In my opinion, guys that come over here, whether they be short time visitors or immigrants (those who have no plans to move back to their countries), and act like every day is a fiesta and a stroll through paradise are doing one of two things. 1st is pretending that the Philippines is a totally perfect, untouched paradise in order to have guys come here unprepared and fall, so that they have something to laugh about. 2nd, is that they ignore all the suffering, poverty and homelessness that are the majority of any given city, three blocks away from a mega size mall or two skips from that beautiful white sand beach. To me, these clicks over here are simply trying to have strength in numbers, even though they stay at each others' throats over females, drinking and even politics. I am not a passport bro, as I did not meet my wife here and we only moved here when she started seeing just how bad racism truly was in the US and she missed her home country. But I will say that the Philippines is far from perfect, but we dont have to worry about all the political, racial and religious hatred that has become the end result of a country founded on racism and oppression. We were considering going back to the US for a few years in 2026, but after this past November, understanding where the country is going back to... Naw, we will pass and stay our butts right here and have our peace.
