[@perry8498]

Thanks guys it’s a joy to watch your content

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks, perry

[@koufax174]

So happy and proud of you and Crissy with your channel. I waited until my mom passed three weeks ago and now I’m launched on my slow travel SE Asian adventurers. You provide a wonderful service. I appreciate your and Crissy’s efforts.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Sorry to hear about your Mom. Glad you’re slow traveling now. Rob and Chrissy

[@SirMountainpass]

I would not be surprised to see the channel hitting the 100k subscribers mark pretty soon ☺🏁

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

@@SirMountainpass oh we like that thought

[@JoeannAndDave]

My big regret is not knowing the culture or how filipinna women truly are. I almost lost her due to not knowing the full depth and scope of their personality. Being sweet is something most westerners arent used to and often make us suspicious and push back. Fixed it and things are great now.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for sharing Dave

[@marissajavier9340]

It's true. I agree.

[@albertmorrissette3640]

I have zero regrets from my experiences here. Everything here has educated me in many ways, thus every day is a growth experience.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks Albert for the comment

[@James-sz3rm]

beautiful trees outside the window. thanks for the warning about dirty aircon filters and cooling coils! freezing in 95f means body is fighting infection!

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks James

Met my Wife on Facebook at 50 she was an OFW in Hong Kong. I moved her too America and married at 55. I am now 60 and trying to figure out how to live in the PI when I retire at 67. Only regret is not saving sooner for my retirement plan.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for sharing

[@glenn9057]

good vid Rob. i love the stories. always interesting to hear about the journeys

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for the feedback Glenn

[@SPENJERE]

Very candid, awesome video. I wanted to comment so bad while watching the video about the exact point that Chrissy made, everything we’ve done in life , every single turn, every moment we’ve gone through is a steppingstone to where we are. One single thing done differently, and we wouldn’t be where we are today, I live with and accept all my decisions good and bad.😊

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Well said!

[@Eric-qm5xw]

I’m amazed how naive guys are when dating, it’s simple set boundaries.

[@koufax174]

No regrets here. I have always taken responsibility for my actions and have avoided any trouble. I’m a very happy clear minded do no harm person who has limitless possibilities

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Good to hear from you again Koufax, thanks for sharing

[@A-RHINO-IN-THE-PHILIPPINES]

2017 I found a friend an OFW and we talked 2-3 times a week. I went to PI again to meet someone... did not work. then 4 years later I went to see an old girlfriend in California. Me and my friend still talking. Friends. Now that we have been friends My OFW friend have grown into more. I will be back in Manila in March. Friends and more Now.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for sharing Rhino

[@denismoreau3646]

Good advise. On visiting the Phil’s I was just there for two months had no success with women but had a lot of scams. I was in CDO but wasn’t a subscriber till after I got back. I’m enjoy your podcast. I’m revisiting in Oct15 2024 sure hope I can meet the one but if not I’ll enjoy the Phil’s with all its beauty. Keep up the good videos 😊

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to write Dennis

[@DaveThompson-u8v]

G'day Rob & Chrissy, am subscriber and enjoy your vids. Have never heard the saying, "hire hard, manage easy". It's so true. What brilliant advice. One could apply it in a host of scenarios, I've written it down to be sure to remember. More vids please.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for the positive feedback

[@BobV-v9h]

Yes for infections, flu's or viruses people run to the hospital and are admitted for protocol IV Saline, for what comes with fever dehydration ,most time its not necessary, a few bottle of Gatorade with antipyretic will due. An Antibacterial will be a good add on for such an infection rather then an antibiotic ...You right on with you advice, myself being here for 15 years. Very enjoyable video ....

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for the positive feedback and for sharing this valuable information

[@Camiguinlife]

I met my Filipina wife in 1992 in NZ. We began a relationship in 1993 and have been together and married ever since. My first trip to the Phillipines wasn't until 2007. I regret not having come as soon as we got together. I feel like we missed out on the Phillipines while we were still very young. We've been making the most of it since 2007 though!!

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for sharing your experience Shane

[@rogerhanson4008]

Hey guys, my wife and I enjoy your show. We live in Malaybalay and would enjoy meeting you. I believe you are in CDO

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Yes CDO Uptown. Yes we would enjoy that.

[@gymwhite1911]

I would have transitioned from teaching in the United Stated to become an international educator early in life, although it did teach me to appreciate the respect other countries respect educators.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks Gym

[@stevenschrift2761]

Yes airconditioning is really bad like you said as the hotels never clean the vents out, I was unaware of this myself while in Thailand when I rented a condo out , after getting sick I had the place deep cleaned in all the aircon vents you need to deep clean airconditioning vents out with a skilled technician that knows what he's doing and have it done often if you use the aircon all the time maybe 4 times or at least 3 times a year.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for sharing Steven

[@rf3899]

I wish I could move there sooner, but I have to wait another 9 years to retire at 62.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Keep the dream alive rf

[@TheBlackManInTheVillage]

The only regret I have is I wish I had made my move to the Philippines sooner, I love this country. Nice golf swing 🙂 (new subscriber)

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for subscribing and taking the time to comment

[@rorybellamy2533]

Lovin Chrissy . Legionnaires is from dirty AC. units .

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks Rory

[@BIGALINTHEPHILIPPINES]

Another good video ... thanks for info about aircon 😂 and I have no regrets meeting my filipina Wife except wish we met sooner ❤

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Exactly big Al that’s exactly my thought I wish we had met sooner

[@papadougpapadougsadventures]

I’ve been to SE Asia 3 times in the last year and 1/2. Each time I’ve gotten the illness you described. The first visit was Manila, second was Dumaguete, third was Bali. It really sucks to be sick 1/2 of each of your vacations. My poor Filipina had to go get medicine multiple times at the pharmacy for me. She was a perfect nurse. Maybe it shows me how she would be as I grow older. I’m 64 and she’s 35.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Hi Papa, Doug, great to hear from you again thanks for watching this video and taking the time to comment

[@marissajavier9340]

Patience is real.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

👍

[@marcprobin1659]

it must be close to 6pm there! Getting dark.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Yes Marc, we ran out of light

[@TobyBloom]

Wow! First month. May have to bring meds with me

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

👍

[@DR23184]

Thank you for the great information. I understand that getting American men's clothing is very difficult there. Have you had any issues getting clothing that fit well?

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Dr. We don’t really wear much here, I brought everything to last a lifetime. Most goes unused. TShirts and shorts

[@travistee3826]

I'm arriving in Davao in March to meet someone I found online and have been chatting for about 1 month. I'll be taking things slowly. Your vids have been a really helpful source of info. My hint at dating sites is to message the girls, rather than get swept up with those approaching you. I'll update how things go in March.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Good advice Travis

[@walkerskii]

"Rebound Mode" is a metaphor Philippines have never heard before, to start with, they don't understand the word rebound, & it's not a basketball term

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for watching Walker

[@michael_Jon7]

Hey Rob, what’s happening brother? It’s a beautiful afternoon here in Florida sunny skies. Hello Chrissy. I really enjoy your perspective and when I do arrive whenever I can nail down the exact dates, I would love to meet with you. I also intend to email you as the dates get closer. I’m sure you have some valuable advice to provide.😎✌🏽 I als

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

[@lordstephen7813]

Very good. Always keep your eye on the ball ! 🙏

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks Stephen

[@papadougpapadougsadventures]

Looks like you really lucked out on that house.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Absolutely

[@StephenOrsini-yb9nz]

Did you put a ring on Chrissie finger? She's a catch.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Yes Stephen we’re engaged. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@TobyBloom]

In the Filipinas have class

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks, Toby

[@walkerskii]

Why are you not supposed to sing Frank Sinatra's My Way?

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

People have been shot, they take their karaoke seriously

[@joemancini2988]

Rob, get the Prevnar-20 vaccine for bacterial pneumonia.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks, joe I’ll look into it

[@bbab212]

Rob, I just found your channel and subscribed! May I ask you how old are you? Thanks for the great content 👍

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks. 67

[@russberry3240]

🥰

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks

[@27701gold]

I agree with Chrissy, to me I like knowing a person before falling in love. Yes, I am attracted to a beautiful Filipina, and yes, I have been talking to a Filipina for 8 months. Physically she is very attractive, and I have to accept that, because a lot of sexpats do ogle her and approach her, but I am lucky because I have known her for 8 months, and to me the beauty is who she is, the real reason I fell in love with her, not what she is. I love this girl, and she loves me.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Thanks for sharing! Gold

[@Sunmoon-gj9gy]

I got a pneumonia vaccine before I arrived in the Philippines

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

So did I. But Bacterial infections?

[@mixnmichael1]

I guess it might pay to just pay for an ac cleaning.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

👍 thanks Michael

[@markking3755]

if you are going to retire in a different country then the one you wher born in why would you still be looking for a western life style. this to me is a oxymoron to find a western life style in a different country. if you really looking for a western life style then just stay in yoru own country for you will not be happy.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Good point Mark

[@frazzec]

You can take the girl out of the bar, but BUT..........never can take the bar out of the girl. Believe me i have dating in PH for many year and many girls, now steady for 5 year.

[@bryankoziar2867]

Speaking of "I did it my way". Don't ever sing that song in karaoke. People have died for it.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Hi Bryan yes it’s amazing. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@ChuckFasst]

" Never date a bar girl." I keep hearing this. You hear this over here too. There must be plenty of Philippine women who go into bars for the live music, dancing, and socializing. I'm sorry, but I just can't see myself trying to make a move on some woman in a mall. To me, it seems more creepy than the bar scene. 😐

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Chuck, here in Asia and many other places in the world. The term bar girl is synonymous with a working girl someone who exchanges sex for money.

[@ChuckFasst]

​@@FlyMeToThePhilippines Heh heh. Your talking to an old Vet from out of Olongapo City. Coming up on 50 yrs. Now. 😂

[@rickmartinez8232]

Chrissy is awesome. Why does he stare at her so much instead of the camera ? Creepy

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Rick, another comment told me not to look at the camera only look at her you guys need to decide which one is better

[@DanielHeath-l2y]

Your contact email does not work. Please update it so I can get some help.

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Daniel my contact email is…. [e-mail]

[@JohnTaylor-yk9hl]

Never talk about past relationships to your Phil girlfriend at all costs

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

John, that is very good advice

[@rudolfantonmaier755]

I thought your girlfriend has a child why can't we see that

[@FlyMeToThePhilippines]

Hi Rudolph, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment KZbin frown on showing children and videos. We flashed a scene of him at the basketball court two or three weeks ago.

[@walkerskii]

This commonality of Filipinas being embarrassed, they just have a problem with pride, get over yourselves and stop taking your image so seriously. Filipinas insecurities make them far too worried about what others think of them, they just need to relax and feel good about themselves simply because they are a good person, not based on others opinions, & stop worrying about it
