I'm an American lady married to a Filipino man for 8 yrs now and we just moved from the US to Alabang, Filinvest City Metro Manila. We will be here 1-3 yrs. My husband is the absolute BEST man on the planet. ❤
I am another Montanan with an interest in the Philippines. I have been married to a Filipino for almost 15 years. Marrying her was one of the most positive things I have done in life. We built a vacation home in the Philippines in 2016 and spend about 5 weeks a year there. One time we spent a year there. Wonderful islands. Wonderful people. I wish you the best on the rest of your journey in life!
same here.........ROUNDUP/BILLINGS here. Im going to end up marrying a Pinay, or Laotian i swear. A RARE FEW ARYAN/AMERYANS are great, but it's slim pickinz overall. Too many obese loud-mouthed entitled feminazis to choose from who'd wake up one day and say "impulsive control FAILURE! I want a divorce!!!" lol. not worth the effort/energy/time. PERIOD. I'll definitely chance it with an Asian/overseas female who usually possesses an attractive personality, body, face, and ATTITUDE along with being what men truely want-HONESTY/LOYALTY! TRUST ME, men, go overseas. better odds/gamble ! ! ! IM OUT
Omg I know this guy! When he said he was from Montana and then he used to do tours and immigration paperwork it all came back to me. I went over to the Philippines and I met a girl at a restaurant when I was with a man that was my private Filipino driver who I met through this old man. My driver had business cards that read "Special Services" lol. Anyway, it turns out after I ended up giving the girl an engagement ring. This man in your video somehow found out that she was living with some Filipino boyfriend so she wasn't truly single. He went to where she was living and got my ring back for me. This is a very stand up guy. He's really honest. I don't know anybody else who would have done that and I don't know if he even remembers my story. Anyway, I did find a nice Filipina who I've been married to for 20 years now. I never thought I'd see or hear from this guy again until I saw your video. Back then when I met him in the Philippines, I think he had some kind of cancer diagnosis / treatment if I recall correctly. I'm not sure what happened with that but it sure is interesting to see him again on your video. If any Foreigner knows the ins and outs of the Philippines it's this man,,,. no doubt about it! And yes, it was Cebu where I met him which is apparently where he still resides. When I visit the Philippines again I'm going to pop in his office above Ayala Mall.
I remember the night we went to get that ring, I did a uturn on a one way street and ended up with the police chasing me. I do not remember your name however
@@Livingabroadalex Well it his case its pretty much "No s**t, Sherlock?" Greatest common denominator and all that. I mean one, two, three might just be bad luck. Seven is definitely YOU. I'm just glad to see it regardless, because the TRUTH is, successful men have good things to say about Filipinas and men who failed have bad things to say about Filipinas. No one ever really takes the psychological components into consideration. How often do you hear some guy blaming some Filipina for running off on him after she got the green card, when maybe he was an a-hole to her and she was just smart enough to stick around long enough to get it before she bailed? There are guys that dont understand their market. They outkick their coverage and then wonder why she took advantage of him.
I enjoyed the video because I married a Filipino as well and Im so glad I got this little lady. She is not money hungry, very conservative and she takes very good care of me. We have been married 13 years now and Im 80 years old and she is half my age but age is just a number, right?? I can identify with this guy and appreciate where he comes from. Thank you one and all.
May our Lord continue to bless this man. I would love to meet this guy. From one montanan to another. I always wanted to go to the Philippines. i think the people are beautiful
What an incredible story Alex 40 years man that's a long time to be living here and yeah I can't go back and live in the west either I wouldn't know how to adapt to the way of life there anymore
Love this guy's colorful story. I am glad that he came to the realization after so many failed marriages that he was the problem. He found his way, mellowed out, got married long-term, and helped a lot of people immigrate to the Philippines.
Thank you for asking and bringing up the Healthcare cost. Three stents + angio + 7 day stay in an executive room at an America hospital is easily over $250k and he paid only $15k in the Philippines… most importantly he turned out just fine. Incredible.
USA is a rip off for healthcare. That same procedure would be 10x cheaper at full cost in Australia. I know this because I follow medical groups and compare peoples medical charges that they post.
@@Samk-hg5sk Not all insurance will cover. It will still be more than the $15k that the man spent (even with insurance coverage). Healthcare insurance in the US is a joke. I know I live in the USA. Ask me about it. hahaha
Correct.. even u hve health insurance it'll only hve an amount or percentage that can only cover by the health insurance the balance u still need to pay out of pocket aside from your payment every month in health insurance
40 years living in the Philiippines had already accustoms to custom, cultures and traditions of the country and how can he go back in the US when maybe he doesnt know already maybe the whereabouts of most of his family his childhood friends whereas in the Philippines already established a support system like family, community and friends that really cared for him.
Yes, I don’t know if it is “hindsight” coz the vlog states his long residence there, but I felt like even b4 I registered that fact that I was thinking to myself, “this man kinda speaks like a Filipino” ie his mannerisms & speech cadence & just kinda demeanor. It was funny to me, not in a bad way, just interesting funny. Then when he said he didn’t socialize with other expats…light bulb moment! 💡Ty for the interview to both gentlemen.
Hello Mike!! What a small world. I hired Mike to do my now wife, with her F-1 Visa well over 10 years ago. I must say his group was/is above and beyond with their services. I'm been living in the Philippines now over 10 years and like many others happy as can be. I will stop by your office next time we are in town. Be blessed.
Its true, I visited the Philippines during 2022, boyyyyyyyy I had alot of women after me, im not a 10 but a solid 6 1/2 and I had to weed out the ones who just wanted money and found me a shy one, came back in 2023, practically lived in the Philippines for 2 months and when I came back to USA, I felt lost honestly, yes it is affordable to us westerners since our dollar is stronger but the way of life is much more relax, calm, chill in the Philippines, cant wait to go back but for 3 months. im ony 36
I met a smart' beautiful filipina 13 years ago. We are now builfing our second home. She cooks'cleans and so do I because she works so hard. She is fun to be with.
Absolutely incredible that this fella from Montana decided to reside in The Philippines. I travelled to Montana as a young kid from the UK in 1977, along with Idaho, where my family are based and Wyoming. I too have been to The Philippines many times and truly adore it. I'm totally flabbergasted at this man's stories.
Great video! I was having fun listening to him tell his stories... and I was happy to hear him say "he's Filipino" because it meant, he learned to love being in the Philippines..
One half asian is like winning the genetic lotto. Just tell your dad to put your face on his phone as a screen saver because it’s easier to find your picture for the 10,000 time he’s asked, haha.
Very interesting video 📹, bring back memories of me stationed at Clark Air Base, Philippines 🇵🇭. Now age 61,widower, I have plans to return and retire in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you for this video 📹.
Amazing story. When I was 17 (now 70), there were no friendlier girls in the world more so than the girls in Missoula Montana. I've been in the Philippines for 16 years now. Married for 15.
Mike has known me since I was a kid .. mike is the most loving and caring person I know he gives good life advice and has THE best stories to tell! 🥺 loved this interview 🫶🏻
Nothing wrong with old man wanting pretty young lady and nothing wrong with lady wanting security so what it’s good trade what’s love got to do with it…. People have been doing this since the beginning of time and only in the last 50-60 years westerners are saying this is not right and their own marriage ends in divorced 😂
@13:30 What men have to understand is that it is the true nature of women to want to be secured financially physically and spiritually. That's what makes them traditional. And the sole responsibility of that man is to provide those things to that woman. If you want a traditional woman, you have to be responsible to her. In my opinion, those make the best wives And that no longer exist in the west.
Yes that is true. Women of all nations and nationalities want security. Even in the animal kingdom, like gorillas or birds. The female gorilla or bird will go for the male that can give security, any time. 😀
Keep up the good work 👍 I have been following you now for a couple of months and really love your content. We actually met each other in IT park yesterday. Im that guy from the Netherlands and been traveling around the philippines for the last 10 weeks.
@@Livingabroadalex funy thing is now I'm leaving the country after 10 weeks in the philippines I finally found a lady I really feel convertible with to start a relation. But I only videocaled with her so far no time to meet for a cup of coffee.
It's always like. The universe does this to me everything right before I leave a country. Right when things really pick up and get positive or exciting
@@Livingabroadalex it's a good reason for me to come back earlyer as I planned and she is a lady I can talk with for hours so I believe we can keep each other motivated till then.
Good and honest man. Thank you for loving and living in the Philippines and its people. Wish him more success and happiness in life. Watching from the USA.
I recall how the internet and wireless was slow and terrible in the US, in due time it gets fixed. PH is a growing country and in due time they will solve that problem too. All are still happy to have any form of communication whatever that maybe. For most, the internet, its not a deal breaker for wanting to live in paradise.
My opinion as a Filipino, it will at least take 15 years, it is that slow... it will take another generation to improve because those business men have clout to the occupants of Malacanang and the lower house.
Having just Globe and PLDT will not improve the situation. The corrupt business men can just sit on their assess and do nothing because there are no other competition. When he talked about corruption, the very slow internet and the inefficient phone systems are the results. And the ultimate victims are the Filipinos and the foreigners. We know because we are Filipinos that now live in the USA.
It's dead easy to fix, they just need to allow competition and with the high population density that place would be a goldmine for any telco but it ain't going to happen because the politicians have stakes in the telcos already established so they aren't going to allow it. Wouldn't be such a big deal if they upgraded the present infrastructure but they are too cheap to do it.
I am very lucky 🍀 47 years married beautiful now. Excellent Cook excellent wife. Can’t beat the Philippines 🇵🇭 people are very friendly and most are very trustworthy .
diet and exercise is key to good health in any country and especially in Asia! They have foods that will kill you just like all other countries, and if you partake of them you will shorten your life and suffer ill health! Diet and Exercise! and FASTING will restore and keep your health! Plus if your a man you MUST think with your big head ALWAYS and NOT the little one! Cuz a pretty gal (from anywhere) can take most men to the cleaners in a big fat hurry!
If people are just lookin to hook up with women....they can do that themselves.....If they are looking to settle down then look for this guy Mike Tessadori....who knows...you might be married till 83+yrs old. Admitting that the problem was his on previous marriages was a big step on relationships. Great video...keep rockin
I am new here, so new sub. I am 32 and now retired. I want to go to PH not for the women but just to get away and find peace. I emailed the email on your description... Told my story there, I guess this is the first step of starting my new journey. So long Alabama, it's been fun. Somehow it was a godsend finding this video. If anything happens I will try to reply back someday. I would really like to learn Tagalog before I leave, or at least know some words. It could be 4-6 months from now.
One thing I learned very quickly, with little bit of money, you can get the honey. Sad reality, coz of poverty and lack of opportunities. It is what it is! Why do you think all us old , fat, dale men come here? Surely not the beaches? ☺️ but I must say, people are wonderful, and girls are beautiful, what a country ❤
Yes but women of all nations and nationalities want security. Even in the animal kingdom, like gorillas or birds. The female gorilla or bird will go for the male that can give security, any time. 😀
Why not the beaches? Philippines has fantastic beaches. And the weather is perfect during the dry season. Sure beats Canada and Europe during the winter months.
@@AutisticMorty He is just making a figure of speech, hyperbole. For sure he loves the beaches, but for him, the girls are more beautiful figuratively than the beaches.
Crazy story, We have PLDT in Grand Land Residents, It Rocks, It must be bad line in his condo, I’m from Wyoming right next to Montana his home state in USA, Both state’s very Conservative, That’s really America if you live mid west, Big City very liberal, Liberated women, purple hair, rings everywhere, Girl on Girl, Trans that whole crazy movement. Totally can relate, As far as other expats lol, Only when we in Cebu meet a few here and there, Depends where there from but most don’t get along lol with each other, Totally Filipino-most the time, Good Vid, God Bless Salutes🫡🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
This may surprise some people, but I think the healthcare quality in Manila is just as good as the U.S. I have heart problems and the care I've received here is much better than the U.S. Fact. The healthcare in the provinces is not good. But Manila? Very good.
Don't drop Medicare part B if you move Philippines a couple moved back to states for better medical care he had drop part B 13 yrs ago know he pay 300 on wife only price double for 2 VA take care of him so he only pay on wife out of social security imagine if he was not a vet $ 600 out of social security for part B my opinion sure it somewhat cheaper but it not better health care unless your in a big city then it just as good. over 65 insurance to expensive there or you cant buy it at all with pre condition
Choose educated and descent Filipinas if someone is looking for a wife here not in Angeles City,maybe a sales lady,a nurse or esucator/teacher by profession.
See this is the problem with the western people they treat marriages like clothes that you can change when ever you want. Marriages are a commitment to each other and to GOD that you will love each other forever
This guy carved out an incredible niche for himself. He got to show guys around while they were probably the most excited they ever been in their lives to meet who they were talking to. All the while they are retired in paradise. Now that's a fun job.
I wish they can solve the internet in the Philippines, same thing in my mother’s house. My sister always changes which one is better but all runs bad. And I’m used to have good internet here in America high speeds always make it easy.
Having just Globe and PLDT will not improve the situation. The corrupt business men (aided by more corruption in Malacanang) can just sit on their assess and do nothing because there are no other competition. When he talked about corruption; the very slow internet and the inefficient phone systems are the results. And the ultimate victims are the Filipinos and the foreigners. We know because we are Filipinos that now live in the USA.
Haha true. But I guess he speaks from his personal experience and seems to be going to credible hospitals. I personally haven't visited any so can't speak from personal point of view.
Quality medical care has been a nice surprise here. I’ve been impressed with our physicians. Both had residencies at top hospitals in the U.S. and are excellent clinicians. Yes, some provincial hospitals are sketchy, but overall we are pleased.
Hello Mike. Good to see you. Glad you’re well. My wife and I came to see you at your place of business around 6 or 7 years ago. I highly recommend to anyone looking to start the process of getting your bride to the states. Thanks again.
The interviewer is excellent. The way that he asked questions and the questions he asked garnered good information from the person being interviewed. I also liked the way that he let the man tell his story without interrupting him at inappropriate times. Well done!
He was married multiple times in the US, then meets a woman in the Philippines and marries her a week after he meets her? Unfortunately this is the story of too many guys who wonder why things do not work out?
I've always wanted to move there but I don't meet the requirements I will have the equivalent of 86,500 PHP for the 1st 6 mnths then 68,000 per mnth after that Plus I understand you have to have been to the Philippines before you need a previous customs stamp on your passport in order as one of the conditions for a retirement visa there 😮💨
This very different to many videos about the Philippines. It from someone who the country and the people. To many videos are from fly by nighters and have learn't nothing. Thank you very much.
Finally...A foreign Western man from the USA that admits HE is the problem, and should have fixed himself before trying engaging in relations and marriage. Nice interview, and interesting tales he told about his life, and i look forward to more from you. Peace
Great video...interesting story...especially for someone like me that lived in Montana several times. Currently living in Bangkok, Thailand for 2 years.
