Nice diversity of guest, its cool to hear a locals story of why he loves PH after also living abroad. Australia is the same with the over zealous rules that keep growing each year. The end result is being touted as a mass exodus of youth. There will be a contingency of wealthy that stay, there will also be a mass of extremely pissed off people that stay or too unfortunate to be able to leave.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 😀
I know ive had enough.. I was in the Philippines this year and I really enjoyed it I like the different way of life so I can't wait to go back hopefully this summer again with my brother we had such a great time we like scuba diving and I love good food and found it all their along with great service... all at an affordable price lol
@@sagora3114 The beautiful thing is you can also bounce around other nearby countries which offer similar benefits. Which avoids Visa issues and you can also visit home its not a complete disconnection of the cord so to speak, just spending more time enjoying life and looking for new opportunities.
@dlvau yes mate exactly we'll said that's how I feel I should have been doing it sooner I guess I'm more open minded now and older and wiser which all helps
@@sagora3114 No time like the present as they say.... Just build up a passive or active income you can do while on the laptop and your freedom is granted. Mark talks about this alot, so many ways, some better than others.
Wow, i enjoyed this interview. This is a story where you can really say that GOD is good all the time and all the time GOD is good. You are soooo filipino now by the looks of it but also acts like one- relaxed, chilled , laid back and happy.. Happy for you but you have to be good to your family now as a show of gratitude to God.
i am a lola, filipino american too, now living in baguio
.while it is black and white i terms of law enforcement in america, one thing so wrong here in p.i. is bribery. there is a slack of law enforcement in some way here.
Born and raised Filipino-American here in Florida (coincidentally my parents are from outside of Baguio (La Trinidad). I can say that here in America, our government and law enforcement can be bought as well. The amount of influence big corporations and political agenda has in the US government is astounding.
I am a Filipino American, born and raised in California. Retired, divorced veteran, don’t speak Filipino. I travelled solo last year to the Philippines to apply for my SRRV. I learned a lot from watching CZcams videos by expats in the Philippines. My goal is to move there and enjoy my retirement years.
Same here brother. Born and raised in California. Fil-Am and U.S. Army Reserves 2x. Divorced too. I was thinking about the courtesy SRRV too, but I don't know.
Same here. Born and raised in SF Bay Area. I force myself to learn a little Tagalog so I can communicate with my “Lola” when I visit every 2 years. So proud to be a Fil-Am .. in a couple years I’ll be thinking long term or 6 months here and 6 months there. These videos are so helpful on how to navigate the process. 🏝️🇵🇭
Welcome home po
@@TarikSolimanX Yes as a veteran you’re eligible to apply for the SRRV. I applied for the expanded courtesy. Did certain documents in the states and the rest in Makati. Get an agent to assist you, they’re free.
@@sallyfromcali9190 That’s my plan to spend some time here in the states and some in the Philippines for now. Maybe I’ll make the islands permanent when I hit my 70’s. Care in the states is expensive but more affordable in the Philippines.
Great interview, Mark, quality guest, no BS, terrific job by both if you. Blessings to Lance and Mark and both of your families.
Thank you. Your comment made my day
Best Wishes Lance! Thanks Mark! Love to the family 💝
Lance is a likeable guy, and so are you Mark. Bob. NZ.
Thank you 😊
Good luck and best wishes Lance! Thanks Mark. From L.A. Fil-Am. Soon to retire there in Phil’s.
An interesting interview! Thank you
a very interesting story respect to him for telling it not everybody wants to be open about a shady past.
Wow! Awesome interview 👍👍Thanks for sharing this video guys 👏👏👏🇵🇭
Great interview… really nice guy 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Im a Filipino American John ,that’s one bad thing if you’re not American citizen here doing some some bad things specially Felony and some bad stuff, they gonna deported you afterwards, that’s what happened to one of my cousin he got deported after he finished his sentence, it’s not really good for my own opinion, a lot of people are dying to come to America you know what I mean it’s a land of Opportunity, for me I’ll be back when I retire soon cuz my heart still in my homeland Philippines, and I want to make sure will be ready for a good retirement when I get back. Watching from Chicago 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇵🇭🇺🇸
Great interview, I enjoyed his perspective.
So glad you liked it 😊
Amazing conversation for you both.
Super good interview. Gives other people hope who are struggling all over.
I've got a friend who has been to the US because all his family are in there. He got involved in gangs and different vices was involved in crimes in the US until he was deported. Unfortunately when he was deported from the US his vices in drugs was on its worst. 5 years after he died here in the Philippines due to complications.
During the American times- 1900-1941 -most all Filipinos spoke conversational English. As the US army returned in 1944-45, US troops rarely needed interpreters as most of the Filipino guerillas and locals spoke English.
Great genre for so many of us , i personally love the topic of income generation online whilst in the Philippines , its inspirational to see the new life it brings to the Likes of Lance and Gary for example. Those two videos were two of the most inspirational for me as a subscriber.
Best bits are when the show guest open up about there personal journey whilst in pursuit of an online income . That last bit is what gives hope to others simply because we can relate to it. Maybe one of you guys will catch the vision for what im sharing.
Mark, really great story and video. There is a lot of great information here. 👏🏻 A beautiful story of a 2nd chance in life.’
Nice story........ Thank you.... Yes Believe in god. First..... Right desisyon... Always blessful.......
Haha thats cool, i was in Quezon City last year... used the Jeepny to get to my gf's from Robinsons Fairview lol 😆 small world and interesting story! 👍
He has a nice story and honest about it
I like the perspectives you have there in your exchange/interview. Well grounded and honest views.
Thank you 😊
Good interview, very different from other expat interviews
Great interview!
Great Video Mark. Thanks for bringing to our attention
I'd happily volunteer (getting deported to the PH)
Super happy guy. Has seen the bad and the good side of life. Seems to love his family
He's right about China not being happy with the US bases right on their doorstep, how would the US like it if Mexico agreed to host Chinese military bases along the Southern border? China still remembers their 100 years of humiliation, maybe they think it's time to show them some respect?
Before the CCP rebranded the years of shame to “Years of Humiliation” as a tool to deflect foreign criticism, issues of corruption, bolstering its territorial claims and general economic and political rise, after all China has no legitimate claim of Tibet except to illegally exploit resources just like it would do to the PI.
A CCP society that teaches its children to live in a state of perpetual butthurt, over the years of shame is an extremely sad way of existence.
US or China? No brainer. When was the last time anybody interviewed a Chinese tourist? Filipinos sing Chinese songs beautifully? Never! $ or Yuan? China already stole Philippine reefs and human trafficking and drugs. Chinese don’t think filipinos or non Han are equal in statue.
Good job.
inspiring story Lance☺️
I will be retiring soon, but I will hitting down south to Guatemala . Weather perfect for me, Hot dry days and cool nights. There is No need for AC. People are mostly attentive and Caring , I assume same as Philippines actually people talk you and greet as you pass by. I live North Carolina and is just another American town . Neighbors do not necessarily acknowledge you. I am really done with my job. Counting down the days to a new start. I will be 62 Dec. 24.
Great interview.
Thank you 😊
Really enjoyed this guest. They should have given him his American citizenship. That is ridiculous. Glad for him and his family.
Well he's better off without it because they would be now taxing him on his income.
The parents didn't purse it back then. Happened for a reason.
Glad you guys are having positive vibes in the Philippines. Cant wait to retire there. ❤
This is one of the best interviews you've done.
Thank you 😊
Agree it's not all about money and being rich there's so much in life to enjoy and be grateful. We are all blessed by God. ❤❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
As a FIL-Am born and raised in California before 1973, I missed my chance for dual citizenship with the Philippines. My mom was still a Pilipino when I was born, but the 1987 Philippines Constitution states you have to declare for Philippines citizenship when you turn 18. I turned 18 before AOL and the internet became mainstream in the mid-1990s. Just like this dude, us "kids" didn't know back then. Otherwise he would be American and I'd be a Filipino and American citizen 😂. On a side note, that 1987 Philippines Constitution is totally biased and discriminatory towards Filipino women. A person born under a Pilipino man is automatically a Philippines citizen, but from a Filipino women, you gotta declare ?
@TarikSolimanX, check with PH imminmgration lawyer or the PH Embassy. I understand that if one of your parents is PH citizen at the time of your birth, you have a claim to PH citizenship. So, you are both a natural born Filipino and natural born American. You don't have to apply for PH citizenship. There just to have some adjustments to be made. Better check with a lawyer just to be sure. Good luck.
You are a half american, half Pilipino no matter what.. much easier to be naturalized than a pure foreigner.
@@hermanmoncerate6112 Wouldn't hurt to try, I guess. I mean, the San Francisco Philippines Consulate told me I missed my chance when I turned 18. Plus other Fil-Ams have tried and got the bad news. But who knows. Thank you for your encouragement and advice.
@@1lolofred Not true. My sister, who is a "foreigner" half Pilipino - half Pilipino ( both my parents are 100% Filipino!) born after me qualified. She was born in America.
A lot of ex prisoners get deported back to New Zealand from Australia often because they never got around to getting Australian citizenship even though they have been there most of their lives.
As long as it is not a horrible crime it should be allowed I think. But being an American do not know the laws there. Enough challenges going on here sadly.
Good interview nice guy.
China is interested in our oil/petroleum whatever else they can get from us.
I am glad that PH helped a child of its own became a better man ❤.
Wow thats very interesting interview, interesting person , first time about this guy's story. Truly blessed.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
Great interview!!
👍🙏👍
Thank you 😊
Trials happened beyond human understanding,but God has better plans for you Lance.God bless!
Great Interview. Thank you.
Thank you for watching ☺️
Awesome interview!
So glad you liked it 😊
Great talk thank you)
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
Great interview
Best interview
Thank you 😊
We all can converse, but learning the American, UK British jargons are pretty foreign to out native tounge, basically Filipinos speak the correct english grammar better than an average American kid. Accentuations are of different subject much like foreigners trying to speak Tagalog with an accent that's not funny but very nice sounding. Most Americans makes fun of the Filipinos accent and for mispronouncing the letter F since we don't have letter F in our vocabulary. Let them sing and they can imitate and sounds pretty good. French accent is one of the best in this world.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts 😊
Great interview with lance. Did he happen to say what company he works for teaching english? I am approx 4 months away from moving to cebu would still like to work . Cambly is an option but, i would like to have a few more any help is appreciated !! Thankyqou!
Best interview yet. I cannot really identify with the police issues. I use to fear not coming to a full-stop. It felt like the police were just trying to bring money in. But, I have not been stopped by the police for thirty years. I do not even know where my vehicle registration is.
My Filipina wife has peed in parking lots and where there are CCTV cameras. I do recall my having to pee badly with no place in miles to do it and being honked at by a passing vehicle.
I wrote software to test devices being assembled in China. I had one manager in China who I wanted to punch in the face. He is now one of the few people I allow as a contact on my LinkedIn account. I had an assembly-line worker in China kick me off her computer because her break was over. 'Not sure if that is a pay thing or not. I trust the CCP about as much as I trust the American political establishment. I do not think they are greedy or evil, just possibly misguided and wrong. I hope common sense will rule. A rising tide floats all boats.
'Not sure about the proxy wars. Putin started the war in the Ukraine and, to my vague memory, Arab nations started the war against Israel. To the latter, the Jews kicked their butts without the help of America. The Iranians seem like great people. America tried to help in Iran but things just got worse.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
He is also seems a nice guy
Nice interview.
I'm not sure that I would question a loyal follower about their tax status on a public forum. Many people have had a CZcams interview come back to bite them in the ass ✌🏾
1 cool cat!❤
China has a big interests in WPS in 2005, they have been allowed by our former president Gloria Arroyo to do joint seismic exploration in the WPS beds, there they have discovered billions of oil deposits present in the wps, aside from that the food resources derived from our territorial sea, knewing their polluted territorial river, wps is a great oppurtunity for them, all they have to do is to bully civilians in our own territorial sea then they can now exploit the resources in the wps, even the giant clams and corals are being destroyed, in addition they also want to dominate militarily the SCS, why would they create militarised artificial islands, and 10 dash line map, it is domination and resources of the wps that drive them crazy. I would like also to remind my kababayans if they decide to conquer and win the war in Taiwan, who do you think will be the next, since ,Batanes island is so near to Taiwan, what do you think might happen.
Agree... 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
China has a border dispute with India as well and they are on the verge of a major conflict. Letting China do whatever they want is a bad decision. As a Filipino, we need to push back at that.
I love this video. Really do!!
I'm so glad you liked it 😊 I'll invite him back on the next time he visits Dumaguete
I like this man to be my Prof.in English 101 in College if i could turn back time again😂😂😂 love him seems he's so cool😂😂😂
How do I contact guest about teaching English online
Is it mute, why no sound Mark?
well be good there, stay out of trouble brother. hope you enjoy and have a family in Dumaguete. i guess they get rid all the gangs here in Middlesex county.
Awesome
Chinese they are in Tarlac in fact Alice Gou is currently in on investigation and also they are in Paran~aque
. but they all do Scamming Business and human trafficking
You got it made back home😅
Great video Mark. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it 😊
Cottageville, South Carolina looks like a sitio more than a town, but it's well-known for speeding tickets in United States from $500 to $700.
Great interview Mark, I like hearing from the Filipino people, by the way, I wanted to ask, when you say "wow", etc, you don't sound very enthusiastic, is it the case or that is just how you sound? Thanks!
I'm low key
@@everymanhasastory got it, I really like that you interview Filipino men, I always was curious about their insights, usually all channels interview local women.
There are more Filipinos coming to the USA to teach using the J1 visa.
Do people want to learn other languages in the Philippines. In my country we have three official languages English, French and Creole. I speak and write all of them and also speak Italian.
Look at what China did in Sri Lanka.
We dont know how the manuel one, even the i said remark
Any information on teaching English online from your guest
We are not fighting with China. China is the one antagonizing us. And China doesn’t have the right to dictate who we become friends with. We are neutral as we recognize China as the one China and not Taiwan.
As the president already said, we wants to be friends to all and enemy to none.
I agree with you 💯
Iba dito sa US pre❤
Great guy!
And great interview 👍
Thats me
Now it's OK, I mean the sound
I think you need to file your income tax for you to be able to get monthly social security pension, something like back in the States. I'm a Fil-Am and already residing here in PH and still work for my US company remotely. My US tax is deducted from my wages every pay period. But since I'm not a dual citizen, ( I was born here in PH) I never pay my tax to PH government. Yes, me and my wife are retirees and I'm still working full time. Already getting our social security pensions from Uncle Sam. And yes again, our lives are much better here. We just visit our kids and grandkids back in the States once a year. We need to go out of PH every year to be able to renew our balikbayan PH visa because we're only allowed to stay in PH for 12 months.
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your story ☺️
It is easy to apply for a dual citizenship if you were born in the Phil. I have a dual American and Filipino citizenship.
So nice to see you here, Lance, buddy!!
Salute to this deported one.he was save in crime by deportation.joke lang.
Uplifting video, please more local people would be so cool.
I'm sure he's hanging in the corner of Manila Avenue, Jersey city (behind the NY towers)
I respect his opinion about wps, But the one who does not obey UNCLOS is China, not the Philippines, we take our sovereignty, what is ours, in legal way not imagenary 9 dash line😂
you need to sound check. There is static throughout the video. I couldn't watch it all. too bad
America is not so great right now with this current administration….It’s best if you stay in the Philippines….ILLEGALS AND CRIMES ARE ALL OVER! I slept with my gun in case of a break-in! Gun Law where I live really sucks! Like, if someone breaks in into your home day or night and you’re sleeping upstairs and the intruder are downstairs, you cannot shoot them from upstairs, you need to be at the same place or level as the intruder otherwise if you shoot them (him/her) from the second floor, it’s your fault and you’re the one going to jail. So, stay in the Philippines and enjoy your life there. I can’t wait to move to Philippines!
Sound is ok here in NZ, Mark.
I know this man personally, and he's an awesome guy! Shoutout to my boy Lance Curry!
You still filipino
I have exact same thinking on what we are trying to do to Philippines. We aim to turn Philippines to a wasteland like Ukraine. Yes, staying neutral is the key.
But you can’t just close your eyes and accept it when foreigners invade your homeland right?
??????
Sound is perfect man. Check your own system!
Lance doesnt know the issue with regards to WPS. It is not a proxy war with Ukraine and the cannot be compared with Philippines China issue. Regardless, I respect his opinion.
Lance does know the issue. US Neocons are using Ukraine as a proxy to war with Russia. Taiwan is being used in a similar way against China.
Proxy war is exactly what it is.
Not with Ukraine, but US and China using the Philippines as proxy, the same thing with ukraine and Russia, US was pushing Ukraine to go war with russia, US was funding protest way back, as confirm by a senator
Hmmm
Im poor
Im not going to the US nor the Philippines! I rather be in Finland, New Zealand, Serbia, Poland, Hungary or Russia were life if much simplier and better!
Great interview!
Interesting interview.
Great interview!
