@ramonsbar11 My brother said they offered him the house in the video for 3M pesos, which is 3 br 2 bath which is in a gated compound. The house that I've living in (way out in the boondocks, 2 br 1 bath) the owner is asking 1.5 M Of course all prices are negotiable.

@zeproo Typical stereotyping! I've lived in the Philippines and yessss, I have known of a lot of foreigners who couldn't keep their pants zipped up. The culture there is very old-fashioned and family means everything. If you betray your wife then you should expect to lose it all. Simple justice, I guess. Thanks for your nice clips, MagicMaximo.

[zeproo]

Sure that. I think depending the people you deal with you will be very happy for the rest of your life.

@zeproo I'm sure those things happen, but I like to focus on all the good and positive things about the Philippines, which there are many.

@MagicMaximo Ahhhh A wise foreigner :-) Thats great. My GF is also Filipina since 7 years, however all those years I was there I saw many things. The most striking was a black American who built 3 houses. He was asked to bring his 17 y old niece to Manila, family told niece to seduce him and family cought him with the niece in bed. There were some witnesses, court ruled adultery and he lost his 3 houses. Set up of the family. Gosh.

@PapaRobbU2 Yes, Robb, I've been living here on the island of Cebu, Philippines for about 7 months, now. I think the culture is fascinating and It's my pleasure to share the "behind the scenes" life here. I'm glad you like the vids.

@zeproo I guess you're assuming I'm a rich old Amerikano with a young Filipina girlfriend. In reality I married my Filipina wife when she was 20 and I was 22. Now She is 60 and I am 62....40 years of a happy marriage. I speak fluent Tagalog and conversational Cebuano. Please don't stereotype all foreigners here in the Philippines. And by the way, we are renting.

Hope you rent and not buy. In Philippine consitution is clearly written that foreigners never can own property nor land, except condominium IF +50 % of owners are philipino. I've seen many foreigners lose their hard earned money over there, marry a filipina, built house, she makes his life miserable get lazy, no sex , the foreigner goes with another girl, they split up and the juge give her all the properties. Its a sport over there. Sigh, when will they ever learn.
