Thank you Rob and Chrissy for the tour of your home. Link to them here youtube.com/@flymetothephilippines?si=pdBg9PC3TnYwJM4H

[@PanamaChele7373]

Thanks Bruh! Great Video ~ Ive been watching you and Rob & Chrissy since December! Love is in the Air for You & Rob!!!! I plan to be there for your wedding! When you do that!

[@1307scooter]

Been watching them for about a year now, I am glad to see that they are finally married. Congratulations to them.

[@loverofsong9830]

What an incredible deal for such a gorgeous house, a spectacular view, a lovely breeze, not to mention the peace and quiet. Pure bliss. 🥰

[@Beer-Money]

What an amazing place, I would pay $2,500 a month for that place right now!

[@charms_03]

Which location is this

[@jsully4064]

So had a delivery one time for an elementary school in the US, it was lunchtime and the kids were in the gym/cafeteria. They were so loud, could barely hear the teacher right next to me. When I mentioned it the teacher said they let them get it out of their system at lunch so they can teach them in class. Think kids being loud is universal...lol Nice to see Kat and Chrissy getting along so well. Congrats to Chrissy and Rob on their marriage. Thanks for showing this beautiful home, Michael...Jim

[@wintersojourn9356]

Many many years ago, our family doc (in USA), used to laugh about when it was time for jr or senior high school athletes to present to his clinic for physical exams or immunizations, the waiting room would be a din of deafening noise! Could not hear yourself speak for the staff calling in each student upon their turn…that twas the case for the girls’ day of physicals! 😲😆🙉For boys’ day, waiting room was just as packed/crowded…& quiet as an empty church 🙊🚫🗣️. Yep, I can attest to that was the gospel truth then. 😆🤭😆

[@bernardfelix4059]

Luxurious view and great house for a modest rental price. In the US for 1 bedroom rental property in Phoenix AZ is already $1500 in a lousy neighborhood. You're living like a millionaire.

[@georgia-zw9fq]

Sometimes people don't like to call out or push back when they see something wrong going on for fear of back lash or retaliation instead of seeing it as standing up for what's right.

[@MG77740]

They are a great couple. There’s something about the way the women dress. Like his wife. Nobody dresses like this in the west. It’s just simple and cute. They all have the elegance.

Beautiful home 🏠 lovely views. Filipina watching from Tamworth, Australia. Makes me wanna live there again 😊

[@ricksarazin1379]

People blabbing their mouth about cheap living are the reason why other expats and foreigners are overcharged so frequently. Not every foreigner has money to afford these things in the Philippines, I think that expats need to be more humble in public, it's okay to have things, but remember how much poverty exists in this country.

[@TapsieTechKid]

That part!!!!

[@fenderbend3r]

Totally agree that not all expats can afford everything in Philippines. especially when other expats say, "oh wow, that's cheap!" Putting other expats on the edge.

If you wanna flaunt your stuff ...go ahead. Someone will find you out. All of Phillipines is beautiful. I don't like Westerners bringing all their wealth and taking advantage of Phillipines. Unless they're significantly making a difference in the community.
