In the Philippines, speaking entirely in English is too “academic” and formal. Speaking entirely in Filipino (or whatever local dialect) is either too “academic”, archaic, or sounds like a political speech... A mix of a local dialect and english makes a conversation more informal...

Actually not necessarily i speak tagalog and i study spanish, so actually for some words, he have a spanish version and an alternate word for tagalog street: spanish borrowed word is kalye/kalsada, and tagalog would be daan (kalye-calle isn't used, but kalsada-calsada is) Chair: spanish- silya, tagalog-upuan/bangko (silya-silla this word isn't really used) And also numbers, numbers are interchangable, we use both tagalog numbers and spanish numbers but theyre used in different ways, u can use spanish numbers 1-10 when u play cards, but u dont use tagalog numbers for that, u can use tagalog numbers when referring to something in a general way, but for me when dealing with money, I use spanish numbers like bente-veinte...por ejemplo pregunto a vendedor, cuanto cuesta, y después puede decir "bente" pesos

[@daspicer1]

Both Spanish and English are in the language because new words for many things simply didn't exist in the language. For 300+ years many Spanish words were adopted to fill those voids. Needed words after the Spaniards were gone, the American (English) word was used. Pretty much anything that's been invented outside of the country in the past century, the computer for example, the English word was likely adopted into the language.

Hello Asian Boss. I like your videos regarding Philippines excluding this one. The title is Do Filipinos hate tourists so I expect it is the first question you will ask but when I watch the video, the first question is about shutting down the Boracay. Let me answer your question. Do Filipinos hate tourists? No. They are welcome to visit our country and we appreciate it. Regarding Boracay, it is right to close it because after so many years, we have a president who got balls to preserve it. Boracay is now a garbage because of 2 reasons: poor law enforcement and oligarchs who only cares about profit.

[@rosemondejar5731]

Wrong conclusion. Boracay was closed because it's just dirty. Nothing to do with hatred of tourists per se.

[@cygarcia2513]

Bobby Alexander Datingaling Actually the tourists(and or locals) have a part in the closure. The trash is just thrown basically everywhere

[@Hehe-dl8si]

Wasn't it because of non-compliance to sewage something? But yeah definitely not hatred of tourists(is that even possible for Philippine culture?).

[@kk-mp2vq]

Cyril Garcia have you ever been in boracay? It's really clean compare to cities in the philippines. And sewerage system is the main problem which is also a problem in the whole country. The gov't is the main reponsible why sewerage is the problem. But it's really good that the president took fast action (but the action was too fast, they forgot to plan everything well)

It's now less than a month ago since I came home from visiting the Philippines for the 4th time (I'm Swedish and I'm married to a Filipina) and I really like the culture there and the people are incredibly friendly there. I always respect everyone when I go there, when I enter the mall I always say Hello sir or Hello mam to the security guards and you can see they light up from the respect they get. Humor goes a long way anywhere including the Philippines. No one ever treated me poorly there. Tagalog sounds rather funny to me, it's the repeat language, every once in a while they say the same words close to each other such as krung krung (crazy), mahal na mahal kita (love you a lot), miss na miss kita (miss you a lot), so I started to make my own such as busy na busy or eat na eat, it was appreciated there :)

[@minim6981]

they kiss your ass because your white. How does that feel?

[@peterthepogiman]

They treated me as an equal who is slightly taller. We had lots of fun together there. If there was any ass-kissing I didn't notice. The skin tone thing doesn't matter to me at all, here in Sweden after all people go to tanning salons to get tanned and they pay a lot to do so. People tend to want what they don't have themselves.

[@j8opoco]

i will have to disagree with one of the comments... they don't kiss ass, it's just their nature. we were there last year, service was excellent everywhere, we are not white but treated with respect. you could say it's part of their job, ok, but that's how waiters and waitresses here in the US normally treat customers too and they do it to everyone regardless of skin tone.

I don’t think we were treated like royalty (like, they didn’t treat us as superior), but there is just a wonderful, selflessness to everyone we met. When we were climbing Tagaytay (an extinct volcano), my sister fainted. This lady at the top immediately laid her down gently and started crushing leaves under her nose to help her wake up.

[@gmiyadole]

I agree that the government doesn't deserve that blame regarding with the trashes. However, generally speaking, that's the reason why they are "government". that's the point. They are responsible because they are the "government" hence, they need to be blamed. A lack of proper governance leads to citizens not being able to abide strictly to laws. Just look at some government from other countries who are in full control, nakakapalag ba ang mga citizens sa katigasan ng ulo nila? Hindi! Because the government is responsible.

[@jongpark]

The Bible was brought to this earth to save the people, while it has for few...many has perverse the words, having focused on tithing, being submissive. When JESUS CHRIST wanted everyone to have open relationship with yourself and be a STRONG disciple of God. Too much Catholicism forced their way in with GUILT words instead of words of WISDOM and STRENGTH. At least you still have family, most white Americans have broken up families, lost connection to God altogether, fearing each neighbors because of the LOVE of MONEY and expensive FOOD. Find your purpose by journaling and reading your own Bible periodically. God created everyone unique and special for reason, not to be enslaved but ENPOWERED. Like Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr...he can lead anyone to be a great paver of righteousness! Never forget the name Jesus Christ, he has 11 letters in his name, so does everlasting, eternal life, living water, and crucifixion. 9/11 was a warning for us ALL, but some of us failed to missed it.

But the money is unaccounted for. It's not just garbage. It's also the sewer system that has been neglected and raw sewage is backing up into the sea. As for tourists throwing garbage well pot meet kettle. Look at Manila with all the garbage the locals throw.

Lol they always blame the government. Sometimes the change can start within us. If we want change then start discipline ourselves by following simple rules.

[@sacheese2701]

If you come to think of it, the government still plays a huge role in this. The purpose of the government is to maintain order in society. People have no discipline because the government fails to INSTILL that discipline. May it be large business corps or poor families residing near Manila Bay, they all dump their trash in there because the place is unregulated. No matter how many clean up drives we do, if we do not completely restrict any form of dumping there, nothing would change. Self-discipline is important, but the reason we need a government is because it's not at all times that people are able to discipline themselves on their own. The government's duty is to MAINTAIN ORDER. If there are no laws for its stakeholders to abide by, nothing will happen. Apart from creating rules, we also have to implement them properly. It's not enough that there are policies. Creating AND implementing have to go hand in hand. No one else can do this most efficiently but the government. Yes, it would be nice if people learn how to discipline themselves, but it's the government's duty to constantly remind and SHOW its people that self-discipline is possible. They are called "leaders" for a reason. They lead and we follow. Both leaders and followers have their duties. But what's disheartening is that these leaders can't even be good examples to their followers. They have the platform that ordinary people don't have, why not use it efficiently?

There’s more to the Filipinos than meets the eye. So many are highly educated, have college degrees but due to lack of job opportunities people tend to settle for much less. People travel abroad and work as domestic helpers & what not. The truth is, the Filipinos are much smarter than their American counterparts. We have an offshore team in Manila and whenever we meet & have them present their reports, they are extremely talented in how they create & present their decks. What’s funny is that their diction is even better than the Americans. They use a lot of big words that a normal American would not use. They are very efficient, organized, the quality of work they produce is superb, all around talented. Those foreigners abusing the young should all be deported and blacklisted and never again be allowed back to enter the country. As far as Boracay’s closure, yes many have lost their jobs but the government have employed a pool of those people for the clean up effort, they are given money as part of their lost income for the time being, & some the government helped to find work elsewhere while the island is closed. Truly Boracay was neglected by the past administrations and if they had done their jobs then this would not happen to begin with. The current President is now left to clean up all of this mess.

The Tourist pump huge amounts of money into the economy and many areas would not survive without us. My problem is the actions of Filipinos in regards to throwing trash everywhere and thinking it's OK because thats what everyone else is doing. I go to the Beach every morning to surf and see the mess from the night before, bottles and food trash just left right where they were consumed and this is by mostly the Filipinos traveling from Manila for a few days vacation at the Beach. I pick up their trash in my area at the Beach before I paddle out. Boracay is a place I will NEVER go back to. Drunk young Tourist everywhere and the local business could not keep up with the amount of people that the Gov allowed on the Island daily. Bad Planning! Sex Trade has been something that is allowed to go on despite whatever the news says. I do have a problem with getting charged extra just because I am White. I am also not comfortable when given the best table or seat in a restaurant because I was born White.

Most Filipinos are very welcoming to foreigners visiting their country. From my own observations, the majority probably don't mind tourists that much unless they start being disrespectful. Most of the tourists I've seen before are terrible; they act like they're above everyone else and do whatever they want, they cuss at locals for getting in their way and they mock and push homeless people around, then they complain about the heat, and once, I was asked if everyone here were rapists and drug dealers. I used to hate tourists, especially when they take advantage of people's kindness towards them. I still have a bad image of them, but I try to be friendly whenever I meet one. I don't hate them as much, I just hope that they would stop thinking like royalties just because they're in a "third world country". This country has many flaws like the rest of the world, so if you choose to visit here then at least be understanding and respectful. I think it's common sense to travel with a friend since it's safer, to be home early, to protect your items and to bring pepper sprays if you're visiting a country you have no knowledge of. Be kind, be respectful and everyone will welcome you.

I also don't throw my trash any other place than where it belongs which isn't on the ground. The Philippines is a very beautiful country and I want it to stay that way.

I think its not always the government. Discipline should start in our homes. Parents should discipline their kids that will be an adult in the next generation. Sure, the government has a big factor in here but they need to keep it balanced. If they just keep making rules and not implying it to theirselves its really useless. Everything needs to be balance and well-sync. If the ruler and the follower do their jobs this society will have a better future. I want to share something from my experience. I always go to the mall once a week and I observed filipinos can't even follow the sign in the escalator (you know what I mean right? The left side is where you can walk and the right side is where you can just stand and let the escalator do its job) This is my example if filipinos can't even follow a simple instruction then this country will remain a third world country. Kahit sino pa yung presidente o yung mga nakakataas kung hindi marunong sumunod yung mga pilipino hindi aangat to'ng bansa na'to. Anyway, I really hope I can experience being interviewed because I like expressing my opinions whether you like it or not. Peace out! Pilipino po ako! ✌🇵🇭

The style of questioning of the interviewer induces biases and leans them to a biased point of view

[@benjaminbuagas8753]

Bias ang interviewer.asian boss yellow

[@randomly_random_0]

agree. skewed yung questions nya, lumilinya sa pagiging hater nya sa duterte admin, para hate din ang lumabas na sagot sa iniinterview nya hahaha

[@killuazoldyck9929]

True. They need to train their reporters.

how marijuana is seen by Filipinos. is it normal or is it taboo. I hate drugs but I know that marijuana is becoming popular all over the world

[@blueblazerable]

You cant blame us lol. In school, we are required to speak in english except for lunch time. In house, parents will talk to us im Filipino/local language with a overwhelming loanwords from Spanish. Haha

[@davisurdaneta1426]

To those who are quite confused with Filipino language. It's a cocktail of Tagalog, Malay, Spanish, and English. It's a new form of communication among younger generation. Not to mention the slang words that are now widely accepted in regular conversations among peers.

Should do a video of what Vietnamese think of China or What Chinese think of Vietnam. Would be very interesting!

[@markgilrosales6366]

Asian Boss, I respect your channel but this video is somehow farce. Where on earth did you get the notion that we hate tourists? We do not like bad people, tourist or not, and that is not peculiar to us. Closure of Boracay is a decision of the sitting president. Did your researchers ran out of ideas? I hope not. Most of your videos are of good and deep content. This one reeks of shallowness. Hope you get back to tracks. Good luck.

[@notquality3471]

i love that ever video asian boss makes about the philippines, 90% of the comments will just be talking about how we talk in taglish

[@Chocolaids]

I will say this once again, I love the language! Great video also!

[@justiny.7383]

Our language is slowly decaying

[@justiny.7383]

Maybe in the future we will never use tagalog as a daily dialect

[@justiny.7383]

And im happy about it

[@twixie__5651]

We hate tourists who look down on Filipinos especially those who stereotype all of us. They do theses type of interviews on the streets. They should also do interviews in other places like in a busy, business district area so they can have different opinions from other Filipinos.

[@juizzy4930]

To people who get curious why Filipino's talk in mixed Tagalog and English. It's because of the American influence, if you study the Filipino Language, there are lots words that are adapted from English language just like Tourist (ENG) = Torista (Tagalog), and words that have "tion", in Tagalog it just simply becomes " syon" and many more. So most Filipinos tend to use English Words that just got adapted to Tagalog. I've lived in Philippines for more than 3 years now and will continue to live in this beautiful country

[@studiousgirl71]

JuizZy turista is direct from Spanish like a great majority of Filipino words Tagalog also has a sprinkling of Malay words the use and pronunciation are different but the spelling is identical.

[@cielosalvador4726]

Idiot its spanish not tagalog

[@donvenanciodebernas]

The two people are speaking nonsense in my opinion. I mean why tf would you blame the government when you literally have common sense.

I’ve always thought Filipinos females are beautiful because of their mixture European features with their Asian features. I have a quite positive view on the Filipinos.

Pablo Here What an idiot. European mixture doesn’t make them more or less attractive and barely Filipinos have european DNA and when they do it’s usually less than 1-3%.

[@takitezy7]

You'd think that most of them have Spanish blood from the previous colonization, but in truth, only a very small number have Spanish blood.

[@nak141]

Their ancestors where from India, Indonesia, Malay, Arabs, spanish, Japanese, Chinese and American during the war.

[@zipzapkpop]

Duterte fanatics getting angry about people expressing discontent on the closure of Boracay lol. Just because other people disagree with Duterte's policy and your unwavering support to him, you can't just call them dumb. And just because news outlets report things you wouldn't agree with, you'll accuse them of being fake and biased. So who's the only one we should believe? Duterte? Please. Most people do not actually contest the closing of Boracay, what they are worried about is the lack of planning of the whole thing. Heck, even Duterte himself said that he has no master plan for it. I mean of course everyone wants Boracay to be clean, but the thing is there will be around 20,000 Filipinos who would be left jobless. You all brush it off because it doesn't affect you personally. Financial aid would be only be around 4k-2k pesos/month for 6 months. Idk man I can barely survive on 2k for a week. Once reopened, it's not like all businesses will still be there. As one interviewee excellently said, just being hardworking and diligent is sometimes not enough. This is the same case with the jeepney modernization program and TRAIN law, good intentions with desirable outcome but the implementation is poor with the lower class left to fend for themselves. It's so easy to call for change when it doesn't directly affect you, right?

[@nicojosepharpon7906]

The people itself is Philippines biggest problem. It is in our culture na " crab mentality" ..plus most Filipinos dont have self discipline. and of course OVERPOPULATION

[@eula1194]

boracay closing down is the result of decades worth of negligence, and probably also incompetence of some government officials. some past officials should've never let this happen. like environmentalists and mayors... owners are also to blame.. minimizing expenses and not even caring about nature.. it was even on national news that some establishments surpassed the capacity by more than 100%. thats 200,000 people on an area that could handle 100,000.
