[@belenanderson3921]

I loved your ideas to share Life Story ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Real, Raw, Honest and Intimate. Thank you for having Dennis in your vlogs. He is awesome and interesting guy. God Bless both of you ❤️

[@aidendates5446]

He's really too honest living in reality,,he has life ... Love it

[@johnboy6594]

I have to be honest, this is so interesting. I have to thank both men for such a great job. Im almost 62 so i could identify with alot of whats being said. Blessings to both of you. Namaste.

[@markmeenaghan934]

What was the " specific relationship" he alluded to,but never elaborated on.??

[@audtom52]

Suggestion: Could this be a weekly series with Dennis? Hes a great story teller

[@MathewFletcher]

Still looking around for Dennis' channel on KZbin - does anyone know?

[@mrockjocky]

Cheers you two. I would love to meet you guys someday after I get back home to the Philippines.

[@lovelynsantos928]

Mark and friends, you all want me to go back home. I grew up in Luzon and when I went back several years ago, I got a chance to visit childhood friends living in their ancestral home in Negros Oriental (where friends have a farm/hacienda) near thre shore and a day in Dumaguete. If/when I go back to the Philippines, I would like to go back there. If I were to stay there, I prefer to live in Negros Oriental, Iloilo, or Guimaras. I find Negros Oriental to be very peaceful and welcoming. I hope to reconnect with friends there but having trouble even finding them on social media.

Another very interesting conversation. Heading to part 4.

Filipino men are more romantic and gentleman but Americans knows how to appreciate women they know how to listen and make their woman as part of decision. Filipino men still need to work on it.

Dennis, you're my Spirit Animal, so wise and so generous ! Thanks Paul for making this video happen in my multiverse. Possible a follow-up video with Dennis someday?

[@mdasget-a-way376]

Hi Mark, excellent videos and interviews so far. I just wanted to make a quick comment on your draft information. It is true that the draft was by birthdate. However your believe that everyone with the same birthdate was drafted together isn't entirely correct. Most of the draftees were selected within the first 200-225 birthdays. My twin brother and I were drafted in the last draft in 1971. Our basic training company was made up from all the eligible 18 year olds and criminals out of the Arizona jails. I grew up in Southern California, specifically in Oxnard. All of our friends were drafted along with my brother and I.

[@memaatis3919]

Judging from what I heard.,you're talking from the heart. Goodluck to you

[@naldsarmas8584]

Hope you get more folks to watch your videos. I find them very engaging and at times funny. Thanks.

[@MysticRose99]

Agree with Dennis with regards to John Perkins, the elites that slaving people and the illusion of this all! :D Multiverse, parallel realities, extraterrestrial beings, things above our limited perception, Yogi in the Himalaya's that doesn't eat and is around 130 years old up to 1000 years old, spirituality, humanity, and connectedness with each other through love. I am happy that my motherland Philippines has brought him love, motherly caring that he didn't experience anywhere even in India. That motherly love and care is really natural to Filipinos. I did travel to India for month and India gave me that deep spiritual connection to God and Philippines gave me love and spirituality comes naturally.

[@danieldelacruz645]

Hope u guys d0nt think that filipinas marry or have a relationship with old guys because of money or stability. Generally, we are hopeless romantics and we dont really mind age gap here. I have friends, all filipinos who have 10 or more years difference wth their partners. I had an ex, filipino guy too who was 15 yrs older than me. He was married with 2 kids, his wife cheated on him. Despite his baggage, still accepted him bcos 1st of all, i really love him, i was attracted to him. Secondly, i felt sorry for him. I was always thinking who would take care of him when he grows older. Just treat us good and we will treat you better. Be straightforward also with your expectations in the relationship.

[@litomercado2069]

@x if you dont have money to spend for the rest of your life in ph..dont ever come in my country..the Philippines is a developing country and is not a welfare country who would take care of old dog retirees who's main goal is to find an opposite partner young enoungh to be his daughter or grand daughter. Would you expect this young girls to love you and take good care of you.if you happen to find a partner then reciprocate it with material things that would make her happy and she'll be yours.Soo money is a thing and you should have enough or plenty of it..for a retirees who want happiness in new found places have lots of money money can buy everything.

[@danieldelacruz645]

@x money is important but there are more important things in life such as good health..peaceful relationship with neighbors etc...i know some rich people but they dont have peace of mind..reason? They are never contented and they look themselves to others. .in ny case..i just stopped the " should and must" if it is beyond your control..let it go..life is way happier when u dobt stress urself on things you cannot control....just like u..whatever u think abt filipina women..it is your opinion..i understand you...maybe you received a wrong vaccine when youre a baby or you hit your head...anyways..peace yow..

[@danieldelacruz645]

@James skorpio you are correct...some people still have jobs..some lost it..it happened in the US and its the same thing all over the world..this virus wont be gone..we will just have to live with it...

[@BestdaughtereverEver]

Let’s look at this in reality. Having wealth or access to it always has an advantage to any relationship. It pays your bills, Doctor , meds and travels and food, comfort. Would a young sexy girl really would be attracted to an old man with no money and couldn’t provide all the above? The answer - no. The happiness part in life only comes in when you’re physically comfortable . Be truthful and it’s not necessary to lie .

[@danieldelacruz645]

@@BestdaughtereverEver you are correct...but one cannot generAlize always. There are some women who are gold diggers but there are also some who are gold. My friend, she is in her 50s now,married her husband who's 15+ years older than her. The guy isnt very rich..sometimes ...one should also be opened to the realities in life. While there are some who are just after the money..there are also some who are just in love and perhaps there could be many reas0ns. 1. The guy is persistent to court her. 2. The guy showed his true intentions to the woman etc... age gap relatio ships can be successful

[@mconcerned1614]

Mwaaah I love this video, so informative and interesting, I will brave through all the ads just to watch the part 4. Thank you, this got me crazy to curiously check out this place after so very many years. I grew up and spent my very younger years there when there was no electricity yet, but a kerosene lamp to light up the dining table and to hurry up on my homework before the lamp loses its kerosene. And we all had to be home by sun down in time for the Angelus prayer and dinner afterwards. I might leave California and retire there too i guess. Hmmm come to think of it.

It's a crime if you sleep with a married woman. But if she had written agreement with ex or she has evidence that her ex had another woman, she's free..

[@livehealthyfinishstrong]

Dennis mentioned he was a Seventh-day Adventist as a child and young man. I was raised in that religion myself. I left it in my early 20’s. However, much of the apocalyptic theology and fear of people of “the world” (any not part of the SDAs) haunted me for years later. At age 64 I am over all that. I’d be interested to hear Dennis take on all that crap.

You video are very engaging, Denis is right that expats that bitch so much while staying in the Philippines should shut the fuck up or leave, I’m a pilipino leaving in Baltimore for more than twenty years , it’s has its negative but it’s has also some great people, high crime but I don’t expose myself to that situations , you leave your life the best you can anywhere you are , it’s what’s inside your heart and your intentions that bring you a full filing life. I enjoy listening to Denis and you Mark I say doing a fine job, I envy you guys having a well deserved retirement in my beautiful country 🤪🤣, I’m only 50 years but soon I’m going back to enjoy it, I’m from Cagayan de Oro city originally.

It is ironic, 3rd world poor countries people are dreaming to immigrant to the West while you guys are leaving to 3rd world poor countries! I understand Each has his own reasons. I have spent great number of years in the west but at the end, I went back to my country at young age. Getting old in the West is tough and you will be alone. Unlike in my native country. Everybody will be around you and take care of you. Money is Not every thing.

[@memeoc7747]

Great story... lots of experiences. You mentioned Dipolog the other island of dymaguete. Dumaguete is my grand parents hometown somewhere Tanjay. I've there twice only. My last visit is 2019 we gad a trip to sequehor then back in dipolog. I'm living in Malaysia.. but everytime we visit Phils. I can feel the difference between malaysia and Phils. Filipino peoples have much fun while here in malaysia the peoples is a bit serious.. I'm a person that love's funny movie... But I feel ok living here it's my second home... great video... stay safe and God bless..

[@jimcrain2647]

USA $80 to $115 water bill in South West FL. And a $10k assessment to run a pipe to county septic cause they claim that's better than there chemicals and constant spills. And I have paid 3k the last 3 years while having to use inspect my septic tank. At another $450 every three years plus water bill which is about $17 less than normal water and sewer bill. Everything here is very expensive. Especially property taxes and insurance on a average nice 3 bed two bathhone average value $350k is around $6500 per year. So if yr home owners insurance plus sometimes fluid and wind extra policy required could go up $275/ month meaning yr house payment goes up that much. And if yr mortgage was financed on a variable rate with these interest rates going up almost double then that's thousands more you will have to pay on yr house payment. And if you stop paying it only takes them about 6 months or less then the bank will take yr house including the equity if any unless they can sell it quickly pay off the bank and keep any equity. A speeding ticket is $280.00 and cops have no problem giving a single female driver a couple. Then full coverage auto insurance averages. Over $125/month $400/ month for. teenagers.

adultery is not a crime in the Philippines, but will lead to a crime of passion. It is a ground for annulment. I think annulment is better than divorce. Annulment erases everything like the marriage never even happen. It is like resetting the couple's life, anew beginning.

[@pechaybaguio]

A crime in other countries. But, in the Philippines, it is a ground for annulment.
