Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.
Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.

I am very thankful for your informative topics as i never knew the real definition of Passport Bros. Red Pill & MGTOW and i have never seen that movie the Matrix. I have heard those terms mentioned but NEVER explained by anyone before until you did. Thank You Hermano.
Very good explanation for Red pulled.
And Mgtow.
I never saw the first ro as Oath keepers…
But could reasonably see the Mgtow
Thing as men alerted to the reality of our current American culture.
You did a great job explaining the concept.
Especially the fact that if a man is in a relationship he Must lead it..
Key point…
It’s been a while since I’ve heard the term Promise Keepers
Nicely explained. But. Yes, but. There are extremists in all groups, probably more in these, it’s hard to think of women kindly. There just can’t be a significant number of extremists in either group. It may look that way because the successful ones keep their mouth shut and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Hence these groups cannot be dismissed, especially as they benefit so many people.
The bitter red pill type of man will die lonely and miserable. It’s better to just heal up and move on, leave the past behind and try to find a sincere one.
Reekay, from my understanding of ” passport Brothers ” has nothing to do with putting done Women or being disrespectful. Passport Brothers is a
Reference to Black American Men who are fed up with all the bs modern American Women offer. They are Men who decided to get their passports and seek traditional Women from other countries. Their not anti women. Their just anti feminist American Women. Their not travelling to other countries because they hate all Women. Most of the passport brothers are good men. Not saying there are no aholes, but mostly good brothers looking for traditional women.
Good, solid analysis, as usual.
You might not be in touch with how bad it’s gotten here in the west. lol. I can understand why so many men get into that mindset. I’m trying to save up to go overseas, but I understand the guys here who think it’s just women’s inherent nature. It really does seem that way.
Also can’t agree with you on the marine thing. Maybe simp isn’t the right word, but military men getting raked over the coals by women more than any other men right now.
A really good video and if you fail there..It may not be the islands…but the person that wants to be expat there and their “persona”, and lack of “common sense” that is the true problem. Realism and dreams are another big problem to men wanting to interact and live there, as there are far too many successful men and stories there if they plan and those plans and even dreams are rooted in reality and situations that can change and differ in time.
I am not into taking “pills’ no matter what “color” they are…But just being realistic and awoken to how things and the situation is, to as much as i can…So i am not lead astray, or cheated, lied to…Or much worse! One should follow their own best “code of conduct”, and adhere to learning from your own as well as others mistakes and not make the same if possible. That is to me…The definition of a smart/wise man, and not to be “suckered.”
There were movements way before the ones you mentioned, and one i remembered, was in the later 1970’s started by a man that referred to himself as “Paradise Johnson”, there in the Philippines and to living life and starting a business[sic] and one that would assured to successful for then…But would now be a failure…and he also put out cassette tapes and a publication. I still have mine to listen to and his funny stories to get to you to invest in him…And the Philippine islands. I do not know or think he still exists or his legacy now. Peace
As usual we say you are 100% right the conversation were not having is what’s going on in Western society and how the spoiling up of families gave government control over the entire situation I thank you my friend keep putting out the good content
I’m coming over for the first time for a vacation to check things out. I heard that everything can go wrong all at once in the Philippines.
My biggest fear is being broke
I know I can transfer money at the airport. But I can buy foreign currency at my bank here in America. Do you think that the TSA well flag me if I have 50k Philippine pesos in my bag? it’s only $1000 usd but it still looks like a whole Lot of money
I was going to keep it in an envelope on the side of my bag with a zip tie on it
I have seen all these terms used but never paid any mind to them. So thank you for explaining each term as it’s interesting and informative.
Me, give me the blue pill. Cypher was able to design his own life ignorant of reality.
Well i don’t like American women There are some good ones but they’re very difficult to find family court and feminist have destroyed the west but i love Filipinas most are genuinely good people
Great anaylsis, i agreed almost everything you said except, getting legally marry. The risk is too high in the US legal system. People change, but signed paper last forever. However, i do agree man should provide and protect his woman.
Whatever semantic definitions people chose to use (Red Pill, Black Pill, MGTOW), if they are approaching a life change (like dating overseas) from a position of hatred or negativity, then they are toxic, and you should avoid them like the plague! More importantly, you should warn your lady friends against associating with those guys – these guys will never be happy, and a Filipina woman might not recognize their defects until it is too late.
As for “Passport Bros” I have a slightly different take – they approach this from a position of ignorance. At what age are they are suddenly discovering they should get a passport and see the world? A guy explores the world and discovers there are many nice places to live and wonderful women of all races to date – I applaud that, he is coming to this solution from a positive perspective. But a guy who is just pissed off at his life experience and imagines that it will all get better if he moves to where “the grass is greener” is likely to find as many things to hate there as at home.
Find what you like in life and pursue it – not what you hate.
Am I ‘man’ if I’m in a relationship with a girl where we both share in responsibilities, economic and domestic? We are both leaders in the relationship except in different things. We both have strengths and take charge in parts of the relationship that we have strengths in. We make decisions together. I never unilaterally make decisions about where we go or what we do. Am I still a ‘man’?
Don’t know if I have ever heard a better definition of Red Pill. Yes people always like to bend definitions to bring a positive light on themselves. Great Video.
I believe most of the angry, bitter men who justify their anger by pointing to women and society were going to fail in their relationships regardless of Western society. Some men are just bad at relationships and the angry, bitter ones have a higher probability of being in that group. Healthy people rarely stay bitter for long. They move on and build the best life they can
Let’s not ignore a key point on “passport bros.” That term has a racial connotation because it was popularized by angry U.S. black women to clobber eligible black men who were spurning them to date overseas. Now that cringey term is carelessly broadened to encompass white men. A 60-year-old white guy who has had a passport for 30 years is not a “passport bro.”
Not “all” of the armed forces men and possibly women are fortunate enough to have trustworthy spouses left behind to handle business. I have heard and personally seen how their wives have abused their trust and cheated while their husband was deployed or worse. They have cleaned out bank accounts and basically destroyed their men. I honestly don’t think you can sum up all the possibilities in this very short video. I would consider myself red pilled. All that means to me though is that I’m not alone in my experiences. It was enlightening to listen to others. I’ve been divorced twice and understand what happened with the first marriage and yes, “mostly” my fault but absolutely clueless as to what happened in the second. MGTOW, like anything else, provides a learning opportunity to men. It’s not as simple as you take everything to heart and follow it to the letter. You take in what you need and discard the rest. You look at what you learned and evaluate, adjust and complete the cycle again. The woman I’ve been with for 6 years now is old fashioned to a point. She’s fit, feminine, fun and can still be a real PIA sometimes but then again, I can be a real dick too. But we have it worked out. Everything serves a purpose even though it may not be apparent to everyone or for everyone.
Most men of today aren’t women haters.
Men have become precautious due to a faulty legal system that empowers women to do maximum damage at will.
Therefore, men have to make untraditional adjustments for self preservation.
The wicked “powers & principalities” have sought for centuries to Destroy The Nuclear Family as part of a larger dystopian agenda. MGTOW willfully or inadvertently facilitates or advances that outcome by overly or almost exclusively focusing on the problem behaviors of women and enabling machination of the gynecratic institutions. Cursing the the darkness is of limited diminishing benefit if not tethered to actions and solutions designed to save, advance and rebuild The Family.
Adult male learns feminism has devolved from empowering women to demonizing men. Joins enlightened male movement … to bitch about women.
Point out the irony and … Well, you can lead a boy to his man-card, but can’t force him to take it.
I disagree. I lost count of how many times you said what “real man” do. That’s usually reserved for 35yo women with four children by five different men or religious boomers who consume more blue pills than you can imagine. You are describing Men’s Rights Activists (MRA’s). They failed spectacularly! They were taken over by male feminists and just loss at every turn. “Real men” don’t appreciate failure. One aspect of men are InCel’s (Involuntary Celibate = Sub 5 men, who are very short, skinny, odd face structure or any other personality defects) They are angry and often want vengeance because they have no chance at a woman. All the movies they’ve seen, music they have listened to, books they have read, do not include them. It’s like “I’m the Disney Prince, I bought all the stuff and have modeled my life around this and now you tell me, when you said ‘men’, you didn’t mean me? I have spent my whole life trying to be America’s son, now I find that my failure was determined at birth or in grade school. Now I find out! So I can be a slave to the system that marginally tolerates me as a consumer or audience member, a fan if you will? This is beginning to feel a lot like the divorcee who lost everything. I choose plan B, lets burn it down and see how high the flames go?” MGTOW is a man who married the girl, had the kids and was divorce raped, loss their kids and work as slaves for kids who now hate them. The ones who didn’t blow their heads off or drank themselves into uselessness. They told their stories. Current MGTOW are people who have done the math, reviewed the algorithms of woman and have come to the conclusion that the game is unwinnable. It may have once been winnable or maybe that was just the matrix? I love women, work mostly with women and enjoy them, but their programming is kind of all the same. I’m glad you are enjoying yourself in SE Asia. Are you saying I could marry a Filipina girl and bring her back to California? Is it nature or nurture, that is the question. Is it that the Filipina would be corrupted by American culture or would she just be able to let her programming run wild in the US? No hate. If I could find a job that was more prestigious and paid me ten times more, would I take it? All things being equal, more than likely, despite it being a shitty thing for my current employer. Who am I to deny her a bite of the apple. I can’t protect the world, my country, my state or my town from poor decisions. How could I ever protect a women from herself? I know! “A Real man would find a way!” I’m not a real man, I’m a MGTOW man, and like real men, I’m a problem solver. There are two sides to every trade, winners and losers. My problem-solving skills are dedicated to ensuring that I’m on the winning side of as many trades as possible. I follow you because I’m looking at retiring in Sebu. Thank you for the PSA on MGTOW. Although, in retrospect, I should choose someplace with less expats. I’m MGTOW because I avoid drama. I’m kind of surprised you used deployed Marines as an argument against MGTOW. I would never call a Marine a SIMP. They know Jody is out there waiting. MGTOW has a lot of Marines and growing by the day.
Dating and relationships in America have become very toxic. When Black and White American men are seeking relationships outside of the USA, things are bad. Both Black and White men are the most desirable men in the USA. It is not just old men traveling overseas anymore. It is young men seeking to leave a toxic environment. The fact young men are doing this is telling. It means that the system in America is not beneficial to young men, both White and Black.
I hear all the people you interact with and I just keep hoping these are clients you’re paid to consult. Great story about the US Marines. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry, but with the internet, majority of women from all countries who access the internet are changing for the worse. With 80% of women chasing the top 10% of men, there will always be a high % of men who won’t care to get into relationships. Women influence dominates the path of society. Laws favor women. Men who have already been through the ringer and cleaned out, they’re going to stay bitter and if they move forward. They will always have the paranoia that they’ll get screwed over. MGTOW red pill for life with pride. Play the field and never settle down. Women have ruined things for men.
Women deserve less. Period. All women are women, even S.E. Asian women are women. In the right circumstances, they will either betray you in some way, or abandon you and save themselves [build your own scenario]. As a man, that is supposed to sacrifice myself for family, country, etc, excuse me if I judge them as deserving of less, because they won’t do the same.
“Abnormalities” to standard women, found in other parts of the world, just means those women haven’t received their modern standards [updates]- but they are majority operating on the same operating systems (which edition varies) but finding a Linux “Mint” out in the wild doesn’t mean everyone was wrong about Windows or Apple operating systems.
The Marine Corps is not what you think…
Great video, although there is something you (and most people) get wrong about the Marine Corps.
They don’t turn people into the kind of individual you described. No one can.
So look at all the aspects of their recruiting programs. The Few, the Proud. Can you be one of us? Look at the photos of the proud, honorable, brave men in the advertisements.
Guys who are already ready to lay their lives down to protect what they believe in.
A whole marketing program that stresses they are looking for people who already have heroic streaks. Who already have a sense of Honor. Are you worthy of wearing our uniform?
Then there is the whole mystique of the Marines, earned in bloody warfare and glorified on the screen. Boot camp. First into battle. Heroics. People sacrificing their lives for their buddies, their families, and for the nation.
The Marine Corp didn’t make us the way you described. They filter out most everyone who isn’t already that way.
And all the bad apples we have? Most of them are sent there by judges who tell criminals they can enlist or go to jail. That’s who loads us up with garbage, although they seldom last. They get kicked out or end up in our jails.
Most people wouldn’t dream of enlisting in the Marine Corps. The thought scares them to death. The ones who do are self-selected for those top attributes. We aren’t afraid of it, we welcome it.
What I came to believe was that the Marines very rarely changed anyone. What it does is to amplify, sometimes greatly so, what the person already is – whether that is good or bad.
And it gives those of us who have already earned it, a home with others, living and dead, who have also done so.
Anyway, you really do put out great videos. So this wasn’t a criticism, just information.
Thanks Henry
MGTOWM MEN GIVING THE OTHER WIFE MONEY .
IN THE USA IM RED PILLED . THATS ONE REASON , IM MOVIVING TO PHIL . SALAMAT
There are always extremists, and they will F up the world because they can. You have to screen your friends as carefully as your women. Family, well, just stay away from the bad ones…
Ok thanks for the definition
Because of the outdated, archaic, unfair marriage laws in AMERICA, by definition you are a simp because you must take a submissive role in the relationship/marriage just for it to work. Im not speaking on marriage in se asia.
Also, a woman shows her love with sexual exclusivity, a man shows his love with economic exclusivity, meaning if (IF) he wants to cheat on the side, then its ok as long as it doesn’t damage his wallet that effects the welfare of his wife/children.
great topic. thanks again
I feel that you continue to bring thoughtful and well expressed concepts to your videos. I would say I agree with everything you have said here and honestly, I feel quite bad for so many of the very unhappy and angry men out there.
Hi Hope all is well New to your channel I was watching one of your Videos (How Being An Expat for 8-Years Has Changed Me) in your video you mentioned that you did not buy land in Bohol My ? is can you as an expat can you buy land if if so what would be the best way. I am a Canadian and planning to relocate to Bohol And yes as I watch your videos I have done everything your to this point but not willing to be scared off buy some that took advantage of my good nature Thanks for your vids great job Brian
