My husband is from Florida. We are living simple here in the Phillipines 7 years from now

Western life especially here in America is exhausting. Every day you're on the go. I miss my simple, slow paced life in the Philippines.

jason seems like a real stand up guy. good looking with a good perspective and positive outlook on life. i hope he ends up doing well and continues to enjoy the philippines. also great interview btw.

Patience is one thing, efficiency is another which is something that business and government services should improve on.

Philippines peoples are the the kindness I ever met ...that's why I comeing always...and I marry Philipina

Filipinos like to appreciate n be appreciated. Staring is trying to get attention for interaction. In america i was shocked wt this experience: after dining in a restaurant, i forgot to leave the tips in the table and the waiter run after me outside of the door to ask for the tips payment, worse wto a smile- it was embarassing as she said it loudy. That is worse than the qeue in the pharmacy in my opinion. Further, in america its hard to find people smiling at you wt authenticity. In the phil, its everywhere.thats i dont wish to live in the usa. I agree wt jason that phil is safer than in th US. Here, you dont experience shooting spree in public, even though like in america, filipinos do carry guns too but more responsible. I have been an expat in other countries too, the key of living happily is adapting n harmonizing to local culture. If its very annoying, then you hv to think further n weigh options..

Happy to see you enjoy the Philippines, Alex! God Bless you and your future endeavours!

I spent 3 weeks in Pangasinan and I agree 100% that the people are amazing! I didn't look like anyone else there and nobody ever made me feel uncomfortable in fact everyone was warm, welcoming and extremely nice to me. Always smiling and saying hello to me.

Thank you Jason for a kind words.. And Alex when you interviewing people you really know how to ask questions very interesting to watch..👍🤗

JR answered those questions very honestly in my opinion. I agree the roads in the Philippines would be a nightmare for me to drive as I am not a very good driver myself but since my mother has drove in the Philippines prior to coming to Hawaii and getting her license here she is a really good driver and has barely gotten into severe accidents. Yes service seems to be slower too in the Philippines but the same can be said about Hawaii compared to other states. Yes I would say Filipinos are very caring but it’s amazing that friends would take off just to take care of someone who is sick because you won’t even see that happening in Hawaii!

Keep doing what you’re doing cause it help others to learn and understand more about the Philippines.

he is the one with the most accurate answer, he is right, usually the Westerners lack of patience because it is not the habit of Filipinos to complain and panic immediately about what is happening around them because respect and understanding is important to Filipinos

Let me put it this way the philippines is like America in the 1950-1960’s

Great interview, Alex - watching from California, USA, where I grew up❣️ My American husband of over twenty-five years plan to revisit my beautiful birth country - hopefully soon and wishes to buy a property there. Also, I hope Jason (JR) finds what he's looking for in a girl since he seems friendly and well-grounded, and so are you, Alex! I wish you both the best of luck❣️

Thats why we have a lot of nurses in the philippines.

I like contents like this one where honest opinions about all sorts of things are talked about whether positive or negative😊 Great job dude😁

I fully agree with Jason about living safe there in the Philippines, compared to what is happening in American cities. Thanks Jason for all the good words, describing positives being there. Your channel is great, promoting good vibes to all your viewers. God bless

Awesome interview Alex I agree Philippines does test your patience. Filipinos are definitely caring and the women here are better little to no worries here that is very true 🆒😎🆒👍 safe and sound

Thanks Alex for this video. Jason’s view of a typical American living in the Philippines 🇵🇭 makes me want to move there. That is my dream The more you post the more I want it. Keep them coming. 19.1k subscribers and counting. Way to go.

"You lose when you're the first one who says I love you". I think this struck me most about his answers. Generally, here, the guys would be the first ones to say that and the one who loses is the one who let go of true love. Senior citizens, PWD's and pregnant women are given priority here and they have a separate queue.

Interesting to hear his views. Thank you. Great interview.

Shout out from another Destin native who just returned from PI… I’ll be back in December ❤️ love it there !

you hit the nail on the head with the patience thing. your patience really gets tested

Thats awesome reaction to the PHILIPPINES thank's 🇵🇭

While referencing lines, and quirky procedures in places of business I think in the US it's more about efficiency,. People tend to use it as part of measuring the quality of service as they compare one business to another in terms of value. A good business will critique and personalize its service putting emphasis on the customer experience as it relates to the value of their (the customer's) time. It can also be a basic cost-effective competitive way to differentiate a business to win customers over but then again America is a different place. Embracing the flow of the culture and accepting certain aspects related to the various social norms I would imagine is appreciated and shows a level of respect and a willingness to adapt and enjoy the lifestyle and warmth within the community.

Nice one. Hope u have alot like this in the future. Interviewing foreigners in the philippines. Very interesting

congratulations on 19k getting closer :)

In the Philippines gone are my migraines and chest pains, in the US felt like walking on eggshells at work, my 11 mile drive to work whether the freeway or surface roads takes me an hour times 2 in a day, was a frequent visitor at ER's for angina, always multitasking even shave while driving.

Great interview ! Do more, Thank You.

Really like this interview. Jason seems to be a very down to earth guy. Seems very real. As long as you give respect to each other’s culture that’s all that matter.

He lives a few hours north of me in the Panhandle. I'm in Tampa which is west central Florida. Great video and interesting to hear his thoughts. 👍

I enjoyed this interview. please keep them coming ☺️☺️

Been in Sabang on Mindoro since Apr.Love the diving here,cooking my own food solves any stomach issues,my apartment is 10,000 PHP a month with sea views from the balcony. Prior to Philippines,I spent 4 months in pattaya, Thailand.My spending was triple to what I do here.

OMG! He is good looking.😍😍😍. Watching from my Smart TV. I remember an actor who looks like him. His name is John Cusack but a younger version.

I'm sharing this to my social media :) My Handsome Scorpio ♏ man ^^ One of the reasons why I decided to do real estate was when he asked me to do a job for him -buy all the stuffs for his newly turned-over rental property in the Philippines. I'm sure you'll find her-the one. You'll be a very lucky man for sure especially if she's a Filipina (in love) & am sure she will be too. 💑 Man, why don't you start your own KZfaq channel?

Interesting video Alex.

Very nice conversation... 👍❤️

the fact that you're wearing the football team that I'm supported since I was a kid...I'm your new subscriber ..

I live down the road from Jason in Pensacola. Small world

East coast is represented well by you Bruh! Great interview!

Salamat sir Jason and sir Alex. ❤🙏

Filipino stared because we are amazed about their looks we find them so beautiful creature☺️and we wish we have this kind of looks like pointe nose slim body and tall ☺️

4:00 yup traffic is the worst. Specially in metro manila. As they say, when you know how to drive in manila..you can drive everywhere. 😅 Bumper to bumper traffic.

Jason Robert is really a cutie,,,a lot of filipinas and filipinas by heart would like him,,,,😊😊😊

Wow!

I agree most people here are very kind and yes patience is very important. The one negative thing for me is the trash problem. People litter everywhere. They pollute the land and the water. There is no discipline when it comes to littering 🚮

Jason is my big brother! Love this. New sub for sure! Great content!

Accurate answers

He said he was thinking of staying in Florida? It’s so crazy expensive here now. And as much as I think people in Manila drive recklessly, it’s worse in Miami. popular vlogger couple mike and nelly moved from Miami to Manila and in their visit here, even found the $100 parking crazy.

cool

Ciol. I subscribed haha

Jason is cool 😎

I have rental property in Hawaii and semi retired also. I have a condo in alcoves at ayala paid less than ₱14500000 for my unit no I stay there part time

ayay kaila ko ani friend mani Niño iyang Kuya Jason hehe

Really great video! My gf is from Ph. I am from the States. Any advice on finding reasonable flight tickets? I am really hoping to finally meet my gf in person.

cool, like this guys honest assessment. Patience is important. you will get use to it. As long as you appreciate a simple life, you can live like you are in paradise. Maharlika!

Time is slow in the Philippines

Here in hongkong too you keep waiting once you buy in supermarket even this country grow up but the staff very slow to move

I don't call the philipina old fashion at all they just still have family values

We are so spoiled..........

❤

Hey, I was waiting for you to ask how is Jason's friend doing--the one who brought him to the Philippines?

Lol time is the biggest difference between US and Philippines over there the clock ticks at thirty minutes behind sometimes a day behind lol

Jason looks like young Mark Read of A1 boy band. 😊😊😊

I have one question about moving to the Philippines. If I keep my US bank account and credit cards, I'll need to receive a code on my US phone. I'm thinking that I could keep a US phone with roaming turned on.

Did you record this video in Cebu?

About Iloilo, well...that's true. I can only count by my fingers the western expats living there. One thing fosure though, if ya stayed there long enough and the locals got used to ya...you'll get a lot of new friends and free beers instead of stares.

Could you do a video on COVID restrictions to get in to the Philippines??

where are you from originally ?

I'm from Ottawa, Canada. Even if cashiers work as zombies, I will stay in PH for now, because out of my 1500 CAD pension I have to pay rent of 1100 + electric+ internet, leaving me with 300 for everything else.

Just be careful of dangerous scammers out there

How the hell is he retiring at this age already? Anyone caught how he makes his passive income?

My biggest problem here in the Philippines is that it is a dirty country. The people do not care about keeping the streets clean. They just throw garbage down when they are done with it. That is my only complaint I have about this country.

What hotel in Cebu are you staying at ,is it nice there ?

Filipinos in general LOVE gringos...I read somewhere that when prior to being released from being an ill begotten US territory, the population so was enthralled with gringo culture that it was on verge of petitioning for statehood, which spooked the US Govt. Most Filipinos I have found have a 1950s image of the US . The irony of Asia is that more advanced countries now are pursuing Spanish as a second language. The Philippines has rejected it's Spanish heritage and stubbornly sticks in favor of Anglocentrism.

Lol. Have you been to New York? Traffic? Long lines? Crazy people?

They said they would take off from work to take care of you. Anything is better than working, right? Also if you're lonely here and want a long conversation just find some one whose supposed to be working and they'll talk as long as you want because they're getting paid to do it.

Interesting interview. Some of my colleagues from the Philippines say Stop knocking Western culture & also that Jason doesn't look 'Caucasian' as he put it & so why would he get stared at.☘✌

I love Philippines! Is my favourite vacation destination, BUT Philippines is not perfect like some people who live there make it out to be. I will respond a couple of questions where I have a different perspective: - What do you dislike about Philippines? Blackouts (mostly in the province), hospitals too expensive (In Canada is free), too much gossip, typhoon/hurricane, taxis trying to scam you, many branded products (western brands) are more expensive than Canada, watching NBA games very early in the morning. I agree about the lineups, but about the traffic only in Manila is very bad. I forgot a funny one, public washroom, you gotta bring your own toilet paper everywhere you go. - Do you feel safe in the Philippines? If you compare it to the USA of course Philippines is more safer, but if you compare it to Canada of course Canada is more safer. But overall I consider Philippines a safe country. Of all the countries I’ve been only Canada and Cuba are safer, all the rest Philippines is safer.

If that's how friendly Filipinos are, hopefully that's how friendly you are as well talking to Filipino call center agents. This is not for you but for all foreigners who's racist and cursing once hearing accent coming from Philippines and India. 😔😔 It's not our fault that you guys are expensive and we're not. 😔😔😔

This guy looks like Shia lebouf

I like the Philippines but Manila is too crowded and needs a lot of fixings

Liverpool FC?

You could slow down a bit in the way you talk, you're eating and packing up too much words in ugly rapidity in your sentences they inevitably end up dizzying!

If someone will stare at you, stare back. Staring in the Phils is normal, Lets see, who' s gonna win.😂😂

If people filipinos is the nicest and kindness people in the world and why there is one of the highest crime rate country in the world?and if you observe in any places in the philippines like provinces its not so many foreigners coz philippines is not attractive for foreigners from wages,transportation,etc. Not all things here are cheap but ofcourse a people from western world will think its cheap bec.of there salaries ratio but here ordinary filipinos salaries to buying powers is very far from western world so how can things here can be the same with western world in the prices and if you are poor here you are nothing unlike in a rich country there is govt intervation

Having filipinas stare at you is fun. unless you're 70, years old like me and you have 70 year old women staring at you.

He forgot to mention the poverty and sex trade! Such a wonderful place, parents will pay people to marry their children and bring them to America. I’ve been there, it is great for westerners who have money, you can do as you please. But it made me feel as if I was taking advantage of poverty. Rich white dudes aren’t moving to the Philippines because the people are nice, we all know why they move there!!!

Why does this remind me of Beefcake hunter? 😭

He seems “normal” compared to other undesirable kanos

Unsafe because of the President? Why? What's wrong with our President?

AFAM daw labas mga filipina HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Dudes way overpaying for massages.

You cannot compare the two countries because US is very big with over 330M in population. It is way ahead in terms of economics for a long long time. The population also comprises of mix races from so many countries, in other words multi racial. What's the point of comparing it with the Philippines. Not in the same wavelength. Philippines should be compared with other Asian countries and not with that giant western country.

Don’t try to mislead kanos into saying it’s perfectly safe u have no idea

nice interview.. Jason is very handsome.. hope you'll find the love of your life and dont be afraid to say "i love you" first..
