Our worker shot dead in rice field - Philippines province

[@aso6437]

I been married for 20 years to my wife I tried doing AG work, but Filipino's make it impossible to live and work here.. I gave up rented a house in town and live a quiet life. honestly it's the only way to go. even if you find great workers then, you have others that are jealous and another issue. I had a worker attacked he ended up in jail defending himself. I came here to retire so we should just seek quiet lives here. Really so very nice here now just be retired.

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

I have experienced that very thin roofing material with a shed kit I bought in Scotland. During the first good fall of snow, the roof caved in. It had already been damaged by wind because when I first assembled it I didn't get the door on. That first night the wind got up and the shed swelled like a balloon! I scrapped the shed and bought a proper wooden one.

yeah it's definitely better to spend that little extra on higher quality materials brother.

My inquisitive mind got the better of me and I went in amongs them and started chatting. Day was unreal hot. I bought a coca cola for myself and 4 ice-cream for the kids that was there. After i done that..... attitudes really changed. I was even offered a chair in the shade. I observed their work (being a mechanic myself) Became good friends with them.

The place is starting to take shape Brian. Ever thought about getting Tess a gun license as a foreigner isn’t allowed to own one. Cheers 🍻 mate

[@whitesamurai]

There is no point in having a gun if you aren't willing to use it. If you listen to his video, it is obvious he can't defend himself or his family: he hates guns and wants the police to do the hard lifting for him. This is the problem with foreigners in the Philippines: they think they are smarter than the locals, keep bringing their foreign values with them, trying to change the new country into the one they just left. It is silly and makes no sense. But 99% of them think this way.

[@daddybob6096]

@peterpoulter1420 I'm a Kiwi and we have a house on Cebu where we lived for several years. My wife obtained a gun licence and we purchased 1911 Colt 45 for our protection. The Pulis told me it was ok for me to use it for defensive purposes, should i find it necessary to do so. If we went to the mountains, i always carried it in a shoulder bag, just in case. I'm a veteran infantry soldier, NZ.

My wife actually worked in security in Manila when we met and I have suggested she renew her license to carry a gun! Foreigners can not own guns in the Philippines and if caught with an Illegal firearm its grounds for deportation brother. Also a black listing stopping you from ever returning to the country. Don't assume other peoples attitudes or opinions coz it rarely is accurate. Thanks for your input mate lol

[@whitesamurai]

@@BrianandTesinthePhilippines talking smack about guns in the Philippines is going to be interpreted as either talking smack about guns or talking smack about the Philippines. Only two choices: 1) being a coward and hating guns or 2) being a loser and hating the Philippines but still living there. People are pretty tired of listening to foreigners going to the Philippines and not liking it or trying to change it or complaining about the way things are or talking crap about the country. It would be better if the loser foreigners left the Philippines and went back to their home country. I know that means getting a job again since many of them can afford to live in the Philippines without working but would need to work if they went back home. But I am tired of listening to whiners complain or try to change the new country into the shth@le they left. For the record, I don't consider all foreign YTers to be losers. But if they are doing YT with the hopes of making money, rather than as a public service, then the chances go up a lot.

My suggestion if your getting any work done for yourself pertaining to building or car repair is to be hands-on. They take shorts cuts on things. For example, I had one of the highest ranked roofing places do my roof with Spanish style roofing and it was suppose to be the thickest grade. After Oddette hit and it rolled the roofing on the front of my house up like a cigarette I found out it wasn't and they didn't secure the end run of the roof structure to any of my post. Fortunately my pastor friend has a building supply place and got me the roofing to replace it that was the thickest available here. My brother inlaw needed work, and he is a welder, so him and I beefed up the roofing frame work properly and replace the metal.My suggestion on blocks is do 6 inch blocks at 40 blocks per bad .Lesson learned

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

@@relaxbecalm5574 Unfortunately if they're getting 40 blocks per bag 6 inch blocks, I think there is virtually no cement in them.

Wow, some ugly stories there Brian. On the brighter note, you at least have the car going. Rice fields look great. Hope you and families are okay there. Always a worry when you get further from the main cities. It's not just the guns, but the mentality of the criminals is getting worse, world wide. Definitely bad that they are going to people's houses.

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

yes Allan it's a worry that they are so desperate now they are pushing the boundaries with home invasions. Plus penalties here are ridiculous, they only get like 6 years for murder here. And we are all going great thank you, can't wait to get things properly started out here.

[@sproket168]

Great video, mate. Just a thought. What would you do if god forbid you and your wife split. Would you let her have it all and walk away?

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

Well we are building it mainly for the 2 boys mate. The house will be mine but the land will remain hers until she passes away then our 2 sons will get it so I guess the short answer is yes. Although Tes is not like that, she would offer to sell it and give everything back to me, that's her attitude since before we met and I have no doubt she would want to do that. But im happy for the boys to have somewhere they can build when old enough so the land will stay in the family

Where do you live in the Philippines? Because that's not a safe place and I would like to stay away from that area.

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

Haha anywhere can be unsafe. Taxi drivers in Manila were kidnapping foreigners last year. This was a targeted attack and the 3 masked gunmen had escaped from the city prison. I'm sure you will agree there are murders committed in every city and country in the world. This is no different. Thanks for watching.

[@StormyJack-qk2tn]

most probably his wife put the hit, very common there....I was in Cebu 2015 a neighbour ran a business, the business partner had him shot and demanded the wife give up the dead husband part in the business...fkn cruel, watch yourself..

[@alexrichards24]

@@BrianandTesinthePhilippines I thought Masbate was a safe place. It would be great if you could travel to some of the smaller islands of Masbate, such as, Ticao Island, Burias Island and Jintotolo Island, they seem to have lots of nice white beaches.

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

@@alexrichards24 for the most part yes but there are still NPA here and a lot of places in the Philippines. The city is obviously much safer than small provinces but it's so peaceful out here. 🦘✌️

@@BrianandTesinthePhilippines Thank you for letting me know about the NPA. I just Googled it. The travel advice for Aussies is do not go to Southern Mindanao due to an Islamic insurgency, they forgot to mention the NPA which seems to be everywhere

Where did the shooting take place ? Damn, I thought that America was the only crazy place with guns. Can a foreigner own a gun there too ? What is the crime rate like ? Such a shame about the foreigner prices there Mate

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

@@VWApachey Everything here is very Americanised and no, foreigners can not own guns legally here. We are on the island of Masbate and we found out yesterday his cousin had been shot also a few towns away so it was definitely a targeted hit. Still don't know the exact reason behind it mate but there was obviously an issue with someone. And some places are good with pricing, you just need to find em lol. Thanks for watching brother 🦘✌️

Comment on the wheel hub assembly "bearings"!! Do you even know how hard it is to do that job?? I know somethings are cheaper in the Philippines, but don't be so darn cheap with labor as you probably paid more for the parts for sure so you wanted the work done as cheap as possible. Give the local Filipinos a decent wage that they deserve for their hard work!!!!!!!!

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

@@kevinagullana742 Actually mate I know how easy it is to do, it's 5 bolts after removing 2 bolts for the brake caliper. It's a 45 minute task and the quote in the province was 500 peso. That's a days salary here. 2500 is a complete overcharge and means a mechanic here is earning 3,300 peso per hour??? I can actually get one fitted in Australia for less money. My issue is not the amount but the fact that they want to charge me 5 times the proper rate. I'm sure you'd be happy if your mechanic in the west did that?

Sounds to me like your security problems are just starting. Wish I had real useable suggestions for there but no knowledge of local laws and regulations. Get women and men there all licenced for firearms. Dogs I'd recommend shepards and one or two Irish Wolfhounds. Huge, fast and very intimidating with no fear. The wild wild east. My condolences to the affected family there. Is a paid security company an affordable option to you? Careful planning and keep safe!!

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

@@NormanEvans-y7f pure breed dogs are almost non existent here and there are no security companies in the little provinces. The big cities are where all the security is but not really affordable. Appreciate the suggestions brother and thanks for watching 🦘✌️

[@chrisreed3929]

I know what Duterte did, and I am not saying I agree with it, but he did make Phils a lot safer for the vast majority of people. Regarding the killing, obviously targeted and something's fishy there. The calibre of that rifle is not commonly available there except in law enforcement and military. Even in the huge illegal firearms industry there, it's uncommon, preferring 7.62x39 or 5.56 instead (AK and M16/Ar15 popular with NPA and criminal gangs). Anyway, you know Phils, nine day wake getting drunk and gambling, and memories then fade quickly.

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

@@chrisreed3929 oh it was 100% targeted coz his cousin got knocked the following day 3 barangays away. 🦘✌️

I’m not against guns, but the Philippines has a similar gun culture to the USA. This rarely happens in Indonesia. There’s no comparison. Which proves something to me.

[@BrianandTesinthePhilippines]

Well you just watched it and commented haha. I see you have a very successful KZbin channel and are highly qualified to give expert advice lol. My KZbin stats say exactly the opposite to your opinion and I wasn't whining. You have completely missed the point mate, these vids are to inform other foreigners about life here before they come. Seems you are the only one whining about a channel you are not forced to watch mate. Everyone else has figured out if they don't like the content to just scroll on. Maybe it's time you learned to do the same, Scroll not troll hahaha. Thanks for the view brother.
