How many Americans will move to the Philippines?

In this video, Captain Trucker explores the growing trend of Americans moving to the Philippines, a phenomenon he's calling the "Great American Exodus." With the U.S. facing rising debt, inflation, and political divisions, more and more Americans are looking abroad for a fresh start. Captain Trucker dives into the data, predicting an even larger influx of expats by 2034, far beyond the traditional 2-3% growth. We’ll also discuss the ethical considerations of foreign vloggers and how their influence on social media is shaping tourism and culture in countries like the Philippines. Are these changes for better or worse? What are the positive and negative effects of this American migration on the local economy, including the impact on real estate prices and local businesses? Join the conversation and share your thoughts on whether this growing trend will help or harm the Philippines. Don't miss out on this important discussion!
