Goodness this video hits close to home. I was just there in Bohol. I rented a motorbike and explored the whole island. I met a woman and then her family in Mayana. I took the family to Anda for the weekend, none of them had ever been in the ocean or stayed in a motel, or eaten at a restaurant. They all loved it. The family loved me right away, it was a very difficult goodbye for me. I have learned to be much more careful for my upcoming retirement there this fall. In one month I met only kind, caring, friendly and helpful people. After living in emotionally empty Calgary I cannot explain how much I loved the Philippines, especially the people.

[@warntheidiotmasses7114]

right but my buddy moved there with his Filipina wife whom he took with him to the states for 10 years, and they never stopped hounding him for money. It's not that easy moving there dude.

You're a good man, Chad Foster, not judging the social status of these kind hearted Filipinos, for appreciating their warmth, friendly demeanor and respectful attitude towards every human being. If you decide to find a good wife, Filipinas over any Asian nationalities stand above and beyond for their amazing qualities and close-knit family ties.

[@frankflex4465]

yes,key words close family ties mean you support them all.Every last one

[@ejtaylor73]

A house is measured in square feet, a HOME is measured in love inside it. I think one of the biggest fears that a Filipina can have is bringing a foreigner to their provincial home, thinking they'll look down on her for it. They shouldn't be, from the many videos I've seen, the foreigners don't care about the house they were raised in, it's more about the upbringing they had, the type of person they are. I really enjoy these type of videos more, the down to earth everyday life, rather than the big city, touristy, malls, and 5* hotel ones.

[@daniele-gante7987]

You are very right. It is nice to have amenities and probably some luxuries in life, but there is something more important than material things. God looks into people's hearts, their love for Him and his people, and ultimately, their actions - not what they have or don't.

It's good to see a none judgmental video. Some KZbin channels have been disrespectful about the people and their simple house's and lives in the Philippines which I consider my home as my wife and two kids are in the province while I'm back here in the UK. Keep up the good work Chad

[@ChadFosterExplores]

Thanks for that message I appreciate it!

[@XGen_23]

I agree. Just because old white guys have money doesn’t mean the Filipinas are easy and just want to get a green card.

[@leonardo.fibonacci]

I miss Bohol so much. Greatings from Germany. I will come back soon.

[@revelationmd]

I’m yet to see a video from the Philippines where the people aren’t happy and constantly smiling. I think you’re right, we have priorities way out of balance in the west. Anyway, hope things work out for you with your new romance!

[@DimitriTheBarbarian]

Dude you serious? This is province life poor as dirt people live close to nature but extremely poor. If they don’t keep positive attitude they gonna die. More ambitious folks go to the city to earn a few more pesos and hopefully build a career or something. Find me a video of Manila subway in rush hour. Then show me ONE smiling face

[@revelationmd]

@@DimitriTheBarbarian not sure what your point is, but ok.

[@DimitriTheBarbarian]

@@revelationmd well let me put it this way. Do you smile on your pictures? Most likely. Do you appear happy in your pictures? Yes. Do you always smile and feel happy in your routine day to day life?

[@revelationmd]

@@DimitriTheBarbarian I literally have a portrait pic as my profile. Am I smiling?

[@DimitriTheBarbarian]

@@revelationmd you might be smiling inside

Great vid, wonderful commentary at the end; your comment about, and I'm paraphrasing, no matter how little the people have available to them, they go out of their way to help out... I forget those things sometimes. I'm Filipino by ethnicity, born in Cebu in the late 60s, a kid in Guam in the 70s, & a teenager in California in the 80s. I am by any measure very Westernized, and it's only been recently that I've come to 'rediscover' my roots; I love seeing videos like this especially when folks like yourself put the Philippines in a positive light and obviously really love the country. Thank you!

[@ChadFosterExplores]

Thank you for that comment really appreciate it, I've learned so much from being here in the Philippines. Things I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.

[@oldmanemuinasia492]

[@tullioserafin4511]

very nice vid, I felt pretty much the same when I was in the Philippines and I’m looking forward going there again. Thanks for sharing, stay safe always and god bless!

[@randyfocht737]

I love your attitude! You are so POSITIVE, and that makes all the difference. Please explain more about your different goals. She seemed so plesant.

[@Traveller0518]

Welcome to the Philippines Chad, you have more places to explore in the Philippines. Enjoy your stay. You’ll discover more. Take care

[@ChadFosterExplores]

Thanks!!

[@odettes.abregana6534]

That was awesome. Im glad you like the Phils. Yes what is important in life is not the material things but the people with a big heart. Im sure you will appreciate more your blessings.

[@jerryjimenez7664]

Love the Philippines people they are the happiest people in the world they have so little but they live in a beautiful country

[@ChadFosterExplores]

I agree!

[@Fultonfalcons86]

My Filipina is from Palawan and these women from the provence are so wonderful loving caring sweet faithful and honest and their traditonal values are incredible they are not materialistic they love family and food above all

[@robertwheeler2400]

They are beautiful people! I was in Cebu a few years ago. met my wife there.

[@kennethmccullough1342]

I love the Philippines for all the reasons you mentioned. They don’t have a lot but what they have they are gladly willing to share. They are for the most part poor but always smiling. The Philippines will definitely leave an impression you can’t ever forget. It is a place that will keep you grounded and like you said will remind you of what’s important. I’ve been many times and actually am sad when it’s time to leave. Hopefully going again in August.

[@rrtds9378]

No wonder my parents were sad when we left Philippines in the early 1970's. I was young, we did not have money back then, it was a new world to me, it was an adventure, not mentioning the city or state, the first year, it was winter no one wanted to give us a ride to food shop at the store so the whole family walked in the cold, we got heckled by bunch inside a car passing by, the checkout counter employee must've had a bad day or just not happy to see us, then we had a next door neighbor welcomed us by saying "what you people doing in this country?", then coming from work I almost got mugged. Nothing bothered me in those years, it was all good, it was an opportunity like my father said. Now I understand why my parent felt that way leaving the Philippines.

[@themacker894]

You are in the right country. Nice video. Amazed to see how well you adapt to PH life.

[@rachelmahatha3469]

Hi there. Just glad how you find Philippines a beautiful place with friendly and hospitable people. Watching from Virginia 🇺🇸.

[@man4YAWEH454]

Down the road from you in NC. Ciao, ciao. 😄

[@realmercy]

Watching from Norfolk, Virginia. Merry Christmas

[@amylee6038]

I can't imagine my husband having filmed my family and me for a vlog like this. It seemed so uncomfortable and awkward. But I guess you made money and got attention. Mission accomplished.

[@brentjackson4151]

Nice video Chad. Me and my wife (Filipino) were just in Bohol 2 weeks ago, it’s a beautiful place and the people are wonderful. Did you get to see the Tarsiers? Enjoyed the video

[@ChadFosterExplores]

I didn't but next time for sure!
