Watching little kids run around and play makes me happy. The thing that stands out to me about the PH is how safe it looks and feels. Love the channel Jay, keep the video's coming.

[@jaysphilippines]

Good morning buddy! It's vlogging season for us. Lol time to get things going. Holidays and Phil's are coming soon. Hope your doing well. Jay

[@mikeb9189]

Dumaguete my future home, 25 months to move there permanently. I can’t wait to raise my FilAm family there. Negros Oriental & Dumaguete is perfect for me, everything I like a need and were Freedom & self Responsibility, family, friendliness, and courtesy rule. Heck only one traffic light in the whole province. Happy you guys going back to visit this fall. Eat some of that seared tuna appetizer at Casablanca on the Blvd for me… it’s delicious. Jay’’s Pizza joint on Rizal someday would be great. Take care

[@jaysphilippines]

Seared tuna sounds nice, Def check it out. 25 months is nothing. I love what I see in Duma and I'm sure it will only get better over time. Look forward to knowing you better.

I love seeing White men interracial marriage. It means WHITE RACE is doom to become minority. Most Western countries and Europe now is flooded with Africans, Asians and Muslims 😂😂😂😂

Hi Jay. Just eating my dinner here in Japan. I like the down-to-earth, family-friendly video format. Posting more videos regularly can really help your channel grow. However, it really depends on your priorities and what’s important for you and your family. It’s been an especially busy time for me over here recently. I decided to start growing blueberries, so have been busy adding them to my food forest. Looks like the corn in your neighbor’s field has been harvested. Hand picked? I see lots of dried-up, brown corn stalks now. I’ll be in touch again soon. God bless. David.

[@jaysphilippines]

No, hand picking here, huge John deere harvesters running around. I'll film some this week. I like the idea of a food forest in Phil's. Love to have alot of my own things to eat. I really want lot of coconuts, making lotions and soap and random things coconut is good for. Blueberries are nice. I'm only one in household who likes them. I'd love a smoothie bar, protein drinks and such with fruits. Be cool to produce alot of your own fruit to sell. I got your email. Be writing back soon. When I think about what you wrote makes it hard to be patient. I've felt that way for over 3 years. It's nice seeing others recognize it also. Be safe and catch you soon. J

[@4302arod]

Hey brother Jay! Welcome back!! You were giving us withdrawal symptoms from no videos from Jay's Philippines. I'm looking forward to getting back to the Philippines in January.

[@jaysphilippines]

Well, it's been a heck of a month. Lol. If we go to Phil's we will Def be there in Jan. Hope you're doing well buddy. Catch up soon. Jay

[@FREEINPHILIPPINES]

Can't wait for you all to come back and meet you all

[@jaysphilippines]

Absolutely 💯, we are excited. Alot to get done in short time frame.

[@amigo2k10]

Glad to see another video man I will be touching down in Manila in 17 days

[@jaysphilippines]

Lucky you, I can feel that excitement from here. I get nervous about a month out from going. Lol

[@amigo2k10]

[@bornonjuly7052]

[@limtseho3540]

I love your channel jay, you keep it real 😊😊

[@jaysphilippines]

[@carolinaloreto2956]

Wow, dumaguete really improved. I was there 26 years ago, and it's so much a big difference now. Someday, i will visit there again

[@jaysphilippines]

Yes, I really enjoyed it there. Hope you can make it there again.

Glad to see you squeeze some time in for us Jay! Thanx

[@bradleymiller7375]

@@iteliano yeah us stupid people supporting him helping with his life wages and he makes very little time for little people if u kiss his ass! To bad Jay, I spit out the truth! I don't ride the fence like vloggers! Saying crap to get more subscribers! Phony and pathetic! At its finest another vlogger from Dramagetea! U fit right in!

[@jaysphilippines]

Lol, I'll be making more time here. We got lots to get done and get busy with this channel. Appreciate you!

[@warehouse1429]

Definitely keep up the fitness content. Show the whole family exercising. Healthy eating. Fun, love, laughter. All the good things. And sure there will be challenges and show those too. But I feel a very positive channel of family life anywhere is a much needed thing. Also the intro to this video was great!

[@jaysphilippines]

Seems to be a simple enough format, its literally just daily living. Its def gym season approaching. Time for the little one to participate much more. Appreciate you buddy.

[@robadventure8007]

What your doing is very right...talk about everything before you go into anything, about your future plan to go back do bussiness and do vlogging! Good luck in your decision Jay👍🙏

[@jaysphilippines]

Thank you Rob!! 😊 good hearing from you! Jay

[@Lazy-A-L33]

Jay, it is good to hear that nothing is wrong. Nice informational video.

[@jaysphilippines]

Everything is great, things are getting good for Philippines again!. 🇵🇭 hope your well buddy!

[@robertarmstrong9422]

Thanks Jay for sharing your video. Looking forward to your Philippines blog travel. You hit a lot of the things I’m looking into for my next travel around end of February time frame such as traveling to the different places and with my new routine in wanting to keep working out while traveling. Thanks Jay again for another great video.

[@jaysphilippines]

Thank you Robert! Look forward to hearing about your trip. Yes, we are making the plans now and ideas for the trip. Ready to get this channel going again. Stay safe out there. Jay

[@maysielefebvre2350]

I am your follower from Canada and enjoy your vlogs in the Philippines and USA or wherever you go with your lovely family. Your videos of daily activities are very interesting.

[@jaysphilippines]

Thank you Maysiel! Appreciate you!! Hope you are well. Jay

[@brittbrittingham9871]

Well until I kick the bucket, I think I will be watching your channel . God Bless . And don't you 2 work to hard !

[@jaysphilippines]

No kicking buckets anytime soon!! 💪

[@jaysphilippines]

Work is slowing down finally, much more manageable. Just a few more to do. God bless and stay safe!

[@TheRicioShow]

Jay I love watching you and your family in both Philppines and USA 🇺🇸 you know I am so thankful my mom and dad brought me to Philppines when I was 12, 14 and 16 then age 50 then after 2nd divorce here in Virginia . I get to live a 2nd lifetime at 57 plan to retire in age 4 62 and hope to find a Filipina for next or last 30 years 90s hehehe. Was born in Philippines brought to usa age 4. Now 57 and want to live in Philppines when I retire. I am always flexible as life unfolds. Keep crushing that shed business. As a CPA the only difference between having money and not having money is money hahaha 😅

[@jaysphilippines]

That's awesome to hear that about your parents. I am doing same thing and can only hope she remembers it all and loves me for trying. 😀 we can both try and push to 100 years old. I want to see my little one turn 50. So, we got work to do.

[@aidatayao2229]

Always pray 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jaysphilippines]

Thank you so much! Jay

[@jamesblack1460]

Not hard to understand your love for duma . I’ll be moving my family and living there in the near future as well. Great advise about getting to know the locals and avoiding most foreigners , less drama that way .keep up the great direction on your channel

[@jaysphilippines]

Hey James, good to hear. I'm sure we will talk more. Hope your plans come through and get there soon. It's fun thinking about what's to come.

[@jamesblack1460]

Planning your future in a different country is exciting . Wrapping up your existing bussiness or managing it from a far is the challenge

[@jl909-nr5vx]

Corn is dying back...guessing it's feed corn (drying on the stalk). For most, Phils is a place to visit, maybe even regularly...but most will not choose to live there year round. Channel has been quiet...but like I said before...you can't keep up with this channel on the regular...and have a life, mighty hard. : ) Gonna be some Razel Dazel on the Boulevard to get to 50k by Dec 31! :)

[@brittbrittingham9871]

Nice to see your smiling Face ....LOL

[@jaysphilippines]

I'm pretty sure we are back and ready to go this time. 😆

[@graceandfavor5]

Nice place

[@jaysphilippines]

thank you Grace

[@barrydanish6008]

What does it cost you to fly round trip to the Phillipines? I live in Arkansas, not that far from where you live.

[@jaysphilippines]

Going Chicago through Istanbul. It's about 900 range currently. If you go west coast, I'm seeing around 1200 range. It can be had for 850 range if you try a bit.

[@michaelcausby5762]

I enjoy your videos. You need to give that little girl a sibling so when you and Nanay are gone she will have a brother or sister. Get busy bro so they aren't too far apart in age! Take care buddy!

[@jaysphilippines]

thank you Michael, i agree with you. Id like to give her 2 or 3 more.

[@michaelcausby5762]

@@jaysphilippines 😉👍

[@insanity6557]

She can study there till college the universities there are cheap but they teach well specially silliman also the bonds and connections she can build in studying there I think is better because universities like Silliman has multi nationality students, but staying for 50 years I don't recommend the number 1 issue of PH is it's economy it is unstable then second one is healthcare if you don't have money you can't get an average health treatment you rather get a poor service in a public hospital and even with that you still need to fork out money to buy medications

[@James-ll3jb]

First came in 1989, as a 37 year old freelance journalist. Hung out with a cadre of commie guerillas and covered the Gringo coup attempt. Got married and stayed 3 years. We returned for good in '15, about 10 years ago, built a house. When I arrived there were no foreigners but for two Saudi grad students, an old Swiss banker, a one-eyed perpetually drunk Dutchman, a Korean war vet gunrunner and me. Now there are over 5,000 foreigners looking for a second Disneyland lol. I doubt any of the wimps showing up around here now would have lasted very long here 30+ years ago, with no aircon, no McDonald's, protein snacks, etc. Dumaguete is a great place, way, way more crowded now than it used to be. I hope you get out of town once in awhile!

[@jaysphilippines]

As much complaining as I hear now, I couldn't imagine 30 years ago. Dam, you might be like finding a ancient artifact. Can't be many of you around Duma that has been there since 80s 90s. That's crazy cool. I chose Duma for all the surrounding places as much as Duma itself. Cebu city will be a somewhere we spend alot of time also. Glad to hear from you, hope you are well. I like your word choice in wimps, lol 😆

[@James-ll3jb]

@@jaysphilippines Cebu city is a drag, unless you're addicted to malls. Get out of "Duma" and yes, thede are a number of us oldtimers still around. But we're by and large out in the sticks, away from other foreigners and have been among Filipibos themselces by and large. Go check out Siquijor. And eastern Mindanao around Cantilan. It hasn't been overrun by the tourists, cement mixers and phonies yet. Or the hills above LaLibertad or around Mabinay. But bring your pistol.

[@scorpio7seven28]

Perfection is a relative term. One thing I can say is that you need to focus on family values because family is gold. You don’t see good family values in the US. Protect your kid from US perversion and moral corruption.

[@jaysphilippines]

Easier said than done. I see perversion everywhere. Lol music is crap all over. It's a challenge.

[@arat09channel52]

Marami filipina ang makakapangasawa ng foreign

[@jaysphilippines]

Yes, very many.

[@TryorDie2024]

A lot of KZbinrs give you a lot of BS and not useful information. I think there are several niches you can go after. We want to know real information and not about dating pretty 20 year olds are living by the beach because we all know living by the beach is not all that great because of the saltwater and typhoons

[@jaysphilippines]

Yes, I see many tubers, got to keep an eye on what's happening out there. Hope your well, stay safe. Jay
