[@slop100]

Just keep on doing your thing. I for one couldnt care less about all the drama there. Most of the videos about that are just to gain views. How is the construction going next door. It will be interesting to see how that is coming along. Take care

[@buildingthephilippines]

I need to get over there and do a video. It's all about the views and not about ethics. I will choose ethics every time.

[@gunz350]

I watch your channel because I can relate to what your channel is about. I am married to a Filipina from Bacolod. We are planning to retire in the Philippines in a few years, and I find your channel extremely helpful in giving us ideas on how to proceed with that process. The simple life is all we are looking for. I can't wait to leave the rat race of the US to do nothing but relax in the Philippines. Best of luck to you guys.

[@buildingthephilippines]

That's exactly our approach to retirement. Wish you guys well and much success following your retirement dreams.

[@buildingthephilippines]

We agree too

[@johnulriksson2505]

Talk is silver..keep quiet is gold...keep up the Great videos..and IF I can ask..I miss Prince..😃

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, need to show Prince soon. He's still growing. Thanks for commenting.

[@BillDhami]

I wish I knew what you are talking about? What happen? what did I miss? I love you guys, keep up the GOOD WORK on the videos.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Your one of the lucky ones to not hear, see some unfortunate things displayed on you tube. Thanks for watching our videos.

[@gvantassel]

Great video...and so true about spreading drama. My Mother always said "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything then". You both look great...glad to see you again on KZbin.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Gloria, appreciate the comment.

[@ChristopherKnN]

I laugh when people ask why I'm so quiet.

[@buildingthephilippines]

@ChristopherKnN listening is better than talking for sure.

[@jmfarrell5]

Always positive channel… that’s why I watched your building and Philippines life journal. Thanks for the fun and real life issues that are important.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you, we try to keep pushing forward, being positive yet informing viewers of possible pitfalls.

[@SniperLadyYT]

I just done watching yah guys love it❤ keep it up 👍

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you, appreciate the comment.

[@aggierowe9574]

Love the house, love the shirts! I’m in North Carolina, but Long Island’s north shore was home. I was so fascinated by your beautiful home thinking it was straight out of the Hamptons! If we choose the PH to retire your home is definitely our style!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for commenting. Wilma and I designed our own home. It's just the way we wanted it.

[@jsully4064]

Understand about not watching videos from the Philippines. Nice shirts you two! Am another who is not interested in the drama videos, they are not getting my views. Good to see you both, Wilma and Greg....Jim

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you, appreciate the comment.

[@SniperLadyYT]

Life it’s all about being good to each other so don’t worry about those negative people. ❤

[@buildingthephilippines]

100% correct, well said.

[@lmcc0072]

For some KZbinrs it’s all about the views and subscriptions. That’s how some of them survive. Controversy sometimes gets views. Sex usually gets views. Greg if you did a video of you in a sexy bikini you might get 200k views too 😂. As my girlfriend and I are planning to build a house in CDO, we watch mostly home building channels. She just did a major add-on to her farmhouse in Mindanao where her dad lives. It looks good in the pictures. She’s going there next week to check it out and then both of us are going in June. At some point we’re going to install solar there. I’m hoping that when we build our house in a few years we’ll have most of the wrinkles ironed out before we start. We also like the channels that go to different places in the Philippines and elsewhere.

[@buildingthephilippines]

I ordered a speedo for me today, gotta get the views up. Unfortunately others get views by talking about other people, sad really.

[@evelyndennis9199]

You absolutely right. I miss your show . ❤❤😊😊

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you.

[@rorybellamy2533]

quality content, Thank you Greg n Wilma

[@buildingthephilippines]

Appreciate it Rory.

[@hashy666]

Don't entertain the negative people, keep moving forward!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Well said.

[@traveltime2375]

I think you taking the highroad is the correct way to handle it! People have to much time on their hands so they gossip, too much!

[@buildingthephilippines]

I agree, misery likes company, piling on gets views. Sad really.

[@montehanes8006]

Like the shirts, I'm try to stay in my own place as well

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks, appreciate the comment.

[@StanHasselback]

Good topic Wilma and Greg. When you do your video on home burglaries please mention if homeowners insurance is available in the Philippines.

[@buildingthephilippines]

OK will do, thanks for the comment.

[@azcactusflower1]

I'm here for sanity 😃

[@buildingthephilippines]

That's good to know.

[@haroldchannel8883]

Congratulations 🎉of making your shirts 🎽 ah don't mine to much of those negative people you're absolutely right on most part they just want to make more views

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you, gossip is a national pass time here.

[@bobbyb2491]

What Choo Talkin About Willis !?!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Great line and great show. Different strokes.

[@AuralioCabal-nl8gi]

Gregg, your Dad was a smart man, and right , and you can't judge a book by its cover,t oo many fakes out there . TSometimes there's also too much drama going around,and sometimes people make other peoples business THEIR business.🤔

[@buildingthephilippines]

So very true. People should not get involved in other peoples business, unless asked to. Misery loves company.

[@leathernecktonyasianadvent2512]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you

[@ChristopherKnN]

Wilma can purchase firearms. That can boost security. And, you get more solar energy than you currently use... electric fence.

[@buildingthephilippines]

We are looking forward to that video. Thanks for commenting.

[@MRS.RM1]

Keep the positivity going Wilma and Greg!! Life is short snd just enjoy every minute of it.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Very true, we are optimistic about our future. Stay above the fray.

[@RobertsIslandLivingAdventures]

Sounds like you are missing a lot of potential screen time. Do you want me to help you set up cameras in all your rooms, with a switching console? 😁

[@buildingthephilippines]

That might get me banned from KZbin. Lol.

[@GilligansTravels]

it is what it is misery loves company and people are strangers are when your a stranger they say

[@buildingthephilippines]

So true, let's put down others so I feel better about my life. So sad.

[@GilligansTravels]

@@buildingthephilippines people that live in glass houses should not throw stones eh

[@GilligansTravels]

Your channel sizzles @@buildingthephilippines

[@ronaldtaylor4530]

Your house build is done. Viewers lose interest..Lets go forward team...

[@buildingthephilippines]

Sounds good Ronald, take care.

[@bjlfbs8506]

I don't think you had any need to address it.

[@buildingthephilippines]

I wanted to go on the record that piling on is wrong in my opinion. It's unprofessional and a low form of entertainment.

[@TheBigBananaaa]

🙀

[@buildingthephilippines]

Hello

[@joemelo1372]

Love your channel love the content keep it up . Thinking about moving there love all the information you give. How is Prince doing

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Joe, we will continue enjoying our retirement. Prince is doing great.

[@jerrymarshall2728]

I don’t follow those Vloggers who want to put dirty laundry in the wind, especially for views. I also don’t follow those who strut their bikinis 😡 There are only 3 channels in Negros that I follow, yours, the guy we had coffee with, and a mutual friend of yours and the other guy. I consider you 3 to be honest, responsible people, and friends. 👍 I’ll sent you a PM

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Jerry appreciate the comment. Ambitious people looking for views that equates to money.

[@RobertsIslandLivingAdventures]

Oh, I know why you were in Cebu.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Lol, yes you do.

[@leathernecktonyasianadvent2512]

Yep same like my channel no extreme thumbnail, click bait or edited videos but also why just a few hundred subs in the Last 4yrs. Ya we don't watch or comment on Expat drama here especially utuber ones like the big circle of them that's all the channel is about drama

[@buildingthephilippines]

It comes down to if you tube is a job (needed source of revenue) or a hobby.

[@leathernecktonyasianadvent2512]

@buildingthephilippines exactly mine a hobby just to save experience while showing some of the areas of the Philippines. I noticed alot here don't have any financial means besides utube or subliment with ss why alot of channels start getting lost into the drama chasing the views &$. Keep up the good video I lived here 7yrs but still watch a few good channels like yours always learning.

[@buildingthephilippines]

@leathernecktonyasianadvent2512 thanks for commenting

[@ocmcpherson7761]

I have also stopped watching all the videos. I just don't care just fricken don't care. We would love to meet you both we live nearby. Me andy girlfriend

[@buildingthephilippines]

We will be at the Sierra resort in Dauin, this Wednesday at 12 noon.

[@PinayMixedvlog]

💯 percent agree😁. Great video❤❤❤.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you

[@charlescox2840]

Hi guys! Ann has turned the corner and is about normal. She is still very limited but much better! I have been very busy with her and my honey do!

[@buildingthephilippines]

So glad to hear great news Charles.

[@americaninparadise3971]

You guys are so matured. God bless you

[@buildingthephilippines]

Appreciate the comment, thank you.

[@davidstout6599]

Less said soon mended .

[@buildingthephilippines]

Agreed, and that's what we would like to see.

[@moontides7220]

I am sure those 6 or 7 youtuber doesn’t represent the mayority of foreigners in Dumaguete. Same way those few new bikinis filipinas youtubers. Finally someone exposing those desperate losers willing to sell anything or anybody for some coin and views.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Some like to use other people's business as a monetary gain for themselves.

[@MrThunderdome64]

Thanks for keeping it real. I only watch home construction in the Philippines as me and my wife are planning to build in about 2 years. Sad that there are so many negative videos circulating around on KZbin. We are a private couple and really stay away from drama. When we start to build our home i want to produce constructive educational videos that people can use. You are correct in staying away from the nastiness that is surfacing. Keep the great content coming. Looking forward to the new builder and security videos.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for commenting appreciate it. Good luck with your building project.

[@CritterHunter]

I just film 🐟 and enjoy life

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, that's the best approach.

[@CritterHunter]

@@buildingthephilippines I should use half naked fish in the thumbnails. More clicks?

[@buildingthephilippines]

@CritterHunter lol, I think that would work. Maybe a Mermaid found in Dauin.

[@CritterHunter]

@@buildingthephilippines I'm cashing in if I find a pretty mermaid

[@davefrye2263]

Spot on Greg & Wilma, we also stopped watching some of those channels. The power of positivity goes a long way. Life's too short not to be happy in retirement and not have to deal with the drama others choose to create. We love watching your videos!!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for commenting and watching our videos.

[@whatsnext-007]

While we don't always agree, you and Wilma are spot on in this video. I found during my visit a few weeks ago, that While visiting with some KZbinrs, some tried to pull me into the Duma drama. It wanted none of it. I completely agree, if you have nothing nice to say ...say nothing. I hope we can meet up when I return this fall. I know exactly the young lady you speak of .. and her bikini vids. I have always enjoyed watching your home build. I especially want to thank you for your charitable contributions to your community . Take care.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for commenting appreciate it. People must have such boring/miserable lives as many keep trying to keep it going. Sad really. Look us up once back in the area.

[@JamesParis]

Love your channel. There are too many youtubers in PH focused on single retired foreigners dating a Filipina. Im not their demographic, and really prefer channels like yours.

[@buildingthephilippines]

We are 10%ers. It's a good feeling right. It is to us.

[@kevinstcyr7592]

When you know both parties it's best to stay neutral. It is said " it's an A & B conversation so I will "C" myself out. I agree 💯% with your decision. Everyone has an opinion but you don't have to make it public!

[@buildingthephilippines]

100 percent agree. It's the folks who feel the want to make public their opinion that's wrong in my book. Go make a video about your own life, not about putting down or gossiping about someone else's.

[@BobP-yf6qe]

Please keep up doing what you do, I have gotten very useful information from you about what all we will need to do and watch out for when we try to get moved there. Enjoy watching both of you, keep up the good work!! Actions speak louder than words!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Bob, appreciate the nice comment. We will keep moving forward.

[@johnthomas5806]

glad to see you back online...and I like your attitude towards not getting involved with the problems of others. Basically the reason I do not strive to meet other foreign nationals/ex-pats..live and let live, take care of your own, provide for those that mean the most to you, as you say, in the second half of your life and wanting to leave your family in a fine state of comfort. These are my points of life as I live it for myself and the wife. I have watched your home build (great looking home) and parts of it I think of doing myself (build the outer walls first then the house)...thanks for all advice you give as a home owned...just heard of your solar project and now you mention your solar guy and others..ideas to find new business's and going through the process of building in the Philippines.......

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for the comment and good luck with your building project.

[@marianeil6630]

Whining and complaining resulting to negative thoughts, avoid this very contagious!!! Be selective, thanks again doe going back to your channel.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you

[@dwaynedeason5638]

Cool t shirts! Hello from South Texas-

[@buildingthephilippines]

They were fun to design. Thanks for watching.

[@JMgmkh]

Looking forward to your business and new businesses interviews.

[@buildingthephilippines]

OK, great to hear. Thanks for commenting.

[@Ray_Warren]

The high road is the best route.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Always

[@KrayPurn]

My partner (Filipina) and I are seriously considering not retiring in the Philippines. It seems as though the Philippines is becoming a "dump your worst type of foreigner" on our shore's kind of country nowadays. I have been traveling to the Philippines since 2008 and have also actually lived in both Pampanga and Cebu several years ago. And so, to me the Philippines is not nearly what it used to be, primarily because of the poorly behaved Expats nowadays. Retirement in the Philippines would be nearly the same as retiring in America amongst the same types of negative Americans that I'm trying to get away from. We may purchase a Condo in BGC just to have a footprint, or home base if you will. But we are looking to other countries to spend roughly 60% to 70% of the time in. And just Airbnb the Condo in BGC during the months we are not there. We have enjoyed watching your videos. Wish you and Wilma all the best.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for the comment. Wilma and I have met some of the nicest couples. As you are right, their are less than desirable expats here. We simply avoid them. At the same time, we have found many couples to be great people. Our circle of friends has been wonderful.

[@MR.G-N2IT]

I know you can't name what island she's on 🤔 But can you tell me her channel ?? 🤣 Love your channel Class act Maybe toss in some food reviews , It's always nice to discover new eateries 😋

[@buildingthephilippines]

Don't want to call out anyone, just realize it's easy to fake it on you tube. When the door closes.

[@MR.G-N2IT]

Hey Gregg , forgive me and my sarcasm But if you ever find a great place to eat Please announce it !!! Popello's Italian restaurant in Henry's my latest new favorite eatery

[@buildingthephilippines]

@GaryMichael-N2IT our go to restaurant is Atantis resort in Dauin.

[@MR.G-N2IT]

Thanks we'll go check it out 😊👍🏽
