It would be cool for the 100k a RU-vid live pea question section.

comments are being blocked . whats the deal. ?

Hi Pea great videos but next time Gracie is on could you ask her if the land ownership law will ever be repealed as it’s a bit of a pain thanks and keep the videos coming. John

Put her on retainer, but I bet she is the kind of lawyer who Keeps her phone close

If your in the PI and your with an underage girl idc if you become some law enforcement officers mark. Then there is also this part. I believe If you are a US citizen you are also held to US laws so you can be charged with your crimes accordingly here as well.

I heard that you can bribe your way out of jail there for 5K, but not sure if that was just in the past?

@@smiley492 that's not true, you can't be charged for something that was outside of the jurisdiction of a u.s. court. However there are some groups who work there who will put pressure on local authorities to arrest you ect...

@@TheFilipinaPea 90k oh yes yes yes baby 😀

I bought a big house with my girlfriend on 500sqm. It's got a beautiful unobstructed mountain view. And with the $4000 usd I paid I have no problem dedicating it to her and her family when I leave.

What?

Ugggghhh, tell me about it! I got given a $500 littering ticket on a Commiefornia beach, just for leaving my beach towel unattended while I went for a swim! *THAT'S* why I want to spend a couple months in the Philippines, for a workout vacation full of chopping wood and swimming!

There are some hilariously absurd old laws that are still technically in effect in the US. My favorite example is that it's illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket in Kentucky.

@@callmebigpapa well if u live with them long enough you're considered married with no prenup. 😂

If I move to the Philippines, it encourages me to participate in the community knowing there is such effective social cohesion. All good so far.

That is a disaster..! Having to answer to police for merely being in public with your son-in-law is reprehensible..! I would never go to such an oppressive country after knowing that crap like that goes on! No matter how nice the women are.

@@tonyzuco6144 Considering how the police in the USA has a bit of a habbit of stopping people for as little as 'walking outside while it is dark' and questioning them, because it is somehow suspicious to walk instead of drive, I wonder if you'd want to live in the USA... And yes, that happens quite a bit. I encountered this myself during a few minutes walk from a restaurant to my hotel while in Ohio, but it is also very well documented. While annoying for sure, there sadly is quite a bit of history involving European and American males and young local boys in countries in eastern Asia, including the Philipines, so it isn't that strange police thinks that can be suspicious, and they have a much better reason for asking questions than what happens quite a bit in the USA. And yes, there are 'bad apples' among officers, in the USA and everywhere else, I know, all I am doing is giving you a bit of perspective.

@@TheFilipinaPea my wife and I here in bantayan would buy soda for the girls selling shell necklaces . I had already bought a couple dozen of them. So instead we bought drinks to brighten thier day and reward them for their good work ethic . Ages 9 to 12ish . That didn't sit well with the resort waiters . In public . On the beach ..sitting by themselves . Drinking a soda Bad bad bad . Might get accused of something . So no more . Nothing . Just a wave . And a smile . Unfortunately foreigners have done unspeakable things to children AND I suppose some parent might falsy accuse a person to extort money . Personally I witnessed a Pinoy in Bohol steal chocolate from a young girl vender selling peanuts at the beach ...focking low life .

Hope you're supporting her by joining the channel or giving her a thank you. She definitely deserves to be rewarded for her excellent effort. Her pride in her videos production shaws.

first question... got kid/s??? if yes, goodbye... if no... (they have kid they just dont want to scare "joe" off by telling him got kid being raised by mother... first thing... LETS GO TO THE PROVINCE TO VISIT MY FAMILY!!!!!! and EVERYONE comes out with hand out and if dont pay.... its not the good humor man that will be showing up to take "the foreigner" to .... the grey bar motel.

@@bambamjr8377 You can apply to be a citizen in the Philippines once you have lived there for 10 years or more.

@@bambamjr8377 in 25 years... most of us be dead

Same in us

Dime a dozen there 😂

I'm thinking there are likely very few, if any, 25 and older that don't have kids.

The odds of a Filipino being a single mother are much higher if the Filipino is 25 versus 18. Why did you pick 25?

You are not supposed to live in a country not yours indefinitely and enjoy the rights of its citizens. You integrate and become a citizen of that new country or you get out. Not complicated

point 2 is wrong, it is under 18 that it is rape like most other places in the world. Under 25 and you can't get married. point 3 they explained has an exception so you will get questioned by police until they can ascertain that you are babysitting for your girlfriend, they don't take you anywhere.

Yes my friend ❤️ always protect yourself but if you find a good one no worries if you think once not good move on

Hahahahaha Spoken like a true DAD …… (poor girl) 😂

I'm glad I'm not the only dad that thinks that way. Lol

MrSlm, I informed my own daughter at the age of 16 that she can't make me a grandpa before the age of 50, she had her first child 8 days after I turned 50 (she's always pushing the limits) and since I've informed my granddaughters (four of them) that they are not permitted to have relationships, children, or ask me to buy them a car before I'm at least 75, so far I've only got one great grandchild and only purchased two cars for them,,,,,,I really am a push over,,,,darn it.

I agree with this.

I posted a comment about the endemic corruption in the Philippines but I notice that the lovely Filipino Pea has deleted it! Getting near the bone was I? In the UK where I live "ANYONE" from anywhere in the world can buy a property and own the land as long as they have UK documentation! So there's a lot of double standards going on! I also pointed out the the illegal funds that the Marcos family stole 30 years ago ($10,000,000,000!) if you want to know! Has had a devastating effect on the Philippine economy! But, the ever so rotten, corrupt Imelda has been spending her ill gotten gains on greasing the palms of the current administration in an attempt to repair their damaged reputation AND it's working! Two of Imelda's offspring are rumored to be poised to make a play for the high office! What's more sickening is that the current President (Rodrigo Roa Duterte) is a supporter of the Marcos family!!! So, no the Philippines country is rotten to the core! This is why the infrastructure of the country is so poor at the moment! The funds to renovate it years ago were stolen, and it was covered up! By the greasy monkeys who had been bribed by the Marcos family! It is no wonder that the people have to adopt merciless tactics with foreigners to get money to live! Unless you can afford a crack team of security guys I'd give the Island a pass! Just saying......!

Occasionally there is/are some wayward Filipina but not in general . She doesn't personified a true Filipina or a true countryside Filipina . M a also a foreigner an di don't encounter such kind who will squeeze u to kingdom come . Buying gifts , pampering her with good food , new clothings etc is part and parcel of relationship , at least to me . Western cultures or norms May differ but u have to give and take in relationship ..

@@davidaustin4587 , Before you spread something big (fake)news about late Pres. Marcos do your diligent studies first.

Before you get excited, there’s a difference between the law and how it’s applied in practice. I can see a cop shaking you down if you were alone with any 12 y.o , innocent or not

PEA Worked in a Call Center.

The laws in the PI are written in English so a lawyer must be proficient in the language

I met a Filipino woman online. Over the 4 years, we have been talking. I know know she has e adult children and a 13yo girl. She is also still married to the father of the children. However, she has not been with him for over 10 years. Should I be concerned when visiting her?

You need to get out more often. In phil it's used as a tool by Filipinas to enrich their family. And by the court system to enrich judges and attorney's if the couple should want an annulment.

this is the state of marriage today and people would be smart to refrain until pressure is levied to rebalance. crude but real

what a beautiful story. a bit like a highway to heaven with Michael Landon or perhaps the waltons.

What is your idea of traditional marriage, because marriage is different based on what point in human history you're referencing and the geographical location?

You are totally right man! Who gave the Government the right to hold this imaginary power to sanction a couple who loves each other and wants to spend their life together as a married one? The Chatolic Church first hijacked marriage, and even made it a "Sacrament". People of faith especially want to do the correct and moral thing because they fear God. But the Vatican or the Federal government has no right or sanction from holy Scriptures to do so. I once met a Baptist pastor in Cebu, who had come from Manila to conduct a marriage cerenmony between an American man and a Cebuano lady. They wanted to have a real marriage, sanctioned by their families and God. No documents involved, at least not from the Government. This pastor said that when the Catholic religion came to these islands, they hijacked the traditional marriage. When the men of God back in the Old Testament married, they did not ask for a marriage licence from the king. Many of them even had several wifes and concubines. Yet the Bible claim that they were righteous and pious before God. And considering how many of those people in high offices are Freemasons, corrupted and straight forward evil by nature, how would their blessings be something pleasing to God? Me, for instance, followed the rules, but still I got dumped, and ended up as a fincancial slave and lost all contact with my 5 children there, until this day. This situation is the main cause of death by suicide in many countries. Fact is that if you are living as a husband and wife, it can be classified as a Common Law marriage, totally acceptable through history. And most countries in the West will accept you, even without a marriage document, if you can prove you lived together for at least a couple of years. If you have a child together, you basically have the same rights as a couple who got the correct papers - in Western countries. In the province way down South in Mindanao, where my wife comes from, almost nobody there are legally married. The Vatican has a very weak presence there, thankfully. But still everybody consider such a couple as a true family. If you would like to get "legally" married, I agree that you should wait until you have been together for a long time first. Especially in a country like the Philippiines. You could have a traditional wedding, though, ignoring the Political institutions.

Even the dogs and cats walk slow in the PI.

its the Magic Sarap

All things may be slow except the instant relationship and resultant social relations. Talk to a Filipina and pretty soon you have a whole group of people in your life, influencing and making plans and decisions for you. They will start planning your wedding on your behalf unless you buck the process. Beware and be very afraid if you start riding a wave and you didn't know you were surfing.

@@carvercapitalequitypartner122 I LOLed at "Beware and be very afraid if you start riding a wave and you didn't know you were surfing"

I have heard from other sources that this is indeed the way. The red tape that you would have to jump through just to open an account in PI makes me shudder.

@@TheFilipinaPea i wish I had posted that. The friend I would like to call would be one of these two ladies.

@@TheFilipinaPea Absolutely agree with this outlook. If you are about the possessions, you probably should not date anyone, anywhere. Prenups on big things are one thing, but the big screen TV and the coffee maker...come on guys...leave her with something. ...and a few months rent wouldn't hurt either.

I like it!

Where do you live where you are allowed to own land?

@@tfhummer lots of places, UK, USA, CANADA etc.......

@@snidelywhiplash6889 If you are paying rate/council/property tax then you don’t really own it, the moment a person/entity/business can say you haven’t paid these fees that you can’t opt out off so your land/property is being confiscated is the moment you don’t really own that thing. Welcome to reality!

@@wolfengod8277 It's not at any given moment in the USA. There's a process to go through and with property taxes it's usually 5 years before government will take and auction off to get the back taxes. That is different than not ever having your name on land to lose but only "owning" the structure with someone completely different owning the land beneath. I agree that one never really truly "owns" anything as it's always subject to some law or otherwise. So i look at it is you really never "own" it way before it can be taken. If ur lucky you can sell it before someone takes it from you.

There's no place on earth where you own the land you live on. Here in the US if u don't pay your taxes your land will be seized and sold. Regardless of where you live in the world the government can take your land.

Buy food only!!

Luckily rent is cheap.

@@scott80ca Very True

I am always buying load in the Philippines

If your attitude is truly this simplistic it suggests you see a relationship with a Filipina/Filipino as strictly transactional. If that's the case I suggest you restrict your visits to places like Angeles City. After 3 visits to the Philippines, it's not a place I've visited or plan to visit, but if all you want is sex it's probably the right place for you. I'm not saying you shouldn't be somewhat cautious. I'm saying your attitude suggests you'd be willing to just play with someone's heart and I don't see that as acceptable in any country. The good news is, based on who you appear to be, I'm guessing you can't afford a trip to the Philippines. Therefore, the worst you can do is victimize via social media.

That’s absolutely true, Ed 👍😊 (crime of passion laws)

This is in regards to Texas law.

If you get caught doing that, I am not sure it is your hand that would be red! :-)

@@TheFilipinaPea As foreigners, do we have any rights? AM now afraid of going to your country, lol. I Will forget my filipina, lol.

@@flavioaugusto4751 basically no rights, you have the right to have your embassy notified before being thrown in jail (but embassy can not help) you also have the right your way out of any situation you might find yourself in...

It certainly does appear that way these days.

Not as bad as the USA.

Then stay home. You obviously live in a country where the are always well-thought out and give the best results to society, right? So, why even bother to look elsewhere?

The Philippines land mass can fit into the state of Arizona . So these laws are in place to keep the country from being taking over by foreigners. Sucks for us if we want to buy and own a house . But rent is reasonable and a foreign style $$$ house can be hard to sell .

Filipinas will always be attractive but you may have to place some restrictions on little Willy Peter.

agreed

A correction of legal meanings in your first paragraph. In the USA in family courts men are most often victims of judicial prejudice AGAINST men. The family courts are almost never prejudiced TOWARDS men.

Can’t you just leave the country if you get into a bad situation related to a marriage? Assuming you haven’t invested in property.

@@chriso5842 yes but psst..... before they realize that

Yes! Exactly. Take it from someone who has been living here for years. The whole "family oriented" thing is hyped. Mostly they use it as an excuse to exploit and abuse one another, and a woman's foreigner partner whom they hope to take advantage of.

I guess you haven't been paying attention, but the rate of men of deserting their families is quite high in the PI. The "family orientation" of the PI has resulted in divorce being forbidden - its not a legal option there. Only annulments are allowed at a significant cost and ample bureacracy, as well. As a result, a lot of "single moms" are married women, unable to get a divorce. As a black man, you should be quite quite familiar with that scenario. But, tell me how did you conclude that were definitely not getting married.

Michael Pratch, I agree....seems the women are the family oriented ones , having children , raising the children , and working and providing for the child/children....unless they are married, the alot of men are "hit and run"...from what I have learned from my experience with women there....the older generation was more family oriented, younger nowadays not so much....

Most of them have husbands who knock them up and leave and/or start another family because it's so easy.

@@redpillsatori3020 Sad to say but it is a cultural thing in the Philippines where women are expected to have kids or she is looked down on as opposed to the western society's outlook where careers are the main focus.

Always glad to help, Jim 👍😊

Pea what is Gracie's contact information

Yup, exactly 👍

@@TheFilipinaPea You're amazing!

Precisely sir

You hit the nail on the head. The US likes to think that we are the ultimate in fair judiciary, but it's BS. Yes, there are worse places, but the point is still there. Be careful and don't do anything stupid.

How do you achieve the latter? Bank offshore? Use holding companies, trusts, etc?

Who's asking about the age of consent? Is that about sexual relations with a child? Gee wiz! Are guys looking to have sex with minor children even 18 yr olds? My goodness. If a man needs that clarification, the Philippines should automatically deny and/or revoke their visas or entry into the country. Start at 25+. For me, my minimum age was 37. Have some freaking morals man or go to jail.

Thailand 🇹🇭 IS Not the Philippines!

@@skybox-fs6dv Don't preach. It's more about being in the company of minors and having loony lefties like you reporting them when they've done nothing wrong.

@@skybox-fs6dvwhat about a 33 yr old single mum?

I plan to leave everything I have to my fiance and the kids we plan to get married soon and the kids and are all adults now and they want me to adopt them so they can take my last name is it possible for me to adopt them? And I have been to the Philippines and met everyone In the family they have never asked me from the beginning for anything I seen their needs from the start and I send money every week and sent the youngest daughter through 4 years of college and she has made straight As in her grades to show me her appreciation and they all have shown me the best respect and love.

This is scary

SO true...one guy was in prison for 7 years...then found not guilty... the government didnt even say sorry...he fled and vowed to never go back... the laws there need to be brought up to atleast the 1900s....some of the laws are retarded

Yes there is an Australian guy currently imprisoned in Lapu lapu ,Cebu awaiting trial now already 7 years….the Philippine justice system is dysfunctional and they cannot seem to fix it because they struggle to fix anything…….ending up on the wrong side of the law is common in philippines because people use the justice system to get revenge and other reasons…they are nasty and vindictive and are very convincing liars

@brianorella6086 your buddy should have been in jail as a chemo. Her parents should be arrested for allowing it to happen a 13 yo is still a child! Your buddy is a child predator plain and simple. I wouldn't brag about it!

Why would you share some shit like that man? That says a lot about you since that's your friend. That shit should not be allowed. WTF does a 13 year old know about being married or anything like that at such a young age. There was a sick dude in my security company that shared sick shit like saying his wife is 15 and from India. He was bragging about the paperwork consent. Guess what, the girls in my security company set him up and he was fired.

That's disgusting.

@@markaul Lighten up.

What an absurd statement. Judging by your use of English, I'm sure you have no clue about becoming a lawyer. If you did, you would know EU law is much more extensive than International and Mercantile law combined.

They are not lawyers Pea ty for bringing Gracie on your channel free advise.

I am hiring Gracie when I visit my friend there.

How about no gays allowed, no trans allowed signs? Also when they look at your girl like a piece of meat disrespecting you and her. The disrespect to women and LBGT is insane and I am a conservative guy. I'd NEVER move there and spent time on the 3 biggest islands. The level of corruption is HUGE, last time I was there (Feb 2020), they robbed my PH friend for 3000 PHP on a car stop in Manila.

Why is it so shocking that a country wants to protect it's own interests ?, the UK rolls over and let's it get dominated by foreign interests, if it wasn't for Brexit the UK would be completely screwed.

It's a country that is a predators paradise. As a researcher working with Anti Child Trafficking NGOs in Asia, I for one am thankful of the strict laws. You only have to look at the number of views of this video, to give you some idea of the scale of the problem. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my work, going through these comments, looking for possible suspects to be investigated.

I really don't have a problem with such "discrimination". The country should be for its' citizens and those the nation choose to associate with like for instance the Nordic Raad and the EU.

It's no different.. We as men are screwed every where we go

It is actually worse because foreign men often don't understand the culture or the collective nature of life in the Philippines. Foreigners won't have an accurate ability to size up a Filipina like they could a woman in their own culture. For example many foreign men don't understand Filipinos smile and laugh when they are embarrassed, etc. There are good and bad women in every country. Just gotta find the good ones.

@@subotaiKhan Do your research what red pill means. There is much to know.

Yes, thank goodness! I kept hearing it was 12 …..

@@TheFilipinaPea Thank goodness?? The thing is 18 is just an arbitrary age, the brain isn’t fully developed until 25 and women can give birth at 15 with no increased risk to mother or child… 18 isn’t either of these. The only reason 18 ever became a thing was because of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, they really wanted no sex until marriage but knew they couldn’t get that passed so they kept lobbying to raise the age instead (with the goal of eventually getting no sex till marriage passed). Here is the thing, I get it, wanting to “protect” woman is a noble thing. The issue I have is others deciding what’s right for someone else. How many of us had consensual sex before 18 (with someone our own age)? Would we have wanted to be locked up for it and think that was ok? No, of course not and that’s the problem with these laws is they tend to target the teens they are supposedly “protecting”, which is completely absurd.

@@GhostSal do you forget that protection exists, condoms or anti birth pills

​@@GhostSal The laws are in place to protect children from predatory sexual exploitation by adults. No one is going to blink an eye if young teens sexually experiment with each other, that is to be expected. Yes the age of consent has varried all throughout human civilization, however it is widely accepted mostly throughout the world that 18 years of age is the age of consent. Arbitrary or not, these laws protect youth from interference by adults, as it should be.

@@dilpickles5928 18 for seuxal consent?? ? Its 15 or 16 throughout most of Europe... Except Netherlands where it has been 12.

Yep you're absolutely right I can breathe a lot easier because I'm never going to go over there why would I want to go to a country that won't even let me buy a piece of land I don't think they should be allowed to own property here either what's good for the goose is good for the gander to hell with them we got a nice beaches here in tropical places why would I want to go to a country full of garbage and stupid laws when I can stay right here and put up with stupid laws and I don't have to put up with garbage

In countries like Russia you should be, because once outside the U S. the Constitution and U.S. law are not worth the paper they are printed on.

As an American Military person you are governed by the US's Status of Forces Agreement with the host country.

Not a problem maybe, till the new guy moves in. That said, stay married, respect the covenant under God (enjoy the blessing).

Exactly

U wont be saying this , if your ex wife/s new boy friend move in to stay permanently in the house which u worked hard to pay , but which now belong to him and your ex wife 😃😅

Your reaction and end words shows your wife plot behinds your back and your marriage is damage already, by you saying even if we break up shows that your relationship is damaged and bruised, better start being a true man and not be bossed around or just do everything for your wife rather then allowing her to be your wife and help you.

Actually Ben, that's not what she said. The child in the discussion was not the girl friend's child, The mom was the girlfriend, The child's mother was the girlfriend's daughter who was living in the same house of the girlfriend. If it is just you and your girlfriend living together, it would not be ok for you to be alone with a child under 12 or a child under 18 that was ten years younger than you.

I think what the lawyer mentioned was that it had to be clear that you get the invested asset back if stipulated in the contract before the lease was executed.

And include a self-destruct module

Hahahahaha (Or you could even sell it)

Be careful.

I'd set fire to it and walk away!! Job done. Everything in South East Asia is all about robbing the foreigner! Want a girl friend? save yourself a lot of financial heartache, rent one by the day!!!

I have divorced my Filipino wife but I'm still friends with her whole family so I guess I didn't divorce them

This is no longer true. When starting a company in the Philippines the SEC forms specifically prevent you from starting a business with a view to the company owning property

@@TheFilipinaPea I think it would be better to be in jail in the Philippines rather than the being in America chatting with your girlfriend 8000 Miles away. At least I can be closer to her and she can bail me out LOL 😅

@@clydekimsey7503 :D

Thanks Pea for helping us.

There are sick bastards out there who prey on under age kids it’s sickening

I agree I have Daugthers and to hear them even have to take time to talk about a 12 year old is sad!

Many sick foreigner look for underage..

21 and up for me. if they cant drink then we cant party!

YES, I was reading on the expat forum once. A guy was talking to an underage girl on Facebook. He went to meet her and they arrested him as soon as he got off the plan.

Here the age of consent is actually 18 too 👍

In some countries yes. Generally though you cannot be prosecuted at home for doing something in another country that is legal in that country. Exception is i think some scandinavian countries that e.g. forbid use of prostitutes abroad for their citizens

@@TheFilipinaPea That was the only thing I did never understood correctly and is now clarified which is a good thing. Because before I never understood why age of consent would ever be below legal age of marriage. But they need to be more clear about it, like you said, it's confusing to mention the age of 12. Afterall, that law is to protect children either against rape or above 12, against abuse and that needs to be very clear.

@@TheFilipinaPea I thought it was 16
