Watch what she had to say Part 2 czcams.com/video/v_PWAUVCcT0/video.htmlsi=i3Fe9cckmGtrwEvn
Yeah I quit watching this clown!
I'm in my 80s now, retired, happily living alone in the USA. Back when I was in my 20s, I was with a few friends and an older gent. We were talking about getting a GF, getting married, having kids, and all that responsibility. We asked the older gent what he thought was the best way to live.
He thought for a moment, then asked us why we wanted to get married.
Most of us said 3 things: regular sex, kids with family life, and regular 3 meals a day prepared by our wives.
The old gent thought for a moment as he looked at each of us. Then he said:
"Well, as for the kids and 3 meals a day, you could probably come up with some sort of alternative plan and lifestyle. But as far as the regular sex is concerned, the f-----g you get isn't worth the f-----g you're gonna' get."
Owning property in the Philippines is impossible so everything you give to your girl is a gift to her and her family.
You can own a condo and certian townhomes depending on how the town home is titled. Condo can be 100% owned by foreigners
Perfect place for super simp fat Willy
condo, or put home with lawyer in others name. see a lawyer.
A permanent resident can own property, house, land up to x amount of acres, thats from the Govt. website, chk it out
If you expats guys are 62, 65, 67 years old you should try older ladies in their late 40s or 50s.
Those young ladies in their 20s or 30s will ruin your life.
Thanks Andrew
You are totally right. I had lots of pretty young ones wanting to marry me but didn't convince me, so I made the right choice and never had anything to regret.
@@tonieplacide-oy4xx , the problem is most of these women are obese, older and have children from prior marriages. Even Filipinos don't want them.
Most of these women that u mentioned are older, obese, below average looking and have children. Some even have grandchildren.
The game was over the minute he moved her in. Some of us fall for these younger women who only want financial support. They don't genuinely love you. There were too many red flags that were ignored so you suffer the consequences.🤔🏝️
many red flags in his story
Facts mistake a lot of gringos make in The Philippines 🇵🇭.
These double chin old romeo 😂😂😂
These guys over 60 just remember when you was a 35 old guy , have you ever think to be involved with a 60+ woman??
Is fucking disgusting.
I am 41 and for a woman in her 20 , i consider myself old.
A woman between 20 and 29 is too young for me.
Just look yourself in the mirror before looking for love and a 20+ woman.
Did a coconut fall on your head?
Before that even. Single mother? RUN. TWO or more kids? RUN FASTER. Either SHE is low value because her husband (or husband and boyfriend or two boyfriends) ran from her, or, she chooses low value men. (While it's not great for a man's ego to discover it's the latter, he still should.) Oh and she didn't change. He just never really saw her. Which also means, if he still thinks it was her that "changed", that it wasn't his inability to pinpoint high value women, then he won't "see" the next one coming either.
The second mistake was that she was poor. He even says it himself - living in a pig pen. So she never had her Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs met, which means all her decisions until that point were based on securing the next meal and money. It in was in that learned state she chose him. And he met both of those, food and money, so of course all seemed happy at first. But once that was secured and behind her, it was time to monkey branch, move up a rung and meet the other needs (or just more of the same lower ones, like more $).
Like most of these low-value women who clueless foreign men deliberately seek out ("I'll 'save' her from poverty so she'll stay with me forever because she's grateful and will feel like she owes me"), once she realized she could take most of everything for herself and use her crotch trench to suck the next foreigner into, she was off like a rabbit from a bald greyhound - after a period of growing to first resent, then hate him of course, to justify her cheating - which he has mentioned, but you can just bet she blames HIM for.
What he should have done about the house was threaten to have her and her boyfriend charged with adultery (he used the words "boyfriend" and "bang my wife" and "apply for a divorce") unless she agrees within 30 days to sign paperwork so x% of the money for the house sale goes to him upon sale - and that happens in such a way (through paperwork at time of sale) that she never gets access to the full amount - that the bank or purchaser pays each of them their agreed portion.
And for those who will say, "But punishing her punishes the kids..." that's the same simp behavior that caused this situation in the first place AND you can guarantee (low value woman that she is) she's going to raise those kids lying about him, accusing, rubbishing for years - so when they're adults they'll hate hit guts anyway. Not only that, if she goes to jail (and remember, that's only if she's dumb enough not to sign - no Filipina wants to go to a Philippines jail), the kids would go to some aunt until she's out anyway. Of course this assumes the house is actually worth something too. If it's the typical hollow block hovel foreigners build (like old uncle Pedal FIle Jessie) then it probably isn't worth bothering over. Even so I'd still want her in jail. Consider it a much-needed life lesson for her not to be a shitty, low-value person.
I'm typing while still listening... His main lesson after being asked for advice to other men is to get a prenup!? LOL. This guy still doesn't have a clue that he's not just 50% responsible for this happening, but coming from the west, with a better education, better and mature life skills (should have had anyway), and resources (internet) to learn what went wrong, etc - he still doesn't get it. He says he "has a few close friends" (obviously he means superficial friends with sexual benefits). He seems still oblivious to what happened so It's probably best he sticks to that the rest of his life.
"It wasn't a care of the greedy Filipina trying to get the foreigner." Uh, yeah - it was. She just didn't know it herself yet. Did she plan that from day one? No, but it 99% GUARANTEED it would naturally flow into that by the type of woman he chose. He missed his best friend? She was never his best friend. HE is projecting that false impression upon her. She was/is INCAPABLE of having felt the same, evidenced by her stealing from her own friends and church and by getting a boyfriend soon after kicking him out, instead of a time of regret and introspection a person with scruples would go through. (In fact given all her red flags and low-value behaviors it's a safe bet she was screwing the boyfriend (if not multiple other guys) well before inviting him to leave. (You don't willingly turn off one money tap until you've turned on a second one.)
And guys, don't take back a 304 who not only did all this, but was on her back 5 minutes after you closed the door, and then says she wants you back. She only wants you back for one of two reasons: a) Because the new boyfriend won't put up with the same BS you did and have indicated you would again, or b) To finish the hit man plan.
Never give up your manhood for a woman in the Philippines or anywhere else Come on man 🤔
thanks for watching
He's into the kids probably
Manhood?
I’ve been married to my Filipina wife 15 years and we about the same age. We still live in the states as we are still fairly young (40s). Im buying a condo in Cebu but she is paying 100% for a land and house to be built in the province. I won’t pay for any of it. Im also keeping our house in the USA as a fall back. It seems so many expat videos I watch are guys making rash decisions with no planning or thought.
Smart good 4 u
My dad said the women in the Philippians lie out of 3 sides of their mouth.
Must be your dad never met an American woman
I own a townhouse with a condo title in the Philippines, she tried to tell me put in her name I said listen it’s my money and I do my research very good and this town house can be in my name 100% and that’s facts , I brought the house and I personally own it no other name , never put a house in there name they never worked for it never put anything towards it so be wise , but a house is a trap for them once you buy it they wait then get you out , I hope many read this and either buy a condo in your own name or look for a town house with a condo title like I did , it’s 100% yours because I brought one .
Thanks for sharing Dave
Sounds interesting but I don't follow your logic.
Are you saying only a condo in your name is safe, and a normal house is not?🤷
Research the internet foreigners CAN buy condos and townhouses under their name in the Philippines .
Research the internet foreigners can get 25+ year leases on new built houses under the retirees name.and never get kicked out of it from the Pinay when they break up
Just spend that hour on Google and CZcams.
stop being lazy.
@@watersbey25 Wow, I didn't know that you could own property or a business in the Philippines. Are you saying that a condo and 25 year lease are the exception?
@@kogaryu5558 A foreigner cant buy the land the house is placed on, to buy a house you need to register it into a philopinos name. A condo you can buy in your own name.
Always rent. That goes for houses and women.
rent a women you do that back home?
@@mikesphilippineretirement Turns out I think I did.
hahaha I have in the past for an hour or 2 when i was in the Navy
@@mikesphilippineretirement I'm talking about marriage and divorce Mike.
@@mikesphilippineretirement old guys need to realize this is 100% not going to work. It makes good CZcams content, don’t get upset, 20 something gal is there for one reason only, in real life they want a young good looking guy, so you get a young gal, she gets money , when she is on her feet, it’s goodbye don’t let the door hit you on your way out. Don’t be upset , keep it to yourself, people going to talk behind your back, what an old fool you’re
This video is a good reason to just rent a place to live. It keeps you mobile so one can easily move elsewhere if necessary.
some guys want to settle down and relax with a good girl and enjoy life
Sounds good on paper bro, big risk though. Once the place is paid for, True colors start to show if you picked the wrong one@@mikesphilippineretirement
BINGO, EXACTLY! These scams are literally "EVERYWHERE" in the Philippines. She will marry and wait patiently even if it takes 5 to 10 years, then she will magically say, the love is gone and so goes the home that you paid for conviently enough. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to live in Negros Occidental for 4 years in Philippines and the laws exclude the rights of foreigners. It is obviously a government-sanctioned scam to separate foreigners from their retirement savings. DO NOT FALLED FOR THE MARRIAGE SCAM!
foreigners cannot buy a home..a condo yes home is hers. sorry thats it.. I met a lawyer there are ways to insulate home.
Think long term rentals would have been favorible.
I married a Filipina in the U.S. She signed a pre nup that covered just about everything. Just a verbal to give her a one time small amount of cash( 4 figures)that I didn't even have to honor. No support. We are divorced now because of her and a pre nup is the best thing they ever invented before marriage. I believe she would have went after more if I didn't.
thanks for sharing
@@watersbey25 Any divorce attorney can write one up.
@@mightyj806 noooo, it requires international know how by a knowledgeable lawyer You have to get the girl into the USA on a 3 month fiance visa, and have a USA based lawyer represent Her. The second lawyer represents you. It must be drafted and signed IN THE USA The prenump must be in her dialog or else she can easily hire another lawyer to happily contest it later saying she couldn't understand the language in the prenump. This will void the pre nump later in court. Her lawyer should be a good one, chosen by her and actually becomes a pain in the butt to deal with, costing you extra money and some anger. After this pre nump is signed, get married in the USA and go back to the Philippines, or stay in America.
I'm stuck.. I think this a fail of a pre nump with a girl from the Philippines. Time to lose half my life savings quickly.
@@watersbey25watch Filipina Pea she has a video and a good lawyer contact for pre nups.
you got lucky.prenups can be cracked.
Never go back to The Philippines, if she filed a case against you (violation against women and Children-withholding of economic or financial benefits) you can be immediately go to jail the moment you set foot there. I hope she didn’t file a lawsuit and if so, i hope it wouldn’t prosper!
good advice
It appears his move to Thailand, was no coincidence
That's why I don't get involved with amy Filipina since 2014. Lol😂. They just use and blackmail foreign men in The Philippines. The best life in the Philippines is MGTOW mode.
Philippines is a crazy country. Corruption all over the place in that country from the scammers to the politicians
The thing is you don't need a State Sanctioned Marriage.
Put everything in a trust
Thanks Mike for bringing us this true but sad story. William, you made the right decision, don't go back, continue your new course.
thanks for sharing
It’s not true, he is a POS who ditched his wife and young children to chase ass in the PI
"I financed my bike and found out that she was pocketing the payments, so in turn, I bought her a bike and made her responsible for the payments."
not smart on both counts
😂
You kept getting in deeper
WHY after the first time would you EVER allow her to have any money to pay the bills? that's astonishing to me
@@urboyjim Isn't it crazy? Some people are stupid and I don't understand how they even figured out how to book a flight even.
Mike is a real good listener...unlike a few other bloggers...
Thank you
He just got promoted to Captain (Cap'n Save-a Hoe).
hay hay that is my JOB!!!
Lmao
I have many stories of friends, family and coworkers including me who had GF or wife CHANGE OVER TIME. Breakup or divorce are pretty common. I asked my marriage counselor before my divorce what are the odds of a truly HAPPY long term marriage. She said around 10% to 15% are really happy or have only minor marriage problems. Another 30% to 35% have problems and need counseling and/or are truly UNHAPPY. The remaining percentage end in divorce. Even if you love each other in the beginning the SAD reality is TIME is not your friend and the odds are NOT in your favor.
thanks for the info
All people change over time. The old saying goes a man marries a woman expecting her to stay the same and a woman marries a man expecting him to change. The truth is that both change over time and it’s up to them as a couple to either grow together or let themselves grow apart.
William,you better annul your marriage with your wife. Give yourself a chance to be happy.
@@lmcc0072 I think to many people get married just because of that LOVE feeling, not taking into consideration how that will change over time. That's why I sadly see some of my friends in and out of relationships when the rubber meets the road. Marriage is HARD WORK, but to be honest it's not something most think about in the throws of love. Believe me I like the feelings of love, but if you don't lay a good foundation of respect, trust and forgiveness before you say "I DO" when troubled waters come your marriage will fold like a cheap suit.
Your therapist was full of it and the studies and research show the rate of happiness in marriage are higher than any other long term relationship
It’s better to be alone than be miserable in the married state.
I'm an expat in the Philippines, I will not marry these ladies first she is poor, has kids, uneducated no you will have a terrible life. You just got fooled, after a while you'll see her true colors.
@@foreignerescapestothephi-lj3ls Selfish to who?
He's got his head on tight. Behavior changes are a sign that shouldn't be ignored. Time stands still for no one and making the best of a bad situation is all anyone can do.
Sorry to hear about your marriage.better to be alone in Thailand. Enjoy your new life ok.
I stopped watching as soon as he mentioned drinking a lot back then and still drinking. This guy is kind of typical of a lot of situations here in the Philippines. It would be good to hear her side of the story, I’m sure she has a tale to tell.
She does and we hope to talk to her
@@TruthFinder7839as I was told a while back when I was going through my last divorce and told, " There is three sides to every story, her side, his side, and the truth" after hearing this I look at things more centered than lop sided.
There are always two sides. 😏
We are talking here about someone who was willing to do everything for her.
He said hi now hardly drinking at all ✨
To see William play the role of the victim is priceless. This guy is nasty and everyone knows it. Karma is a bitch. 😂😂😂
I never heard of him until after i posted the video about the house
I know nothing about him. Can you provide a link?
You don’t shit about the man so get a grip
What's the back story?
I was married to a Filipina for about 15 years. Back in the early 90's I spent well over $100,000. For land and a house that was supposed to be my retirement home in Bicol. Long story short divorced in the US in 2003.her second American husband now lives in the house I built. She lives in San Diego. She says that they are not separated.
yea my first house has my ex and her 3th husband living in it. In Nevada
Double ouch, for both of you fine gents ... that's gotta hurt
At least you are not on the web calling people trolls and saying that you have none comingled rights to conjugal property in a state that has no divorce but you were granted an ex party divorce in a third state but the issue of division of congugal property could not be adjudicated in the third nation state.
The man Is not credible.
Philipino lady just need money they cannot be trusted you believe or not ,in young age they became single mom they don't know their value .
@@mikesphilippineretirementyes but in the case you replied on...the Philippina is in the States and the second American husband is living in the Philippines! In the house the first American husband built! Crazy stuff indeed. After 15 years too.
I love SE Asia, been there many times but the one reoccurring theme I hear before it all goes bad is “I fully trusted my wife”. Guys if your going to Philippines or Thailand just learn to be happy with yourself then maybe you might find someone
For relationship to sustain both couple have to have a very good heart toward each.
yes it is a 2 way street
Its obvious you take a poor Filipina lady out of poverty then she changes they don't appreciate what you do.
This was hard to stomach I'm glad he is still around to tell his story. I say because i once had a wife that me sleep with one eye open. You never know whats going through another person's mind or why. However, im a lil different, i would never stay in a relationship because of the kids. That toxicity can and will not only affect you and your next relationship but it most likely would have an negative impact on the overall development of the kids as they age. Its better in my mind not to be a part of that equation and love them from the outside if necessary.
thanks for sharing
@Max-oi9es you have to buy willie's line of bs first. he's notorious for changing stories, lying, exaggerating, etc.
@@47thunder-hu2kt Okay, I see he is one of those types, Thank You.
Drinking! Number one problem in any marriage.. downhill from there😮😮😮 nobody tells it the way it really was because its always a one sided story about an xwife and the marriage.thanks Mike for a oddball story😊😊
So true Richard
Could be , however sounds like she was a gambling or a drug addict and wasted all the money.
@@kevink1214 William is not the most reliable source.
Drinking, drugs, porn because she became cold, best thing I did was give up drinking, health is important when older.
You seem to think that women are always the victim. I had a first wife cheat. Had 2 kids. I went to counseling and group counseling. One woman had the nerve to say men are the scumbag cheaters. I had talked with 8 of the 10 guys and I told her in the group that you admitted to having affair and wanted happy..Well, 8 of these guys loved their wife and family and it's seems like it's 8 guys and 1 of you. The other women had wanted to get advice from us guys as ro how to save their marriage after separation. No cheating involved. That girl shut up after that. I said we're all alike? I think it's pretty evident we're not!
The only thing that makes him look really bad is when he is bragging about dropping a tree on her old home. Yes it was a very bad place to live, but by dropping a tree on her previous place he did eliminate her ability to return where he found her.
lots of mistakes made
Something is so sketchy and scammy about this guy… can’t put my finger on it, but couldn’t believe a word coming out of his mouth. He gives me the creeps!
more than one comment like this one
The whole story on this guy is more than disgusting , I have to shower after just hearing his voice
Exactly, there’s something going on behind everything he is saying. I think there’s some pedo, going on.
The fu$&ing you get for the fu$&ing you got🤷♂️😆
Happy wife happy life. Lucky she married you. Talk to much
Never buy a house unless you can afford to lose it or are in a super long term relationship (10-20+ years) especially an age gap one. The only way is to protect yourself; a prenup then incorporate and have a company and then have a lease as it is ALL Business but so often guys DON'T think and let their heart or little head rule them. Even Marriage is a Business and the problem is as a foreigner your the "outsider" so treat it as such otherwise you are the Fool in the saying. As the house isn't finished it will be hard to sell. As in Any divorce "Everyone Loses" and both sides will have hurt feelings and the problem could be another tree comes down on the house or something similar
thanks for sharing
No money no honey ,never marriage so you are the Master ,only rent a house not buy....
@williamabrams yes, leaving is the better or best choice! Forget and Leave everything behind, live peacefully and never give financial or economic support to those kind of people.
@williamabrams no going back Will, got to find a virgin as I plan to do!
@williamabramsYou did the right thing, saving your own life. Divorce is the answer!
We men need to learn to love ourselves first. If it's your own savings, then the property title must be on your name. A condo flat or a town house with condo title will be perfect. Or just keep renting until you decide to settle in an area permanently.
If the property is not on your name, then it's not yours, and you are more likely to get kicked out of the house. If you're renting you're safest.
just rent. prenups are not binding, the land will never be from you. same in Thailand
they say Thailand is so much better
When they need you..they will over love, cry ask where you all the time but when they don't need you it's over immediately as if you never existed 😅😅😅
same in the states. When it's over it is over!
🤣🤣🤣
what a crock of shit. i understand why you think this though. i can assure you love and commitment do exists. im married to a first generation chinese in america as a white man. she does not need me in any way, shape or form from a financial stand point. she is the one that works in corporate america. i got out of the rat race many years ago and manage our properties and animals. even though she is the primary bread winner she never tries to wear my pants as the man and head of the household nor does she want too. she always has a good morning and a kiss in the morning. we cant be in the honeymoon phase either since we have been together going on 22 years with 6 of those years living in a semi truck with a saint bernard on the road with no home other then our truck.
I’m shocked that old, fat guys would think a young hot chick would be interested in them beyond money. People can rationalize it for them to feel better, but that is the deal…and if everyone knows this it’s fine.
Sorry had trouble with the audio on my Mic, Hope everyone enjoyed the video and please leave a comment
I wish i had a forced delay on my mouth. it would have saved me from a lot of pain in the past.
I'm confused about the part of the story where he states his wife's daughter told him to be careful because of the insurance she took out on him... is it me, but I interpret that event as his wife was planning his demise, but he was stilling willing to work things out and help her financially... Really?
yes he still loves her
I know that is totaling baffling
I’m with you it makes no sense to stay after that!
Sorry to hear mate ,another xpat joins the statistics list ,only advice is don't think for a moment Thailand is any different , getting involved in a relationship in South East Asia is like walking into a casino with all the flashing lights ,sounds , atmosphere, very few hit the jackpot ,
Very true
Great analogy.
His wallet still appears to be unlocked and I see a lovely young thai girl in his future.
Right.
Good entertaining story. William, No need to bad mouth your ex . Let time heal your heart and move on.
thanks for watching
Very sad story. Hope William is able to keep moving on with his life.
sure he will
Im hoping he will shut his mouth too
@@WenggayEspinolahave you heard her side of the story? This is a very toxic marriage! Good story Mike.
@pablochicano his the one who's toxic in our relationship...lots of demands...when I will not follow it..he gonna block me in all SM
Different Expats, similar stories. Some are just fools and suckers. Some have a really big heart and want to help others. The problem is that men need to know how to protect themselves and safeguard all finances or investments. The Filipina is coached by older filipinas in her family, they know that the older expat is in the Philippines because they can't get what they want from women in their own country. It's not complicated folks, do your homework and don't be desperate
Great video Mike. Always guys be careful
Thanks! Will do!
She had a house and he destroyed it. He needs to write off that new house as a loss. He is a foolish man and does not seem to have learned a thing. My mother always said this to my father " I had a home when I moved into this one as your wife, and I WILL have a home if we part."
i agree give her the house
This guys a saint ...how dare she! ... I remember this guy was the Centre of controversy at some point a year or 2 ago between him and another questionable youtuber and the youtuber had his youtube channel canceled for threating Abrams life on one of his vids.
did not know that
seriously Abrams has a past and to feature him on your channel is a bit cringe in terms of his integrity. He has made his life and how he conducts himself very open via youtube so i feel i can comment on such@@mikesphilippineretirement
Been married twice and divorced three times :). I can relate but Im at my age were I can take it or leave it. Im not there yet but at this point its my retirement and No.1 comes first, learn how to say no. Good luck and IMO you did good, and now in a better place.
only you can take care of you
Thanks for sharing! The situation with "rich" foreigners is the same in Thailand and PH. So be careful with what you wish for...
Always like your videos Mike, would love to hear Janet's take on the "other" side of the story. Thanks.
Noted! she is working on it
Does she have a channel?
It’ll be interesting to hear her side to see what she says. So many red flags but right now all we’re hearing is his story.
we hope to have her on soon
Yes I agree with the original poster... It would only be fair to give her an open forum where she can tell her side. I applaud you Mike for being non judgemental to this gentleman, and you are right, there are always two sides plus the truth somewhere in the middle...
lmao ppl acting confused like he wasn't just her ATM. Hey tell my husband I owe you money, he'll give us money. Just another scam.
@@ThePhilippinePipeDream you're dealing with willie who's so full of bs he changes his story every week. he's got a history of spewing bs.
Never heard of the guy, but a woman scamming for money, I believe it lol
@@PhaseLineBourbon-lv3gg
There's much more to this story...An alcoholic can become a monster when drinking. I've seen a nirmal guy turn into a possessive A Hole in a bender all day
Overtime, it sucks the air out of the rekationship. Even a Filipina has her limits.
This story has been repeated hundreds of times all over SouthEast Asia. I'm t starts with..."But My Girl Is Different.".
Sounds like the bottle was more important than the relationship in the beginning 31:48
i agree
Most importantly, get yourself a good lawyer, and even though love is grand in the Philippines. Invest your love, heart and soul, but also be prepared to walk away…Good interview Mike, but a tough story… And definitely not the first like it or the last
good point
They both messy... just from his story alone i can tell they were both the problem.
Great interview from you. Good follow up questions, let him talk/ slid in good advice.
Especially about letting it go.
thank you
Another geezer temps fate chasing what his eyes crave and heart desires never caring about compatibility.
Geezer...hahaha
That was very interesting story. Hope Janet can interview the other party.
she has made a few comments and Janet is working on it
Aging has given you more wisdom and prudence. I admire your calmness and understanding of all variables. This is the life
thanks for sharing
Hello Mike it's a sad story for William!I just wonder if his wife supporting her parents and siblings?that's how a filipina wife of foreigner got pressured by the family.
There's always an emergency situations and the siblings taking advantage of her.I'm a filipina married to a foreigner my husband and talked about our money situation. He is okay with me helping my siblings and nieces as long as they use the money to invest their future like college education.I do work here and earned to help.I think that William wife's situation can be similar unfortunately she doesn't work and earn for herself. I hope not a lot of foregners falls into the same marriages. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you for sharing
Filipinos are not the only people who always cooking up sad story's family's included etc, On the Bright side hopefully these vloggs will wisen people worldwide especially western worlders who seem to fall under these spells in the name of love, especially Older Men nd Women seem to be the main targets.
Everyone knows that foreigners can’t own land in the Philippines. That being said, any house or land is going to be in the Filipinos name. The only thing that you can do is to have a 25 year lease on the land/property that will give you some rights or buy a condo that CAN be put into your name. You can hire a lawyer to draw up your lease agreement or to make sure that the title is good if you buy a condo.
good points
Invest only what you can walk away from and always have a backup plan.
No everyone doesn’t know.
@@pattskatoey3139 good man are stupid! I am one of them, so I know🤣🤣🤣🤣
For starters,..😅😅😅 it's sure stupidity if a foreigner willing builds a house for the filippina. When things go south,you as the foreigner you cannot get the house!!! NEVER EVER BUILD A HOUSE FOR THE FILIPPINA,BECAUSE IT WILL NOT EVER BE YOURS! JUST RENT.
Hi Mike, looks like this is over for him and he is back and forth with his stance on the relationship. Maybe Janet can find out the other side. Looking forward to more positive videos in the future thanks.
I hope so too, this is a positive video to expats coming to the Philippines seeing mistakes others made so they do not make the same mistake
That life insurance comment gave me chills.
Haha
Few western men , learn the game many girls here play.
Never call a Filipina stupid and non educated.
They can fool most educated western men . He really don't understand it , before its too lol she and sometimes not even then
To be a foreigner here , is not same as to be a foreigner in western countries
If it was not for my Filipino male friends, I might have lost all.
Since I was here in The Philippines fist time 2009 and until now, I have same pinot friends but many Pinays, has run away if they don't profit from our friendship or relationship's
Sadly, I usually only see foreigners jeng out with Pinays and other foreign men, make it more easy to fool foreigners who usually don't understand the language .
Keep it up!
thanks for sharing
lonely old western men thinking with their penis are the perfect target for clever young filipinas looking to move out of abject poverty.
Yes while many Pinays may not be “educated” they are by no means stupid. It is shocking how they are able to fool supposedly educated smart guys.
@@mikesphilippineretirement good vid
He is so naive. She had that boyfriend the minute her personality changed. He was funding his wife's and boyfriend's relationship. He should file the criminal complaints for adultery and concubinage as well as for the part of the hose. This dude is so stupid because she wants him back to have him killed to collect her one million pesos. He was played in the long run for years.
thanks for the comment
Happens to the best of us. Keep enjoying your retirement. Im fresh out my first relationship living in dumaguete. Much respect thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you! You too!
never build a house in philipines
The moral of the story is never invest more than you are willing to walk away from. A separation is one of many things that can happen, and you may need to bug out. Renting is so cheap in the philippines, and if a natural disaster occurs, then you can just pack and move on. A condominium is an option, but then you have money tied up that you can use for your retirement. Thinking that your going to take care of your wife after your gone is honorable but if you don't live close to her family then she will probably sell the house and move in with them or her children. Survivors' benefits can apply if your marriage is recognized by the United States. As far as yourself, you come first as this is your retirement, and they are better off for being in your life.
thanks for sharing
So sad for this guy ,but at least you had good luck finding Janet Mike , she is Golden
Good video thanks
yes I'm Blessed thank you
The story about the house has a number of holes. Why even build on it if you don’t have a legal lot? Why put a load bearing new roof on if the walls aren’t structurally sound? I would definitely call engineering if the house isn’t safe. Seems like he might have some liability if something bad happens.
buyer beware
It would be a complete miracle if William can still get it up
a whole lot of shaking going on..hahaha
@@mikesphilippineretirement It would make me physically sick even imagining fat Willy getting jiggy with it
@@mikesphilippineretirement I had to laugh when Willy said he doesn’t drink much ? on his last live stream from Thailand he drank a whole bottle of Vodka in his cheap hotel room and passed out on the live stream probably soiling himself at the same time .
He bragged that he killed Mr Joe , what goes around comes around
By the law, it's already conjugal property. And should be divided into two for both couple's shares. In the Philippines, there is unwritten rule regarding property owned by the couple. Usually, if the property is given by the parents or relatives of the woman's side, we acknowledge and respect that she owns it. Same case for man's side.
This guy sounds like a damn fool. I can’t believe his story at all.
something are hard to believe
Sometimes money & GREED change a person - it's NOT unbelievable,but it's TRUE... It happened everywhere
a woman can change from a angel to a demon when she said get out she probable done with him she used him forget about her kids she dont want him.
her fb shows she cares for her kids
If i was him i might not divorce her let her live with that
@@mikesphilippineretirementi sure she care for her kids but not husband. A Filipina family can often come before a husband.😢
But she wanted him for his grandpa good looks and shining personality!
Mike. Thanks for share that stories...
My pleasure!!
WHAT CAN I SAY WILLIAM !!! WE ARE LIVING IN A DANGEROUS WORLD ...A HUMAN MIND BOTH MALE N FEMALE IS UNPREDICTABLE EVER CHANGING ...I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU N THE REST OF THOSE WHO FELL THROUGH THE TRAP DOOR ..GUD LUCK TO YOU ..
trap Door?
Two sides to EVERY Story!
and the truth is in the middle
Agreed, and Mike, there's no such thing as the so-called "truth" in the middle. All we have are objective facts, and each person's individual perspective
This guy seems good , women are like this they change.
I used to be that guy - saving people. I’m embarrassed about it now, but lessons learned.
I had a home in his area I don’t know him personally but he was a heavy obnoxious loud drunk. He’s an eye doctor if I’m not mistaken. Rossi motor bike and a million pesos is nothing to loose. Get a divorce in USA coast more than that to get cheep lawyer. Cut your loss and don’t bad mouth her. Who cares whose fault it did not work out move on.
best idea is to just move on
That’s the best advice sir papabear! Cut losses and move to another country where they could not bother you or go back to the USA and live happily ever after!
no he's not an eye doctor he's an eyeglass fitter. he's tried to claim he's a doctor but it's bs.
@@Karma-dj2zk
I was thinking that how he is .
I hope you do not repeat the same mistakes in Thailand. Forget everything and cut contact with her and her family.Be careful if you go back, especially with the life insurance on your head.
let us hope he will be ok
Let this be an example to EVERY man, what not to do/allow EVER while married.
Especially to a single mother.
Are you kidding me dude!
He was kind generous guy.he was helpings her.before she became greedy for more money.not paying bills etc.he was good to her n family
Mike I respect you. I appreciate your objectivity and warm spirit. Everytime I see a post from you I want to watch to witness sincerity and good heartedness, and Janet’s as well. Keep up the great work. I am expatriating early Jan. Perhaps we can meet one day. 🙏🏼
you know we will
@@mikesphilippineretirement🙏🏼
The house he built looks more like a backyard outhouse or garage.
William was a step up in his words 😀😆😅😂🤣🥲😛😜😝🤨
This is why I'm sticking with rentals.
Best thing you can do. Just let it all go.
And stop listening to anything she says you'll be better off
thanks for the comment
Love your channel, but I couldn’t finish watching it. This dude just rubs me completely the wrong way for some reason.
Then go and buy, built a house in the Ph....😂
Why is that?
@@mikesphilippineretirement just something about him. I can’t put my finger on it. I think maybe it’s that his story is a bit one sided - “I was a good guy through everything, she was horrible” kinda thing. There’s always three sides - his, hers, and the truth. Or, maybe because he WAS the nice guy throughout and let himself get treated like a doormat. I’ll have to follow his channel to know more about him.
trust your gut 😂😂
@@jeremiethomas8005His story about bringing her to Thailand is full of holes because it can be really complicated for a Filipina to get a passport, I don't believe he was sincere.
I’m Pilipina and married to American man with no money and I worked hard to help him. Now we are together almost 20 years not included 3 years being boyfriend and girlfriend. Here’s the thing when we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, I had never asked him to send money.
Listen up old lonely sexually starved gullible men. This is a Filipina speaking to you frankly. Filipinas are by nature sweet, affectionate and kind. But destitute Filipinas especially the ones with children with no fathers bring that sweetness to the tenth level! Do not believe that they truly love you. They cook for you, clean your house, serve you like a king and have sex with you in any way you want. DO NOT BE IMPRESSED and naive to believe it is love. When they see a foreigner, especially AMERICAN, they will do everything in their power to cajole you to be emotionally and physically addicted to them because this class of Filipinas already know Americans can easily be fooled by flattery and service, sexual and physical. And remember: when you marry a Filipina from this social class you also marry their whole family which means you end up building a house for mom and dad, financially supporting them and other family members, etc. They prey on the kind heart of American men especially the old ones. You will RARELY find European men marry this type of young girls who have children. If they do go for a Filipina,, she is most likely educated and come from a middle class family. I could say more but this is becoming like a novel. I will close with a warning: Do not be a sucker! They have boyfriends on the side. Do not EVER bring them to the States because I promise you they will leave you after they’ve gotten that green card or a lot of them hang with you for 3 years, the time required to get their citizenship then leave you to the curb. With their citizenship they can then petition their relatives in the Philippines. We have a saying among Filipinos that it only takes 1 Filipino to get off the plane from the Philippines. Eventually that person will have his/her whole family living here in 10-15 years. BE SMART. YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO.
Women, women, women, I love it!
Willie also got his passport revoked for not paying child support 😊
who is Willie
@williamabrams what about your fake 'doctor' degree? SoCal School of Optometery registrar office has never heard of you or has your name (yes they regularly give out alumni attendance info for inquiries).
@@mikesphilippineretirement Willie is Abrams’ the fake doctor amongst other things
Gosh, listening to all of this. I'm so glad that I stayed single and still are since 2005. Nothing better an be in control of your everything. If, I feel to have some P.... ok, then I just pay for it and be done LOL. I Love my single life. Money in the bank and I'm the one in control Viva Life !
Enjoy your life
Don't forget to take care of your health. Maintain correct weight, exercise daily, stay away from booze and cigarettes, and your meds
Judicial partition of land among family is very expensive. You need to hire a good lawyer and every member of the family that have rights should agree.
good video mike. your guest said when he met her. she said " I heard you looking for a wife". RED FLAG. but love is blind.
Lol, he needs to cut his lose$ $$$ and forget the house.
He is not going to get house back. He ought to enjoy the rest of his retirement in Thailand.
He is in the 4th quarter of his life.
The PH courts already have her back. He is a foreigner.
yes he needs to move on and try to be happy
Just keep in mind in the comments section that anyone defending him there that it’s probably him with his numerous accounts. Old behavior he is known for in the past. Real piece of cuka.
he has said a lot and changes his story often to fit his mood
Hi I am sorry you endured this. Not all Filipinas are this way. You are such a nice man you will soon find true love. God bless.
😊 thank you
Hello✋🏼🖐🏽! We hope that he has learned from this experience because this is a scam that is being done all over the globe, right down to the personality and attitude change after 4-5 years. They do this personality change in order to try to provoke the spouse to divorce or abandon them after they have used the person for financial gain and lifestyle elevation. This also often involves other acquaintances who will claim that there is money owed in order to cash in on taking advantage of their victim. We hope he has learned from this experience and proceeds with caution with regards to his previous wife and any future relationships while living abroad. Our ex son-in-law from the DR pulled this trick on our daughter. Peace be with you ✝️❤️
I spent 6.5m pesos on a house for my fiance. I know full well if we aren’t together that I will lose the house. The biggest problem is where I built the house which was her home town and not my ideal location.
living close to her family is a blessing sometimes. Other times no so much of a blessing
@@MrPushpuller
What surprised me was the jealousy within the family. My fiancé has 6 nephews and nieces. Her one brother who has 2 daughters who I helped once (100k) my house impacted their house. They have a combined income of 58k and as teachers they get a 13 and 14th pay. They want to make sure their daughters don’t get left out of anything that I might give to the nieces and nephews even something as small as ice cream.
@@MrPushpuller
Yes and a simple thank you would also be nice.
@@mikesphilippineretirement I believe in a two island policy they live on one we live on the other.
When you accept the fact that whatever you spend on the house you can lose it all, will make your life a lot more happier and comfortable. I did the same thing 28 years ago and I accepted the fact that I could lose it all and walk away in peace.
Its not fair not to get the side of the Filipina to know who is telling the truth.
Funny hes telling this story where hes in Thailand now? If youre smart viewer, theres a lot of questions on his story. Just saying.
we agree many questions
@@lynne14344 she had kids, poor, living in a pig pan, he uplifted hervand her kids, she is uneducated, a no good ....
@@lynne14344 maybe to cushion the pain
I'm sure she's an Angel from Heaven
good story.
Thanks for listening
Wanted to hear the story but I can’t do a half hour of this guy. 4 minutes in. Had to bail
thanks for trying
We usually neglect to think logically. Why would a beautiful young lady choose a broken down old man who is basically broke with not enough money to live even a tight budget life style. When the lady discovers that he does not have the means to even support her in a basic style, she waves good bye. That would be after the man spends what little life saving he had on property that he cannot own. No way will he live happily ever after.
This vid DOES NOTHING TO INSPIRE TRUST IN MY PINAY!
"The Adultery Penalty in the Philippines is prison correctional from the medium and maximum periods which translates to 2 years, 4 months and 1 day to 6 years for the wife and her paramour."
INSURANCE MONEY?!?! Yikes!
My pinay informed me that her mother has cancer and has since ghosted me. She never a$ked for a thing from me. Maybe I missed making a huge mistake? I honestly do not know. Time will tell.
Interesting video, Mike. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Danno
Don't trust them but treat them with civility . The mindset is 3rd world not being mean its the truth. 15 years back and forth visiting the Philippines from the UK has been a major eye opener about the culture and mindset
Sorry Mike, but this guy's story sounds like anything but a love story. His story sounds like it was all about money and her lack of it why they got together in the first place. He seems very jaded about what happened and ig like to reserve my full opinion until Janet can get the other side. Great restraint and control from you Mike to get him back on task when he wondered off the path.
Thanks and Janet is working on it
I think people change and I'm sorry
of what you went through Mike with ex-wife.
hopefully, someday you will meet the right woman
with the reason to settle down and find a companionship,
a partner and respect..
I brought my husband in Philippines in Baguio,in Luzon,in Negros we live 3 years my husband like in Philippines but our growing kids living in Canada so we agreed to go back here.were happy couple ❤️sorry for you.
