FILIPINO BEHAVIOR EXPLAINED | FILIPINO CULTURE

[@greystar8074]

Thank you for being so honest and informative Rebeauti. Honestly your skin is beautiful. The thing that makes most people ugly is their attitude and actions.

[@TravellingMan20]

My gf would sometimes tell me that girls we passed on the street, had commented negatively about her dark skin tone. I told her to ignore them, because that was one of the things that I found the most attractive when we met. She often commented on how chismis was so common in the Philippines. Thanks Rubeauti for another well presented and interesting topic. I’m sure your channel will continue to grow. Best wishes to you.

[@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement]

My Filipina wife has chocolate brown skin, and at first she was sensitive about it. I assured her that if I was looking for a white skinned wife, I would not have left it all and moved to live half way around the world. I could have easily found that in Canada 😂

[@vegvisirphotography5632]

@@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement don't we all know, Kev man! I'd literally move to the moon just to avoid white women. It's a sad day when you realise you genuinely cannot stand the women in your own country. Every man NEEDS a god fearing woman by their side. You'll see something beautiful when your filipina asks you for $20 and goes Ukay Ukay, comes back with 4 fake Gucci shirts for you and half a wardrobe of fine as hell clothes for herself. Give your Canadian woman $20 and she'll come back with a penis and a rainbow 🏳️‍🌈 Do you know what I mean? 🤫

[@lulumariano6515]

White skin girls even may be prettier than dark skin girls when they are young. But, after 35, 40, dark skin women are prettier and hotter than white skin women who get older earlier than dark skin women. I love dark and black skin women.

[@timothyneiswander3151]

You can tell the body shamers that the joke is on them because those of us that think Filipinas are beautiful, think that because of the dark skin and the long black hair. You are very beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different. I would be proud to have you at my side anywhere in the world.

In Cebu, where I grew up before I move to the U.S. in my late teens, I and my Barkadas compliment your skin color by saying, She is a Mulata Beauty. It means to us, that You are a Beautiful Dark Skinned Lady. Lesson I learned from my grandma (mother's side) growing up in Cebu city Philippines. I was very upset about seeing too many wealthy Chinese and Spanish Families while we are just average families struggling to make it. My grand mother was not very happy to hear me say, we should send all the Chinese back to China and the Spaniards back to Spain. Grandma told me with a very stern but loving way, (Danny) my nickname, do you know our family history? you should. Now I will give you a choice, which country are we all going home to? I was speechless! She told me Danny, my great, great, grandfather came from mainland China, now my great, great grandmother is half Spanish/Portuguese. So, you better watch what you say, it will bite you back. We Filipinos are lucky in many ways that, we experienced many different cultures that most of us survive anywhere God put us in this Planet.

[@daddybob6096]

@Antonio Alfaro. Your grandmother was right Antonio. My dearest is from Sogod Cebu, we lived together there for 7 years. My wife is very astute in her thinking. She said, 'no one owns the country we live in, it belongs to all of us who live there'. A woman neighbour at Sogod, once told me, 'go back to where you came from', she also does not have the right to tell me that, the Philippines does not belong strictly to Filipino's. I had a legal right to be there, i had a residency card and i was self sufficient, not requiring anyone to support me and my wife plus, we own our home there. It's just plain jealousy bordering on racism, (because i am caucasian). The barangay Captain, once told me, ' Bob, you are a good citizen', that mean't a lot to me, because i tried to be exactly that. Bob and Lina. New Zealand.

[@chicagocomment]

Unplug yourself from the colonial matrix. In other words, a westerner told you that you were beautiful, or that you are ugly. These standards were based off of their "idea" of what beauty is, and was psychologically reinforced through wealth and "cast" systems to ensure that there would always be a labor force taking care of the rich elitists. Now you know that you are beautiful. Even westerners know this, which is why young westerns are breaking away from this type of colonial thinking embracing all forms of beauty, wanting to finally mary other groups of people other than western women. Hollywood, social media, and advertising conditions your mind to "think" this is "in" and this is "out". You have to go far beyond this and have looonggg conversations with your future spouse. Take long walks and talk. Go beyond the superficial stuff like cuteness and fashion and see not only the outward physical attributes that attracted you, but the mental and spiritual. In the end, the latter will always "trump" the first as this is what is needed to.keep a relationship together and lasting long term.

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

Just an add on comment about skin colour. For me, I have never understood this fixation some people in Asia (not just the Philippines) have with having light skin and thinking it is better than darker skin. For me, it is the opposite!! I have light skin but would love to have darker skin - because then I wouldn't get such bad sunburns!! Also I think it is just more beautiful than my pale skin. I was told, when I lived in China, that lighter skin is preferred because dark skin means you are poorer and are a labourer who has to work outside all day instead of an office. (who cares, was what I always thought in response). I still remember the first time I saw people in Japan using umbrellas in the summer on a bright day and thinking, wow, they must know more about an impending change in the weather than me only to eventually realize they were trying to avoid the sun! For Canadians, that borders on bizarre!! We celebrate our tans, especially in winter when it is a sign of wealth because it means you could take a vacation far away from the freezing winter in some tropical paradise! Haha, people like what they don't have I guess!

[@jamesvreeland2632]

Great episode. What you said is so very true. When my fiance lived in Bohol there was so many gossipers. I told her ignore them. All they have to do is gossip all day because their own lives are so sad and boring. They hate to see anyone who is more happy than them. They are always so negative and jealous.She is too concerned about what they say, even to her. My mom taught us if you have nothing good to say don't say anything. I told my fiance that she needs to ignore them and tell them you are not my friends, kiss my ass and go to hell. Then they stop.

Good video. I've lived here for 16 years and great to see a Filipina talking about those negative toxic traits. Too many "happy, everything is great" videos that are unrealistic. Another big issue is how Filipinos bully other Filipinos when they speak English ("social... so OA..."). It cripples confidence of young Filipinos at a very young age.

[@marcst-sauveur6367]

[@leostgeorge2080]

Being from the US and married to a Filipina also living here 6 years i can say you are 100% correct in everything you said. My wife use to use skin whitener. She stopped when i asked her many years ago. She looks like she has a very nice tan something us in the states strive to achieve. Also right is she is never wrong. Always an excuse lmao. She alone supported her family and put her younger brother threw collage. The folks next door don't speak to us and say she changed since getting married to a foreigner. I think most are upset i do not lend them money. We will be moving soon we purchased land in the mountains and are building a new home there. I will be glad to get out of this toxic city where karaoke in the middle of the street till very late at night is a common thing. They dislike me because i will go to them and tell them show respect for others and lower there volume. FYI Most Filipino's can't sing. Don't get me started on the driving.

Haters want to hate … You are right … Why ruin good vibes …

[@dustbusterz]

A Number of Reasons can Contribute to the Always Late Habits 1) it was Never Stressed ( Growing up) that being on Time can be Important. 2) Being in Crowded Traffic on a Daily Basis can Lead to a Defeatist Attitude ( where Traffic is Slow, you have no control so why worry) But there is an Answer to the Slow Traffic. I studied the Traffic Patterns on my way to work. Got to know the Average Time to get from Home to Work, added 10 to 15 Minutes to that time in order to address the construction and other delays, so I learned to never Show up late.

[@philwaller4379]

I learned this lesson from a co worker. If you NEVER want to be late....just show up an hour early. Get into that habit, and its much more positive than the habit of being late. Also, its an easy way to stand out from the crowd!

[@mykldean]

Befriended a 101 year old woman who said this when people asked her what the secret was to her beauty, grace, longevity: I'm glad when someone is talking behind my back because they aren't talking about someone else. I wondered about that for a long time until I settled on one of my favorite countries to immigrate to, which for years had an official motto, and you may even hear it often repeated in the general population: noone is better than everyone else. What the awesome woman of great age said, and that favorite countries motto was, set me to wonder: how can I understand that, be that? Not just for altruism, but, if I go to that country without being that wise: maybe they will kick me out for not being cool enough, ya know.

The countries motto I mentioned was misquoted. Should be "no one is better than anyone else" NOT no one is better than everyone else. Sorry.

[@nickgustin]

Three pieces of advice for those struggling with the topics in the video: 1. Self confidence: the hardest lesson we learn. Some get it easy and others take years to break a cycle of mind games… the ironic part is you’d never know who is struggling. 2. Toughness: Tough times make strong/resilient people. It would be nice to have it easy 100%, but then we’d all be crying over the smallest things. 3. Faith: Aligning your values with the lessons of your faith can get you through a lot. There are so many lessons in my faith about being treated poorly and how the person/people overcame their oppression.

I agree I've witnessed most of that in the Philippines. The children of poor parents can never get ahead because they spend half their life providing a retirement for their parents The obsession with white skin is like nothing I've seen before. The refusal to admit error is also frustrating. They hate to be embarrassed and will lie to save face. Even with all that we still love the Filipina s! 😊

It seems that jealousy and envy is at the root of these behaviors. I think that there's some immaturity going on there as well. Thanks for shinning a light on these behaviors. I'm sure it's not an easy decision "to spill the tea" on your countrymen and women but as a foreigner from the US I like hearing about the good, the bad and the ugly, before I actuly visit the Philippines. As a mature adult, your comments won't discourage me from visiting. I'm very thankful for your perspective however. Thank you for your honesty 😊.

Thank you for the brutal truth. As a cano married to a filipina for 25 years in the US, the competition, jealousy, chismis is so bad among filipinas here. My wife has had filipina friends but the 'I am your friend until I am not' is just so depressing. Her best friend is Japanese. They get along great. Keep up the good work and keep the information flowing. But at the end of the day, as a tourist I find the Filipino people to be very friendly, caring and generous.

During my first visit to Pampanga from the UK, I asked my Filipino friend 'what are all these adverts for skin whitening products'? He explained how Filipinas often don't like their morena skin. In the UK girls use tanning studios and products to make their skin darker. Many Western men love morena skin tone and your long dark hair, so please Filipinas, celebrate your natural beauty.

I have to admit- I am guilty of having some of these negative vibes. I am from NY and I respect the Filipino culture. Especially their resilience and revolutionary ways. The way they changed their national language from Spanish to Tagalog very quickly- to preserve their culture. So I have to admit I feel negatively about the way the Filipino beauty standard places whiter skin or mestiza appearance above the brown skinned women- who are in my honest opinion the most beautiful women in the entire world. I do become slightly annoyed when I often see half Europeans represent the Philippines in the a pageant. Respectfully I know that those contestants are great Katriona is absolutely incredible in every way! But the Philippines needs to get over this subtle prejudice against beautiful brown people.

Only go in the bathroom when you absolutely have to. Be careful end of the year too. I learned we are all the same. My experience has helped me in my endeavors. I lived in Hawaii for 7 yrs and they straight hate white people. I never had a problem. I can read it quick and adjust. I’m comfortable at a Hindu party or a Pentecostal church service in Spanish.

English humour revolves around the idea of self-deprecation, we will abuse ourselves before turning that attention to others. for example, my father and I say terrible things to each other, if you didn't understand the context. However taken in context we have gone out of our way to find insults for each other, demonstrating that we have been thinking about each other. You have a beautiful skin tone btw. I'm not "colour blind" as so many Westerners pretend to be, your skin is darker than mine.. so what. all that matters is who you are, not what you look like. We should acknowledge our differences and celebrate them :) Small town gossip exists all around the world and it is driven by jealousy and spite, the challenge is to rise above it, "be the better person". It is unpleasant but it is not unique to PH. Take the positives out of each day, and smile at someone, because that smile just might make someone feel happier, take care and have fun :)

I don't see all this as negative. I see the bashers as jealous people who have no way to gain traction to succeed. Yes, feelings are hurt because you are a very sensitive and loving group of people. You've mentioned before the competitive nature of your culture, but it should also be mentioned in the same paragraph that in disasters, everyone helps each other. After the Dec 16th Typhoon, people lost their lives, homes, and possessions. I didn't see the crying, whining and self pitty that we see here in the US. Yes, people gossip, but it's only toxic because of your tenderness and caring nature. Your people care about everything to the point of stress about harmless words.

I have grown up abroad, but am rooted to my origins. I realize that Gossip and bullying is common in all cultures and Philippines are not exempt. Some times we focus too much on the hardship and envy of others that it makes Filipinos too sensitive. What I do note is that no one but a few calls anyone out on their negativity and allows it to permeate. The chain is never broken, when all you hear from a few Gossipers that create fake wokness. Look at what has happened to our world today with all the fake news and control given to those disemenating the news. If all you hear is negative news; that is all you become sensitive to; I suggest that you dwell less on the past and make the present a time to change the conversation. Challenge and change the conversation when you hear the negative discussion. This will add to Filipino culture. PS, Filipinos are admired for the beautiful tan skin.

I'm glad maam that you were able to mention the toxic mentallity of Pilipinas .I'd lived many years abroad more than 4 decades but the progress is still slow to change..That's why quite hard for me to adapt & to go back the old way.I think we need to be optimistic and improve our weaknesses which is universally accepted in order to remove those toxic in our existence.Thank you,hoping our women not in general will accept it.

[@RichFerreiraIns]

You are a good person. Sincere and authentic. Good luck to you. I have subscribed.

[@RichAtNaxos]

dear Rubeauti, you are a class act. I appreciate your topics of discussion. Thanks!

[@sunshineyogini4337]

I like your videos. You tell it like it is. You’re very articulate. Keep up the good work.

[@budphillips8235]

Thank You for another great vlog, I find it frustrating that so many relationships never stand a chance because of "topics"

[@trevorblack8839]

Talking about Filipino time, I was invited to my Filipino friends for Xmas dinner, I had to go by bus and they were so disorganised I had to leave before food came out because the last bus of the day was about to leave

[@jett70710]

Rubeauti! Good vlog. Many KZbin videos on the subject say that the things you are talking about, insulting toxic negative remarks, and what you said about you being very sensitive, toxic people target sensitive people and say things to upset them on purpose. It is a form of Narcissism and might even be NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They are abusive verbally and should be ignored or it will make you upset, then they point the finger and say "look, what a baby! You are SO IMMATURE!" and things like that. It's horrible, my father treated me this way my whole life and I finally had to push him out of my life because it is not healthy and he wouldn't stop. It's like he is addicted to insulting me. Watch out for these people Rubeauti! Walk away from them. Especially if you are like me. I am very sensitive to other peoples emotions and vibrations, I can tell what someone is feeling without talking to them. Narcissists target people like me, just to upset them. Especially in public. It's ridiculous, I know! Stay strong. It took me my whole life to learn how to deal with my sensitive side. 🙂

[@jett70710]

@@Rubeauti Ya, it is unfortunate. I know most Filipinos would never abandon family members and good friends of the family and most people enjoy tease and pick on each other but really I don't mean that, there is a certain line most people don't cross and if it's some kind of disorder, there are ways to tell. Like super toxic and into crazy! Like lying, stealing, not being able to say they're sorry when they say and do bad to you, telling people you are mentally ill/immature and like that behind your back, trying to turn people against you, jealousy, etc. Thank God most people are not like this! Life would be so lonely. Because I would be like "ok EVERYONE get out of my house" LOL! 😂

[@glenproctor1999]

I think it can happen anywhere that people's lives are so empty, they need to fill it up with spite about others. I feel sorry for them really. To have a life where the only interest is in putting people down? That's so sad. I wonder if they were bullied a lot and feel that they have to give it back? I love your attitudes Rubeauti, live and let live. Compassion for all and never judge others, it's their lives, their decisions. Stay safe and well lovely lady! ❤🥰😘

[@stephlovesanimals]

That jealousy stuff is kinda normal even in the US. I like how you tell it straight

[@tahj2981]

I love your skin-tone🥰😍 you are an amazing expression of beauty inside and out! Looking forward to exploring your country to reset and learn something new!

[@AzerPaul]

Interesting information. I'll try to observe some of these behaviors as I travel.

[@hotpaprika67]

Wow, you can talk about anything, just listening to your voice and watching you is so easy on my eye and soul.. God Bless

[@Rubeauti]

You Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words :) 🙏

[@fogrunr5075]

Thank you for this. It actually helps me feel more positive about the Philippines.

[@zoranljubicic8672]

if there is someone like you who understands and is aware objectively of the mentioned situations, then it must be more of you out there. it just has to be. thank you for this video. take care

[@tryscience]

Thank you for this honest discussion. I don't let toxic people bother me, but I would warn them that their toxic words and behavior are also poison to their spirit. Bullying doesn't only hurt the bullied. The bully is harmed by their own negative behavior.

[@peterbeyer5755]

😮The toxic behaviour you described is universal!😮. Usually I say to a toxic comment “Thankyou for sharing your opinion with me”

[@Facts.Are.Straight]

I guess, that most of these traits are everywhere. I've lived in South America and also raised in Europe. Gossip and jealousy across all ethnicities and cultures. Thanks for confirming that Philippines is not an exception. In case I come to visit, it will feel home.

[@chachab9239]

Truly Rubeauti I wish that your honest views that you share here will contribute to the positive thinking to your negative country people. MAY YOUR KZbin NUMBERS GROW 10 FOLD. MAY GOD CONTINUALLY BLESS YOUR TRUTHS.❣️

[@vagmanis251]

Hi Rubeauti i have to say from my experience without being there, but from LD relationship , i have noticed all of what you mation here. For me the most toxic is that Filipinos can not be wrong they never make mistakes and especially when you find out that they say lies they don't admit that. No people are perfect all we can make mistakes but in a relationship you must have the courage to admit it and try not do it again. Unfortunately this never happened. This can ruin a relationship.

[@FFEMTCrowe]

Just subscribed. I really like your content and your personality. I'm from a small town in Virginia USA and I tend to have old fashioned traditional views on dating and marriage. Your videos have helped answer some questions. Toxicity is everywhere so knowing there are women who still hold good values is promising. Your a beautiful smart and bubbly person thank you.

[@gordongreener9769]

I listened to every word you said and appreciated the information you gave.. Looking forward to future video 😊👍well done

[@ivannovotny4552]

Love your another honest, candid and insightful episode... could you possibly do topic on "losing face" as i think would be quite interesting.

[@jerrylong3669]

young lady your skin color is absolutely beautiful...keep your head up the "haters" are jealous of your beauty and your intelligence

[@usaalways]

Very good video. Natural Filipina in her honest words.

[@stormchaser419]

It's funny how culture works. Dark skin, dark hair and slim beautiful figures for women are very attractive.

[@nolanchamczuk2179]

You are a absolutely beautiful young woman...I agree the most toxic behaviour is the crab mentality of people. to me its just shows how immature/low self worth, esteem the people doing it are.

[@cjleveille2626]

your a beautiful soul and it shows again through another great vid. Thank

[@daledaniel316]

Thank you for your persistent efforts to educate us foreigners. You have helped me better understand my Filipina and her culture . Your English is better than the English of most westerners. Clearly, you have made an effort to sharpen your dialect. God bless you always !

[@bryankoziar2867]

You are exactly my thoughts on what a beautiful Filipina is and can only hope when I come over there I can find a woman half as beautiful as you. Keep up the good videos.

[@robloxgamersjz3247]

I love your honesty. You are beautiful and intelligent too!

[@krendellbreaux7825]

It's the same way in every community.

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

Really. In Germany ? In Switzerland ?

[@MrJJ-jv4lu]

Thank you for sharing 1st let me say you are a beautiful woman that may not mean very much to you coming from a black male but I think your complexion is very beautiful. And secondly I am very surprised to hear that there are so many Things we have in common As a black American that relates to the life experience of a Filipinos. Again thank you for sharing.

[@georgephillips3625]

Hello Rebeauti, good morning. I hope you're doing well. Gossip is big in America too. You get the exact same thing here. So don't worry, it seems to be human nature. It may stem from a touch of jealousy or envy.

[@georgeanderson8215]

Great video young lady. Many truths exposed in this area. But I feel Many of the philipino characteristics you mentioned are also found in most cultures. Looking forward to your next video. You seem to share common sense thoughts and I appreciate you perspective! P.S. I think darker skin is beautiful!

[@bearsteinquist5130]

I hate the Saving face thing. That's 1 of the things I will have a hard time dealing with when I get there. Own up to your mistakes.

[@prescottosegie]

Good video rubi thank you for explaining this toxic mentality I appreciate it very much

[@devinbryne9208]

All so true. I'm American, and my wife is from Cebu, we got married 3 years ago. After we got engaged my wife had to deactivate her FB account because so many people started reaching out to her for loans, sales, investment opportunities and such, even people she hadn't spoken to in years. They all assumed she was instantly wealthy, it's ridiculous. I remember my first time in Cebu, I was shocked at the amount of skin whitening commercials I saw on tv. I asked my wife (then gf) about it and she explained that most Filipinos desire a lighter skin color. I was shocked because us westerners find dark skin and dark hair very exotic and attractive. Then I noticed all of the famous celebrities on tv are mostly lighter skinned Filipinos. Now that my wife has lived here in the US with me for 3 years she still gets excited about how much lighter her skin is since being here, she loves it lol.

[@kenamaro]

I love the Morena skin !! Sooo gwapa !! Ignore the chismis and toxic comments!!! Be happy and proud you are Filipina!! 🇵🇭❤️💯👍🏻

[@ricksdestinationcebu]

With my wife since 2016,, OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The perfect explanation for all her ODD habits, lol... I actually had her listen over at least 6 times where you said a Filipina is NEVER wrong,, Tho she often is,, yet I am proud to say we had Tampo ONCE,, and it never happened again,, Glad I found you blog,, keep up the good work,,,

[@georgephillips3625]

Talking bad about a person's skin tone is a form of racism. Racism is never good and rather shameful. I think you are incredibly beautiful just the way you are. I would hope you would be proud of yourself just the way you are. I know I would be proud to have you on my arm. You're a good and decent woman and deserve the best life has to offer. Next time someone says something negative about your beautiful skin tone, just point at them and laugh at them out loud. If you want to know what real beauty is, just look in a mirror. You should see a beautiful princess. If I were in the Philippines, I would certainly ask you out on a date. I think it would be nice to get to know each other.

[@anthonysherry2628]

Hi Rubeauti, what you said is true. Hard working people. As for skin colour, its quite sad, if people comment on what colour others are. Believe me, it happens in other places too. Beauty lies within. Sadly my ex, a chinese thought white skin was beautiful, and darker tones were unattractive. But to me it doesnt matter.

[@craigsphilippines466]

Hello, I am new to your channel , I am an Australian and I have been living in the Philippines 10 years this July, all what you said I have experienced and so much more, when I arrived to the Philippines in 2012 I had no idea about anything and I came to find a gf and marry, now 10 years later , I can tell you everything that is Filipina, tempo, socialising outside the family, having to bring a chaperone everytime they date you , always expecting you to pay the bill , and invite the whole family when you are going to lunch or dinner at a restaurant . Now I could write a list that is almost endless on the good things about Filipina. The bad things are overlooked when you experience the amazing things a Filipina brings as a girlfriend or wife.

[@michaelmcneal3793]

I have met my wonderful Filipina girlfriend over 2 months ago we have such a great understanding and trust and honesty and respect for each other regardless that she is much younger than me but that does not bother me because I did not chose her and accepted her because she's young I accepted her because she's a loving caring respectful human being who just wants someone to accept her for who she is and not judge her because she's from a poor family in the Providence. Everyone has the right to be chosen to be loved and cared for regardless of what other people think I am very happy with the Filipino lady that I have met over 2 months ago she loves me I love her we trust each other we are honest with each other her family accepts me and approves of me because I respect their daughter and I care for her and I take care of her and I support her regardless of what other people think or say this is my choice if you love someone. You would do whatever it takes to support that woman regardless if she's poor or not God has created us all as equals to Love thy neighbor.

[@Fanboy204]

I can relate. I'm part Filipino and the only sibling with darker tone skin. I grew up in a less diverse area of the Midwest after my father retired from the military. Toxicity sucks and seems to be universal no matter where you live.
