Why Are Foreigners (Expats) Fleeing The Philippines? 

Stop meeting people online and in bars. Its that simple. Try a bunch of hobbies and meet people organically doing things you both are interested in.

Just stay single and don't commit to just one lady. Keep your finances for yourself.

Just reinforces the many reasons I already have for NOT moving there. I was married to a Filipina for 12 years and it was a nightmare. I know all about tampo and the in-laws constantly demanding money from me. Never again. Not to mention the heat, humidity, pollution, noise, crime, dirt, ignorance and poverty. I would not move to a ghetto in the US. Why do it overseas? And then have to constantly renew your visa for the "privilege?"

I will NEVER return to the Philippines for all of the reasons mentioned here. I lived there in Cebu city for nearly 3 years and loved it… until I didn’t. Just one inconvenience and ridiculous thing after another, finally wore me down.

The biggest thing for be is the long long wait time for medical sometimes all day even with appointments it can be long. Appointment time doesn't mean you get seen at appointment time.

You have to be right for that life. I grew up in Indiana, lived for a few years in the Keys and everything was great for me. Now it's too expensive for an option but the Philippines will be like stepping back to that time. And with well planned funds & smart budgeting, passive income I'm sure it will work;. I don't plan to be alone but I'm not desperate for everything that comes my way either.

This video is great. I'm currently doing loads of research on the pros and cons of retiring in the Philippines.

My Wife is Indonesian and I met her in Las Vegas. I've been with her since 2003 and we currently live in Indonesia. Women here are great; but, you have to take your time with them.

Bought land for my wife 7 years after marriage and 4 kids. Play your cards smart guys!

It’s nice to hear the other side bc all that glitter is not gold thank you for giving the other side of the P. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My dad warned me “Georgie, before you ever think of getting married, first buy a total stranger a HOUSE!” Yeah, my dad! Great advice! MGTOW all my life and financially and emotionally secure in my 60s 😏 Oh, yes, visited the Philippines several times, along with Indonesia and Eastern Europe… ALL much higher quality girls/ladys but, when all is said and done… still female.

Good video. You explain things just like they are.

Well said.

Some vloggers videos claim that many westerners are going to the Philippines and others say westerners are leaving…mi guess it’s a balance :-)

A fool and his money are soon parted. The old adage is so true.

Your volume fluctuates along the way if you listen through. Senior but not hard of hearing. Otherwise..., Great video! Explains the other side of the coin. It goes back to verify, verify and re-verify with everything you do, everywhere you go and everyone you meet. Unfortunately so in the states and it sounds like it's the same over there too. Mostly what you hear from those who blog and with their videos of living there are good experiences and why you should move here. With all that you said you seem to be doing sort of okay from what I read and hear in your voice. It sounds like you're one of the guys who didn't leave. How come? We would like to know. With the peace and tranquility that you could find there and not in the states today it sounds like it could be a win-win. Most Filipinos who I speak with seem happy even with their current economic strife and status. Thanks so much.

Dorothy said it best. "There is no place like home".

Just got a 6 month in Manila ESERVICES online June 27 . Try to do ESERVICES before going to BI so not to sit there all day . Also they take Visa and Mastercard online now ! Always rent , maybe a condo in your own name but not jointly may work . Try to find a living situation , apt or condo facing away from the Sun and not facing the busy front street noise . Buy Converge prepay plan internet 700p per month good internet no contract !

I would say probably cause a few have ruined it for themselves. Others because they just are not open minded enough to survive anywhere other then where they grew up.😮

there is no perfect relationship anywhere, no perfect partners out there either

You covered the ups and downs pretty well. I want to leave California badly but I have a house and Medicare and all my doctors and medicines lined up. I could not take the hassles about visa's, power, rent, roosters, and family issues. I will take the devil I know before I flee to the devil I do not know. Thanks Mark

Friends, don't set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.

Nailed it, PH has many positives, primarily cost of living, but it's no paradise

I like the Philippines and was married to a filipina for 20 plus years, but Thailand has so much better medical, rental housing,food, cleaner cities, etc. But even Thailand has a nightmare visa system.

Eight years ago when I first arrived in the Philippines I met another expat on the ferry from Cebu to Negros. We spoke at length as he was preparing to depart the Philippines for good. He listed many of the same reasons discussed here. I remember him saying 8 years is the number when most leave, he had seen it time and time again. It's 8 years for me and yes the honeymoon is long over, I fully grasp the culture and the difficulties of living here. Yes, I've thought about leaving but the good here still far outweighs the bad as long as you keep your expectations in check. But realize this country is not for everyone. You need to be very patient and adaptable to make it here. You must be able to find solutions for every obstacle and always have plan A, B and C ready to execute. I will close that like everywhere, location is the big key to your peace of mind here. Never stop looking until you find the place that ticks the boxes you desire. Don't settle because in the long run it won't work. Good luck and safe travels.

How many guys learned the language. How many guys read migration narratives, how many guy understand the process of honeymoon, culture shock, recovery and adaptation.

You shouldn’t even think about buying a house for a girl until you’ve been together in person for five years.

I have seen Plenty of falung's in Thailand living on the streets , Penniless , and there Ex Thai Wife , is living in the Mansion he Built for her !

You didn't mention, the Philippines can be a very noisy place. I Have lived in 4 different parts of this country from Dumagete to Cebu to Panglao, Bohol, all very noisy. Dogs, construction, loud people, music late hours, motorbikes, barangay Hall, generators, roosters. Even in the middle of Cebu. Have to wear ear plugs. So if you don't mind that it's OK... sometimes.

Imagine "dating" a young girl for a year online, sending money, and paying for a house and then flying over there to find out that the girl of your dreams is not Maria but Mario.

I just got back to Texas after spending a month in Pampanga. Been going there for well over a decade (always a month at a time) to see my wife's family. I'm done with that country and have abandoned all ideas of retiring there. I'll keep my family and my money here where it's beautiful, clean and livable. These old dudes going there for a young beautiful bride live in fantasy land that the lady actually loves them. I married my wife from there many years ago and brought her here. I don't regret my choices and we have a beautiful life here in Texas and my Fil-Am relationship is great but i think many things have changed. The PI is a mess, things are difficult and the thought process of people is enough to drive any westerner completely mad. There's a HUGE reason those people want OUT of their own country. Food for thought for any guy thinking about going over there to retire.

I am married to a Filipina, and live 8 months out of the year in the US. You don't need some big American style house in the Philippines. I built a very small, block house in the PHP in the province with a big porch and back deck all covered with concrete under feet and a small a/c unit for less than $10,000 USD. Stop thinking like an American where you are going to show your wealth in impress people in the PHP. No one cares here, and in fact they will look at you as a sucker and try to get something from you. My wife and I live a great life, but we don't live above our means, and don't have a big house. Stop trying to buy your way into a Filipina's heart, be stingy with your money, don't give it away, if a girl likes you great, if she doesn't, there's 50 million single Filipina's, so you will find one that lives your life, and your rules.

Can't you use the term scammed, rather than 'relationship didnt work out', what does that mean? In Thailand a guy accepted the 'relationship didn't work out', hired a buldozer for 5am, and levelled the house, with mother-in-law jumping up and down screaming at cops who told her 'Your land, his bricks' (roof, kichen, bathrooms, included of course). He 'cut' his losses.

Look after yourself!! anyone else is a passenger and they’ll ride for free if it’s on a plate 🍽️ Don’t Be A Fool 😮

Philippines a great place for holidays Love them and leave them Don’t feel bad Pilipinas land of love triangles that can get you killed

Texas expat living in Thailand when Covid started I was obese called doctor friend in states asked him what to do he told me to get healthy and lose weight a lot of the older obese people were dying went to RU-vid first started Keto and now carnivore last year 70 lbs down now o statins or BP meds needed or wanted big Pharmaceutical companies and the highly processed food companies lost me as a customer oh I am pureblooded no issues here in Thailand

I moved to the Philippines long before you got there. I've seen the transitions

There are golddiggers in any country; the only difference is Filipino girls help their family: sisters, brothers, parents etc at the man's expense but women in other countries, women use the money for themselves! Don't marry a Filipino woman because of the family dynamics that can't be changed. On the other hand, they are the best partners if you found an honest and caring person. I would suggest not to marry anyone who already have children unless they are adults and independent; otherwise, you would be their ATM machine! Just my opinion from another Filipino woman leaving in the USA. Thank you!

As a younger guy living in the Philippines simply isn't viable due to the ridiculously low salaries. As much as I really dislike how expensive everything is getting here in the US the wages in the Philippines are so horrendous even for the very highly educated that the lower prices don't adequately compensate for it.

You seem like a really balanced guy - and well in tune with your location and your life. I am a retired Englishman, living in Thailand for the last 8 years - and appreciating every single day!! But every downside you mentioned about the Philippines could equally apply to Thailand. If you come expecting ALL the trimmings of your home country, but with one-third the cost of living and much better weather, you will NEVER adjust. People need to take SE Asia as it is - tradition is a huge thing here, and will not change for you or anybody else. Once they’ve weighed up the pro’s and con’s of that - and truly accepted it - life will be great!! BUT THEY NEED TO COME WITH THEIR EYES WIDE OPEN !

So well said Mark, thanks. Ps how about when we go to a restaurant and find something on the the menu only to be told the famous words "NOT AVAILABLE" then they stand there waiting while you continue to ponder the menu only to tell you again "NOT AVAILABLE over annd over.

I think the majority of people leaving here are 2 basic main factors. 1- They listened to idiots on youtube who said they could live here like a king on $1000 and woke up to reality. 2- They did not really research all of the things they will need to compromise on, thinking they could somehow go against reality and be smater than the Filipinas here. How many actually came here for a few months to have actual experience living here with the culture, weather, utilities, foods, transportation and how to get your money here from your country. How many big ego ones come here just to have a 20 year old hanging off their arm and then somehow surprised when she leaves for another more handsome with more money? Trying to live a western lifestyle here will cost you highly and youll still have to compromise on many things you cant buy. You cant control the weather, you cant control the utility companies, you cant control the laws, and most certainly, you can't change anything here except your attitude. The only thing you can control is how you want to live and accept the things you can't control.

The Best is 6 months there and 6 months back home for spring/summer. That's my plan because once end of march hits in PH it's too hot. Like November to March and then I'm out. Can always travel to other places. Japan or maybe Portugal is a good option for cooler weather...

Yeah don't build a house for a Pinay you hardly really know and haven't been with for years.

JUST ENJOY THE FRUIT DONT MARRY IT OR DISCLOSE YOUR INCOMES OR BUY OR BUILD A HOUSE YOU WILL GET CLEANED OUT

Wherever you go there you are. Visit, go slow with relationships, limit financial outlay, then decide if the place is for you or not. Whatever you do, do not place your savings on a relationship bet.

after 13 yrs the country is crap now especially after lockdowns finally left 2 months ago best move ever

What about women moving to the Philippines? I am not looking for a relationship. Just peace and happiness and no taxes.

Online dating is pathetic. Put yourself first. Maintain your frame. Relationships should never be why you live or don't live somewhere

A must see video for every guy thinking about coming to the PH. Great Job!

Humm🤔 Fantastic information!!👍👍 I'm having second thoughts about moving to the phillipines. Yes, the women are pretty, but there's alot more to consider, that's for sure.

When i arrived in the Philippines 30 years ago, I was in a group with 43 foreigners in it, after 20 years me and another guy were the only two left in the country, all the others went back to their countries. Joined another group with 18 foreigners and after 10 years there was only 3 left. Its not easy at all here, you have to graft.

The Philippines crap.

It’s probably best to just make a couple of real close ( trusted ) Philippine friends that can and will guide you to all the do’s and don’t’s over there. , that way you will be more aware of what’s going on ( before ) you do something that you may regret later. So that’s the real key to survive and thrive and enjoy the best of everything and not lose out.

I lived with my filipina in Dumaguete last year. I was going to retire in the Philippines. I was there 9 months total but it only took me 3 months or so to realize I didn't want to retire there. Reasons are noise, chickens, sick dogs in the streets, substandard and expensive food, people who don't care about making their lives better, slow moving apathetic people living in terrible conditions, horrible ridiculous traffic and insane drivers. I went back to my beautiful quiet home in Texas and my filipina will be joining me soon.

I’ve only been in the Philippines for over four months now and I love every minute of it. I do not miss Florida US at all. But I will keep one of my cars and my home in Florida just rent it out and I will travel back-and-forth, but I live primarily in the Philippines 🇵🇭 The white sand beaches with turquoise water, mountains, waterfalls, caves, cliff diving, surfing. Kind, warm, welcoming people, the abundant local fruits, beautiful weather and a lower cost of living. The Phillipines is awesome 🇵🇭

Just back from 2 months all over the 3 regions. It is way too hot to grow old there. 20 years of coming there and never seen it so hot and all the prices are up. One accident on the bike and its very hard to come back from. Better think hard. You cannot use aircon 24 hrs a day even if you can afford it. 60 days and out.

every two month tourist visa's are a moneymaker for the government here. It's OK for short term, but long term have a plan for either a 13A or SRRV visa

You also need to have very low aspirations to live there. I grew up and spent the majority of my life on Maui, Hawaii and island life can really hard. It can lead to drugs and alcohol as a normal way of life. The cost if going anywhere is too much to do very often. Personally I can go without a beach the rest of my life. My early years on Maui we could fish and camp, but now everything is owned and parks shut down at night because of druggies and homeless. So the things I enjoyed disappeared. Living in Virginia and enjoying it.

Grim realities. Good stuff Mark!

The hay days of visiting the Phil. were the Eighties of the prev. Century. Cheap, good life, very friendly welcoming girls and great eighties music(and we were younger). Even under Marcos Martial-Law, one could feel more freedom . Since then, by the years, things were going down the drain, and foreigner who come here have to consume the leftover of the Ole Good Days.

On line is BS. Get there, and meet girls in person from the get go. 👍🏼

Me if its winter in NY im in the Philippines from October - March then back here in NY for 6 months

Never rely on anyone else. Just do what you need to satisfy yourself, don't plan on pleasing anyone else. 🏖️

I'm so thankful I came back to the United States. The laws are so strict in the Philippines for non crimes in the United States. Visa are getting harder and can't trust anyone. You can think your in love and having a great life, until you find out this person is lawfully married without knowing. When everything is cheaper doesn't mean it's better.

Mark l like yuor honesty not everything it’s paradise

Done 4 month long trips in the Philippines,loved it there and considered retirement there. Reconsidered,the pit falls out weighs any advantages. As for Asian women just don’t. Had 3 just drain your resources and they take and take and give nothing back

I guess im one of the lucky ones. My girl is simply amazing. As far as living there, it's been tough, but unlike a lot of guys my age, im pretty flexible. That and i have a rather sizable retirement package. My fiance has told me on numerous occasions that she would go or move anywhere i want. My short-term plans are to buy a nice but modest home in Davao city, and a possible second home in Argentina, where it even cheaper to live and purchase a home. Not to mention they have edible beef there in abundance. But to your point of picking the right woman, its simple, stop choosing the same kind of girl and expecting someone different. Women are women no matter the geographical boundaries. Find a happy Filipina, one that appreciates and loves her simple life, one who is close to God. She's there, praying for a good man to give her all to.

Come on really? If a guy falls for all these traps or just travel to Ph because he met her online he is just plain inexperienced and probably never really had multiple women in his life.

if you think because you talk with someone on the computer that that person is your girlfriend you are living in la la land.

I am 77 years old Canadian living in Philippines. I have a gorgeous 47-year-old Filipina. I could have my pick of Canadian women my age but got depressed just thinking about them. No way could I get a woman like I have in Canada. I did not come here for the Philippines, only for my girlfriend because I saw the importance of keeping her near her large family. She comes from a middle-class family who never ask me for anything. I love Canada and would never leave if not for my Filipina. I enjoy the culture here as it reminds me of Canada 70 years ago. I raise roosters here as I did in Canada and have a Filipino Dog. I am very happy here but would tell any foreigner to stay in their home country unless they want to be with a woman like I have. Also, make sure your Filipina has excellent English and exceptional communication skills. Know exactly what you want and make it clear to her at the very beginning. Do not tolerate any control nonsense, tampo or jealousy. If she does not accept you fully on your terms, man up, dump her and find a better one.

Go live in a 3rd world country ?!? What could go wrong 😝?

You need family you can count on back home you need savings that you will only use to get back to your home country in a emergency situation and 1800 usd a month for a ok life / 3000 usd a month for a great life and of course common sense 😊

…” it didn’t work out”…. But, things worked out beautifully for the Filipina. As, the expat watches flabbergastedly as the Filipina’s extremely grateful parents move in to the freshly built home that he paid for.

Pretty decent summary of many of the issues. I think the health issue is worth emphasising. My guesstimate is that realistically living in Phils reduces your life expectancy by 3 to 5 years. Main factors would be high rates of alcoholism and obesity among ex pats, poor medical facilities, motorbikes/traffic, murder. One has to set that against the fun of having way more choice in terms of relationships. For many the risks are worth taking, but I would recommend anyone coming here to be sure to start eating healthily and ideally do a little exercise.

Relationship issues... yeah who doesn't have that. However, what do you do when that happens to you? It depends. Get back on the horse? Up to you. My reason is adventure and exploration. I'm not dating anymore. Straight waste of my time and I don't have much time left. I walked away. Not starting relationship again. Much happier now. Please find your happiness. It doesn't have to be with someone else. All these people with relationships that work out... it is a dream. It won't happen for everyone. Do what makes you happy. There are many many places to explore. I haven't scratched the surface myself. I'm not leaving until every stone is unturned. I have a long way to go.

Thailand 🇹🇭 is way better, in many ways. But I love both.

This is great information. To guys planning to come over here. No matter who the woman is that you choose, she is going to have very close ties to her family. She will likely want to spend time with them even if you two are married. Think about how you would respond to that. I am lucky that I really like my Filipina wife's family. ALL of them. And there are a lot of them. They are from the province, and live together to make ends meet. I think this is the biggest deal breaker (second to infidelity) in terms of what I hear from expats. And Mark is right. Most relationships do not work out back home, either. Keep that in perspective.

25 years ago I married a 25 year old Filipina nurse and took her to California for 10 years. I retired and we moved back 14 years ago. We are here to stay. Our children, and my wife are joint citizens, and this is our home. We are in South Negros, rural Bayawan. Power is out at least twice a day, as is internet. I am diabetic, and I have prostate cancer. Lupron is about 4k USD per year, over a 100 km in California. I have a cancer urologist at Silliman University medical, where my son is a student, and a good diabetes doctor in Bayawan. Diet and exercise. We have 3 cars and 2 motorcycles. The plastic shield during CV19 was insane. Killed a lot of people. I am dam near deaf, and have an attorney do my immigration crap. But I am a permanent resident, just renewed for 5 more years. Have 2 fishing boats, and they fish together for redundancy safety. My wife turns 50 this week, and there will be over a hundred people at the party. Family is everything in the Philippines. PS- I was a COP in California for 40 years, and a USMC 😊

Coming up on 1 month here with my 2 dogs and I'm all in on living the rest of my life here. I sold most of my things and have 10 balakbayan boxes coming. i just found a house in Bacong with backup generator that I will move into in August. I just bought a scooter and feel that I have made the best decision of my life. I don't have a Filipino, and not looking.

America is imperfect but it's the best country you've got. Love your country like no other. Defend it; like we do. Find work that you love. Your work dignifies you.

It's August where I live. It's hot out, you have a beautiful home in the background. There are different platforms with different information. I take it to philippine a women, very jealous. American man don't wanna walk on egg shells.

just stay single and stay rich brothers. even us filipino men here are having the same problems now ---social media and the feminist culture is destroying women

Put separated on your passport . Don't get married . Live common law . Find a employed partner . Build your own medical plan by saving if over 60 . Never lend money to anyone . Never buy used vehicle from a local as they are selling means it has many problems . Never send money until you see them in person . The Philippines will consider you married after three years of common law . That's why you put separated on your passport !

I retired from the Army back in '92. If I was single at the time, I most certainly would have retired in the Philippines. But, I have a family and so I chose Guam instead. Been here ever since. Now as I approach 70, I think Guam was my best choice, although the cost of living is becoming unbearable.

Look guys, do you really want to be her 'pay piggy'? Pay for her kids, her parents, her extended family? Pay for a high priced phone, she uses to ignore you with? I try not to use the word 'simp' (a weak man, desperate for female companionship), but too many of us older gents behave like super $!mps when we come to the Philippines, or like we have no sense of self-respect, and rationalize the reasons for it to ourselves. Our lady, whomever we choose, picks up an this, and her vampire teeth spring out as she drains us financially. A female here will almost always push the financial envelope if you allow it, then often leave you laying in a proverbial ditch afterward. Ask yourself: do you REALLY want to raise and SUPPORT more kids, be a welfare plan for her extended family, or do you feel you have to do this to keep her? Would you have done the same back in your home country? Did we even want to help the poor there? If you really do want to have more kids, few things will bring you closer to your partner/spouse than having your own. Some of my friends here, one of whom recently went bankrupt before he 'suspiciously' drowned in the ocean, told me he was too old to start over, yet agreed to support his lady's 4 kids! My partner was single, no kids, when I met her and moved here at 61, and we had our daughter when I was 62. Finally, if you're uncommitted or haven't already moved, consider that the Philippines is not the only game in town, or even SE Asia. A smaller, quieter (cheaper?) country might be a better fit for you. Don't commit to a woman you never met, nor a country you've never lived in, until you been with her/lived there awhile. This is one of the most important decisions of your life, or new life. Choose wisely!

A big part of the problem are the vloggers like Mindanao Bob who misrepresent the Philippines online. They tell men how great the country is, the women are loyal, low crime, it's clean, first world medical care and cheap to live in the Philippines. The people who have never have never been to the Philippines swallow it hook, line and sinker. Those vloggers never allow anyone to say anything about the negative aspects of living in the Philippines. They tell them foreigners can own land and a house, foreigners cannot own land or a house in the Philippines. One American vlogger had a video telling foreigners he build and own a house and the land. When I put up that the law where it said foreigners can be on the contract to buy the house, they cannot be listed on the deed of ownership, he deleted my comment.

You need patience and a small ego if you are a foreigner in the Philippines. Visiting there and gathering marriage requirements has taught me well. I still get impatient at times😅

Its very important to know that there is no way to legally divorce in PH. It's also better to move to Thailand that has better infrastructure and medical care and many beautiful women. But other comments about not buying a house in wife's name apply equally in Thailand. I lost a 10 million baht house in Bangkok to my dishonest wife.

You may know this scene, a couple of days ago I came out of the beautiful mountains of Utah, and there was a Shakespeare festival in Cedar City, and it only took 90 minutes to go to Mesquite NV. 3 months here and 3 months in the Philippines work for me.

Mark, outstanding video. Great info.

Rent is not expensive Why buy?

Check out Central America. For me only 2+ hours flight to Cleveland Clinic in Weston for best medical care in the USA using medicare and high deductible supplement. Been in Nicaragua 20 years but like Guatamala for cooler temps. Wife is almost 40 years younger, we have two highly successful children, two houses one at the best surf beach the other above Managua in coffee country, housekeepers at both, two cars, golf course, etc. Live on retirement and a bit of rental income. Pura vida on a budget!

This is super extreme on building a house for her without meeting her. Don’t trust online dating.

It's a dump dirty polluted

I've been here 16 years. Don't like it at all but alternative destinations disappeared as I got older. I would call it slumming.

The Philippines is cheap, but very ghetto. I'm looking at Cambodia and Thailand mostly.

You brought up a great point, only Filipino citizens can only land in the Philippines, at least that is what I heard when I worked at Intel, their location in the Philippines is actually owned by a Filipino Citizen.

If you can Handle NYC? Seattle? California? You are good. Lived Elsewhere in your life or growing up? Easy. For older guys or military retired over 50? Great place if you are single and just want to lay back and enjoy the comforts and get some real rest and relaxation in the form of cheap healthcare, cheap massages and personal care. Don't forget to pop over to Thailand, Japan , Guam, malaysia, Vietnam, China, and other places around and backpack and travel. If your paying more than $100 bucks to live or keep your stuff there? You are doing it all wrong if living is what you want to do. Bucket Listers are going to like the place. (me for example) My personal advice is get some cheap home or apartment for rent way out in Rural Japan. Also, why Rural Japan? If you like to help out folks and stay busy? Japan is a fun place to be. They got these work vacation things where you work from 10-25 hours a week, and get free room, board, Internet etc. Its a CHEAP way to take a vacation. And great for people who don't often get around people or have trouble with that sort of thing and feel way more comfy working while being someplace. (Me)
