Just keep on doing your thing. I for one couldnt care less about all the drama there. Most of the videos about that are just to gain views. How is the construction going next door. It will be interesting to see how that is coming along. Take care
I watch your channel because I can relate to what your channel is about. I am married to a Filipina from Bacolod. We are planning to retire in the Philippines in a few years, and I find your channel extremely helpful in giving us ideas on how to proceed with that process. The simple life is all we are looking for. I can't wait to leave the rat race of the US to do nothing but relax in the Philippines. Best of luck to you guys.
Love the house, love the shirts! I’m in North Carolina, but Long Island’s north shore was home. I was so fascinated by your beautiful home thinking it was straight out of the Hamptons! If we choose the PH to retire your home is definitely our style!
Great video...and so true about spreading drama. My Mother always said "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything then". You both look great...glad to see you again on RU-vid.
Understand about not watching videos from the Philippines. Nice shirts you two! Am another who is not interested in the drama videos, they are not getting my views. Good to see you both, Wilma and Greg....Jim
glad to see you back online...and I like your attitude towards not getting involved with the problems of others. Basically the reason I do not strive to meet other foreign nationals/ex-pats..live and let live, take care of your own, provide for those that mean the most to you, as you say, in the second half of your life and wanting to leave your family in a fine state of comfort. These are my points of life as I live it for myself and the wife. I have watched your home build (great looking home) and parts of it I think of doing myself (build the outer walls first then the house)...thanks for all advice you give as a home owned...just heard of your solar project and now you mention your solar guy and others..ideas to find new business's and going through the process of building in the Philippines.......
Please keep up doing what you do, I have gotten very useful information from you about what all we will need to do and watch out for when we try to get moved there. Enjoy watching both of you, keep up the good work!! Actions speak louder than words!
Spot on Greg & Wilma, we also stopped watching some of those channels. The power of positivity goes a long way. Life's too short not to be happy in retirement and not have to deal with the drama others choose to create. We love watching your videos!!
Thanks for keeping it real. I only watch home construction in the Philippines as me and my wife are planning to build in about 2 years. Sad that there are so many negative videos circulating around on RU-vid. We are a private couple and really stay away from drama. When we start to build our home i want to produce constructive educational videos that people can use. You are correct in staying away from the nastiness that is surfacing. Keep the great content coming. Looking forward to the new builder and security videos.
For some RU-vidrs it’s all about the views and subscriptions. That’s how some of them survive. Controversy sometimes gets views. Sex usually gets views. Greg if you did a video of you in a sexy bikini you might get 200k views too 😂. As my girlfriend and I are planning to build a house in CDO, we watch mostly home building channels. She just did a major add-on to her farmhouse in Mindanao where her dad lives. It looks good in the pictures. She’s going there next week to check it out and then both of us are going in June. At some point we’re going to install solar there. I’m hoping that when we build our house in a few years we’ll have most of the wrinkles ironed out before we start. We also like the channels that go to different places in the Philippines and elsewhere.
While we don't always agree, you and Wilma are spot on in this video. I found during my visit a few weeks ago, that While visiting with some RU-vidrs, some tried to pull me into the Duma drama. It wanted none of it. I completely agree, if you have nothing nice to say ...say nothing. I hope we can meet up when I return this fall. I know exactly the young lady you speak of .. and her bikini vids. I have always enjoyed watching your home build. I especially want to thank you for your charitable contributions to your community . Take care.
Thanks for commenting appreciate it. People must have such boring/miserable lives as many keep trying to keep it going. Sad really. Look us up once back in the area.
When you know both parties it's best to stay neutral. It is said " it's an A & B conversation so I will "C" myself out. I agree 💯% with your decision. Everyone has an opinion but you don't have to make it public!
100 percent agree. It's the folks who feel the want to make public their opinion that's wrong in my book. Go make a video about your own life, not about putting down or gossiping about someone else's.
Love your channel. There are too many youtubers in PH focused on single retired foreigners dating a Filipina. Im not their demographic, and really prefer channels like yours.
Congratulations 🎉of making your shirts 🎽 ah don't mine to much of those negative people you're absolutely right on most part they just want to make more views
Gregg, your Dad was a smart man, and right , and you can't judge a book by its cover,t oo many fakes out there . TSometimes there's also too much drama going around,and sometimes people make other peoples business THEIR business.🤔
My partner (Filipina) and I are seriously considering not retiring in the Philippines. It seems as though the Philippines is becoming a "dump your worst type of foreigner" on our shore's kind of country nowadays. I have been traveling to the Philippines since 2008 and have also actually lived in both Pampanga and Cebu several years ago. And so, to me the Philippines is not nearly what it used to be, primarily because of the poorly behaved Expats nowadays. Retirement in the Philippines would be nearly the same as retiring in America amongst the same types of negative Americans that I'm trying to get away from. We may purchase a Condo in BGC just to have a footprint, or home base if you will. But we are looking to other countries to spend roughly 60% to 70% of the time in. And just Airbnb the Condo in BGC during the months we are not there. We have enjoyed watching your videos. Wish you and Wilma all the best.
Thanks for the comment. Wilma and I have met some of the nicest couples. As you are right, their are less than desirable expats here. We simply avoid them. At the same time, we have found many couples to be great people. Our circle of friends has been wonderful.
I know you can't name what island she's on 🤔 But can you tell me her channel ?? 🤣 Love your channel Class act Maybe toss in some food reviews , It's always nice to discover new eateries 😋
Hey Gregg , forgive me and my sarcasm But if you ever find a great place to eat Please announce it !!! Popello's Italian restaurant in Henry's my latest new favorite eatery
I don’t follow those Vloggers who want to put dirty laundry in the wind, especially for views. I also don’t follow those who strut their bikinis 😡 There are only 3 channels in Negros that I follow, yours, the guy we had coffee with, and a mutual friend of yours and the other guy. I consider you 3 to be honest, responsible people, and friends. 👍 I’ll sent you a PM
Yep same like my channel no extreme thumbnail, click bait or edited videos but also why just a few hundred subs in the Last 4yrs. Ya we don't watch or comment on Expat drama here especially utuber ones like the big circle of them that's all the channel is about drama
@buildingthephilippines exactly mine a hobby just to save experience while showing some of the areas of the Philippines. I noticed alot here don't have any financial means besides utube or subliment with ss why alot of channels start getting lost into the drama chasing the views &$. Keep up the good video I lived here 7yrs but still watch a few good channels like yours always learning.
I am sure those 6 or 7 youtuber doesn’t represent the mayority of foreigners in Dumaguete. Same way those few new bikinis filipinas youtubers. Finally someone exposing those desperate losers willing to sell anything or anybody for some coin and views.
I have also stopped watching all the videos. I just don't care just fricken don't care. We would love to meet you both we live nearby. Me andy girlfriend
