Philippine life from the province. Let's keep it real and honest.

Let's enjoy this life. Less dramas and more love. I hear unhappy stories from vloggers about the Philippines almost everyday. If its that bad then I ask myself why are they still here.

[@michaelatoz580]

You want a posttive experience in the Philippines just get on a jeepney and pay for entire bus run for everyone who gets on and off. For the most part its less than 500 peso but to see this simple act of kindness you will see just how much you make a difference in there life.. 30 pesos is nothing to most westerns but will bring a smile to all the Filipino on the jeepney you will make friends for life if you do things like this act of kindness. Dont be that guy that treats them like a peasant you are a guest in there house treat them with respect.

Many expat vloggers are from the cities and that's their point of view. Like you I am from the province and that's why my videos are upbeat and positive like yours. Because that's my experience

[@Philippinedreaming]

@@Ex-Pensive_Expat thank you for your positive comment. I often watch your channel. Great content my frieind

[@DC-sr8qy]

I just found this channel today and have been watching yours for a couple of months. I'm glad to have found both after a year or so of watching videos as they are the most aligned with what I'm looking for. Hoping to take a 6-12 months off work in the next year or two to try out living in the province (I'm still likely a long ways from retirement! But should be able to afford a decent trip)

Most of the drama vblogers have only been in the philippines for 2 or 3 years thats not long enough time to get to know the philippines

[@Philippinedreaming]

Yes true John, Some even less time. I think some of them just like the drama as it creates views for them.

[@john-yt1fm]

@@Philippinedreaming That's true I think it's for drama for views I also think that some need YT to be able to survive in the PH as they had no forward planning There is one that comes to mind who is the 2500 3000 you need but lives in a 80us room and his GF left makes ??????

[@maygrantz4426]

Hi, and I'm curious about your vlog and it turn out quite insightful and when you mentioned the other vlogers were focus of the drama and negativity , anyway I think they are not happy and whatever their agenda to this drama and negativity, I'm tired of the drama and negativity.Hopefully, sir I suggest you can share an inspiring story and share this vibrant culture of Filipinoes.Anyway, I'm glad that I have found your vlog and I will be excited to hear your next story.....

[@Philippinedreaming]

You are wrong if you says you have no right in the Philippines as a foreigner, In the Philippines YOU HAVE THE RIGHT IF YOU ARE RIGHT!

[@Philippinedreaming]

Yes in a perfect world your right for sure. But here i had a motorcycle accident and i was in the right. The police sided with the other Filipino guy all the way until i said check the CCTV footage outside the Municipal. The police suddenly changed their tune.

[@RacGluz]

To all expat or alien...stay cool you come herecas tourist dont preyend you own phils. Be kind stay away from fights relax just go selfwhere and respect ....

[@Philippinedreaming]

100% right. I totally agree with you.

[@weeooh1]

First time visitor to your channel. Love your vids and commentary. Am more of a city guy but a big part of me yearns for that closer to nature provincial life. May try it someday but have a feeling would get bored pretty quick and be back in the city after a week. 😄

[@Philippinedreaming]

@@weeooh1 yes it's not for all. I go to the city often for a few beers and to see friend there.

[@didierhoudeville7567]

I've just discover your chnnel today and i've watched already you video about cost of living in province in the Philippines. I am living here also with my filipina girlfriend since 2 years and half. I completely agree with you regarding a monthly budget for a simple but happy life. I am spending around 300 additionnal $ because i support my family 's girlfriend. Regarding your video "Philippine life from province i agree that in Philippines we have an happy life if our attitude are right. Filipinos are really friendly. I am not also looking specially to meet other expats. Many are drinking like crazy and complain regularly about Philippines for things who are not true.

[@Philippinedreaming]

Thank you for your message. Yes i agree with fully regarding many foreigners drink themselves crazy then talking down the Philippines. Not for me to mix with them. I love living here in the province much better than the city.

[@Decapitorr]

vloggers do a great job telling people not to buy property in other people name because you can be scammed. this is what is bothering you

[@Philippinedreaming]

Its simple maths. You carry on renting and all that rent is dead money that is gone with nothing to show for it. At least building a place its ours and something to leave y son. Nothing is bothering me.

[@servicesofmontgomery]

Honest? You want honest? Start with you, you are a retiree, or you might be a tourist in the Philippines, but you are not an expat. Expat is a person employed in a foreign country who intends to return to their home country. So look at your visa, then state with honesty, what you are

[@Philippinedreaming]

I am working here. Also i am married to a Filipina with a permanent resident status. An expat or expatriate is simply defined as a person who lives outside their native country.
