As a foreign expat retiring to the Philippines in Asia, how do you spend your remaining time wisely on earth? You need to live with purpose, even during retirement, have a reason to get up in the morning. It’s important to be active, do the things you loved doing prior to moving here. Take up a new hobby, educate yourself in a degree subject. Meet new friends and maintain a good social life. Be kind to people, show compassion, humility, forgiveness, gratitude to others.
Why do expats retire to the Philippines? Why choose a big Asian city such as Cebu city rather than live in the province? Low cost of living, diversity, culture, weather, food, scenery, long visas entice foreigners to live in the Philippines. Filipinos are welcome and warm people. Filipinos are often regarded as the most friendliest nation in Asia and nicest people in the world. English is widely spoken throughout the country. The Philippines is included in the top ten English speaking countries in the world. The majority of Filipinos are highly proficient in English, so it is very easy to strike up a conversation and make new friends, but so last century. When you’re there you feel like you’re stuck in an 80s/90s time warp with the old skool music blaring out and the outdated infrastructure.
Cebu is a vibrant Asian city and favorite travel destination in Asia. Cebu has the best of both world – combining the city life of shopping malls and nightlife with beaches and paradise islands. The Philippines should be on everyone’s bucket list with its beautiful white sand beaches, fabulous idyllic islands, turquoise sea and stunning scenery. The Philippines is a traveller’s paradise and regularly included in top ten favorite places to visit in Asia and affordable, favorite world holiday destination.
Many foreigners/expats choose the Philippines as the best country to retire in Asia and live in paradise. The Philippines is one of the cheapest countries to live in the world with its low cost of living and all year sunshine. Retiring in the Philippines is affordable on a budget of around $800 pcm.

Your best video ever. Well done !

Hello from Los Angeles and subscribed. . I just discovered your channel. I am glad i did. I enjoyed this.
Golden words. Thank you.
Nice one Philip ✌🏽
I thought my happy place was Philippines and Thailand. I thought after I found a gf all would be good. Nope. I needed to keep busy doing something productive to occupy my time. The mall , bus trips and exploring get boring quick. The gf wasn’t the answer either. I’m back home rethinking my plan.
Some ex pats start a business. I know why but I’m not going to try that.
Good video I relate to your thoughts 💭
Masterful video!!! Bravo, and thank you for this!!
I find your videos including this one fun, honest and very thoughtful. Yes live with purpose!! I do.
BTW I will be in the Phils June 14

Jolly well good on ya for reminding me of Monty Python here. Wise vid my friend. New subscriber here. I plan to move to the Philippines this year from Southwest Florida. Considering Valencia.
This is one of the best videos in youtube mate, it gives you so much energy and motivation, thank you and well done!!! BTW tomorrow I'll jump on the plane in Heathrow to Manila and after on another one to Palawan, I'm dying slowly in London if i don't😃 Stay safe mate and rock on🤘🇬🇧💙🇵🇭
Good video. The philosophical content is appreciated. Oh and by the way, let us know what you think of Atomised. It's one of my favourite novels.
Filipinas like expats with PESOnality… he he he 😂😂😂 Excellent job BWC…enjoyed listening to your random thoughts.
Great video…When I first started watching your channel I thought you looked a bit weird with those glasses and hair but I guess you can't judge a book from it's cover. But please get a haircut and new glasses 😊
In western countries, a divorce is 50% assets gone.
Women like old men? I thought in thailand too? Lol
Which part of UK are you from?
Of course all malls are the same.
As a guy going through something of a transition myself, I think this was your best video yet, Phillip. As a gym rat my whole life, thankfully I’ll always have that to occupy at least some of my time. Unfortunately, I don’t think the Philippines is the answer for me relationship wise, but I hope you find what you’re looking for there.
You look much better with short hair.
Go Bigg or go home. Nice essay Uncle.
i have five single daughters, one is a nurse and the four still studying in Silliman U.. they find it annoying to see old dirty foriegners like you!.. they got goosebumps..
Happy days uncle, words of wisdom, a well researched video, great content and brutally honest, love the dark humour, refreshing change from a normal philopines blogger.
your right about the malls, they are all the same except for one thing the people who are in the mall "DL Wallace"
Great video once again mate..
So many Beautiful Girls there !

Nice photo collage pieces.I plan to get back into art upon moving there when the surfing is down, riding my bike, practicing music.Getting good at cooking fresh fish on the cheap.Keeping both peckers up.
All The foreign simps love this video
I'll be "semi-retiring" in Davao City in April, 2024, and I'll be 66 years old but in excellent health. I'll be working for a U.S. company 40-60 hrs. monthly, so I'll still have plenty
of time to travel, scuba dive, socialize, exercise and many other things. I'll get there with 13,000,000 Pesos in savings, no debt, and 250,000 Pesos of monthly income, so
I'll have the wealth and freedom to go and do as I please, and still save about 150,000 Pesos every month. I don't have plans to seek out a Filipina, but If I met a good one
in the course of my day, I might spend some time with her. I'll enjoy my freedom, prosperity and peace every day,.
