⌛ Introduce myself

Good day to all I would like to introduce myself. My name is jack, I'm from the united states. I have registered on this forum a while ago but never introduced myself. I traveled to Dumaguete a few times as I have a fiancee who lives in Sibulan. My last trip there was not so good, Myself and fiancee where traveling from dumaguete to bukidnon to visit her family and we where involved in a very bad motor bike accident. As far as Dumaguete goes I truly love the place and the people there. I am an american and I have lived in the United States all my life I am proud to be american. But I believe from all my trips to the philippines The one thing that stands out in my mind is how beautiful and friendly people in the philippines are. Life is hard for so many people who live there but they are still some of the most beautiful people I have ever seen In all my life. It's my pleasure to know all my friends there.
I feel very blessed to have them as friends and I look forward to making some new friends on this site. May God bless you all and have a wonderful day, salamat jack

 

Good day. it is so nice to hear people from other country telling that Dumaguete, Philippines is a very nice place and people are friendly! good luck to you and your fiancee and hope you will have a good time together. God bless you.

 

Hi Jack, I hope to meet you one day. I live in Sibulan

 

From 1 jack to another, WELCOME! Just hope they don't get us Confused,
I agree with Fil-am in that it is nice to hear good things about Duma.


Jack.

 

Thank You

Thanks to all for the kind words. I know it will be easy for me to make new friends here, There are many great people on this site. Thank you,

 

Sure thats sounds great, I am now just waiting for the immigrations to tell me when my fiancee will have her interview then i will return there at that time. When I am ready to return we can make plans to meet...

 

Welcome to this forum Jack

 

Welcome to our home.
I am one of the guys that don't live in Dumaguete. I live across the water on Mindanao.
In regards to your comments about the people here. There are basically two classes, poor and poorer, but this never stops the people here from being the most friendly and most polite people that I have ever met.
I also am a very proud American (from Houston, Texas), but I have decided to make the Philippines my home forever.
This country has so much to offer in the way of beauty. I get to see the sunsets over the water that my friends in Dumaguete do not see.
From your post, I am guessing that you are taking your fiancée back to the US.
Of course, my opinion only, you should consider moving here.
Again, welcome to our site.
Ron

Hi Ron, Yes you are right I will bring my fiancee back to the U.S. But just for a few years. I would love to live in the philippines now,But I have a young son here. Our plan is for her to come here and we will stay about 10 years in the U.S. then later when my son is older we will move back there when I retire. It was nice to hear from you. you are right about what you said about the people there, most have a hard life but they are the most beautiful people I have ever seen. I honestly think most americans could learn a little something from that. Have a great day my friend, Hope to hear from you again. jack

 

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. God bless to all and have a good day.
