100% true at what Chad said, know what you want in a relationship and stick to your guts.I am married to a Canadian guy for 15 years and going strong. I told my family that marrying a white guy doesn't mean he is rich so they don't ask financial support from us. It's up to the pinay wife to put a reign on her family.
It's cheaper to rent than own. Many play the long game. Sincerity is the key. Once you can fake it, the rest is easy. Chad has class. I'm glad you two met. Monty, show him the ropes.
Hello, Monty, new to your video. I have q question. If your wife's family live in the same house. Who pays for the food. Does her family contribute in anything.
My Fiancée (Wife in January) has never asked for money, and has offered to take a higher paying job, so we can build our savings better. She’s more frugal with money than I am. 😂🤣 Now Chad had connected with all of the bigger creators! Glad to see you’re feeling better, Monty! 👍
Thank you Jerry unfortunately I made this video before my latest stay in the hospital. I’m very happy that you found a good lady. I wish you both many many years of happiness together
@@crewfamilyphilippines we’re planning a February trip from Luzon to Dumaguete. We’d hoped to meet Mike and Paul while there. If you’re feeling better by then, maybe we could see you, as well? Get better, Sir. You’re one of the mainstays of the Negros crowd!
You guys got to the core of the issues on quite a few important points and gave actionable advice. Good interview Monty.... always good to see The Chad. Peace and Love, B Goat
I just Subscribed to your YT Channel. Happy for you & your family, & your story is very inspirational. Most older ppl I talk to already give up on hope, but you found meaningful things in life & shared with a great woman and child.
Hi Monty, Interesting video. Someone commentated that the filipina women are all Christians. He got it wrong. They are Catholics. Big difference and are like the Catholics of the 1960s here where I grew up being a Catholic going to the schools with priest in the family. So like any Catholic they don't throw the faith down you throat like good Chtistians here. The poverty is real there so the only way out for them is to marry or have someone that has a little money. For myself it was a place that has plenty of westernized young women that is like back in my high school or college days. I get a big kick out of the guys that get hooked up with the drama girls there. You really can be picky and choosy in the Philippines. It doesn't take much to choose a drama queen or a regular girl that wants to have family and is loyal without drama. Monty seems to be like myself. Handling the life events that comes along with a drama free wife who is also trying to understand how it works. So I give up a high five Monty. As most videos are not posted about facts.
Hi Fred, maybe we look at things the same way because we both grew up in Texas. I’m not Catholic and neither is my wife Aragel but we don’t try to push our beliefs on anyone. All of Aragel’s family are Catholics. I think drama queens are in every country and I always try to avoid them along with the negative people as well. Thank you for your kind words and your insightfulness 😊
Hi Monty, Like most of my family here and friends I grew up with none I know are practicing Catholics anymore. Just so you know that. But my wife still likes to go light the candles on occasions and she wanted my son Baptized. Over in the Philippines they still use the baptismal certificate as a form of ID. That is the government so came in handy.
@@fredfromtexas2764 Yes you are correct they use it for ID as well. We go to a lot of Catholic baptisms here.. we are just plain old Christians. We had our daughter dedicated to the church. Even with that Paul McGill and my friend Dave are both Godfathers for our daughter 😊 I just go with the flow brother
Yes best to go with the flow over there as the Catholic faith is not as hard core as most Christian faith especially here in Texas. And the Philippines still embrace the Catholic Church for official paperwork. Come to think of it when I got my first official driver's license in Toledo Ohio USA you could use your baptismal certificate instead of your birth for ID back in the day. My boy was Baptized but without God parents just a lot of volunteers with us at the church.
Are the laws different in the Philippines vs other nations? The primary fault in logic people like you make is that you assume that every one in the world lives under the same laws as you do. The laws written by the Americans in 1930, by the Spanish since 1560, and the power that the Bishop of Rome still has in the Philippines makes her different indeed. If one looks for the Christian Filipina who is devoted to the Christian way one will find that she can and does live well within the laws I listed above that restrict people's behavior in the Philippines. We as humans can do anything but since we are mortal we do not have the time to do all things. That is what any Filipina will tell you.
@@CasaAntonenasSanctuary let me make state the case longer. I know the laws of the Philippines. I can read the standard Tagalog. I have run and biked 5000 miles this year. Any money I might spend in the Philippines is not a problem since my cost of living in Mexico is lower than what most expats in the Philippines say they are spending each month. But I can quickly go to the US to work and buy American products thus taking advantage of the US economics of scale. But if you are planning on going over 6000 miles away to an island that is easy to get on to but hard as hell to get off during a Bagio, a presidential drug war, and rebellions of Muslim autonomous regions. You might want to read a rude crude long form debate. But if on the other hand you have a short attention span you travel 6000 miles away in hopes of getting a piece of ass and continue to not understand that the ass who is in harms way is you! Now let me read your cute little one line idiotic trope.
Hello Monty and Chad, i've been a long time viewer. Just wanted to say that all videos about dating or relationship is making me wonder why do I keep watching? I clitched hoping to see on the family. Back in tje beginning of youtube, people wanted to document their lives. What about a day out with family? Problems and how you handled it. And so forth. Nothing against Chad. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching Gary, Aragel and I will work on that. With Faith in school and me just having another heart attack and just getting out of the hospital I have been posting videos that I had made before this happened.
I only gave my wife "money" to fly out to our honeymoon to where I had to be to catch a plane for my trip back home after spending time on her island. Now, I just give my wife money to support her back home AND for special occasions like Christmas coming up.
I’m living in Panama and I did visit the Philippines in 2008. The difference between the countries? In Panama a clearly more “Gold digger ladies”. Why I think so? They tell it into your face. 😮 How? “If you like to have my company on your side, you have to pay for…” Seriously? I’m sure there are not a lot of men who like that kind of women. I had someone else asking me right away if I could pay the international school of her 2 kids. I never dated this woman and she wasn’t a close friend either. But she asked for her kids around $1,000 monthly from me. That’s ridiculous. I didn’t experienced that in the Philippines. Well I was only 4 weeks there. In Panama a lot of young women flirting with me here in Panama. After the depressing life in Canada, I felt like “Brad Pitt” kinda. But I figured that they actually were looking at my wallet….. Another difference here in Panama? Single women at 40 don’t think that they are any good for a man. Why? Most Panamanian men looking for 18-25 years old girls. Most married men have at least 1 mistress on the side. In the beginning I was in a dilemma. I didn’t like a 18 year old girlfriend. I raised 5 kids in my life, for weren’t my kids, and I don’t like to raise another one. The 35+ women had a mental problem, because their husbands left for a younger woman. And you have the beauty industry beating the last cent out of women. Boob, but jobs done. Maybe not. So they looking for a Gringo who would pay for it. If this is done, they need dental work that everything is Hollywood like perfect…. No gracias! How did I end up in Panama? I was after my separation in Canada actually really glad to be alone. The pandemic hit the world, and the “panic button” hit Panama. Ladies who didn’t looked at me, did start calling me. “Are you still in Panama? Can we meet?” Honestly? I’m not a guy who sees an opportunity in that - if you know what I mean. And like you guys said: Trust your guts. - 6 months into the pandemic, I was at a supermarket. We were allowed 2 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays for shopping in the lockdown. Just paid a crying man’s medicine at the store’s pharmacy and did put my groceries into the car. Opened my driver door and looked at a crying woman. I know. That’s me. With my bad Spanish I asked what was wrong. Well. She got kicked out of her apartment because she was not working. No food, no money. I honestly couldn’t walk away. So I offered one of my rooms to her. And I can feed a second person with my pension….. She is the same age as me. And she always remembers that I picked her up when she needed help. And yes. I had many guys come over and telling me in restaurants: “You know. You could easily have 2 or 3 younger hot girls instead of her. Didn’t you know that?” But again. Younger ladies can have my son’s phone number…. And my lady always is telling me: “Don’t tell anyone that you did find me in the streets…..” The money question? She asks one’s in a blue moon for money to send to her son or mother. I honestly tell her if I can do it at the time or not. If I can’t (because I need to buy materials for my house I am building) - I tell her to wait until I get paid. She has no problem with that. And not a lot of guys want a woman older than 55 in Latin America. She knows that absolutely. Update: I forgot one important thing about having a local girlfriend. You guys know that too. But I like to mention that. - If a foreigner is looking to rent a place - you get ripped off. Send your girlfriend to get a local price on the rent. I have many foreigners as friends in Panama and all of them pay 3-6 times for rent that I do. Fish market, or produce sale on the street? Your girlfriend gets the better price!
I agree with you. My ex wife is from Honduras. She is absolutely nuts. I spent a lot of time over there. One positive in Panama medical is free. I'm glad that you found a good lady 💛
I think your story has a lot of truth to it. I've seen it on TV reality shows, it's always the women from that part of the country who are looking for a sugar daddy. I would trust Philippinos much more than Panamaian.
So true not all Filipino are the same 💯 even my island women some women LIKE your wife Sir Monty and a lot of women is not LIKE your beautiful 💯 you BLESSED with a amazing and true LOVE ❤💙 Thank you for sharing your life and love to us. God bless you more and more 🙏🙂
I suggest making a list, these would be must have, nice to have and not interested. Don't send money. Once you find that person, go meet in person in a perhaps 3 months.
Seems like the Young guys are like a butterfly in a garden. I think it's not age, but maturity the girls are looking at. Mature guys look at a girl's soul and not their age. A mature guy, looking for a traditional wife, will be a stable provider. Forget your age, live your life. Find a good girl and grow Old together.
Some good advice there.Fortunately I have managed to detect and delete the scammers and have a good gf who never wants money from me. May I offer some small advice about your sound. Try not to tap or slap on the table or isolate your microphone by putting it on something thats not attached to the table.😊
What would be more attractive is the visa restrictions its to much Hassle for phlippines to be a number one tourist destination it really needs to relex some of its immigration laws for tourists and expats so it can be smooth sailing when flying into the phlippines and leaving phlippines has one the most beautiful ladies on world aslo one most top beautiful islands in the world aslo with it people so I hope they do that mouty I hope you can get a immigration specialist on your show one of these days great vedio as usual happy see you up and about hardly see your wife hope all is well sir you and your family happy holidays
Thank you for your insight, Aragel has been so busy. Our daughter Faith has started school and Aragel is very involved with that. She goes to her school every day and stays until Faith gets out of school. Aragel is the president of the PTA and she has also been working with a few friends to provide a Christmas for some of the students and some of the children in the church. Hopefully after December finishes up we can get together and do a few videos 😊
Andrew I was stuck in the US for 2-1/2, years because of Covid. Plus the rest is a long story. You would understand why if you would have watched our videos from the beginning 😊
The reason trust is an issue with Filipina when it comes to younger men is because implicity promise to marry is a predatory tactic promoted on other Expat Vlogers channels. Implicit promise to marry is promoted by saying you have to find a Filipina you can trust so #$&_# as many as you can and you will find her. Does that sound logical in a one and done country? I will not say what one and done means since Expats act like they are not subject to one and done.
