No issues here in the Philippines, I moved in 2016 and never ever felt this either in Davao, Manila or Bacolod. However, some foreigners act as if they are with privilege and tend to look down on locals and then they pay for it.

Do any Americans here think a drunk vulgar stranger touching the butts of your female friends without their consent and belligerently kept going on despite being repeatedly warned is free from negative consequences in the US? Do Americans think this happened because we belong to an "inferior' society? The arrogant American tried to open the suspect's car door before he was shot. Mass murder for no reason is almost a way of life in the US. Why would an incident like this paint my society into a wild wild west picture? Who's wilder?

Although we Filipinos love to party we're still really quite conservative. You just can't go around touching anyone's butt, male or female. It could get one in trouble.

I stayed in the Philippines for 6 years off and on since 2016, and never had that problems, respect works 2 ways. And stay out those night life on the street. If you are in that life problems will come.

That was still an ISOLATED CASE! The American tourist was also being disrespectful to the locals. But again, the rapper who shot the tourist made the wrong decision and has to face the consequence of his actions.

That applies to any part of the world even in US. Stay lowkey, respect and be cautious no matter what, no matter when, no watter where. Violence is everywhere.

Remember being a tourist from another counrty is not a Privilege. Don't look down on the locals thinking you're entitled to do that because you're a foreigner and you're above them because your money is Dollar, a Euro. You have to respect the country and the people you choosed to visit and they'll respect you back.

Great advice! To avoid confrontation, it's important not to interfere with someone's partner or friends, regardless of which country you're in. We Filipinos welcome everyone with open arms, but it's also the responsibility of foreigners to respect our culture. Respect goes both ways, so as long as you're not unnecessarily causing harm, you should be fine here. And rest assured, Filipinos are always ready to lend a helping hand when needed.

40 plus years of combined military/ Security/ Bail bond enforcement (Lions and tigers and bears, Oh my) I agree with everything you said. I am retiring to the Philippines soon and de-escalation is almost always the best course of action. Just staying out of trouble areas is the biggest thing to know. Situational awareness. Learn the language!

When emotions are high, intelligence is low. Agree with everything you have said.

Our national anthem ends with the phrase, when abusers/oppressors come, we will die for you. We are very hospitable and friendly, but if you stick your chest out like a mighty man, you are in trouble. Just see how Pacquiao beat up those bigger than him. What you say makes a lot of sense. Pinoys are kind of reverse. In other cultures, the weak get trampled on and the strong get their way. In Filipino culture, we take care of the weak and fight against the strong even if we die. In Korean War, 700 Pinoy soldiers defeated 40,000 Chinese and North Korean Soldiers. In the Middle East, a platoon of Pinoy UN peace keepers disobeyed their Indian Commander who ordered them to surrender their barracks and fight and killed hundreds of Al Qaeda who surrounded them and when their ammo ran out, they walked across the desert to escape. During Covid-19, several Filipino doctors and nurses all over the world gave their lives to care for the sick. Maybe our national anthem has put in our minds to fight for the weak and resist the strong.

That American guy didn't die for no reason at all. He disrespected a girl and he was confronted by her male friends. I read in some comments that the American guy is an MMA fighter. The rapper who shot him said that the American guy was bastos. Filipinos are very respectful especially towards foreigners. But disrespect the Filipinos and you might be paying with your life.

Thank you for giving a good advice, use common sense. When you go to other countries, be respectful and just have fun. 🙂👍

I think the guy was disrespectful, the American guy was touching's other guy's butt that's why the rapper in Cebu shot him and the other guy that kicked the American was the boyfriend of the girl..

Wise words, I was in military law enforcement for 21 years and corrections for 10 years, keeping a low profile and showing respect keeps you above ground

This goes both ways. The govt can't afford to let this go with all the revenues coming in by foreigners. Tourism is huge in the philippines.

That's good advice you said about not going out so late at night. Bad elements here move mostly at night. Drug wars, buy bust operations, etc..that's why curfew usually starts ten pm. Avoid the witching hours is the best way to avoid trouble. I agree much with your content.

Rule #1. Dont push your weight around in a foreign land. Rule #2. Dont be a Hero( domestic violence or disputes). Rule #3. Dont be a Simp

Filipino the best friend you could ever get. But don’t fuck around.

Heard from other sources, the guy has a wife and kid in Thailand. So, what was he doing in a bar there?

100% brother, I see so many loose narrow minded foreigners on my many travels, I follow the sensible path like yourself 👍🏼

I think riding a scooter or motorcycle in populated areas there is the most dangerous thing that the majority of foreigners have to deal with. But if you are looking for trouble, you can find it anywhere in the world, especially in countries or areas of extreme poverty.

Thanks you , in our country respect and patience is a must it’s not a virtue having rude attitude and acting like you are better than this people even though it true but it also true this is the way asking for your early demise I have seen this kind of people here in America trust me the end the same way

Listen to an ex police officer with great knowledge or pay the price of ignorance

Thank you for not being biased we appreciate it, Take care

Respect goes a long way. Disrespect and you face the consequence with the locals.

Well said Tony for enlightened to those who didn't really understand what a Filipino demeanor when it comes to conflicts. Respect bruh

before the incident happen.,the american want to join to the of rapper and they welcome him.,after that he started to disrespect the gf of the rapper.,and then they complain to the management and they said they should call police.,and the employee said they should the one to called a police.,and this american keep on disrespecting all ladies.,and this what happen.,

In my many years as a businessman and a tourist, I've been to the Philippines multiple times. I know what can happen to foreigners, so I stay to myself and only visit my friends and business contacts there.

Excellent video! The algorithm sent me here. I won’t be bringing my 2 luxury cars there! Your advice is very very wise. I told hubby I won’t move there without living in a gated community/security.

You are absolutely right, I will not go out outside deep in the night in places I am not familiar with, because criminals go out during night time to find their victims, especially in the dark streets of Manila.

I just stumbled upon your channel. Nice content and i love your sense of humor 😁. One thing I’m worried about after watching your video is the fact that my Filipina and I built a nice house, as well as a guesthouse, in the province

The same holds true in the US. Crime is way worse back home

Very good advice❤

“I don’t even tell people where I live. I don’t even go around my house! “ 😂 now that’s dedication to privacy Tony or Anthony or Bob,Billy,or Mac ??

That's the problem here in pinas the guards were not strict always the pasensya na lang, lashing e😅

EXCELLENT display of logic sir!!!! ride safe

Hey man how's it going. I also just moved to lapu-lapu. How has the road trips been?

Yes realtalk

Wisdom if they have ears to hear

They build fancy House in a low average lifestyle i think they wanted to show those people around them that they are on top of the world.

6.5foot guy against 4foot tall filipino with the machede😅

nice video. wish so many more people would see this especially western men. Too many times everyone talks about Karens but there are also male karens. Please take Tony's advice and stay safe guys.

The words of a very wise man! You should listen!

The less people know about you the better - wise words!

Werry true stay low and smart.

Some Americans think they are savior of the world…😂😂😂😂

you make sense a lot bro.why built a mansion next to a pos house your gonna get rob.😅

Stay out of trouble there, OR else come back here in states.

Living the rapper attitude and lifestyle including carrying a gun and just itching to use it rather than being a level headed human being and sorting it out.. really low intelligence to begin with being the Native Ph..add the above recipe and the trend will most likely grow as more and more western thug rapper lifestyle is introduced there in the Philippines...good sensible old ways seem to be fading out fast as the Island life grows and becomes influenced by the western lifestyle... crime is about to increase and the Philippines government doesn't have the spine to control it..

Dont risk ur life, cuz of shthol, dont consume liquor too much

Salamat SA mga payo mo kaibigan dapat nila malaman Yan 😂

ISOLATED...wrong group, wrong time...

👍👏👍

If you watch the video the expat was at a bar running his mouth to locals and went outside and had plenty of time to walk away and didn't then a guy pulls up in a car and the expat opens his car door then he was shot!!!!!

Hehehehe,,,mansion in village surely was not the foreign Husband's idea, but the Wife!.. Trouble was always about Women (Chris Rock)🤑..

*New sub here gr8 content* 👍

MMA fighter that’s what he is ,also did you ever been to New York and Southside of Chicago not to mention Gary

he was murdered man

New Sub Here!👍

I think you are taking low profile to an extreme level. You ride a Click with 20+ k on the clock because you don't want to stand out? Really, no one cares or bats an eye in your driving a new scoot in the phils. It's not like you're the only one. There's are 10000's of foreigners in the Phils. How many have been kidnapped? I think i've seen a statistic saying that only 42 people (oit of 110million) got kidnapped last year and those were extremely wealthy pinoys. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just stay away from obvious terrorist areas in west-mindanou and you'll be fine.

plot twist: tony is the the one who unalived the american tourist hence the anonymous philosophy lmao

This coming from a septic American, look your own country and opinions
