The Barangay Captain is an elected position. When you feel like doing some kind of charitable event, always go to the Barangay Captains and ask them for their advice and participation if they want to participate.
It keeps their name in a good light come election time and it keeps you in a better foundation in case you need to involve the Barangay Captain in anything in the future.
I like to keep my giving private. So I prefer to just sit back as a spectator and let the Barangay Captain take all the credit if he wants to.
thanks for the info Tom Scott
My wife's cousin is a barangay captain. They are nonconfrontational approach people.
Mike, great informative video, I prefer to learn from others' mistakes.
I’ve built two barangay halls as a gift. They named it after me and I’ve moved on. It’s nothing to donate three lechon to halls for a community festival.
You’re a good man Mike and a great example for what a responsible happy expat looks like 🙏🏼
I appreciate that
Thank you, Mike, for representing expats well. Kind of you.
I just represent myself and my family here. but thank you
Following the law is key to steering clear of trouble.
in any country
Good informations, also had an small issue one time in the phillipines, went to the barangay captain and he handled the situation very well.
Best place to handle things
When you're moving out and you have a 2 month deposit, stop paying your rent two months in advance. Many landlords won't pay you back, not because they don't want to but because they can't. They never put that money aside to pay you back. They used it thinking that they will cross that bridge when they come to it, but when the moment is there, they don't have the cash.
Thats common practice among locals. The landlords considered the tenant not paying last 2 months rent
Exactly correct when you know you're moving out do not pay rent let them keep your deposit 1000% you will not get it back
And what about your utility bills ?
Who pays for those when you're gone and used up all the money prepaid as security ?
@@-goldfinger2695 They just have to forward these bills to you and if you are an honest person you will pay them.
Godbless u Mike u will be blessed for that .respect brother💙
thank you so much
Mike your good deeds will be rewarded by God a thousand times over.
thank you
He has alrfeady got his reward with accolades from others. God rewards action done in silence
I share a lot on my channel and many things I do not. It was a nice story about being a good person with feeling for people in need and I help in many ways you will never know of
@@darrinelford1473 I agree with you.
Stay Kind, Humble and just keep your head down living a peaceful life and realize everything you do or say is being watched so it's Best to just take care of business first and everything else is All Good.. Don't sweat the small stuff and 95% of stuff is Small stuff
well said
Even back in the US, we have regularly purchased meals for destitute people in fast food restaurants that had come in for a glass of water and the restroom. Here in the Philippines we regularly give to those that are in need.
you had a good heart keep sharing the blessing
I have seen Americans going into trash bins in Seattle USA.
What your right does don’t let your left hand knows.
So when you do a good deed don’t tell the world.
I share a lot on my channel and many things I do not. It was a nice story about being a good person with feeling for people in need and I help in many ways you will never know of
The story is told so that tight wads may change their ways.
I'm not saying you're a tight wad, but you seem to think it's bad to share a positive moment , why?
You are a good man. Charity is important. If you have more than you need, it is important to help others. I will do the same when I arrive.
come to the Philippines with your eyes open and your heart
Re: Act of kindness. Another brick for your heavenly mansion.
need to do more than that to overcome my shortcomings
If you don't like standing in line at the LTO find yourself a fixer. For a fee he will be glad to stand in line for you.
thanks for the info John
Fixers are illegal if you are caught you will be in trouble 😮
in trouble how?
@@mikesphilippineretirement as with a lot of laws here, they aren't enforced. At the LTO, the fixer makes their piece, and so do the underpaid LTO clerks. I know someone who initially got their PDLicense. I think he paid 2000 pesos; the license fee etc was 1000 and the balance was split between fixer and the LTO folks. Same guy was given a vision test in which he cheated (covered his one eye but 'didn't cover' it--he was blind in one eye) so it's all a bit of a joke.
I have been using fixers for 10 years and no problems. I got my registration and license brought to me. It’s a little bit more money but u don’t have to fall in line or wait. You should get a reliable fixer. Mine is a retired employee of the LTO (dmv in America), so he knew almost everyone in that office. You can get one that is a relative or close friend of an employee in the LTO and he/she will take care of you of course with a fee.
Lil story about a beggar. My grand niece saw a guy begging on corner with sign asking for money for food, so she said “cmon I’ll take you to Mac Donald’s and feed you” he told her just give him some money. Things like that make me hesitant to help people out, also once one sees you helping they’ll want help also! Long time ago my mother donated to one and soon she was getting things in the mail almost daily asking for a donation.
Thanks for sharing Mike
I didn't watch your stuff for some time, since I fell into another rabbit hole. Great to check back now and see your channel prospering. I'm looking forward to meeting you maybe some day. My wife's family is not too far from Dumaguete.
Welcome back!
Good on you mate! Good to always reach out when needed.
Much appreciated
This is an excellent video... real help given.. Cheers!!!!
thanks for watching
thanks
Great video Mike. These are stories every future expat can learn from. Keep up the great videos, and I'll keep watching!!
Thanks Ted
Mike, I enjoyed your stories...thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
Good to see you filming back out and about
yes starting to feel better thank you
No matter what you are still a quest in there country follow their laws and you are doing a great job of informing us other foreigners thank you so much and God bless you
They can always ask you to leave
Excellent content as always
That was a really great & informative blog Mike, thx for sharing.
welcome
Hi Mike. You are right. I do not give to beggars, but willing to help other people. I do have important info for expats. They should be getting discount for senior citizen. I have proof as I got it twice. Willing to be interviewed about it. I live in Valencia. Salamat.
sure here is my e mail mikesphilippineretirement@gmail.com
This was a good video Mike. Glad I watched it.
thanks Mark
Happy endings. Rare in the Philippines.
I'm looking for them
You a good man Mike, take care of yourself as well as you do the others.
Thanks Bruce
People that procrastinate, don't want to do what needs to be done. And usually complain about everything.
God bless you Mike
thank you Robert
Good Stories Mike...Especially the last one about not getting his Deposit back...Congrat to the Barangay Captain..I will be sure to keep this story in mind once I decide to move to the Philippines...
Thanks Ron
Glad to hear Mark got his deposit back. Is 2 moths rent for deposit normal there? Seems like a lot. Nice video, keep up the good work, Janet and Mike...Jim
Yes it is! but you should say in the lease it is the last 2 months rent
2:22 People are always watching, so does someone else who is dear to us. :)
yes many eyes in the Philippines
Good for you Mike, you're a good person. I wish more foreigners would conduct themselves properly & not give us a bad name. (Especially us Americans) We need to remember that we're guests in THEIR country. I also wish foreigners in our country would do the same.
I think many do but you only hear about the bad things people do
WOW Bud Brown I am so glad you had him in your video mike, I am glad he is ok. I used to watch his videos all the time then it seems he just disappeared. I was wondering what happened to him.
he moved back to the states he still does you tube
Thanks for the video brother. Good information my friend
No problem 👍
Retired expat living in Thailand.
Happily no beggars where we live .
Buy nice gesture.
Maybe you just do not see them
@@mikesphilippineretirement none here. But some in Bangkok when we visit. We always give them money.
Start a Expats failing TV show. These are grown ass men. Lol
in this video who is failing
I have never recieved my deposits returned and I never left any damages always paid the utilities before leaving. Never left happy but I usually was not out that much money, wrote it off to doing business in the Philippines, the landlords I had would not make repairs either on anything that was wrong with the house before we moved in.
Sorry to hear that
Mike thanks
sure thing Bill
I have Rented several Properties in Philippines. Never give First, Last and Deposit. I have always Consumed the deposit as last month rent when I moved. Landlords will always demand First, Last and Deposit equal to 1 month rent. Never fall for that because if you will not get the deposit back.
never ok your a better person than most
good one Mike
Thanks Danny
They have plenty of officers to enforce the motorbike registration, but not enough staff to actually process the motorbike registrations (without more than a day waiting in line). Got to admit, there is a point there. But yelling at the officer sure won't solve it.
yes but it is what it is and we can not change the system
A little jail time would have been good for Ted. Being enabled to skip out on your obligations teaches you nothing and leaves you likely to do it again since you learned nothing.
Agreed
what is he going to do at 73. go back to school. Thank God his family took the time and money to keep him out of Jail and get him back home.
Forget that hassel. Move to Cambodia where there is NO license needed for a 125cc motorbike!
@@Not_A_Tourist - Not really. If you stick to the tourist cities like Siem Reap and most of Phnom Penk, even Kampot, you will not have a language barrier problem.
I find Cambodia the last country in Asia I would move to.
Baranguy captain helped both sides. He helped mark get his deposit back while showing the landlord some respect by having mark leave so he could talk with him.
He did a good job with that problem and no one had to pay a lawyer.
My wife here said that all those beggars you're referring to most of them don't speak Tagalog or cebuana they are brought here by the syndicate and that's what they're made to do beg and all the money goes to the syndicate they're from Mindinau
not a syndicate a tribe from southern Mindanao
There are both. There is beggar mafia who have all country divided, every street corner and beach has a beggar boss who is often has more power than the city Mayor.
And then there is a traveling tribe from Mindanao who used to be pirates and headhunters in the past and probably still are but now made begging their main business.
They compete with each other or have some kind of agreement who goes where.
@VittoShulman I do not think so calling B/S on your statement
@@mikesphilippineretirement You should make yourself aware of your surroundings.
again Not a tourist your blind about everything in the Philippines
Janet is right! When you give to the Baja and others that USE their kids to beg then you keep those kids in severe poverty to repeat the same abuse to their kids.
I agree with her also
I drove with Montana license plates on my car & bike, in Duma/Valencia, for THREE YEARS there and never had anyone ask.
so you got away with it. Did that make it right?
@@mikesphilippineretirement as right as paying a fixer at LTR to cut in front of everybody else waiting in queue. and alot easier. just showing the incompetence of the place. like no tin to make plates for years. did they ever get any tin?
Great video. That was very good of you to help that man. I agree that you can't give to most beggars, but that man was fending for himself and not bothering people. Here in Boston, my Filipina wife takes the hungry beggars into the fast food place and let's them order their own food. She is smart enough not to give them money that they will most likely spend on alcohol or drugs. Most situations in the Philippines are different. That man was just trying to survive.
thanks for sharing Brain

@@mikesphilippineretirement Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
I overstayed my visa in 2022 for 13 days and cost me 8,500 pesos to be able to exit Philippines.
it can add up in cost.
Excellent advice, acti g like an entitled Karen doesn't get you very far. Have self respect and respect other people no matter what their station in life. Cheers Aussie John
thanks for the comment John
I have never gotten a deposit back. Rent is so cheap in the Philippines that it is not a big deal, but I never give mor than first and last month rent. If you have the money in your hand they will take it.
I have always gotten my deposit back. 50k php is almost 1k usd just throw it away is your idea of a not a big deal...
❤👍
thank you Edgar
Do unto others as you would want someone to do to you
true
go to thailand round trip from manila 2k peso .lol bus from any wear about 1k to 2k peso round trip . under 100 usd . 3 day stay in Singapore a cheap hotel 125 usd . food 50 usd . trans 40 usd
Hello and thanks for post i just want to mention i use skyscanner over here for planning out cheap flight hotels and stuff it seems pretty good for setting up for that visa run. I like it because you can search a whole month at a time or whatever to get the rates in the entire month you don't have to keep entering in dates you want to travel and up to give you the whole month and tell you what days are the cheapest and stuff. Have yourself a fine day
#1 never ever overstay your visa !!
Top reason expats end up in Jail in the Philippines
@@mikesphilippineretirement thats right #1 reason, expats being stupid overstay such a simple and easy BI/visa in PI...seriously...dumb...think after 4yrs +1 day u be permanently banned after spending time in detention /Bicutan/Makati and we have to get you kinda out of there...other reasons, dont get complaints especially from X gf ectr and disrespecting philippinos, dont do drugs and stay away from guns & NPA ectr...also dont wear any miliotary outfit such camos not well recieved in PI
I was talking to my rental/Real Estate Agent earlier today, and suggested that I record a video of the house we're moving into, next Monday, to show the condition of the house before moving in. Then a video when our lease expires, just for the reasons you mentioned. She thought that was a good idea, so everyone is covered. In fact, she is going to begin doing that for her future clients (home owners and renters). This could eliminate future problems for renters?
yes it would great idea Jerry
When Ted saw you coming from behind he probably was worried you were coming to ask for a sip from his newly brewed coffee!
Ted had coffee from the 7-11 and had his gf with him
Dont deal with fixers! They prioritize the senior citizen all goverment agencies has senior citizen lane
use who ever you need to help you get things done
No sympathy, Respect and Obey the laws if you want to stay in Philippines. When you yell and disrespect a Philippine Police Officer it will never end well.
Andy was lucky nothing came out of it
Is it hard to live in a country where you see powerty - does ot get to you in the long run or do get use to it?
It does get to me but I can not help everyone so I do food donation cash donations and give to people when it does touch my heart
do you know if a expat can buy an impounded motorcycle or car or (my filipina wife) can buy foreclosed property? would be a good way to get a bike without dealing with a dealership . thanks
Don’t over stay simple 🙏🤔🫣😁😳👀
great advice
Badjao they are the nomadic sea gypsies a marginalized tribe that has been neglected by the government. Aetas tribes are also marginalized but they till the land and do farming.
thanks for the info
No need to hire an attorney..simple solution obey the law...
but after your in trouble you need to
that is like saying no need for a doctor just don't get sick
It is hard to find a good way to give or donate. One thing I noticed when you give money to one kid, instead of keeping it s secret for himself he goes and tells all the other kids and so next time when they see you, you will have several of them following you. No English with just their hand out. If I saw a guy like you did, I would give him money too, he was not a professional beggar.
thanks Franky as Bud Brown said give if you want when you can

He is in Manila to far for me to visit
watching from san diego, ca. there are many homeless and pandhandlers here in USA and see some rammaging trash for foods.
Mike, the place where your friend lives, Sibulan, is pronounced SIH BOO LON not SOO BA LON 😂
hmmm
Who cares 😂😂😂
Wow really? Your comment is to correct Mike’s pronunciation?
@@Mmikeyyyy I am doing him a favor because to people living here, people who cannot pronounce the names of common places sound like newbie foreigners. It's OK, sir.
6:54 Hey Mike how about a skin tax video I've been searching for property for my girl and her kids so I can build us a house but every time I find something they see I'm a foreigner suddenly the price goes from 600 per square meter to 800 per square meter it's unacceptable I guess I won't be purchasing property it's ridiculous.... what's your thoughts on this subject
you need to work around it some how
Like I said I guess I won't be purchasing property.Skin tax isn't talked about here or on any other channel I guess
When you know you're going to move out and you gave a deposit don't pay the rent let them keep the deposit because they will not give it back to you for any reason
good point or have it in the lease that you will use the deposit for the last month rent
Does the guy in Your thumbnail really have six fingers on his right hand?
I would do the same when I see someone who needs help. The only time I carry money, is when I need to go to the store. I never carry more than I need.
yes maybe
You are the walking gospel. The salt of the earth.
not I'm Not but it did feel good to help someone not asking for help

You’re retired. What else you got to do but wait in line? A fixer is the way to go.
i always have someone help me
If you really think about it the fixers aren't that much money and they can really help a lot when you need specific things that you don't know how to get yourself. Especially if they make you run up the manila for anything that would be horrible. Just depends if you want to go for around for weeks i'm getting paperwork and everything are just see the guided does it everyday for a couple hundred bucks

I wonder if Filipinos who are "lucky" enough to emigrate to the U.S. immediately get back on the plane and come back because of politics, woke women and inflation?
no they get to work and plan on bring back as much money as they can and take care of the family
Life is too good for them in the U.S.A.
They emigrate to the U.S.A. for opportunties- those we take for granted.... Public education without the corruption of teachers and administrators making money on the side; public safety without having to have money in your pocket for tea money at checkpoints if you have minor infraction; fleeing corruption at all levels of government- barangay to the presidency; getting their kids into STEM for their pursuit of career skills in high demand in the U.S.A.; For us seniors, getting a casual job in the U.S.A. is simple. Walmart, Amazaon, McDonalds, security guard services- all hire seniors, unlike in the Philippines where it's very difficult to get a job if you are over 30. Even in the professional fields like teaching, there's less age discrimination than in the Philippines. Filipinos aren't concerned with our poltitics. Look what they are coming from! Wokeness? They are open to new, progressive ideas. Inflation? Well, they have it in the Philppines, and with stagnant wages, it's much worse than in the U.S.A. For those of us expats who are retirees and living in Southeast Asia, Central and South America, Caribbean islands, it's not the poltiics, wokeness, or inflation that drove us to these 3rd World countries. No, it's the fact that our pensions and other income sources are on a 1st World scale which gives us spending power to live a good life without having to work, or do side jobs as retirees. Bascically, cheap labor = lower cost of living... That simple.
You’re a good man Mike and a great example for what a responsible happy expat looks like 🙏🏼
Thank you
