My experience living in a province on Bohol, the people are unrefined and rud sometimes, they think nothing of cutting in front of you when you are in line. There are many brown outs, the phone service is not great, the ATM's run out of money frequently, there are no American style restaurants and the many loud barking dogs and loud motorcycles. But I am here with the love of my life so it is worth it

😅😅😅 oh my Bohol is one of the poorest areas and undeveloped places in Ph. As a filipino, I don't even wanna live there due to inconveniences, especially brown outs. If u dont wanna experience brownout, live in NCR or metro manila areas since it’s the capital and the government prioritize electricity supply in these areas. I know coz I have lived in Bacolod which is more developed than Bohol but suffers from brown outs from time to time.

Omg I'm on your vlog 😂. I'm Filipina living here in US since 2019. I remember when we bought our first car here, first day... car got towed and fined us $50 for street parking within street cleaning schedule (We don't know the sched yet that time😅). Health insurance sucks here. I'm scared to death being sick here. A simple tooth extraction would cost a lot. In the Phils, its only $10. 😅 I definitely move back to Phils as soon as my kids finish their school here. Planning to live in the province though we have a house in the city. 😊

Hey J, yeah I remembered your comment and was like "let me add that in". There were emails from some people as well saying it was a nice resort or place we were staying. So I decided we would show that it's the public park and river! Wow getting towed is no joke in the US, can be like $300 or more which is scary. I'm getting used to the opposite, Lei's motorbike has to get serviced every couple of months and it's like $15-20 for a bunch of things. Hope you and the fam are good 👍

The outdated hospitals are the only drawbacks of living in the Philippines' provinces. Governments in the Philippines are still having trouble maintaining that. The most frequent reason for power outages is the sustenance of electricity, which comes in second. The rest is perfect aside from those. You'll be fine as long as you're happy and content leading a very straightforward but tranquil island life. There is no noise pollution, political pressure, global issues, etc. Being from the island of Siquijor, that's just my opinion.

Democratic and beautiful country as a whole, criminals are prosecuted even high profile cases. Even governors, mayors etc are put into jail. Which is not likely happen in the Philippines. Philippines in some areas are polluted, few crimes here and there, high cost of living in big cities. It is generally expensive is some places. If you have money then i think you can survive in the Philippines. You will enjoy the beaches and islands.

I just want to live a quiet lifestyle within walking distance of a beautiful beach and a market where I can buy meat, seafood, and fresh produce to cook. And maybe a few simple restaurants where I can get some healthy meals that taste better than my own cooking. I'd love to hear more about your favorite destinations and see more of your surroundings.

Mass shooting is none-existent here, absolutely zero. The shootings we have here are different in nature, the motives are different, so, it is not as deadly as in the US. In the US, a shooter will shoot anyone on site, with an intention to kill as much people as possible, this is on the level of terrorism. Yes, we have terrorism here at home, this can be compared with mass shootings in the US because the outcome is the same.
@mytextstories Жыл бұрын
Gun shootings are.common in the US because some people there have no one to run to when they're sad. They are always alone because individualalism and independence are encouraged by parents. SOME parents kick their kids out when they turn 18 leading young people homeless , drug dependent and depressed, especially when they're having a hard time on their finances. No one to depend and if they got money,they'd play violent games and these factors contribute to having weak people who would shoot others. Weak men create difficult times. If only they are strong, guided accordingly by their family, they wouldn't shoot people.
