ACCIDENT RECOVERY, WHAT IS UNFAIR TO FOREIGNERS IN PHILIPPINES.

[@tedm4932]

Juells, you got so much good damn common sense ! people are truly missing out by not watching your videos. The #1 thing that brought me here on your channel is your 100% good common sense , which is so lacking today everywhere ! All I can say, you never have to worry about your kids, cause they are well trained with good sense to honor life liberty & the pursuit of happiness . . . . .Right On Right On 😎 God Bless My Distant Friend 🙏

[@tinaraphael9783]

You're absolutely right in that case the Police should arrest that man who hit you and put him in jail.

[@daddybob6096]

Hi Juells, i'm from New Zealand and married to a Filipina and we have a home in Northern Cebu. The same thing happened to us in a small town north of our place called Damulog when i turned left at the local hardware store. It was 2010, and a young guy, riding HabalHabal, overtook us at very high speed plowed into us and we crashed onto the road.Luckily we were not hurt much apart from abrasions. The Police got involved, but because the kid, (21), had no money, i declined to press charges. I should have because his family ignored me when we passed their house out walking after that. (Ungrateful.) In my country, i'm an old Highway cop both Bikes and Black and Whites. Your advice to viewers about not using motorcycles as personal transport is sensible advice. We gave our Kawasaki away to my wifes brother following that incident. Take care Juells. Bob. NZ.

[@lizcarlyle2477]

Right on! Experienced all this bs while living in Asia! People complain about the US but we have fairness. Nothing but gators! Take care.💙

[@OurPhilippineAdventure]

Glad you’re doing better buddy. As far as your rant, you are spot on with this conversation. I been coming here 20 years and enjoy it here but sometimes I have the same feeling as you. We are here for 3 months this year. Thanks for the video brother

[@philipcooper3330]

I agree with your rant and feel ya. You are right brother on all accounts! Ill tell ya, that hit run feller, he needs to be located and dealt with either way. So sorry you’ve had to deal with all this crap. Get well and keep your head up.

[@JawjaFilipino]

Hey brother. Your videos on your motorcycle accident has been EXTREMELY helpful for my family! We’re moving there in the summer. My 18 year old son insisted on getting a motorcycle when we arrive. Told him nope. We’re sticking with a 4x4 truck exclusively because bikes are too freaking dangerous. Showed him your videos. He’s thinking logically now. Thanks!!!

[@frankb.269]

Even for filipinos the law is one sided. My filipina friend went to the Police station to make a complaint about a filipino who is refusing to pay his debt to her (he bought things from her). Well, turns out the police chief is a cousin of the guy. So the police chief confiscated my friend's phone, put his gun to her head and threatened to kill her if she didn't drop the case. True story

[@keonesilva3646]

Thanks for sharing real life brother. I am 73 and still ride a Harley. Hoping to come visit soon from Hawaii.

[@brianrayburn7350]

Hey Juells you’re doing good buddy! You have been through a lot the past few months, you have your family and wife and many friends brother! You’re right the world has changed big time bud. You just needed a good vent today buddy, get it out and let it go man! Love you buddy hang in there there are some good folks out here still!! Your good people friend 😊!!!

Juells, Brotha I agree Completely with your opinion (s) this video hits the nail on the head.i have been following you for sometime now. My first comment to you and your beliefs. Unfortunately I am laid up healing myself not from a accident. But mark my word when I am able to get around. I would cherish meeting you and family for dinner. Keep the videos coming. The best to you and family...Right On!!!

[@davem8898]

[@roberthertel5565]

Sorry to hear about what happened to you and your wife and hoping for a speedy and full recovery for both of you and that somehow justice is served and that the ahole who injured you two is apprehended AND actually held accountable. Have to say overall you're in very good spirits considering the horrible experience you are going though.

[@samuelmartin707]

Great video Juells!!!! I am glad you are feeling better. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!! Juells I live here for 17years now and I dont trust nobody. I always call it the way I see it. God Bless my friend!!!!

[@richardhernandez6937]

I’m also an US expat. Yes I agree with everything you said, except one. You said you don’t want to generalize on all Filipinos. Well, all Filipinos, no matter how close of a friend you think there are, will talk behind your back. Even close family members that you have help out in some way or occasionally take out to eat, will talk dirt behind your back. This behavior isn’t just directed against foreigners but also directed against other Filipinos. It’s very much a cultural thing to put on a fake smile. I would also say, those beggars on the street, whom you have handed out money to, would themselves walk over your body if the roles were reversed. The Philippines has made me very jaded. Maybe it is the crushing poverty that changes the true goodness in men and women heart.

[@JunBermz]

There’s no difference from the people here in the US. You’re speculating and over-generalizing but here you are also talking about other people.

[@screamdreamer]

@JunBermz ...you think?

[@cosmickiwi08]

Just had to drive to Dumaguette yesterday 4 hrs from Neg Occ in my multicab on a visa run. It's always an iffy trip with potential disaster around every corner but im used to it. Probably over 50% of vehicles on the road aren't registered and driven with no licence with faulty mechanical and bald tires and are an accident waiting to happen. Traffic is fairly light on the trip until about Dauin and gets crazier going into Duma. I'd never ride a bike in that entire area and I've ridden all kinds of bikes all my life. I saw about 20 close calls on my trip that could of ended on death and was so thankful to have 4 good wheels under me and be surrounded by metal.

[@ofeliacabasal3948]

I’m glad you’re doing better now. Don’t lose your sense of humor, love it when you cuss 🤣🤣🥃

[@joeknight3269]

you really needed to vent bro hope things get better and you've convinced me I'm not getting a motorcycle when I come there.

[@kevink1214]

Yes we can hear the frustration in your voice. I had a friend that the exact same accident happened, Needed to turn left, checked his mirrors and saw no one, signaled and then in the middle of the turn someone hit him from the left side. He had no idea where the guy came from, and why he did not see his turn signals. The the police asked him if he would pay for the other guys motorbike to get fixed....imagine that nonsense, And of course the guy did not pay for any of my friends medical expenses not repair the broken parts. Be careful out there.

[@frankb.269]

Once I rented a car in Cavite from a filipino. I parked the car in front of my filipina girlfriend apartment. The neighbour's son (looking like 16 yo), who probably doesn't a driver's license, got the family car out their yard and hit my car. When I came out, his mother came on the scene and started implying that it was my fault, that my car was not parked properly. Which of course was total bullshit. When the owner of the car (the one I rented from) arrived on the scene, he gave it to her and she had to pay

[@allencoffland1685]

may you all get well soon. i don't really have a dog in this fight, but can't argue with putting all info about living in Fils as foreigners out there so people can make a more informed judgement about whether to live or even travel there. props to you for keeping it real, in your own good ol boy fashion.

[@kimonharamis7812]

Down but not out. Another inspirational video from the Duma poet.

[@Thephilipcartmelexperience]

You're the Energizer bunny, a Timex watch... takes a licking and keeps on ticking. God bless, brother. That's why my bike is parked and we take the car. It's a Wigo and dirt cheap to run. My wife gets our AC cleaned for 300 pesos. The more I watch, the more I relate to you. Take care.

Pretty good rant. But I can't blame you at all. Anyone that knows you, knows you love the Philippines and its people. Sadly, what you describe is part of the problem that has kept the country from developing faster.

Very true , Thailand has gone ahead in leaps & bounds , Phillipines is behind

[@rdc5182]

How much was your hospital cost? I am sure you were over charged by a significant amount. I live in Ormac and the cost to service my air-condition unit is 500.00 PHP. They come to the house with a air/water pressure device with other tools and they (2 guys) service the unit. It normally take 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. I don't know how big your unit or if you have more than one unit to be service My unit is a Sharp 1 horsepower unit I think. I have had it serviced maybe 5X over the past 4 plus years. They say(service manual) to do it every 3 months but I dont. Maybe they take your unit beck to their shop which maybe the reason for the additional cost. Before I have anything done I ask the locals what is the average cost. I can't depend on my wife to know. I also contact 3-4 places for a quote. I also sometimes ask to see their eqipment or ask about their equipment. Price gouging occurs everywhere including the USA. Using wisdom and common sense will significantly reduce the occurrence of over paying in most cases. (Especially Hospitals!!!) I wish you well. Respectfully

[@willieshoemaker8680]

Very good point I hope some hear... the what if? what if the USA changed some laws to reflect fairness, mostly how the law and justice work and immigration...One big example if you bring your fiancée to USA get married then break up, they still hold their green card noooo problem but what happens to your 13A.... yeah just one example.

[@googleeyes4182]

You know Juells I don't know you from Adam but I've followed your adventures in the Philippines cause you make sense in how you've struggled to survive with such hardships that have confronted you there. But, in this video you made some very strong and very good points concerning our relationship with the Philippines. As a US citizen along with our government we help the Philippines defend it from the abuse China poses. The Philippines government should be just as attentive to care for expats as it does it's natural born citizens. I don't mean for this to go too political but hey, those politicians are there to help it's people (including it's expats) to live as safely and orderly in such a beautiful place that it is. AND THOSE AVERAGE FILIPINOS LIVING THERE SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THAT TOO!!!

[@daviddenison3895]

Damn it's one thing to be a greenhorn. It's another thing when someone who has lived there for years and is well aware of the danger and is still blindsided. That's scary man. Riding a motorcycle sounds like fun, but if even an experienced driver is getting harmed makes me want to taxi anyway.

Hi juells. I think you are a really good man Really enjoy your videos but when you do these content videos and I know you know this but I’ll mention it anyways. You always have a few bad apples.

[@retiredcryptohunter9031]

Speaking of the foreigner price I’ve started to learn what the true price of things are and now if I get the foreigner price I let them know that I know and I walk away. Eventually they’ll learn because they will lose money. One example is a house that I was previously renting. The owner is a Filipina and lives in the United States and gave my wife and I a price over Facebook marketplace and then when we showed up they added 1000php to the price and then upped it again the next year. We are friendly with the owner but it drove me crazy because she said she was happy that we were renting because we always paid on time and we took very good care of the house but I moved out to another house and now she’s having a hard time trying to rent out her house. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I am on a budget and I don’t have time to deal with people trying to charge me the foreigner price.
