Tu kya wha gya tha😂

[@филиппинец]

Vlad is my neighbor; I’ve known him for about 10 years. I’m 29 years old. He always engages with the younger generation, which is why he looks so well-preserved😁👍

[@Korbkorn]

He is the kind of Foreign person the Philippines needs more of, professional, educated, good moral character and a stable individual. We don’t care more people go to Thailand because many of them are not the ones that fit in our society.

[@what_sparks_joy]

spot on. when it comes to tourism, its quality over quantity.

[@minttrax]

[@ellencelis9415]

[@cesc7804]

He discovered the secret of the Filipinos! The magic of smiling, the importance of living the moment. He actually found the true essence of life in the Philippines - finding happiness in sharing ones blessings ❤️

[@johntonelete]

I’m married to Filipina as well… 5 kids and 4 grandchildren later, Cebu was for sure our favorite city we lived in … we are in Numancia/Kalibo now, but still love our visits to Cebu. The best air. The best weather. And beautiful landscape and people.

So much wisdom just by listening to him 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I like what he said if you become more understanding to people on how they do things and allow them then you become a happier person.

[@deliasanchez6651]

[@cyndig1670]

A really fantastic interview and an honest assessment of the Phl too!

[@BakerGuy-pc9lu]

thou Philippines lagged behind in its peers in SEA in terms of tourists arrivals, but still managed to have a way more quality tourists in the Philippines in terms of spendings and education.

[@erwincagampan5777]

I have to agree

[@eduardochavacano]

Philippines is more expensive for tourism due to tourism practices.

[@bennyventura4286]

Positive chat. Sensible. Not much people like him talk about himself openly. Bless this channel.

[@martinm835]

Thanks so much for interviewing this guy, very down to earth, realistic, credible and talk about family, he found his peace.

[@CarlWithACamera]

You’re sitting at the same table where we used to have our investor group meetups; Vlad, me and a couple other guys. Vlad is a good man.

[@TRONABORON]

Really good interview! Thank you.

[@edwardcook8982]

Very smart Russian - he enjoys life to the fullest, yet he fully understood his being human. He possessed a high level of IQ & EQ - easy to get along with.

[@minicraftylady]

Beautiful and interesting story…thanks for sharing

[@leilanihuab6036]

"Dreams now, to see my daughters getting married". I like that...This is what Filipino parents dream for their children...Vlad is more Filipino now than Russian. Of course, every parent would want to see their children to be successful especially in this generation where women need to work hard like men but seeing them getting married gives them some sort of assurance that their children would be okay now that they're settled. Even until the 80's many parents would say that they can die in peace after their children got married.

[@jeffreyadelung2353]

That guy looks and acts amazing for his age. Crazy..awesome

[@beli-sa]

Best blog I’ve seen about life in the Philippines!

[@geronimacabrera2095]

[@TheManoy66]

Hey its Vlad! We used to ride motorcycles together and i sometimes run into him at random places in the island. Super cheerful guy always carrying a genuinely smile.

[@johnconstantinelegaspi2790]

[@NewMexicoMister]

I love this guy, Vlad is my idol! 🙂 Great interview, and thanks, Vlad, for giving us a great role model for us older guys!

[@bikerace1684]

As a Filipino, this is a very objective and true opinion. Kudos to this guy.

We are proud filipino here watching ur vlogs🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭💝💝💝🙏🙏🙏

[@RR52517]

Thank you for choosing the Philippines.

[@zensvlognotapro]

Yes the more organized person, and who wants order the unhappy they are. Sometimes we need to live Life As It Is . Unhappiness usually is self- inflicted. Good talk, this is great 👍

[@Tomas-p9q]

Very nice interview. I’m an American, well educated, financially well off but chose the Philippines to have a nice stress free simple lifestyle after years of a daily professional grind. I have two wonderful daughters 37 & 40 but started another family here with a great Filipina partner and now a 19mo old daughter. I am so happy and delighted to be a father again at 62. I would like to have one more child. It keeps me young and happy and the Philippines is a great place to raise a child. I’m lucky to have the resources and time to start a family again. I like this gentleman’s perspective on life. I come across many Russians here and other foreigners from a variety of countries that make the Philippine experience more interesting. I’m happy and grateful for the Philippine culture to live in this smiling country. ☮️🇺🇸

[@tessjohansson77]

Im Filipino 100% traditionally raised but I freed myself with this stereotype to support financially to parents as mandatory for some families. Im a mother too but I give my son his freedom without asking him for anything in return. Especially now that he graduated in college we have our different way of life. Ive used to support myself when I was young and my the late mother herself way back time she didnt have any headache for me. What life would ne its our way to live. Its a freewell to support your parents but not obligatory at all... Parent who asking in return from their children seems they're having business😂.... Freedom is always given..❤❤❤

[@neeldani7450]

It is good if you don't expect any support from your children. But it is bad if you abandon your parents who expect support from you.

[@tessjohansson77]

@@neeldani7450 no I dont abandon my parents.Its kinda of situation that we dont need to support them, sort of living independently by all means financially its not necessary to give them.We've make a living in our own ways to live the life without obligatory in returns.

[@yeyefab]

I must say that supporting your family is not forced. Filipinos do it because of"charity begins at home" If you are the more blessed one & you want to share your blessings, why not? I am glad that my 22-yr old has not forgotten his aunties when he immigrated. He is a working student but once in a while he sends $100 to me n my sister. We have told him to refrain from it but he still continue. Then I realized, let him be for if we discouraged him, he might end up a selfish man. Then we would be respnsible for that. It is his choice, not forced. And I am happy that he has grown to be a fine man at 22. I am sure he will be rewarded by God for not being selfish, for sharing his blessing. Bless his heart. Am so proud of him & we cant help but give credit to him. ❤

[@yeyefab]

​@@tessjohansson77good that you are financially well but he was obviously talking abt our less privileged Filipinos. Ako lucky to have a nephew with a big heart. He is a 22 yr old working student in the US, recently migrated. He sometimes sends $100 to me n my sister. We told him to refrain. But still, he continues. Come to think of it, if we stop him then he might end up selfish then kasalanan na namin yun. He gives perhaps as gratitude for being the aunties who took care of him while his mother was abroad. And since he has the means to help, he decided to share his blessings. He is a working student but he is not on student loan and he is living with his mother n step father. Mind you, he sends gifts, too! Once, a package arrived - a Samsung tablet ❤ He is not forced but out of the goodness of his heart, he shares. So proud of how he becomes

[@marieastwood5016]

I wish you all the best 🎉

[@haylaveet]

I like the timed summary of the video ... Absolute fun re self-awareness about two Russians speaking English in their own way

[@elpidioreal9917]

Only the most virgin Pacific Ocean 🌊 water 💦 that enters the Philippines and exits to various Asian countries due to the rotation of the earth 🌍🌎. Love the Philippine beaches!

In life you have to make your own decisions and plan accordingly. For we have diff. views on it. So where you feel like you’re happy and comfortable on. Go for it. 😮😢😂❤

amazing video for this topic there isnt much on YT like this... excellent work

12:24 yeah that was funny, first time vacation to ph after 6 years abroad,i can smell the pollution, and i miss it a lot, home!

[@HaberitoManalo-no3yf]

good for some foreigners who really understood the filipino culture the same can live harmoniously with the locals! Bravo 😅😅😅

[@gloriabort2879]

As foreigners , it’s good to meet a woman who is more or less of your level, family background , and education. Living here in Germany, some can be chaotic also. I think it depends on the upbringing and educational background.

[@grandpapeteswordsofwisdom7114]
