Filipino "Milk Tea" on a 100 Degree Day

We wander around Barangay Cembo after a failed attempt to pick up our hat that needed repairs from Tatay Ricky the Tailor.
We get a Milk Tea from a local vendor and chat with Lola Carmencita who sells Pancit and Champorado in front of her house (although she made it very clear it's only in the mornings lol.) Enjoy!

Hi Kurt! You can use "Sa'yo na lang ang sukli" as a more local translation of "Keep the change" instead of saying "Sa'yo na lang ang barya" because we will think that you just only want us to keep the coins and not the whole change.

I get them confused all the time!!!

Keep going, Kurt! Take care. Love your description of BGC.

[@Taragumalatayowith_R576]

"Mano" is hand in spanish. And it's a way of asking for the hand (po) and asking for blessing and basically giving respect for the elders. 🥰

[@tagalogkurt]

Ahhhhhhhh that's where it comes from! Thank you po! 🫳👵🏻

[@jessicaal415]

13:50 “Gulong” = wheel usually “tires” for cars. You’ll find “vulcanizing” shops in the PH where repairing a tire is more cost effective. If you think about it, it’s better for our land. Fixing something, prolonging its life is a way of life in the PH. Anything, ma-re-re-medyo (there’s a remedy for anything, anything can be fixed instead of being discarded)

[@nenitagodoy7224]

Kurt, I'm from Arizona originally from Davao. I find your vlog entertaining, educational and hilarious and I love that you speak quite good in tagalog and even pretty good in Ilocano. You made me laugh so hard on a lot of your short videos. It's hysterical, I came across of your video today after a hard day at work. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much 🙏 🥰

[@carribyanadventures]

WORD OF ADVICE: Foreigners who want to travel between END OF MARCH TO JUNE, bring lots and lots of SANDO SHIRTS.....OR RIBBED TANKS IN THE US as they call them and a lot of washcloths....tshirts are only encourages if you plan to commute to malls of cold areas. If you intend to walk through streets, then tank tops and washcloths are a must have. Also bring foldable umbrellas. And always stop by at sari sari stores to buy cold drinks or fruit stands that offer coconut drinks and cold watermelon slices. Even halo2x stands abound everywhere. That's how Filipinos survive in the heat.

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

"Mano" - Spanish for hand, getting the hand of elderly grandparents, parents upon seeing them from arrival to greet showing respect by taking their hand and bowing placing it on your forehead. On another note, "GULONG" means tire of a vehicle. In your other vlog, "BIMPO" is face towel.

[@luisacuevas4656]

You need to try the gulaman drink. It’s a spin off version of the Buko drink, there’s a lot of sweet jello, equally tasty as the buko drink.

Masasanay = will get used to, Magsasanay = will practice, will rehearse, will exercise.

[@tagalogkurt]

I love Tagalog but I still get so confused on simple conjugations like this hahah

[@jessicaal415]

Ibabahagi is quite deep locals are not quite accustomed to this word. You can simply say “i-sh-share” ko yung location (or tindahan) mo sa vlog ko. Alternatively you can also say i-pr-promote. Taglish appears not just within a sentence but also within a word. Try it, when you return try speaking this way. This is the normal way of speaking in the PH. Switching to an English noun is one way. This is within a sentence. Making a verb taglish by adding a few letters to the English verb works as well and commonly done. I know, different and a bit confusing 😅

[@jennelynviado6535]

Sipag mong maglakad Kurt 😀 good thing hindi ka naliligaw! Put a cloth on your back i-tuck mo on top of your shirt to absorb your sweat. And also bring pamaypay(fan) with you.

[@tagalogkurt]

Oo nga that's how all the locals are doing it diba?!

[@Jaycee3]

As a tourist who visited BGC, I love BGC, but it is NOT Manila or the "real Philippines." IMO, if you want to experience Philippines, do what kuya Kurt is doing. Still, BGC is great TO ME because Filipinos are great. Kuya is right on during his interview with Calvin: you can find beautiful beaches all over the world like you would in the Philippines, but Filipinos can only be found in the Philippines -- you get what I mean with that last bit. Filipinos are all over the world, but the culture and the people are in the Philippines.

[@tagalogkurt]

Exactly kaibigan! I was in BGC for one day and said "Where is the Philippines I know?!"

Masasanay - Get used to Magsasanay - Practice, training

Kurt, it's nice that you still use imperial systems of measurement like Fahrenheit, miles, inches etc. There are only three countries in the world that still use imperial. The US is one of them. The other 190+ countries use the metric system 😊 it's more efficient.

[@tagalogkurt]

I don't think that where you go is the "real" Philippines and that BGC isn't, because BGC is the product of Filipino ingenuity and progress.
