I have my friends help me but never long term. Never been on a banka boat, fast craft is safer. When you come back, do not ever do the back ally thing again. You were lucky. After 12 years, you come to understand that 3rd world can breed disparate people, who have not much to loose. I listen to your audio and what you say is true. So I will share this with my filipina wife and see if she wants to avail the program. Most of what we do is MLM (successful). Glad to find your site. Just be a lot more careful the next time you come over. God bless Wow, what a trip, I’ve been here (ph-Cebu)for 12 years and very excited to hire more help.

Your video camera would have been "lost" if you were walking around the Ermita area of Manila with it. =) BTW, which hotel was it you stayed at? I'm heading out there again in a few weeks and will be staying at the Soho in Bel Air, Makati... looking to hire some Filipinos myself.

I personally went to the Philippines and trained him and others. I see someone posted that they are payin $8.00 an HOUR?? Most Filipinos dont get 8 dollars PER DAY! I've lived in the Philippines about 4 months this year. You can cant go running off with people you barely know. You can disappear for good that way. Your very lucky.

I have been to the Philippine 5 times and on my last trip was married July 2008 in South Leyte to a filipino, now with me in Canada. When I heard about you through Jim Cockrums site I decided to try out your trial membership which changed my life. I hired my first Filipino in Feb.2009 and never looked back. I've hired a few filipinos since and plan to hire more in the future. I think this is waht people need a video of peoples trips to share how easy it is to get around in the Philippines with just knowing English. They all take it from the very start of school all the way to the end of their school. Everyone knows English there. Their food is great, friendly people. I really enjoyed this blog and video. I'll be going back soon! Can't wait to see the next one!!! Great video thanks for sharing.
