WHY we chose PHILIPPINES over CANADA, do we regret it? | Q&A 

Thanks for submitting all your questions! Should we do more sit down and Q+A's like this? If so, what topic would you like us to talk about next? :)

Same here I live abroad but my ultimate dream is to settle back to the Philippines. You guys are inspiration. Not eveyone has the guts to pursue this path because we all know it ‘s a gamble. I hope it’s not too late for me. Love you both.

You guys really bring some level of sincerity that's not easy to replicate. Guard it, cherish it. It'll go a long way!

It is very nice that both of you decided to move back to the Philippines and there is no need to worry about winter especially when shoveling outdoors, removing snow and ice from your vehicle and all the hassles during winter especially when it is also slippery outdoors in Canada.

Love the advice about “making it work” and “choosing each other no matter what”.. so relatable with my 9 year partner, who is now my husband! 💕💕💕

Thank you for such an insightful vlog! Looking forward to more adventures in the Philippines. Yes, true love is choosing the same person over and over again, no matter what. Me and my husband have been together for 19 years, since high school and we are each other's first. ❤️

Our families in Canada, been here over 50 years, first scarey, new environment, but we get use to the Blizzards, good people, few odd people , just ignore them, Stay safe, healthy, pray, stay positive, you guys are smart, young

Me and my boyfriend has been a fan of you guys since your Siargao vlog last year!! We've been watching your vlogs all throughout the year last year and was so excited when I finally went back home in PH last December. Most of our trips are influenced by you guys!!! Looking forward to your adventure this year and hopefully to see you guys on the road someday!!

"At the end of the day we choose together" ❤️❤️❤️loveyou guys so inspiring!😍

New subscriber here ...When so many Filipinos are leaving home for greener pastures you guys decided to go home. I've seen a lot of vloggers with this content and it is inspiring.. Welcome home guys 🇵🇭

Jan had an "aha!" moment, Jen had an "Ahehe!" moment. i just love you guys.

Agree that love is really a choice you have to make every single day. Love you both! Hope to catch you in one of your travels.

My question was chosen! Ohmy. It was November when I first watch your vlog and since then, I've been a fan. I cannot wait to see more "another day, another adventure". I'm from Ilocos Norte and finding out you two will be there, really made my day! Happy traveling. More power!

Dude put a ring on it.

I am an RN in the US and after 18 yrs working there, I made a drastic decision to move back to Phil 4 yrs ago with my 8 y/o son then and we are loving our simple life esp me, I get to enjoy taking care of him. No stress from working long hours, double jobs and the racism😬. The only thing is you really have to save up before settling here in the Phil because the expenses is not a joke here as well. I never subscribe to any couple vloggers but when I watched you guys, I just love the way you talk, you think, you plan everything about you. Wishing you both a safe an enjoyable life here in the Ph. Btw, my son is 12 now and never want to go back to US anymore🤦🏽‍♀️😆.

I enjoyed listening to your relationship advice especially when the partner decides to choose someone else and it is better to move on. Moving on is better but it is also not easy but to take things slowly at a time especially healing, trying new arts, crafts, hobbies, spending time with family, friends, traveling, meeting new people until the people meet their Mr. Right / Ms. Right / The One. When that person whom the family and friends of the other person likes and if they are also meant for each other and also have the same interests, trying to work things out, still love each other very much, no matter what and get married to The One.

I remember when you guys were in the Philippines doing a Q&A at the table, and you was so excited about getting your first payment from RU-vid, and now look at you, 12k subs already, congrats to you both, you deserve it 😃👍🏼👍🏼

it's almost like years since i start watching youtube, but this vlog or you guys are the only youtuber that I appreciated. The way you guys are open to us and even being transparent. :)

I know this vlog is already a year old but I really enjoyed watching all your vlogs napunta na ako dito sa Q&A 😂 In a world full of Filipinos na gustong magpunta ng Canada, it's really refreshing to see naman Fil-Canadians who want to live in the Philippines instead. I hope to see you around while you're travelling! I will definitely say hi! More success for you two. 😊

So happy to discover your channel today. Gives me extra motivation to rise again and pursue my ultimate goal of living in the Philippines. I did it pre covid. I was sick of living in Canada where all I do is work (mental health and addictions nurse in Toronto), live a meaningless life, live around people with victimhood/woke mentality (lol) and the day to day life experiences here doesn't really make u feel alive unlike in the Philippines. I opened 6 businesses (4 gyms, 2 restaurants) in the Philippines (started in 2018) Took me 2 years to do it, filed for LOA and went back to Philippines end of 2019 but covid happened had to close my businesses and fly back to Toronto. Luckily I have not quit my job yet. Moving to the Philippines is really doable, if you can open businesses or can find remote work, make money online. If you can take care of your source/s of income moving can be easy. 2.5K cad a month budget in the Philippines will give you a comfortable life. I am planning to re-open my businesses maybe end of this year. My goal is to live in the Philippines. Been in Canada for 17 years. I feel like I want my kids to experience life in the Philippines where everyday I was excited to wake up. More power to u two!

Congrats guys on the success on youtube! Silver Button soon! Would love to meet both of you! Take care on the trip back to the Philippines. Came across your channel because I was planning to travel to Boracay this year. Anyway, lighting, video qualitiy and sound quality was so good! Galing niyo magedit! :) more power to your channel!

Saw your Enchanted Kingdom vlog and now I'm here! This Q&A really made me clicked on the subscribe button 🤍 you guys are just full of positive vibes, made me smile and laugh with you guys as well 😂 Will be watching more of your vlogs! Kudos to you both! Stay strong and enjoy!

I was wondering the whole day when you will have a new video. Voila! You guys are perfection. More vlogs please before you go back to the Philippines.

I just found your channel and very inspiring indeed. The part about “mental health” is very true, there are several vloggers who feel the same way that you guys do 😊😃

Lovely... ❤ there's a lot of travel vlogger now in the Philippines especially foreigners but I think as the biggest social media user we should support more our own kababayan...eat, travel and be merry 👍😁 🤣

*_Wow, thank you for answering my question. Sorry I just watched the video, hehe... was too busy to youtube._* 😅

“You are not better than anyone, and nobody is better than you

Whenever i watch your vlog, im like watching Luis Manzano and Jessy Mendiola. You are the Fil-Can version of these lovely couple. Honestly speaking, accidentally i became your subscriber because i thougjt the video that popped up less than a month ago was theirs, but it was different. I was amused with your vlog. Its so cool.

Your fans from Winnipeg, Canada, you guys are awesome young couple, I know how you guys did on all Countries covid protocols, Are expensive, scarey, too much energy, you are awesome , good example to all travellers, google, search, restrictions to follow, God bless you both, There’s no place like home, More blessings for both of you, 2022

Wait til you get to visit Iloilo and Negros provinces. Alot of scenic places and tons of mouth-watering local cuisine to enjoy. God bless!

I'm a Filo Canadian too and choose to live in the Philippines because of the same reasons.

Finally!! 😃 always visiting your channel and IG accounts to see when you’re gonna upload this video! ☺️ Happy to know more about you guys! 😊 Parang I’m gonna watch this again tomorrow. Hahaha 😂

I love Canada Jann and Ann I'm from there Edmonton to be exact The last time I was in Canada I think was in 2009 a long time ago Philippines isn't too bad either where there is a lot of snow in Canada there is a lot of rain it's the Philippines version of snow 🌨️

I’ve met many young Filipinos who were born or raised outside the Philippines all brought up well. Many are quite modest and kind and so different from the kids who were educated in Philippine elite schools. I remember when I went home one time and worked with recently graduated students from the top schools in Manila and could not believe how they discriminated fellow Filipinos. One even laughed at me for having stayed in New Jersey. I lived in New York, but she looked down on me when I said my family lived in New Jersey. Could not believe how ignorant she was and how she acted all snooty.

When you go to La Union, visit Jericho Rosales (actor) surfing beach and Bauang beach

Love you both 💕 Jan your funny & Ann your always lovely everyday.... Take care and keep the love 💗 burning. Keep safe on your travel next week and spend the Valentines on the plane ✈️ . I'll be looking forward the Palawan tour.

Hi Jan and and Ann, really great Q&A tonight and really enjoy your channel and journey that lead you both free to travel and enjoy your company and show us in always a positive light the Philippines and recently Canada. I fell in love with the Philippines seeing Manila first then the stark contrast in Boracay shocked at first by the poverty. During the pandemic I got to see many places you traveled and enjoyed every minute seeing this and your great friendship with each other. Best wishes and safe travels from Melbourne tonight.

Very nice q&a. Very helpful and good advice. Thanks for sharing. New friend from Canada. See you

I have this feeling that the sole reason why you are moving to the Philippines is because you want to just be vloggers and start a career in vlogging in the Philippines. You will not last here for that. The Philippines is totally different from Canada. Cities here where everything is accessible are most of the time congested, polluted, and noisy, whereas in provinces that are cleaner and quieter, most of the time inconvenient when it comes to goods and basic necessities.

Wow that will be a Big Transformation to move back to Filipino roots! Though if you have some Family in Philippines it is Good like Uncles & Aunties to can assist you to buy a Homestead " Home Sweet Home " Love it ! I reckon as long as you can speak" Filipino Tagalog" !

Love you two! ❤

Thanks!

Love you both ❤ Stay safe always and Take care!

Looking forward to your return to the Philippines. My wife and I looking forward to our our future retirement in the Philippines ( Batangas.) We’re hoping you can visit the beaches along the Verde Island Strait in Batangas and Puerto Galera, Mindoro. It is our go to place for vacation and solace. We think you would enjoy it too. Eh?

Hello lovely couple..wish you have a safe journey.. enjoy always nakaka good vibes ang awra nyo dalawa..❤
