I Am Staying in the Philippines - Visa Extension in Manila 🇵🇭

[@barrycohen311]

20 Years ago I flew from Florida to Manila to meet a girl I met online. She was the Manager of an Internet Cafe in Cubao and I took a Taxi from my hotel to her workplace there. That was some surreal experience for sure. We have been married 18 years now.

[@NorlynCodes]

She is so pretty and has this chill vibe.

[@mjpuffy6285]

Happy for you Tom. You found the right girl.

[@polly9072]

Hi Tom, nice to see you with a nice more down to earth lady. You have good chemistry this time. We are following you since the beginning of covid. We will be in the Philippines in February next year. Greetings from Cyprus. Enjoy your time.

[@RoamingHogan]

Thanks 👍

[@edithadacillo6472]

Mj is already stable with her finances,before he met this man, shes not depending on him,

[@ladyexoticawanderguard712]

@@edithadacillo6472it seems he’s got someone to use as a tour guide or a company to roam around Manila and the lady has no job so shes got all the time to put up with him 😊

[@rhosedelrosario4446]

I agree... @@edithadacillo6472

[@GlennHiggins]

Hi Tom, nice to see you out and about with what I can see a lady that makes you happy. I hope you guys are really enjoying each other's company. Btw I was there in the PI Dec/ January. I finally meet my LDR in Negro's, small town called cadiz city, you should travel down there, there's much to see in around Bacolod( I be back September/october) Down south there is Dumaguette too, siquoir is just an hour by boat, can ride around that island in 1 day I believe. Will hopefully see siquoir next trip, great waterfall and I assume a nice place to unwind, especially with company. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@RJ986S]

Hi Tom, thanks for the vlog. Lai is sweet. You two make a great couple. I liked the way she rested her head on your shoulder (in the first taxi ride.) You make her feel comfortable and at ease. Looking forward to more adventures. 🙂

[@nicolacrickmar8829]

Nice to see you being open with Lai, you have definitly clicked with each other, nice to see you holding hands. She appears to be very down to earth, which suits you better rather than the princess types always looking at themselves and fiddling with their hair, and wanting high end everything. Lai is a refreshing change, you will have to tell us more about how you met, does she work, how old is she....the usual nosey stuff, lol.

[@lifeonamarble961]

Spot on. No offense to his ex, she was a kind woman, but this is my style here. Great attitude and not so much a princess type😁

[@efrenumali7175]

that is so nice brother, no more need to hide. you can vlog freely now

[@surfboard396]

Hi Tom. Nice video. Glad to see you’re having fun and settling in. You seem to be enjoying everything. Happy for you. Thanks again. Slainte . 🍻

[@sandland514]

Awe - so sweet - sometimes life is like a jigsaw puzzle - you have a piece and you try desperately to make it fit but it doesn’t work - and finally you try another and it fits perfectly - where it was meant to be - ain’t love grand. 🌈

[@terpen7375]

Hi Tom. Nice to see you're staying. Can't wait to see all your adventures. I love how you're not afraid to eat in those little restaurants. The food looks great. You guys are a cute couple and I have to say you look more relaxed and into it.

[@MattMatt33713]

Well done! Love seeing your partner in videos as well. She may steal the show as she becomes more comfortable!

[@markymark7631]

Bro you dont have to compete with this girl...its not all about her...she seems content just to be by your side...a proper filipina

[@michaellee7985]

lovely young lady Tom, big contrast from MJ😋, happy for you both . 👋👋👋💯

[@ottokittel709]

less of drama queen, but drama queens are just click bait. nice girl tom

[@GigiIng]

Sir Tom 💪she looks so genuine & not conceited

[@beckyumphrey2626]

She is a beautiful sweetheart. All original. Great video.

[@charitobarbaso541]

Lay is very simple and pretty also...

[@jackibagbaga7638]

Both of you seems to be happy, smiling together and joking alot. I like her simplicity; I hope she takes care of herself; you never know but I hope you both stay together forever.

[@lawrencer8673]

Is Tom getting broody? Hold hands 👫, smiling.....looing more happy. Good to see Tom happy.

[@lawrencer8673]

@Lily-ml9gu Tom always has good chemistry between his female companions. Time will tell if this is a friend or girlfriend.

[@AborigInal_indy]

I think tom is acting holding hands he never did all that with MJ before, only MJ holding him an taking care of him he's playing lil boy sick in bed. MJ taking care of his lazy ass. 🤣

[@AborigInal_indy]

I think Tom loves MJ still an jealous secretly he is trying to make her jealous with this video. It seems MJ doesn't Care. Lol 🤣 she MJ now has a good lad Robbie.

[@edwinaroxas6663]

Tom that girl is so simple and authentic, she is a typical pilipina, wife material.

[@larry1541]

You can just tell she is wife material by watching her on YT 🤣🤣

[@GazinBangkok]

You two have great chemistry 😊

[@oamsingh2008]

Simple down to earth girl. Some good vibes, good luck guys !

[@edenvbernardo5674]

Happy to see Tom and Lay enjoying moments...

[@johngomes4278]

Tom looks happy and I'm glad 🎉

[@johngomes4278]

And lay looks happy too 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@audtom52]

Good video Tom....Great to see you with a "normal" filipina....she looks like a keeper. I was in Makati couple years ago and had to go to Quezon City to get my watch repaired at Ali Mall. Traffic was brutal, so the taxi driver suggested Id be better off taking the train ...I believe it was the IRT. It turned out to be much faster. Quezon is very congested and in June was like an oven. Welcome back to the Philippines dude....I will be in Manila in April before going to Bangkok with my filipina gf....maybe I can buy you guys dinner while I pick your brain about Bangkok.

[@jimsullivanyoutube]

Thanks for taking us along on your date! I enjoyed watching you do all the work and spend all the money! It’s a nice distraction while I’m stuck at my desk here in the US.

[@donshirkey7491]

She is stunning!!!

[@IrmaAbare]

The girl seems so simple and pretty! She's sooo natural and no pretentions , liked her better, not maarte.

[@jennyavelino5672]

not like MJ

[@cusayche8462]

Sad to say but Tom is changing gf everytine where he is, after MJ he dad lot of girls, i guess he is using these girls only

[@David-wolff]

Good video Tom. Keep her. She is good for you

[@jtv848]

I am happy both for Tom & Mj who have moved on to more compatible partners. Lets not compare old & new partners.

[@edenvbernardo5674]

I agree❤

[@edenvbernardo5674]

Agree🥰

[@auralynvillamayor5039]

Agree 👍🏽

[@marissajapson9129]

Totally agree..

[@yollydeleon7113]

Looking forward for long-lasting love team.

[@dorisjustine5040]

She looks pretty and simple. Low maintenance

[@rhodalynjacob7162]

I agree. I like her simplicity and not being “ Maarte” . I hope that Tom will be serious this time and she is for keeps . Hope she’s the one for him ..

[@benildatagle1967]

Agree 3:32 The other one sobrang maarte

[@Jocelyn1975]

She’s not maarte-- she had high standards and there’s nothing wrong with it. She wants more for herself and Filipinos should be like that- Assertive not timid.

[@ednacamacho3073]

Correct these people are bitter and full of jealousy as Mj is almost a perfect girl while Lay looks like Tom’s housemaid a showy she loves to wrap her arms all over Tom’s body

[@wel124]

She's beautiful and simple,. I am sure she's with a good heart and good to keep,.❤ Godbless.

[@ameliatongol9266]

I enjoy watching your vlog Tom , you and Lai looks good together enjoy your stay in the Philippines ❤

[@RoamingHogan]

Thanks

[@tonymars1093]

Happy birthday Tom! You really do have the luck of the Irish. ☘️ Lai is a beautiful woman and she is simple, low maintenance and comfortable with whatever you two are doing. She is a keeper! Her great personality makes her twice as beautiful! Enjoy your travels Tom. I love your Philippines content! I would like to see more of the home invasion videos that you have done in the past.

[@robhawes]

Do enjoy your adventures. Great to see you happy and sharing life with Lay.

[@bryantbemberry34]

Tom, it's great to see you finally show affection for a woman. I always knew you would never have made it with MJ because your relationship with her was all about her and keeping you in a cage in the province. Good luck, my friend, and enjoy love. Dr. B

[@carmelitarobles5648]

I was surprised, you break up with someone, but im happy for you to meet someone very comfortable with you, She is simple and a good accompany ❤❤❤

Yu guys groove pretty well together🎉❤

[@edwarddavies6529]

Really like your style man, you're very personable. Where are you from originally? You sound like from England somewhere. Agree, not a soda man myself either. Water all the way. Actually, Cebu is nicer, and the lifestyle there is awesome =)

[@nancyandrade3686]

You are such a cute couple, Tom. She is such a simple young lady, natural and not over dramatic speaking in English wise, as opposed to. Hoping she would stay the same. I'm excited about what's next for you both. No pressure, Tom. 😊❤

[@springtime5361]

Hi Tom, your girlfriend is beautiful and genuine. Your both are happily having a loving life ( smile). Keep up your awesome videos of you and Lia. More videos of you both!! Comments are rolling in lol!!! May God bless & protect you both. From USA

[@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement]

Very happy for you both Tomand Lai. Tom, you seem much more relaxed than before, and Lai is shy and reaerver, but with a beautiful and natural smile. Tom, don't take her for granted. She's a keeper ❤

Good luck to you and Li she is sweet and she really cares for you god bless u both ❤🎉

[@playbackamusicloversjourne8620]

I suggest going to Vigan. Should get lots of good video content there. BTW Lai gets 2 thumbs up from me.

[@jeffwilson5362]

I have been following on and off some for quite some time now. I would definitely have to say much more now then previously. Very happy for you Tom. You look much happier now brother. I will be there in four days for a months stay.

[@ianbatty186]

I renewed my visa extension in Cebu at Gaisano Mactan Island Mallin Lapu Lapu in 10 minutes. Much better than the J Mall in Mandaue.

[@edenvbernardo5674]

Wow- you are impressed by the fast service Tom❤

[@daveha6638]

Hi Tom looking like a nice place to eat in. Do enjoy your new adventures in the Philippines

[@markavery43]

Nice, quick Visa request there. Enjoy seeing you back in Philippines! Hope the best for y'all. Cannot wait to get back to PI!!!

[@RoamingHogan]

Thanks 🙏

[@billgregory7053]

Good job Tom.........she's delightful! I have a recommendation for you.....travel by bus 3 hours south of Manila to Anilao Batangus to Altamare Dive and Leisure Resort. You have to walk down like 127 steps to get to the resort, but it's worth it. It's right on the ocean. Walk out your room door, down some steps and you can walk into the water and snorkel. It's packed full of coral reefs right off the shore. They also have an island-hopping excursion that takes you Sombrero Island and another private beach that's really nice (white sand). Reasonably priced as well. Definitely not an overcrowded touristy resort (very laid back and chill). Check it out anyway, it's one of my favorite spots for ocean front and snorkeling on Luzon (they have a website). Would make a good vlog I think. Only down fall is it's secluded so not a lot of choices for restaurants. Cheers!

[@KinokoCardano]

Let’s go! 🎉 ₳

[@SKYLINEbenjy]

GREAT VIDEO TOM. LAI IS LOVELY QUIET GIRL. watching you from Ireland 😊

[@brunocalisto5185]

Authentic woman well done Tom.

[@emmahatamichannel988]

So far so good, at least she's not maarte😅like the other one sobra.Good luck!!

[@nowellblack9192]

wow mountain dew in the bottle. That alone would be worth going to the Philippines for.

[@davegoody9603]

Hey Tom you both are smitten with each other and long may it last, she is such a lovely young lady and you both really look good together....as for beaches you got many touristy one's as you know but the 2 stand out one's are Coron and of course borocay which I went in January with my family and truly loved it... So your really spoilt for choice....just enjoy your times with Lay and hope she's for keeps..you said your extending your visa but is this gonna be the last b4 going to another country or you keeping to what you said about staying in Philippines for at least 1 yr ?

[@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement]

You two are having fun, and fun to watxh your experience.

[@ahlee09]

Such a lovely couple! Great vlog Tom

[@billrjones1318]

Keep em coming. Another great video.

[@markarnold7759]

Tom...You seem happy now....lay is awesome...you two are a great match

[@mrbHanoi]

I think she is much better for u than MJ Simple Low maintenance living the way u want to live Not trying to look rich Not overly dramatic She lets u lead and go at your own pace. Pleasant, quiet, easy going Like my wife of 30+ years

[@phillipvick6352]

Agree 100%

[@patrickstraus7974]

@mrbHanoi This comment should be pinned, so true.

[@davegoody9603]

Such a great honest reply and agree 10000%

[@Mikeycambovideos]

What’s the point in comparing her to MJ? I’m sure comments like this are the last thing that the uploader or MJ want to read. Not only that, but your basing your opinion on videos that’s are minutes long and edited. It would be more respectful to everyone if you just compliment his new GF and not compare her.

[@edenvbernardo5674]

@@Mikeycambovideos very true indeed - no camparing - both ladies have their own strengths and weaknesses, and both are beautiful persons... so no camparing, as both touched Tom's life in different times... there are things, matters that we really don't know about... and both are Filipinas--- people, be kind. feelings are everywhere...

Good for you buddy 😊. Your Gf is so cute ❤️❤️. Enjoy your day. Peace out ✌️✌️🙏🇺🇲.

[@mrbHanoi]

Glad u got your visa I am close to getting 2 more years in Hanoi But in 9 months, likely to retire and live in 3 to 5 countries a year so I dont need a long term visa after this year. I think u would like Davao better than Manila

[@ogdale]

Hey Tom you hit the Lotto with Lay!!! I'm with you water or beer. Soda is so unhealthy!

[@Devina210]

ummmmm...beer is liquor, which is all unhealthy.

[@edenvbernardo5674]

different cities in MetroManila have different personalities Tom, so explore it, and enjoy

[@paulbishop2161]

What kind of place do you want to be based? Cubao is great if you want good night life and a central location but it's really busy all day and all night. Fairview is not as busy, a lot cheaper with access to a few big malls all close together - there's a couple of condo buildings with cheap rent there too, we own one there and love to stay there whenever we go back to Manila. All depends what you're looking for? Beaches close to Manila - check out anywhere in Batangas or Puerto Galera

[@amaliahightower]

Much better, cheaper and quicker to take LRT/MRT. You should find a place closer to the train station. Buy the beep card so you don’t have to buy tickets all the time. Mergim Vlogs takes the train and has a beep card. Lay is attractive and will be taking over the vlogs 😂 You2 look good together 🙏

[@unikz2606]

[@andyh5822]

Your gf looks very nice and it's nice to have her in the video I always fast forward your eating because of your eating habits and she eats proper. I'm married to a Filipina as you know if you read my comments and she eats proper but when we are around other locals they don't. Be good to this young lady. Make a video of how you met.
