Meet Adam, an American who has been visiting the Philippines for 7 years in a row and has now settled here with his Filipino wife. But as a digital nomad, he has traveled to almost every country in Southeast Asia. Adam told me about the dating culture in the Philippines, how to make friends with locals, and why Filipinos don’t like to move out from their parents. Enjoy!

I am from the Philippines and British passport holder. I worked abroad (UAE/Scotland/Norway) since 1978. In 2022 I returned here in the Philippines to retire. Bought a condo in Manila and just finished building my 7 bedrooms all en-suite retirement home in the province 2 hours drive by car from Manila. I adopted my eldest sister and her husband who are in their 80's and do not have children and only finished grade 5 in school. I also adopted my younger sister whose contract was terminated in Dubai because of Covid. If I will not allow them to live with me in the provinces - they will end up begging in the streets! I also built a pet area for their rescued 50 plus dogs and cats from Dubai and Manila. The Bible says we are the extension of God's helping hands. Do you think I will have a peaceful sleep thinking my sister's are begging in the streets while I am enjoying the fruits of my hardwork abroad? My conscience tells me to help them and God will pay me back - and I thank God I am blessed to be a blessing to my family who ended up poor to no fault of their own. I am Westernised in my thinking but I kept the compassion in my heart.

Filipino resilience has resulted in no change and no progress in the PHI for 75+ years. Othere S-E Asia countries have confronted challenges and moved forward and provided a better life for its people (Vietnam, Cambodia, and even Thailand and Malaysia). Filipinos accept mediocrity and that is what they get. Resilienc is a double blade sword.

I’m married to a Filipina for 31 years in the states and now our son is married to a Filipina also. I find them to be very compatible, fun, and sweet people. The way they treat people will make you love them. It’s the best country in Asia for an American and most westerners, from my experience. I can relate to the idea that they are similar enough to feel at home around them but different enough to be interesting and fun. This is the same for spouses also. You will always feel the magnetism yet they will be more compatible than any person you ever dated. Granted, you have to pick the right one, however this compatibility, combined with the nuances are gifts that keep on giving.

The new generations now a days the majority of the Filipinos family don't live with their family. Some of them have to leave the nest to find a better job and a better life but the one thing that haven't change is helping their families when they can. I love the dynamics of a filipino family we take care of our elders no matter what and we always take care of each other.

thats correct, most reasons people cant leave home is because its expenisve to move out. Its not actually unique in the Philippines also, staying with mom or dad for ages also exists in many other places, even in the west. not this video completely, but too many videos always pushing the narrative of stay with family versus leave and move out, too many old things that arent old anymore, things change and evolve, and besides that its simply too expenisve. plenty people can comment and say they bought and built this and that and helped this and that, good for them.

@@charlesjosephdiputado804 I was born and raised in Silay City, surrounded by sugarcane. I've worked here in Batangas for 25 years as a sociology professor at a premier State University. What you are saying is not a culture but failed parenting plus illiteracy. No offense to women married to foreigners, but most women married by foreigners, especially those older expats, are uneducated women. People with a sense of pride, even poor people, don't rely on their family members. This is why education is very important... One of my brothers-in-law, a farmer, refused to take money from me and my siblings and only asked us to help finance his children's education if we had extra money. Now, he has two engineers, a teacher, and a seafarer. When prioritized, education can change everything. Those who rely on their family members for everyday needs have no plan for their future. Despite having 4 working professional children, my brother-in-law still works in the sugarcane field. He will be retiring this November.

just to give you context, the past Filipinos are mostly nomads. Thats why we have "bayanihan", where houses can be carried anytime theres a need to move. aside from that, the Philippine land is pretty rich, early people were originally farmers, they make a lot of kids to help with the farm, thats basically why the Philippines have extreme family ties... not to mention, in the past, wealth can be measured by the number of kids you have or how big your clan is.

I love how he explained the culture more than the "dating" aspect. He appreciates wife not because she is Filipina but because she is wonderful as a person. I love how he did not encourage people to go to Philippines just to date and get married. I know people wanna retire and find a wife here but that's not the only thing Philippines can offer. There are misconceptions about women here. Foreigners thought Filipinas are submissive like any other asian countries do. Filipinas have values different from neighboring countries cause we have mix of west and east culture. Filipinas are family oriented like asians are and ambitious and confident like westerners are. They will not bow on you because are a man. They will like you because you are worthy husband.

One thing id say about the philippines, for expats from any country, is that when it comes to judicial acts that concern visa/residency/owning condominium/part ownership of corporations/business is that it is very easy. There's tons of successful koreans/chinese/indians/americans here who came from nothing and built themselves up and have fully assimilated. That's the kind of freedom you get because after all, our constitution and laws are patterned after the US. You don't get that kind of opportunity in other places in asia, nor the worse antagonism that exists in other asian countries.

Exposure is not the problem of learning about other cultures in ds high tech generation, but d most important is that " the Filipinos are good at being flexible and willing to accommodate others".They are open at others.

It was my first time to travel overseas (I went to Taiwan btw) last May and I am finally getting why foreigners say we are warm or welcoming. The knowledge of English certainly helps a lot but I think we smile more often and are easier to get closer to? You can see this reflected even in the service business. I have a very small sample size but in the hotel we stayed at and restaurants we went to, the service people were polite but very curt in their interactions with customers. I am not sure if we Filipinos smile way too much or the Taiwanese smile very little. It made me appreciate our people more.

saying "You're welcome" in the philppines is pretty normal. If I ever go back I'll probably feel more comfortable saying it in English than Tagalog.

In the Province english is not popular like in the city and many do not speak it in the province. But you can still find people who can speak english in the province, just not as many in the city.

I watched you vid and in a few seconds I got disappointed. Not because youre American, but its because youre staying in one of the rich only side of the Philippines. I recommended If you really love to stay in the Philippines, spend your life in the countryside outside the big city. Thats where the best way you can live your life to the fullest.

From my experience Filipino parents don't particularly want kids to stay with them. But parents feel obligated to offer their support as long as the kids need them financially.

Every Filipino parent would love their kids to stay with them until they die. I actually have an uncle whose 2 children lived with them even if both children are already married and have kids of their own. I have kids of my own and I already told my college kid that she can stay with us even if she is already working.

On the contrary Filipino,parents prefer that their children stay with them. The working children can contribute to the house expenses.

If he is calling out Filipinos for not moving out from their parents' house, why is he living with his in-laws? Digital nomads should be aware that the Philippines would be releasing a2-year Digital Nomad Visa soon. Aside from the usual fees, some of the requirements are; Minimum Income Requirement - you must meet a minimum income requirement (amount to be set in the future), Health Insurance Coverage - you must have an international health insurance policy with coverage in the Philippines for the duration of your stay, Clean Criminal Record - you must have a clean criminal record. Fake digital nomads with no regular income and no real company will be weeded out and banished from the Philippines. That will be an additional law that authorities can use to arrest illegal workers using tourist visas.
