Interesting and nice guy, with a great attitude! I'm an American expat married to a Cebuano and living in the province by the sea. I enjoy many of your guests, although some I might not click with.:) but that's life. It's really remarkable how different many expats are, and how different their outlooks and experiences are. As far as mingling with the locals, as this man chose to do, there are many who really enjoy that sense of being surrounded by many fellow foreigners. It does make a difference in one's outlook , and experience for better or worse I think. I look forward to the next story!

[@reginao2342]

I'm an American expat woman.

[@everymanhasastory]

So nice to hear a woman's opinion. Thank you for watching Regina

[@marcrichard7251]

Wow Mark I really like this guy….he’s so well spoken and friendly….this is one of your better interviews….

[@everymanhasastory]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it Marc. Thanks for watching

[@popiekalangie8624]

Agree, friendly, easy to talk to

[@oittisallen4057]

You guys are really experienced. It really makes me want to get off my lazy ass and learn a different language. And venture the rest of Asia.

[@joban7851]

Humble man is successful 👍🏼

[@arnieljovero1008]

I love this guy due to his comment to befriend and intermingle with local people in earnest and not in superficial way. I noticed that too, foreigners has little or nor Filipino friends at all.

[@K7DAN]

Thanks for the kind comments, everybody. It was a real pleasure meeting and talking with Mark at his seaside paradise!

[@alansmith4387]

What a great guy, more interviews please Mark

[@nunyabiznes33]

Am Filipino and this is informative hearing the stories of people that moved here.

[@tonyp2601]

Arrival cards are required only for foreigners. The airline personnel probably assumed all passengers were Filipinos. Anilao, Mabini, Batangas is indeed a good diving spot. Just a 2.5 to 3 hour drive from Manila. Total strangers here will help you change tires. I totally agree with the advice at the end - have local friends. The best way to do it is to join the local church and civic organizations. You will get invited to their parties.

[@otrebtuazon177]

I am Filipino living in HK for 30 plus years but looking forward to retiring in the Philippines soon. Thanks Mark for interviewing that nice guy. Very informative.

[@anneb3170]

I have not been back in Philippines in 40 yrs

[@diegolima5805]

You have a great KZbin channel mark , this individual has a very interesting life . You ask the right questions that help us see what the Philippines is like . Keep up your great work .

[@thaimaxcan]

Mark, another great interview. You must be happier now to be able to find new peopple to interview as foreigners start are coming back.

[@everymanhasastory]

Yes, It's getting easier to find guys to interview. It was a challenge during the height of the pandemic.

[@FlyFisherGolfing]

He makes a very good point, make friends w/ the locals. Do you foresee interviewing filipino expats and locals? Have you connected w/ the locals besides the local women? it would be very interesting what their point of view.

[@johnintheus5260]

Nice video Mark - seems like a very nice guy. Always a unique experience with airlines in the Philippines, but the people are so, so friendly!

[@aumarigan]

2:57 Hearing him say this thing about the Dash and bagagge procedures, proves he really used to work for an airline.

[@newslettermarketer8893]

That was a great interview. I like his prospective and story.

[@jamesbowie6925]

Great interview, smart, interesting guy, traveling the world enlightens people😊

[@scottsachs2547]

Hi Mark. Great interview again!! Well, just let me say, I miss a clothes dryer! Haha.. In the winter and sometimes in the summer it will take 2 days for the clothes to dry here. Besides the clothes do not smell like "spring fresh" outside because of the air pollution!

[@pattystephens5977]

Such an insightful guest you had.

[@juanchavarria1815]

What a wealth of experience your guest has! 👍

[@marcrichard7251]

Have him back on Mark….he’s vey informative and you don’t have to pull information out of him as he just offers it….

[@maritesguillermo5108]

Ahaha eggs come from chicken. 😂 we don't need imported eggs, sir. There's a lot of poultry farms in the Phils. Btw, i like the way how clear he speaks, really a teacher/professor. Apply teaching to any of the international schools in the Phils., sir. 😍

[@jasonwill5949]

As a former airline employee the flying benefits were the best as pay wasn’t that great. I was able to fly all around the world often in business class with my family. The airlines don’t like advertising that though because then a lot of paying customer would be upset. Most airlines have interline agreements so you can pretty much fly with most carriers. The 2000s were the best decade to do it but then the airlines went bankrupt and had to start charging for everything as you see today with baggage, food, etc.

[@aumarigan]

24:17 Best part of the interview.

[@garyt7232]

Another great guest. Dan has an interesting background. All the best to you and Jen.

[@everymanhasastory]

Glad you enjoyed it Gary

[@maggiepmc4820]

🤣🤣🤣, I didn’t expect that answer “chicken”

[@aryan6536]

:) great interview I watched it twice, what an amazing life. My life story is left school at 16, failed all exams, started working in a travel agency delivering and collected tickets. TBC

[@josephkephart6747]

Very interesting guest. Mark Thank you. Once again My day is not complete until I watch your video

[@jtorres514]

Great Video. I’ve enjoyed your progress of interviewing skills. You allow you interviewee to share more of their story without the introductory of your personal expenses. Happy for your personal growth here. If you keep it up Mark I wouldn’t be surprised if you had your own radio/TV Filipino life show every week paid by a Filipino Broadcaster.

[@everymanhasastory]

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.

[@edbrackeen5979]

So, Shanghai is under severe starvation lockdown now. I don't see how anyone could consider travel there now.

[@jetboatjohnny357]

I enjoy your interviews, especially Paul who I met on his recent visit to California. We are going back to San Simon Pampanga in 2 weeks and plan to travel around on our 2 month visit. My wife's brother is in Cebu and plan to visit Negros Island as well. We would like to share our story, but told Paul he gets first shot! Thanks so much for sharing and the effort you put in on here.

[@everymanhasastory]

Thanks for your support.

[@franklyszkiewicz8904]

Great information and advice Stev

[@theblock4945]

the "chicken" joke got me 😂😂😂

[@mrslcom]

This guy would make a great ambassador or a foreign relations advisor.

[@siopaothegreat]

I really like this guy. Watching uour videos while I work. Learning many things from your guests

[@1clkvideos140]

Great interview Mark. What a great story Dan has! I’m regularly amazed at the lives some guys have lived prior to their arrival in the Philippines. Thanks Dan for your story and your travel tips!

[@everymanhasastory]

Thank you for watching!

[@petemorris777]

I totally agree with your guests comments about being in the Philippines and meeting mainly Filipinos Especially if one has chosen to retire here rather than having an extended stay But of course you have to be the type of person who can go and put himself out there and chat to anyone But if you are or if you can make the effort those chance encounters and conversations are priceless

[@leticiachiok8057]

This is quite an interesting interview and informative about the numerous travels this guy has been to.

[@GettinReal]

I lived in Taiwan and they posed they were democratic too.

In my recent move to Thailand , I had everything in hard copy , my photo was one a back up ,

[@jaylo9361]

I've watched some of your vlogs before. I don't usually subscribe but this one I really liked. Don't get me wrong, you produce great contents, for me this vlog connected with me, mainly because i felt his sincerity, honesty, and yeah, that bit of humor made it complete :). Subbed! (just wanted to mention i like your previous vlogs with bud brown also)

[@edbrackeen5979]

I am teaching English here person to person but I would like to do online as well. How can I get going with online teaching?

[@anythinggoose8336]

Interesting guy.😍

[@tobyflenderson5341]

would be curious to ask more questions about living in hong kong...if he still paying for an apartment how much his rent is, if he owns an apartment, cost of living etc.

[@klausschumacher7126]

Maybe the Americans see the Filipinos so wonderful because they don't feel it in the US...my car in the US broke down and nobody helped me. Happily l could arrange a tow truck. In the Philippines they do immediately but not only in the Philippines. I think the problem is the behavior of the people living in the West...

[@haydeeobedoza8313]

Yes exactly....

[@scottpull12]

I just arrived in PI last month and forgot about the One Health Pass. Korean air made me fill out out before boarding so it was approved by the next day. I sweated all of that and then no one checked it in the Philippines.

[@eunicef1]

Thanks! Interesting guy. Does his tip mean arrive at the end of a big queue or arrive with a long queue behind?

[@Karma52]

Most maputi gringos go, and live, in the same areas of the philippines 🇵🇭. Although it has 2500 islands you can live on.

[@MainaPhukan]

🥰🥰

[@scottsdialyadventure1338]

Always great to hear others life experience.. I got a comment on why people fly in-and-out of the Philippines via Manila Manila, I never had a good experience in that airport crazy .. Cebu or even recently tagbalerin, Bohol are So much easier . And then just a hop to negros.. That is really fascinating to hear about Manufacturing marketing,products and dealing with the Chinese very interesting to me Thanks for your time and sharing all this have a great day

[@davidhankins5708]

Several years ago, my wife was visiting her Dads family in Manila when she had an emergency with her mom in Tacloban. I called Philippines Air Lines to book her a flight to her moms province, and I found out that you can pay in advance for overweight luggage, and it was really cheap, like 20 bucks per ticket. I don't know if they still have that option but worth checking. Thanks for the videos. I do enjoy them!

[@addylunadellafave4861]

❤️❤️❤️

[@manwork6545]

Hello Mark. Just wanna know if you have done the SRRVisa and if not, will you plan to make it soon or later? Thanks a lot for your videos, they are really interesting.

[@everymanhasastory]

No I will do the 13A since I am married to a Filipina

[@jeffreymore6799]

What exactly is Exphat short for asking for me not a friend

[@everymanhasastory]

I think it means expatriate meaning no longer connected to their home country

[@edylganado3083]

Ha ha ha chicken.....he he he

[@edbrackeen5979]

Hong Kong? Really?

[@kn-qz7by]

One of my biggest concerns about living in anywhere in China and even Taiwan is the “gutter oil” issue. If you’re not familiar with what “gutter oil” is look it up yourself, there are videos about it. No, you cannot make this stuff up. I’ve never heard of it being used in the Philippines and hopefully it’s not!

[@krissmaboragaysofficials6370]

One of the best poeple in asia is Chinese The Gentle Giant of Asia...

[@haydeeobedoza8313]

???

[@springhillgolfer878]

If China is going to take Taiwan are they also going to take The Philippines?

[@everymanhasastory]

No and never happen
