Volunteerism is very much alive in the Philippines. Let's remember the Bayanihan Spirit way back in history. Maybe there is no such thing as a website where you can go and volunteer. However, your next neighbor is always your helping hand and they will help you regardless of the time of the day!. They are always happy to help with a beaming smile in their faces. It's their pride to help people who are in need and stand by you till things get done or ask a friend for assistance. Filipinos are profound people most especially in the Bayanihan Spirit!!

[@JABM-AU]

Not true... very rare will you find a Filipino organised Volunteer Foundation. 9 out 10 they are either organised by Foreigners OR by Politicians who wants their names on the Foundations labels. I have seen a lot of individual Filipinos who tries to organise clean up day and no one turned up, yet when a Foreigner organises the clean-up you see foreigner and Filipinos alike turn up.... Anyway, the guy wasn't talking about Philippines as a whole, he was referring to Dumaguete.

[@lornaismael6212]

Its seems like the meaning of volunteer is different from each country.

[@Mary-zd8xo]

I think he means organised volunteerism is not actively promoted in the Philippines. I want to say that in the West, it’s not really voluntary volunteerism. In the Philippines, if one is so exposed to the local culture in towns and barrios, you will see real volunteerism. Fellow townsfolk will go to the house of the bereaved and volunteer their help. In schools, parents volunteer to get involved in school activities or donate in school needs. I don’t understand his comments as I have learned since young that Filipinos are known for their supportive spirit.

[@sgtjoe2008]

@@JABM-AU you are ignorant, we have lots of organized volunteer activities, not a big news, or even make a fuzz about but we have lots, i've been to countless volunteer activities like feeding programs, medical missions, tree planting activities, clean up drives, blood letting programs, volunteer fire brigade, search and rescue during disasters and natural calamities, emergency response units...and hundreds more. and these are organized by a small school, a small hospital, a local red cross, a small foundation...etc. you are an idiot to think it's organized by foreigners and politicians. we just love to help and volunteer whenever we can. your comment is just pure ignorance. go do some volunteer work in your community before talking shit on youtube.

Online probably social media Have a stable income like he said an average/minimum of 2000usd or more (inflation) Choose a second tier cities because it is less polluted and traffic, safer, cheap, secondary level hospitals and well-known universities. If you prefer cities I don't see any problem as long as you are willing to take the good with the bad. With that amount you can pay the house, groceries, gas, car, luxuries and even a housemaid. In looking for a wife look for traditionally/conservatively raised that knows how to cook, clean and raise children. DON'T flaunt your wealth. Always stick to your budget and make it clear to your wife and family in laws (expect the parents, siblings and their children to always seek for your help regarding financial problems) help them but set limitations because they will rely on you all the time. Lastly, don't be so naive if you see red flags, let go. Don't be a victim. Be safe and healthy. 👍 Go for it! 🇵🇭

We have sayings here in the Philippines that goes "Discipline starts at home; Tell me who your parents are and I will tell you who you are; Schools are your 2nd home", etc etc. As such every child actually represents their own family. And living with extended family is also a thing.

America is very competitive and capitalistic that's my observation as a Filipino.

[@JohnSmith-ti2kp]

@23zchris-- Yes, there are many negatives to being the number one economy in world, and I could add many more to a growing list.

Wow, the wisdom and knowledge of this man is astounding. I wish the interview was longer or I wish you could interview him again. I like how his constructive criticism about America and the rest of the world. More importantly, I love he integrated himself in our culture and society while being ever so respectful and always keeping an open-mind. Great interview!
