Beware: Scams and Safety Tips for Traveling in the Philippines 

Thanks for touching on the various scams out there. I hope no repercussions come to you and Ai for this exposure. You know how people can be.

Great video injoy watching it and thanks for the info on Philippines. 😊👍📹

Great advice ! Not just for the Phillipines . Great to catch you both live ! Hugs from Europe 😘

Hey Guys great tips and fun video as usual!

I missed the livestream, but this is all very helpful thank you

Love this kind of Video as it is just like sitting down with you as I have Always enjoyed our conversations. Derek is a Great Guy and Very Helpful to Expats as His Motorcycles are the BEST Quality and He is one of the Reasons my Trips to the Philippine's went so smooth and actually led to me Living Here now. The ride to his place from the airport is so close ($300-400 peso cab ride). LMOA about the Rat as I actually was riding my ADV and had to dodge a Cat sized Rat crossing the road by SM Mall and I was Laughing so much for about 5-10 minutes as i guess it was better then a poor stray dog. Ai is Derek's Sweet better half.. Keep rolling Bro and I Look forward to "Inspire" being ready for Island hopping. Guys should reach out and Rent his Bikes.

I really like the new intro ! I never bring underwear or socks to hot to wear either one for me same with pants don't bring them either .

When we went on the pump boat June 30, the sun block provided worked perfectly. Despite swimming half a dozen times I didn,t get any color at all.

Sad stories about heart weak or ♋ Cancer or father in jail or hospital i do hear them daily on Facebook to every Filipino girls and boys i try to chat with on Facebook. I used to help them last year,but i learn that it's the way they make money. But here in Zambia 🇿🇲 taxi is expensive and bike's are cheap like half a dollar.

Been in Cebu and Inayawan 5 months now over a hundred trike and taxi rides I can count bad issues on 1 hand so small % are scammers and I've learned if I load a taxi with me and family for a one way trip over an hour He's gonna get a good tip

Hello Derek, I have been to the Philippines 3 times in the last two years. The latest Scam I was involved in was a Guy at the ticket place in Dumaguete helping people to get their tickets for the Ferry. He didn't even work for the boat lines. This was just his hustle to get tips from the Dumb Foreigners (ME). Actually, the boat lines should put a stop to this happening at their business. Other than that, It was a GREAT trip. Take care.

So True! Thanks guys.

Nice video

Hello great to see both of you. I'm a fan from Jersey. You guys are both great 👍 thank you for all your charity work. What's the favorite place you ever visited so far in the Philippines. Don't say Jollibee😅😅😅

Hi Derek and Ai

Rats missing a tail, that's a new one!

Been there several times, the motorcycle rids are the ones, want to mush money. Cabs works well. Keep to the meters. And not the price.

HI 👋 PRINCESS AI & BUDHA D. Unfortunately scams are an ongoing problem around the world 🌎. You don’t livestream anymore? TY🙏. Blessings 🙏🌸🌺🌼

👍

Would loved to see you visiting LJ and George place

Good tips, im thinking of taking a week vacation there. Im still looking into it.. of where to go or which city Manila or Cebu.

Just curious. Was that a gecko crawling around on the wall of the kitchen? 😁😁

It is pretty well the same in every country except the name of the storm changes! lol Is your son coming for a visit, Derek?

Surely a budget was set for the boat build ?.

BOLT app was helpful in Thailand in late 22 / mid 23. Does it work in Ph too?
