.

Awesome! Thank you!
I’ve been watching you for almost a year, Mike. I watched your evolution when you and Janet were getting closer, and I can definitely see how much calmer and self-assured you are now 👍 I’m so happy that Christine and I can consider you and Janet friends! ❤️
I’ve been here 60 days, with 30 to go, and I can’t believe how time has flown, but how much better I already feel 🥳🌴 When I return, permanently this summer, I know that the Philippines will change me for the better!
i agree. enjoy your life with Christine
Another great video, Mike. I’m happy that you’re maintaining your health. You’re good health. Stay healthy for your entire life because I want to meet you when I get there brother 😎✌🏽
Thanks Mike
Wishing you good health & happiness. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
So happy for you Mike and I’m glad I found your channel. I was in the Philippines for a month mid-January to mid-February and loved every minute.
I will be retiring later this year and will be going back.
Welcome aboard!
Such a pleasure listening to you Mike. Thanks!
Thanks for listening
Hi Mike I've watched your vlogs for probably almost a year and you truly seem happier now. I'm so very happy for you! God bless
Mike- Youve been a natural at communicating to us great info, those of us who are in that same routine US situation of HBP, alone, etc. Your story is therefore a godsend to us close to retirement seeking the benifits you describe. Your vlogs made it practical for me to do a couple recon visits and stay at your recommended Sierra Resort which turned out a great value and location. And you were kind enough to meet me in person. So far your videos, presentations and looks have improved so much in the last year and a half. Your better health and happiness shows each time. Solid balanced serious info w a smile and in a down to earth way we understand and relate to. paced and organized for those of us older guys to get an accurate picture of life there. Visiting proved to verify what you are talking about, pros and cons. Gio is good, old dog entertaining, but you ad a real life practical example of how good life can be there if it fits your aspirations. Thanks for the great help, please keep up the good work and sharing. wishing your Best success and hope to see you again next time, John.
See you next time John
You are speaking the total truth . Love it .
thanks
Hi Mike, you are very positive guy and good things happening for you, blessed! Thank you for review!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for your authenticity Mike!
Always!
Hi Mike. I've been watching your videos for the past several months, and you do strike me as relaxed and happy. I'm planning to make my own boot-on-the-ground exploration of the Phils sometime soon. When I do, when I get down to Negros, I'll reach out again and perhaps we can meet up for a coffee and chill. Keep up the good work!
see you soon
Mike, thank you for sharing your experience, I've been there 3 times. I can't wait to return
great to hear you enjoyed your visit
You're a good growing, still active man living life. I'm happy for you Mike! You have a life plan now, enjoy!!
That's the plan!
Great video, Mike. Thank you for the financial update, as well. Knowing that you're doing well living under $2000 per month is extremely helpful. I''m 53 now working toward my hopeful retirement in SE Asia and hope to pull the trigger at 60-62 if I can swing it. Love your channel and look forward to seeing more of your videos.
thanks for watching and hope we can help you
I’m happy for you- becoming a better you !
Enjoy retirement and thank you for respecting the people around you .
I appreciate that
Great to view your positive biennial update Mike. You are a great example of a Philippines success story in all respects and I’m happy to have shared some of those happy and relaxed Bo’s Coffee (where I am of course sitting as I type this) moments with you and Janet.
Love conquers all ❤
I will be at Bo's on Sunday morning
Cool I am just leaving for Mactan Newtown for the weekend now, but will be back at Bo’s on Monday morning after my 10 AM dental appointment.
Mike, I really liked this episode. It was interesting yo hear how you met Janet. Stay well and happy.
thank you
Hi Mike enjoyed the video of your two year journey. Yes you accomplished your goal of being a better person. You are a good guy and you do help other people. I know you helped me. As far as CZcams I remember when you had the budget videos and you showed what you bought and the price. So I have been a long time subscriber. You now have self confidence in your blogging you can see that. You help people with there transition to the Philippines. You have a great future to look forward too. Just think if you did not take the big step of coming to the Philippines where you would be today.
thank you Tom
Great video. Mike, I am so grateful for your opinions and openness about you life in the Philippines. No BS, no exaggeration, very transparent.. Between you Vlogs and Paul's, the Old Dog, your information has very much inspired me to consider, and eventually decide that this is where I needed to be. Long story short, I have met and married a Filipina. Later this year, we will settle in her home town outside of Daet in Bicol. Her town is a charming, quiet, beautiful, and well equipped to handle the rain drainage. I am so blessed in that her family is awesome. Her son is well mannered and quite positive in his life outlook. In June, we will travel back for her son's high school graduation. We have much to do, but a gig part of this travel is to get my wife's name change completed. As you are now well aware, the red tape and always changing requirements, can be very daunting. But we will get it handled, one bite at a time. (like eating an elephant). All this to say, I hope that we can take a side trip to Dumaguete and sit down with at least you and Janet, because of your inspiration for me. Buy you a meal, and maybe even get Paul and Mae to come along. Again, I appreciate all your "real" advise. Honest, no hyperbole. Much thanks.
thanks for sharing
Mike, great video from the heart. Your story telling has improved. This video is at the level of something the Old Dog would put out. (In my mind that is a huge compliment)
Wow, thanks
You a big inspiration mike thank you for showing us older men theirs a better way to live approaching our Golden years.
I appreciate that
Thanks Mike. Lovely heartwarming story 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
You are very guapo, Mike! Thank you for sharing your experience of the last two years in the Phils.
What a lovely story. Your Janet is a great example of what a woman should be.
thank you czcams.com/video/qM_5xXsRHO8/video.htmlsi=1VapHT0SKUcWI46m is the link to her channel
Mike, this video was exactly what I needed! The outline of your personal life in the states is very similar to how I currently feel. I have had a few medical hurdles to get over and have cleared those up. I've been to dumegete 2 years ago and your story has motivated me to return soon. Thank you! Looking forward to the opportunity to meet and thank you personally for all the good videos and information you share!
thank you George
Thomas here from Canada , wow arrived on my birthday and reflecting 2 yrs later on my birthday , keep her going and God Bless, hope to meet up later this year at the age of 61 my final destiny of retirement.
Happy birthday!
Mike I get more information from you than any of the others again thank you and congratulations on your happiness
You are very welcome

First time listening to your blog. Congrats on your two year of a positive transitions.

I love this video...the best one yet!!!
thanks
Mike you are a great story teller and loved this video. I remember way back, I would just clicking on your channel to hear Janet say: "Hi Mike". You have come a long way so keep up the great work.
Thanks Sam
Thanks a lot for your video Mike. I am in the transition for moving to Philippines. When you recorded the video I was there. I´ll be for a second time and a longer period of six months. All the question you asked yourself were also in my mind. I have at the moment only the experience of two months there and was positive, I did´nt want to return to my country. I share with you the same purposes and the same needs regarding starting a new life. Has been very useful, encouraging and interesting for me to have been able to listen to you. Thanks again for sharing your personal experiences.
Good job Mike. I worked with the Philippinos for a very long time, they are hard workers and good caring people. I am ready to come and stay in Dumaguete City. I am looking forward for this trip.
Mike,great positive video I'm happy that your doing well.
Thanks 👍Edwin

Excellent. A new and better life. Love it
Great move. Happy you are enjoying life and able to relax.
Yes, thank you
Thanks I needed that video.
Very informative!! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Most Filipinos/Filipinas are like that - warm and caring. I believe it is because we see it in our parents: how they take care of each other, take care of the children and it becomes a pleasant cycle. When the children become adults, they take care good care of their parents as well.
Thanks for sharing
❤❤❤ can't wait 🎉🎉🎉🎉
great
Gud luck to you sir,more happiness ,gud health.n peace...

nice video. subject matter is what many people thinking of retiring in the philippines are interested in.
Thanks Matt
Greetings from Panama. I am now close to 5 years in Panama, what should be normally a 5 month vacation. Right. Came to Panama after I was invited by friends. November 2019 flight Edmonton Alberta to Panama City. Pandemic started and I was stranded for 2 years in Panama. Wasn’t allowed to fly back home. Anyway. Like you said. Try out nice and warm countries for the retirement living. After my last online request for my return flight was again denied, I just had enough from Canada. Sold everything and just enjoyed Panama. Originally from Germany, I would have never dreamed of sitting every day under Palm trees and enjoying a cold beer. Even started last year in June to build my own house here. There is no hurry in finishing it. I just enjoy doing it. Coming home before it gets too hot outside and enjoying dinner with my girlfriend. Difference how you met your Janet, I did find my lady on the street. Old style. Enjoy your life!
Great video coming from the heart...I imagine the best move of your life
It really is!
Thanks for your viees and opinions Mike. This has been inspirational and what you went through in the "states" is what l am going through now.
You're a great narrator, Mike! I always enjoy listening to your stories.
Thank you kindly!

@@mikesphilippineretirement I just did and commented on it. As you may or may not remember, I'm not in a position to leave Belgium at the moment because of the care for my mother. If I ever do get the chance to move to the Philippines, I will be going to Ormoc, because that's where all my friends are. Still, I always watch your rental videos, just to keep up to date on the rental market, which is only just a little bit more expensive in Dumaguete than in Ormoc.
Thank you Paul
Getting everything lined up, imm 65 and planning to move there as well. Hopefully by the end of 2024. I have watched your blogs many times. great ad ice. Thank you.
