With respect to healthcare, my family is fully insured in the Philippines, but this is hats off to HK, when my wife gave birth to our son in HK, the pre-natal, birth, post natal and vaccinations cost us around USD 80 - the HK health service is modelled on the NHS so if you are a taxpayer you are pretty much sorted.

[@Destinavigator]

👋🏼 Small struggling Travel Channel here. I love your content, thanks for this great video! You inspire me to keep grinding my channel, maby one day I’ll grow as big as you 🥲

[@Lea-fg1ym]

Hi Patrick Armstrong 😉That was a very nice conversation you have with Max. You’re welcome here in the Philippines ❤🇵🇭

[@ardenchan1213]

It must be nice to travel, live one's life, and not having family dragging you down.

[@Moss_piglets]

It's all about priorities. If you're the breadwinner, teach the family that you're not an ATM. You're not helping anyone if you get dragged down. You'll all still have the same status in life if you can't help yourself first. Like the saying goes, "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".

Yes, I've always noticed a big similarly with the Irish and the Philippines. Both have the wonderful gift of gab. My friends from Cork could talk for hours on any subject..

[@answerman9933]

I would never consider staying anywhere near any large city,such as Manila.

[@arkitotoyz]

Way to go Max. This is another great overseas content! I got a bit tired watching your SG contents, so I really like watching and listening to foreigner's perspectives living in other Asian countries aside from SG.

Few places in philippines are modern, like bgc, but the rest of the country is a medieval community.

[@pidgy_poofoom]

and we like it that way. diversity is our charm.

[@nlf17]

I absolutely disagree! but won't bother to explain why.....

[@igorivanov-c4o]

@@pidgy_poofoom diversity is what makes your country divided, philippinese people are known as people with no sense of unity and genuine love of their country, they are generally selfish and corruption is a testament to their greed.

[@napcampo6403]

Give it about 10 years mate and you will see you cant trust no one and they lack manners, common sense, critical thinking skills, driving skills, honesty and honor and this is across the board rich and poor. It gets to were you just have to ignore it and keep to yourself.

[@tbag315]

Only took me 4 years to figure out what liers, scammers, thieves and Gossipers they are. So I agree with everything you say.
