Filipino hospitality is best described as a 3-stage process: 1st stage: YESTERDAY you were a STRANGER; 2nd stage: TODAY you are a FRIEND; 3d stage: TOMORROW you will be FAMILY.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Well said 👏

[@nidapatchin674]

i’ll describe Philippines as holy cow a land of many islands with beautiful beaches and yummy food …. the friendliest people i’ve ever known !

​@Livingabroadalex why you didn't asked him why its dangerous? Why come often if it's dangerous?

[@Livingabroadalex]

@@andimakan7779 you're misunderstanding. He means dangerous as you'll fall in love with the place

[@julitapineda2046]

Philippines the Paradise on Earth. Amazing country. Hospitality at the highest level. Thanks and God bless

[@Livingabroadalex]

Agreed 😁

[@applehair995]

It is not paradise, the gap between rich and poor is still the widest, standards of living are low for most. Infrastructure for tourism is perenially challenging.

People in the Philippines are hospitable, awesome and most of them beautiful places.

[@artqq7425]

I would like to invite that American guy who described the Philippines as "fun and dangerous" to the latest Global Law and Order Report by Gallup Inc. - a US analytics and consultancy firm based in Washington. There were 122 countries covered by this report ranked from safest to least safe country. Singapore was ranked no. 1, the safest country in the world. The Philippines came in 30th safest country. If the Philippines is "dangerous", then all the more than 90 countries that were ranked lower than the Philippines are MORE DANGEROUS. The countries ranked lower than the Philippines include France, Hongkong, Croatia, Slovakia, US (41st place) Italy, Germany, UK, Armenia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Thailand (77th place). This comment was based on established fact/data generated by highly reliable and trustworthy source.

[@juenrajah6158]

Thanks for the info.

[@ericalves83]

hey @artqq7425 thanks for sharing that! I agree, Philippines is relatively safe. I meant 'dangerous' in the sense that you could lose yourself here if you're not careful.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Hey !! Glad you could respond to this. That's how I interpreted it too 🥳

[@mariabokhari8401]

I live in US and US is more dangerous than Philippines. Not only crimes, gangbangers but mostly racists. It's a diverse country with different cultures, different beliefs, different religions, and different genders. More haters especially when COVID came. People are more friendly in the Philippines and welcoming foreigners and live foreigners unlike in US they don't like minorities. When minorities are hardworking than their own.

[@eliolovesgaymovies1117]

Oh please the guy said a lot of good things abt the Philippines and just you dnt like what he said then pulled all this up.. While its informative, lets not sugarcoat but the country is still tricky and that rooted from the incompetence of the government which he brought up... Take the compliment with a grain of salt

[@susancarrera8781]

I’m PILIPINA born and raised in Pangasinan till Iwas 17 yrs old then moved to USA to be with my father, I’ve been living here in CA for the last 55 years, I visited Phil. quite a few times, and describing Phil. Besides- welcoming, Kind, Fun, Laid back, Phil is well Known for their HOSPITALITY, “ you can’t leave without eating” very very friendly, outspoken with a friendly smile, you can never see anyone without smiling,very helpful people especially direction, they will go out of their way to help you even if it takes a whole day. They will climb a coconut tree tree for you. And last they are honest.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Wow thankypu for sharing ypur experience

[@TheMaiah13]

agree with the outspoken part. unlike other parts of Asian where they try to hide their emotions and real thoughts/feelings about you, filipinos are more upfront and transparent. yes, it can be crass and naive sometimes to overly share what can be perceived as very inappropriate and unsophisticated info, but you can be assured of our thoughts and feelings most of the time. to experience that means you have been accepted into that pinoy’s inner circle which shows their level of comfort with you to have broken down the walls between you.

[@Bandera1909]

I like the honesty of the people who got interviewed; they included the negatives which is great so that at the very least, the country and would know what to improve. Thank you for blog sir... great job. 🙂

[@Livingabroadalex]

I agree, and I'm always surprised how much the positives outweigh the negatives! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@RVdw-ph9uc]

The fist guy said about the negative is true. Traffic and internet is a headache. But its getting better for the internet connection in the past few years. Philippines is not heaven there will be negative things you will encounter but life is not perfect, just dont let is consume you, deal with it then let go like most filipinoes. This is the reason why we are positive and happy people, if the world is giving you shit, walk out and find something else that will make you happy.

[@Siddhartha040107]

The guy who's been back and forth in the Philippines for 18 years really gets it.

I like the Filipino people. We get along very well. My one word decription is "HOT". I stay indoors as much as possible when I am there, either at home or in some a/c mall. My wife was born in the Philippines and now just vists her relatives and sometimes get togethers with old friends.

[@antoniettesaab1755]

The Philippines is hot, but not as HOT as the state of Florida, cause Florida is extremely hot and humid, way too hot, on summer months. At least, the Filipinos still have an option to go to Baguio City or Tagaytay, to cool and freshen themselves up, as Baguio is the summer capital of the Philippines, if they want to. Or better yet, have the AC on in their homes, or go to air-conditioned huge malls, for as long as they want, as there are benches to sit on.... That's how great the Philippines still is.🇵🇭

[@501man9]

@@antoniettesaab1755 You're right and that is what I do when I am there. Stay in A/C home or a mall . My other option is to let my wife visit by herself and I stay home in So Cal.

I don’t like the comments that Philippines is comparing to the Latino in Asia, first we don’t speak fluently Latino, we speak Tagalog, and the majority of Pilipino speak English, it’s our universal language, each island had its own dialect, and the only way we could communicate each other is to speak English and Tagalog, our school system is English, second to Singapore, Philippines is speaking fluently English, our culture is so different from Latino culture

Cebu City is compacted City, it has no place to expand cause it is located beside the mountains and along Shores, a tiny place in between the mountain and the shores which is similar to Hongkong that is why industrial area, Residential area, Commercial area are mixed together due to lack of place to expand. But, take note Cebu City is first City of the Philippines, it was the Capital of the Philippines long ago. Cebu is a Central Products Trading place in Southern Philippines and THE MOST OF HISTORIES IN THE PHILIPPINES it started in Cebu.

[@vwitchhunter3k837]

I can say that the Philippines is so “WELCOMING” to good people!! Meaning, if you go to the Philippines to just experience what the country offers like visiting the beautiful places, eat the native foods, enjoying the company of friendly people. But IF you are like those given the chance to visit and do bad things like making illegal business, then the Philippines is NOT a “welcoming” country to people with bad intentions!!!Filipinos seen some of them. They go there and don’t respect the trust they were given to them for their visit!

You seem to love Cebu, bro. The Queen City of the South. Every island is unique, that's the truth. If one has time, one could study the seal of each island. It has meaning and tells you the history and character of a certain place. Cebu for example has the Magellans cross and sea shells in its seal. Bohol have two hands clasped in a handshake. They have meaning, bro. It's easier to know the the island if you study its history. It's in the seal. Crack the code. 😊
