"Even the dogs are relax" "there's no time for dementia and alzheimer's " He's living the life. He's a smart guy! Love my country !!
-
In the Philippines, kids are taught one thing, "Family is the foundation of society, that your first and last refuge is Family".
-
I'm an American married to a Philippina and split my time between the US and Iloilo. What you said is 1000% accurate. I could not have said it better myself. I wish you lots of more happiness.
-
It’s true the culture of respect for elders is highly valued in the Philippines and it’s the opposite in western countries. You’re considered disposable when you get older in the US.
-
I couldn’t agree more. I am a Filipino working in a nursing home facility here in US. This man is healthier than old folks I take care of in my facility. Older people gets worst in nursing home. He still has a sharp mind and perfectly fit to raise toddlers. I happy to see western men like this in the Philippines, in a family oriented culture and enjoying it. I hate to see Americans sent into nursing homes. Most nursing homes treated them badly.
-
In America, if you're old, you're for disposal. In Phil's., if got old the more you'll get love. That is our culture.
-
Im a filipino but have t admire this guy immense knowledge of ou culture both in a positive and negative ways. I'm wishing him the best of everything ahead of him. Enjoying the life with his new kid.
-
He's 71 but look young in his age,maybe he is so relaxed in the Philippines😊
-
This American is a sensible person. I am happy to know he finds a good life here in the Philippines.
-
I noticed that older population received more respect in the Philippines. During my vacation in Bohol, when I applied for my SSS ID at a local government office, the Staff gave prompt attention and even asked me to be served first than other younger applicants. I'm still back in the US enjoying my retirement since when I was 60 years old traveling to Europe and Middle Eastern countries 5 times a year. Hopefully I might definitely settle back to the Philippines.
-
I can listen to this man all day he is very sensible and full of wisdom😊
-
There’s no such thing as a perfect country but I am convinced that this American made a great decision to choose the Philippines.
-
I didn't expect that I would finish this whole interview! It was nice to listen to his insights about the Philippines.
-
wow, I'm from Korea and what this gentleman says is actually what I had experienced in the Philippines.. He was able to put it into words so accurately. Racism is also one thing that I don't think is present. In Philippines, they even treat people from other countries with respect, sometimes even higher respect compared to other locals
-
I am planning on moving back in the Philippines. I’ve been there so many times and everytime I visit the country, I love it even more. I love Filipino food and the beaches are amazing.
-
You can judge by the man's aura. He's a genuinely nice, positive, vibrant, open-minded person that every Filipino would love to have living in the country. He clearly understands the culture and the people. He obviously gets it. He really does. 🇵🇭💙❤️

It is the evidence that the Philippines preserving the cultures for humanity with good manners and right Conduct in every corner of the world having a Filipino and their Christian Culture

When you sing badly, people will just smile and sing with you. Heck, you sing badly, I sing badly, let’s all sing badly and still have a good time with it! - fellow American
