6000 Peso's Per Month Budget Filipino home Could you Live On That Philippines 2 of 2 

We, in the first world country, have taken so much for granted. These people have little but seem very happy. Amazing!

Wow, many Americans and British be complaining a lot. Seeing true life like that brings back memories of me being in the Philippines in 1991 and the Marshall Islands. I sure enough consider myself truly blessed even with a amputated left leg. Prayers and blessings to her. I hope she finds opportunity without having to be degraded by anyone,, GOD speed.

When Mel plays second fiddle to Annie you know it's going to be a good vlog.

Tell them to put Tilapia fry in that water. The fish are hardy and will eat all the mozzy larvae. Edit: Those red things on that plant (She gave you a clue when she said Calabasa) are Thai Pumpkin chili`s. I grew some last year.

Such humble friendly people. The Filipinos are great and are almost invariably very welcoming. The only unfriendly part in my opinion/experience is South Cotabato. I am in love with The Philippines and it’s wonderful people. One day I will live there.

I grew up poor by American standards, but these people make my upbringing relatively wealthy. But, they seem very happy, and grateful for what they do have, it really makes me respect them.

Lol everyone is after Annie . She is a real beauty. And married

“I told you you can use our fridge Annie” lol 😂😂😂 oldest trick in the book 😂😂😂

I was waiting for part 2. Part 1 and 2 were definitely interesting. We do tend to take a lot of things for granted in the US. Mosquitoes can definitely be a big problem living there.

The banana question; each stock may produce a cluster of bananas once but the new shoots keep coming. A plant as a whole is capable of producing for several years. Once harvested fruit, chop that stalk down to ground level, it won't produce again. chop it up and use as mulch.

Wow Annie is absolutely gorgeous. She could be a model. Watching these kind of videos definitely keeps one humble and appreciative of the small things.

After banana tree bear fruit it cannot bear again. At it's roots there are always new shoots coming up. You dig them up for transplanting or leave all there. They will mature and bear fruit in time.

Put more fish in the water there. They eat the mosquito larva. Also, a little bi of vegetable oil on the water, would stop the mosquitoes from feeding the larva. They can't feed through the oil film. That is what the mosquito is doing when it bites you, getting food for the larva. And only the female mosquito bites.

Wow thats hard living and it can be such a hard life in the Philippines if you're poor, working class poor or you a decent J.O.B. Just Over Broke it ca be a hard life. Thanks for sharing!

I lived in a place like this in cubao .made me depressed.very noisy place so couldn't sleep at night..so well being problems.i had to return to UK.. seperated from my pinoy wife now who doesn't want me back which I understand..I now returned to the Philippines been living here for 6 months.in a subdivision..the philipinos who live like this are used to it from birth so know no difference..Chris I really admire your overcoming spirit and all you do to help make lives around you better .

Thanks Annie for sharing your home and your family

Made me realize how lucky i am to visit and stay in a wonderfull part of the Philippines, and marry a wonderful filipinna wife for last 44 yrs.

BLOODY POVERTY! I ADMIRE THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS SMILE AND ARE HAPPY REGARDLESS. GOD BLESS THEM!

THanks for this views of life in the Ph that most of us visitors never se ! Courageous people !

Good morning fr London, the leaves you thought was rhubarb is a Taro, when you full the bunch of leaves underneath it is taro.

Great video. Lots of foreigners need to realise how most pinoys live before they come to the PI met a US citizen coming to PI first time out of US about 60 years old to meet a young pinay hadnt done any homework on country,culture,language he was going to live with her family about 30km from Legazpi. People leave their brains back in their home countries sometimes.

When I lived in Manila I also got Dengue fever I was in the hospital for 6 days..I was well taken care of. I was friends with and a part of the Rotary club. As well as working with the Local government at that time. All it cost me was a meryenda (Snack)about $us dollars. I bought for the staff. I was Hours away from a blood transfusion. But My blood levels went back to normal... Can you imagine how much that would have cost for me here in the States..now I try to kill every mosquito I see..lol I have been to many places and visited many families in the same living conditions as your video I must tell you SOME OF THE GREATEST HOSPITALITY I HAVE EVER BEEN SHOWN!!! NEVER JUDGE SOMEONE FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!!

Sound quality seems better now Chris also. No cutting out on one side.

Nice friendly people, but so horrible and unbearable poverty is so sad...

It's nice to see real living in the Philippines

if the land owner can't kick you out at the end of the land lease while you are in the house, then what is the incentive for the land lessee to leave at all? I guess that's when they change their status from being a lessee to being a squatter.

God bless Annie and her family. They seem to be grateful to have a roof over their heads.

3:19 Put old coffee in the water, coffee is a natural pesticide, maybe even grow coffee.

It's food for taught , here in the North of Ireland as you know that kind of money wouldn't last you a run to the corner shop, it says a lot about that lady and her husband to make do with what they have, I really hope in the future things will get better for people living like this, I travelled alot of Asia Vietnam Cambodia etc etc, and I seen people living on very little, but this takes it to a whole new level, great video lad

Thank you for sharing to let me know the the real lives of life in some corners of the world. Hope for the lives who live in that area get a better lives in future. 🌹🙏The Buddha pray for them.

thanks or should i say salamat po hope the best for you and i know i couldnt live on that

Hello my Brit friend .. I can see the living conditions are tough there. However its amazing how they still smile and go on with life

My wife has a house that she owns but not the land how she explained to me you need to pay the land tax in your name and that gives you rights. ..Alan

100x better than a Manila slum! My wife's home growing up was a Nipa Hut(think Gilligan's Island). Today, her family lives mostly in hollow block houses, with tin roofs, and tile covered, slab floors! How sad her sister will go to the Middle East! Many OFW's are abused in various ways in Middle Eastern countries, including sexual assaults, long work days without rest days, and no day off! You'd be surprised at just how affordable a hollow block house is to build, btw! Many have half walls of block, and woven upper walls, especially where there's shade...

It's a sad thing to see slums in such places like the Philippines and other countries, but somehow the people manage to survive. I guess because of that, it is easier for those living so much better to forget about them.

Nice Video Bro

The power of Love. ..Cool Video

It looks like her brothers have issues women supporting men I see that a lot thier too usually drugs are involved in these situations..

I remember my ex's family in Mindanao were in a legal battle with their landlord but the details are bit sketchy, either the landowner wanted his land back, the family fell into rent arrears or maybe a combination of both. They had rented the land for 40 years or so building their own house & business but the local economy tanked when the paper mill closed. The court system being what it is in Phils, very slow, the landlord ended up paying them to leave.

I'm sorry but i couldn't live there. I would spend my money trying to help them and would have to live like that due to no money for myself. Sorry but I'm spoiled. Bless all of them.

living in the Philippines is cheap specially outside the city Capital. yes the situation is funny but they will not kick you out ipapabaranggay ka lang ng owner. 🤣🤣 thats the big problem in the province malamok lalo pag tag ulan. take care A Brit in the Philippines regards to all the family.

Annie is a very attractive woman.

They need to get dragonflys over there, they will wipe out most of the population of mosquitos

I have much respect for Philippines

Annie is beautiful :)

I will never complain about my home again. Thx for showing us

Horrible way to live in the slums of philippines. I can't imagine people could live like that.

Great Video Brit. Tea time? Do you still do that!?

Chris,At the 4:12 sequence of this video or vlog,The wild plant that your loving wife Melody showed you is a famous Philippine vegetable and much like a potato plant called "gabi" in our official Philippine language called Tagalog.And our other official language is called the English language that actually came from or originated from your motherland or homeland called Great Britain (And God Save the Queen) or the British Isles (And God Save the Queen) or the United Kingdom (And God Save the Queen).

Its called taro leaves in english

btw katol is a health hazard specially when the smoke is inhaled, better get other alternatives for killing mosquitos guys 😐

Danke für das hochladen sehr interessant

Yes, it's an eye opener. How old in Annie?

Rubber boots Yes wellies from the word wellington

Annie is beutiful

Hello new friend...looking for some neighbour. Stay connect god bless to all people here

That was a question. You tickle me dude lol. Not seen your videos for a while. Hope things are good there

My wife's aunt lives in naga city and when you sit inside the house you look up and where the ceiling meets the wall you can see day light. the thing of it is they are not ashamed of where or how they live.

Chris did you ask why Annie's brother wearing a jacket? The roof of their house is very low im sure its boiling hot their.

Once your money runs out or gets low.. they will though you out .. your only as good as your money

Hi , high risk of dengue fever

11:30 that is for sure a chilli.

Very small pathway

Thanks for the enlightening video. I'm thinking of moving over in a couple years when I retire. I'd like to hook up with some folks who know the ropes, and could save me some mistakes and problems. Would you and your wife be interested in giving some orientation classes to a newbie?

looks like a town in a fallout game

The plant you call Rhubarb is TARO. The stems, leaves and tuber is edible. It's the main diet in Hawaii.

Rhubarb, LOL, Almost pee my self, you been away from Home to long Mate, Looks like Taro.

Chris they live in what we would call a make shift shed or camps we built in UK as kids ,we gathered anything and everything we could and make a camp out of it ,tin sheets cardboard plywood canvas when your that poor you make what you can out of waste and rubbish around you Philippine folk have been living like that since the beginning so it don't faze them one bit ,but big shock to westerners who see it . have a great day oh and hello Melody & Annie

theres lots of very decent beautiful filipinas come out of places or worse like that too :)

Mosquitoe Village

Should smoke the mosquitoes

Ah 25.................yes, I remember it well!

better than tents

6000 Pesos per month be right back

What is a welly?

I think once a banana tre produces fruit you have to cut the tree down Ask your wife I am not sure

Just Rubber Boots in Aussie ,, :-)

This video is super loaded with subjects: UAE is not good for pinays. They make it super easy for pinays to go there to "work". Those muslin men prey on them, and see them as candy. The jobs they get pay so little that pinays often take Muslim money for favors. I think it's by design. She said not good when her brother and her there(alone), and better when his wife is there too, or another woman? I know what that implies. Scary Yeah, that smoke while keeping mosquitos away is bad to inhale. The stagnant water for the dogs. I'm blown away. I would have said introduce bleach in it to kill mosquitoes, but then what would the dogs drink.😞 Bless them

Still don't now the minimum you need fi in Euros to have a simple life togy with a working spouse or a small business

Hello mosquito heaven. Got DEET?

May I speak with Annie.

Its not rhubarb

Annie is cute, how can I contact her?

Kind of shocking to view

Let me know if Annie is after a new husband!! She`s a fine woman.

Most Filipinos live in places like that. I have also lived like that for the past 2 years and half. Visa renewal cost, extra Medical care since I am a Norwegian who can not cope so well without air con, without bed, without refrigerator, cost for our baby boy etc demand a much higher cost for a foreigner like myself. The reason why I suffer like that, is due to the Norwegian Government stealing most of my money to give to my ex wife in Norway. So it is possible to survive on a very low budget here. But the Health issues are very serious in that kind of places. Most of those Filipino people live in a house of their own, or of the family, and do not necessarily pay expensive rent etc. So if you are a local, you might survive on 6K per month given that you have some back up help from family. Poor families also receive some cash for their kids, so it is not as grim as one think. Many Filipinos from the province also have some land, some coconut trees and other kinds of income, but they will not tell you about that! Being a foreigner will always require a much higher budget, obviously. I spend almost 6K per month in average only for Visa related costs...

Phil is anna single

I've taken my life for granted

When the banana is cut down it grows a new tree from its butt

BUY LAND NOW WHILE ITS STILL CHEAP

One of the most disturbing videos ive seen

Whose the women walking with your wife I would like to meet her
