Last time I was in the Philippines 🇵🇭 I was partying with my Filipina Wife’s family and had a little too much fun… 10 days in to our vacation I woke up with gout in my right knee…man, my brother n law came to my Hotel Tavern in Surigao and the whole family ran to my aid making sure I had ice for my knee and my gout medicine.. they were really thoughtful. I stayed in my hotel for a few hours drinking water and eating my gout meds… I was miraculously back in action in just 1/2 a day of rest and was right back on the dance floor… but it impressed me that my wife’s family were so caring and concerned about me. Great people!

[@Offon_A_Boondoggle]

I have a pact with my sons that the woman I end up with will be older than them after the 34 age gap relationship I had dissolved. So, I am looking at 40+ so I am glad to hear you say the older women haven’t abandoned their Filipina ways. 🙏🏻

[@lazylarrylee2421]

Mike, when I move to the Philippines, finding a place to live is my top priority. I want somewhere near good hospitals and beautiful scenery. I will worry about finding a good woman later, hopefully one who is older.

[@dpanman]

I'm not an "older" man per say, but I'm an OG.. When I arrived in Manila last year, on day two I started feeling ill with the flu. I was down for about four days. During that time, I KNEW this woman was going to be my wife. From being my personal nurse and chef to arguing with the lady in the pharmacy over the correct medication. My introduction to life with a Filipina, though ill, was very enlightening. Best choice I ever made..

Agree on all points! 👍 I came for the woman, and fell in love with the Philippines! 🇺🇸✈️🇵🇭🌴❤️ Sure, there are some inconveniences, most just temporary, and when I decided I couldn’t deal with the overabundance of population in Metro Manila, I started looking at less populated areas. Of course, breaking the apron strings my Wife was holding onto, was a bit difficult, we eventually reached a compromise on where to move. July/August time we’ll move. I’m watching while packing Balikbayan boxes in the U.S., during my liquidation, so I can permanently move back HOME! 🇺🇸✈️🇵🇭🌴

For day-to-day living you would be surprised at how much English you will hear in Thailand. Certainly in the hospitals but also in retail and markets and restaurant menus. Conversation though - that is where the language barrier kicks in. You can definitely find Thais that speak English. I don’t know of any westerner/Thai couples where the Thai woman doesn’t speak English but this is still a country that speaks a foreign language.

Comparing U.S health care with Philippines no comparison often when the big one hit they go U.S or leave Philippines for care . I did not marry a filipina half my age for a caregiver nor should some lonely old man unless that what he looking for . Most important happy wife happy life. Cheaper health care is not a good reason to move Philippines or poor health with good health insurance back home. Philippines is not what old lonely men are lead to believe it about the money with a Filipina if your happy with that ok. Social security a lot of money to her a lot and a house no matter what she tell you..Many thing will stress you philippines if you let it like the states it a mind set. A 30 yr western girl may have good income why would she be with a 70 yr old man on social security . In philippines a social security check or Military pension all they require

[@sledgehammer2024]

James is right-on-the-money. The average American doctor seems to be more focused on covering their butt, milking insurance, writing prescriptions to treat symptoms, and using scare tactics to address the real problem. I had one doctor repeatedly look at the clock on the wall while he was talking to me. Doctors often misdiagnose the source of the problem because of biases towards what they know, or what facilities they have available or their employer has to paid for . There are great American doctors and they go into practices where there is a clear medical issue that needs to be treated. Unfortunately, the profit--before-care approach seems to have become systemic in America. The only incentive for caring is caring and that has diminished because you cannot fix a person in fifteen minutes. Single-payer systems where everybody pays in, minimize profit incentives, but do not fix the problem either. Is "Medical Socialism" a term? My opinion is that medical care in the Philippines is probably just starting. Caring is still caring more about others than yourself. Learning about better care is still valued. Hopefully, the Philippines will beat the system.

From a highly educated and trained anesthesiologist, the healthcare in Philippines isn’t up to par with rest of country. After surgery, complications can become a reality. If need major procedures, book a flight and go to Bumrungrad in Bangkok, Thailand; this is a well recognized international hospital. Btw, do t listen to World Zoom wasn’t involved in direct patient care. Dental care… my U.S. dentist said treats lots of abscesses from PI dental care which can become deadly if left untreated. Dentist says it’s due to their sterilization processing on instruments; it’s not being correctly being done.

Using the Philippines flag on your videos is against the law in the Philippines its 12 months in jail, or 50,000 peso fine or both and will also get you black listed and deported.

really. Can you show me the law that you found this info

[@mikesphilippineretirement]

There are no prohibitions against showing the Philippine flag in videos or photos as long as it is displayed properly. Proper display means that the flag should not be worn as part of a costume or uniform, should not be draped over vehicles, or used in a manner that could be construed as disrespectful. It's also important to ensure that the flag is displayed in the correct orientation, with the blue field on top in times of peace.

@@mikesphilippineretirement The flag cannot be touched by foreigners or to use or display or be part of any advertisement or infomercial. Also you are using it on a youtube channel which is earning you money, so they class that as a business, and you cannot use it as a tool to get extra business. Also is your youtube channel registered with the BIR? This is also a legal requirement.
