Reunited with my Filipino Family after 7 Years | Ep. 05

[@gematosgracias590]

You've fully embraced your roots now... you invited your friend to the fiesta at home and make him feel one with your family.

[@2FrenchinManila]

Yes he did. Nelson speaking, it was a great experience to be at the fiesta

[@jessiejavier4073]

Actually cried watching the video. You’re becoming a Filipino more. We, Filipinos are so emotional that crying doesn’t only mean you are lonely nor have a problem but showing how affectionate and happy you are to any circumstances

[@ecks081]

My family’s from samboan too but I never got the chance to visit. I am so hoping to visit soon and admire its beauty. My lolo was born there and he always tells us how beautiful it is. Thank you for this video!

[@2FrenchinManila]

I hope so too!

[@sportyguy9326]

I am sooo HAPPY that you have a very good understanding of your dual culture, family and most importantly where your roots come from. We have a saying in our culture "ANG TAONG HINDI LUMINGON SA PINANGGALINGAN AY HINDI MAKARATING SA PAROROONAN" To translate that in English " A PERSON WHO DOES NOT LOOK BACK WHERE HE CAME FROM WILL NEVER REACH HIS DESTINATION IN LIFE."

[@2FrenchinManila]

Thank you for your kind words, " A PERSON WHO DOES NOT LOOK BACK WHERE HE CAME FROM WILL NEVER REACH HIS DESTINATION IN LIFE." == very well said! See you soon

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Wow! I was touched by your story. I admire your love to our country where your mom came from. I hope you continue visiting your family in Cebu whenever you're free because it's the most important in our lives even how successful you are, never forget where you came from. God bless you and keep you safe with your friend who is also very fond of our culture. I had a brief stay in Paris with my family during the 90's but unfortunately we didn't go back when my wife died for cancer. To be honest I repent not going back because Paris is the most beautiful city in the world.👍👍

[@2FrenchinManila]

Thank you ♥️ and sorry for your loss :(

[@radjitolentino6953]

"Family is not easy. But family is also where life begins and I think where love never ends." Such a beautiful insight! Watching from Hawaii. Aloha!

[@2FrenchinManila]

Wow hi from the philippines ❤

[@leticiachiok8057]

So love your quote... having a family with Filipino roots and having some members are separated due to immigration is not easy, but, it is where life begins and the love for family never ends. 🤗💞👏

[@alphaomegazulu]

i feel so much love just by watching this video! going back to your roots & seeing familiar faces, there's so much affection in words & in actions. family is indeed very important to us! spending quality time with family is the best! belle vie! btw, i was surprised to see Leah of HeyoLeah YT channel @ 13:26. that's her right? is she your sister? or cousin?

[@2FrenchinManila]

Arnold, thank you for taking the time to write those words. Really appreciate it. It is not Leah, it's my cousin. But we are good friend with Leah. We are both part of the Filipino community in France 🙂

[@2FrenchinManila]

John speaking. Sorry it is actually Leah !! 😅 at this minute. Her family as a travel agency in Paris and we know her from there. She helped me to surprise my family in France once with round trip tickets to the Philippines because I was not in France at that time

I'm happy that you're a Filipino in blood & in heart but Cebuano in particular. Filipinos are the jolliest people on earth hoping that we Filipinos instill our vibes onto the world to have a happy environment. Fiesta is a Filipino culture which everyone has giving in it's heart on it and lechon is the most special on that occasion. Are you a brother of Leah with & H idol? Because I'm her subscriber who admire her love for the Philippines and her Filipino roots. I'm also from Cebu particular I Naga City central part of southern Cebu. Enjoy your life with much memories and the also bring inside your heart the Filipino vibes.
