09:21 The kid said "Ang ganda ng dreadlocks mo", which means "Your dreadlocks are beautiful" 11:02 "2 Joints" means "smoking weed" 12:55 Filipinos typically refer to internet cafes as "computer shops" 14:39 "Ano toh?" means "What's this?", "Akin nalang toh" means "This is mine now" 15:19 "Lumpiang Togue" is basically a spring roll that is filled with mung bean sprouts 16:20 The lil boy said "Laki ng muscles", saying that your muscles are big 16:51 "Junk shop", These workers are dismantling broken items and selling the parts 20:58 "Palegnke" is a wet market. Each town in the Philippines has its own palengke. also, most of the time, these kids are just throwing random gang signs. stay vigilant brother, enjoy ur travel :P

"Wazzup N"-most Filipinos don't really know what that word truly means. Many think it just means "Homie" or "Brother." So if someone calls you that in the Philippines, don't get upset right away. Hahaha!

[@classicalmusic9466]

2 joints jyst dont meant anything, it just use for campaign 😂

[@MikkosFree]

It's actually safer to be a foreigner in those areas. Thugs know that if they mess with a foreigner, police are obligated to dig deeper and get all up in their business more than usual. It's the city's way of saving face in a diplomatic issue. So criminal elements prefer to stay clear. That said, it's never as bad as some people paint it to be. You will find some of the most chill and welcoming people in these areas. As for the N word, a lot of Pinoy youth use it because it's what they hear from music and their favorite US celebrities. To them, they think it's nothing but a cool word people call each other. They are unaware of its history. Needless to say, none of them say it with hate or prejudice in their hearts.

Thanks for being so understanding. In the Philippines it's an entirely different country than the United States, so most people don't understand the racism behind the N-word, they just say it because they hear the word in the music and in rap culture so they just try to copy what they hear. No hate behind it. They still shouldn't be saying it, but when they do, they intend to say it like "bro."

To anyone who is a westerner and offended by the use of n-word and racial culture of USA. Just remember that Philippines literally has a province called Negros Occidental.

As a Filipino American, thank you for taking the time on understanding and respecting our culture. Can tell you’re a decent human being. Much love and hope you continue to enjoy your stay :) (recommend checking out Zambales) my people there are extremely welcoming and humble. Just gotta watch out for some thieves is all.. oh and a few meth users. But majority of em are good folk

im glad u didn’t take the n word as disrespect! Most people in the streets dont say it to be racist or disrespectful, they meant it as “bro”. They mostly dont know the racist meaning behind it

Hey, men as a Filipino when my peeps called you the N. It's not an offensive word, never was, and never will be. You were right in how you explained why we're saying it. Maybe due to ignorance, but mainly I think we say this because Filipinos were hugely influenced by Black American movies, specifically black neighborhoods where we see a lot of What's up my N, you know gangsta shit and we just wannabe like that. And we just kinda replicated that without knowing the actual meaning of the N-word. Nonetheless, I hope all black peeps won't see it as offensive, because I have a feeling this will not stop.

Instant subscribe, Your shots are beautiful man.

[@iamflyrell]

Thank you so much bro!

[@chazl1579]

Great video sir, We usually do not see the other side of the Philippines. They are chilled as hell out there, did not know they speak English so well.

[@iamflyrell]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@liyummy785]

Most of us Filipinos are mad westernized. These kids definitely mean no disrespect when they say the n-word. I think it's coming from a place of idolizing you almost. But, also, I think most of these kids, because of the lack of education, don't really know the history behind that word. It's all love tho🙏Enjoy your stay in the Philippines my brother!

[@asiangamer2867]
