I've been living in the Philippines starting 1983, after I retired from the USAF. I don't miss anything in or about America! As long as my benefits keep coming, I'm staying where I am! I'm happy here.

[@2369drew]

i feel u bro, why make life more harder than u need to? just be practical. In the PI u will make the most of you life with each day counting for something because you are treated more as a human being and thats because in general people there tend to be more respecful, friendly, and open and thats not a dig to other countries. This is the pros of the philippines. There are cons, thats mainly financial but if you have that covered somehow tru a business, or benefits then practically your in a win win situation. You have money and friends, thats goes a loong way and thats hard to beat.

[@1lolofred]

You did the right thing...keep safe and healthy.

[@RonsWorld5]

I agree with you 💯. I lived and worked in the Philippines for many years. As a Black man, I was most happiest living overseas because I was better received and accepted. Like a heavy weight no longer on my shoulders with regards abject racism, racial profiling, and many problems inherent being Black in America. It’s just different being overseas. I was accepted for being a person, not a skin color.mI just didn’t feel those things in the PI, Thailand, Panama, Honduras, Ecuador, Greece, Sri Lanka, Iceland, Morocco, Mongolia, and in most of the countries I lived in or visited in Africa. Like you, I love my country, however I am not happy that it is slow or unwilling to change. I am a Veteran of 20 years USAF and was stationed at Clark AB towards the end of the Vietnam War. I had since returned to the PI - as a part of my government job - and taught electronics at Poro Point, San Fernando City, La Union and Tinang, Concepcion Tarlac. You have a beautiful family.

[@demanskytubaholdingsco3277]

I've been there. It's like black men from the U.S. who have been to the Phillipines share a certain kinship, because we know how pleasant the experience is. It's hard to describe in words how good it feels not to feel the unrelenting pressures of racism. I married a woman from the Phillipines and oh my God. They are awesome companions.

Greece and Iceland are countries mostly white populated. You never experienced any racism from the people there? Where you there while being in the AF? Maybe you were treated a little different because they looked at you as representing the US as a whole a country that is still considered no. 1 . No other countries has 11 or 12 aircraft carriers all active duty. So 20 yrs in the Military got you a 50 per cent retirement but did teaching electronics brought you more income?

[@RonsWorld5]

harsep I was Iceland for a year while in the AF. I did not experience racism. Too cold most of the time to interact with the population. Plus, a curfew was imposed on all Americans there to be inside at 11pm. I was in Greece (Athens, Rhodes, Kavala, and Thassos) when I taught electronics as a part of my government job. I was in those places many times. Greece is more diverse than many think. The Milwaukee Bucks all star player Giannis Antetokounmpo is a Black Greek. His mother, father, and brothers are Greek. He is very popular their and they take pride in him. I have live and visited many countries. I experienced racism more in the United States. Teaching electronics overseas was a part of my government job. It was a 5-year project. When it ended, I became and IT Specialist and a Foreign Service Officer. My military career was in Avionics, Electronics Technical Instructor and Course Development. Between my 20 year military career (which assisted in getting a Federal job with regards my qualifications and the 5-point Veteran preference) and my 22 year Federal career in which I am now retired from, my pension is quite significant. The local high school in my city wanted to hire me to teach electronics and be an assistant Varsity Basketball coach. I declined because I did not retire to start working again. No need to. I am retired. If I were to recommend money making career paths to young people, I would recommend IT (Cisco and Microsoft networks and security) and learning to code in Python and PHP). Also, pursue Foreign Service positions, And, DO NOT work for corporations because they hire and fire on a whim, but to get a Government job. They are more secure, high-paying, have more longevity, and great benefits.

Money is always number one here and it seems into your relationship and end up breaking what you have. Plus the media is corrupting folks too. It's morally corrupt. This country only has money.

They need to.

[@TG-vk5uy]

Ismail Marsh Depending in the business you want to start, probably better to do it in metto areas such as Manila or Cebu where competition is more fair. No dependence on patronage by a politician or even direct competition with a politician’s own business. Best of luck to you!

Bro, I feel you. I'm from Brooklyn and the Philippines is my 2nd home. I know what you're saying and I'm with you.

[@erubs2010]

I can relate man. I'm a dual citizen and my primary residence is in the PI, right now I'm in the US cause I had to lay my father to rest, but I'm excited to go back there Aug 30. My life, my family, my business is there but I'll always visit the US cause of my family and the food lol. Keep up what your doin man much respect.

[@TheBlackFilipino]

Same for me I have to visit because of my fam but other than that I will be here.

[@erubs2010]

@@Thebossfromdc Hello, well my family is in the agriculture business, rice planting and during the pandemic the agriculture business is booming, however other businesses like rental property apartments or commercial property , so if you can own land there and can do agriculture or commercial rental you'll be good, land is cheap there. Short term is sending imported goods there through cargo or balikbayan boxes and selling there or opening a store there, you can sell can goods, electronics, clothing for pretty much double the price. Hope this helps.

[@fblassie]

I will retire in to the Philippines next July. No maybe's, no excuses. I'm there! I love the Phiilippines and it's incredible people. Here in the US right now I feel like a foreigner in my own country. Great video. Great channel. Congratulations!

Been there one time to meet my wife..you are so correct the people are great there and it seems so more relaxed then here..i wish i had some way to get back there and live..You are very lucky man stay there do not come back here i wish i could join you there and feel the same way.

As a native Filipino, we don't give sh*t about your color, race or background. As long as you can get along with us and can respect one another, there we're all cool brothers and sisters 👍 Welcome to the Ph 🇵🇭, your home country as well. 🙋

[@RickyFurlow]

Hollar bro I’m in NY right now but I was born and raised there in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I can totally relate, I’ve also lived in Manila but im staying in the province now where my wife is when I’m there. The province is definitely a more suitable place for people who are looking for a slower chilled pace. I know it’s not perfect there and poverty is very apparent. But I can personally attest that people are much more happier there and they are more appreciative of what they have. The people are so resilient despite of the personal and natural tragedies that does happened more then one would like. The US is the land of opportunity but I do miss just laying down and enjoying looking at the stars ⭐️ at nigh and actually appreciating it. God Bless bro and God speed on your adventures in the Philippines 🇵🇭. MABUHAY PARE 😎

Thanks for the love.

[@byron8696]

I saw some comments talking about money. Maybe you guys should do your research before bashing the Philippines. I think I am well off more than 95% of you and I never ever considered myself more than a local. Even stayed with my good friend as a squatter for 1 month. Loved it.. What you don't get is the hospitality in the 30 countries I been to like the Philippines. Most of you only think of flashing money for sex with the local beautiful women or the bakla. Just so you will know if you have sex with a separated woman you will go to prison. So beware and enjoy what the Philippines has to offer.

[@TheBlackFilipino]

Yes. I don't think anyone should just travel for the cheap sex you can find here.

[@Kwanglebeh]

@@TheBlackFilipino It's not just about cheap sex, the law prohibits divorce, it is possible to have a marriage cancelled by a process called annulment which is very expensive and most Filipinos can't afford. So even if your Fil GF has been separated (still lawfully married) if her ex wants to bring some shit down on you, you're looking at jail time. Be careful with separated Filipinas, even a family member or work jealous work colleague could have you charged with adultery..... yes it's a crime in the Fils.

[@toddsellars4694]

It's about having money - no matter where you are. Money to live well, with less stress, and travel. Every country favors richer people. If you make $60,000 a year in the US you are struggling. $60,000 a year in the Philippines you are not struggling.

[@55mikeburns]

I came back to the US in June, 2020. But then the virus hysteria got worse and they closed PH to all foreigners. Now I keep hoping that they allow me back in. I'd be back there too if I could. It's good that you're there.

This is just one example of the many Karen's calling 911 to report a colored person or people of color. I will be retiring next year 2021 & I am preparing to move to the Philippines for good.
