For decades, millions of Filipinos powered the global gig and outsourcing economy. But the system that made it work may be breaking faster than anyone expected. ASIAN BOSS explores why this model is now under pressure—especially as AI enters the picture.

Livestream guest submission: https://forms.gle/4AJo154Ho6fX5dDM7
We’re experimenting with a separate livestream format to hear directly from people with lived experience across Asia. The goal is to strengthen our fact-checking and gather perspectives that can inform and shape future episodes. If you have meaningful, first-hand insight into an industry in any Asian country and feel it could add important context and depth to our reporting, you can submit your information through the form above. We’ll reach out if it’s a good fit for a future livestream topic. Too often, mainstream narratives about Asia are shaped without hearing directly from the people who live and work there. This is a chance to help ensure those perspectives are part of the global conversation. And if you know someone with insight worth sharing, feel free to pass this along to them as well.

Island Hopper TV takes you around the world to the premiere travel destinations. Our virtual travel guides from across America to Asia, Europe and Australia have assisted many world travelers in educating themselves on their next destination to travel or even vacation. Stay tuned for our latest travel video.

At least 90 people have been killed while hundreds of thousands fled their homes as one of strongest typhoons this year ripped through the central Philippines, authorities say.

Typhoon Kalmaegi has flooded entire towns on the most populated central island of Cebu, where at least 49 of the fatalities were located.

Videos show people sheltering on rooftops, while cars and shipping containers have been swept through the streets.

The official death toll, which is likely to rise, includes six crew members of a military helicopter that crashed on Mindanao island, south of Cebu, after it was deployed to assist in relief efforts.

This is the story of how a lonely delivery driver from Detroit became another statistic in the Philippines retirement scam epidemic. No one forced him to wire the money. No one held a gun to his head. He did it all willingly, desperately, because he wanted so badly to believe that someone finally valued me.

In this video, he's sharing every painful detail: how he met his Filipina wife, Liza, how the requests started small and grew, how he ignored every warning sign, and how he ended up broke at 62 with nothing to show for three years except expensive lessons about trust, loneliness, and desperation.

🚨 What You'll Learn:
- How retirement scams targeting Western men actually work in the Philippines
- The exact progression from "girlfriend" to financial disaster
- Why I ignored obvious red flags (and how you can avoid doing the same)
- The real cost of building a house in the Philippines as a foreigner
- How monthly "allowances" can drain your retirement savings
- Why failed business ventures are a common part of these scams
- What happens when you run out of money and she's done with you
- How the U.S. Embassy handles broke Americans abroad (repatriation loans explained)
- What it's like starting over at 62 after losing everything

In this ultimate Philippines food documentary, we’re traveling across the lesser visited southern island of Mindanao in search of the best local food. From the busy street food stalls of Cagayan De Oro to the rich culture of Marawi City, the unique Filipino food in Zamboanga, and the tuna of Davao City and General Santos City, this is going to be an unforgettable journey into Filipino food.

Huge thank you to Chui: @TheChuiShow For helping to arrange this entire trip!

Cagayan De Oro - Our food tour starts in the busy city of Cagayan de Oro, known locally as CDO. The market is full of delicious Filipino street food and friendly people. We’ll try a local stall famous for their humba, and get a taste of delicious Halal Maranao food. Next we’re trying the raw marinated fish (kinilaw) and tasting a powerful unforgettable soup!

Marawi City - Marawi City is home to the Maranao People, an ethnic people group native to this region of Mindanao. Their food is outstanding, some of the best food I’ve had in the Philippines - loaded with spices and fresh herbs.

Zamboanga City - From Marawi City, we made our way, continuing with our ultimate Philippines street food tour to Zamboanga City, one of the most unique and fascinating cities in the Philippines with its mix of Spanish cultures. The food is outstanding as you would expect, with a mix of local Sulu island flavors and dishes like huge crabs in Alavar sauce - which you don’t want to miss.

General Santos City - Next up we head to General Santos City, the tuna capital of the Philippines and home to Manny Pacquiao! We visited the tuna auction, which is incredible to see, tried some local balbacua, ate at Manny Pacquiao’s favorite local spot, and then had one of the greatest tuna and marlin bbq meals ever.

Davao City - It would not be a complete Philippines street food tour in Mindanao without going to Davao City, the capital and biggest city in Mindanao. Their soups are incredible and we tried a huge variety of some of the tastiest and most legendary Filipino food. Also a highlight is Davao durian, and if you love durian, welcome to durian paradise!

A huge thank you to all my local friends in the Philippines for your amazing support and taking me around!

Video:
So Philippines is a good contender to be called the Poland of Asia because it was first colonized by the Spanish for 333 years, then passed to the USA and then it was taken by the Japanese Empire in WW2, which makes Philippines highly considerable to be called the Poland of Asia. But here's the deal, to be Poland you have to be independent first and then lose your whole territory to the other countries. While Philippines didn't even exist as a sole country before the Spanish Empire colonized them, Philippines was just distributed among small principalities. Which neglects the Idea of Philippines being the Poland of Asia.
