I will tell you from personal experience. Its a great place to go for retired single men I can wait to get back and long term. I spent from July 2022 to March of 2023 first time in the Philippines. I met many of the vloggers at Ground Zero. I went to Dumaguete, Siquior Island, Bohol Alona Beach and all over the island of Bohol, went to Cebu IT PARK the big Ayala Mall took a drive up in the mountains. Greatest adventure of my life I am coming back there full time soon.
Great interview Mark Expats who are mature, civil, and willing to be adventuresome to go half way around the world for a second chance at Happiness. The Filipino people are great for them.
Randy was the first expat I ever met on my 5th trip to the Philippines. He and you Mark are two of my favorite people ever met there. God Bless you both. Can't wait to see u again.
Prevening Kidney or gall stones you can take Magnesium Citrate and also a table sppon of Apple Cider Vinergar in a glass of water and hour before bed will get rid of stones as long as they are not huge.
I tried that, but didn't really help me. Sambong is the only thing that has gotten rid of my stones. If it worked for you, man, I am glad! Hate those things. My Dr. had me on Potassium Citrate. Just didn't matter.
Thank you for all your great vlogs Mark I am glad you are doing better after the motorcycle incident. I have been to the Bible study at Ground Zero I would recommend it great bunch of people they will welcome you. I will be there by October.
Another great interview Mark with a lot of good useful information. I’m moving to the PH 2 reasons, 1) the friendliness of the people and 2) I feel safer there than in the USA. Take care.🤙
If I did move to the Philippines it is largely to avoid a hostile political environment. I want to live peacefully and avoid political conflict In the US the mediation plays us fools Here I can disregard American political conflict Marty
Its possible that the College systems in the Philippines could use his expertise.. I've heard many times about the hassle getting the transcripts from the school and being able to transfer them properly.
Love the interview, great guy, just want to share an observation as a gay Christian, gay people don't choose to live a lifestyle, we are born gay just like you were born heterosexual. As far as gay pride parades in the U.S. people, gay people, lgtbq people have pride parades because they have been marginalized and even killed - think of Matthew Sheppard and so many trans people who are killed every year in the U.S. Southeast Asia is so different. Ive spent a long time in Thailand and people don't judge. I dont agree with straight, gay or trans people walking naked in the streets. Anyway besides this, I really enjoyed the interview. It seems like the majority of expats in the Phillipines are Republicans. I am a democrat and my best friend who is gay is a conservative Republican. Can we all just try and get along without dictating policy to others lol. Thanks guys ! 😊
Respect should be given to everyone. My only take is that it's clear the activity of homosexuality is sin. But, I'm not a hypocrite. I know that scripturally, I'm not right about my relationship. I'm a weak human, and follow the path that I feel like I have to follow. For both of us, we have our crosses to bear. I pray for forgiveness, and trust the Lord. But I call my sin, well, sin. It is where we disagree. No animosity intended. We should treat each other as Christ tells us to: with love as for ourselves. As brothers. Peace.
Exactly. And leave it at that. As in Matthew 7: Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use.” Hallelujah and praise the Lord for that!
I agree that people should be able to make their own choices, but don’t rub it in other people’s faces. Sleazy is sleazy regardless of your sexual preference. Religion and politics are personal opinions you have a right to your beliefs but keep them to yourself or you will soon find yourself alienated and alone.
Rents in Texas are very reasonable . I pay $740 a month for a 650 square foot 1bedroom and I know of some cheaper than that . I live in Houston . Some of the newer apartments are only a little over $1000 . Texas is one of the most reasonable places to live in the USA .
Philippines is more 'Animistic', when I struck a tree w/ my golf club my filipina said 'tabi tabi po' which is saying sorry to the spirit inside the tree, similar to pantheism (Albert Einstein' belief).
I’m never going to bring another PC to the Philippines! iPhones, apple, or Chrome only, after too many infected PC’s! I buy Chrome books for $200.00 or less, and bring my unlocked IPhones!
The reason for taking it isn't "struggling in the bedroom". That's little blue pills. It's because men have a need for testosterone to live. Even women have small amounts. The amount needed depends on the problem. And the level needed depends on a few things, including vigor in life. If you feel fine, I wouldn't worry. If you don't feel right, low energy, moody, hard to focus, and especially if your 50 or older, getting checked would be advisable. But this is general information.
Having prostate cancer, I think you would know about this. In fact, your Dr. probably has you on a blocker. As I understand it, you shouldn't take TRT, according to most Drs.. As I said, just general information. 😊
Great interview Mark, hey is there a chance you can provide me with your guests email address. Im currently using Testosterone injections but i have my medications shipped here from the US. Its quite expensive but i need to do this. Id like to chat with your guest to see what type of options i might have here. Thank you
@@randyrandy3472 thanks Randy. I’ve actually been using Testosterone treatment for 20 plus years. I believe in it and depend on it. My question is more related on how i can go about getting it here. I live in Luzon, as well I’ve walked into several pharmacies here with my empty vile and i am met with the same reaction. They look at me like Im holding an illegal drug or something. They immediately tell me no they don’t have it and because of the language barrier, i don’t ever seem to get any help. My doctor back in the states has been giving me prescriptions and i have it shipped when i need it but thats very inconvenient. Im just trying to figure out a method of obtaining it here if possible! Thanks for your time Randy
Very nice interview. Wishing you great health. Yep, believe in faith. Faith is something to believe in besides yourself.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
I hope to get to see you soon. I'm coming to the Philippines soon

You're making the Philippines more attractive. The idea of people actually getting along despite differences in opinions is very attractive.
Yes. For the most part we all get along here
Randy was the first expat I ever met on my 5th trip to the Philippines. He and you Mark are two of my favorite people ever met there. God Bless you both. Can't wait to see u again.
Hi Bruce! I figured out who you were. See you when you get back.
Hi Mark glad to hear you buddy

@@randyrandy3472i take potassium citrate for recurring stones from uric acid. Have you found something that works better ?
drink a lot of water too dont let yourself stay dehydrated
Once again nice wall decor and good interview backdrop plus the rhythmic sounds of the waves creates a great setting for the vid 🙏🏻👍🏻👏🇹🇭🇵🇭
"sambong" is native herb used by Filipinos as a tea for various ailment..
Great interview Mark. I guess alot of foreigner come here to retire. Nothing like getting up in the morning and you feel like you're on vacation.
seems like a pretty good dude ide be his friend
He’s a very nice man.Great interview Mark 😊😊
Great understanding video of someone who is honest with feelings and thoughts 👍
Thank you for all your great vlogs Mark I am glad you are doing better after the motorcycle incident. I have been to the Bible study at Ground Zero I would recommend it great bunch of people they will welcome you. I will be there by October.
I live in Dallas and all the illegals around me get rental assistance. That is the way to beat high housing costs in the US.

Most empires last about 250 yrs USA has been going for 246...Was a first world.
@@Sanee-n1l Good luck with that!
@@Sanee-n1l Some believe, some do not. That is what America is all about or should be.

Marty
Sambag and bahal it help a lot...
Mark, did you say in the intro, I got my friend randy here"? Well, that's just what I need. See you in 2024.
What the name of the kidney Tea medicin ??
Great interview
it's $2000 a month in Dallas for a nice place. Not $1400
Maybe 2500 now, in the city. I'm still there, and glad I don't have any real estate payments. Living in the US is not enjoyable.
WANG DANG SWEET POONTANG 😋😋😋 ALWAYS GREAT INFORMATION 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Saw Ted at Cal Jam 2 in the 70's ! I always remember that saying LOL!
Learning everyday 😊
I'm Randy
We need to do a part 2
Where can you be seen for TRT? In the Philippines
Its possible that the College systems in the Philippines could use his expertise..
I've heard many times about the hassle getting the transcripts from the school and being able to transfer them properly.
Umm what was that medication that he took for his kidney?

Why work, he's done with it. Too much stress.
Larry North - Brown Rice and Chicken Breast guy . He had a radio show.
Yah sambong also help prevention of canser dr. Also recomend sambong sometime
Drink bahal,it’s more effective....

I may have missed it but how do you handle healthcare insurance in the Phil since they don't accept our MediCare?
Thanks Randy. My longest and best friend spent decades with the 3-letter Boys from Northern Virginia, and some things are very well coordinated.
The truth is there are probably far more real conspiracies going on than most conspiracy theorists even believe.
55 minutes 🎉🎉🎉
That’s nice in the Philippines is that still a God fearing country. Occultic activities there will not thrive , at least I hope not .
Philippines is more 'Animistic', when I struck a tree w/ my golf club my filipina said 'tabi tabi po' which is saying sorry to the spirit inside the tree, similar to pantheism (Albert Einstein' belief).
Did he say Sambag? If it is its illonggo word for tamarind
I wonder if they checked his estradiol. This can become elevated and has a negative feedback effect of testosterone.
The tests here are only total T. I take an aromatase inhibitor to stop conversion to estradiol.
I’m never going to bring another PC to the Philippines!
iPhones, apple, or Chrome only, after too many infected PC’s!
I buy Chrome books for $200.00 or less, and bring my unlocked IPhones!
What the hell is TRT therapy? I have prostate cancer.. Do I need it?
Testosterone replacement therapy.
The reason for taking it isn't "struggling in the bedroom". That's little blue pills. It's because men have a need for testosterone to live. Even women have small amounts. The amount needed depends on the problem. And the level needed depends on a few things, including vigor in life.

I'm not a doctor, this is just general information for educational purposes.
Having prostate cancer, I think you would know about this. In fact, your Dr. probably has you on a blocker. As I understand it, you shouldn't take TRT, according to most Drs..
As I said, just general information. 😊
You need to evaluate your free testosterone as it is unbound. Total testosterone is not a reliable metric to measure
Once again, general information.
Great interview Mark, hey is there a chance you can provide me with your guests email address. Im currently using Testosterone injections but i have my medications shipped here from the US. Its quite expensive but i need to do this. Id like to chat with your guest to see what type of options i might have here. Thank you
There are a few endocrinologists on the island, and more in Cebu. They can help you with starting care.
