Meet Paul, who's lived more than 9 years in the Philippines, and knows all the strategies for finding a good place to live, good food to eat, and a good woman to love. In this case, a foreigner's perspective is going to come in very handy!

[@Krular]

2019 my Philippine 30 Day Vacation - i was 39. I found a 21 year old Filipina that wanted to see her country. She met me at the airport when i arrived, did not leave my side the whole time i was there, and went to the air port with me when i left. Traveled to Manila, Cebu, El Nido, Mount Pinatubo, Angels. Ate out all the time. Stayed in several different hotels and hostels. Hiked mountains and a volcano. Swam with whale sharks, went to 3 stage beautiful wall fall. Rented a scooter, and went scuba diving. Did an island hoping tour and bar hopping in El Nido. I paid for both of us for the entire 30 days. My total cost for everything was $1486

[@adamthtguy9098]

Like Paul, I'm not interested in a woman that is much younger than I am because we really don't have much in common. I met my filipina girlfriend about three months ago online and she has stolen my heart. I'm so looking forward to meeting her in person soon, there is a seventeen year difference in our ages and I have never felt so much love from a woman in my life. Love her tan skin, dark hair, dark brown eyes, and cute filipina nose. She makes my heart melt everytime I talk to her.

[@Michael-xp9ln]

Hi Aaron, I was here part time in Cebu and Bohol from 2001 to 2015. From 2016, it’s mostly full time. Rents are very low. You can find some great rental deals everywhere. I came across some land in 2008. We did a long term deal and I have a cabin that was built specially for me. The cabin is for storage or I can live there. I also have an apartment in the city, where I stay most of the time. The units are on 2 different islands. The cabin would be great as a backup place for like an earthquake. Take your time on building anything as rental land. I love it here, and have no plans on ever living back in the USA. Good luck

Marriage in the USA to an American girl has been really good for me (and hopefully her). I think the key to staying married is an underlying culture of staying married, looking at your shortcomings, children, and shared values(for most of us, that's children). I'm trying to get my wife to spend our US winters in the Phils! As for "not inviting the government into your life/Marriage", I don't think it's as simple as some people talk about it.

I loved watching your video. This guy gives some honest advice. I served an LDS mission on Norther Luzon 1982-1984. I have always wanted to find a way to come back to live there, but still trying to make this dream a reality. In late 1986 I visited the Philippines and in 1987 I attempted to bring a Filipina here to the States with the intention to marry her. We never made it to the altar. I lived with heartbreak for many years because of this failed relationship. There was a 2nd Filipina who I should have married, but life got in the way. We both went in separate directions. The dream is still there, but I have other things in life that conflict.

Hi Pea, interesting interview, this guy seems to have a good perspective on life and also clearly is well grounded. I noticed he gave quite a modest budget for what you can survive on even although he clearly has a higher budget himself which suggests it's an honest answer. I'm really not sure he's a subscriber of yours though since he had to ask if you knew what the Twilight Zone was 🤣 I'm not at all surprised that you've watched some episodes.

Twilight zone was shown on Philippine Television on the 60s when I was growing up there. We had a black & white TV. They had all the American prime time TV programs.

Sorry to hear of your delay in coming to The Philippines. You really don’t need a ton of money to come here. Stop giving your money away to family. Try coming for a month or two first. Wet the feet. You know you can stay for 3 years without leaving the country. Just go to immigration according to their schedule each month or two for your updated visa. Pay the fees as required. Many apartments are available for you from $100.00, depending on the area. Cebu is good and lower costs. Try Korean air from major cities for a 2 ride trip, directly to Cebu-Mactan International Airport. Immigration and customs are 24 hours a day. Get the one year with return back to the USA. Zero to a small change fee on dates. I’ve stayed in the same booking class, with changes, and no fees several times. (could be changing) I’m 70 this year and been coming here from 2001. Good luck!

Paul knows what he likes and wants. He has been around and it seems like he is a reflecting guy worth listening to. I agree with most of his values, especially about equality and women. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@pintados3041]

I love how this man can chat with wit and great sense but awesomely funny at the same time. He is literally living his life that he wanted after retirement. 💞🏵️💓. He is simply just generous knowing that he has much. 🥰💖

[@arnoldseay9118]

Great interview as always Miss Pea. This guy is definitely living the dream. The years I spent in the Philippines were the best of my life. I like him have been all over east Asia and my favorite is the Philippines.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Is it because of the people? (because it sure isn’t the food) 🤣

@@TheFilipinaPea I like corned beef hash and tuna melts and pickled eggs. No Problemo. My biggest gripe is a lack of good quality coffee. Used to be just as bad in Thailand until the Thai government decided to subsidize poor farmers to grow coffee about 30 years ago. Volcanic soil is great for growing coffee.

[@LGR605]

@@Dana-ie2bh I couldn't agree more about the coffee. In the last ten years most of the coffee beans I've gotten are from the Aloha State.

I have lived in the Philippines for more than 13 years, over 8 years in Dumaguete where this interview was held, never met Pea yet but would love to have a chat about my experience there. I am married to a beautiful filipina, I could never have had this kind of retirement back in the UK. I feel safer here than the UK, the people are great, never had an issue with the locals, just be polite and good mannered and you will have on problem. On the other hand, there are foreigners here that tend to give the rest of us a bad name, mostly due to alcohol intake...

[@stoicfreediver]

Probably your best interview ever! Paul knows exactly what he’s doing! I would answer almost every single question in almost the exact same way.

Then come diving here, and meet Paul - you’d probably be friends 👍😊

[@stoicfreediver]

@@TheFilipinaPea I think that you are quite right about that! I’m on my way back, asap! It’s been 8 years since I first discovered Dumaguete and it’s still a likely candidate for where I’ll settle down. Can’t wait to stroll the boardwalk again 😃👍 See you on Patreon in the meantime ….

[@gradyriewer1641]

I just got back from the Philippines for the first time. I would like to live there if Vietnam doesn't work out. I was in Happyland by Caloocan and people were so friendly. I think they were happy to see a foreigner. It was very poor. I bought many of the kids candy. They were shocked at how tall I was since I'm 190cm

[@TheFilipinaPea]

You would be a GIANT in their eyes 🤣👍❤️

[@hiddentruth1982]

I have a friend that went on a mission to the Philippines and he said he would love to go back. Now I'm trying to get him and his wife to move there with me. I like that the Philippines has a deep rich culture that I want to learn about as well as the people. Not to mention I would love to find a good wife. I loved being married, just hated who I was married to.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

It makes all the difference in the world, yup 👍😊

lol... faucets that don't drip are out there... best wishes to you...

[@stephenbender7593]

You should have told your friend to go on mission trip to the US where it is needed more.

Paul is drowning in hair dye.

[@dj4monie]

How could someone hate who they are married too? Trying to convince others to go with you? 🛑 You need to solve that those issues first!

[@amazonseller-yf8vv]

This guy is crazy saying he wants things to be 50/50 around the house, but it's not gonna be 50/50 when it's time to pay the bills so let them put in a bit of extra effort around the hourse, that's where they contribute and it's important to let them do it.

[@WaynesWorld12]

I ❤️ Pea 🇵🇭 that's why hyenas hate her, she a baddie and classy ☺️

[@TheFilipinaPea]

The hyenas sure do! 🤣👍

[@STR123able]

Ha, ha. Funny stuff at times. And another great interview. Paul seems very natural and unconcerned about other people's negative opinions. Live and let live.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

That’s exactly right - the happiest people are the ones that don’t care what others say 👍

Love this interview pea… Paul is very talkative and pleasant..lol 😅 this dude is living the life ❤

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Indeed he is 👍🤣

[@edwardsanchez3708]

I just want someone who will not destroy the family unit we create together because she woke up one day and felt she was unhappy or bored. I clean up cook and take care of myself. I'm in the modern dating market and I have many women to choose to spend time with but these American women are mean spoiled and selfish and if you give them everything they ask for they end up hating you for it but if you just keep them as fwbs for some reason that lasts forever but you can't create a family with them or commit.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

That’s not too much to ask for 👍❤️

[@sprnightfire]

Great interview. One of my friends went to visit Japan. Then when he got back he was thinking of moving over there. Then a year later he moved to Japan. He absolutely loves it there. He says he will never return to the states again. I don't blame him one bit.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

He must have a lot of $$$

[@Dana-ie2bh]

@@TheFilipinaPea Japan is actually quite a bit cheaper than it was 40 years ago Pea. I remember spending $15 for a cup of instant coffee and a small plate of fried chicken and rice. Everything was sky high back then, the Japanese literally owned half of all the commercial real estate in Southern California. Then their own real estate bubble popped, and it's been getting cheaper over there for Americans ever since. A lot of Okinawa is almost as cheap as the Philippines. You ever spent any time in Japan Pea ? Do you have any Japanese friends ?

[@braithmiller]

Japan will let you apprentice. Work if your not at retirement and love it. You don’t have to be rich to be there. If they opened up earlier I would already have gone.

[@Penlandadam]

Yeah, Paul. Tell it. I agree. Marriage is a trip, but I am married to a wonderful Filipino woman. I love my wife very much. I love the Philippines.

[@azspeedster5465]

Great interview with Paul, Pea. He has his head on right and is living the life that many of us retirees dream about. I plan to visit the Philippines myself and see the place for myself. Unlike Paul, I am a widower, a retiree in my 60’s and in very good physical shape. I have no plans to marry again but the low cost living and the friendliness of the Filipino people is a great attraction. Thanks again for another great video! Great work!
