I could not live as well in the states as I do here in the Philippines. A similar farm and home would be out of reach in my USA base of Pennsylvania. My pension would last 1 day in Pennsylvania and I would have to get a job. Living here in Batangas my pension lasts all month with savings. Growing most of my food year round keeps my other living expenses very low. I would recommend retiring here. I also highly recommend that you learn TAGALOG the national language.
Mabuhay!
Good for you, bro!
🎉Just across from you here in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro..
Find us here at the Jam house in White Beach..

Great and lucky life!
Your right
Our reasons for residing in the Philippines (Davao) coincide. I am a retired professor in bioethics. I am glad you are back in Davao.
One other thing to consider is what impact you can have to improve the quality of others lives. In the Philippines you are appreciated much more and thanked. Unlike America where disrespectful and entitled people demand from you.
Not all Americans have the same negative attitude.
Not all Filipinos have the same appreciative attitude. Some Filipinos are manipulative.
@@aumarigan I think the difference is feminism, divorce and abortion. Women's supernatural powers in America are driving me elsewhere.
Generally the culture of the Philippines are the best. Very welcoming, hospitable and peaceful types of people.
My pappy was born in Kentucky, my momma, Alabama. I'm a gen Xer like you brotha and I was born in Georgia. We got family in Tennessee. It doesn't surprise me a bit how well US southerners can adapt to the Philippines. "A country Boy Can Survive," That song sums up many reasons why. It made #2 on the Biggest hits chart in 1982.I've been going there since 2006. I have a Filipina wife and 3 children in Laguna, I am due to retire next year from the military and live there permanently. Your vlogs are very inspiring, thank you and God bless.
Dr. Laway welcome to the Philippines!!! Thank you for choosing the Philippines. We love to have you in our country.
Thank you so much!
My country is also a gateway to some other countries like SKorea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Thailand and some of our neighboring countries as well if you want to keep traveling, also 80% of our community speaks English though some remote locals can having a hard time for that. You're always welcome to our country. ♥
Exactly. I'll be out there in June/July at the latest. I plan on hitting up ALL of Asia. I can't wait.
Hey thank you for choosing Philippines. Am a filipino followers of you live in Canada am so grateful that you guys as a vlogger uplifting our country identity.
Wish I was in the Philippines now! Great place ! I will be there this spring !
On behalf of my entire country, daghang salamat, Señor Laway :)
I've been following your videos for awhile...and have visited the Philippines numerous times as well. You hit some key points..I share the same interest in the Philippines. Although My tagalog (luzon ) is still a challenge. I'll keep working on it.
you will learn tagalog in no time 🥰🥰🥰🥰😉😉😉😉
@@eleanorcavalida9535it's so difficult 😅
Glad you’re back doing videos….😊
Thanks! Travel has got me behind on editing. I filmed a bunch but hopefully I will be able to edit and put out those vids
Philippines is not perfect country but people are welcoming. Enjoy the beach. Thank you for the video.
Dr. Laway 🥰
Welcome back Dr. Laway! At least you have Cdr. Daut as a counterpart in your hubby as a vlogger. Take good care and good luck. Watching from the USA.
Many people forget or don't even know that the Philippines was once a Territory of the United States.
❤happy ti have you back Dr.Laway.Live a peaceful life in Philippines .
Thank you kindly!
Welcome back sir and good health and advance happy new year
It is more fun in Davao. My wife and I have finally retired to our condo in Davao and Canada is now the 'holiday' destination.
Working on your bisaya dialect!👍👍😁Awesome!
Wow that's amazing 😊
Thanks for the video, maybe you could have talked about that the air quality, it is actually much better than places like in Thailand.
Welcome back, dude...
Thank you so much!
Thank you for keep coming back. ❤
If you choose to retire in the provinces.. true. affordable but never in Metro Manila or condos. As a Filipino i prefer the provinces.. not congested. low cost of living.. and simple relax lifestyle.
I travel across Davao, anywhere from P100 for less than 4k, up to P350 if you are going from the airport to out in the province of Toril. My average is probably P150 ($3)
Perfect choice you did. By location, environment & market value.
Our East Tennessee accents make it hard when we try speaking Visaya.
We can't understand East Tennessee accents back in the USA either!
I think the Visayans understand “y’all “ as singular and “all y’all “ as plural.
True! Sometimes people don't understand the English as well. When I first moved to London, England 30 years ago some shop keeper told me to "slow down because your accent is quite thick" hahaha
you can save more if you just buy a rent to own house from those who offer in the subdivisions then you also need to have a service motorcycle or car you can also get a rental motorcycle with a low down payment. and the vegetable here is free in the provinces for us because we grow the vegetables here in the backyard fresh from the farm, we also have many pet chickens and other farm animals" 😅
I’m looking for a change from Thailand, have you lived in Cebu? If so what’s it like there 😊
Here now. Cebu city to big noise like manila. Lapu lapu accross the bridge in cebu is quite,
Never lived there only passed through. Big city with all of the problems that you might expect like Bangkok but without the infrastructure to match.
@@DrLawaytravels would it have better dating options, with call centre workers?
Lots more dating options in Cebu, but for long term relationship Davao would be my choice if I were single at my age.
A short taxi from the Davao l airport will run about 10 USD, not sure why he didn’t mention that.
Being retired i need great infrastructure is a must, great hospitals , world class food, the people the cost of living and the ability to travel entire country without taking a plane or boat. in conclusion Thailand is my first choice followed by Vietnam. ill vacation to Philippines but to 3rd world for me to live
Welcome Back to the amazing country Atty.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!!🙏
well i been in davao 5 yrs straight and never been back to texas....and now very fluent in local lingo.....im in ma-a davao city
Philippines is magic.
If i stay there for a long time can u recomend a good medical insurer there please?
Saint Luke’s Hospital American hospital since world war II
Good morning Dr Laway
Hello, Dr. L. Good day to you again! In my location here in Metro Manila(Pasay City), I just have P70.00/per meal. That is if I get a chicken/pork/fish meal with 2 cups of rice(P50.00 meal + P10.00 per 1 cup of rice). While, a vegetable meal costs me P50.00(P30.00 vegetable meal + P10.00 per 1 cup of rice). Hehehe
Not bad at all on the prices! I don't think I could handle two cups of rice in one meal though, one makes me really full
Hi dr laway im traveling to Davao the Philippines next month and learned you have knowledge on dual citizen ship. Can you give me advice or tips to approach this? Tyvm
just move here to Davao a few weeks ago… living in Toril area… it would be nice to meet you sometime…😁
Make up your mind story is played.. jeesh!
❤❤❤
Hi, can you make a video about the "acts of gods". Earth quakes, floods etc!
I'm from Chattanooga Tennessee and I been living in Cebu Philippines for 10 year's
Nice! Will be up that way soon hopefully. I am from a bit north of you in TN, about two hours away
@@DrLawaytravelsj😅
WESTERN WORLD COUNTRY OR ASIAN COUNTRY IS ALREADY IN DEVELOP IN HIGH TECHNOLOGY INFRUSTRUCTURE LIFE LIVING IS PRESSURE OF MONEY TO WORK HARDER TO PAY BILLS INSURANCES
2 questions: 1. In your opinion will the Philippines be attacked by China 2. Will the Philippines ever do like Thailand and legalize marijuana? Thank you
I have been on a fresh beef and eggs diet, no carbohydrates for 11 months and dropped 50#. Now 175#@6'. If you want to feel 20 years younger, this is for you. My question is, how is the beef supply?
Thank you for the video.
Local beef is not so good, not really aged. Most of the stuff you can get is frozen from Australia and New Zealand where the beef is below standards for the USA. Generally it is available just not great quality and more expensive than the States.
@@DrLawaytravels Maybe raising Beef cattle is a good business venture to start in the Philippines? Thank you for the information.
God bless and keep safe always
Thank you so much!
Nice one sir......
Thank you so much!
Very nice 😊👍
that would be great DR. Laway if you learn bisaya. just basic fluency so that you can understand and better communicate with the locals it more you can connect specially with your filipina wife.
I agree! Learning to understand has not been terribly hard, but having people understand when I speak has been challenging because of my accent I think
@@DrLawaytravels dont worry about the accent sir. Its not matter as you clearly speaking it. Like anither vlogger named kulas who lives in davao oriental. His bisaya is basic with accents. But its good and understandable.
its time to the goverment to pass a bill that if a foreigner will stay here and live here like expat they are protected by laws and can aquire land to develop many americans are good although not all but some foreigners need to have protection in our laws for them to be part of our economic livelihood support to our countrymen
`You need to do a house tour!

This red headed man is so handsome 🥰🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Maayung Gabii or is it Maayung hapon doc , Bisaaya is not an easy tongue for the westerner , i keep getting it wrong lol , i agree with you on the reasons for living in the philipines , i asked my Girl to go out and buy enough food for us for two days ,we had plenty and it only cost 3 dollars , she did get a little mad at me in the market later ,she said that the prices double when they see a white guy with her ,so im banned from shopping lol
Yes, there is the thing called a "skin tax" here, but it's actually rare (at least in the Provinces) but if one asks around FIRST and learns what the going rate is for items & services, they can avoid getting "taxed". Plus many, if not most stores will have a price posted on the item, so it's harder to get taken advantage of. Just do your DUE DILIGENCE, just like you would at home!
I don't go to the market in Davao with my wife for just that reason. Was never a problem in the Province though. Funny thing is my wife makes a face when ever people are trying to over charge and then goes off the deep end on them lol. It is like a bunch of Bisaya and I can only pick up like every third word because she talks so fast!
let be honest main reason is the cost of living if u can clear 2 k mo.th u make it there
Hard to visit places that do not speak english
All well in good - Saw one of old dog's newest video's and he's anxious to leave after 6 yrs . . .
Run out of young girls to pimp out? Guy is a real creep.
Who cares?
Where is a good low cost rental area in davao as i am considering making a move from general santos city to davao any help you can give me would be appreciated, also are there communities of foreign nationals or expats in the davao area. I enjoy your videos and have learned from them i will continue to share two others and hope to see you keep them coming thank you again Dennis Dayton
Decent size expat community here. Lots of British and Australians. Meet more of them than from the US, but still not like other parts of Luzon or Visayas Regions. The lowest costs seem to be on the edge of the city to the North or over towards Toril if you don't want western amenities like hot water etc. included. There is a pretty active expat group on Facebook for Davao that has get togethers and stuff.
@@DrLawaytravels Thank you for the response.
Yes, even when I get the local Ilongo pronunciation down correct, they'll often laugh and say, "We don't understand because of your funny accent!!" And we all laugh.
That is my experience or they just stare at me like I am from mars LOL
Where’s the best place to retire in davao? Is cebu ok place thanks
My opinion is that you should stay short term near one of the Malls in Davao and then look around. Really depends what kind of amenities and lifestyle you want. Personally I gave Cebu a pass because of the crime.
@@DrLawaytravelsso is crime really that bad in Phillipines? I watch other vloggers and some of them are changing their positive outlook of Phillipines. One said something of his security ,that he had to move from his home. (This is after four years of nothing but positive.)
My husband is an American we live in Cebu he loves here. We live here for 8years now
Your wife from Philippines happy wife happy life that the primary reason i will end up Philippines. i prefer america a much lower cost of living the best reason to live Philippines . With half the population of U.S there plenty of crime in all forms Philippines . A bill collector murder in a drive by shooting on his motorbike yesterday in Digos. A DJ was murder couple week ago live on facebook live stream. a man and his wife was murder on a bus in recent weeks seen on a video. Another myth no drugs in school of course you have some bad kids with 15 ,000 students like Digos
You should have respect and stop inviting people to a country you're a guest in..
I don't know where you come from or the culture you are raised, but in the Philippines an invitation is a form of respect.
have just watched your video on the reverse culture shocks when you returned to the US, citing the most privileges/ conveniences in America -- compared to a 'third world' country where there's a lot of noise, traffic, slow service, trash blah blah blah
Then I checked your latest vlog and here you are returning now saying good things about the Philippines.
WHICH IS WHICH, SIR? 🤔🤥 Excuse my curiosity since a lot of vloggers have not been honest..and inconsistent. 🤭
Philippines is expensive country to live with tourist visa, even Finland is more cheaper to live in.
just bcuz finland is cheaper than PH doesnt mean PH is expensive
LMAO! Biggest lie on CZcams
Well for me it is when I compared :D@@dochi1958
