Good afternoon mike just following up with my health and stuff in 2 years here at 67 years old. At home I had high blood pressure 3 medications with insulin. Neuralathy. Degenerative disk. Chronic pIn. After 2 years. I've lost 40 lbs. No more blood pressure meds.Diabetes medication cut in half. No cholesterol problems. Great blood tests. I credit this to Philippines diet. Fresh fruit and veggies every day. No soda. Very little drinking. Great video Mike! Always enjoyable. BTW. I heard the other day you had another Charles out here. I'm CharlesF from San Carlos Negros Occidental. God Bless you 3!

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

Seems I have as many Charles as I have Mike's watching and commenting thank you again and sharing that good news on your health

Just don't eat at Jolibee 😂. In all seriousness though many people throw shade at the Filipino food here. Truth is much of it is junk and awful for your health. Like anywhere in world if you stick to low sugar and healthy organic foods you will get better outcomes. If you're an old guy here be sure to keep health checks always

Only been here for 2 months in Bohol, loving the place and people. Met a wonderful women in church.Very shy, we talk on Facebook messenger every night for hours, even though I can walk to her house in 2. minutes. That has made her a lot less shy speaking English in front of me when we do meet everyday. She asked me if I would have a courtship with her in front of her family. When I do I earn her respect and the love of her family. Highly recommend doing that and meeting someone in church.

Hello Mike Paul m 1952 going to be 72 June your a straight shooter and a genuine bloke and a good ambassador for USA keep doing what you're doing and loose some weight for longevity, anyhow I have had a long time relationship with a philipina woman she is 54 and has a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and never lapsed in her work ethics and I have known her since October 2020 during covid and I have been to the Philippines for one month and I have since supported her since the beginning met all of her family and friends and we communicate 2+ times every day since we met but the annulment process is slow and I would like to live with her but although she is legally separated from her husband for 17 years I don't want to jeopardize myself with the laws of the Philippines if I go to live with her and how much is health insurance the annulment is moving along but has been 3+ years I love her and she loves me and we call each other WhatsApp wife or husband and the clock keeps on ticking need your input and others who subscribe to you I want to be with her she is my every at this stage of the game

[@georgklinkhammer6024]

Your story matches my story in many ways. However, I haven't found a "Janet" yet. Very beautiful, touching story. I experienced a lot of bad things in Afghanistan, among other places. Here I have the opportunity to find myself and every minute here is valuable. In contrast to your story, I initially sought solitude in nature. I crossed the entire island of Mindoro mostly on foot. Now in Davao I am around people a lot again and can enjoy it. Everyone should find their own way. George

Greetings from Panama. I am now close to 5 years in Panama, what should be normally a 5 month vacation. Right. Came to Panama after I was invited by friends. November 2019 flight Edmonton Alberta to Panama City. Pandemic started and I was stranded for 2 years in Panama. Wasn’t allowed to fly back home. Anyway. Like you said. Try out nice and warm countries for the retirement living. After my last online request for my return flight was again denied, I just had enough from Canada. Sold everything and just enjoyed Panama. Originally from Germany, I would have never dreamed of sitting every day under Palm trees and enjoying a cold beer. Even started last year in June to build my own house here. There is no hurry in finishing it. I just enjoy doing it. Coming home before it gets too hot outside and enjoying dinner with my girlfriend. Difference how you met your Janet, I did find my lady on the street. Old style. Enjoy your life!

I’m very happy for you Mike. It’s great to know there are these options internationally, which you’ve transitioned to well. You described so accurately the stresses of living in the US, it’s especially difficult now with the divisive political situation as appalling as it is. I’ve traveled to 53 countries and I do like the Philippines. I think Filipino people are some of the happiest, friendliest, and most unselfish, attractive and loving people I’ve met. Best to you and Janet!

On my current pension, we can live REALLY well in the Phillipines. Gotta stay here for now due to elderly parents.

Slow pace in Dumaguete. You must be kidding. That place is a cesspool. 134,000 people. Who knows how many motorcycles and not one traffic light in the entire city. Garbage on the streets. I just got back from 3 weeks there. I didn’t see one city worker doing anything in Dumaguete. If there are building codes they are certainly not enforced. Shoddy looking condos and other buildings going up just anywhere there is space to put them. I married a Filipina there in 1987. We have lived in the United States since then and we will continue to live here. Dumaguete is not fit for a human being to live in. The pollution from all of those vehicles is horrible. My last trip going there.

Mike- Youve been a natural at communicating to us great info, those of us who are in that same routine US situation of HBP, alone, etc. Your story is therefore a godsend to us close to retirement seeking the benifits you describe. Your vlogs made it practical for me to do a couple recon visits and stay at your recommended Sierra Resort which turned out a great value and location. And you were kind enough to meet me in person. So far your videos, presentations and looks have improved so much in the last year and a half. Your better health and happiness shows each time. Solid balanced serious info w a smile and in a down to earth way we understand and relate to. paced and organized for those of us older guys to get an accurate picture of life there. Visiting proved to verify what you are talking about, pros and cons.

Great video. Mike, I am so grateful for your opinions and openness about you life in the Philippines. No BS, no exaggeration, very transparent.. Between you Vlogs and Paul's, the Old Dog, your information has very much inspired me to consider, and eventually decide that this is where I needed to be. Long story short, I have met and married a Filipina. Later this year, we will settle in her home town outside of Daet in Bicol. Her town is a charming, quiet, beautiful, and well equipped to handle the rain drainage. I am so blessed in that her family is awesome. Her son is well mannered and quite positive in his life outlook. In June, we will travel back for her son's high school graduation. We have much to do, but a gig part of this travel is to get my wife's name change completed. As you are now well aware, the red tape and always changing requirements, can be very daunting. But we will get it handled, one bite at a time. (like eating an elephant). All this to say, I hope that we can take a side trip to Dumaguete and sit down with at least you and Janet, because of your inspiration for me. Buy you a meal, and maybe even get Paul and Mae to come along. Again, I appreciate all your "real" advise. Honest, no hyperbole. Much thanks.

Thanks a lot for your video Mike. I am in the transition for moving to Philippines. When you recorded the video I was there. I´ll be for a second time and a longer period of six months. All the question you asked yourself were also in my mind. I have at the moment only the experience of two months there and was positive, I did´nt want to return to my country. I share with you the same purposes and the same needs regarding starting a new life. Has been very useful, encouraging and interesting for me to have been able to listen to you. Thanks again for sharing your personal experiences.

Good job Mike. I worked with the Philippinos for a very long time, they are hard workers and good caring people. I am ready to come and stay in Dumaguete City. I am looking forward for this trip.

Very nice story but I would just recommend anyone going on a first date to first meet in public places until trust is built, video chat or not.
