- Expats To Be Removed From The Philippines?
Recent drama has come to a boiling point in the Philippines. Let's talk about why you should avoid these types of situations, why I prefer to live away from other foreigners, and why it is very important to conduct yourself properly while in the Philippines.
Thank you for your time watching this video! We hope you enjoy it!

Thank you so much man I love your channel. You’re cool and calm I don’t like the drama myself that’s why I’m gonna try to stay in the province with the native people in a few more years when I retire thank you for your channel and God bless.
I appreciate that. God bless
I agree 100%. I share the same views. I go there to enjoy the Philippines life and culture and foods. I don't want to be surrounded by westerners. I tend to lean on my wife there and her on me here. I'm happy just being surrounded by her family and friends in her village. We have house 99% complete. I'll get to start enjoying it this December. Enjoy the vlogs as always
Great to hear! Congrats on the house.
That's why I prefer the province. Simple, quiet, peaceful, and gorgeous.
Is there a way to contact you via email?
It is a big wake up call for all of us-especially over 65-we all think we are tough but fighting at our age is ridiculous and dangerous.
do you call that fighting,
They're clowns.
Lived here a long time, best advice is to stay away from other expats. Most yes most have issues and cannot leave their baggage behind. Just go with the flow, slow down it’s not anything like where you’re from. It’s beautiful and the people are very friendly and polite. We are guests here so act accordingly.
These people are not friendly.
More entitled than any other race.
I spent 10 months in the Philippines from December 2019 to October 2020 in Silang, Cavite. I went through the eruption of Taal and the pandemic which could have been a time to get into trouble but I stayed out of trouble by obeying the laws and other things that we made during the pandemic. There are some expats that live in the subdivision and everyone that I have met there are very friendly and helpful. I'm about a 15 minute drive from Tagaytay and the expats are spread out and there's not a lot of them in the subdivision. I enjoy the guards there because they're very friendly but when needed they do their jobs. I never once had a bad experience and I don't carry an attitude. Actually I enjoy doing things the Filipino way when I'm in the Philippines. I also make sure to be respectful to everyone and I do my best not to make it look like I'm better than anyone else because there's absolutely nothing that makes me better than the next person. I keep my mouth shut and if there's anything that happens like accidentally bumping into someone I say that I'm sorry regardless if they bumped into me. If you get angry don't say anything until you are alone where nobody can hear you or just keep those thoughts to yourself. Most of the time my wife isn't there with me because she's with her family in Bulacan so if I'm going anywhere there's a guy who takes care of our plants that I can go with or I will have friends visit and that way I'm with a person from the Philippines and they can do the talking. It's easy to stay out of trouble but some people prefer doing things the hard way.
You are correct!
@@Marker44 I might have been spending more time in the Philippines back then if I got into trouble but that's not much fun that way. I was raised to be respectful and by God that's the way that I always try to be.
You are correct. Make friends with and hang around and build a good reputation with Filipinos. Stay with your family and live well; do not get involved with all that mess. I am embarrassed for that. But look at our own country and how divided it is, that should be the impetus for avoiding for the most part, other expats.
America is divided over politics Philippines it usually not about U.S politics they seem to be talking about each other . i don't want to see anyone lose a income on u tube they count on or blacklisted with a wife and child who lives in Philippines
@@garrylafferty100 alot should be ban from youtube and the country . world does not need more drama kings are queens .
Filipines is divided over religion take Mindanao As an example
Absolutely

Just found your channel. Great content and presented very well. You are speaking my language. I am like minded as you are. Thanks!
Glad you found us!
I Moved away from Dumaguete because too many Expats Behaving Badly. I prefer to be around Philippinos.
Filipinos are very polite, If you have a bad attitude or loose your temper. It will not help your situation. Dont bring your country with you when you come here, Its different and I believe in a good way. You must accept and adjust to the way of life here.
Well said
That's how some people are that move from the U S mainland will bring their issues, attitudes, baggage, dirty laundry, and innate behaviors to the Philippines and embarrass all of us to where we are stigmatized.
Lets be honest here some filipinos like the bring that out from westerners
One example is a philippine tried to steal my bluetooth speaker
@acw2237 if you were in the USA they would have killed you and then take your blue tooth speaker.😳 Now that's being " honest".
Very Calm and composed man,,kodos nice one
Very good advice for new expats coming to P.I. You said it very well.
Glad you liked it!
Your right i live in Philippine for 4 years no problems no why I respect the people
Have only a few expat friends quality not quantity.
Good advice.Thank You.
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing!!!
My pleasure!!
Great video so true thanks for the positive perspective on expat living .
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing 😇😇new followers from Philippines
Welcome to our channel!
Marker thank you for the video Sir
Very welcome
Just came across your videos a few days ago and found myself laughing, in a respectful manner because your comments reminded me of growing up in our Mother's house. Note that I said "Mother's house". At home she always made it clear that we live in HER house and as such, we had to obey her rules. She made it very clear that when we were grown and in our own place "WE RULE". The same applies to visiting and/or living in a foreign country. We must be respectful of their rules and culture, adapt to the host country.
The second thing that struck me as funny was your talk about living in an around an Expat community. Why would one seek out a new place to live only to settle into an environment / community consisting of a majority of the very types of people you just moved away from. Doing so somewhat denies you many of the experiences of the new culture you are moving into. Granted, you will find some things very different from the culture you left but wasn't that a part of the consideration given in your decision to re-locate? As you stated in this video, even though you are not living in an Expat community, you have still developed friendships with some Expats living in the Philippines. To me, it appears you may have found the "HAPPY MEDIUM" living in your new culture while still retaining some of the amenities from the culture you left behind. Mama always told us that is called "HAVING THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS". Not many people are afforded that opportunity in life. ENJOY IT because when the day ends, you will sleep and awaken tomorrow to a new day. This day will be but a memory in your past to be cherished and remembered, hopefully with a smile.
Thank you very much for the thoughtful comment. We appreciate it!
Stick with positive stuff.
We got the same crap here in the states.
Stay off social media.
Plant a garden, read a book, rebuild a lawnmower engine.
What are the tectonic plates that are causing the earthquakes there. Keep your circle of friends small.
We live in a development in Batangas and I’m pretty sure I’m the only foreigner here. I kind of like it that way. I’ll meet a foreigner in the local supermarket on occasion, but even that is rare.
same here in san Juan Batangas. we do have some foreigners but they never get out, they let their wives go shop. But I am different I get out by myself, go to the market etc. I like joking around with the locals.
I see it as an adventure every trip downtown. I laugh when Filipinos who don’t know my name call me “ Sir Foreigner.”
@@dann547 they call me me hey Joe.
You should have named the title of this video Expats To Be Removed from Dumaguete lots more places to go to then Dumaguete you go there and be part of the soap opera not me i go north of Manila to Pangasinan
I liked all your comments and found you have a great perspective from your vantage point, living there in the Philippines. I’ll travel solo and tend to keep to myself and try to avoid the tourists and melt into the cultural experiences. I’m 68 and naturally going with the flow now days, and don’t like to be a change agent unless I’m asked for my help to get something done, that they are struggling with. 😅❤🙏
Military people who live "on the economy" ... off of the base ... learn to adapt to the local ways. You don't gain anything by involving yourself in the local drama or by commenting on local traditions, religion, politics, foods,etc. This attitudes opens many doors before you even know that that door exists.
Toby Keith sang about small towns. I've lived in a small town country farm community most of my live. My neighbors don't an want talk about me cause they know if i hear about i will do something that they really don't want to talk about. I'm a boomer late boomers the forgotten boomers 1959. We created the streaking thing. Lol so living a place where everyone knows everything is right up my alley. Love you guys enjoy your future endeavors.
Thank you Lyn. Rest in peace, Toby Keith.
Hey Scott, hope all’s well Buddy 😊I’m going again in 2.5 weeks…my short answer to all the shenanigans…don’t get involve with any foreigners in the Philippines 🇵🇭 stay put with your family and some trusted Filipinos 😊Take care.
not all Filipinos can be trust as well best be slow and filter out ppl. been burn alot ppl in philippines from locals and expats just be careful.
Thank you!
you are right about all-and im thinking at 52 years old im only going to protect myself physically only- the old men talking crap dont bother me at all
Thanks for watching!
The Hatfields and the McCoys, coming to a Filipino town near you.
Sensible advice. Enjoyed your commentary. “ When in Philippines do as the Filipinos do” will makes much easier living in the Philippines.
Absolutely
Truth!!! 😂 Your preferences and ours are aligned almost to a T…We have enough intra family drama to keep us busy and entertained being from Las Pinas MM, So we often retreat to our home in San Pablo Laguna where the foreigners and drama are all but nonexistent 😅. Philippines can definitely be frustrating for someone that values structure over chaos, but where’s the fun in that? Bahala na attitude and take it slow! Can’t wait to retire and chill! Only 7 years to go.
Give me chaos! Lol
I hope to retire there eventually. I’ve never been a joiner or extremely social person. I prefer to have a few close friends. I’m not unfriendly. Just will interact in a social way and am wary when people try to befriend me immediately.
Ban the drama kings and queens from vlogging for life
These DRAMA Darlings ( DD ) , Made MANY Of US to " UN- SUB " Them !!!!! HEY'RE NOT ONLY >>> Making THINGS WORSE 4 THEMSELVES But Make ALL EXPATS " LOOK BAD " Due to ACTING Like 14yrY Olds ;(( SAD to SEE ( REPEATEDLY ) the Number Of HATERS ( Mostly THOSE With " LOW SUBs " ) that KEEP GROWING !!!
If you wanna live in the Philippines, keep your foreign friends,
small very small and live your life with your Filipino family and live deep in the Filipino culture. That’s my two cents worth.
CZcams creates a ton of drama, some people there will sell their soul for a few views, instead of just enjoying their life. But you know if there's drama people like to watch a good train wreck. In a few years I plan on moving there to travel around SE Asia and the Philippines to enjoy my retirement. I want my life as drama free as possible.
Best of luck to you with your plans but please stop running with knives lol
@@Marker44LOL, would you believe someone got butt hurt over my channel name?
I try find places to stay with not many foreign guys
best way is keep your friends small and you can trust . everyone can be a drama person local are not.
The seeming increase is only because the drama hits the internet before the last punch is thrown.
Good state of mind advise 👌💯 when in different country. Go with the flow👍
Thanks for watching!
Here in the US, there's many places where if one "assaults" (may be "batters"?) a "Senior Citizen" (65+) then that's another charge, & enhances the sentence quite a bit. Curious if Philippines law gives enhanced sentences if assaulting (battering?) a senior citizen, & at what age cutoff? There is a difference btw "assault" & "battery", so it may be just for "battery", since "assault" can be simply pushing someone w/o causing any injury. "Assault" is so subjective. Most "assaults" are quite petty & cause no bodily injury. "Battery" is when you end up in the hospital.
This happens more in Thailand, Cambodia and the Phillipines Japan or Singapore or Korea has little tolerance for trouble makers It is less likely in Vietnam and Laos also.
Hi I'm New and I'm going to Philippines and I don't have time for drama I want to lurn More about Philippines and see my girlfriend again of 5 Year
best way is keep your friends small and you can trust . everyone can be a drama person local are not.
Good thinking Bruce!
Good luck!
This was a very good video. Iv been saying this eversince !! I go to the Philippines to mix with the filipinos and love there culture i enjoy walking around barangays talking to everyone and the pinoys love it so much that a foreigner is doin that . The less foreigners i see the better lol. Dont go to Philippines to get mixed up with other foreigners you tube nonsense attacking EACHOTHER!! Sum dont belong in PI !! Filipinos are there friendliest people
"mind over beer" the usual cause of troubles... 😵💫
Need to grab crew and Go film for reality TV, 🤣😂🤣😅, Absurd, Yes was told long ago, Only hate will be from other expats, he he he, I think they should be grounded from their Viagra until they can get along, God Bless
Thanks for watching! God bless
I try not to drive their
Ive been able to drive without too many issues.
This is the best and only advice I will give. One is to sit back watch, listen and observe. If they want your help, they will ask but they never do as philipinne people are extremely proud and independent. If you interfere no matter your intentions, you will be the bad guy. Be social and leave your judgement at home. The town idiot may be the barangay captains cousin that you just spoke poorly about. Hence you will be the bad guy. Never ever make a comment on politics. As much as you think you know, you really don't. This is key to your survival is to hold your tongue. It's really difficult, but you will be ok if you comment on a forum like youtube or redditt under a fictitious name. Live wherever you wish but always hold you information close to the vest. Anything you say will be used against you
You'll have people that love you to death and you will always have haters as well. Don't dwell on it. Most of all good luck.
I never hang around other foreigners, if I did, why leave home.
No need for drama duma likes their drama
I think some of these bloggers are pretty low income and depend on their CZcams revenue and therefore will post most any thing they think will attract hits and thus increase their income.
We live in a small city, which blends into other larger cities. However, It's so rare to see an expat or foreigners. I might have seen 5 in the past 10 year period. Our community knows me, we have our parades and fiestas etc. We help when we can, especially during floods since our 1st floor is 12" high solid concrete foundation and the home is 3 stories high. We built it over 10 years ago for $60K, paid cash - 5br, 5ba and 2 kitchens. We are blessed. Thankful for our community and friends that are true friends for life!
From what I have seen of some channels those guys never grew into adults. Last thing I want to see is another fellow American.
I have never been to the Philippines but i have thought about it.
I dont understand what drama is being discussed here.?
What is all of this drama?
Are we talking about rowdiness in public in a foreign country?
💯💯💯🤍🤍🤍
WHAT - - - ? - - - do you mean - ? - the same problem of - "why can't we all just get along" - ended up over there ??? --- How could - 'THAT' - happen ??? --- I wonder ??? 🤔 😁
Gossip exists in foreign circles as well as Filipino circles.
Finally, at 13:09 you get to the point.
Thanks for watching!
I watch just to get a kick out of these immature dudes who go there to hook up with a young chick....feeds her whole family and when money is all gone ...them chicks kick them to the curb lol.
Dudes who go from cities or towns ....with a decent life and go live in a slump...it funny.
Well they got them chicken and pigs to look after lol
Tim K is a mess. So insulting.
I watch these videos cuz I'm 45yr old retired army veteran and I'm ready to take a few years traveling on a ok budget as a semi recent widower a wife is not almost a option not again but the men talking about other men like high school girls is. So confusing to me.Have a fight night once a week or month put on some boxing gloves or kick box what ever cuz I'm sorry men should punch another man in face if there's a problem after fight get a beer together and end it. or he'll you might make a buddy after you fight and if your not healthy enough ,Shut the bell up or be a jerk were your origin copy from.my old brain is having trouble learning Thai language and the guy,s your talking about have turned me off the Philippines and I've never been,thanks for speaking about this because I truly don't get it and I'm glad some one is hoping to stop the bull spit,but with China looming Philippines shouldn't be seeing there would be allies acting like clowns,SORRY so long but glad someone's calling for the Puckett to end your in paradise if you can't enjoy it why be there anyway. G!ad I found this thank you....
