In my opinion, these are the main reasons why a lot of western people retire in the Philippines. Let's see the positive side of retiring here.

I did retire in the Philippines, I've been here 3 days already ❤🎉😊
LOL man, that's awesome! How are you liking it so far? It's a learning curve for sure, but you'll find peace here and the people are by FAR the best.
Good for you, living the dream! How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
you experienced your first black out yet lol
@@garrylafferty100 been here a month and yup sure did but it’s okay because solar energy is a requirement so I wasn’t left in the dark lol
Congratulations. What city did you pick and how do you find the people and cultural shock
In 2019 I retired and settled in the Philippines. It was after a lot of research and travel to 18 countries. I am here on the SRRV (Special Resident Retiree's Visa). I am happy here and I will stay here permanently. I chose to retire here because the weather is nice, the people are friendly, I pay zero tax on my foreign income and there is xenophilia here (love of foreigners). Which is the exact opposite of the xenophobia I faced in the USA and Canada.
what city in PH do you reccomend???👍🏻🤝
@@kafzetarepticuliesh428 Bonifacio Global City (BGC), if you can afford it.
Q1
I am an American male, living in Washington DC and I like the Filipino culture. I have worked with many Filipino people in my home city of Washington DC and I like Filipino people.
Most expats will tell you American will ruin a good Filipina if she is ruined she will ruined in Philippines also once she got foreigner money
After being connected to Filipinos for nearly 30 years, I’ve concluded that your average Filipino families are winners. It’s a generalization and there’s losers too. I’m just saying that when compared to most people, theses folks are cool, very cool. They make good friends, spouses and side kicks ( the type of person to take with you for any occasion). They are very funny and I never get bored with them either.
I'll be retiring in Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao in a few years. It's got pretty much everything you just outlined: beaches, mountains, a thriving urban scene with malls and restaurants, and the rural life is just a short ride away
I have made a few brief visits to the Philippines over the past 11 years but this current visit is my longest yet and almost three weeks. I have commented on this in another of your videos already so please forgive me for repeating, but I have so many great interactions everyday with ordinary Filipinos it make me look forward to getting up in the morning and heading out! There are many countries with friendly people and SE Asia is my favourite region of the world in this regard - but PH is in a class of its own. Amazing! So I think more and more that I will move here permanently. Thanks for this video. Oh yeah, and you are right about the scuba diving. I did it for the first time here, an assisted dive with just myself and the instructor for 45 minutes - I was crying in my mask - the underwater world blew my mind. Breathtaking - which is a scary thing when you are 10 meters under water!!
@@Rubeauti 🥵
@@Rubeauti I've puked underwater, the fish swarm to eat it, making you puke even more. Just be careful not to inhale water. Some puke in the regulator, but now way 🥺
@@Rubeauti I ate too much between dives, something didn't agree with my stomach. Perhaps it was the Ginger snap cookies? Real ginger helps you combat sea-sickness.
Thank you Brian for this insight
I'm living/learning through your experience....where can I read more
@@thedolphinDog Hey thanks for the nice comment. I have been thinking about writing a book for ages full of my travel stories but I never seem to get around to actually writing it because I am too busy travelling, haha. I will try harder. All the best.
Rebeauti you make it so tempting
I’m hoping to visit this winter and I am very interested in what you have to say
Keep up the great information
Thank you very much
@@Rubeauti if I could find a pretty Filipina like you, I would definitely move there! 😍
My goal retiring in the PI is to live a DRAMA FREE life. I've watched 100's of expat video's and one thing stood out. The retired expats especially with large age gap who became seriously involved with a young PI women ended up with boat loads of DRAMA. My goal is to avoid any serious female relationships. Casual dating relationships are just fine BUT, if you move a girl into your residence you are asking for drama. I'm just getting to damn old to put up with ANY drama. I'm looking for a quiet peaceful life style in the PI until the end comes and I move from this life to eternity.
A quiet, peaceful life without drama is my goal as well. That'll come right after I check off Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat off the bucket list.
That is why I am going to be with my older Filipina. I am 67, she is 59, and never had children. Lives in the province, in Guihulngan
I was this close to retiring in The Philippines but now I have decided to retire in Portugal instead, only because of the new law that clearly states that if a Filipina as much as even tells the police that you mistreated her or tried to abuse her or fought with her or tried to cheat her, they (the police) will immediately arrest you and the judge will give you a lengthy jail time. Yes! This is the new law in Philippines. There is no appeal whatsoever.
So, by virtue of this new rule, you are basically at the mercy of a Filipina - be it your wife, your girlfried or just a hooker. Be very very careful of Filipinas, guys. If you want to have a peaceful retiment, do some research on Google. Two excellent options (far better than The Philippines) are Portugal and Thailand. Both these amazing countries have stable electricity, stabe internet, low crime rate and awesome weather, delicious cuisine and low monthly expenditure. Portugal is particularly attractive because you are suddenly at a stone's throw from all the beautiful European countires. Thailand has amazing beaches and the cuisine is just too good. The Thai people are very polite and respectful.
Make an informed decision. Be wise.
@@steveperyer4850 Thanks for mentioning older Filipina. I'm close to your age and agree with you. Older Filipina are a far better choice then some young girl who has zero life experience. Personally I'm done with any serious relationships with women of any age. But that's just me after a failed 22 year marriage. I have zero desire to have a live-in women. I enjoy my freedom to do as I please without the input of a live-in partner. BUT I do wish you all the best as you've made the best choice to make you happy. We both have limited time left and must do what makes us happy. My brother-in-law just passed away at age 68. It was a real shock and reminded me to do whatever makes me happy and fulfilled.
@@allahkimakichoot Portugal is a beautiful country BUT my meager retirement budget prevents me from living there. Thailand was my first choice UNTIL they changed expat rules. Definitely not as expat friendly as they were over 3 years ago. Can you post this new law so I can bring it to my attorney's attention. One thing about the PI is sometimes they enforce laws on the books and sometimes they don't. I've watched many men on Raffy Tulfo channel where Filipina accuse them of abuse BUT they aren't in JAIL.
I'm in my mid-twenties so the thought of retirement is a long way from my current train of thought. With that being said the Philippines and Mexico are two locations that have been on my mind. I've been to Mexico a few times but haven't arrived in the Philippines yet. Later on, this year I'll be able to pop that cherry!
There is no killing and lawlessness ln the Philippines as it is in Mexico. That alone is enough reason to eliminate Mexico as an option for me.
Go to Thailand at least once
Put back 10% of your paycheck every single week & NEVER TOUCH IT. MORE IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT
I also heard the Philippines has a Official Apple Store!📱😃👍🏻🇵🇭
I've never been to the Philippines, but I'm sure the prices at the Apple Store, if there is one, are much higher than they are here in the States. That's not a condemnation. That's just what I've observed from my Filipina. It's not a deal-breaker for me though. I'm still going to make the Philippines my retirement home. 😅
@@terryashley4674 Yes! True… I guess if you live in the Philippines full time (as your home) then a Apple Store in the Philippines is still very convenient even if prices may be higher then back in the states. You don’t have to fly back to the states or purchase from a 3’rd party. Does the Philippines, have BestBuy Store for Electronics?. 😊👍🏻
@@christopherhouse7937 I've never been to the Philippines before, but I doubt if there is a Best Buy there.
Hi Rubeauti very good video. I will be landing in Manila July 6 just in time for lunch. Many of the reasons you mention are why I am retiring there. I have been 3 times and only seen a very small portion of the Philippines so I am excited to get there to start my next adventure in life. Maybe I will even run into you somewhere in my travels. Looking so lovely as always. Keep smiling and stay safe.
You're videos are very informative. such a beautiful intelligent woman you are 👍👍 i have learned more from your videos than any other videos I have seen.... thank you 🙏
Just started planning for my retirement in 6 1/2 years. Looks like the islands are calling me. See you there maybe. Just subscribed !!
I just returned from 3 weeks in Manila and can say that the people are very nice. My favorite thing was seeing my fiance and her daughter. Some things I especially liked were the courteous and friendly people, attending Victory Church, the tasty fresh foods, uptown BGC area, the market, and the security that was present everywhere. Bohn Chon and Andokes were a few favorite places I liked to eat and my most favorite desert was the egg tart from Lord Stow's bakery. I wish we had security like the Phillipines in the states. Lord knows we could use it. I also wish I could buy egg tarts here. Really! You have to try them.
The only negative thing I experienced, but was only a few times, were taxis trying to overcharge because I was American. My fiance was upset a few times with taxi drivers doing that, but like I said, it wasn't every taxi driver. Some were most excellant and represented the Phillipines very well. The culture of respect, valuing marriage and family, Christianity, and a general sense of pride in doing things well were and are most attractive to me.
I married a Filipina in 2020, we are currently building a residential house in Polomolok. Nothing compares to the Philippines....
I thought you werent aloud to own land as a foreigner?
Good luck! I was able to retire early in my 40s I bounce between the Philippines and Thailand. The Philippines is the best and the people are the nicest I have ever met.
Wow you paint a real seduction to retire in Philippines. I was stationed there when I was in the navy. I fell in love with the Philippines and with Filipina. What a great time. First time away from home living and enjoying the Philippines. I still go back as often as I can. I have relatives there who are very close. If someone wants to retire there I would say good choice. Just make sure you have enough money. Enjoy and accept the people and the country. Don’t try to make it like where you came from. Great video
its hard to adjust here for a westerner. lots of paperwork to fill out paperwork. customer service is very poor, especially in restaurants. Driving is difficult and crazy, even dangerous. Hotels may not have hot water at all. However, if you adjust to that - it's a beautiful place to live - just need time to adjust.
one of the best places to retire.. if you can afford it.. the people are wonderful .. if you have a problem,, they will help you.. been to a lot of the islands.. the people are different but the same.. always happy, smiling and willing to help..
Hi Rubeauti. A nice list of good things about the Philippines. Your presentation was very well done. And your outfit looks great also. Well done. Keep up the good work and always remember to take a few minutes for yourself. Be safe.
Amazing stuff my friend. Take them to Baguio as what a nice place to get away from the heat and experience. My wife is from there. It will be a great place for those from the north places in USA.
Love your channel. Very informative. Your delivery is easy to understand.
I plan to visit later this year, with my friends that are from the Bacolod area.
Thanks sister . I’m looking at Tarlac province for starters . A little less crowded than Manila and fresh air
The Filipino people are the most friendly and hospitable in the world. It is not just because of the attractive younger females but all the people that I've met are super nice to me and make me feel at home.

I saw your cameo in the video, lol.
You haven’t posted in 5 months, what’s up?
@@100bluegreen5 I am just living life in the Philippines - and looking for a new co-host. haha

"it is a country full of exotic things too see and experience" - Rubeauti if you were not talking about Pinays then you should have been as they truely are exotically beautiful much like yourself. So many good points that you have raised with English being very high on the list. Thank you again for this informative video where you point out many of the positives of visiting and/or living in the Philippines.
@@Rubeauti you're dressed very nicely in this video and present yourself in a very feminine an professional manner. congratulations
I'm thankful to be retired and living in the Philippines especially during these bad times happening all through the world. I see videos come up on CZcams how times are getting very bad and expensive in the USA. I live a simple life here in the Philippines with very few expenses and survive easily on my monthly retirement. I use solar on my house and also have a vegetable garden to help keep expenses lower.
I’m really happy you made in the Philippines 🇵🇭 please can you tell us your roughly monthly expenses? Thanks
@@marclapinff2709 I'm single, I spend $600 per month. I don't penny pinch. I have a nice two bedroom apt, $150/ month. I bought a small motor cycle for $1500. I drive all over because I'm an outdoor type. I shop at the market and make much of my own food. I'm kind of a amateur chef. At times, when I have a gf, she cost about an extra $200/month to keep. Not much of a drinker. I have fiber broadband and cell. I live full life. Recently I drove out to Barcelona fishing village and hung out with the locals at a Sari Sari store drinking a beer. In a few weeks, I'll go back and rent a cottage on the water and chill by my self. I'm an introvert, so I'm good with my own company and my Kindle or I might consider bringing a date. Usually most women get in my way and can't hang with me, so I usually plan alone.
Thanks for the super great video. I Love the Philippines and have been going there for 8 years. Providence life is for me... Samar.. Ya'll are so sweet compared to other places in the world. Thank you......❤❤❤❤
I found your channel last night and now I'm a subscriber. Let's see what else you've uploaded. 🤗
I don’t know anything about you but I can say this for sure. You are absolutely gorgeous young lady.
Good presentation 👍 I still might retire there! Wish it wasn’t so hot and humid though
it is now Mike ugh. even after a strong rain, its so humid
What a wonderful and informative video! Very interesting on numerous subjects!
I was in the Navy and getting ready to go WestPac (back when the US had a base in Subic). We were doing a onload for the freezer myself and three Filipinos, I'm from Maine. They came in with winter jackets gloves and hats and were shivering huddling up to one another because of the cold, we were working in the freezer that stays at 0 degrees Fahrenheit, I was in my regular work uniform. A half hour later I was down to a t-shirt because of sweating and had ice in my hair, they were still together huddling for warmth, I knew that to keep warm you have to move and did pretty much the entire onload myself but I was okay with that, I did feel sorry for them though. That's what happens when you live in a climate where three months of the year it rarely gets above freezing.
Good info 👍 ty can't wait to get there . Beautiful as always
We will be coming back from Vancouver Canada to our beautiful city of San Fernando, Pampanga permanently this October. After spending January and February there this past winter I love the place.
Hi
New subscriber here
Just wanna say your videos are awesome keep up the good work
I am coming over to the Philippines 🇵🇭 in the next couple of months and cannot wait
Your videos are fun upbeat and informative
Also helps that your beautiful too ❤️🤣
salamat po for sharing pugay po from Brazil mabuhay.....
As usual great info. By the way, you are an amazing dresser. Very classy.
It's not $10K USD dear, it's $20K USD that you have to deposit in Philippine bank as part of SSRV. It's only a $10K USD deposit if you choose the tier that involves making an investment (either purchasing a condo or entering into a long term lease agreement for a home and lot having a >$50K USD value). If you want to just retire in the Philippines without having to buy a condo or make such an early commitment to a lease, you have to plop down a cool $20K USD. There are also initial fees involved, costing around $2K USD, and every two years you have to re-up your registration at a cost of just under $400 USD.
Hello Beauty. Thank you. Great videos. Very informative.
I’m in my 30’s and already thinking of retiring early in the Philippines through passive income I have here as a landlord. I will first visit weeks at a time over a year and see if it’s for me. A vocation in paradise for the rest of my life sounds like a dream 🤩.
you cannot get a retirement visa until you reach age 50
Hi I just watched one of your videos it was very good. I loved what you had to say, I’m from the United States. And plan on getting my 13A Visa to move there permanently. I plan on moving and hoping to marry a pretty Filipino woman. I love the Philippines I love everything about the Philippines. But there are many bad things about the Philippines also. There are so many single Filipino women with children and married Filipino women because their Filipino boyfriend or husband has left them. So many stories. I have also noticed that a Filipino woman if they marry an older man can be so ridiculed and pretty much mentally tortured by her own relatives in her family.!! Being called a Golddigger, and many other things from her own family. That is kind of sad.. is it wrong for a Filipino woman to want happiness and love even if the man is older.!! I personally could easily marry a woman with children. I love children, I am a single parent and I have a 12-year-old daughter and a 14 year old son and I am a man and I take care of them myself.. I guess my point is no matter what culture you will always find differences, I have not been to the Philippines yet but it is my dream to come. I am learning to speak Tagalog and Basaya.. and truly Filipino people are wonderful beautiful people but you will find bad and good everywhere and I think the only thing that I have discovered is how bad a Filipino can be treated from her own family…
@@builtnotboughtmadeinphilip3955 LDR can work however spend some good time with her in Philippines . 1 year on a webcam can tell you a lot about a prospect my case met her family on line. Paul got scammed a few time just showing up or no connection before he met Mae good one are not easy to find it happens when you least expect it.
See Critter Hunter if you want to dive around Manila . And remember to always breathe while underwater diving.
Yes Filipino women are kind ,beautiful clean and will help you.
I received an SRRV retirement visa in 2015…best thing I ever did. I live in Panglao, Bohol….I have the best friends ever there…I love it in so many ways. Rubeauti are you still single?
You are very knowledgeable , thanks for your insight. Also thanks for welcoming us.
Thank you for posting Rebeauti. You answered a lot of my questions
Good informational video! I plan to retire there as soon as possible. Thanks for all the info! Take care Rebeauti🤪
Make sure that your finances are in place. Meet someone closer to your age and that she is also financially independent and not fully rely on you for her or her family's livelihood.
Marry someone around 20 years difference- at least 8-9-10 that does not gossip-not insanely jealous-does not look at her phone more than she looks at you-make sure have a state or federal pension for life and leave her something before you die
Thanks nice video
Even if most things are cheap i tend to spend a lot, probably because it becomes a holiday lifestyle 😅
i heard your new government is going back to English,.. i think its great.. English is spoken all over the world in one form or another.. hopping it makes its way down to Mindanao..
Good video Rubeauti very informative keep up the good content 😎
I've already been to Luzon( lived there for 4 years) . I'd like to see Visayas and Mindanao. I'm hoping my pension will be enough to live and base somewhere, and possibly take monthly trips to other areas.
I lived in Baybay, Leyte for 4 years. Nice place. Dumaguete looks nice now days
@@dave-d-grunt The only problem with Dumaguete is there seem to be a lot of expats locating there now.
Hey Tarl,,,, when my house sells i will i will be doing the same thing.
Hello Rubeauti You did a great job of promoting your Country :) I have travelled all over the Philippines and its all just beautiful , but I do love the area around Vigan City I love the very old style even going North of there to Locos Norte places like Laoag City and Pagudpud there is so much to see and the prices are a lot cheaper if people are on a lower budget. Pangasinan as you said very nice I do spend quite a lot of time there I have friends in Tayug nice countryside there a nice location to live. . Thanks as alway great video take care .
I wrote all these places down. Hope to see them for myself once I get settled in. 👍🏽
@@terryashley4674 Its a wonderful Country if you are 60+ you can get 20% off most bus travel also hotels and a lot of the restaurants but you do have to ask most of the time my Canadian driving licence is good enough .I have been going to the Philippines for 20 yrs now .
@@shaunmckenna1923 Thanks for the heads-up, Shaun. I'm over 60, but didn't know about any senior discounts. 👍🏽
@@terryashley4674 If you have any other questions just send me a msg if I can help I will.
Thank you , very informative, I'm thinking about retiring there as well😊
Great video, a lot of good information. I have been to the Philippines a few times for vacations and have enjoyed my visits there. I'm getting closer to retirement age and the Philippines is on my list of places outside of the U.S. that I would consider. I would probably live in the mountains where it is a little cooler. Maybe you can do a video of good places in the mountains to live.
Things are changing. Middle class is slowly eroded all around. People have less and less money to carry to retirement. Maybe it is a good thing for Philippines because what could mean a decent life in the Philippines, is a struggle at the edge of poverty in the west. Million dollars is just pocket money soon enough.
well said, Tero... that's why I stopped swimming against the western current and just said F* it. Work your a$$ off for 30 years to just to have ONE health crisis and your retirement is gone. NOT playing the game anymore. I love it here... the quality of my life is more important than the quantity.
@@tmb3131
You nailed it .
WTF are u talking about “ people in the West are struggling“ 😳⁉️ Compared to the Philippines?
@@Rubeauti i’m sorry, but you are being misinformed! The per capita income of any strata/segment of society in “the West” far exceeds that in the Philippines
@@Rubeauti The average male salary in the USA is $37,000 per year. In the Philippines the average male salary is $6000 per year!
Okay, I've lived different places in USA. The hot weather is like Houston, New Orleans, Mississippi. If you're from those areas, it is the same summer weather, hot and sticky.
I am retired in Austira, because it is a wonderful country, Think Philippines is also nice, but i not like the warm weather. But wish all people who want retired in Asia all best and much hapiness.
Good information for me, will go there in october for at least 4 months to see how it is, start in Manila maybe one week then i dont know but open to much🙂
Location: 3:22
The moment you land in the country, you will be greeted warmly at the airport, at the hotel, at the restaurant and just about everywhere you go. You will be given much attention and care. You will really feel welcome here, guys.
What Rubeauti said above is ABSOLUTELY TRUE - provided you are white. YES! Like how white people have the yellow fever, Filipinas have the Milk Fever. Trust me, if you land at the airport and you happen to be a black person or a brown person (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Middle Eastern) or a Chinese or Burmese or Thai etc, you will not get more than a glance. Filipinas are like vultures who patiently wait for white meat (and white sperm) because if they land even a white grandfather husband from US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ or any rich European country, there's a definite chance that the Filipina will get a white baby that has blue/green eyes, straight nose and good height. By marrying a white man, she is also ensured that he will take care of her parents, her 10,000 siblings and 100,000 cousins, aunts, uncles, members of her extended family and even neighbors. Her status in the Filipino society is suddenly elevated by at least a 1000 notches and then there's this age factor too. Every Filipina, regardless of how childish and silly and vulnerable she acts in front of you, is extremly shrewd and conniving. She knows very well that her grandfather husband has only so many years to live and if she plays her cards right, she can, (no, she will) be a very rich woman in the near future.
Be very very careful guys. Don't fall prey to golddiggers.
@Allahki Makichoot, my legal irrevocable will in the US already has my 2 boys has the legal beneficiary of my bank accounts and 401k. If I die the party is OVER.for any girl with me in the PI. So she better take good care of me and keep me alive as LONG as possible. LOL
Thank u so much for your input man
Don't Marry anyone, have Girlfriends that way you can drop them first sign of trouble.
Thank you, for giving us your thoughts and background, Rebeauti :)
You do a great work. Like your videos beacouse it give so much info. Thanks your time take cure.🙂
Super informative!...Thank you Rubi!... 🙂
So true and why I have lived here 15 yrs.
So much good information you managed to give in this video for potential retirees Rubeauti, well done.
Many men, not all obviously, will go there for the women or girls there who are a massive upgrade on Western women. Their beauty, caring nature and happy personality is very attractive as is their femininity.
When restrictions are lifted, I plan to live there for six months initially, and six months in Uk. Then I’ll decide whether to move there permanently. The West is really going down hill fast nowadays.
@@Rubeauti Thanks, yes I’ve stayed for 6-8-10 weeks before but always travelling around. I’m not sure I can stay in one place permanently. I love going to new places, whether that’s towns / cities or islands.
Rubeauti- That's a cute outfit you're wearing in this video. 🙂
I was in Alaska for 3 years and North Dakota for 4 where it gets down to 40-60 BELOW 0 and yes TONS of snow. I would be interested in retiring in a place that's more provincial, with a city somewhat close by, maybe 30 minutes drive away for more shopping opportunities, a non-touristy place with as few foreigners as possible. I've been around foreigners all my life, going there would be for a change, and how am I going to learn about the people and culture if I'm just around foreigners that I've always been around. Hopefully lucky enough to find that one special angel to settle down, relax, enjoy the little things in life, and make memories together.
If someone is on a pension already or barely getting by in their own country, the likelihood they have an extra $10,000 (Is it actually $10K DOLLARS or Pesos?) laying around to deposit into a bank there isn't very high, and from what I've heard, they can't withdraw the money ever, even after getting a permanent Visa.
If you have a Pension that's paid into a Bank Account, like from the UK, converted into Peso in the UK and you withdraw Peso each month, the Bank takes out "Withholding Tax" every few months, so you pay a Tax and of course a VAT of 12% on much of what you buy or eat too and a 12% VAT on your Electric Bill and Internet Bill too. Thanks.
My dream life will be a beach 🏝 house 🏡 and when I want a cooler day ,, have a rest place in the mountains 🏔 for cooler weather ,,,
Yes, world famous for being friendly people, no question. Filipinos are indeed special. However, we still should keep in mind the reality that Filipinos are still humans. "Friendly" is a relative rating. Foreigners are still foreign...visitors. Just as a Filipino in the US will often be greeted and treated well, they will also experience prejudice and be looked down on by many people too. A foreigner in PH is seen as a source of money. A foreigner will pay higher prices whenever there is an opportunity. So yes, absolutely you will get a smile as you hand over that foreigner tax. This is the same as in the US. When Arabs, Japanese, Canadians in the past brought a lot of property in the US they were treated very well because they were paying higher prices for property.
A foreigner in a traffic wreck is almost always be expected to pay the other party no matter who's fault. And the amount you will pay will be much higher as a foreigner.
Everything is cheaper in PH...Nope. Not even close. A US renter moving to PH will find much cheaper rent. But a US homeowner won't be allowed to own land in PH so will have to pay rent instead of gaining appreciation in the US. But units in PH have a lower value too. In the US you may pay a little more for rent but you won't have rude neighbors playing loud karaoke at all hours, the endless dog barking, roosters crowing. smoke from burning leaves and trash or at least you can have the local government step in to get a rude neighbor to stop. AND rent is cheaper in PH ONLY if you compare it to rents in popular US locations. There are many places in the US with rents in the $300-400 range which is about the same for the same type of place in PH. As they say, Manila isn't cheaper....because it's more like the US in infrastructure, medical and with rules against some noise level and burning trash. Apples to apples.
Food is the same price or higher in PH. Even things like bananas are about the same price....plus the foreigner tax.
This is just how humans work.
You're not gonna find rent anywhere you wanna live in one single place in the USA for double to triple 300 to 400 a month. No way. Give me even one and I'll gladly send you 400.
I will agree with you about the noise. One advantage of Indonesia is the only place you'd find barking dogs was Bali.
You can buy property. Just find a filipina that will put up with your highly cynical point of view. 😝
How many decades ago were Arabs, Japanese, and Canadians paying more for property? Definitely wasn't anytime I can remember. If you truly are being looked down on for be a foreigner, I'd bet anything it's because of your really cynical way of looking at others. I've traveled a lot of places....not the Philippines yet. I've been to other countries in SE Asia though, and I have to say that I've felt more animosity in one trip to Walmart than all my travels. Considering the Philippines is considered the friendliest....I doubt my white azz will have a problem. Cheer up grumpy....you'll enjoy your travels more. 😃
Or next to a Crack house in the inner city David. It's not possible in the USA . Not even close.
Thank you for the video. I like your outfit, it suits you well.
Nice information 👌
Okay 👌, okay, 🙂, I'm thoroughly convinced that the Philippines is the place I must give myself the opportunity to explore & enjoy. Rubeauti, everything you shared is very helpful and persuasive. Thank you so much for all your commentary and vital breakdowns. I'm enjoying your channel very much 🙂
There is my beautiful princess. I hope my future wife is having an amazing day. You look lovely as always ❤️. It’s always a great day when you release a video. The island I want to visit is the one you are on. Then we can take our time and visit all the other ones 😘.
I am like you, I hate the cold, as far as I am concerned going somewhere with snow is only fir a holiday, not to live there, where I live here in Australia it is too cold, but it is no where near cold enough for snow

Everywhere has its downside, keep your financials to yourself, don't attract unnecessary attention.
You heard right dear !!!!

Love your channel and your smile 😊
Such a beautiful lady. Near perfection.
Hmmm interesting - i need to find out how much tax the Government would charge if i buy condos and rent them out as a source of income and if they would class that as a 'regular' income to look at an SRRV in the future, I didn’t know that was also a requirement. Thanks, good video (there’s always a catch...lol).
Foreigners can’t own property. You would have to have someone you trust buy it, like a Filipina wife
You need to contact the BIR
Thats sounds awesome! Thank you again sweetheart!! Love u!!
You have a nice smooth gentle voice smiling
You look terrific!!
It is not what we have in the bank but what our income is.
Thank you Hermosa for sharing your CZcams video 😘❤️😘❤️🌹😘❤️😘🌹😘🥵
My friend has a girlfriend there he met online and she is very nice to him and gas good advice on anything they talk about together.
You show a very idyllic life there Rubeauti! I do quite like the change of seasons here though, Winter is mild in the UK compared to places like Canada and Scandinavia but it doesn't last long and spring is very beautiful. You missed the most important point though, the ladies are so beautiful in the Philippines! Stay well lovely Rubeauti and thank you for your great videos! ❤🥰
@@Rubeauti we can see for ourselves when we see you 😉🌸❤❤
thank you that was very informative Rubeauti take care
You are so beautiful and have great insights. Thank you for your vlogs and beautiful heart.
One thing I say often is more life for less money. :)
Nice job Ru! I can see you are getting better in front of the camera...
