Mark is in my view helping the conversation on course, and not exactly interrupting. But I understand one mis-cued chipping in from the host and the listener might get focussed on if such interruptions would happen every time onwards. Mark is pretty measured and sensitive as a host. It is a joy to listen to his intelligent comments along the way.

Im a Filipino grew up in the Philippines and went to the US in my late 20s. Now retiring in the US military. I can say that i enjoyed my life more when i was in the Philippines. I just realize that those were the best time of my life during my time in the Philippines. I have been around the world but there are no human being that are very caring and genuine people like Filipinos.

I feel where you are coming from. But I think a positive way to look at it is this. Because there CAN be a toxic and negative way of holding where you came from as the 'standard' and using that to downplay where you are. So I understand your view. However, that's idiotic. If you liked it there so much, why are you here? Go back, and stop bashing where you are. You left for a REASON. Something there you didn't like, something here you looked forward to. It's the differences between the host country and where you are from that brought you here in the first place, and THOSE differences should be acknowledged, celebrated, praised and enjoyed. You should lift up where you are for the differences that brought you there. I think some people get an idea of what it will or should be like, and the reality doesn't meet the expectations... and they take that frustration out on the Host Country. But that's on them for not doing enough research, for properly understanding where they were going. Like most things in life, nothing is perfect and we should temper our expectations so as to not be disappointed when reality doesn't match.

My husband and I lived here for three years and from that experience he has learned so much about our lifestyle and since coming back to the States all he does is long for the day when we can retire in the Philippines. There's so many factors that contribute to our decision: one of which is the political climate that we are in right now and also the unbelievable hatred and anger that the people here exhibits on a daily basis. It seems that people here are on the edge constantly I'm actually scared to visit bigger cities nowadays. Thanks for a great perspective. Best of luck to you!!

Jeff appears to be an all-around good guy. He is pretty spot-on on his observations. Comparable to their Northeastern counterparts who "live to work," Filipinos "work to live," in a manner of speaking. However, there is one point that needs a tad bit of clarification on the matter of "English" getting worse in the country. While it is true that more Filipinos have improved their speaking ability (i.e., accent-wise) due to the onslaught of Call Centers or BPOs in the country, they suffer from a grammatical standpoint as a result of the decline in the quality of education as well as in the prevalence of social media lingos which leave the younger generation grappling for the "right" spellings on a number of words.

It is hard to do business in the Php due to the bureaucracy of the Govt. system. Secondly, foreign businesses can set up shops in the Php. but can own 40% ownership the rest has to be Filipino citizens owned. But I read last summer of 2022 that the outgoing Pres. Duterte changed all that by having foreigners own 100%. Still, I am not sure if this has been implanted. Thirdly, Electric Power Services cost so much compared to other ASEAN countries. It is the highest cost per Killowat consumed if I am not mistaken. MERALCO the Electric company that provides electrical services in Metro MNL. made such studies years ago of the cost bases per household, business & govt. offices the electrical consumption based on these algorithms & found out that the cost was highest amongst ASEAN countries. Fourth: Infrastructures. Thailand is way ahead in infrastructure. It is efficient & good roads are everywhere even in rural areas. I was totally impressed. I wouldn't be surprised if Vietnam is going to surpass the Php. in economic development. Anyway that's my 2cents.

I will be staying in the Philippines but will be making my way out of Manila within the year. There’s a reason foreigners don’t live here except for business or other demands.

@@westnash it is a hotel and usually rented by the day or week. During peak time it could be $120 a night, but I got them recently by using Agora at $61 per night. They have a restaurant that serves all day and a very small bar area with an open lounge.

Thank you for saying that Filipinos are wise and others can emulate. Yes I think Filipinos are unique in the sense that we have more patience, wider understanding and are caring people.

Great to hear Jeff talk about Taiwan. Again I keep hearing the magic word of patience brought up talking about the Philippines & their culture. Hope Xi does not get the Putin syndrome of wanting to attack a free country. Loved the motorcycle throttle cable story Mark ! Amazing.

I think your listeners pretty much all agree, your guest Jeff was a huge hit, I also agree he was a super guest that had a very positive way of asking questions and delivering answers. I vote for a regular appearance, the two of you really made it happen. Thank you.
