    Many foreigners are treated nicely until the money is gone.

    A very honest video. I have lived in the province for many years. &nbsp;The locals all know what l am doing or going to do, before l do. The locals are helpful but always seem to have a hand out. &nbsp;I have had to learn what the local price is, so that l do not to pay the foreigner price.<br>I have so many family members in the province. The family members all talk about what l am doing and what l have done. I am retired military and retire from the VA. &nbsp;I am fairly well off. &nbsp;My wife defends me and keeps me on the straight and narrow .<br>I love the Philippine Islands. &nbsp; I also love my privacy. I love the people but l feed smothered at times. Still l look forward to returning very soon.<br>God bĺess America 🇺🇸. <br>God bless Texas 🙌 🙏.

    There once was an expat from Santa Cruz,<br>In the Philippines met a girl named Luz.<br>Spending money he could not refrain,<br>As his bank accounts would completely drain,<br>In the end he drowned all his sorrows with booze.

    Going there soon and your insightful story telling was loved by me. &nbsp;But in America we are not “invisible” it’s just there aren’t enough places to meet.

    Andrea, thanks for providing this story/advice to older expats. &nbsp;It is great advice. &nbsp;I&apos;m an old Pinoy Retiree who obtained the &quot;American Dream&quot;. &nbsp;I&apos;m happily married to a beautiful white girl, and we have been blessed with 3 wonderful children (2 Mestizos &amp; 1 Mestiza) and 12 GKs. &nbsp;Expats should listen to and accept your wise advice and become happy residents. &nbsp; Keep Up the Faith and Fire, Manchu. &nbsp;God Bless. &nbsp;Wishing you much continued success.

    Videos aggrandizing PH regulated by Filipinos &amp; the PH Department of Tourism desperate to attract more foreigners in PH will not say that poor young Filipinas love the old foreigners money only &nbsp; rich young Filipinas are not everywhere &nbsp;they&apos;re where the rich young locals are and are not after old foreigners &nbsp;&amp; will also not say that foreigners in PH can&apos;t even own small portions of lands full business ownership and have very limited rights &nbsp;PH is Paradise on earth for rich Filipinos only

    Though I heard of the Philippines often and fondly as a child (one of my grandfathers served on MacArthur&apos;s staff during the Second World War, then stayed to help prepare the Philippine army for independence), this is the first video I&apos;ve seen that makes me actually want to visit, perhaps even move to the country.<br>Thank you, Andrea, for your sincerity and persuasive commentary.

    Government stats indicate there maybe 14 Million to 15 Million Single Mothers in the Philippines who have children.....And this is despite the majority of Filipinos being classed as &nbsp;Catholic ....There is definitely some sort of breakdown in Filipino Society for the numbers to be so large so who could blame any women in this position who may try to latch onto a Westerner who may possibly offer more loyalty and security no matter what method they use ....🤔

    Many of us have been married and paid the price. Marriage to anyone will never happen again. Being struck by a meteor tomorrow is far more probable. A nice comfortable life in a committed relationship is no problem, contracts, nope, never going to happen with this guy.

    Sounds like a very informative video. &nbsp;A lot of men are too quick to get involved with a woman.
