I met me wife of Christian Filipina. We had a wonderful experience. My wife will celebrate her 1 year of being in the US next month.

Smart man! Thank you for the comment

[@MrPiratebrain]

@@ItsMe_Philippines could you please do a video on how you shipped your belongings to the Philippines?

[@dawoodfaiz-mahdavi7297]

Cory, and Raquel, is nice to be happy, together, specially, in Philippines, is nice, to have, grow, chicken and duck, plus planting vegetable, garlic, onion, it save,s you lots of money,

[@dawoodfaiz-mahdavi7297]

Cory, in Philippines, life is harder, because of financial money wise,

[@kenpachizaraki1947]

Congratulations.

[@Jam7pi]

I've seen a handful of your videos and in each one she is constantly touching you and giving you "looks." Quite easy to see that your wife adores you. Likewise, I know that a woman doesn't act that way unless a guy is truly good to her!!! Congrats to both of you for finding each other and for being happy. Live long and prosper!!!!🖖

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you for this comment and I completely agree

[@JToddJeep]

Filipinas are like that. Emy and I have been married almost four years now and the bond has only gotten stronger between us. The way that love is supposed to be really.

[@MakaiIELTS]

You might be surprised when you come here and meet a decent filipina because most of them are sooooo touchy.

[@glstka5710]

That is why a lot of guys like me have found happiness in the Philippines.

[@whocarescrapsa]

It is the first thing I noticed about Corey's videos. I have sent the links to a few western women who are complaining that they can't find good men. I explain that it is a lot easier for a man to fulfil his duties as a provider and protector when he is respected. Some responses have been predictable. Eye rolling, shaming and the cliche "I won't change for anyone!". Others have been contradictory like "I don't need a man!". WTF! Make up your mind! It would seem they are regurgitating what they have been programmed to say without being aware that they are contradicting themselves. The programming runs so deep that it is time we acknowledge there might not be a cure for this mind virus.

[@lrpsychology]

Bro, the way she looks at you and makes you the center of her universe. She really loves you. God bless you both.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

She treats me like a king

[@choosegreatness247]

I love how she puts her hands on him to acknowledge him and the love they share

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

She’s very affectionate

I met my philippina wife back in 1984 and we only knew each other for 2 months and we got married and now have 3 girls and have been married for 39 years.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Nice!

[@rpphoenix8253]

Man, congrats. What a great story. What I paid attention the most it was NOT the story itself but her body language, how often she leaned towards you, how she acted towards you thru out your story. Where her hands were, what directions was she looking at and her facial expressions. It's very hard to fake that on a regular basis. I have seen a few of your videos and her actions are similar and congruent on all videos. Cory no doubt this woman really loves you and is happy by your side. God bless you both.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you

[@floridaman6138]

Yeah, the physical touch all the time. Very cool. He chose well. So did she.

[@elephantinrm]

Chinese are the best. I love when you eat and they serve you as you eat. This really is a culture difference. American women don’t act this way. Not a complaint, just an observation. Flip side, if you’re not social, it can seem a bit much.

Great stuff, I’m looking to do the same thing as you. I’m a 36 year old disabled veteran 100% permanent and total. So I get $3600 a month tax free. And living in the Philippines looks amazing. I’d love to meet a beautiful Philippines woman and build a home like you did. I’m living vicariously through you at the moment while I take care of my very sick parents (lung cancer) mom, (Parkinson’s) dad. But what you’re doing is exactly what I want. One day I’ll be heading that way. Thanks for the videos man, it’s keeping me sane and you are showing me a path to happiness. Peace and happiness to you and your family.

What a cool video. It was nice to hear the backstory and I'm very impressed with both of you taking the long road and finding happiness at the end of it. Yours is the good story of finding a good life partner. Be happy and safe you tow.

[@anyt1me178]

Great vid because it's informative and funny....no one wants to listen to a boring story of how you met and nothing went wrong. You are both are great together and have chemistry in front of the camera. Cory, I enjoy listening to you as you are a good storyteller and funny and Rachel has a great sense of humour also....keep up the great vids. Thank you to both of you. 🙏

[@utubewillyman]

I like that Corey gets choked up when talking about meaningful moments in his life. Makes me get choked up too. All the best to both of you.

[@gwapod9885]

I met a wonderful Filipino lady about 5 years ago. She had been separated for 10 years. Little did I know that divorce is illegal in the Philippines and you have to go through an annulment process. After 4 years of trying to get annulled, I had to break off the relationship. I could not move to the Philippines and there was no way to get her to the US without a K1. One of the saddest days of my life. I had been to the Philippines 4 times and we talked everyday. I miss my time in the Philippines. Love the country and the people. I miss her happy and cheerful personality. Great memories to carry the rest of my life.

[@JenGioPhilippineJourney]

I been told it costs 4,000.00 for them to get divorced is that true

[@HasteAdventures]

Get a single girl that is not married bro. There are tons of them traditional girls there. I can recommed for you some nice ones if you want.

[@etywrtyjfgj]

@@JenGioPhilippineJourney At the end of the day it costs a ton of money. If someone doesn't have deep pockets, divorce is illegal in the Philipinnes

Great story. You two seem really happy, and believe me, I can totally relate to wanting to turn down the gain by living a less stressful life. And, doing that with the right partner makes every single sacrifice worth it. I wish you both happiness.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you, appreciate the positive thoughts

[@tinmanrobby]

This channel is amazing. For a decade I've watched dozens, I mean DOZENS (more so hundreds) of travel videos. Thailand, Philippines, most Asian Countries. For some reason, that's what interested me. Started with Delos videos (sailing videos). Decided I'm not cut out for sailing. Also a WWII buff, so when I started hearing of South Pacific Islands, the Philippines, I'd already learned of many places. So many Philippine KZbin channels, I must be subscribed to at least 20. Found this one about a Month ago. The diet Pepsi video shook me up. It showed me a lot. I've been talking to Thai's and Filipina's for several years. Even learned to speak some Thai. And was attracted to the Philippine culture. Same reason, Western culture changed not inline with my moral and ethics, and America has fallen, no longer the Country I grew up in and lived in in the last 50 years. I don't quite fit here anymore. Painful to realize that. It kinda hurts deep down honestly. I just want different. I don't know... That Jollibee video... That actually shook me up quite a bit. Recently, at a small farm town in Montana, at work, we had a new guy walk in the door. AJ, he just moved over from the Philippines. (???? Things started adding up and coming together) Goals moved more in the last Month, than the last decade. The material things are being sold off now. I don't have a great paying job, but a cheap apartment, old pickup, and no bills, the savings are now adding up. More like a 5 year plan, unless God steps in and miracle happens. Anyways, yeah, hundreds and hundreds of contacts. Most on sites, nearly 99% of them are scammers. Lucky to find 3 out of a hundred who don't beg for money. Seriously. But I don't need a female partner, I could be just fine being alone if that's the case. So this between Corey and Racheal, is a fairy tale come true, a miracle. Simply, COREY and RAQUEL, this is one in a million odds. This is one in 10 million. This is a fairy tale ending. And this is hope. I love your videos. This is true life. This is real. Peace. Serenity. Happiness. Healthy....

[@conraddevera]

yes pls, weed out the bad ones. there are good ones out there, just be patient. it's worth the wait and not worth the headache. good luck to you sir, bring lots of patience, enjoy, be nice, and dont forget common sense :)

Thanks Cory. Really enjoyed your video on how you both met and very good information and advice. I’ll check out the site you recommended. Been on another site but it’s not that great. I’m 56 in May but most people think I’m in my early 40’s and I’m very active. It’s impossible to find someone my age that’s, let’s say, youthful like I am so looking for a younger woman. Age difference is not accepted in Canada so it’s been hard to meet a significant other here. You definitely made the right choices and have a beautiful wife and life there. Enjoy!!! 😃👍🏻

Corey this is Carl and I’m so inspired by your story and life with Raquel. My story was far more complicated and my Meztisa in California and she changed my life and spent twenty two years training me to speak Tagalog but I’m a slow learner. All the trials and tribulations that you went through just to stand before Raquel’s father to respectfully as for his permission to marry and support his daughter was the kind of thing a good man does. I’ve watched all your “Vlogs” about securing property and building parts to your home, gym and pool. Raquel’s family truly love and respect what you have accomplished and the love and care you display towards Raquel. I’m just blown away on how you adjusted to eating (Patis), longganisa, Sinigang na Hipon and Milk Fish. I love Chicken Adobo, Lumpia and Nilaga but I’m not to comfortable with Sea Foods. Oh yes I love Jafran Banana Sauce better than Catsup!

Thanks for sharing. I chatted online with mine for a year before my 1st visit. I was pretty sure I wanted to make her my Wife even before that 1st visit. I stayed for 2 weeks the 1st time. I knew, we both knew, but I was overly cautious. I decided to wait and visit again the next year. As soon as I returned back to the states after the 2nd trip I got the ball rolling. About a year later I made a quick trip over just to get her. She had never flown, and I didn't want her to make the trip alone. I wasn't a member of any dating sites and wasn't even looking for a relationship when we met. It's a long story, but it was the best thing I ever did. I also promised to send her home every year, and she has except during covid. She stays for 2 months, and when I went last, I joined her a month later, and we came back together, which is what we'll probably do again this December.

I met so many amazing people, i was so happy to get away from America, i did miss the food, and the way our infrastructure was but, it to me felt safe and even though i was annoyed at the process involving anything to do with paperwork, and 10,000 copies of everything, I still miss it, and left back to the states 2 yrs ago, from the Midwest like you.

Good point! House update later this week and I’ll bring up the solar also.

[@theupsidetv2007]

Thank you for sharing your story. Great couple. Wishing you two the best in life.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you 🙏

My girlfriend literally just messaged me on facebook one day during the begining of the pandemic. Alnost 2 years talking and video chatting online every single day before I could finally go to Ph and be with her. Our love is as strong as yours. I see us in you two. It purs the biggest smile on my face. I look up to you now because what you have now is my biggest goal. I don't care for the US anymore and I do not care to be rich. My Jennifer and her country have taught me what is truly important in life. I feel more alive than I ever did before.❤

Great to hear my friend

[@peternielsen5998]

Hello Cory, I've just subscribed. I loved your stories of how you met and how you ask your wife's father permission to marry. Very funny. I wish you both all the best and I'll keep a look out for your next video. Cheers mate.

Cory I don`t know how you met but both of you seem like real nice people. Cory your wife is definitely a keeper, I think you did your homework and really hit a home run. Your wife and you are very fortunate to have found each other. Have a great life guys.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you

[@MakaiIELTS]

family members discussing together is quite common in the Philippines. In my family's case, my 3 kids and I together with my husband talk things out during dinner time whenever we have plans. We ask each other's opinions. I know some filipino family who's doing the same thing.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Very true

[@moelamin8016]

I like the video. Even though I am new to this channel I watched some of it and it is very interesting. Nice and detailed explanatory story. Glad that you are happy with your wife. It is ok to meet people online as long as you are careful. Thanks for sharing.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you, appreciate the positive comment

[@jeffharris4593]

What a beautiful wife...and so kind. I enjoy watching you two interact. It's not something you see in the states anymore. You made all the right choices my man.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thanks so much

[@come.on.lets.go.]

When she starts laughing I smile like an idiot, you two are a lucky couple!

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

We are very happy

[@JasonC89]

I just recently came across your channel, and loving it! You are both inspiring, as my wife (Filipina) and I want to move to the Philippines full time, we’re on a 10 or so year plan. We are happy to finally able to return for a visit to the Philippines this September, after two long years of Covid making near impossible! For Cory; are you originally from Maine?! I’m born and raised!

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you and yes, Maine, the way life should be

[@JasonC89]

Ayuh. Should be the slogan of the Philippines though, from my experience.

[@fogrunr5075]

Thanks for telling your story! I had some good laughs and you two are very enjoyable together 😆😆😆

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you

[@JimVincitore]

Great video! Very cool! LOVE IT! FUN TO WATCH!

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you!

[@v1705]

Soulmates are what comes into mind❤ you two always put a smile on my face. Can not wait to go live in pH myself

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

It’s a very welcoming country my friend

[@Toxic-ni7jl]

I am talking to a Filipina I met through fb messenger, it hasn’t been long but we have been video chatting every day. Such a big difference from western women, she treats me very caring and I want to visit the Philippines for the first time in a few months to meet her. If it works out we will marry, I’ll bring her to USA then start building a house in the Philippines like you over a year or two then move there. Thanks love your videos

[@robertawagner8190]

What do you mean by saying Western women are so different? I'm an American woman married to a Filipino man for 35 years. We have 3 grown children, and we do everything together. We are retired now and enjoy our grandchildren and traveling. All I can say is be careful because I know Filipinas that were communicating with several foreigners at one time, once they got to the US, they divorced the guys. Talking online is much different than being together in person.

[@paulk8444]

I am so Happy for you as I watched some of your other videos and have been plugging for you and was thrilled to see this one as it sounds like a Long Journey but Your Love for each other is yet another inspiring story a I am from NW Indiana and after 7 years of one of my buddies asking me I am going with him and his Pilipino wife of 15 years to Cebu City in November and researching allot (an brushing up Karaoke skills haha) and hope to rent a scooter and sightsee (ride a motorcycle here in summer for fun) So while my buddies wife who was hesitant of a single man hanging around her husband I have earned her respect and she offered to fix me up but holding off on that but her birthday is during the stay so I'll see. I did have a Pilipino girlfriend in college so I have always thought they are some of the Most Gorgeous and Sweet Ladies ever. And never want to mess with my buddies wife a she is Super Loyal and is just such an advocate as they are all indirectly ambassadors for the country and only scammers give a bad name. Just got to go with open mind and if your looking for the Right things and Right kind of person then chances are better. You have a Gem.

[@wernerstogmann531]

I like how you speak how you do! There is something amazing of you both! Special bonding! Special i love that

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

Thank you!

[@Seanr5588]

I enjoyed listening to your story. Even though I don't know you personally, you and Raquel seem like great people. How Raquel shows her affection for you; my Filipina wife does the same to me, even after 21 years of marriage.

[@ItsMe_Philippines]

That’s great to hear and thank you for the compliment
