WHY ARE YOU HERE? / (Reasons Why Foreigners Come to The Philippines)

#ReasonsWhyForeignersComeToThePhilippines ‪@TheFilipinaPea‬
There seems to be two opposing camps when it comes to the image of the expat - brave adventurers trying to find a better life for their retirement, or lecherous, dirty old men with one thing on their minds? So what's the truth? When a man relocates to another country to seek female companionship, does that make him a sexpat? Why did YOU come to the Philippines?

[@ramaslambert7200]

The truth is western women seem to think men come dime a dozen. Morally it is starting to break down because of tv and movie stars. Most think the movie life is real life. Men here don't work 20 plus years to see their mates leave with kids and move 6 states away. Also they don't want to pay alimony and palimony for someone that says they are not compatible anymore because their friends are either richer or have the rock star boyfriend or husband. Women here don't cook and clean anymore. Watching Oprah or Dr. Phil is their way of life. Men don't go to the Philippines for sex. They go because Filipino women are not looking for the richest guy or the rock star status. American women might think Filipino women are just taking advantage but y'all have a moral code, open to us making the choice, and are sexy. Yes if I was to come there it would take awhile to adjust to the scenery (half naked women) but I know at the end of the day once I won someone's heart she would be more likely to be with me the next day. In the U.S. there are just too many options for a woman to get out of a relationship and take half of what men work for plus the money and kids. If the guy is older he more than likely isn't sexting and sowing his oaths. He is truly looking for a woman that will love him till his last breath. I can call American women spoiled as well but there are some that are good also but when diamonds are a girls best friend you might want to sift through the pile a little more. So am I yucky because I want a relationship with a woman? No most men simply put are older because most the same age as me are already taken. It's like when I was 18. No older women wants a younger man and you are too old to date younger girls. You're stuck in a age gap. In the Philippines there are no age gaps except in those illegal persons dating young girls below the legal limit. Why would I want to date a Filipino woman? If anything it would mean a loving relationship that no one wants out of. Thanks Pea!!!

May I suggest doing a video on the opposite side of the equation? - All the Filipinos who move overseas for better opportunities. There are a number of articles on Filipino overseas workers at nationalgeographic.com including "Why 10 million Filipinos endure hardship abroad as overseas workers" from December, 2018. Do you know any Filipinos who moved overseas?

[@drewvaughn628]

Pea, thanks for your content, could you and your lawyer buddy do one on Foreigner protection or self-defense? What can we do or not do and the legal Consequences of our actions? I know we can’t carry a firearm, but what about a knife or mace or even a big stick? Will the foreigner always be the guilty party in a fight even if we were only protecting ourself or our property? Also, if we are in a wreck while driving a car or motorcycle, with or without a Philippines driver’s license and with or without Philippines drivers insurance, will we always be the guilty party? Same for personal liability insurance for our condo, house, hotel, or Airbnb, whether we own it or renting it, do we need it or would it even help? So what can we do to protect ourself and property, what can we do to protect ourself from liability claims against us, if someone gets hurt while at your place or in your company? There could be many aspects of this subject to explore and new content for you. Thanks

After two failed marriages to Americans, a Filipina friend in the US suggested I look into finding a Filipina. A few years later, I found an awesome, educated girl who accepted me for who I am and matches my weirdness. We've been together 11 years now and by moving to the Philippines and working online, I paid off almost all my debts, saved enough cash to Travel consistently with my wife, and got rid of 90% of my stress.

Spot on again! After my life was burned down more than once in the US by women that think a relationship is all about them, I remembered what I had heard years ago about Filipinas being devoted, affectionate, traditional, compassionate, and will fight fiercely to protect a relationship and keep it interesting once you have worked to gain her trust! Not to mention the fact that if you have your ducks in a row, and treat her with love and kindness, she will make you feel that the relationship is all about you. If I had just looked there years ago, I would have found that woman then, but as it so happens, I have found her now, and I'm the happiest I've ever been! So, for a guy that is sincere, respectful, gentle, wants to take the time to show a Filipina that you only have eyes for her to gain her trust (which isn't easy, but if you have a true heart you will persevere) and that you will take care of her, she will take care of you beyond your wildest dreams! 😉♥️

[@thegalavantingbachelor7786]

Confession: I am guilty of going to the Philippines to mainly have fun but after meeting many wonderful nice ladies in the Philippines the attitude has changed and am now receptive to getting involved in a monogamous relationship. The bottom line is if you are surrounded by good positive people those characteristics become contagious.

[@ericrollings]

Dating in the US is discouraging. Communicating with warm, kind, beautiful Filipinas has restored my hope in giving and receiving love. I will soon visit the Philippines. I look forward to learning more about the culture of a country that produces such beautiful women. Beautiful inside and out.

I love your channel Pea. I recently went back to college to further my tech career, software application development degree. Being an older college student has its challenges in itself. One of my professors mentioned that he teaches online from central America. I mentioned that I wanted to work remotely or for a company in the Philippines. My fellow classmates brought on the hate very quickly for all the reasons you mentioned. Yet, when you mention trying to start over in a beautiful country full of good people with the same traditional values that I have. My words fell on deaf ears. I cannot wait till the day that I can call the Philippines my home.

Ah Pea you are absolutely right! I have an adult married daughter and a single son in Australia. The cost of houses in Australia is so expensive that they can't afford a house of their own, so they live together in the house I own there. They have their own lives, and are supportive of my marriage to my Filipina wife and my move to the Philippines. If I stayed in Australia, I would have needed to work until nearly the age of 70, and would have struggled on the aged pension then because of the cost of living. Living in Mindanao is like turning over a new leaf for me. Like you said, a new life, a new family, and a second chance at a relationship which is based on mutual love, and not sex. My wife is 56. I've had people say to me "Why didn't you look for a younger woman?". I tell them i was personally introduced to my wife and I could trust her and her family. I say I came here for love, which is the truth. My wife tells me to stay home and relax, because I worked hard all my life. She continues to work hard at her business. It astounded me that she would always give me a pedicure and manicure, and a haircut. I was married for 31 years to my late wife in Australia, and she never did any of those things. I could have become a sad old man, which is what happened to my dad after my mum died, but instead I am a new man. Ang isang hari sa aking munting kastilyo! Ah yes, and I have had the pleasure of learning Tagalog and Mindanao Cebuano, plus a little Chavacano and some of my wife's tribal language, Higaonon Binukid. Then there's the karaoke at home, and the Red Horse beer, both of which I regularly enjoy with my family here!

Indeed Pea, you and I know the truth. Once again you are giving a sensible, genuine and constructive description of human life. You are a crusader and an asset to your beautiful country. Thank you Pea 😊 May I say that you are always a dear friend and that I miss you 😘

[@TheFilipinaPea]

I am a crusader, in a way, yes. And I’m happy to be on your side 👍😊

[@guyandre4946]

@@TheFilipinaPea Dear Pea, only a crusader could be gifted with the ability to go under the skin of others, body swapping, to express so correctly the real gut feelings of so many. It is definitely a new reality, a new clean slate, grabbing with both hands the opportunity to rebuild a new real life from the ground up, and this just before it could stop at what could have been the point of no return. Eyesight does improve with age, lessons have been learned, at long last, from past mistakes due to foolishness and the naivety of youth! In time to build up a sincere, meaningful and permanent new relationship, a second chance of happiness, with a feminine caring respectful and respected Filipina, herself equally happy to have found a faithful and dedicated responsible companion, a partner, a husband. And, for that, age is not a problem but an expression of maturity for ,and from, both parties. Thank you Pea for saying loudly what so many are thinking. 😊

[@bryansletten7471]

I think you hit the nail on the head I am a single western man that has found love in the Philippines there is a large age gap between us but it doesn’t matter we discuss this subject every so often and I’m always told age is only in my mind I possess life skills that can’t be had in younger men.I’m not poor nor am I ugly I found an opportunity to start my life over I want to have a family and a wife to care for to give me meaning once again to make a difference yes everything you said is true in my eyes thank you for being an honest person that you are. I think what would be a good subject for a video would be the process to merry a Philippines woman traditions that need to be considered and the hurdles of getting married in the Philippines thanks Pea

Spot on as always young Pea. The Philippines nature is great, waterfalls, beautiful sand beaches, mountains the lot. The difference between The Philippines, and many other destinations though, is the people, or more specifically the women. Most guys who go there, have heard about how different the girls are to Western women. After experiencing women from their own country, it is only the better attitude, more gratitude and beauty of the Filipinas, that makes a Westerner, prepared to risk having another relationship. The Philippines, has saved many older guys from spending the rest of their lives alone. Hallelujah 😊

You have us all FILIPINA DREAMING Pea 🙂 but u and I both know it’s just the good hearted nature of the Filipino in general that lures me to your home lands.....sirens u be the lot of you....and your song makes me happy inside and that’s love and that’s ALL I’m looking for....💔

Well done Pea you have nailed it again. I have been divorced for over two years and have been dateing in my country for the last 12 months and my experience has been tragic to the point where I don't even bother any longer, but it has taught me to love and respect myself and enjoy my own company, and I will be flying to Cebu as soon as the border opens. Keep up the good work we love you.

[@patlilburn5251]

What a lovely, sympathetic episode! I’m probably not ever going to the Philippines, and my endgame is just as you suggested it might be, but if I were ever to go it would be for exactly the reason you suggest: a new, maybe final, chance at happiness, companionship, love. You’re very right about 25 yr old me and 64 yr old me’s vision, too. Finally, did I ever laugh at the “...finally dug a tunnel out of the plantation” remark! Excellent job, again.

It's true, I know several guys like you over there now. Probably the best idea. Every time I went over there it ended up in a complete nightmare. especially last time, I got stuck in Mindanao because all my flights kept getting cancelled due to the Taal volcano eruption in Manila. however, if I had stuck around a little longer I would have caught the pandemic. Then I would be walking around now with a sign saying "will act like I'm working for food".

Didnt think David Bond would watch Pea’s videos 😂

[@helmutspanker]

David Bond is a very smart guy, he get's all sorts of abuse but he turns that to his advantage, and ultimately a decent living online. I actually think him and Pea are pushing a similar message, but from different perspectives. The people that write bad comments are often creating a narrative to make themselves feel better about their own more conventional and somewhat more restrictive life. If you have limited ties to your country of birth, journeying to far away lands to start a new life is one of the best things you can do!

great insight!

[@elephantinrm]

I can’t speak on behalf of anyone but myself, the only way I see the point of going to the PI would be to have a clean slate. In our life time we become several people. People that you are with will go through that same experience. However our timing may be off. I find it hard to look in the rear view mirror. We’ve all met or been with someone that wasn’t ready for our changes let alone their own. Sometimes a change of a partner just isn’t enough. You need a change of scenery. A place where who you have become is welcomed with no preconceived notions. Even as a kid many of us loved Halloween, we could be whoever we wanted to be. There was something free about those times. For some us that have gotten a little older, when we’re around people that know us they see our age. When we meet someone for the first thing all they see is you. I truly believe there are only a few people in this world that are perfect for us. The ones that can make us feel in the moment even through our changes. To everyone of you that has the courage to search the world for that special someone I admire you. My favorite song is Van Morrison, Someone like you. Every word strikes a cord in me.

Not a sexPat per-say. Truly, men would like to be attached to an angel that loves him for the content of his character. We would do anything to be loved and respected. We, western guys of the 50s and 60s, have desirable skills to include daddy duty for fatherless kids.
